My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Who are you?”

At that moment, a male voice rang out.

Ye Guichen looked up and saw a person floating in the air.

The person was wearing snow-white robes, holding a folded fan in his left hand, with his right hand behind his back, looking down at Ye Guichen from above.

He did not directly confront Ye Guichen like the immortals Ye Guichen had encountered before, but first questioned him.

Because, although he did not recognize Ye Guichen, he sensed that Ye Guichen had the aura of an immortal, was indeed an immortal.

Perhaps someone from his own sect, just unfamiliar.

The people around Ye Guichen heard the voice and looked at Ye Guichen nervously.

Xie Biwen lowered his head quickly, showing a frightened look.

If they finally escaped the demon’s den and their mainstay were to get into trouble, they feared none of them would survive.

Ye Guichen glanced at the white-robed immortal, moved his body, and flew to face him.

He cupped his hands in front of the white-robed immortal and said, ”My name is Ye Guichen.”

The white-robed immortal frowned, ”Are you from the Du Xian Sect?”

Clearly, Du Xian Sect was the sect of the white-robed immortal, and the sect participating in the trial.

Ye Guichen shook his head, ”I’m not from Du Xian Sect, according to your terms, I’m just a rogue cultivator.”

Then he pointed to the people on his floating city, ”These people were rescued by me after killing someone from Du Xian Sect.”

The white-robed immortal was startled upon hearing this, then quickly retreated dozens of meters, looking at Ye Guichen with vigilance, ”You killed our Du Xian Sect member?”

He could not imagine that the guy in front of him, who seemed only to be at Earth Immortal level three, could brazenly admit to killing someone from Du Xian Sect.

After retreating to a safe distance, the white-robed immortal felt slightly more secure but still didn’t strike, ”Looking at your cultivation, only at Earth Immortal level three, yet you can easily kill our Du Xian Sect disciples, it seems you have some skills. Since that’s the case, would you be willing to join my ranks?”

Recruitment?

Now it was Ye Guichen’s turn to be stunned.

He originally thought the other party would fly into a rage after hearing his words and then avenge his fellow sect member.

At that time, Ye Guichen even wanted to experience the thrill of wiping out several immortals in one stroke.

However, judging by the other party’s attitude, it seemed he didn’t intend to strike.

Seeing Ye Guichen’s doubtful expression, the white-robed immortal cupped his hands again, ”Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Yuan Qing, I am a disciple of Wanfeng Mountain in the Du Xian Sect.”

He pointed to several cultivators on the floating cities, ”They are all my junior brothers. Although we came here for a hunt, everyone knows it’s actually a test for the various peaks of our Du Xian Sect. Haha, since Brother you could kill our Du Xian Sect member, you must have some means. If you follow me in the future, I can guarantee you won’t be a rogue cultivator anymore but a true Earth Immortal.”

Ye Guichen understood upon hearing this.

The other party not only wanted to recruit him but was also promising benefits.

Generally, a rogue cultivator receiving a title to become an Earth Immortal would be absolutely thrilled.

This is a rare opportunity.

But Ye Guichen was not dazzled.

He looked doubtful and spoke frankly, ”I killed your Du Xian Sect member, not only do you not avenge your fellow sect member, but you want to recruit me, haha, if other people from Du Xian Sect find out, how can you protect me?”

”Haha, so you don’t trust me!” The cultivator calling himself Yuan Qing laughed, ”Don’t worry, our cultivators’ lifespans are much longer than cultivators of truth. For this reason, the emotions between us are not as pure and deep as those of humans. In our cultivators’ eyes, so-called emotions are just a kind of shackle on the path to immortality. What we must do is be unfeeling, only without emotion can we truly walk the great path of immortality. Otherwise, someday you might be killed and become someone else’s stepping stone to ascend to immortality.”

”Under the heavens, there’s no one you can truly trust except yourself, not even an immortal companion.”

”So, Brother Ye, rest assured, in our Du Xian Sect it’s the survival of the fittest. As long as you are willing to rely on me and serve me in the future, not only will no one pursue the matter of you killing our sect members, but I’ll also help you become a true Earth Immortal. By then, your cultivation resources will definitely be much better than now.”

Yuan Qing spoke persuasively, with a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

Ye Guichen narrowed his eyes, ”Then if you’re offering me so many benefits, apart from wanting me to follow you, is there anything else you require?”

”Haha, I can see you’re a smart person.” Yuan Qing laughed heartily and glanced at the immortals on Ye Guichen’s floating city, ”This time Du Xian Sect has stipulated that those who capture the most from the Demon Clan and cultivators will be eligible to receive more cultivation resources, and even an immortal pill, the True Essence Pill personally refined by the Sect Leader. With the True Essence Pill, entering the True Immortal Realm is naturally within reach. So, my requirement is simple; as long as you follow me, the people on the floating city and the Demon Clan, are your pledge of allegiance. Give them all to me, and when you enter Du Xian Sect, you’ll be like my brother, and after I become a True Immortal, no one will bully you.”

So that’s how it is.

Ye Guichen understood.

It seems that after hearing he killed a cultivator, Yuan Qing didn’t want to fight him, instead trying to persuade him to hand over those cultivators and Demon Clan members on his floating city.

And what he was offering Ye Guichen were nothing but empty promises.
