In the room, Lin Qiyun was fraught with worry, pacing back and forth.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, looked perfectly calm and composed.

He swallowed the Essence Replenishing Pills he had taken from Zhang Qiao, feeling waves of warmth spread through his abdomen.

”My Lady, what are we going to do?”

”The Young Master killed someone! Zhang Qiao’s death will definitely alert Young Master Junyue! When he comes to settle the score, none of us will be able to escape!”

Xiaohe was so anxious she was on the verge of tears.

Lin Qiyun sighed, a hint of weariness clouding her features.

”Husband, I know you meant well, that you wanted to stand up for me.”

”But you… you were still too impulsive!”

Lin Qiyun said, her voice tired.

She didn’t dare to even think about the consequences they would soon have to face.

”Don’t worry.”

”Whatever happens, let them come for me. I won’t let you get hurt.”

Ye Chen glanced at Lin Qiyun and said, ”Besides, you’ve been wronged in this tribe for so long. It’s time you learned to fight back.”

”Fight back?”

Lin Qiyun gave a bitter laugh. ”How am I supposed to fight back?”

She had never been one to simply accept her fate, so how could she not have thought of resisting?

But her own power was limited. Lin Ruowei held all the authority in the tribe and kept a tight leash on her, her own older sister. She couldn’t make the slightest wave.

”I will help you overthrow Lin Ruowei and make you the master of the Vermilion Bird Tribe!”

Ye Chen spoke calmly, his tone placid.

It didn’t sound like a boast, but rather a statement of fact.

For a moment, he had captured the full attention of both Xiaohe and Lin Qiyun.

In fact, Ye Chen had now found a way to speed up his recovery.

So naturally, he wanted to act as soon as possible, take care of everything, and then leave the Vermilion Bird Tribe to do what he needed to do.

Before he left, the most important thing was to ensure Lin Qiyun was settled and safe.

’Make My Lady the master of the tribe?’ Xiaohe couldn’t believe such domineering words were coming from the Young Master’s mouth, her small face filled with astonishment.

Ever since Ye Chen had appeared by her lady’s side, he had always been plagued by injuries, a man who needed to be cared for by others.

On most days, he could barely get out of bed to walk a few steps. His mind was always in a fog, and he couldn’t even speak clearly.

’But Ye Chen only just woke up, hasn’t he?’

His injuries were still severe. Even the Imperial Physician had said he could never walk the path of a Cultivator again.

Yet here he was, proclaiming he would help Lin Qiyun overthrow Lin Ruowei’s rule. How could Xiaohe not be shocked?

Lin Qiyun was also stunned for a moment.

But she didn’t feel particularly excited. She just looked at Ye Chen with a calm expression.

”Husband, I know you want what’s best for me.”

”But I don’t need you to do anything for me. You just need to focus on recovering. That’s enough.”

”I’ll handle Zhang Qiao’s death myself.”

Lin Qiyun said in a low voice.

She tried her best to keep her tone calm.

But anyone could hear the disappointment in her heart.

Her situation in the tribe was already miserable enough.

Then, to be saddled with a severely injured husband who needed constant care… anyone in her position would feel terrible, even desperate.

Ye Chen’s awakening in the last couple of days had brought her some comfort.

But he had only just woken up, and he had already caused a huge disaster, yet he acted as if it were nothing, talking about helping her seize power in the tribe.

’What am I supposed to think?’

’Should I resent him for acting on his own and tell him not to be so arrogant?’

’Or should I cut all ties with him, draw a line in the sand to avoid getting dragged down with him?’

In the end, she already considered herself Ye Chen’s wife from the bottom of her heart, so of course she wanted to face the difficulties with him.

But she didn’t like this side of him, the one who made such empty boasts.

After all, with his severely injured body, it would be a blessing if he just didn’t cause her any more trouble. How could he possibly talk about fighting for power on her behalf?

’And to think I was even considering trading my own Body Tempering Pills for Essence Replenishing Pills to help Ye Chen heal.’

’I never expected it would lead to such a catastrophe!’

Xiaohe glanced at Lin Qiyun, then at Ye Chen, not daring to speak.

She could feel that the atmosphere was a little off.

Ye Chen, however, calmly and naturally took Lin Qiyun’s delicate hand and said, ”Do you think what I did was wrong?”

Lin Qiyun’s body stiffened. She subconsciously tried to pull her hand back; even now, she was still not used to physical contact with a man she barely knew.

But when she remembered they were husband and wife, she stopped struggling and said softly, ”Husband, you were still too impulsive.”

”If you had just taught him a lesson, I could have handled it.”

”But now that someone is dead… this makes things very difficult for me.”

Ye Chen could see that the pair of slender shoulders before him seemed to be bearing an unimaginable pressure.

But his attitude remained firm.

This time, he wouldn’t let Lin Qiyun continue to be weak.

”I told you, I will handle everything.”

Ye Chen’s gaze locked onto Lin Qiyun. ”I said I’d make you the master of the Vermilion Bird Tribe, and I will do it!”

With that, he stood up.

Although the Essence Replenishing Pills were of an ordinary grade, their healing effects were extraordinary.

Even though Ye Chen’s injuries were still severe, he could already unleash enough power to crush a Fifth Layer Blood Coagulation Realm Cultivator.

And that was without overexerting himself or aggravating his injuries.

He could even fight against a Sixth or even Seventh Layer Blood Coagulation Realm Cultivator!

And all this, less than two minutes after taking the pills.

The medicinal effects of five whole Essence Replenishing Pills were still spreading through his body, repairing every inch of his meridians, bones, and flesh.

”Young Master, what are you doing?”

Xiaohe looked at Ye Chen in confusion, not understanding why he had suddenly stood up.

”Someone’s here.”

Ye Chen said faintly, ”They’re probably here for me.”

Sure enough, just as his voice fell, a rush of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the courtyard.

The next moment, the courtyard gate was kicked open with a loud CRASH, scaring Xiaohe so much that her face turned pale and she curled into a ball.

”Who killed Zhang Qiao?”

”Young Master Qiyun, I need an explanation!”

Several tribe guards arrived and stood before Lin Qiyun’s residence.

The man in the lead was burly and broad-shouldered, covered in heavy armor, with a fierce and ruthless look on his face.

Lin Qiyun’s expression changed, and she was just about to act.

But Ye Chen reached out and held her back.

”Just be good and wait for me here.”

With that, Ye Chen pushed the door open and walked out alone to face the group of tribe guards.

”I’m the one who killed him.”

He spoke calmly, showing no intention of hiding the truth.

”Give me a reason.”

The burly man shot Ye Chen a cold look, his face filled with disdain. ”Of course, even if you are Young Master Qiyun’s husband, you will still have to go to the Punishment Hall to face your penalty!”

”And what if I refuse to go?” Ye Chen smiled.

”Hmph!”

The burly man sneered. ”I’m afraid that’s not up to you!”
