My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1172: A Warning for the Dongfang Family

"Stealing the fortune from me?"

Initially, Ye Guichen was eavesdropping on other people's conversations out of curiosity, but unexpectedly, someone actually wanted to harm him, filling his heart with anger.

In the next second, he felt as if something suddenly pulled his body away.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back at the Chen Family's Stargazing Tower.

"Turns out, this artifact is used in this way."

Ye Guichen felt extremely exhausted, as if he had just been through a fierce battle.

It was a fatigue that emanated from deep within his soul.

It seems that his soul power is still quite weak, making prolonged use of this visualization method unrealistic at this time.

But regarding everything he saw and heard earlier, Ye Guichen absolutely did not believe it was just a dream; it was indeed real.

Since the Dongfang Family's clan leader wishes to harm me, they cannot accuse me of being ruthless and merciless.

Ye Guichen tried a few more times and found that in his current extreme exhaustion, he could not project his vision far beyond his immediate vicinity.

That is, approximately within the confines of the Chen Family.

Given this, Ye Guichen stopped further attempts and instead sat cross-legged to rest.

Early the next morning, Ye Guichen sensed a group of people arriving at the Chen Family's main gate, around a dozen people, and they were carrying several boxes.

After a night of rest, Ye Guichen's energy returned to peak condition, and he tried to communicate with the artifact to inspect the situation at the gate.

This time, the task was much easier, and Ye Guichen was able to clearly place his thoughts at the gate, as if everything was happening before his eyes.

The person leading the group was someone Ye Guichen recognized—Elder Dongfang Ming from the Dongfang Family—and behind him were several servants from the Dongfang Family. After Dongfang Ming knocked, Gongyang Lang opened the gate.

"Who are you looking for?" Gongyang Lang became alert upon noticing the imposing aura of the people outside, especially the leader whose aura was in no way inferior to his own.

Dongfang Ming beamed with a smile, "Oh, hello, I am Dongfang Ming from the Dongfang Family. Please inform Mr. Ye Guichen that I am here to see him."

The attitude was almost excessively humble.

Since returning, Ye Guichen had not mentioned to Gongyang Lang what had transpired in White Mist Valley and the Dongfang Family, so when Gongyang Lang saw the Dongfang Family members being so humble, he was filled with suspicion.

According to Gongyang Lang's knowledge, the Dongfang Family was the premier family of Xianju Mountain, akin to Dongfang Hong they met last time, whose arrogance was imaginable.

The Dongfang Family members didn't even regard Qi Refiners like Gongyang Lang.

"Please wait a moment, I will inform Mr. Ye." Gongyang Lang dared not delay any further and quickly turned to find Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen attempted to use his visualization to communicate with Gongyang Lang, but found that although he opened his mouth, he could not make a sound.

It seems, although the giant tree had given him the artifact, he still could not fully control it and needed to continue refining it before he could gradually take control of Xianju Mountain.

Ye Guichen even felt that if he could completely refine the artifact, a single thought from him could cause upheaval throughout Xianju Mountain.

"My cultivation is still too weak," Ye Guichen mused, strangely hopeful that if he one day truly ascended to immortality, he could perhaps make Xianju Mountain his own domain.

If so, then everyone within Xianju Mountain would have to serve him, loyal and devoted.

With this thought, Ye Guichen withdrew his mind.

Gongyang Lang found him and respectfully bowed, "Mr. Ye, the Dongfang Family people have come seeking you and appear to have brought many gifts."

Ye Guichen immediately waved his hand dismissively and snorted coldly, "Tell them to get lost! Inform the Dongfang Clan's leader that if they don't want the Dongfang Family to follow the fate of the Chen Family, they should come to see me kneeling."

Hearing Ye Guichen's words, Gongyang Lang was utterly astonished, gazing at Ye Guichen in surprise: "Mr. Ye, are you alright? The Dongfang Family is the largest family in Xianju Mountain; if we anger them, it might be impossible for us to leave here."

"Don't worry, I have my plan and know what to do. Just follow my instructions." Ye Guichen waved him away, signaling Gongyang Lang to leave.

Gongyang Lang dared not ask further questions and quickly turned to leave. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

But internally, he was filled with suspicion, wondering what had transpired earlier.

Gongyang Lang expected that after delivering this message, the Dongfang Family members would surely be enraged, possibly even wanting to fight them.

However, unexpectedly, Dongfang Ming did not get angry, but instead appeared extremely fearful and anxious.

"Please tell Mr. Ye again, we sincerely wish to befriend Mr. Ye, with no other intentions. Please don't misunderstand." Dongfang Ming tried to lower himself further, hoping Ye Guichen would notice his sincerity.

Seeing this, Gongyang Lang was utterly speechless, but recalling Ye Guichen's resolute attitude, he maintained a stern face and said, "Sorry, I have informed Mr. Ye as I should have, but he doesn't wish to meet with you. If you have any concerns, perhaps you should ask your clan leader when you return."

After speaking, Gongyang Lang closed the door.

Leaning against the door and listening for a while to ensure the Dongfang Family members had indeed left, Gongyang Lang let out a long sigh and quickly ran back to the Stargazing Tower.

"Mr. Ye, what exactly did you do to make the Dongfang Family so fearful? From their appearance, they seem very afraid of you." Gongyang Lang looked at Ye Guichen with burning eyes.

Ye Guichen chuckled lightly, "In fact, I didn't do much; the Dongfang Family members have ulterior motives, and I want to teach them a lesson. If their clan leader keeps trying to trouble me, I won't mind having them replace the clan leader."

"Replace the clan leader?" Gongyang Lang suddenly found his breathing somewhat rapid.

Were it not for the slowly building trust towards Ye Guichen, Gongyang Lang would think Ye Guichen had gone insane, speaking sheer fantasy.

What's the Dongfang Family?

The Dongfang Family's clan leader was an exceptionally transcendent existence.

Having them replace the clan leader was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

"Whew…" Gongyang Lang took a deep breath, seeing Ye Guichen so calm, knowing he didn't want to elaborate further, bowed and said, "Mr. Ye, if you have any instructions, please let me know. I'll take my leave now."

"Alright." Ye Guichen nodded, seemingly recalling something, then asked, "Oh, does the Chen Family have any valuables?"

"Oh, yes, they do." Gongyang Lang quickly replied, "After all, the Chen Family is a reclusive clan in Xianju Mountain; over the years, they've amassed many valuables, including some spirit pills, though they are far inferior to what Mr. Ye possesses."

Gongyang Lang spoke from the heart.

Ye Guichen also knew Gongyang Lang dared not deceive him, so he said, "If that's the case, take whatever you can use. If there's anything you can't decide on, come find me."

Gongyang Lang was delighted: "Thank you, Mr. Ye."

After saying that, he respectfully withdrew.

Once Gongyang Lang left, Ye Guichen's lips curved into a smile.

In fact, whatever the Chen Family had, now couldn't evade Ye Guichen's eyes.

As long as Ye Guichen wished, he could at any time observe the situation within Xianju Mountain.

Last night, Ye Guichen had also broadly scanned the Chen Family's situation.

Though the Chen Family's wealth was astronomical compared to some worldly wealthy families, in Ye Guichen's eyes, it was nothing special.

Not even possessing some decent pills, it's no wonder the Chen Family is at the bottom within Xianju Mountain.
