My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Oh, what a pity,” Ye Guichen sighed softly. After washing up, Nolan Qingqing was already knocking on the door outside, ”Ye, Master asked me to inform you that the Sixth Elder wants to see you.”

”Coming!” Ye Guichen replied, opening the door and seeing Nolan Qingqing wearing a green outfit today.

Elegant, exuding a sense of lightness.

Nolan Qingqing’s face also carried a smile, looking very happy.

”Senior Sister Nolan, you look really beautiful today!” Ye Guichen said sincerely.

”Hmph, one moment I’m Senior Sister Nolan, the next I’m Senior Sister Qingqing, are you saying I wasn’t pretty yesterday?” Nolan Qingqing pouted, acting coquettishly.

Ye Guichen hurriedly chuckled, ”No, no, Senior Sister Qingqing is always beautiful every day.”

”Alright, stop sweet-talking me and hurry up and follow me!” Nolan Qingqing led the way, guiding Ye Guichen to a side hall halfway up the mountain.

The side hall wasn’t very large, just about a hundred square meters.

But the structure was extremely grand, built halfway up the mountain out of solid hard stone.

Each stone was at least one square meter.

There were even two enormous stone lions in front of the door.

Each must weigh at least a dozen tons.

Ye Guichen even wondered how they managed to move the stone lions up such a high mountain.

This side hall was called Breeze Hall.

There were already quite a few people seated in the hall at this time.

An elder with half-white hair and beard sat at the main seat.

The elder wore a dark robe, with a five-petal flower embroidered prominently on his chest.

Just one glance, and Ye Guichen could roughly gauge the elder’s cultivation level, around Qi Cultivation Level Four, quite strong.

Beside the elder stood the woman named Chang Lan who welcomed him yesterday.

Ren Wobai was also beside the elder.

Aside from them, there were many others in the hall.

All those people wore black armor, wielding long knives, looking fierce and menacing.

”Senior Sister Qingqing, who are those people?” Ye Guichen asked.

”Hmph, of course, they are King Qin’s Envoys,” Nolan Qingqing frowned: ”They intend to annex our Dan God Sect, but the Sect Master won’t agree, so they have to have the Sixth Elder mediate. Every time it’s the same result, in the end, they challenge us, and we have to send people from the Law Enforcement Hall to face them, suffering heavy losses and having to compensate with a large amount of elixirs.”

”At first, we could barely accept it, King Qin’s Envoys being overbearing but sparing our Law Enforcement Hall’s lives, but since last time, they’ve started killing. Our Dan God Sect is furious but powerless against them.”

”They are King Qin’s Envoys, we dare not kill them, or we’d anger King Qin and give him a chance to attack our Dan God Sect, plunging us into even greater misery.”

”Does the Sect Master just allow them to act so arrogantly?” Ye Guichen couldn’t believe that the prestigious Dan God Sect was so weak that even King Qin’s Envoys couldn’t be dealt with.

Nolan Qingqing shook her head and sighed: ”The Sect Master wants to resist, but seems to be at a critical breakthrough moment. I’ve heard that if he succeeds, he could become a Qi Refinement Level Eight expert. Then, we’d at least have some defense, but until then, if we give King Qin an opportunity, all would be lost, so the Sect Master’s order is to endure. At worst, we exchange elixirs for temporary peace.”

Ye Guichen was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

He followed Nolan Qingqing into Breeze Hall.

Ren Wobai looked at the King Qin’s Envoys and said, ”Esteemed King Qin’s Envoys, we’ve just recruited new disciples from the Four Great Dan Sects. We have matters to discuss here; could you give us some time to handle our sect’s internal affairs before we discuss King Qin’s proposal?”

”Yes, esteemed King Qin’s Envoys, I’ll arrange accommodations for you first,” Chang Lan also hurriedly added.

Clearly, they intended to buy time.

Using the new disciples as an excuse to stall.

Ye Guichen was speechless.

For a sect to reach this point, it would be better to slam their heads into tofu and end it all.

Unexpectedly, the King Qin’s Envoys had no intention of giving face to the Dan God Sect.

They didn’t move and continued sitting arrogantly, sneering, ”Elder Lei Long, we’ve known each other for a long time, no need to stall. Since you want to see new disciples, so be it. Afterward, we’ll continue discussing King Qin’s proposal, but I want to remind you that if you don’t give a clear response to King Qin this time, we can’t assure he won’t be angered.”

In the center, the elder known as Elder Lei Long lightly trembled his beard: ”Honorable gentlemen, we are discussing sect affairs here; it’s inconvenient for outsiders!”

”Ha, why the inconvenience? Once your Dan God Sect submits to King Qin, we’ll be colleagues, so this is just an early adaptation,” the King Qin’s Envoy showed no signs of concession.

It was as if they were pressing Dan God Sect’s face into the ground, rubbing and rubbing, continuously rubbing.

The face was nearly rubbed swollen, yet no one from Dan God Sect dared to speak up.

Ren Wobai’s mouth twitched, but in front of Ye Guichen, he couldn’t vent.

Remembering Ye Guichen’s sword defeat of Bai Qi, he smiled with newfound hope, quickly addressing one of King Qin’s Envoys: ”Mr. Helian, our newly recruited disciple isn’t weak in martial arts. Perhaps he could exchange a few moves with you for entertainment?”

This statement caused an uproar.

King Qin’s Envoys hadn’t expected the Dan God Sect to dare challenge them, let alone with a new disciple.

Did they feel the Law Enforcement Hall’s members were too valuable, unwilling to risk them, and just casually sent someone to die?

”Deacon Ren, do you think you can just pull anyone off the street to challenge us?” Helian Yun sneered: ”If you’re going to challenge, it should be someone from the Dan God Sect. He’s just a new disciple, not even formally recognized, and dares to challenge me? Haha, I could kill him with one finger!”

Ren Wobai awkwardly smiled, ”Mr. Helian, do you agree or not?”

The question had undertones of provocation.

Everyone was shocked by this.

Even Elder Lei Long suspiciously glanced at Ren Wobai, feeling he was acting strangely today.

How could Ren Wobai seemingly transform after a visit to Penglai?

The pill formula he submitted yesterday was indeed precious; after discussion, several elders decided to reward Ren Wobai by promoting him to Eighth Elder.

But implementation awaited the Sect Master’s nod after emerging from seclusion.

Almost all seven elders had approved, so Ren Wobai’s position as Eighth Elder was practically secure.

Yet without officially being Eighth Elder, he already seemed to be overstepping his boundaries.

”Deacon Ren, pay attention to your identity, how can you talk to King Qin’s Envoy like that!” Elder Lei Long reprimanded sternly, clearly expressing disapproval.

To Elder Lei Long, Ren Wobai seemed conceited.

Daring to confront King Qin’s Envoy and sending a new disciple to face them.

Doesn’t a new disciple’s life count?

Not only Elder Lei Long, but the others thought the same.

Chang Lan furrowed her brows, ”Brother Ren, are you alright?”
