My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1071: Intercepted on the Road

Ye Guichen's appearance directly shattered Wen Cangfeng's hope.

He himself didn't realize that he had slowly begun to see Ye Guichen as an enemy.

Chu Tiannan was completely unaware of Wen Cangfeng's internal changes. Hearing his words, Chu Tiannan felt that Wen Cangfeng made sense, and nodded at Jin Ling: "Jin Ling, I'll leave Ye Guichen in your care now. Remember, his safety is more important than anything else."

Jin Ling, despite not being very willing, had no reason to refuse at this moment, so she nodded in agreement.

"Come with me!" Jin Ling glanced at Ye Guichen, then turned around and left.

Ye Guichen helplessly clasped his hands towards Chu Tiannan, intending to explain a bit more and say that he was fine, but Chu Tiannan did not give him a chance, so he had no choice but to follow Jin Ling.

"Ye Guichen, I actually had a good impression of you initially for helping us capture the White-haired Zombie, but now I really dislike you!"

As soon as they left, Jin Ling bluntly said: "You know, over the years, Brother Wen has been trying to impress Lord Military God, often neglecting the Gu Family and staying up all night, which has become a norm. In all our minds, Brother Wen will ultimately succeed the Military God, but your appearance shattered this hope. On what grounds?"

Saying this, Jin Ling stopped, placed her hands on her hips, and glared at Ye Guichen: "I know your cultivation is high, but is becoming the Military God merely about cultivation? When it comes to leadership skills, in what aspect do you surpass Brother Wen?"

It seemed the longer she spoke, the angrier she became, as Jin Ling's cheeks slowly turned red: "Ye Guichen, why aren't you speaking up? Let me warn you, even if you're valued by Lord Military God and become his disciple, don't dream about replacing him. In the hearts of us Thirteen Grand Protectors, even if Lord Military God steps down, the next Military God can only be Brother Wen, no one else!"

Ye Guichen chuckled bitterly: "I haven't said a word, you've said it all. Besides, you saw what happened today; it's Master Chu who insisted on recognizing me as his disciple!"

"Hmph! Getting benefits and still acting self-righteous!" Jin Ling grew increasingly annoyed with Ye Guichen, feeling that he was hypocritical, receiving such a significant advantage and yet making nonchalant remarks.

Seeing his explanations were futile, Ye Guichen decided to stop explaining and instead asked: "Then where are we headed next?"

"First, I'll keep you safe like a caged bird!" Jin Ling replied, exasperated.

Ye Guichen saw Jin Ling was upset, knowing it was pointless to ask, so he kept silent.

Jin Ling drove an ordinary sedan.

However, as soon as Ye Guichen sat in the car, he felt someone staring at him from behind.

Jin Ling clearly did not notice anything unusual, she simply ignored Ye Guichen and accelerated the car, speeding like lightning.

Soon, Ye Guichen noticed through the rearview mirror a sports utility vehicle following at a steady distance; when Jin Ling sped up, they sped up, and when she slowed down, they did too.

"Interesting!" Although unclear who they were, Ye Guichen's first thought was that they were after him.

If he guessed correctly, it should be Fang Tiancheng.

As someone from King Qin's side, Fang Tiancheng wouldn't let it go like this. If he didn't bring Ye Guichen back, he wouldn't be able to explain to King Qin.

"Jin Ling, there's a tail behind us." In the passenger seat, Ye Guichen leaned against the seat and casually mentioned.

Jin Ling was taken aback, glanced suspiciously at Ye Guichen, then quickly checked the rearview mirror, her expression changed slightly: "Hmph!"

Squeak...!

Jin Ling showed no intentions of losing the tail; instead, she abruptly braked.

The car was going too fast, and the sudden braking almost threw Ye Guichen out due to immense inertia.

Luckily, Ye Guichen was wearing his seatbelt, otherwise he would've been thrown out.

Luckily, the road wasn't crowded, otherwise, other cars would have been hit.

"Damn, are you crazy woman?" Ye Guichen couldn't help but curse.

Jin Ling scoffed: "Under Military God's command, there are no cowards. Since we have a tail, why not get rid of it directly? Hmph, Ye Guichen, with such courage, do you really deserve to follow Lord Military God?"

Clearly, those were words said in anger.

Ye Guichen was speechless.

Never did he imagine Jin Ling would pull such a stunt.

Fine, do whatever you want.

Ye Guichen was not interested in arguing with Jin Ling anymore, he stayed silent, curling himself up in the seat.

The car behind didn't expect Jin Ling would suddenly stop.

But the driver was evidently skilled, almost simultaneously performing a side overtaking maneuver as Jin Ling stopped, blocking her car from the front.

Soon, three people in black robes stepped out from the car.

They had a golden "Qin" character embroidered on their chests, resembling ancient people rather than modern ones.

Not only that, each carried two swords on their backs, their aura was formidable, at least at the level of a Half-step Master.

Seeing their attire, Jin Ling raised her brow: "Are you King Qin's men?"

"Heh, little girl, at least you're not dumb!" The three robed figures remained silent, another person got off the car, none other than Fang Tiancheng, who left earlier.

Upon seeing Fang Tiancheng, Jin Ling's face turned somber: "Mr. Fang, this is still Hua Country, our territory. Aren't you afraid of Lord Military God's wrath if you act so hastily and end up stuck here forever?"

Fang Tiancheng laughed wildly: "Little girl, aren't you overestimating yourself? Once you're dead, who would know it's us who killed you? Besides, I've warned Chu Tiannan, if he wishes to be the babysitter, he should know the consequences of a babysitter."

Then, he pointed to the car: "Look, that kid is so scared he doesn't even dare to get out of the car; it's surprising to me that such a person is under Chu Tiannan's protection."

Jin Ling glanced at Ye Guichen and saw him sitting in the car, acting unconcerned.

All good feelings vanished instantly.

"This man only cares for himself, how could he be valued by Lord Military God?"

With a sigh, Jin Ling drew her whip: "Then there's nothing more to say, let's fight!"

"Haha, good one, in that case, don't blame us for showing no mercy!" This time, Fang Tiancheng had no intention of sparing Jin Ling, not only did he want to kill Jin Ling, but he also wanted to take Ye Guichen away.

Once reaching the hidden sect, no matter how far Chu Tiannan's reach was, would it suffice?

The three robed men quickly surrounded Jin Ling.

Jin Ling's cultivation was only at a Half-step Master level, but she was a Gu Master, proficient in using Gu techniques.

However, under such circumstances, Jin Ling had no chance of winning.

Jin Ling knew that if it truly came to a fight today, she was bound to die, but if she didn't fight back, was she expected to wait for death?
