My Silly, Sweet Wife

”What else can we do? Of course, we burn the bodies and destroy the evidence. If King Qin’s men come asking, we’ll just say the King Qin’s Envoy has already left. They won’t find evidence in a short time. Are they really going to act against our Dan God Sect?”

Ye Guichen was somewhat speechless.

Even as an elder of the Dan God Sect, Elder Lei was now showing such a clueless appearance.

Hearing Ye Guichen’s words, Lei Long’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, all know the terror of the King Qin’s Envoy.

There aren’t many in the entire Dan God Sect who could kill the King Qin’s Envoy, you can count them on one hand.

And these people would never dare to touch the King Qin’s Envoy.

As long as we don’t get caught by King Qin’s men, they won’t find any evidence.

”Alright, I understand now.” Lei Long looked deeply at Ye Guichen: ”Ye Sheng, can I tell your identity to the other elders?”

Ye Guichen pondered for a moment, then gently nodded: ”If they can be trusted, then yes.”

”Good!” Lei Long exchanged a glance with Ren Wobai: ”Let’s take these bodies directly to the pill furnace and incinerate them. Not even ashes will remain, but it has to be silent, not even others in our sect should see it.”

”Of course, of course.” Ren Wobai was delighted with the situation and quickly stepped forward to ransack the belongings of the King Qin’s Envoy.

Ye Guichen then left the side hall, seeing Chang Lan and Nolan Qingqing waiting anxiously outside.

Seeing Ye Guichen emerge, Nolan Qingqing quickly approached: ”Ye, are you alright?”

Ye Guichen smiled: ”I’m fine. Today, just pretend you didn’t see anything. Remember, the King Qin’s Envoy has already left the Dan God Sect. Whether something happened to them or not, we don’t know.”

Hearing this, Chang Lan immediately nodded.

Nolan Qingqing appeared puzzled: ”Ye, why? The King Qin’s Envoy clearly...”

”Qingqing!” Chang Lan flicked Nolan Qingqing’s forehead: ”How is your brain working? You can’t even lie, you should learn more from Ye Sheng in the future.”

Nolan Qingqing pouted: ”Ye Sheng is my junior, what do I need to learn from him?”

”Just learn when you’re told to!” Chang Lan was utterly speechless with his little disciple, gave Nolan Qingqing a sidelong glance, instructed them to leave, and slipped into the side hall himself.

”Come on, I’ll take you to learn swordsmanship!” Ye Guichen smiled and turned to walk toward the mountainside.

Arriving at a secluded spot at the foot of the mountain, Ye Guichen took out his Immortal Slayer Sword: ”Today I’ll teach you a set of Golden Snake Swordsmanship, specifically for your little Golden Snake Sword.”

Nolan Qingqing, like a diligent student, tightly gripped the Golden Snake Sword in her hand, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ye Guichen: ”Okay!”

”Then call me Master first.” Ye Guichen teased.

Nolan Qingqing blushed, softly saying: ”Master.”

”Haha, good disciple!” Ye Guichen laughed heartily, causing Nolan Qingqing’s face to turn even redder: ”Ye, you’re bullying me too much. If you keep this up, I won’t learn.”

”Alright, alright, let’s start learning now.” Ye Guichen hadn’t expected Nolan Qingqing to be so naive, actually calling him Master just because he asked.

However, since we killed the King Qin’s Envoy, we can delay things for a while.

But it won’t take long for King Qin to learn the news.

By then, he might send experts, or even an army, to besiege us with forceful measures against the Dan God Sect.

At that time, no one would be able to look after Nolan Qingqing.

Though they had just met, Ye Guichen had a good impression of Nolan Qingqing and didn’t want her caught up in unnecessary conflict, or lose her life because of it.

This set of Golden Snake Swordsmanship was something Ye Guichen had pondered over for an entire night, specifically crafted for Nolan Qingqing.

Although not exquisite, with Nolan Qingqing’s current cultivation, she wouldn’t be completely defenseless against a Qi Refiner, and might even be able to kill one.

Because Ye Guichen had incorporated the Divine Movement Technique into the Golden Snake Sword, allowing the swordsmanship to be faster and quicker.

If used properly, it might even enable an Innate Realm expert to slay a Qi Refiner.

With that thought, Ye Guichen no longer hesitated and began demonstrating the Golden Snake Swordsmanship to Nolan Qingqing.

”Golden Snake Strikes!”

Ye Guichen executed a move that resembled a snake spitting out its tongue, with the wind blowing fiercely around, directly slicing a tree in half, making Nolan Qingqing clap her hands in delight.

Nolan Qingqing, although not a genius in Alchemy, is indeed a prodigy in sword practice.

In just one day’s time, Nolan Qingqing had grasped the Golden Snake Swordsmanship nearly fully, her movements strikingly similar. Though lacking the strong power of Ye Guichen, she was already creating gusts of wind.

With a bit more practice, she should be able to defeat her enemies.

”How is my swordsmanship?” Nolan Qingqing was sweating profusely, her clothes sticking to her body, revealing her delicate figure.

Ye Guichen was startled to find that Nolan Qingqing, who had previously worn a long robe concealing her slender waist, indeed had a waist that seemed to fit easily within one hand.

A water snake’s waist!

Nolan Qingqing truly had the waist of a water snake.

Moreover, with each swing of her sword, she seemed to move like a dancing snake, with each strike carrying an extra bit of aesthetic appeal, looking far better than the rough motions of Ye Guichen.

”Heavens, this Golden Snake Swordsmanship is perfect for her!” Ye Guichen sighed inwardly, finding inexplicable enjoyment in watching Nolan Qingqing’s sword dance.

Until sunset, with the afterglow spreading, the two sat closely on a large rock, watching as the sun set behind the clouds, only the clouds appeared in the sky.

Nolan Qingqing rested her cheek in her hand, mumbling: ”I’ve been with the Dan God Sect for so many years and never really watched the sunset. I didn’t realize it was so beautiful.”

Saying this, Nolan Qingqing stole a glance at Ye Guichen, ”Ye, I didn’t expect you to know so much and have the power to kill the King Qin’s Envoy. Why do I find myself understanding you less and less?”

Ye Guichen smiled as he gazed at the evening glow in the sky: ”Why do you want to understand me? I’m just an ordinary person with love and hate, with feelings and grudges. I treat those well who treat me well, and how could I sit idly by if someone wants to harm me? Haha, in truth, I live a simple life, distinguishing clearly between kindness and resentment, without any plots or intrigues. Moreover, you don’t have to try and understand me, for if one day you truly do, perhaps it would be no fun anymore.”

Nolan Qingqing looked at Ye Guichen’s profile and felt inexplicably flustered, whispering to herself quietly, only for her ears to hear: ”But why do I want to understand you so much?”

Time flew by.

Eventually, Ye Guichen officially became a new disciple of the sect.

Only then did Ye Guichen learn that although the Dan God Sect had declined, it was still a major sect in the Alchemy Dao, and every year there were many new disciples joining. In his batch alone, besides himself, there were over a hundred others.

But unlike others, Ye Guichen didn’t go through the typical experience for new disciples; instead, he was assigned his own cave mansion specifically for Alchemy.

The treatment he received couldn’t even be matched by seven elders, despite being higher or not less.
