My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ye Guichen retorted, ”There’s a saying that curiosity killed the cat. You’re curious about what happened to the Dongfang Family. If they’re really going to White Mist Valley, will you follow them in?”

Chu Liuxiang immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, ”Brother Ye, are you kidding me? I’d only go there if I wanted to die. I absolutely won’t enter White Mist Valley in this lifetime.”

”Hehe.” Ye Guichen only smiled and didn’t say anything more.

However, the more they followed the Dongfang Family’s group, the more serious Chu Liuxiang’s expression became.

Finally, Chu Liuxiang’s face dropped, ”Brother Ye, there’s a real possibility they might be going to White Mist Valley. My God, this road leads directly to White Mist Valley. Could it be that the Dongfang Family discovered some treasure in White Mist Valley, or is there an important person inside who needs rescuing?”

Chu Liuxiang had guessed a few things correctly.

At this moment, chaos reigned within the Dongfang Family.

In the council hall.

The Dongfang Family’s Clan Leader, Dongfang Ming, was seated at the head position.

Below were the key figures of the Dongfang Family.

”This is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!”

Dongfang Ming shouted while glaring angrily at the people below, ”You all know Yue’er is reckless and has been planning to venture into White Mist Valley for a long time, so why didn’t you keep watch over her?”

”Now that she’s entered, how are we supposed to find her in such a vast White Mist Valley?”

The elders of the Dongfang Family all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Dongfang Hong was among them, ”Clan Leader, our first search party has already gone out, and I believe Yue’er loves adventure but wouldn’t rashly go too deep. As long as she doesn’t go too far, there shouldn’t be any danger, right?”

”No danger?” Dongfang Ming snorted, ”We have groomed Yue’er for so long to one day raise the Dongfang Family to a higher level. If Yue’er really gets in danger, everyone will be punished!”

Then, his gaze fell on Dongfang Cheng, ”Have those suitors been sent away?”

Dongfang Cheng quickly nodded, ”Clan Leader, thirteen suitors, seven died, and only six remain. This time that Ye Guichen and Yan Liang from the Yan Family performed particularly well.”

”Ye Guichen?” Dongfang Ming looked at Dongfang Hong, ”Isn’t that the young man you brought back from the Chen Family?”

Dongfang Hong nodded quickly, ”That’s right, the Chen Family was actually wiped out by him. Haha, this young man does have some skills, and I’ve also noticed his sword, which is indeed impressive, maybe even a Spiritual Artifact as rumored.”

”Spiritual Artifact?” Everyone’s breath quickened at the mention.

Spiritual Artifacts are extremely rare and valuable beyond measure.

That a mere Ye Guichen would possess a Spiritual Artifact was indeed unbelievable.

Greed flashed in Dongfang Ming’s eyes but quickly faded, ”Where are they now?”

Dongfang Cheng promptly replied, ”They were curious about what happened to our Dongfang Family and discreetly followed behind our first search party.”

”Good, don’t disturb them. Whether it’s Ye Guichen or Yan Liang, if they dare enter White Mist Valley, it’s a kind of test. Haha, I’m curious about this young man called Ye Guichen now, and if that sword really is a Spiritual Artifact, his value might be on par with the Yan Family.”

Dongfang Hong also nodded in agreement, ”Indeed, Clan Leader, if that sword really is a Spiritual Artifact, whoever passed it to him or however he got it, deserves our attention. That’s why when facing Chen Tianhe, I didn’t act rashly or roughly with Ye Guichen; I just wanted to test him a bit. His confidence from start to finish suggests he didn’t regard our Dongfang Family at all, and now I suspect he might actually have some powerful figure backing him.”

”Alright, Dongfang Hong and Dongfang Cheng, both of you immediately go to White Mist Valley and bring Yue’er back no matter what. Also, keep an eye on Ye Guichen. If he doesn’t want to enter White Mist Valley, find a way to make him go.” Dongfang Ming issued the order directly.

Dongfang Hong and Dongfang Cheng exchanged glances and nodded.

Once in White Mist Valley, they would have a chance to get that Immortal Slayer Sword.

Moreover, they could probe the depth of Ye Guichen’s background.

Of course, if Ye Guichen remained clueless, dying in White Mist Valley meant no one would be accountable to them.

It was a strategy with dual benefits.

Dongfang Hong and Dongfang Cheng swiftly departed, racing toward the direction of White Mist Valley.

Their speed rivaled that of a car.

At the edge of White Mist Valley.

The Dongfang Family’s search party of over a dozen people had already stopped.

Leading them was a middle-aged man in his forties.

The middle-aged man had a steel sword strapped to his waist.

The sword had an exceptionally thick blade, suggesting considerable weight.

After halting, he glanced behind him and spoke loudly, ”You’ve followed all this way, come out.”

Yan Liang revealed himself, bowing to the middle-aged man, ”Senior Feng, this young man Yan Liang bears no malice and only wishes to lend a hand.”

Ye Guichen and Chu Liuxiang also came forward.

However, the two did not speak.

The middle-aged man named Dongfang Feng smirked, ”Hehe, ahead lies White Mist Valley. Do you know what’s happening with our Dongfang Family? You talk about wanting to help.”

Yan Liang replied earnestly, ”Senior Feng, though this young man doesn’t know exactly what happened, he can guess somewhat. This matter likely involves Lady Dongfang Yue, right?”

Dongfang Feng regarded Yan Liang with interest, ”At your age, becoming a Qi Refiner is quite impressive. If Lady Yue’er remains safe, you might well be worthy of her. Haha, since you asked, I don’t mind telling you. Lady Yue’er ended up in White Mist Valley by mistake, and we’re here to bring her out. If you’re truly sincere about Lady Yue’er, you can go in search of her. If you really can bring Lady Yue’er out, there might be no need for future evaluations.”

Although Dongfang Feng didn’t state it outright, the meaning in his words was crystal clear.

With Dongfang Yue trapped in White Mist Valley, Yan Liang rescuing her could well play out as a hero saving the damsel, thereby endearing Yue’er to Yan Liang.

This match would naturally be made.

Yan Liang rejoiced upon hearing this and understood Dongfang Feng’s insinuation, promptly bowing, ”Thank you, Senior Feng, for your guidance. If I can marry Yue’er, you will be my benefactor!”

Dongfang Feng waved his hand, ”I have some ties with your Yan Family and I’m extending a goodwill gesture. How much you can accomplish is up to you. Naturally, I hope today’s events won’t spread. If our Dongfang Family finds anyone talking too much, haha, you know the consequences.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Guichen and Chu Liuxiang.

The warning was evident.
