My Silly, Sweet Wife

After sending Ye Guichen into the villa, Jin Ling didn’t say much more, merely reminding him not to leave the place for the time being, and if he did, to inform her.

Ye Guichen didn’t waste words, just nodded in agreement.

Jin Ling snorted lightly and quickly left.

Not long after Jin Ling left, Ye Guichen’s phone rang. He picked it up to see it was Feng Wuji calling.

”Master, where are you? I want to drink with you!” The Feng Family is currently devouring the Shen Family’s assets, definitely very busy, but Feng Wuji seems to feel like a day without seeing Ye Guichen is like three autumns apart.

When idle, he loves to seek out Ye Guichen.

Lying on the comfortable large sofa, Ye Guichen rarely feels at ease and directly refused Feng Wuji.

After hanging up, Ye Guichen reflected on what Chu Tiannan said to him, and the experiences of this period.

Actually, Chu Tiannan’s concern isn’t unwarranted.

During this period, Ye Guichen has been in the limelight, offending too many people, and this time has netted the Shen Family completely.

Although the Shen Family members have been thoroughly frightened, there’s no guarantee that some expert behind the Shen Family won’t seek trouble with him.

As the saying goes: open attacks are easy to dodge, hidden arrows hard to guard against. There might be quite a few who want to deal with him.

Moreover, King Qin has focused his attention on him, likely speculating about his identity, and having him captured might be to confirm his identity and then use him as a hostage.

Added to this, the people from the Eastern Ninja Sect killed have connections with Japan’s Iaido.

The leader of Iaido is said to be also a Great Grandmaster, whose status in Japan isn’t any lesser than the Emperor, and even called a Demi Immortal.

If Iaido truly wants to deal with him, it could indeed be troublesome.

”Alas, inadvertently, I’ve ended up offending so many.”

Ye Guichen rubbed his head, indeed a bit difficult, and according to Chu Tiannan, hiding out here for the time being seems the best approach.

Then taking advantage of this time to elevate his skills further, and once Chu Tiannan has dealt with all enemies, Ye Guichen can emerge more safely.

”Can’t do, if I actually obediently stay here, isn’t it like being a turtle hiding its head?” Ye Guichen wouldn’t truly stay put here, agreeing merely to honor Chu Tiannan’s good intentions, not wanting him to worry.

Thinking thus, Ye Guichen quietly flipped over the wall.

Only, having appeared outside the wall about seven meters away, the surroundings suddenly seemed to form an invisible barrier, blocking Ye Guichen.

”Array?”

Ye Guichen paused, surprised to find this array not only blocks outsiders but also insiders from leaving?

Ye Guichen didn’t rashly breach the array, and seeing it was already late, simply turned back again, found himself a comfortable large bed, and decided to sleep first.

As for the array, Ye Guichen wasn’t worried at all, if wanting to leave, he had a hundred ways to quietly break open the array.

Ye Guichen felt reassured, yet the entire Hua Country Martial Arts World was boiling overnight.

Chu Tiannan released news overnight of taking Ye Guichen as a direct disciple, meaning nothing less than Ye Guichen being his successor in the future.

”Who is this Ye Guichen? Chu’s Military God has had the Thirteen Grand Protectors all these years, more than enough, why suddenly take a disciple? And a last disciple at that; has Chu’s Military God’s health had an issue?”

That’s the first thought most people had.

After all, Chu Tiannan’s age isn’t considered old; if in good health, there’s no need to suddenly take a disciple, akin to preparing for the end.

But speculation remains speculation, ultimately unproven.

”Ye Guichen, isn’t he the one who killed the Eastern Ninja Sect leader?”

”Yes, yes, it seems so. I heard he also overturned one of Tianjing’s four major families, the Shen Family, within one night. Seems quite capable!”

”Not just that, I heard he’s also the Heavenly God Temple’s main representative, merely in his twenties.”

”Wow, really? The main representative of Heavenly God Temple has always been mysterious; how come suddenly revealed, might Chu’s Military God intentionally pin this title on Ye Guichen to gain credibility?”

”That’s uncertain, but with the Eastern Ninja Sect leader dead, Japan surely won’t let it lie, fearing Chu’s Military God taking Ye Guichen now might stir trouble!”

”Ah, Chu’s Military God always strategizing, why abruptly do such a brainless thing? Our relations with Japan already aren’t harmonious, and if Japan causes issues now, it might shake our Hua Country Martial Arts World.”

”I heard the Eastern Ninja Sect leader is a disciple of Japan’s Iaido, that Iaido leader is reputed to slice with Demi Immortal power, supposedly already entering Grandmaster Realm, even more formidable than Chu’s Military God!”

”Stop boosting others’ morale while undermining our spirit, Chu’s Military God may not be surpassed. In my heart, Chu’s Military God is world’s number one.”

”Ha-ha, I too hope so, now I just worry if that Iaido Demi Immortal slicing challenges Chu’s Military God, it’d be nationwide sensational. Winning would be fine, but losing may plunge our Hua Country into passivity.”

Debates persisted, but most held pessimistic views on Chu Tiannan’s taking Ye Guichen as a disciple at this time.

Even the Thirteen Grand Protectors felt Chu Tiannan had erred.

Jin Ling didn’t return home after sending Ye Guichen to the villa, instead went straight to the base.

In the secret base, Wen Cangfeng gathered the other protectors in Tianjing.

Nowadays, with many protectors dead, injured, and one Gui Tuo quietly leaving, they are at their weakest.

They mostly heard about Chu Tiannan’s decision, feeling odd inside, inevitably resistant.

”Brother Wen, what does Lord Military God intend by this?” The speaker was the Sixth Grand Protector.

His face was rugged, neck adorned with a string of Buddha beads, indeed a big monk.

However, regular monks are typically kindly, this big monk looked fierce, not someone easily crossed.

Wen Cangfeng glanced around and lightly sighed, ”Lord Military God’s intentions are unclear to us, fearing we might be caught up because of Ye Guichen.”

”Indeed, Brother Wen, couldn’t you persuade him?”

”In these times, what’s more important, one person or the bigger picture?”

”Yes, even hidden forces like King Qin came demanding him, yet Lord Military God refuses. What skills does Ye Guichen possess, warranting such regard from Lord Military God?”

The protectors were somewhat indignant.

The sentiment was Ye Guichen is akin to the ruinous Daji, yearning to slice him with one strike.
