My Silly, Sweet Wife

Liu Fang pondered for a moment and also expressed agreement: ”Indeed, although several of the Seven Kings have allied to deal with King Qin, they dare not act rashly. If King Qin can hold the Emperor’s son, even without the Book of Life and Death, he could support the Emperor’s son to ascend to the throne, and then King Qin could manipulate from behind the scenes, making the Emperor’s son a puppet. But now Ye Guichen has such bad luck, having provoked the cultivator Gongyang Lang, he’s probably doomed.”

”What do we do next?” Chen Zhi also hesitated.

The grand plan of King Qin is all about the Emperor’s son.

The main reason for sending Fang Tiancheng to bring back Ye Guichen was because it was speculated that Ye Guichen’s identity might be extraordinary.

Moreover, even if Ye Guichen isn’t the Emperor’s son, King Qin can claim he is.

Now that Ye Guichen is dead, all plans are ruined.

In the private room, a silence fell.

Meanwhile, Fang Tiancheng exited the private room and quickly looked towards the restaurant lobby.

At that glance, Fang Tiancheng felt as if he had seen a ghost.

Ye Guichen and his two companions were standing at the restaurant lobby, ordering food.

And Gongyang Lang, whom Fang Tiancheng feared to the extreme, was standing respectfully beside Ye Guichen, looking like a servant.

That was not all; Luo Shentong, who had been crippled by Gongyang Lang, was now standing lively beside Ye Guichen.

”What is happening?” Fang Tiancheng felt he must be dreaming.

Luo Shentong was in such a dire condition at that time; even if he didn’t die, he would likely be eaten by beast at night.

Yet now, not only is he not dead, it seems most of his injuries have healed.

It should be known that Luo Shentong was sent flying by Gongyang Lang’s energy wave, shattering almost all the bones in his body.

In that situation, he couldn’t even move, but now he seemed okay.

What was more unrealistic to Fang Tiancheng was that Ye Guichen had offended Gongyang Lang yet still lived, and Gongyang Lang was actually with Ye Guichen!

This is definitely a dream!

Fang Tiancheng pinched himself hard, grimacing with pain, almost crying out.

He quickly covered his mouth, his eyes unable to hide the terror.

It’s not a dream!

Ye Guichen is really alive.

And they have arrived at the Ghost Market.

If Ye Guichen knew he took his Spirit Stone, he definitely wouldn’t spare him.

Though a bit regretful, Fang Tiancheng knew he must avoid Ye Guichen; otherwise, he would suffer worse than death.

With this thought, Fang Tiancheng quickly retreated to the private room.

”How is it? Solved?” Chen Zhi looked at Fang Tiancheng, carefully observing his expression, trying to discern some clue.

Fang Tiancheng lowered his voice: ”That guy Ye Guichen isn’t dead.”

”What!” Chen Zhi and Liu Fang stood up simultaneously: ”What did you say? Not dead? How do you know?”

A flicker of cunning flashed deep in Fang Tiancheng’s eyes, but he soon hid it.

If Ye Guichen is not dead, he took his Spirit Stone and knew he had tons of them, Ye Guichen would undoubtedly have a killing intent towards him.

However, if Chen Zhi and Liu Fang dealt with Ye Guichen, he could escape quickly.

Once he found a breathing space, leaking the news of those Spirit Stones would definitely attract experts to deal with Ye Guichen, including some cultivators.

And if he told the Great Demon King of the Ghost Market, the Great Demon King would surely be tempted.

At that time, even if Ye Guichen is alive, he would have no time to deal with him.

”Yes, let’s do it!”

After deciding on a plan to deal with Ye Guichen, Fang Tiancheng continued in a low voice: ”I saw him when I was in the restroom; he’s actually with Gongyang Lang. But looking at him, it seems like he’s being held by Gongyang Lang. Could Gongyang Lang also know Ye Guichen’s identity?”

Chen Zhi and Liu Fang exchanged a peculiar look and did not speak.

After a while, Chen Zhi asked: ”What do you mean?”

”We all know Gongyang Lang is a cultivator, and many rumors say he has connections with the Great Demon King. If they know Ye Guichen is the Emperor’s son, perhaps their ideas align with King Qin.”

”Holding the Son of Heaven to command the feudal lords?” Chen Zhi and Liu Fang’s pupils slightly contracted: ”Is that Ye Guichen really the Emperor’s son?”

”Exactly!” This time, Fang Tiancheng would naturally not deny it.

As long as Chen Zhi and Liu Fang knew Ye Guichen’s identity, they would find ways to obtain him no matter what.

As for how to deal with Gongyang Lang, that was not his concern.

Fang Tiancheng continued to entice: ”Now Gongyang Lang has actually seized the Emperor’s son, making me feel uneasy, I must quickly return to report this to King Qin. If Gongyang Lang has deep ties with the Great Demon King, could the Ghost Market also want to join the struggle within the Hidden Gate?”

With Fang Tiancheng’s reminder, Chen Zhi and Liu Fang’s belief was somewhat strengthened.

”This matter is indeed significant. Alright, we’ll find ways to contact our people in the Ghost Market and strive to intercept from Gongyang Lang.” Chen Zhi nodded: ”Tiancheng, report quickly for King Qin to decide early. After all, this is the Great Demon King’s territory; we dare not openly act, we can only secretly monitor Ye Guichen and Gongyang Lang, waiting for an opportunity.”

”Alright, then I’ll rely on you!” Seeing Chen Zhi and Liu Fang had taken the bait, Fang Tiancheng clasped his hands and directly jumped out of the window.

Chen Zhi and Liu Fang also knew the seriousness of the matter.

”I’ll keep watch on them, you go back and find people, call King Qin’s experts left in the Ghost Market, remember, don’t alert the enemy.” Chen Zhi instructed Liu Fang.

Liu Fang nodded quickly and also jumped out the window, disappearing into the alley.

Chen Zhi casually walked out of the private room, looking towards Gongyang Lang’s group.

Ye Guichen and his companions had already found a place to sit.

The Ghost Market largely trades in Spirit Stone, but the value of Spirit Stones is too high, for things like dining and lodging one can’t use Spirit Stone.

Luckily, Ye Guichen had brought plenty of gold before coming.

According to the Ghost Market’s exchange rates, one hundred taels of gold is about one lower-grade Spirit Stone.

For ordinary small transactions, gold is mostly used for purchases.

After the three took seats, Ye Guichen asked the restaurant waiter about Fang Tiancheng’s whereabouts.

The waiter obviously had witnessed many such incidents before; hearing Ye Guichen describe Fang Tiancheng, he chuckled: ”Sir, our restaurant has its rules, even if we know who you’re looking for, we wouldn’t disclose their whereabouts.”

Upon hearing this, Gongyang Lang was about to act, but was stopped by Ye Guichen’s single glance.

Ye Guichen took out a piece of gold and placed it in the waiter’s hand: ”The leftover money from dining, it’s yours.”

The waiter immediately beamed: ”Haha, sir, you’re indeed generous, rules are dead, people are alive. I have indeed seen whom you’re looking for; he’s in the second-floor private room.”

”Such a coincidence?” Ye Guichen was genuinely surprised, and looking in the direction pointed by the waiter, he happened to see the sneaky Chen Zhi.
