My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1151: Chu Liuxiang, Fatty Chu?
Dongfang Hong didn't mind and instead laughed: "Young Ye, the talented men that have come to propose to Lady Yue lately probably number no less than eighty to a hundred. However, the Dongfang Family has set test content, and only those who pass the test are qualified to meet Lady Dongfang Yue."
Speaking of this, Dongfang Hong's lips curled into a meaningful smile: "Though, I do happen to know one or two of those test contents..."
The words behind weren't spoken, but Ye Guichen couldn't miss the implication in Dongfang Hong's words.
He was hoping for Ye Guichen to bribe him so he could divulge the test contents and cheat.
Ye Guichen laughed quietly: "I told you, I'm not interested in your family's lady, so I'm not interested in the test content either."
Dongfang Hong couldn't possibly believe Ye Guichen's words. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
He assumed Ye Guichen was just pretending to be reserved, elevating his status.
After all, when faced with the Dongfang Family's lady, hardly anyone could refuse.
Not even Ye Guichen!
"Haha, you'll change your mind!" Dongfang Hong didn't persuade further, but rather walked towards the door.
Ye Guichen ignored Dongfang Hong and followed him inside the door.
"Second Elder has returned."
"Second Elder..."
As they entered, someone quickly greeted Dongfang Hong.
Ye Guichen witnessed firsthand the kind of scene truly present inside a wealthy family.
One word: luxurious.
Of course, this opulence wasn't just in the scale; even the floor was laid with jade. Absolutely extravagant.
But, there were many gathered within the Dongfang Family, plenty of young men dressed in elegant clothes.
Dongfang Hong casually pointed out to Ye Guichen, saying: "Haha, see them? Those are the young men wanting to pass the test, all enchanted by Yue'er. Our Dongfang Family almost daily sees young geniuses coming to take the test, just to win Yue'er's smile."
Ye Guichen couldn't care less, instead, responded: "None of this concerns me, but Elder Dongfang, if you don't mind, could you tell me who's whispering behind your back? I happen to be vengeful, and anyone plotting against me won't live peacefully."
Surprisingly, Dongfang Hong glanced at Ye Guichen: "Haha, young man, you figured it out. But even if the other party is powerful, our Dongfang Family doesn't care. I don't mind telling you, it's Japan's Iaido and the overseas God Worship Sect. Two of them are hidden on Xianju Mountain, but I'm not telling you exactly where."
Clearly, Dongfang Hong didn't take those two seriously either.
A flash of realization crossed Ye Guichen's eyes.
Then, he quickly asked: "Elder Dongfang, since you don't take them seriously, why go to the Chen Family? Haha, surely without sufficient benefits, you wouldn't go to such lengths, right?"
"Tsk tsk, young Ye, you are truly clever." Dongfang Hong again expressed surprise: "Since you've taken the talk this far, I won't hide it."
He didn't seem to take Ye Guichen seriously at all.
Ye Guichen didn't mind his attitude, adopting a listening posture.
Dongfang Hong said: "The other party claims you possess a valuable sword, accompanied by a highly domineering cultivation technique. I was curious, so I went."
Then, he pointed to the Immortal Slayer Sword in Ye Guichen's hand: "I haven't seen it myself, but this sword does look good. I like it. Whenever you feel like gifting it to me, I will owe you a favor. Haha, of course, you could choose not to, but..."
Dongfang Hong didn't continue, but the threat was obvious.
"Alright, I've said what I had to say. Think about it. A sword and a cultivation technique in exchange for the Chen Family's dependence on me, this deal is worth it." Without further acknowledgment of Ye Guichen, Dongfang Hong directly left, leaving Ye Guichen there alone.
But Ye Guichen understood clearly.
Dongfang Hong was merely suggesting Ye Guichen hand over the Immortal Slayer Sword to him, using the opportunity to attach himself to the Dongfang Family, promising protection for the Chen Family.
Greed, truly, is human nature, even a super hidden wealthy family like the Dongfang Family is no exception.
Ye Guichen sighed, not taking Dongfang Hong's words to heart at all.
This Immortal Slayer Sword was the Carefree Sword Immortal's favorite. Since Ye Guichen inherited the legacy of the Carefree Sword Immortal, how could he casually damage the Carefree Sword Immortal's reputation?
Seeing no one paying attention to him, as if no one considered him significant, Ye Guichen walked over to where the group of young men was.
As Ye Guichen approached, many of them showed signs of vigilance.
Their eyes towards Ye Guichen were filled with hostility.
Only a chubby guy was extremely enthusiastic, walking to Ye Guichen and patting him on the shoulder: "Hey, brother, you wanna try the test too?"
Ye Guichen didn't speak, just smiled slightly.
The chubby guy reckoned Ye Guichen had tacitly agreed, introducing himself: "Brother, my name is Chu Liuxiang. I'm also planning to try the test. Hehe, if I succeed, I can become the Dongfang Family's son-in-law. Then, I'll be able to summon the wind and rain as I please."
"Chu, give it up. With your skills, you think you can succeed? Tsk, alright, stepping back ten thousand steps, even if you succeed, looking at your chubby appearance, Yue'er wouldn't fancy you?"
Upon hearing the chubby guy's braggadocio, someone immediately mocked.
The chubby guy didn't like it at all: "Shen Junwen, you're so good-looking! You look like a skinny monkey, and you're saying about me? Hehe, if Yue'er doesn't like me, she certainly won't like you."
"Chu Liuxiang, you're asking for it!" Shen Junwen's face turned red, wanting to strike.
Someone nearby immediately pulled them apart.
"Alright, this is the Dongfang Family, watch yourselves. If you really start fighting, the Dongfang Family will directly cancel your competition qualifications."
The two immediately cooled.
They worked hard to get this qualification; losing it would be a huge loss.
Ye Guichen listened on the side, breaking a small sweat.
Is this Dongfang Yue woman so sought after?
Does she look as magnificent as Daji, or does she carry some fragrance?
"Brother, don't listen to that Shen guy's nonsense." Chu Liuxiang refocused on Ye Guichen: "By the way, what's your name? We can team up later."
Looking at Chu Liuxiang's plump face, Ye Guichen suddenly remembered the suave guy from TV, his lips twitching slightly.
Of all names, he had to be Chu Liuxiang.
With a silent rant, Ye Guichen cupped his fists with a smile: "Oh, my name is Ye Guichen. I'm not here for any competition today, just came to have a look."
"Hehe, Brother Ye, come on, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Chu Liuxiang didn't believe Ye Guichen at all, thinking Ye Guichen was shy and making excuses.
Ye Guichen didn't explain further, just smiled indifferently, looking at the dozen or so youth present, curiously asking: "Are these people all here for the competition?"
"Of course, becoming the Dongfang Family's son-in-law isn't easy. Also, Dongfang Yue is regarded as Xianju Mountain's number one beauty. She was fancied by many before she even came of age. To find a fiancé for Dongfang Yue, the Dongfang Family spared no effort, specifically finding experts to design three test contents."
Chu Liuxiang was indeed talkative, even before Ye Guichen asked more, he finished everything he knew like pouring beans.
Upon hearing this, Ye Guichen became interested.
