My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 963: Lu Dahu

Under the guidance of a woman named Sun Li, Ye Guichen rode a fast horse across the desert. After galloping for over an hour, he finally reached the main camp where Hua Heshang resided.

From a distance, Ye Guichen saw a large oasis. Around the oasis, there were wooden houses constructed, resembling a mountain fortress.

"Hehe, this Hua Heshang certainly knows how to pick a location!"

Ye Guichen didn't rush to approach, instead, he observed from afar.

There were approximately hundreds of people, scattered about, and upon closer inspection, it became evident that although those houses appeared to be built around the oasis, there was still a certain distance between them.

If his guess was correct, the spaces between were likely where different groups of people were situated.

Hua Heshang's people were originally gathered from many small groups across the vast desert, and with Hua Heshang, a martial arts expert, providing oversight, everyone lived in peace.

Now, if they knew Hua Heshang was dead, these people might end up fighting amongst themselves.

"Mr. Ye, what do you plan to do?" Sun Li, having witnessed Ye Guichen's skills, found him increasingly pleasing to look at.

The saying "beauty loves a hero" was certainly true.

Although the Heartless Sect preached indifference and lovelessness towards men, Sun Li was in the prime of her youth. How could she not be moved by someone as handsome and capable as Ye Guichen?

However, this affection could only be harbored in her heart.

After all, Sun Li knew someone like Ye Guichen was beyond her reach.

Just consider Wu Nuannuan and Gongsun Fengying beside Ye Guichen; both were a hundred times more capable than herself, but that didn't hinder her admiration.

As they spoke, Sun Li gazed at Ye Guichen with affection, finding joy the more she looked at him.

Ye Guichen didn't notice Sun Li's gaze. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Wait here for me. I'll go inside, ask someone for information, and come right back."

Ye Guichen wasn't a saint; he couldn't care less about these people's morality.

As long as they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't act as an assassin towards them.

Sun Li agreed at once, "Then be careful."

With that, she quickly found a place to hide.

Ye Guichen didn't say much else. Instead, he stood up and moved, his feet shifting as if dancing on the sand. In just the blink of an eye, he reached the edge of the oasis.

Ye Guichen's speed was so fast that no one noticed him.

He swiftly ducked into a wooden house and looked up inside.

Even though it was broad daylight, inside the wooden house, it was exuberantly lively.

Thick carpets mixed with a few animal skins covered the floor by the wall. On them, two bare bodies were entangled, engaged in activities not suitable for children.

They seemed so absorbed that they didn't even notice Ye Guichen's arrival.

Ye Guichen calmly walked over, pulled up a chair, and sat down, watching silently.

"Ahhh, who are you?" The woman, thoroughly enraptured, suddenly opened her eyes to find a smiling stranger's face before her, and screamed in fright.

The man quickly reacted too.

However, the moment he opened his eyes, he didn't shout. Instead, his left hand swiftly reached beneath the carpet, seemingly searching for something.

Ye Guichen patted the long knife in his hand: "Are you looking for this?"

The man looked up, his pupils instantly shrinking.

In Ye Guichen's hand was indeed his own long knife.

"Who are you?" The man's face darkened, unclear of Ye Guichen's intentions, and dared not act rashly.

Having taken away his knife without him noticing, the man knew Ye Guichen was not simple; acting impulsively would obviously be unwise.

"First, put your clothes on. I'm not interested in men," Ye Guichen said, glancing at the naked man.

The man quickly dressed.

The woman, however, did not put on her clothes. Instead, she smiled brightly, swayed her hips, and walked towards Ye Guichen, "Handsome, you disturbed me while I was busy. Don't you think you owe me something?"

Her coquettish voice could melt bones.

Ye Guichen grinned: "Alright!"

Then, he raised his hand and chopped at the woman's neck.

The woman didn't expect Ye Guichen to be so indifferent, attacking just like that. Before losing consciousness, she blinked her eyes and muttered as if cursing Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen couldn't be bothered with the woman.

Although she had a good figure, she was too promiscuous; Ye Guichen didn't like her one bit.

"We have no grudge, do we?" the man, now dressed, looked at Ye Guichen in apprehension.

Ye Guichen shrugged: "I'm going to ask you something. Answer me, and I'll leave without troubling you."

"What is it?" the man blurted out.

"Do you know where the group led by the Brown Bear is?" Ye Guichen asked.

"Brown Bear?" The man was stunned, seemingly not expecting this to be Ye Guichen's query. Seeing that Ye Guichen wasn't here to cause him trouble, he felt a bit relieved and nodded, "Yes, that Brown Bear is tough, but not very smart, so it's usually the Monkey by his side making plans. Although they also followed Hua Heshang, they have several of their own hideouts and don't often return here."

"Oh, then tell me their hiding places."

"You're looking for them?" The man was puzzled: "Did they offend you?"

"Hehe, kind of." Ye Guichen didn't bother explaining, "You just answer my questions; don't ask what shouldn't be asked."

"Alright." The man didn't hesitate, quickly detailing several of Brown Bear's hideouts.

After all, to him, even though they were under Hua Heshang together, he and Brown Bear were merely acquaintances, sometimes even competitors.

Someone causing trouble for Brown Bear amused him.

After listening, Ye Guichen quietly memorized the locations, nodded, tossed the long knife onto the ground, and walked out.

The man saw this, his face sank, and just as he was about to call for help, he noticed the knife on the ground.

The knife, at some point, had been broken into several pieces, shattered.

"What kind of technique is this?" The man was shocked, realizing Ye Guichen's abilities were likely beyond ordinary. He couldn't help but ask, "May I know your esteemed name? Is there anything I can assist with?"

Ye Guichen had just reached the door, unexpectedly finding the man so eager to flatter. He turned to look at him: "Why, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"If sir wanted to kill me, you would've done so already, why wait until now?" The man seemed utterly calm, "Moreover, judging by your air, sir, you are upright, not like a villain. If it weren't for Brown Bear offending you, you probably wouldn't be troubling him, right?"

Ye Guichen was somewhat surprised, giving the man another look: "What's your name?"

"Lu Dahu," the man replied.
