My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1177: Gathering the Clans

Ye Guichen naturally had his eyes on the Dongfang Clan Leader all along.

Little did he expect, the old fool wouldn't change his stubborn ways.

Given the chance, he still wouldn't seize it.

Since that's the case, he shouldn't blame me for being impolite.

Ye Guichen retracted his divine sense from observing the stars and descended the Stargazing Tower for the first time.

When he met Dongfang Yue again, she seemed somewhat haggard and even extremely reserved.

"Ye Guichen, are you deliberately avoiding me?" Dongfang Yue was now fixated on Ye Guichen, not caring about others' opinions anymore.

Especially since experts from other families had invaded in the past two days, even those at the gates had been killed, making Dongfang Yue admire Ye Guichen even more, completely captivated by him.

Gongyang Lang was no longer surprised by this.

Since Mr. Ye was an Immortal, being admired by beautiful women was nothing out of the ordinary.

If he wasn't admired by beautiful women, that would indeed be odd.

Ye Guichen just wanted to clarify things with Dongfang Yue.

He sighed, "Lady Dongfang Yue, we don't really know each other, and we haven't met many times. I am somewhat aware of your situation, but rest assured, if you sought me out to avoid the Yan King, there's no need. I can tell you, I have a way to make the Yan King retract his order, granting you your freedom."

At his words, Dongfang Yue teared up, "Ye Guichen, are you afraid of the Yan King, so you don't dare to be with me?"

Ye Guichen was speechless, "I told you, affection is a matter between two people, and I've never believed in love at first sight. More importantly, the relationship with my fiancée is very good."

"He's just a merchant in the mundane world, what does he have to compete with me!" Dongfang Yue was unconvinced.

Ye Guichen leisurely replied, "Lady Dongfang Yue, if you wish, I can make her as much a genius as you, even more so, do you believe it?"

At these words, Dongfang Yue was utterly stunned.

The statement was overwhelmingly bold.

Turning someone who has never practiced into a cultivation genius.

In others' eyes, it seemed as if it were a fantasy.

However, Dongfang Yue inexplicably believed somewhat.

She saw Ye Guichen wasn't joking.

He said this very seriously.

"Am I so insignificant in your eyes?" Dongfang Yue was finally heartbroken, "Alright, I will become even more dazzling, I will make you fall for me!"

She shouted, turned around, and ran outside.

Zhu'er stomped her foot, glared at Ye Guichen, and also turned to follow.

Ye Guichen smiled wryly.

Since ancient times, the sentimental are left with empty regret.

This lasting regret seems endless.

Ye Guichen now aspired to pursue the Immortal Cultivation Technique, finding no interest in matters of love.

A momentary thrill is just a quick pleasure, fundamentally meaningless.

Only the path to eternal life is the everlasting pursuit.

Suffering heartbreak once is better than a lifetime of heartbreak.

Explaining it clearly is naturally good as well.

Gongyang Lang stood aside, not daring to speak, only lightly sighed, feeling somewhat that Ye Guichen was a bit ruthless.

Someone like Dongfang Yue, a little beauty whom others would be eager to serve obediently.

But Ye Guichen cast her aside readily as if discarding a shoe.

Ah, perhaps this is just the difference in their levels.

"Gongyang Lang, the Dongfang Clan Leader will come tomorrow, prepare well, and we'll give him a big gift!" Ye Guichen pulled Gongyang Lang back from his thoughts.

By now Gongyang Lang was no longer surprised by Ye Guichen's predictive abilities, quickly nodding to agree, "What kind of gift does Mr. Ye wish to prepare?"

"Haha, kill the chicken to warn the monkey!" Ye Guichen revealed a meaningful smile, "You immediately make a trip now, notify all the families on Xianju Mountain, have them all come to the Chen Family. I want them to see who is the real master of Xianju Mountain!"

Gongyang Lang gave a shiver, his eyes brightened, seemingly understanding that Ye Guichen was about to do something big, immediately bowing, "Understood, this subordinate will handle it at once!"

Then, he turned and left quickly, tirelessly notifying the other families.

Ye Guichen squinted his eyes, a smile curled on his lips, "Dongfang Clan Leader, you wish to kill me? Haha, very well, then I shall let you try!"

...

Early the next morning.

The Chen Family became exceptionally lively.

Although Ye Guichen had killed many experts from the families, none dared to hold a grudge against him.

After all, Ye Guichen's methods were too terrifying.

"He Clan Patriarch, haha, I didn't expect you to come too!"

"Indeed, Nolan Clan Leader, I thought you would send someone, didn't expect you to come in person."

"Ah, it's more reassuring to come in person, hehe."

Someone laughed without speaking.

Everyone from each family was calculating their own little schemes.

Although they didn't know why Ye Guichen invited them to the Chen Family, no one dared to refuse.

If they refused, who knows if they'd be struck by lightning while sitting at home.

In that case, they wouldn't even have a place to cry.

Initially, many were afraid of danger, wishing to send representatives to meet Ye Guichen at the Chen Family, but eventually abandoned the idea.

Since Ye Guichen could use heavenly thunder, hiding at home wouldn't help.

If it was an invitation, it should not lead to killing.

Therefore, nearly every family leader personally brought people over, also bringing lavish gifts, hoping to associate with Ye Guichen.

In the entire Chen Family, only Gongyang Lang was present.

He didn't entertain anyone, yet the previously high-and-mighty clan leaders humbly bowed and greeted him, repeatedly nodding and inquiring about Ye Guichen's whereabouts.

Gongyang Lang, just a small Qi Refiner, once couldn't even raise his head in front of these clan heads, now enjoyed their favor, suddenly feeling a subtle sense of pride amidst his sentiments.

Ye Guichen sat in the center of the main hall, watching the constant influx of people outside, expressionless.

Xianju Mountain had a total of thirty-six families, akin to the number of celestial bodies.

The original Chen Family was considered the weakest, similar to about a dozen other families.

Among the top families, aside from the Dongfang Family, there were two others, with the surnames Murong and Xuanyuan.

Although curious why all the stronger families on Xianju Mountain bore compound surnames, Ye Guichen didn't worry about it.

As the morning neared ten o'clock, nearly all families had arrived, with gifts filling the courtyard.

Though the Dongfang Family still hadn't arrived.

"Mr. Ye, seeing your prowess today is indeed a fortune for us!" Nolan Clan Leader stood up first, clasping his hands toward Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen smiled faintly, "Earlier, regrettably, I had to kill your Nolan Family's third-level Qi Refiner expert. I hope Nolan Clan Leader does not take offense!"

Nolan Clan Leader's mouth twitched, yet he dared not show any dissatisfaction, "Haha, Mr. Ye, you're truly polite. Mr. Ye is accomplished at a young age, we were merely misguided then, ashamed we are!"
