My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1401 - 1329: A Grudge is Formed

Leng Lie completely overlooked Ye Guichen’s presence.

Upon hearing this voice, he inadvertently shivered, glanced up, and couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

Why is he here?

Moreover, judging by the looks of it, Ye Guichen seems to be in cahoots with the killer?

The scene of Ye Guichen raising his hand to summon lightning and striking Situ Jingtian to death was vivid in his memory.

Originally, after Ye Guichen killed a Golden Bell, even if he survived, he should have been skinned.

Yet, several days have passed, and not only is Ye Guichen alive and well, but he is also enjoying himself in such a place.

Though Leng Lie has a grudge against Ye Guichen and feels he is an eyesore deep down, he also knows his own limitations and realizes he is no match for Ye Guichen.

His mind raced through countless thoughts, his expression changed, as he stared at Ye Guichen, responding with silence for the moment.

At this time, Shen Chang’an, emboldened by Leng Lie, could no longer wait and urged, "Godfather, why hesitate? Even if the King of Heaven himself were to come today, we must get Miss Huashan."

"Quickly, what are you waiting for, act now!" Shen Chang’an, with false bravado, waved his hand and shouted at Leng Lie’s subordinates.

The people from Heavenly Patrol knew the relationship between Shen Chang’an and Leng Lie, so they were certain Leng Lie would side with Shen Chang’an today. Thus, they hesitated not at all, quickly stepping forward to surround Ye Guichen, Qin Muge, and Hua Nu.

"If you dare fight back, you’re resisting Heavenly Patrol, and will be executed on the spot!"

These subordinates didn’t recognize Ye Guichen naturally, nor were they aware of his terrifying reputation.

They were prepared for the aftermath, knowing that the Shen Family had wealth, and perhaps they would receive some Spirit Stones as reward later.

Ye Guichen looked at the people from Heavenly Patrol, sighed lightly, and ignored them, instead focusing on Leng Lie: "Leng Yinluo, are you sure you want to make a move?"

"Damn it, are you threatening our Lord Yinluo?" One of the Heavenly Patrol members could not wait anymore and swung his knife down.

Ye Guichen snorted coldly, kicked the opponent, sending him flying.

Then, stepping forward, he approached Leng Lie directly, pointing at Qin Muge and Hua Nu, "These two are my friends, you attacked them and even harbored murderous intent earlier, shouldn’t you provide me an explanation?"

His words and actions were as arrogant as could be.

Witnessing this, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He actually confronted Leng Lie directly, who is this person, why is he so audacious?

Seeing this, Shen Chang’an arrogantly said, "Damn it, who the hell are you? How dare you speak like that to my godfather? Do you not know the meaning of death?"

"Slap!"

Before Leng Lie could speak, Ye Guichen slapped Shen Chang’an, sending him flying: "Is this your place to speak?"

Shen Chang’an struggled to get up, covering his face with one hand, angrily glaring at Ye Guichen: "You, how dare you hit me? Godfather, say something!"

Unexpectedly, Leng Lie didn’t act rashly, and seemed not to hear Shen Chang’an’s words at all: "Mr. Ye, I know you’re very capable and skilled, but after all, this is the territory of Heavenly Patrol. Although we’ve had some grievances before, those were between us. If you would show me some respect today, I’ll treat you to a meal later."

His tone had already softened.

What?

Hearing Leng Lie’s words, Shen Chang’an was stunned: "Godfather, you, are you..."

Not only Shen Chang’an, but everyone else was also bewildered.

"Who is this person? How can he be so arrogant?"

"Yes, even the Yinluo is backing down, this is too terrifying."

"Damn it, seems like they’ve hit an iron plate."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion.

Just then, a sudden noise erupted outside.

Soon, a group of people surrounded a man dressed in luxurious clothing as he walked in.

Upon seeing this person, the originally anxious brothel keeper’s eyes lit up, hurriedly approaching: "Lord Wang, you’ve finally arrived."

The leader had fair skin, even more delicate and smooth than many young women.

This person was Wang Tianning.

Wang Tianning snorted coldly, ignored the brothel keeper, and looked toward Leng Lie: "Oh, isn’t that the Yinluo? What’s going on here, has water flooded the Dragon King Temple, why doesn’t one family recognize the other?"

Seeing Ye Guichen’s unchanged expression and his apparent refusal to let him off, Leng Lie relaxed as he saw Wang Tianning arrive, seemingly finding an exit, turning to Wang Tianning: "Lord Wang, what wind blew you here?"

Wang Tianning laughed heartily: "Leng Yinluo doesn’t seem to know, this Cui Xiang Building has some ties to me. How about letting today’s issue go?"

Leng Lie originally planned to resist to the end, but now seeing Ye Guichen’s intervention, he realized continuing wouldn’t bring any benefit.

"A misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding, it seems that today was all a misunderstanding!" Leng Lie said, cupping his hands: "Alright, let’s pretend we weren’t here."

He then instructed his subordinates: "Let’s go!"

"Godfather..." Shen Chang’an was anxious as he heard Leng Lie say go, but upon receiving a glare from Leng Lie, he could only shut up.

"Are you leaving without apologizing to my friends?" Ye Guichen, seeing Leng Lie about to leave, couldn’t help but speak with a smile.

Qin Muge also stepped forward quickly: "That’s right, you hit our people and still want to leave?"

As he spoke, he gave Wang Tianning a look.

Wang Tianning just recognized Qin Muge and was so scared his expression slightly changed.

Leng Lie not recognizing Qin Muge was one thing, but how could Wang Tianning, who served the Qin Family, not know him?

In any case, Wang Tianning never expected Qin Muge would be here.

Moreover, he quickly noticed Ye Guichen.

He had also heard of Ye Guichen, knowing this guy was not simple.

Thoughts raced through his mind, seemingly realizing something, Wang Tianning’s expression became serious: "Mr. Leng, what’s going on?"

Leng Lie already knew he couldn’t gain any advantage today, leaving would have been fine, but he didn’t expect Ye Guichen to be so relentless.

"Mr. Ye, the green mountains will not change; the rivers will always flow. Even in Dragon City, you must have your relaxed moments too, right?" His words implied a warning to Ye Guichen.

"Damn, are you threatening my Brother Ye?" Qin Muge was not having it: "Leng Lie, try saying that again!"

"Haha, Cold Yinluo, judging by your words, are you trying to bend the law for personal gain?" Wang Tianning spoke up too, seemingly wanting to oppose Leng Lie.

Leng Lie’s face grew increasingly grim.

If he admitted defeat in front of his subordinates today, he wouldn’t be able to survive in the future.

But seeing this situation, if he didn’t back down, it would be hard to leave.

Considering Ye Guichen dared to kill Zhu Ming, he might just kill him too.

As long as the green hills remain, there’s no fear of running out of firewood.

Leng Lie was decisive, suddenly bowing to Hua Nu: "Friend, I was too harsh earlier, I apologize."

After that, he turned to leave, not wanting to stay another moment.

The group came quickly and left quickly, soon departing from Cui Xiang Building.

"Godfather, are we just leaving like this?" After leaving Cui Xiang Building, Shen Chang’an covered his mouth, full of unwillingness.

Leng Lie, with a gloomy face, stopped: "What do you know!"

"Godfather, you’re part of the Heavenly Patrol, what are you afraid of? That damn eunuch, no matter how much power he has, can’t control you!"

"You think I’m afraid of that eunuch?" The corner of Leng Lie’s mouth twitched slightly, a sinister look in his eyes: "I’m not afraid of that eunuch, but of that Ye fellow earlier."

"Ye fellow? What Ye fellow?" Shen Chang’an became even more confused.

Leng Lie sighed, his face looking unpleasant: "That kid’s name is Ye Guichen, he killed Zhu Ming."

"Zhu, Zhu Jinluo?" Upon hearing this name, Shen Chang’an’s pupils contracted sharply, revealing fear: "How is that possible? Zhu Jinluo was a Foundation Establishment Peak expert, could he be killed just like that? And even if he killed the Golden Bell, how could he still be at large?"

"Hmph, which is why we can’t provoke him for now!" Leng Lie was seething with anger: "But this matter won’t end just like that. Don’t worry, as long as he’s still in Dragon City, sooner or later he’ll fall into my hands."

In his heart, Leng Lie had harbored a deep hatred for Ye Guichen.

Cui Xiang Building.

"This servant greets His Highness, the Second Prince." Inside the private room, Wang Tianning trembling with fear, knelt directly before Qin Muge, his head touching the ground, having long lost his previous might.

In this posture, he was nothing but a servant.

Qin Muge sat in a high seat, gesturing with his hand: "Rise."

Wang Tianning raised his head trembling: "This servant wouldn’t dare, this servant didn’t know His Highness was here, arriving late to save, if an accident happened here, this servant couldn’t atone even if he died a thousand times!"

As he spoke, tears streamed down Wang Tianning’s face.

As if Qin Muge had truly encountered some mishap.

Qin Muge waved his hand: "Alright, alright, get up quickly, I’m not blaming you, don’t worry, even though this Cui Xiang Building has something to do with you, I won’t tell Father, rest assured."

Since Wang Tianning, as an eunuch, had set up Cui Xiang Building outside, it would surely make Qin Cangqiong have opinions.

That’s what Wang Tianning feared.

Upon hearing Qin Muge’s words, Wang Tianning breathed a sigh of relief, flattering: "Your Highness, what are you saying, this servant only has a casual connection with Cui Xiang Building, but you’re always welcome to come by anytime."

"Hehe, then is Miss Huashan also at your command?" Qin Muge asked with a sly smile.

Wang Tianning coughed awkwardly: "Ahem, naturally, Miss Huashan is my adopted daughter. If His Highness desires, I can have her serve you right away."

"Uh..." Qin Muge thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it, if she knows my identity, it wouldn’t be because of my own charm anymore."

"Yes, yes, only as Your Highness commands?" Wang Tianning nodded repeatedly, then seeing no one around, he whispered: "By the way, Your Highness, what are your thoughts on the Demon Clan issue?"

Qin Muge frowned: "What thoughts could I have?"

"Hehe, Your Highness, although His Majesty favors you, you have several brothers. If you achieve something with the Demon Clan, your position may become more and more stable."

Qin Muge wasn’t very interested in court matters, casually brushing off: "As for the Demon Clan, if they can be killed, then kill them?"

"Haha, Your Highness, that’s not quite right!" Wang Tianning, looking cunning, said: "Actually, even if they are to be killed, it should be done spectacularly."
