My Silly, Sweet Wife

Wenren Sangmu was scheming in his heart, but he knew deep down that Ye Guichen would probably come for him soon, and hiding here would only lead to a dead end.

After sending Wan Shu away, Wenren Sangmu had no time or inclination to watch Wan Shu become cannon fodder; he immediately hid his whereabouts and hurried back.

He wanted to personally inform King Qi of the events here, so King Qi could prepare early.

On the other side, Ye Guichen was not in a hurry to attack the Qin and Qi soldiers in Three Harmonies Valley.

He had Wei Changfeng's corpse sent back to make his appearance known and to warn King Qin and King Qi.

If they remained stubborn, he would surely kill them.

However, if they begged for mercy and surrendered, his battle power would increase accordingly.

Arriving ten miles away from Three Harmonies Valley, Ye Guichen ordered the ten thousand Qin soldiers to halt.

These ten thousand Qin soldiers had surrendered, but attacking the Qin soldiers stationed in Three Harmonies Valley would be awkward.

After all, they used to be comrades-in-arms, and mutual killing would inevitably be troublesome.

So, Ye Guichen decided to first target the Qi soldiers.

Whether Qin or Qi soldiers, the number of troops stationed in Three Harmonies Valley was not too many, and this ten thousand could easily deal with them.

However, Ye Guichen had a good impression of Bai Qi, the commander of the Qi soldiers, and did not wish to kill him.

"Send word to Bai Qi that Ye Guichen has arrived!" Ye Guichen directly issued the order, wanting to challenge Bai Qi, and if possible, to subdue him.

Just then, as the order was issued, a figure quickly approached them.

Before long, the person arrived before Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen immediately recognized Bai Qi.

Bai Qi was also taken aback upon seeing Ye Guichen.

He had fought against Ye Guichen before but only considered Ye Guichen as a master of the Dan God Sect, never associating him with the Son of the Nether Emperor.

Seeing Ye Guichen again, Bai Qi was obviously surprised, "Are you the Son of the Nether Emperor?"

Ye Guichen hadn't expected to encounter Bai Qi so soon, and just as he was preparing to respond, Xuanyuan Canghai, riding a black tiger, rushed straight up beside him and suddenly slapped Bai Qi.

Bai Qi was shocked and furious, raising his head in disbelief, "Is it, is it Uncle Xuanyuan? Are you still alive?"

"Bai Qi, I thought you had grown wings and no longer recognized me!" Xuanyuan Canghai snorted coldly, "I fought side by side with your father for the Nether Emperor. After the Emperor's death, your father followed him, and I vanished from the scene, yet never imagined you would throw your lot in with King Qi. Do you realize your wrongdoing?"

Bai Qi fell to his knees with a thud, "Uncle Xuanyuan, Bai Qi was unaware, Bai Qi knows his guilt, and hopes Uncle Xuanyuan will give me a chance to serve the Young Master like a loyal dog!"

Ye Guichen felt a wave of emotion upon seeing this.

Why do I keep running into familiar faces?

That Xuanyuan Canghai actually knew Bai Qi, what a coincidence!

However, it was naturally a good thing for Ye Guichen.

"Young Master, I apologize for offending you before, I hope you can forgive me!" Bai Qi raised his head, his eyes full of admiration for Ye Guichen.

He never expected that someone as young as the Young Master could fight him to a standstill, or even be slightly superior.

Given time, he might be able to easily defeat me, right?

Of course, Bai Qi didn't know that Ye Guichen could now kill him with one hand.

"Bai Qi, what happened? Why did you come out alone? What about those Qi soldiers?" Xuanyuan Canghai frowned, noticing Bai Qi alone.

Bai Qi quickly explained the situation.

Xuanyuan Canghai showed an expression of relief, "It seems you are not confused, since you know the Young Master is here. Why not quickly bring those Qi soldiers to surrender to the Young Master?"

Bai Qi looked troubled, "Uncle Xuanyuan, regardless, King Qi has treated me well. My leaving Three Harmonies Valley was my own choice, but if I also take the Qi soldiers away, leaving King Qi, it would be disloyal and unrighteous. I cannot comply with such a request!"

"What? Bai Qi, at this point you still speak of loyalty to King Qi? Are you trying to infuriate me?" Xuanyuan Canghai trembled with rage, wanting to hit again but was stopped by Ye Guichen, "Senior Xuanyuan, calm yourself."

"Young Master, this man is too irritating. His father died at the hands of the Seven Kings, although not by King Qi's hand, King Qi is still implicated. Now, he supports the wicked, aiding King Qi. Shouldn't he be punished?" Xuanyuan Canghai pointed at Bai Qi angrily.

Ye Guichen understood Bai Qi's thoughts and sighed, "Senior Xuanyuan, this actually demonstrates General Bai's integrity. If he was someone who betrayed his allegiance, he wouldn't be here alone now. Over the years, King Qi has treated him well. If he abandoned King Qi so decisively, instead I'd look down on him. So, please do not trouble him, I will handle the Qi soldiers myself."

"Young Master, you're still defending him?" Xuanyuan Canghai didn't expect Ye Guichen to say this and momentarily didn't know what to say.

Bai Qi also raised his head, incredulous, "Young Master, you…"

Ye Guichen shook his head and smiled, "It's alright, I understand my actions."

Bai Qi was moved, "Thank you, Young Master, for permitting me!"
