My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Indeed, we were also deceived and feel guilty in our hearts. Today we have brought some gifts as a token of our respect.” The He Family Patriarch quickly spoke up.

The Xuanyuan Clan Leader, with a smiling face, said, ”Mr. Ye, I wonder why you have invited us here? What teachings do you have for us?”

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Ye Guichen glanced around, seeing all thirty-four families had arrived.

He was quite pleased with the deterrence of killing someone with heavenly thunder two days ago.

Ye Guichen nodded slightly, ”Today, I wanted to invite you to watch a show.”

”A show?” Everyone was puzzled, ”What kind of show?”

”Everyone, don’t be hasty, the main character has not arrived yet.” Ye Guichen called out to Gongyang Lang outside, ”The Dongfang Clan Leader should be arriving soon. Go outside and greet him.”

”The Dongfang Family?”

”Old Thief Dongfang?”

”Why would Mr. Ye invite Old Thief Dongfang too?”

”Does he intend to reconcile?”

”It’s possible. The Dongfang Family is, after all, the largest family on Xianju Mountain. Although there are grudges, it’s better to resolve them than to create new ones.”

”Yes, it seems Mr. Ye is still not daring to truly break ties with the Dongfang Family.”

Many were whispering.

Ye Guichen smiled and did not respond.

Not long after, Gongyang Lang led the Dongfang Clan Leader and his entourage into the courtyard.

Upon seeing that quite a few people had already gathered from the Chen Family, the Dongfang Clan Leader was initially stunned. Then, with a strange expression, he quickly surveyed and found that, except for the Chen Family, all thirty-six families from Xianju Mountain were present.

”You are all here!” The Dongfang Clan Leader soon started laughing, cupping his hands in greeting.

The other clan leaders quickly returned the greeting, and the atmosphere became extremely harmonious.

Even though the Dongfang Clan Leader felt strange in his heart, upon seeing Ye Guichen just a hundred paces away, a trace of cunning flickered deep in his eyes.

As long as he got within twenty steps, with his powerful strength, he could instantly subdue Ye Guichen.

Regardless of why the other families were here, each was for their own benefit.

Once Ye Guichen was subdued, and dividing the Chen Family’s properties began, he believed no one would refuse.

The Dongfang Clan Leader, in order to make Ye Guichen lower his guard, came to the hall alone.

”Dongfang Clan Leader, are you planning to kill me?” Just when the Dongfang Clan Leader was about to seize an opportunity to attack Ye Guichen, Ye Guichen’s voice suddenly rang out.

The Dongfang Clan Leader froze, his face darkened. Although he didn’t know how Ye Guichen found out, there was no time to hesitate.

Any hesitation, and the opportunity would be lost.

”Ha ha, indeed!” The Dongfang Clan Leader was a Qi Refining Realm level five expert, ranking in the top three on Xianju Mountain with his cultivation.

As his words fell, his figure appeared in front of Ye Guichen. At the same time, a hand reached out like an eagle’s claw, aiming for Ye Guichen’s neck, intending to control him.

However, this grab ended up empty.

Ye Guichen employed his mystical movement technique. Although it wasn’t teleportation, in the eyes of people like the Dongfang Clan Leader, there was no difference.

The Dongfang Clan Leader only felt his eyes blur. While shocked, he heard Ye Guichen’s voice behind him once again: ”Tsk tsk, Dongfang Clan Leader, with this little skill, trying to kill me seems a bit difficult!”

The sudden turn of events made everyone’s faces change drastically at the scene.

The Dongfang Clan Leader actually wanted to kill Ye Guichen.

Yet, the sneak attack was unsuccessful?

No one moved recklessly.

Everyone stood up, seemingly deciding which side to align with.

Ye Guichen, with his hands behind his back, didn’t care about others’ thoughts but calmly looked at the Dongfang Clan Leader: ”Dongfang Clan Leader, I have already given you a chance. Before, you wanted to seize the opportunity from me, and considering Dongfang Yue and my past acquaintance, I allowed you to come and admit your mistake. But not only did you not admit your mistake, but you also gathered other families to kill me. Ha, what a pity...”

Ye Guichen glanced around. Each person he looked at quickly lowered their heads in fright.

Ignoring their reactions, Ye Guichen curved his lips in a mocking smile, continuing: ”Did you think that by controlling me, you could prevent me from using my true strength? Ha, you’re wrong. That beautiful woman beside you indeed has some brains, but she always gives you petty tricks. If it were someone else, they might have already fallen for it, but you chose the wrong target.”

As his words fell, Ye Guichen suddenly stomped, directly executing the fifth level of the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, Heavenly Fall.

Ever since reaching the third level of Qi Refinement, Ye Guichen’s Heavenly Fall technique had become much more refined, and its range expanded to thirteen meters.

If Ye Guichen desired, within thirteen meters, he could kill experts in the Qi Refining Realm as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs.

The Dongfang Clan Leader was already frightened by Ye Guichen’s words.

How does he know about the conversation with my beautiful companion?

But there was no time to think more as the Dongfang Clan Leader felt an unprecedentedly terrifying aura rushing towards him.

It seemed as if, once touched by that aura, death was certain.

”Run!”

The Dongfang Clan Leader, with no time to care about anything else, turned to flee.

Yet, his reaction was far too slow.

Just as the thought emerged, the Dongfang Clan Leader felt his whole body stiffening and his strength rapidly draining.

For the first time, the Dongfang Clan Leader felt the fear of death.

”Please, spare me! Mr. Ye, as long as you spare me, I will be your dog in the future!” Facing death, the Dongfang Clan Leader no longer cared about any schemes and only begged Ye Guichen for mercy.

However, Ye Guichen merely shook his head lightly, with a cold smile: ”I’m not one to mince words. I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it.”

Then he turned to the others, already stunned: ”Today, make sure to enjoy this fine show, and don’t blink.”

As Ye Guichen spoke, he slowly opened his hand and gently grasped it.

It was as if something was pulled out from within the Dongfang Clan Leader.

The next moment, the Dongfang Clan Leader’s body shriveled up quickly.

A few seconds later, the Dongfang Clan Leader had already turned into a dried corpse.

His eyes still bore expressions of unwillingness and fear. After collapsing to the ground, his hand still reached towards Ye Guichen, seemingly in repentance.

But it was too late.

The entire hall was deathly silent.

No one dared to make a sound.

Everyone was shocked by Ye Guichen’s means, internally grateful they didn’t make trouble for him.

Looking at the Dongfang Clan Leader’s body, an unusual thought occurred to each person’s mind.

If they dared to resist, their fate wouldn’t be any better than Ye Guichen’s.

The Xuanyuan Clan Leader was the first to react.

He knelt to the ground, heavily knocked his head against the ground towards Ye Guichen, and shouted loudly: ”From today, our Xuanyuan Family pledges absolute loyalty to Mr. Ye; only Mr. Ye shall lead us! Xianju Mountain, only Mr. Ye shall lead us!”
