After washing up, Jiang Chen changed into his pajamas and began resting in the guest room. Gong Lin glanced at Jiang Chen, who fell asleep once his head hit the pillow, and quietly covered him with a quilt before turning and leaving the bedroom.

With those words that Jiang Chen had spoken in the bathroom, she was already very content!

The next day upon waking, Jiang Chen treated Ye Jingyi with acupuncture. After finishing, he thought for a moment and then got up and left Gong Lin's home.

He knew that yesterday's incident wouldn't stay hidden forever. Wan Feng was the eldest young master of the Wan Family; if he went missing, the family would definitely investigate, and eventually, his feud with Wan Feng would make him the prime suspect.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Chen thought through all the people he knew. He was aware that if he asked his grandfather, Elder Master Jiang would surely find a way to protect him, but he did not want to resolve it through Elder Master Jiang. After some consideration, he drove away from Gong Lin's home and hurried to the villa Lin Bingrui had prepared for Shen Zhenguo.

Upon reaching the villa, Jiang Chen parked the car and happened to meet Wu Feng, who was returning from taking out the trash.

"Mr. Jiang, you've come," Wu Feng greeted Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded and asked in a soft voice, "Is the elder at home?"

"He is, the master is home. Please come in!" Wu Feng opened the door and gestured for Jiang Chen to enter.

Jiang Chen nodded his thanks and stepped into the villa.

"Mr. Jiang," Shen Zhenguo greeted with a face full of gratitude upon seeing Jiang Chen.

Ever since he drank the wine laced with ancient elixir, Shen Zhenguo's health had noticeably improved, and he was now able to start cultivating again.

"The elder's recovery is going well," Jiang Chen said with a light smile after examining Shen Zhenguo's condition.

Shen Zhenguo quickly replied, "All thanks to you, Mr. Jiang!"

With a light chuckle and a moment of hesitation, Jiang Chen appeared unsure.

"Mr. Jiang, please speak your mind," Shen Zhenguo noticed Jiang Chen's unease and directly asked.

Jiang Chen organized his thoughts before speaking softly, "Elder Shen, I accidentally killed someone yesterday. Do you know of any way to handle it?"

"Haha!" Shen Zhenguo laughed, "I thought it was something serious. A martial artist as powerful as Mr. Jiang needn't worry about such matters. You should go to the Martial Alliance for this; they can handle it smoothly."

"Martial Alliance? What place is that?" Jiang Chen looked at Shen Zhenguo with confusion.

Both Shen Zhenguo and Wu Feng were taken aback, sharing a glance and then looking at Jiang Chen in surprise.

"Mr. Jiang doesn't know about the Martial Alliance?" Wu Feng asked incredulously.

Jiang Chen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't even know the levels of martial artists, how could I possibly know about the Martial Alliance?"

Shen Zhenguo was startled once more, while Wu Feng had heard from Zhang Qiang about Jiang Chen's ignorance of martial artist levels, but had never imagined Jiang Chen wouldn't know about the Martial Alliance either.

"Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you," Wu Feng began to explain softly.

Through Wu Feng's explanation, Jiang Chen learned that the Martial Alliance was an organization formed by the loose cultivators of the Flame Dragon Kingdom specifically to handle matters involving martial artists.

Martial artists were divided into four levels: Heavenly, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with the majority being at the Yellow and Profound levels. Earth Level Martial Artists were very rare, and Heavenly Level ones were even scarcer, almost mythical. Those who reached the Heavenly Level were known as Grandmasters.

Only then did Shen Zhenguo and Wu Feng realize that although Jiang Chen had such formidable skills, he had never even set foot in the Martial Alliance and was very unfamiliar with many matters related to martial artists.

This was truly an exceptional case!

Thus, Shen Zhenguo also joined in, helping to educate Jiang Chen about martial artists and the Martial Alliance, giving Jiang Chen a general understanding of both.

"Mr. Jiang, how about I recommend you to join the Martial Alliance? With your strong skills, you would definitely be very popular there!" After explaining the matters of martial artists and the Martial Alliance, Shen Zhenguo spoke softly.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and gently shook his head. He felt that his way of cultivating was somewhat different from that of the present martial artists and that he might not really be a true martial artist. If he went there, there could be some trouble.

"Elder Shen, I don't want to join the Martial Alliance." Jiang Chen firmly refused.

"This..." Shen Zhenguo was taken aback and slightly furrowed his brow, "In that case, the matter of you killing someone becomes somewhat troublesome. If no one knew, it would be fine, but if someone is aware, trouble is inevitably coming your way."

Shen Zhenguo also started to worry.

"Master, why not ask Brother Shen? He might have some solution," Wu Feng gently reminded him.

Shen Zhenguo nodded, "Right, let's ask him. I'll call him over."

Pulling out his phone, Shen Zhenguo dialed Shen Xiangtian. As it happened, Shen Xiangtian was in Dingjing and had not left yet. Hearing that Jiang Chen needed him, he immediately rushed back home.

"Mr. Jiang, this is an easy matter to solve." After listening to Jiang Chen's situation, Shen Xiangtian spoke with a light laugh, "Our Long Ya Special Forces team just happens to be in need of a chief instructor. How about you take on the role? This position comes with a license to kill, but you do need to teach us some substantial stuff, you know!"

"Sure, I can do that!" Jiang Chen nodded.

After agreeing, they decided to wait for Shen Xiangtian to report to the higher-ups and complete the necessary procedures before heading to the Long Ya Special Forces team to report.

Soon after, Jiang Chen took his leave.

...

"How can this be allowed!"

Just as Jiang Chen entered the Gong family's doors, a voice filled with dissatisfaction rang out.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment before striding into the living room.

In the living room, first hospital special-duty doctors and nurses stood to one side, looking somewhat embarrassed.

They had been sent by the hospital the day before at Jiang Chen's request. He didn't feel reassured sending Ye Jingyi back to the hospital. The dean of the first hospital, Fu Qingcheng, who was already worried and guilty about the incident of Ye Jingyi being taken away, immediately agreed to Jiang Chen's request upon hearing it.

The deputy dean, Fang Zhikang, upon learning of this matter, even personally brought people with him to come over.

Nearby, Gong Lin and Gong Yue seemed to be having an argument.

"Mr. Jiang." Upon seeing Jiang Chen enter, Fang Zhikang greeted him respectfully.

Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Gong Lin with confusion, "What's the matter?"

"Is it you who brought a vegetative person into our home? What do you think our home is? A shelter?" Gong Yue turned her head and shouted at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's expression shifted slightly and his gaze grew indifferent, "If you're not willing to have Jing Yi here, then I will leave as well."

"If you want to leave, just leave, I'm not beg..." Gong Yue started to say with a cold laugh.

"Enough!" Gong Lin shouted, interrupting Gong Yue, her eyes glaring as she said sternly, "Gong Yue, I agreed to let Jing Yi recover at home. If you want to make trouble, direct it at me!"

"I..."

Although Gong Yue had always been discontent with Jiang Chen, she held a lot of respect for her older sister, Gong Lin. With Gong Lin standing firm, she had nothing more to say, and, with a huff, she cast an aggrieved glance at Jiang Chen before unhappily taking a seat on the sofa.
