My Silly, Sweet Wife

This time, the harvest in Medicine King Valley was extremely rich.

Whether it was that strange stick or the spherical object like an egg, Ye Guichen felt that neither was simple.

Next, Ye Guichen did not wander around but spent a night in Medicine King Valley.

At dawn the next day, after explaining the matters in Medicine King Valley, he planned to go to the Su Family to attend Su Jiu’er’s engagement ceremony.

Long Yuntai persistently wanted to follow Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen, unable to bear it, seeing that he couldn’t drive him away, had to make an excuse for him to stay and help Su Tong consolidate Medicine King Valley, to which Long Yuntai finally agreed with satisfaction.

”Sect Master, rest assured, once I’m done here, I’ll come find you.” Long Yuntai said excitedly.

Ye Guichen said exasperatedly: ”I’ve told you 800 times, don’t call me Sect Master.”

Ye Guichen didn’t understand how Long Yuntai, at such an age, could be so stubborn, just like Su Tong and the others.

Back then, Su Tong also relentlessly refused to give up just to make him the Sect Leader of Shennong Sect, just like Long Yuntai.

Sighing, he asked, ”By the way, how did you deal with Wu Dan?”

Wu Dan had offended him and even spoke rudely. Ye Guichen never found the time to deal with him, and now he casually asked about it.

Long Yuntai grinned and said, ”Sect Master, rest assured, Wu Dan has been made a fool by me using secret techniques of the Esoteric Sect. He won’t bother you anymore. As for his subordinates, I’ve driven them away, but they should all be dead by now.”

”Oh.” Ye Guichen didn’t care about their life or death and nodded casually.

Ye Guichen didn’t take it to heart, but the Wu Family in Tianzhou was in an uproar.

The Wu Family had clung to Long Yuntai’s coattail, originally intending to use Long Yuntai’s ghostly methods to deal with the Su Family, so they sent people to join Long Yuntai in forging the Soul Refining Flag in Medicine King Valley.

They even had Wu Dan follow along to broaden his horizons with Long Yuntai.

But no one expected that when Wu Dan returned, he had gone mad.

Those experts who accompanied Wu Dan to Medicine King Valley came back bleeding bizarrely from their seven orifices, all dead.

Seeing the corpses in the courtyard and the insane Wu Dan, the Wu Family members felt their scalps tingle.

”Hold him down for me!” Wu Hualong said with a terrifyingly grim face.

He was the Wu Family Patriarch, now just over fifty, already at the Half-step Master Realm.

Moreover, the Wu Family’s businesses spanned the entire Southwest Region, though still a bit inferior to the Su Family. But Wu Hualong believed that if he tried a little harder, he could firmly suppress the Su Family.

Especially after hearing that the old fellow from the Su Family, Sunan King Su Mu, was not in good health, the Su Family hurried to marry off Su Jiu’er to find a strong backing. In case something happened to Sunan King, the Su Family would be oppressed by other families.

Over the years, the Su Family has been the Southwest King and a top aristocratic family in Tianzhou. Su Family members were flattered and fawned over wherever they went.

But for that reason, everyone connected to the Su Family held themselves in high regard, offending not a few people.

The Su Family is the Southwest King now, and no one dares to do anything, but once Sunan King dies, the Su Family would likely become the target of many.

The Wu Family was waiting for this opportunity, which is why they aggressively recruited experts.

Learning that Long Yuntai was an Esoteric Sect member, the Wu Family promised many benefits to keep him around.

They originally thought that even if Wu Dan gained nothing from following Long Yuntai, he wouldn’t be in danger.

But now, he was mad.

Wu Hualong’s face was extremely unpleasant.

Someone immediately held down Wu Dan.

Wu Dan kept laughing and shouting, ”Master Ye, haha, Master Ye is amazing! He subdued thousands of fierce ghosts with one palm, thousands of fierce ghosts!”

”Wu Dan, what Master Ye, what’s going on?” Wu Yinglong asked, trying to be patient.

However, apart from mentioning Master Ye, Wu Dan couldn’t say a single useful word.

”Damn it, investigate immediately, find out what happened in Medicine King Valley!” Wu Hualong glanced at Wu Dan and waved his hand: ”Lock him up, don’t show this disgrace. And anyone spreading news of his madness will face dire consequences.”

As the Wu Family Patriarch, Wu Hualong had more than just Wu Dan as a son.

Since Wu Dan went mad, if the outside world found out, wouldn’t they mock the Wu Family’s incompetence?

It’s the crucial moment to confront the Su Family; any mistake could cause irreparable damage.

After Wu Dan was taken away, a young man beside Wu Hualong quietly asked: ”Father, there’s something fishy here. Long Yuntai is an Esoteric Sect expert; even though the Esoteric Sect has declined, he should at least be able to protect my brother, right? Could it be the Sunan Mansion’s doing?”

”The Su Family?” Wu Hualong glanced at the man: ”Wu Liang, where did you hear that?”

Wu Liang shook his head: ”Not only did people from our Wu Family return from Medicine King Valley, but many others from various sects as well. They were initially drawn by the medicine, and there was even a bounty on a guy named Ye Guichen, using an Innate Pill as a reward for his head.”

”But now, those people have all left Medicine King Valley in a hurry. Also, I heard that Ye Guichen has a good relationship with the Su Family. A few days ago, Su Wu even led people to protect Ye Guichen. As for Luo Potian and other Half-step Masters’ deaths, it’s likely exaggerated. Could it be that the Su Family spread false information on purpose?”

”Hmm?” Wu Hualong looked at his son, ”Are you saying that whether it’s Ye Guichen or Luo Potian’s death, the Su Family had a hand in them?”

Wu Liang nodded: ”Father, not only that, but I also worry that Wu Dan’s situation is another Su Family ploy to target us. Long Yuntai might have been bribed by the Su Family.”

Pausing, he continued: ”Now, it’s the Su Family’s joyous occasion, and their chosen fiancé for Su Jiu’er is from the Kyoto Shen Family. If something happens to the Shen Family, they’ll be in deep trouble themselves.”

Wu Hualong pondered for a while, feeling Wu Liang made sense: ”Indeed, it’s probably all orchestrated by the Su Family. As for Ye Guichen, he’s likely just a smokescreen by the Su Family to divert attention. In that case…”

At this point, Wu Hualong’s face turned grim as well: ”If the Su Family dares to touch my son, we’ll return the favor. Find out where that Ye Guichen is and use his head as a gift to the Su Family. As for Long Yuntai, just keep a close eye on him.”

Hearing this, Wu Liang’s eyes lit up, he licked his lips: ”Father, I was thinking the same. Hehe, I believe, this gift, the Su Family will surely appreciate very much.”

Wu Hualong narrowed his eyes, ”That Ye Guichen is probably just a small fry. Just as you said earlier, if Su Jiu’er’s fiancée Shen Lian meets with an ’accident’, wouldn’t the Kyoto Shen Family hold the Su Family accountable? Haha, how will the Su Family explain themselves then?”

Wu Liang gave a thumbs-up: ”Father, you’re truly wise! I’ll send someone now, making sure nobody knows.”
