My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1194: Seven Bridges

Ren Wobai wouldn't tell anyone that Ye Sheng is actually Ye Guichen.

If it turns out that Ye Guichen is indeed the Son of Nether Emperor, that would make him the only one privy to this massive opportunity, which he naturally couldn't afford to miss.

Meanwhile, Ye Guichen returned to the Ghost Market, only to find it drastically changed.

Originally, the Ghost Market was quite noisy, although relatively peaceful, now it seemed more like a city.

Not only were there patrolling people, but both residents and vendors inside were very orderly.

As soon as Ye Guichen entered the Ghost Market, he was apprehended by the patrollers, questioning his background.

Ye Guichen didn't say much, directly stating, "I'm looking for Hua Xiangrong."

"You?" The patrol captain didn't recognize Ye Guichen and suspiciously eyed him: "Who are you?"

"Tell Hua Xiangrong, I am Ye Guichen."

"What? Ye, Ye Guichen?" The patrol captain's pupils contracted sharply.

He hadn't seen Ye Guichen, true, but the name was well-known.

In less than a month, he had turned the Ghost Market upside down, causing the Seven Kings' men severe casualties yet leaving them speechless.

Ultimately, he had dominated the Ghost Market entirely, sealing it off, leaving everyone helpless.

This guy was a super big shot!

Unexpectedly, the man himself was right here.

"Mr. Ye, please follow me!" The patrol captain, seeing his idol, spoke with a bit of a tremble, quickly leading Ye Guichen to the island in the lake's heart.

Once again encountering Hua Xiangrong, she seemed even more charming.

"Mr. Ye..." Hua Xiangrong immediately stood and saluted upon seeing Ye Guichen return, her attitude extremely respectful.

Ye Guichen nodded lightly, skipping the pleasantries: "Xianju Mountain is now my territory. I believe it won't take long before I can fully control it. Therefore, the Ghost Market should connect with Xianju Mountain in the future; don't completely isolate the Ghost Market."

Attempting to grow and expand, true isolation is undesirable.

Currently isolating the Ghost Market is just a temporary measure, but long-term it certainly isn't feasible.

If truly isolated, the Ghost Market might become everyone's target, potentially evoking dissatisfaction from many hidden secular families and sects, and even those within the Hidden Gate may unite against it.

Therefore, after some time of isolation, it can gradually be opened. By then, having fully integrated into the Dan Sect of the Hidden Gate, even if the Seven Kings learn about the Ghost Market, they won't be able to do anything about it.

Moreover, by then the Ghost Market will have established a close connection with Xianju Mountain, and relying on the power of Xianju Mountain's thirty-six families and the Ghost Market's strength, any hidden forces, whether secular or within the Hidden Gate, will have to think twice before acting.

Besides that, Ye Guichen's backhands in the vast deserts of the Western Border and Great Cold Mountain can also be utilized step-by-step.

I believe it won't take long for my power, centered on the Ghost Market and Xianju Mountain, to grow large enough that I can easily obliterate the Seven Kings without any strategies.

Of course, upon hearing Ye Guichen mention controlling Xianju Mountain, Hua Xiangrong couldn't conceal her shock.

She certainly knew of Xianju Mountain and was aware that among its thirty-six families, there were no less than a hundred Qi Refiners.

This power combined could even compare with a sect within the Hidden Gate.

And Ye Guichen achieved such accomplishments in the short time he'd been away?

Unimaginable!

Truly unimaginable!

Hua Xiangrong grew even more respectful: "I understand."

Ye Guichen nodded: "Good, actually today I only came to say one thing, I am going to the Hidden Gate, I am not sure when I will return. Develop the Ghost Market gradually until I come back, aim to surprise me when I return."

Then, Ye Guichen shared some upcoming plans with Hua Xiangrong, instructing her to open the sealed Ghost Market slowly as the development progresses in the coming years.

Naturally, Hua Xiangrong had no objections.

After finishing his instructions, Ye Guichen departed.

While returning through the tunnel connecting the secular world and the Ghost Market, a shadow slowly emerged beside Ye Guichen: "Mr. Ye, are you truly entering the Hidden Gate?"

Ye Guichen glanced at Gui Tuo: "Indeed, I've lingered outside too long. I am curious about the Hidden Gate and the current standing of the Seven Kings. Haha, ever since the Netherworld Emperor was slain, I've been branded the Son of Nether Emperor. If I don't do something, there's always a feeling of unease."

Gui Tuo said nothing more, only nodded gently: "Alright, I'll accompany you, no matter where you go."

Ye Guichen smiled: "Good!"

Gui Tuo disappeared once more, concealing himself.

Ye Guichen didn't worry about where Gui Tuo had gone.

Being a ghost, Gui Tuo's stealth was flawless, which made him one of Ye Guichen's major trump cards.

It's just unfortunate that Ye Guichen didn't have an excuse to visit the Carefree Sword Immortal's sword tomb and take two swords.

If he could, his bargaining chips would be greater.

But on second thought, a Heavy Sword and a Golden Snake Small Sword should suffice.

Standing out too much could invite unnecessary trouble.

As he pondered this, Ye Guichen exited the tunnel, meeting Ren Wobai waiting outside: "Senior Ren, it's done."

"Done?" Everyone was surprised: "Ye Sheng, how did you convince the people from the Ghost Market to let you through?"

Ye Guichen smiled: "Actually, it's very simple. Mo Changsheng, Elder Mo of our Penglai Pill Sect, stayed here for many years and became well-acquainted with the people inside. So, I just mentioned our Penglai Pill Sect, and they naturally didn't make things difficult for me."

"That simple?" Everyone seemed incredulous.

Ren Wobai's expression didn't change much, but inside he felt a bit pleased.

He certainly didn't believe it either.

If the Ghost Market would give face to the Penglai Pill Sect, why wouldn't they respect the Hidden Gate's Dan Sect's main sect?

That didn't make sense at all.

However, whether they believed it or not, no one would investigate further.

Ren Wobai's gaze towards Ye Guichen bore a hint of satisfaction.

This satisfaction was one of delight.

Ren Wobai even vaguely felt that he might rely on Ye Guichen to achieve great success.

...

Following that, the group proceeded smoothly without any further obstruction.

Yet, when Ye Guichen's group reached the place connecting the Ghost Market and the Hidden Gate, Ye Guichen couldn't help but marvel at the creator's wonders.

This place could indeed be described as a celestial bridge.

This celestial bridge wasn't like the urban pedestrian bridges, but a true celestial bridge in essence.

In front of Ye Guichen stretched a vast Changhe, endless at first glance, surging with waves, as if even a Qi Refiner falling in would have slim chances of survival.

However, atop this turbulent river were seven bridges.

The seven bridges had only one entrance from the Ghost Market side, while leading towards the Hidden Gate, they branched into seven paths.
