My Silly, Sweet Wife

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became bizarre.

No one dared to make a sound.

Liu Xinyi seemed completely unafraid, blinking and staring at Ye Guichen.

At this moment, Ye Guichen’s image in her heart infinitely magnified.

No one knows what she was thinking, but her originally panicked face now had a hint of blush.

”I said, you’re not my opponent!” Ye Guichen glanced at Zuo Zongsheng nonchalantly and walked straight towards Liu Xinyi.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Zongsheng almost spat blood again out of anger.

Ignoring Zuo Zongsheng’s frustration, Ye Guichen had already arrived in front of Liu Xinyi, extending his hand: ”Let’s go.”

Ye Guichen had already learned the whole story from Lv Liang and knew that Liu Xinyi was indeed just a simple girl, thus he no longer bore any grudge against her.

Liu Xinyi looked at Ye Guichen’s large hand, nodded blankly, and reached out to touch his hand. At that moment, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Ye Guichen naturally didn’t notice Liu Xinyi’s abnormality and asked concernedly: ”Can you walk?”

”Yes.” Liu Xinyi hastily nodded, her voice soft and sweet.

At this time, more chaotic footsteps sounded from outside.

Zuo Zongsheng’s subordinates outside appeared panicked, they quickly divided into two sides, bowing their heads, as if facing a great enemy.

Feng Tianhai seemed to sense the abnormality too, turning his head to look outside.

Upon seeing, his face instantly changed.

”Chairman?”

While speaking, a burly old man was already striding inside.

Wearing traditional Chinese clothes, he was about six feet tall, appearing to be in his sixties or seventies, yet without the slightest hunch.

Moreover, those eyes, when looking over everyone, were like a king surveying his domain.

There weren’t many people following him, just one person.

That person appeared to be in his fifties, but just standing there he exuded an inexplicable pressure, suffocating anyone.

”Chairman!”

”Chairman!”

”Chairman!”

Almost everyone immediately lowered their heads, calling out respectfully.

Zuo Chunqiu didn’t pay attention to the crowd; he first surveyed the room, noticing Zuo Zongsheng, seeing one of his eyes blind, looking utterly miserable, his eyes squinted slightly, then fixed his gaze on Ye Guichen.

”So, you are Ye Guichen?”

Ye Guichen had been observing Zuo Chunqiu since he entered.

Just a glance, and Ye Guichen felt the other was like Wang Xiao, a hero.

Moreover, it’s highly likely he has one foot already in the Innate Realm.

Looking at that aura, it’s definitely not a pretense.

His high position naturally lends authority.

After Liu Xinyi stood up, she saw Zuo Chunqiu for just a moment and was so frightened that she shrunk behind Ye Guichen, hugging his arm tightly like a scared kitten, evidently oppressed by Zuo Chunqiu’s aura.

Ye Guichen lightly nodded and answered politely: ”That’s right.”

”Haha, truly a young hero!” Seeing Ye Guichen’s calm demeanor, Zuo Chunqiu didn’t get angry, but instead laughed: ”I heard someone had stirred up Guanghan Palace, wondering who it was. These days, your name has been thunderous in my ears.”

Ye Guichen did not argue, instead humbly replied: ”Chairman Zuo overpraises.”

”Father, help me kill this kid!” After a brief disorientation, Zuo Zongsheng, seeing Zuo Chunqiu now, finally gathered himself, crawled up staggeringly, ran to Zuo Chunqiu, and began to complain grievously.

Zuo Chunqiu’s face darkened, he merely glanced at Zuo Zongsheng, scaring him into silence.

”Hmph, lacking the capability and still daring to ask others for revenge?” Zuo Chunqiu waved his hand, scolding: ”Take the Young Master back, nurse him well, and do not let him come out during this period.”

Zuo Zongsheng froze: ”Father, what do you mean? Are you afraid of this kid?”

Zuo Chunqiu didn’t answer Zuo Zongsheng, simply waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward dragging Zuo Zongsheng away.

Ye Guichen was somewhat astonished.

This Zuo Chunqiu’s demeanor was extraordinary, not immediately causing trouble, but rather taking Zuo Zongsheng away.

”Haha, Chairman Zuo understands justice, I, Ye, admire you.” Ye Guichen cupped his hands as he spoke.

Zuo Chunqiu waved and looked at Lv Liang lying on the ground: ”I’ve roughly heard the course of events. It seems my misunderstanding towards Mr. Ye was unwarranted. Since so, as Zuo Chunqiu, I naturally owe Mr. Ye an explanation.”

Following his words, the middle-aged man beside Zuo Chunqiu stepped forward, grabbed Lv Liang.

Lv Liang was already scared stiff.

Especially seeing Zuo Zongsheng being taken away, he trembled uncontrollably, incessantly begging for mercy.

”Our chairman understands justice, loathes people like you who falsely accuse others, and is just a lapdog. People like you living is merely wasted food.”

While speaking, the middle-aged man struck Lv Liang’s head with a palm.

With a cracking sound, Lv Liang couldn’t even scream before dying on the spot.

Then, the middle-aged man casually threw the corpse to the door: ”Take this body to the Zeng Family and let him be buried alongside Zeng Chang.”

Someone stepped forward to lift Lv Liang’s body and carried it away.

Liu Xinyi, seeing the ease of the killing, strongly resisted the urge to vomit, closed her eyes, covered her mouth, hiding tightly behind Ye Guichen, not daring to look.

Ye Guichen couldn’t fathom Zuo Chunqiu’s intentions momentarily. Unfamiliar with the Martial Arts Association’s chairman, seeing him command someone to kill Lv Liang, he smiled and said: ”Chairman Zuo, since the matter here is settled, I’ll be leaving.”

Ye Guichen didn’t wish to entangle with such people too much, regardless of whether he is truly upright or just acting for others; Ye Guichen had no interest.

”Mr. Ye, no need to hurry.” Zuo Chunqiu spoke.

Ye Guichen turned his head: ”So, does Chairman Zuo intend to stop me?”

”Haha, why would Mr. Ye say that? Previously, my misunderstanding towards Mr. Ye was my fault. Today, my son had his eye destroyed due to his own actions, these matters have nothing to do with Mr. Ye. However, I, Zuo Chunqiu, admire talents. If not for Zeng Chang’s death, I might not have had the chance to meet Mr. Ye in this lifetime. We can be considered as knowing each other through a fight. To express my apologies, I wish to invite Mr. Ye to join our Martial Arts Association and become a Guest Elder of the Jinling Martial Arts Association. What does Mr. Ye think?”

Ye Guichen frowned: ”Guest Elder?”

”Yes, Guest Elder, entitled to the resources of our Martial Arts Association, without being bound by the Association, along with an annual salary of one million.” Zuo Chunqiu explained.

Ye Guichen showed interest: ”Is it such a good deal?”

”Haha, of course. If our Martial Arts Association faces trouble, we might need Mr. Ye’s assistance. But to be honest, our association rarely encounters major issues, mostly minor troubles, so generally, Mr. Ye won’t need to act.” Zuo Chunqiu replied confidently.

Despite Zuo Chunqiu’s sudden goodwill, Ye Guichen was uncertain of his intentions and reluctant to agree hastily.

However, becoming a Guest Elder could benefit his future endeavors in Jinling.

After pondering, Ye Guichen didn’t immediately agree, nodding: ”Chairman Zuo, let me consider it.”

”Of course.” Zuo Chunqiu didn’t press: ”Tonight, I’ll await Mr. Ye’s presence at the Emperor suite in Guanghan Palace. By then, I’ll introduce the senior members of the Martial Arts Association to Mr. Ye. If agreeable, please be here at eight o’clock promptly.”

”Let’s talk later.” Ye Guichen waved his hand, not engaging further with Zuo Chunqiu, and left with Liu Xinyi.

Watching Liu Xinyi’s back, Zuo Chunqiu’s smile slowly faded.

The middle-aged man beside him asked puzzled: ”Chairman, is it necessary to favor this young man?”
