My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chen Ziran seemed to hear a tale from Arabian Nights.

Just because they didn’t hit him, he was supposed to be grateful.

How could he have a blood connection with such people?

”Alright, Chen Ziran, you’ve learned what you should know, now go back.” Someone took Chen Ziran away, while Li Fengxian was also carried out.

Once Chen Ziran and Li Fengxian left, silence fell over the room again.

After a long time, Chen Tianhe finally spoke: ”Old Four, you’ve been handling this entire matter, why isn’t that kid here yet?”

Uncle Chen was about to speak when footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

Soon after, a servant of the Chen Family ran over and whispered into Uncle Chen’s ear.

Uncle Chen’s eyes lit up, he gestured for his subordinate to leave, then respectfully said to Chen Tianhe, ”Clan Leader, that kid has already arrived at Xianju Mountain.”

”Really?” Chen Tianhe said excitedly, ”Have all the necessary arrangements been made?”

”Clan Leader, rest assured, everything has been arranged to ensure that kid comes but doesn’t leave. Hmph, although he has the means to kill Jitian, our hidden clan is not to be trifled with.”

”Moreover, to ensure his destruction this time, Japan’s martial arts have dispatched the top assassin from the infamous dark list, called the Specter. In addition to this, various overseas forces have sent many experts intending to annihilate him directly, giving that kid no chance to breathe.”

Uncle Chen said grimly, ”As long as that kid dies, we can establish a connection with the first overseas martial arts power, and they’ll give us a Qi Condensing Pill. By then, with a new Qi Refiner, our Chen Family can definitely elevate our status at Xianju Mountain.”

Chen Tianhe lightly nodded at this: ”Indeed! Even if our Chen Family doesn’t act, other families won’t stand idly by. After all, this guy named Ye Guichen is rising too quickly, touching too many people’s interests, even overseas powers like the God Worship Sect are paying attention, we’re just doing a favor along the way.”

”Exactly, Clan Leader, that God Worship Sect holds ten Qi Refiners, a formidable force. If they want to kill someone, it would be a breeze. Our actions contribute to the sake of Chen Ziran’s lineage, by then they’ll surely understand your intention.” Uncle Chen said.

Chen Tianhe no longer said more but waved his hand, ”Alright, Old Four, you’ve done well this time. After the matter is resolved, let Chen Ziran’s line manage the secular assets.”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen was ecstatic, bowing quickly: ”Thank you, Clan Leader, for your generous love!”

Even though they are a hidden family, the chance to depart Xianju Mountain for the secular world is rare.

Everyone desires the feeling of standing atop a mountain.

If he truly managed to control all of Chen Ziran’s line assets, Uncle Chen could live like a local emperor, considerably more carefree than living in Xianju Mountain.

Meanwhile, while Chen Tianhe and others were lost in thought, they were unaware that someone had silently infiltrated the Chen Family.

Though the Chen Family is merely a minor hidden noble, they certainly have a foundation.

Grandmaster Realm experts likely number five, and there are apparently two Great Grandmaster realm masters.

This kind of power, stepping out of Xianju Mountain, could definitely dominate a region, feared by none.

However, this force in front of a Qi Refiner is still just a small matter.

During this time, though the Chen Family’s defense was strict, with a Grandmaster Realm expert guarding every day against possible assaults.

Yet, a Grandmaster Realm expert is unimpressive in front of a Qi Refiner.

This is precisely why Gongyang Lang, arriving ahead of time, wandered through the Chen Family without being detected, completely understanding its ins-and-outs.

He hid in the shadows, watching people carrying the cage containing Li Fengxian to the pigsty.

The pigsty housed over a dozen pigs, reeking of a foul odor.

Li Fengxian, without feeling anything, lay in the cage snoring as if resting on a luxury bed.

The two who carried him quickly left after tossing the cage, holding their noses.

”Hey, old man, heard you’re his master?”

Suddenly, Li Fengxian heard a voice beside his ear.

Glancing up, he found a middle-aged scholar-like person holding a tray beside him.

The man smiled at him.

Li Fengxian hesitated: ”You mean that kid Ye Guichen?”

”Hehe, who else but him.” Gongyang Lang laughed.

”Indeed, the proudest thing in my life was taking such a pupil,” Li Fengxian boasted without asking who Gongyang Lang was.

Seeing Li Fengxian utterly unaffected by confinement, even embracing his situation, Gongyang Lang couldn’t help but admire, ”No wonder you can cultivate such a character, haha, with your mental fortitude, ordinary folk cannot compare.”

”You’re too kind, too kind!” Li Fengxian casually picked up a piece of pig dung from the ground, sniffing it, then sighed, ”Alas, that pig ate something it shouldn’t have, the stools are hard, these folks don’t care, carrying on like this, given three more days, it’ll starve into skin and bones.”

Gongyang Lang, amazed: ”You sniff the pig dung and determine its illness?”

”Haha, it’s just a parlor trick. You don’t know, at the age of ten Ye Guichen possessed such a skill. Back then I scolded him for learning slowly, but you wouldn’t know I only learned this at fifty-three. However, that kid always thought he was an idiot, even now he feels I’m more talented.”

Li Fengxian laughed heartily, tears escaping his eyes as he sighed, ”Oh, a blink of an eye, it’s been a year since I saw that kid, wonder how he’s doing, dreaming of him prospering. But now it seems he’s too prospering, caught attention, hope to see him again.”

Gongyang Lang touched, ”Old sir, rest assured, you will see him.”

Li Fengxian sniffed, holding back tears, then studied Gongyang Lang, ”Who are you? Are you with the Chen Family?”

Gongyang Lang smiled, shook his head, ”Old sir, the Chen Family’s treatment, when he arrives, they’ll surely regret this.”

”You know that kid?” Li Fengxian asked expectantly.

Gongyang Lang nodded slightly, ”I’ve sworn allegiance.”
