My Silly, Sweet Wife

A word of wisdom awakens a dreamer.

The rest of the family members suddenly realized.

They all knelt down.

Seeing members of the thirty-four families kneeling on the ground, and Dongfang Feng and Dongfang Ming standing dumbfounded outside the hall, Ye Guichen nodded in satisfaction and smiled, gesturing at Dongfang Feng and Dongfang Ming: ”You two are the first to know me. From today onward, the two of you will jointly control the Dongfang Family and share equal standing.”

Dongfang Ming and Dongfang Feng were no fools.

They understood that at this point, there was no other option but to agree.

Moreover, Ye Guichen’s methods were too frightening.

Following such a person seems beneficial for the Dongfang Family and for themselves.

”Dongfang Feng greets Mr. Ye!”

”Dongfang Ming greets Mr. Ye!”

Their voices echoed loudly above the Chen Family.

Gongyang Lang was at a loss for words to describe his emotions.

He felt as if his back was perfectly straight, as if he was floating.

Gongyang Lang knew that if he did not follow Ye Guichen, he would never seize such pride in his life.

...

Afterward, Ye Guichen stayed at Xianju Mountain for more than ten days, and during this time, he also visited White Mist Valley to test and refine the array of the entire Xianju Mountain.

However, after several attempts, Ye Guichen found that his cultivation level was insufficient to support such a large array.

In the end, he had to give up and wait for his cultivation to improve before trying again.

On the eleventh day, an acquaintance came to Xianju Mountain to find Ye Guichen.

”Mr. Ye, I finally found you.” It was Mo Changsheng, the Alchemy Master whom Ye Guichen met in the Ghost Market.

Since being released by Ye Guichen in the Ghost Market, Mo Changsheng returned to the Penglai Pill Sect upon leaving.

It had been over a month since then.

Ye Guichen did not expect Mo Changsheng to come looking for him and asked in surprise, ”Senior Mo, what brings you to me?”

”Hehe, come with me, let’s go to the Pill Sect and give them a resounding slap in the face!” Mo Changsheng was in a rush; it was evident he hadn’t been wronged since returning to the Pill Sect. Now he looked radiant, dragging Ye Guichen along without explanation.

Ye Guichen had no pressing matters at Xianju Mountain, planning to go out again, deal with some trivial matters, and re-enter the Ghost Market to find a way to infiltrate the secret society and assess the situation.

Seeing Mo Changsheng inviting him to the Pill Sect, he readily agreed, saying, ”What exactly is the matter? Tell me first.”

”Come, come, I’ll tell you on the way.” Mo Changsheng, after all, belonged to a reclusive sect and seemed to have heard some things about Xianju Mountain.

Ye Guichen, feeling helpless, told Gongyang Lang to stay at the Chen Family and to find him at the Ghost Market after the Chen Family had settled down.

Even though settling down might take a while, Gongyang Lang had no complaints.

Now, everyone in Xianju Mountain regarded Gongyang Lang as Ye Guichen’s spokesperson, trying to curry favor with him daily.

Gongyang Lang felt like a king living in Xianju Mountain, a stark contrast to his previous life.

Moreover, with the continuous intake of Pei Yuan Pills, Gongyang Lang’s Dantian was nearly repaired.

He might even experience a breakthrough while staying in Xianju Mountain.

”Understood, I promise to complete the task!” Gongyang Lang readily agreed.

Ye Guichen wasted no more words and left Xianju Mountain with Mo Changsheng.

Upon leaving Xianju Mountain, Ye Guichen deliberately sensed the token given by the giant tree.

There was no response.

It seemed as if the thing didn’t even exist.

It appears the token can only be used within the boundaries of Xianju Mountain.

Ye Guichen sighed slightly in his heart and asked, ”Senior Mo, if there’s something to say, just say it. Why the rush?”

”Hehe, of course, I’m in a rush. I can’t wait to see their faces swelling from the slap.” Mo Changsheng smiled mysteriously, no longer keeping it a secret, and explained the situation.

After hearing it, Ye Guichen felt somewhat speechless.

So Mo Changsheng wanted him to represent the Penglai Pill Sect in the competition by refining pills.

According to Mo Changsheng, besides the main Pill Sect within the hidden gate, there are four major Pill Sects in the secular world.

The first one is naturally the Pill Sect located in Penglai, known as the Penglai Pill Sect.

Additionally, there is the South Sea Pill Sect on the South Sea, the Kunlun Pill Sect in the far west, and the Beiji Pill Sect in the extreme north.

The four major Pill Sects are actually branches of the main Pill Sect within the hidden gate.

Over the years, every few years, the four major Pill Sects hold a competition to select the most outstanding disciple in their sects, representing them to enter the hidden gate and become a direct disciple of the main Pill Sect.

Likewise, it is also an opportunity for the four Pill Sects to compete against each other.

If a disciple of a sect wins and outshines the other three sects, the sect will also receive rewards from the main Pill Sect.

These rewards are mostly pills, but they are of extremely high grade.

Moreover, three years ago, the other three sects had to offer pills annually to the winning sect.

The quantity and quality were determined through discussions among the four sects.

But the quantity was definitely not small.

Thus, every competition is a fierce battle for the four major Pill Sects.

Unfortunately, the Penglai Pill Sect had been weak for a long time, never winning once in decades.

A few years ago, they finally had a genius, Mo Changsheng, but shortly after becoming an elder in the sect, he was captured and held by Hua Xiangrong.

This is why the Penglai Pill Sect had been declining year by year.

Additionally, having to offer pills to other Pill Sects left them unable to cultivate outstanding talents.

And so it continued, a vicious cycle.

After returning to the Penglai Pill Sect, Mo Changsheng offered some high-grade pills Ye Guichen had refined to the sect and immediately gained the Sect Leader’s favor. Not only did he not face any questioning regarding his disappearance over the years, but he was also highly praised. It was publicly claimed that Mo Changsheng had been painstakingly seeking out Spirit Grass.

Moreover, he was unconditionally promoted to the First Elder of the Penglai Pill Sect.

Many were envious, but knowing that Mo Changsheng had brought back fourth-grade pills, they all remained silent.

Fourth-grade pills, something even the Sect Leader struggled to refine.

Although most did not believe Mo Changsheng refined the pills, the fact was he presented these high-grade pills, implying he had the backing of a remarkable individual.

Thus, on the eve of the grand competition of the four major Pill Sects, the Sect Leader and Mo Changsheng held a night-long discussion, hoping Mo Changsheng could invite the master behind him.

The Sect Leader even personally toasted Mo Changsheng, getting him so drunk that he couldn’t find his bearings, assuring, ”No problem, definitely no problem!”

And then Mo Changsheng arrived.

After hearing the story, Ye Guichen became increasingly doubtful of Mo Changsheng’s reliability.

It made sense he ended up being taken by Hua Xiangrong to the Ghost Market; one or two drinks and he’d be entirely lost.

However, considering the opportunity to win in the competition and represent the Penglai Pill Sect in entering the main Pill Sect within the hidden gate, Ye Guichen felt this was an opportunity.
