My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1074: Speculation

Jin Ling, hearing the indignation of those around her, timidly said, "Actually, Ye Guichen's martial talent is really high. Besides capturing the white-haired zombie, he's also really strong against enemies. Just two hours ago, we encountered King Qin's black blade men, and I thought I was going to die, but then..."

Jin Ling didn't hide anything and recounted how Ye Guichen had directly taken down three black-robed men at that time.

After listening, all the Grand Protectors frowned one by one.

The monk was somewhat disbelieving, "That strong? Hmph, I know that King Qin's black blade men aren't opponents that ordinary martial artists can deal with, especially when they join forces. Their blades can supposedly have enhancing effects. It's said that their blades are engraved with array patterns; I wonder if that's true."

"Yes, it is. Just wait a moment." After Jin Ling left, she didn't take long before running back, but when she returned, she had three long blades in her hand.

The blades were over three feet long, and their texture wasn't the same as ordinary steel blades.

With just a light touch, they even emitted a buzzing sound.

Upon closer inspection, the surface of the steel blade was densely engraved with numerous patterns.

"So these are the blades of King Qin's black blade men?" Upon seeing the three blades, all the Grand Protectors were stunned.

Wen Cangfeng was also visibly surprised. He snatched one from Jin Ling's hand, examined it briefly, and with eyes filled with excitement, said, "No doubt about it, this is indeed the slicing pattern blade of King Qin's black blade men. It's said to be crafted using special techniques, made exclusively by array pattern masters."

"Array pattern master? What is that?" Most people were baffled upon hearing this strange term.

Wen Cangfeng explained, "According to what we have gathered over the years, the Hidden Sect is a faction stronger than our martial community, with Grandmasters aplenty and Great Grandmasters not uncommon. They rely not only on their own strength in battles but also on external forces. These array pattern masters enhance the combat power of martial artists. They make weapons sharper and more durable through engraving techniques."

Weighing the slicing pattern blade in his hand, Wen Cangfeng marveled, "After all these years, I never thought we would get our hands on an array blade like this. We must study it well, Jin Ling, you've done a great service this time."

Wen Cangfeng seemed only focused on the slicing pattern blade, not mentioning Ye Guichen.

Jin Ling was surprised by Wen Cangfeng's words: "Brother Wen, according to you, even if those three black blade men were only at the Half-step Master Realm, with this blade they could still exert the power of a Grandmaster?"

"That's probably true." Wen Cangfeng didn't deny it.

"Then, Ye Guichen barely acted at that time, and the three black blade men were killed. Doesn't that mean his strength far surpasses the Grandmaster Realm? Such means, I'm afraid even Lord Military God couldn't achieve," suggested Jin Ling, drawing the attention of all Grand Protectors to her.

Wen Cangfeng closed his mouth and stayed silent.

The monk snorted coldly, "Jin Ling, I am simple-minded, and I have no idea of these intricacies. Perhaps he used some means at that time."

"No, it might have something to do with Gui Tuo," Wen Cangfeng raised his hand to stop the monk's doubts and repeated what Gui Tuo said before leaving: "Everyone knows that Gui Tuo's ghostly illusion techniques are unfathomable. Because he is a ghostly spirit, sudden attacks are his forte. Now it seems, Gui Tuo was assisting Ye Guichen."

Although Wen Cangfeng acknowledged that Ye Guichen had the skill to capture the white-haired zombie, there had to be a limit to his strength. How could he have exterminated three black blade men without much effort?

There's definitely a reason involving Gui Tuo.

Everyone agreed that Wen Cangfeng made a valid point.

"If that's the case, it makes sense. But if Gui Tuo really intended to help Ye Guichen, could it be that Lord Military God also intends to use Ye Guichen to deliberately divert others' attention?"

Someone whispered a suggestion.

Wen Cangfeng's eyes suddenly brightened at the words.

Returning from Chu Tiannan, he felt as if something was blocked inside him, causing discomfort.

He couldn't understand why Chu Tiannan was determined to accept Ye Guichen, let alone oppose King Qin.

If Gui Tuo is involved, it might explain things.

Gui Tuo's role as Grand Protector was initially because Chu Tiannan saved his life. To repay the debt, he's working for him and became a Grand Protector.

With that in mind, Chu Tiannan surely knows Gui Tuo better.

Perhaps Gui Tuo had met with Chu Tiannan long ago, which might be why Chu Tiannan favored Ye Guichen so much.

"Brother Wen, as a practitioner, do you think it's possible that reincarnation exists?" Cai You asked thoughtfully.

Wen Cangfeng silently regretted not having informed Chu Tiannan sooner about Gui Tuo's departure, but now it's too late. He nodded slightly at Cai You's question, "Indeed, in the history of the Dao Sect, there have been instances of borrowed rebirth. But Gui Tuo is different; his constitution is extremely special. Even after so many years, I haven't figured out his exact spiritual body. Yet, if he finds a suitable body, Gui Tuo might very well reincarnate in another form."

The crowd, upon hearing this, had eyes that gleamed.

"Could it be that Gui Tuo intends to reincarnate using Ye Guichen?"

"If that's the case, everything makes sense!"

"Yes, with Grand Protector Gui Tuo's abilities, if he truly reincarnated, even Lord Military God might need to show respect!"

"That's why Lord Military God chose Ye Guichen as a disciple, secretly accepting Gui Tuo as well?"

"Whew, it seems Ye Guichen was merely selected for this purpose."

The monk turned to Jin Ling, "Jin Ling, you were almost deceived by Ye Guichen. How could he have such abilities to kill three black blade men effortlessly? If Gui Tuo assisted secretly, it all makes sense."

Jin Ling's eyes flickered.

She never expected such a conclusion.

Yet, it also seemed the most reasonable explanation.

Could it be that Gui Tuo left because he favored Ye Guichen's body?

Jin Ling couldn't help but feel sorry for Ye Guichen.

Young and capable, yet too ostentatious, drawing envy from others.

But on second thought, in this world, the strong prey on the weak; perhaps this was an inevitable ending.

Ye Guichen had no idea that a simple act on his part had sparked so much discussion among Wen Cangfeng and the others.

Despite being in an unfamiliar environment, Ye Guichen never had trouble sleeping and was sound asleep.

Sleeping peacefully until about 2 AM, Ye Guichen suddenly felt the air around him become much colder.

His sharp senses made Ye Guichen open his eyes.

Ye Guichen looked outside the villa, a subtle smile appearing on the corners of his mouth, "For someone to enter the array so easily, they must be quite skilled!"
