The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 153: Chapter 096: Entering the Martial World (Complete)_2

The family left quickly again. They couldn’t really stand the luxurious, indulgent scenes of a Linan that seemed paper-drunk in its splendor, especially after coming from the ravaged Xiang City.

He Yichong led his family back to Xiang City.

And one night, three or four people in black sneaked into the residences of several treacherous officials in Linan.

The next day, word spread throughout Linan Prefecture that several treacherous officials had been assassinated!

In the following months, those in the court who were always shouting ”negotiate peace” and were part of the surrender faction, met with a series of assassinations.

As the Imperial court was shaken, officials also harbored their suspicions.

Those officials who had been swaying from side to side, always thinking of encouraging the Emperor to negotiate peace with the Hulu, were now deterred and no longer dared to propose negotiations or surrender in public.

It seemed that the court had developed the determination and courage to fight the Hulu to the end.

Moreover, with He Yichong, a figure from the Martial World, joining the Imperial court as an official, many masters and heroes from the Itinerant World also responded in various ways, seeking to serve the country.

While the Imperial court weathered its storms and the Martial World bustled with noise, the He Yichong family in distant Xiang City paid little attention to it all.

He Yichong continued to diligently guard the city, training the ever-growing Righteous Martial Army, leaving no opportunity for the returning Hulu troops.

And Tian Dan remained He Yichong’s wise and virtuous wife, using the New Beggar Gang’s strength to gather intelligence and spy on the enemy, ensuring Xiang City’s safety.

This couple, busy with government affairs year-round, had no time to discipline their children.

Fortunately, their eldest daughter had become sensible and capable, so they simply handed He Jinyan over to ”He Tiantian”.

He Tiantian was not at all opposed to He Yichong and his wife’s decision, in fact, she was somewhat pleased.

To personally train a younger brother was to gain another helper for herself.

Moreover, she was now ”He Tiantian” and had to bear the corresponding fate.

In the original story, He Tiantian caused a great disaster, owing a lot to Kang Shenxing and Fu Yaozi.

He Yichong thought He Tiantian was too unrestrained because of overindulgence.

Thus, he overcorrected, becoming especially strict with He Jinyan.

But He Yichong, who truly wasn’t good at raising children, imposed too rigid and stern a discipline.

The good nature of the child was being crushed.

He Jinyan was, after all, Hero He Yichong’s only son and was supposed to be on par with the male lead Kang Shenxing in the mission, yet he was raised to be just a backdrop character.

It was only later, following Kang Shenxing in the Itinerant World and gradually making a name for himself, that he was able to unify the Martial World on the lingering prestige of the One-Armed Hero after Kang Shenxing retired.

Although He Jinyan became the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, it was the result of Kang Shenxing’s stepping down.

In his own right, his Martial Arts were not the highest, his influence mediocre, a classic case of a lesser son of a great father.

Now with He Tiantian raising her brother, she would never follow He Yichong’s old path.

This child was steady and honest, the very picture of someone who abides by rules and is down-to-earth. He Tiantian encouraged him to maintain his original aspiration, while also understanding the cunning of the Itinerant World and the malice of human hearts.

He Tiantian also reminded her brother to focus on the country and the world rather than the minor grudges of the Martial World.

Indeed, they could not escape the shadow of Hero He, but as children of He Yichong and Tian Dan, they were born into a starting point beyond most people’s reach.

Since they enjoyed the glory and benefits from their parents, they also had to bear the consequences of being overshadowed by their parents’ aura.

Through He Tiantian’s lifelong teachings, He Jinyan’s mind became exceptionally strong.

His character might have been predestined, but he had ample confidence and pride.

Guo Polv practiced Martial Arts and trained troops. His skills might not have been the highest, but he excelled at leading battles.

He took over the Rocket Team from He Tiantian and developed it extensively, creating the formidable He Family Army.

Its combat strength was no less impressive than He Yichong’s Righteous Martial Army, showing even a faint trend of the new waves surpassing the old.

He Jinyan also acquired the Hu Family’s military treatise from the descendants of General Hu Yang and learned how to set up Formations.

With intricate Formations, fierce Artifacts, and soldiers brave and invincible as they faced death, the He Family Rocket Army led by He Jinyan was invincible, becoming a sharp blade against the Hulu Iron Cavalry.

With the Righteous Martial Army and He Family Army holding back the southward march of the Hulu army, the court took the opportunity to recover lost ground, showing signs of restoration.

By then, when people mentioned He Jinyan, fewer referred to him only as the son of Hero He Yichong and the female warrior Tian Dan, instead respectfully addressing him as ”Little General He.”
