"I didn't come here to see you." Li Tianqi pointed at Ye Xingchen: "I'm just borrowing your nephew."
"Go ahead and use it, but don't break it," Xia Hanyue said with a hidden meaning.
"Xu Jie wants to see me?" Ye Xingchen wasn't too surprised to receive this news.
“Yes, I’ve already made reservations for tonight. She’s treating you to a private dinner.” Li Tianqi lit a cigarette. “Do you know what her purpose is?”
"She's just trying to keep me calm. Once the people from Qingxianju arrive, she'll feel more confident." Ye Xingchen smiled. "She's afraid that during the day when Bai Tiance goes back to recuperate and call for help, I'll cause him trouble."
“I think so too.” Li Tianqi raised his head: “These past few days, I have also tried to contact martial arts masters, but as soon as they heard that I was going to oppose Qingxianju, they rejected me directly.”
"That's normal. After all, Qingxianju is considered a sacred place of martial arts by ordinary people in the martial arts world." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Ding Yulong, who is at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, is an object of admiration for many Celestial Realm experts."
“Although I have taken control of the Li family, I haven’t received the support of my father and the family.” Li Tianqi sighed. “My stepmother is very cunning, so… I would like to ask you for your help.”
"What are the benefits?" Ye Xingchen glanced at Li Tianqi.
"I consider you an ally. No matter where we are or what happens, I will stand by your side," Li Tianqi said earnestly.
“Being an ally like this won’t be easy,” Ye Xingchen said with a smile. “I have to deal with the experts from Qingxianju and the troublesome sorcerers for you.”
“You can name any conditions you want, and…” Li Tianqi hesitated for a moment, “Yi Jin likes you.”
"No... I have no relationship with your sister that goes beyond friendship, please don't misunderstand." Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated: "I'll go to the banquet tonight and see what your stepmother is up to."
That evening, Ye Xingchen met Xu Jie in a rather high-class hotel private room.
It's clear that this woman dressed up deliberately, with a low V-neck and a pure white, form-fitting long dress. Combined with her well-maintained figure in her thirties, she would make most men's hearts flutter.
"Mr. Ye, we meet again." Xu Jie smiled slightly, letting her hair down and lowering her body, exuding a languid air in her every move.
This woman practices seductive arts and understands men's psychology best. Every intentional or unintentional move she makes has a fatal impact on men.
Of course, her little tricks were almost ineffective against Ye Xingchen, who didn't even bother to glance at her.
"Just get to the point, everyone's busy." Ye Xingchen smiled. "Mrs. Li is dressed so seductively, anyone who didn't know better would think she's attending some kind of orgy."
Xu Jie frowned slightly. Ye Xingchen's words seemed somewhat vulgar to her, but she then smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, you seem to know quite a bit about these things."
"I don't know." Ye Xingchen slowly shook his head: "When you see a certain kind of person, you naturally think of a certain kind of thing."
Xu Jie's expression turned sour, but she suppressed her displeasure and said, "Mr. Ye, we have no grudges against each other, but your hostility towards me seems a bit excessive."
"Am I that hostile towards you?" Ye Xingchen still had a smile on his face: "I have no hostility towards anyone."
"Is that so?" Xu Jie's smile gradually widened. She lifted her leg and hooked Ye Xingchen's leg with her long leg: "Mr. Ye, although I don't know what Li Tianqi promised you, I want to say that you actually have better options."
"Oh, for example?" Ye Xingchen put down the cup in his hand and asked calmly.
“For example, me.” Xu Jie smiled slightly: “Li Tianqi is quite capable, but his grandfather, father, uncles, and even his younger brother do not support him. Although he is in charge of Qiming Group, it could be taken back by the family at any time.”
“But I’m different. I have the support of almost everyone in the Li family. I know that Mr. Ye needs allies in Yanjing, and I can be that ally in place of Li Tianqi.”
"I don't agree with what you said." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "Everyone opposes Li Tianqi, but Li Tianqi has firmly taken control of Qiming Group. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Xu Jie frowned slightly.
"Because apart from Li Tianqi, everyone else in the Li family is an incompetent fool." Ye Xingchen laughed heartily. "Even if they are unhappy, they dare not strip Li Tianqi of his position, because without Li Tianqi, the Qiming Group would collapse."
Xu Jie's expression changed. Ye Xingchen's words were true. She looked up and said, "The earth will keep turning no matter who leaves. The Li family is about to change, very soon."
"Perhaps. You've been plotting in the Li family for so long, it's time to wrap things up. Otherwise, those old fogies in the Li family might not be able to take it anymore," Ye Xingchen sneered.
"I'll tell you anyway." Xu Jie twisted her alluring body, raising both legs to tightly hook around Ye Xingchen's legs, one of her jade feet rubbing incessantly between Ye Xingchen's legs, sliding down all the way.
“You’re hostile towards him, but you might as well consider this: what Li Tianqi can give, I can give too; what he can’t give you, I can give.”
After she finished speaking, a flash of blue light appeared deep in her pupils. This was a seductive technique unique to the Enchantress Sect. She seduced Ye Xingchen by taking advantage of his confusion and weakness of will to conquer his mind, and then it all became a matter of course.
However, her tried-and-true seductive skills were useless in front of Ye Xingchen.
"Really? You've seduced every man in the Li family except Li Tianqi, haven't you?" Ye Xingchen looked at Xu Jie with a half-smile.
"Why...why aren't you reacting?" Xu Jie was taken aback. Her seductive skills were always effective; even Bai Tiance was willing to fall at her feet. But why was Ye Xingchen unaffected?
"Because any woman around me is more charming than you. What good is it if a woman over thirty-five is well-maintained?" Ye Xingchen laughed heartily.
Xu Jie was startled. She desperately tried to withdraw her seductive arts, but she suddenly felt her mental power being locked by a powerful divine thought. She wanted to withdraw it, but it was too late.
"Ye Xingchen, what are you doing?" Xu Jie screamed, knowing full well the consequences of having her mental power locked.
"What do you think? I didn't expect you to be a disciple of the Charm Sect, skilled in seductive arts." Ye Xingchen smiled. "No wonder even a late-stage Celestial Realm expert like Bai Tian was willing to be driven by you. But aren't you afraid of incurring divine retribution for using such seductive arts to harm people?"
