My Silly, Sweet Wife

”It’s bad, it’s bad!”

Just when Ye Guichen was once again lost in his thoughts, the voice of Gongyang Lang rang out.

Gongyang Lang was flustered and completely lacked the demeanor and confidence a Qi Refiner should possess.

”Could it be that those families from Xianju Mountain are preparing to make a move against me?” Ye Guichen returned from his thoughts and gave Gongyang Lang a calm smile.

Upon hearing this, Gongyang Lang was stunned, staring at Ye Guichen in disbelief: ”Mr. Ye, how... how did you know?”

Ever since Ye Guichen came back, he seemed to have been sitting at the Starlit Tower, never having left.

How did he know everything outside as though he had it in the palm of his hand?

”Yes!” Gongyang Lang nodded quickly amidst his shock, ”Mr. Ye, what should we do? The entire Xianju Mountain has spread the news; I believe it won’t be long before someone comes knocking.”

”Heh, don’t be afraid.” Ye Guichen chuckled calmly, ”Since it’s like this, let’s kill one if one comes, kill two if they come as a pair. Take this opportunity; you can hone your skills and perhaps become the Mountain King here.”

Gongyang Lang smiled wryly, ”Mr. Ye, at a time like this, you’re still joking. Many Qi Refiners from those hidden families are sure to be more formidable than the Chen Family. We were lucky to win against the Chen Family earlier, but now surrounded by numerous Qi Refiners, we have no chance of winning.”

Ye Guichen shook his head, ”Gongyang Lang, rest assured, the advantages this time are brought by the Dongfang Family.”

Raising an eyebrow, as if sensing something, Ye Guichen waved his hand, ”We have guests, go and greet them.”

”Guests?” Gongyang Lang’s complexion turned pale. At this time, guests were likely here to challenge Ye Guichen, seeking to kill him, right?

”Understood!” Gongyang Lang didn’t ask much and quickly turned around, rushing towards the gate.

Then, he opened the gate, holding an iron fan, ready to face the approaching enemy.

But looking up, he saw two women approaching quickly not far away.

Apparently, they didn’t expect the gate to open by itself. When Dongfang Yue and Zhu’er arrived, their faces were filled with surprise.

”Is Mr. Ye home?” Zhu’er looked at Gongyang Lang with suspicion and immediately asked.

Gongyang Lang was stunned too.

He stared intently at Dongfang Yue, unexpectedly encountering such a beautiful woman.

After a moment, realizing his impropriety, Gongyang Lang quickly turned his head, yet remained cautious, asking, ”What are you seeking Mr. Ye for?”

Evidently, after being tormented by Hua Xiangrong for a long time, Gongyang Lang’s immunity to women had significantly strengthened.

Most men would probably be drooling over Dongfang Yue’s looks, acting like pigs.

But now, Gongyang Lang remained calm, which was extremely rare.

Dongfang Yue’s beauty could indeed be described as captivating.

However, now was not the time to focus on Gongyang Lang’s demeanor.

Zhu’er hadn’t spoken yet when Dongfang Yue stepped forward, courteously saluting: ”Sir, I am a friend of Mr. Ye. My name is Dongfang Yue. The people from the Dongfang Family intend to move against Mr. Ye. We came to inform him, hoping he leaves Xianju Mountain promptly and finds somewhere to hide.”

”Ah?” Gongyang Lang was a bit confused.

Dongfang Yue?

Isn’t she the most beautiful woman in Xianju Mountain?

Moreover, isn’t Dongfang Yue from the Dongfang Family? Why would she come here to inform Ye Guichen?

Gongyang Lang truly couldn’t understand.

Is the allure of Mr. Ye so great?

That a woman would betray her own family just to come here to inform him?

No, isn’t there some kind of conspiracy at play?

In almost an instant, Gongyang Lang’s mind conjured numerous possibilities.

Finally, he reached a conclusion: it must be a plot by the Dongfang Family.

However, no matter how much he pondered, Gongyang Lang didn’t know what the Dongfang Family’s conspiracy was.

After all, sending their most dazzling member, Dongfang Yue, to the lion’s den, while executing other plots seems a bit too much like throwing her in the tiger’s mouth, doesn’t it?

”Sir, could you help inform us? This is truly urgent!” Seeing Gongyang Lang maintaining his silence, Dongfang Yue furrowed her brows, looking anxious.

”Ah? Oh.” Gongyang Lang snapped back to reality but had no intention of letting them in. ”Sorry, I need to speak to Mr. Ye first. As for both of you, please wait here for a moment.”

With that, he turned around and ran again.

”Hmph, so rude!” Zhu’er grumbled, feeling displeased.

Her young mistress being so devoted to Ye Guichen, even at the cost of betraying the Dongfang Family to deliver news, yet left outside.

Simply outrageous.

Dongfang Yue looked at the cold gate, clearly not expecting to be repeatedly refused as such a beauty.

Having been rejected by Ye Guichen before was acceptable, but now it seemed even Ye Guichen’s subordinates had rejected her, showing no intention of letting her in.

Could it be both Ye Guichen and his subordinates are immune to beautiful women?

Though feeling a bit suffocated inside, Dongfang Yue still obediently waited outside to leave a good impression on Ye Guichen.

”Mr. Ye, I suspect the Dongfang Family is trying to use the beauty trap, first bewildering your mind, then using other families in Xianju Mountain to kill you!”

”At that time, once others see Dongfang Yue here, they will surely be enraged, vowing not to stop until you’re dead.”

Seeing Ye Guichen, Gongyang Lang seemed to have thought of Dongfang Yue’s intention in coming.

It must be a beauty trap.

Ye Guichen didn’t expect Gongyang Lang to think so much, feeling a bit speechless.

You’re quite the drama king!

”Gongyang Lang, Dongfang Yue is genuinely here to deliver information; you can let them in. As for others, if they dare to break through the gate, we won’t be courteous!”

After Ye Guichen finished speaking, he leapt from the Starlit Tower.

”Mr. Ye...” Gongyang Lang was startled.

The Starlit Tower was at least a hundred meters high; jumping directly from it could lead to tragedy, couldn’t it?

Gongyang Lang shouted while quickly looking down from the edge.

Ye Guichen landed easily on the ground, unharmed.

Gongyang Lang took a sharp breath: ”He seems to have gotten even stronger!”

Although following Ye Guichen, Ye Guichen grew stronger, logically, Gongyang Lang should be happier.

Yet, for some reason, Gongyang Lang couldn’t be happy.

There was no way around it; following a genius, Gongyang Lang originally felt he was a genius too. But now, he felt like a failure.

A complete failure.

”Ah, such pressure!”

Gongyang Lang quickly descended from the Starlit Tower, opened the gate, and let Dongfang Yue and Zhu’er in.

Ye Guichen headed for the Chen Family Mansion.

The giant tree gave him the token with the power to observe Xianju Mountain, but that was just one aspect.

The most important thing is controlling the great array of Xianju Mountain.

Once the token is fully refined, he can easily control the great array of Xianju Mountain.

But right now, Ye Guichen hasn’t even mastered the array outside the Chen Family.

With the Xianju Mountain families attacking him this time, Ye Guichen wants to test the array’s power.

Previously, these great arrays in Xianju Mountain served primarily for defense, not actively attacking anyone. Their greatest role was confusing outsiders, preventing easy entry into Xianju Mountain.

Upon acquiring the token, Ye Guichen understood the array’s true purpose—it was to kill enemies.
