My Silly, Sweet Wife

The ears twitched slightly, only to hear the sound of heavy footsteps rushing towards where he was.

Ye Guichen withdrew his thoughts and said to Chen Liu, "Someone’s coming, and it seems they’re not friendly."

Upon hearing Ye Guichen’s words, Chen Liu’s expression changed suddenly, as if he thought of something. Anxiously, he said to Ye Guichen, "Mr. Ye, you stay in the secret chamber first. I’ll go out and take a look."

Chen Liu walked out of the secret chamber, bringing Zhu Biao and Wei Lin inside as well, and conveniently closed the door with a loud bang.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Someone outside kicked open the door, and it flew off its hinges at once.

Chen Liu looked at the person in front of him, saying gloomily, "Fang Hai, what are you doing here!"

At this point, Chen Liu hadn’t noticed the Third Elder standing outside the door, and his anger began to rise uncontrollably.

Fang Hai was the nephew of the Third Elder. Under the Third Elder’s protection, he acted as a bully within the Qianji Sect, lusting after women, and many female disciples of the sect suffered at his hands, daring to be angry but not to speak out.

"What am I doing here? Of course, I’m here to catch demons!" Fang Hai said with a playful look at Chen Liu.

Hearing Fang Hai’s words, Chen Liu’s heart tightened, and his expression became tense. He shouted, "What nonsense are you talking! How could there be demons here."

"Whether there are or not isn’t for you to decide. Search the place!" Fang Hai waved his hand, and people behind him swarmed into the house.

"Fang Hai, you dare to intrude without permission. Be careful, I’ll report to the Sect Leader," Chen Liu shouted.

Hearing Chen Liu’s words, everyone paused for a moment.

At that moment, a voice filled with authority sounded from behind them: "Chen Liu, the gate-keeping disciple said you brought demons into the Qianji Sect without permission, are you aware of your crime?"

Upon hearing the voice from afar, a surge of anger rose within Chen Liu’s heart. If not for his elegant senior sister and Senior Brother Xiang Yun, they wouldn’t have been imprisoned in the dungeon, suffering hellish torment every day.

"You say there are demons here, what evidence do you have!" Chen Liu said calmly.

The Third Elder stepped forward, glancing at someone behind him, and a person stepped out from the crowd.

"Tell us, what did you see?" The Third Elder looked at the person with a mocking smile.

The two had long colluded, and the guard, facing Chen Liu, looked at the Third Elder, his heart settling, and spoke loudly, "Reporting to the Third Elder, I saw Senior Brother Chen bringing someone radiating demonic aura into the Qianji Sect without the Sect Leader’s permission."

Hearing the guard’s words, Chen Liu knew that no matter how he defended himself, it was useless. The Third Elder came today with the intention of killing Ye Guichen.

"Search!" Fang Hai waved his hand, and the footsteps that had paused at the door immediately surged forward, overturning and searching the entire house.

But the group searched the entire house and found no trace of the Demon Clan.

Chen Liu could only secretly pray in his heart that they wouldn’t discover the secret chamber, subconsciously glancing towards where Ye Guichen was.

This glance was captured by the Third Elder, who had a triumphant smile at the corner of his mouth. He whispered a few words into Fang Hai’s ear.

Fang Hai quickly stepped forward, approaching the secret chamber, and prepared to turn the stone.

Seeing this, Chen Liu was frantic and summoned the Iron Armor Man from his body to stop Fang Hai.

After returning to the Qianji Sect from the northern wastelands, Chen Liu diligently researched the Thousand Mechanism Skill, and after several days, he finally managed to craft this Iron Armor Man, whose cultivation had reached the second level of the Golden Core.

Chen Liu formed a seal with his mouth, and the Iron Armor Man received the guidance, raising his fist, the wind from its punch heading towards Fang Hai.

Fang Hai sensed the danger from behind and abruptly halted, dodging to the side, narrowly avoiding the punch.

He then looked at Chen Liu with a vicious gaze, as if wanting to burn him to ashes: "Good! Chen Liu, you disregard the sect rules and harm your fellow members, do you know the crime? I’ll execute you on the spot."

Saying that, he swiftly summoned an Iron Armor Man from behind him as well, and this Iron Armor Man had already reached the third level of the Golden Core, its power surpassing Chen Liu’s Iron Armor Man by one level.

With a playful expression, Fang Hai waved his hand, and the Iron Armor Man headed straight for Chen Liu, seemingly about to smash his head with a single punch.

Seeing this, Chen Liu quickly commanded his Iron Armor Man to block in front of him.

"Bang!"

The Iron Armor Man’s chest instantly caved in, and it was pushed back, crashing directly into Chen Liu, who spat blood, despairingly looking at Fang Hai.

"Useless!" Fang Hai said disdainfully, looking at Chen Liu, who had lost his fighting capability.

Those around, seeing Chen Liu in such a miserable state, all showed mocking eyes.

Fang Hai’s gaze returned to the stone, and with a twist, the secret chamber door slowly opened.

The Third Elder’s eyes were fixed intently on the open chamber door, eagerly trying to spot Ye Guichen’s figure. Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he saw a figure smiling at him.

"Long time no see, Third Elder!" Ye Guichen waved his hand chest-high at the Third Elder.

"Boy, there’s a road to heaven but you don’t follow it, a door to hell and yet you choose to come. Did you come alone to Qianji Sect because your life is too long?" The Third Elder looked at Ye Guichen, brimming with confidence.

"In the northern wastelands, you already fled once. Do you plan to repeat your mistakes?" Ye Guichen said playfully, looking at the Third Elder.
