Ye Chen was slightly surprised when he saw He Chen's appearance.

His clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in wounds from which blood was gushing out.

Less than an hour after he left Liu's flagship store, what happened to this guy?

"who is he?"

He Chen looked at Ye Chen with a wary expression.

Bu Mingyan quickly explained, "This is Young Master Chen. He killed that scoundrel Zhang Wenshan and avenged Qian Yuan."

"What?"

He Chen's eyes widened in shock.

Ye Chen chuckled, lifted Zhang Wenshan's head in front of him, and said nonchalantly.

"I had some grudge against this guy, and since I happened to run into him, I just killed him on a whim."

"Just...killed him?"

No one knew how shocked He Chen was at this moment. Zhang Wenshan was a Grandmaster in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. How could this young man say that killing him was as easy as killing a chicken?

He searched his memory carefully but couldn't recall any expert with the surname Chen in Jiangnan Province.

Could he be a powerful figure from some hidden family or sect?

Only those forces with profound foundations and unparalleled mystery can cultivate such young martial arts geniuses.

"Thank you, Young Master Chen, for avenging my brother."

Seeing that He Chen didn't ask about his background, and that he had probably made up his own story, Ye Chen didn't explain, but just smiled and said.

"You're injured. Come in and let me bandage you up first."

Thank you.

He Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute and staggered into the house.

While Ye Chen was treating his wounds, Bu Mingyan asked again.

"Brother He, who hurt you like this?"

He Chen's eyes were filled with anger as he gritted his teeth and said, "It was those two scoundrels, Lu Yousheng and Ma Cheng. When they saw Zhang Wenshan defecting, they suddenly attacked him on his way back to the Martial Alliance. I was caught off guard and was ambushed by them."

"Aren't they afraid that the Martial Alliance headquarters will find out about what they're doing?" Bu Mingyan asked.

"Heh, now that Zhang Wenshan is dead, if they kill me too, the others won't know the truth, and if headquarters sends people, they'll just have to believe whatever they're told," He Chen said with a bitter smile.

Bu Mingyan asked worriedly, "So what do you plan to do now?"

He Chen already had a plan in mind and immediately said, "The Jiangnan Martial Alliance is currently leaderless. Lu Yousheng and Ma Cheng will definitely use their henchmen in the Martial Alliance to quickly take control of the entire alliance."

Once they have a spare moment, they'll probably hunt me down relentlessly, and they probably won't let you, the former chairman's wife, and your associates go either.

Bu Mingyan asked, puzzled, "I'm just a weak woman, why would they kill me?"

He Chen shook his head slightly, "That's not how it works. The Jiangnan Martial Alliance was founded by Brother Ma's ancestors, and most people still identify with the Ma family and Brother Ma."

Lu Yousheng and Ma Cheng are afraid I'll use your identity to my advantage and fight them for power within the Martial Alliance. That's why I came to find you, wanting to take you and Nannan away with me.

Ye Chen listened without saying anything, but he agreed with He Chen's idea.

His plan to control the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance stemmed from this idea, but now it seems the plan needs to be changed.

In public, He Chen was serious and dignified, but when he saw Bu Mingyan, he became a chatterbox, constantly muttering to himself.

"It's a pity that I'm too rigid and don't know how to form cliques. I don't have a decent team in the Martial Alliance, otherwise I could have competed with them."

He sighed as he finished speaking.

"If only you, sister-in-law, had martial arts cultivation, that would be great. If you were a Foundation Establishment Grandmaster, you could definitely stabilize the situation by simply stepping forward and raising your voice."

Bu Mingyan smiled wryly, "Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage isn't that easy. I do have some martial arts talent, but I'm only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining now."

"Haha, I was the one who was daydreaming."

After Ye Chen finished treating He Chen's wounds, he stretched his arms and laughed.

He then stood up and bowed to Ye Chen.

"Young Master Chen, I can't just watch the Martial Alliance get wrecked by those two bastards. Even if we don't have enough manpower, we still have to try to turn the tide."

"Being able to kill Zhang Wenshan means you're at least at the same level as him. Could you please take care of my younger brother and sister-in-law for me? I'll have the results in three days at most."

Ye Chen nodded. "That's no problem. If you need any help, I can lend a hand."

He Chen waved his hand and said, "The current situation of the Martial Alliance cannot be solved by external forces. Moreover, this is our internal matter. If you, Young Master Chen, take action, it may backfire."

"In that case, I will not interfere." Ye Chen raised his hand in return.

"Alright, I'll be going now."

"You must protect yourself. Staying alive is the most important thing. If things become unbearable, withdraw immediately. With your cultivation level, you can achieve your ambitions wherever you go," Bu Mingyan earnestly advised.

"To realize one's ambitions?"

"When I swore brotherhood with Brother Ma, I had some ambitions. I thought I could develop and strengthen the Jiangnan Martial Alliance, gather a large number of experts to invade the Sakura Kingdom, and avenge my ancestors who died and the millions of compatriots who died in the Great Xia Dynasty. But now..."

He smiled sadly, said nothing more, and turned to stride out of the house.

"Be very careful!"

Bu Mingyan watched his resolute back and shouted her instructions.

After he left, Ye Chen looked at Bu Mingyan, whose face was full of worry, and suddenly asked.

"Madam, would you like to step out of seclusion and end the current chaos in the Martial Alliance?"

Bu Mingyan sighed, "Of course I want to, but I don't have the ability."

Ye Chen smiled and shook his head. "No, you have that power, but it's controlled by your second personality. If you can persuade her to give this power to you, you can naturally end the chaos."

Upon hearing this idea, Bu Mingyan was instantly intrigued.

The Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance was the culmination of her husband's life's work, and it was also the platform where He Chen and many loyal disciples of Ma Qianyuan could find refuge and realize their ambitions.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she is willing to pay a huge price to restore stability to the Martial Alliance.

"Young Master Chen, do you have a way to help me?"

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, "This matter is difficult in some ways, but easy in others. All you need to do is get your second personality to make a concession."

To everyone's surprise, Bu Mingyan shook her head and said, "No, my second personality can't be subdued by force; it can only be subdued by sleeping with me."

Ye Chen said with a smile, "That's why I said I wanted to talk to her."

Bu Mingyan's cheeks flushed instantly. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and spoke in a voice barely audible.

"I meant the sleep in the sense of sleeping."

"what?"

Ye Chen's smile froze on his face.

Bu Mingyan continued to explain, her face flushed, "I almost didn't survive when I was born. When I was three years old, a master came to my family and revealed the truth. It turns out that I am a very rare Yin-attribute Youyue body. If left unattended, I probably wouldn't live past twenty."

Seeing that my family had always done good deeds, he took action and sealed most of the cold energy within me. However, after I turned eighteen, the seal gradually loosened, and over the years, that extremely yin energy developed its own consciousness. This is the origin of my second personality.

When she transformed into her second personality, I could vaguely sense her thoughts.

She has an extremely obsessive desire to absorb the yang energy from men's bodies for cultivation.

Ye Chen hadn't expected that Bu Mingyan's Yin attribute constitution was so well hidden; he hadn't even noticed their intimate contact last night.

After hearing this explanation, he quickly understood some things.

"So, you're not the alluring body the rumors say you have, but the body of the Moon Goddess. Your fatal attraction to men is the work of your second personality?"

Upon hearing this, Bu Mingyan blushed even more and hurriedly waved her hand in denial.

"Seduce men? No...no way. Does Young Master Chen really find her that alluring?"

"You look so alluring right now!"

Ye Chen made a comment, then quickly coughed twice to get back to the main topic.

"So what exactly does 'seducing her' mean, Madam?"

"It's...it's exactly what it says..."

"Oh no, does Young Master Chen think I'm deliberately seducing him by saying that, and that I'm a particularly promiscuous woman?"

Bu Mingyan felt a surge of nervousness, so much so that she forgot one thing: whenever she got nervous, her second personality would come out and cause trouble.

Ye Chen wanted to discuss things further with her, but then he saw Bu Mingyan, who had been blushing, suddenly look up with a lovestruck expression and giggle.

"Oh, isn't this the handsome young man from last night? I heard you wanted to seduce me?"
