The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 420: Chapter 185: Second Entry into the Martial World (Part 5)_3

This organization was originally established by the Emperor to oversee the people of the Martial World, managed by his trusted confidants.

Now that he has his own son, the Emperor has handed over Carefree Pavilion to Wenren Jie.

Wenren Jie grew up in Carefree Pavilion and learned all sorts of cunning Martial Arts and magical abilities.

He is considered a rising star in the Martial World, side by side with Pei Jinghou!

However, unlike the upright and chivalrous Pei Jinghou, Wenren Jie is somewhat insidious and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Especially after he grew up and learned of his origins, something twisted inside Wenren Jie’s heart—

Why?

Both are sons of the Emperor, both were born in the same birth, yet just because Seventh Prince was born a quarter hour earlier, he gets to be the noble Prince, residing in the bustling Capital City enjoying all honors.

While he, for being born a mere quarter hour later, was erased from the royal family’s existence and exiled to the Itinerant World.

The Itinerant World, ah, full of Martial Artists and outcasts—he, Wenren Jie, with his noble blood, has to mingle with these base individuals!

Wenren Jie was filled with discontent and started to harbor grand ambitions—

He is of royal blood, he should rightfully bear the surname Zhao.

He, too, has the right to contend for that Dragon Throne in the capital!

Perhaps he lacks the support of the Father Emperor and the following of key court officials, but he has the Carefree Pavilion and an extraordinary set of skills!

He didn’t believe that with his intellect and bravery, he would lose to those pampered Princes in the capital!

Especially the Seventh Prince!

Definitely his nemesis for life!

With ambition in his heart, Wenren Jie secretly expanded his influence.

He not only gathered followers from within the Martial World but also covertly recruited exiled criminals and dismissed officials.

These people indeed broke the law, but their abilities were beyond doubt.

Wenren Jie, who grew up in the Itinerant World, needed someone versed in the ways of the court to advise him.

Besides expanding the power of Carefree Pavilion, Wenren Jie quietly planted confidants in reputable sects like Shaolin and Beggar Gang.

Even places like Jade Villa and Heaven and Earth Alliance had Wenren Jie’s insiders.

Some people, after years of hiding, even managed to thrive within their factions.

Take Gongsun He, for example, not yet forty years old, yet he had already become the Vice Sect Leader of the Beggar Gang!

In fact, even Ghost Doctor Yan Boqian and He Tiantian, though without definitive evidence, still suspected his close ties with Carefree Pavilion.

Gongsun He was one such undeniable piece of evidence!

Though he came to Ghost Doctor Valley under the flag of Beggar Gang, he was always murmuring to the Ghost Doctor.

This reputable sect’s Vice Sect Leader, surprisingly, had a very good private relationship with the Ghost Doctor.

These past few years, he hasn’t stopped ”requesting medicine” from the Ghost Doctor’s side.

The Vice Sect Leader suddenly poisoned a year ago, died untreated, and that poison was said to originate from Ghost Doctor Valley.

Only after the Vice Sect Leader’s death did Gongsun He rise to his position.

It wasn’t just He Tiantian who suspected, even the original master, He Yutian, had her doubts.

Therefore, she took Gongsun He as the second man to target and established relations with him behind the Ghost Doctor’s back.

Perhaps it was a sense of guilt, so when the Ghost Doctor’s archenemies came seeking vengeance and slaughter, Gongsun He chose to watch indifferently.

He stayed put to handle the bodies and searched everywhere for the Ghost Doctor’s ”Poison Manual,” thus delaying his arrival.

By the time he reached the medicine house, He Tiantian had already accomplished the ”counterkill”!

Gongsun He witnessed such a scene—what was once a frail and beautiful woman had her looks destroyed, yet by a twist of fate, managed to master the Supreme Poison Technique.

Later, Gongsun He also saw the entire process of Mrs. Ya torturing Chai Ling.

From the moment he first arrived at Ghost Doctor Valley, Gongsun He knew that Mrs. Ya was no good person.

She hadn’t roamed the Itinerant World, but still held the notorious nickname ”Poison Spider,” showing her ruthless nature.

However, Gongsun He thought, this poisonous woman was merely vicious in mind, she knew no Martial Arts, and no matter how malicious, was just capable of deceit and trickery.

Yet... without drawing attention, Gongsun He glanced at Chai Ling, who lay unconscious on the ground, his heart filling with fear and caution towards Mrs. Ya.

”I have already dealt with the body of Yan Boqian, and in a moment of negligence, I overlooked that Chai Ling dared to be disrespectful towards Madam, that’s why I couldn’t come to save you in time!”

Gongsun He explained tentatively, his words a mix of truth and lies.

Cleaning up the body was true, but rushing to save someone was false.

To him, He Yutian was nothing more than a promiscuous woman full of schemes.

To play around, to use each other, was tolerable.

But to regard He Yutian as True Love, to kill for her or seek vengeance on her behalf, was out of the question.

Gongsun He still aspired to seize the entire Beggar Gang and become a powerful figure who could summon the wind and rain in the Martial World.
