My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Is this the Gu Liangren?”

Upon seeing the Second Protector wrapped in black threads, Yang Hongfu took a sharp breath: ”Mr. Ye, where did you get this from?”

Ye Guichen, seeing that Yang Hongfu actually recognized this thing, quickly asked, ”Do you know about this thing?”

Yang Hongfu nodded slightly, her face grave, ”In the past, I only knew this thing existed in legends, didn’t expect it to actually exist in reality.”

Then, Yang Hongfu explained to Ye Guichen what she knew about it.

It turned out that this thing was called Gu Liangren, a type of ancient witchcraft incredibly difficult to cultivate. However, once successfully created, each Gu Liangren could rival a grandmaster and, like a puppet, would completely obey the command of its creator.

Even if asked to die, this kind of Gu Liangren wouldn’t even frown.

Hearing this, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but feel secretly shocked and quickly shared what he knew with Yang Hongfu.

After listening, Yang Hongfu pondered, ”It seems that the Hall Master of the Eternal Life Hall is indeed a genius to be able to create the Gu Liangren of the Witch God Sect lost for hundreds of years. However, this Gu Liangren takes forty-nine days to mature and break out of its cocoon. Before that, it should be possible to destroy them.”

At this point, Yang Hongfu looked up at Ye Guichen: ”Mr. Ye, since the enemy has revealed that the Eternal Life Hall is now located at Great Cold Mountain, I will immediately return to report to my master, unite several sects, quickly delve into Great Cold Mountain, and find the location of the Eternal Life Hall to try to wipe them out.”

Ye Guichen agreed, nodding: ”I know Medicine King Valley. Now it seems that Medicine King Valley has had a feud with our Shennong Sect for a long time. Before that, I want to visit Medicine King Valley to reclaim everything Shennong Sect has lost.”

”Alright, we’ll split up. Once we gather information on the situation inside Great Cold Mountain regarding the Eternal Life Hall, I’ll contact you immediately.” Yang Hongfu quickly finalized the next course of action with Ye Guichen.

Originally, Ye Guichen wanted to ask how to deal with this Gu Liangren, but Yang Hongfu seemed very interested in this thing and insisted on taking it back for research.

Ye Guichen wasn’t worried either. With Zhang Chonglou, that old guy, around, even if the Gu Liangren really broke out, it shouldn’t cause any major trouble.

Declining Yang Hongfu’s invitation to visit Qingcheng Mountain, Ye Guichen didn’t linger and planned to first return to Jinling, call on Su Tong or Mai Gu, and head straight to Medicine King Valley.

However, just as Ye Guichen was preparing to leave, Gongsun Zhi suddenly stuck to Ye Guichen like glue, insisting on inviting him to Gongsun Family.

Ye Guichen was baffled: ”Grandpa Gongsun, we’re not that close, are we?”

Gongsun Zhi didn’t mind Ye Guichen’s impoliteness and chuckled, ”You already call me Grandpa Gongsun, so aren’t we close enough? Besides, I’ve heard quite a bit about you from Fengying. I greatly admire you. What, are you afraid I might eat you?”

Thinking about how he might need the support of the Gongsun Family when opening Shennong Hall in Quanzhou, Ye Guichen reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Su Wu was also outside waiting for Ye Guichen, asking if he was interested in attending Su Family to see Su Jiu’er’s engagement ceremony.

Surprised by Su Wu’s sudden friendliness, Ye Guichen had mixed feelings, but since Medicine King Valley was in the southwest and on the way, Ye Guichen agreed casually.

He asked Su Wu to go back first, and he would naturally attend Su Jiu’er’s engagement later.

”Alright, I’ll be waiting for you!” Before Su Wu left, he gave Ye Guichen a meaningful smile, patted his shoulder, and said something inexplicable: ”Captain Ye, I used to have a bias against you, feeling you were just a bit better in martial arts, but being too arrogant isn’t a good thing. Now I take back those words. Although I’m quite satisfied with Jiu’er’s fiancé, I hope more to see Jiu’er marry someone she loves.”

Ye Guichen didn’t quite understand what Su Wu meant, and Su Wu had already left gracefully.

Scratching his head, Ye Guichen couldn’t figure out what Su Wu was up to and chose to let it go.

However, when Feng Wuji heard that Ye Guichen was returning to Jinling and going to Medicine King Valley to stir up trouble, he was incredibly excited and insisted on tagging along.

”Master, this time I’m out to experience life, and Grandpa allowed it. Rest assured, I represent our Feng Family. If anything happens, our Feng Family will step in. Plus, with Uncle Nong around, we fear no demons or ghosts.”

Ye Guichen was speechless, ”Is this how I taught you martial arts? To rely on others? And you have the nerve to say you’ve trained for half a year, and yet you’ve only reached the second-rate level. You’re really embarrassing me.”

Nong Huaji couldn’t listen any longer.

If it weren’t for Ye Guichen displaying awe-inspiring skills that made him apprehensive, Nong Huaji would’ve retorted long ago.

Half a year to reach second-rate level was shameful?

Once upon a time, it took me five years just to barely reach the third-rate level!

You’re really demoralizing.

But thinking about Ye Guichen’s monstrous skills, he couldn’t help glancing at Feng Wuji, who looked at him with admiration, and secretly sighed: ”It seems the saying ’a famous teacher produces outstanding students’ is true. Having a master like Mr. Ye is not only Young Master Feng’s fortune but also our Feng Family’s blessing.”

Reflecting, he felt more at ease with Ye Guichen’s words.

Seeing Feng Wuji’s excitement, Ye Guichen couldn’t bear to refuse.

Moreover, with Feng Wuji accompanying him, it would save him a lot of worry during the journey, so he nodded in agreement: ”Alright, I’ll first visit the Gongsun Family, and once I return, we can go back to Jinling, then to Medicine King Valley together.”

”No problem!” Seeing Ye Guichen’s approval, Feng Wuji was immediately elated.

The remnants of the Eternal Life Hall in Quanzhou would naturally be dealt with by the people of the Heavenly Master Tao, and Ye Guichen didn’t care for it. He got into Gongsun Zhi’s car and headed straight for the Gongsun Family.

According to Gongsun Zhi, Gongsun Fengying had long gone home to prepare.

Though they were injured at Lingquan Villa, it wasn’t life-threatening, and their spirits seemed fine.

While chatting with Gongsun Zhi in the car, they drove to the old town area of Quanzhou.

They took a few turns and entered a quiet lane.

The lane was wide enough for only one car, with maple trees on both sides shading it, resembling a path leading to secluded spots.

At the same time.

Gongsun Family.

A middle-aged man was enthusiastically conversing with someone in front of him.

The middle-aged man wore a Zhongshan suit, with a square face, emitting an aura of authority with every word and gesture.

The person opposite him appeared to be in his early thirties, dressed in casual attire, not smiling, showing no aura, yet not inferior to the man in the Zhongshan suit.

Gongsun Fengying stood beside the two, appearing a bit nervous.

The middle-aged man gestured to Gongsun Fengying: ”Girl, let me introduce you. This is one of Hua Country’s Military God’s twelve great protectors, the present inheritor of the Baji Fist, known as the Baji Master—Huang Fuqi, Mr. Shier.”
