My Silly, Sweet Wife

Maintaining an air of profound mystery feels quite good.

Ye Guichen retrieved his puppet, leaving the remaining matters naturally for the Song Family to handle themselves.

What he had done was already his utmost limit.

The Song Family hadn’t expected Ye Guichen to say he would leave, but when they wanted to persuade him to stay, Ye Guichen had already vanished without a trace.

"Mr. Ye’s great kindness, we of the Song Family cannot forget." Mrs. Song forced herself to stand up: "Quickly, send someone immediately to set up a Longevity Temple dedicated to Mr. Ye’s statue, instruct the descendants, we must honor Mr. Ye for generations!"

Song Botong heard this and naturally promised eagerly.

Zuo Qiuyun witnessed this but felt a wave of lament.

The law of the Tao states that only an Immortal can receive offerings from humans.

And those offerings can be transformed into the Immortal’s mana.

However, if Ye Guichen were to be offered sacrifices, what would truly happen?

Zuo Qiuyun felt a twinge of envy.

Yet he also understood, even if Ye Guichen isn’t an Immortal now, he will become one sooner or later.

Such a person isn’t meant for the mundane world.

Ye Guichen, however, remained unaware of these matters.

He had spent quite some time in Taihe Town.

After finding Zhu Biao and Wei Lin, they left Taihe Town and arrived at the agreed location with Wen Ya and the others.

This was a desolate mountain thirty miles outside of Taihe Town.

The barren mountain wasn’t large, nor did it have many visitors.

According to Wen Ya and the others, this was roughly located between Taihe Town and the Qianji Sect.

Further ahead, they would be entering the territory of the Qianji Sect.

However, fearing that the Third Elder might secretly send assassins, Wen Ya and the others didn’t dare to rashly enter the Qianji Sect’s territory.

Yet, when Ye Guichen arrived at this nameless desolate mountain, he didn’t see Wen Ya and the others, only the traces of a battle on the mountain.

There were sword marks and rocks split into halves by sharp weapons.

"Could they have left long ago? Or did something unexpected occur?" The agreed one-month period with Ye Guichen had long passed.

Initially, Ye Guichen felt that even if the time had passed, Wen Ya and the others wouldn’t leave just like that.

However, unable to find anyone now, Ye Guichen hesitated.

If he went directly to the Qianji Sect, who would recognize him as the Sect Leader?

No, he wasn’t going to the Qianji Sect to be some damned Sect Leader, but to learn the Mechanical Techniques to increase his own strength, and along the way, help Wen Ya and the others deal with the Third Elder.

Back then, the Third Elder nearly killed his army of a hundred thousand.

"Zhu Biao, do you two know how to reach the Qianji Sect?" Ye Guichen hesitated slightly before asking.

Zhu Biao shook his head blankly: "The Qianji Sect is full of mechanisms, and it’s said that the entire Qianji Sect is within a giant mechanism. If you’re not one of the sect members, it’s hard for anyone to locate their specific whereabouts."

Ye Guichen frowned upon hearing this.

This indeed posed quite a dilemma.

However, just then, a sharp screech suddenly rang out.

Two enormous birds with wings spanning over thirty meters appeared in the sky.

The birds had four limbs, and a closer look revealed they were winged lions.

No, they were Thousand Mechanism Beasts!

From afar, Ye Guichen couldn’t sense any life energy from those two vast birds, and upon closer inspection, Ye Guichen recognized that they were Thousand Mechanism Beasts created by the Thousand Mechanism Skill.

"Chirp!"

"Chirp!"

The two Thousand Mechanism Beasts seemed to have also noticed Ye Guichen and his group, calling out twice before suddenly diving down, reaching out to grasp Ye Guichen and his entourage.

Their speed was swift as lightning.
