My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 371: Beneath the Rockery


"Master Feng?" Ye Guichen was taken aback, but quickly understood.

It seemed the woman in front of him had misunderstood.

Master Feng was likely the patriarch of the Feng Family and also Feng Wuji's father.

In such large families, though they might appear harmonious on the outside, internal strife was inevitable.

Apart from Feng Wuji's grandfather, the Feng Family had two sons, but the Second Young Master Feng had no sons, so he was eager to have one.

With a little thought, Ye Guichen vaguely guessed Liu Ruyi's relationship with the Feng Family.

If Feng Wuji didn't know about this gambling house, it was very likely Second Young Master Feng's hidden treasury.

However, Ye Guichen wasn't inclined to intervene in the Feng Family's affairs.

He had a decent relationship with Feng Wuji, but not to the extent of getting involved in their family's issues.

"I'm here to see Mr. Liu." Ye Guichen shook his head gently. "I'm not that close with the Feng Family."

As he spoke, he removed the dagger from Xiao Tong's neck.

Xiao Tong was startled and quickly opened the door and rushed out. "Hurry, attack!"

Upon hearing this, the men raised their clubs and charged forward.

Ti'er Taoist remained expressionless, flicking his horsetail whisk and sending a burly man flying out of the doorway.

The man, who weighed nearly two hundred pounds, was thrown more than ten meters away, and his bones seemed to break, as he didn't get up after falling.

The others were stunned, not expecting the Taoist to be so powerful.

Xiao Tong was also astonished.

The strength of that flick was far greater than hers.

Seeing that no one else dared to move, Ye Guichen smiled faintly. "I'll say it again, I'm not here to kill anyone today. I just need to ask Mr. Liu something, and then I'll leave."

Xiao Tong still didn't lower his guard against Ye Guichen, but he was somewhat apprehensive.

Neither Ye Guichen nor Ti'er Taoist were opponents he could deal with.

Liu Ruyi also furrowed her brows. "What do you want to ask?"

"You know?"

"I am Mr. Liu." Liu Ruyi didn't hide it.

In the current situation, there seemed to be no point in hiding.

Ye Guichen was taken aback again, not expecting Mr. Liu who controlled this gambling house to be a woman.

He then nodded slightly. "I'm looking for Wen Daoxian."

"Hmm?" Liu Ruyi's pupils shrank. "Do you have a grudge against Wen Daoxian?"

"That's none of your concern. Just tell me where he is, and the rest has nothing to do with you."

"I can't say." Liu Ruyi shook her head. "You should know, he is a member of the Azure Dragon Commerce, currently staying with me. It's my duty to protect him. If something happens to him, I can't explain it to the Azure Dragon Commerce."

"Haha, does the Feng Family need to fear the Azure Dragon Commerce?" Ye Guichen chuckled disdainfully.

The Feng Family, based in Yanjing and being one of the rare affluent families, wouldn't be too concerned with the Azure Dragon Commerce. If conflicts arose, both sides would only suffer losses.

The Azure Dragon Commerce wouldn't gain any advantages.

Liu Ruyi didn't expect Ye Guichen to know so much and bit her lip. "What's your relationship with Feng Wuji?"

She now recognized that Ye Guichen was the one who had entered the gambling house with Feng Wuji earlier.

The Feng Family's eldest and second masters weren't on good terms, and Feng Wuji was the eldest master's son. If they knew this was Second Young Master Feng's property, it was unlikely they wouldn't act.

After some thought, Ye Guichen said, "You should know about Feng Wuji's previous impotence issues. I helped him."

"You're the Divine Doctor?" Liu Ruyi was surprised. "You're really not here to kill me?"

"I told you, I'm here for Wen Daoxian!" Ye Guichen was tired of wasting words, but seeing Liu Ruyi's concerns, he added, "Don't worry. If the Azure Dragon Commerce causes you trouble, come find me. I'll ensure your safety!"

Liu Ruyi, hearing this, instinctively glanced at Ti'er Taoist.

These two were clearly strong and not to be trifled with.

And Ye Guichen was the Divine Doctor who helped Feng Wuji!

Liu Ruyi's eyes flickered; this might be an opportunity.

By helping Wen Daoxian, she was just leaving herself a safety net. But Ye Guichen seemed to have a good relationship with Feng Wuji, so if the Feng Family's eldest and second masters turned on each other, she would have another escape route.

After some thought, Liu Ruyi felt it wasn't worth offending Ye Guichen for Wen Daoxian.

"Xiao Tong, take him." After instructing Xiao Tong, Liu Ruyi added, "But we know nothing about this."

Ye Guichen nodded. "Understood."

Xiao Tong, seeing that Liu Ruyi had spoken, was secretly pleased. She had always felt that keeping Wen Daoxian here was a risk, and now that trouble had come, she was naturally happy.

Wen Daoxian's residence wasn't far, just relatively hidden.

Wen Daoxian lived in the basement of an ordinary house.

Arriving at the fake mountain where Ye Guichen had previously hidden, Xiao Tong pointed at a stone. "There's an underground passage here. Once you open it, there's an entrance. Wen Daoxian lives inside."

"Quite hidden." Ye Guichen nodded, not fearing any tricks from Liu Ruyi, and had Ti'er Taoist open the dark passage.

As the stone turned, the fake mountain rumbled, splitting open to reveal a hidden path.

However, Wen Daoxian was very wary.

Hearing the sound of the fake mountain moving, two men leaped out, attacking Ti'er Taoist.

Ti'er Taoist was prepared, his horsetail whisk flicking twice, sending the two figures flying.

The two figures fell into the pond outside the fake mountain with loud splashes, and blood quickly stained the small pond.

Xiao Tong turned to look and was shocked again.

The two men in the pond were motionless, seemingly dead.

They were killed so easily despite the ambush.

It seemed those men were truly hostile!

"Who dares to seek death!"

Another angry voice came from the underground passage.

Soon, four or five more figures emerged.

Seeing their dead companions, their faces darkened. "Kill!"

They raised their weapons and charged at Ti'er Taoist.

Ye Guichen showed no intention of action, smiling coldly. "Leave no survivors. I'll go take a look inside."

He then walked towards the underground passage.

The others wanted to stop him, but Ti'er Taoist kept them at bay effortlessly.

Ti'er Taoist fought the four or five men single-handedly without breaking a sweat.

Ye Guichen easily entered the underground passage.

The passage was deep, winding until it reached a spacious room of over a hundred square meters.

The room was well-furnished, and Su Jiu'er was tied to a chair, drowsy.

"Kid, I'm surprised you found me so quickly!"

A voice rang out.
