The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 421: Chapter 186: Second Entry into the Martial World (Part 6)

”Oh? Really? Vice Sect Leader Gongsun is being too kind!”

He Tiantian didn’t want to argue with Gongsun He too much because, according to the original story, members of the Heaven and Earth Alliance would soon be looking for them.

Following that, news of the Ghost Doctor’s murder would spread, and those desiring the Ghost Doctor’s ”inheritance” would come flooding in like a tide.

He Tiantian wasn’t afraid of these people, but even if she had to take action, now was not the time.

He Tiantian scanned Gongsun He from head to toe, with her gaze eventually settling on the Dog Beating Stick in his hand.

He Tiantian, being familiar with the plot, knew that the stick in Gongsun He’s hand was the symbol of the Beggar Gang Leader—the Dog Beating Stick!

”This stick isn’t bad!”

He Tiantian said softly, and as she spoke, she stretched out her right hand and made a grabbing gesture.

Pfft!

Another stream of white mist sprayed out from the palm of her hand.

Immediately, Gongsun He felt as if the Dog Beating Stick had been forcefully snatched out of his grip.

He instinctively tightened his hold, trying to keep the Dog Beating Stick.

But, he was still a step too slow; his hand grabbed nothing but air.

By this time, the Dog Beating Stick had already flown in front of He Tiantian, firmly grasped in her hands.

”Madam, this is the Beggar Gang’s treasured symbol. Aside from the Gang Leader, no one can take it by force!” Gongsun He panicked; this was the symbol of power for the Beggar Gang!

He was only a Vice Sect Leader with limited martial arts abilities, and even if a Beggar Gang convention were to be held, he had no confidence in defeating the other contenders to become the Beggar Gang Leader.

But Gongsun He had a plan; he would ”safeguard” the Dog Beating Stick and, once he found a suitable candidate, he would promote him to the position.

That person would only be a puppet, while Gongsun He, the holder of the Dog Beating Stick, would be the real boss of the Beggar Gang.

He Tiantian didn’t speak; she just quietly looked at Gongsun He.

The message couldn’t have been clearer: you, Gongsun He, are not the Beggar Gang Leader either, so on what basis are you holding on to the Gang’s ”staff of office”?

”I, I’m just acting as a guardian. The Old Sect Leader passed away suddenly, and the new Gang Leader hasn’t been selected yet—” Gongsun He, cunning and sly, of course understood He Tiantian’s gaze and hurriedly explained.

He Tiantian smiled and said, ”I’m just acting as a guardian too. Once a new Gang Leader is elected at the Beggar Gang’s convention, I’ll hand over the Dog Beating Stick.”

Gongsun He was anxious, ”Madam, this, this is against the rules. After all, I am the Vice Sect Leader of the Beggar Gang. Without a Gang Leader, as the Vice Sect Leader—”

”So what?!”

He Tiantian interrupted Gongsun He directly, speaking indifferently: ”Besides, as members of the Itinerant World, who follows those outdated rules?”

He Tiantian made her stance clear, no longer wasting words with Gongsun He. With a roll of her feet, she took off, flying straight out of the medicine house.

”He Yutian! You!”

How could Gongsun He let He Tiantian go?

Although he was wary of He Tiantian’s tricky Poison Technique, he was even more unwilling to let go of the power he held.

His martial arts were not great; all he could do was open his legs wide and chase He Tiantian towards the depths of Ghost Doctor Valley.

As the two of them left one after the other, several sneaky figures came running.

They were either disciples or followers of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, having heard that their Eldest Miss had been abducted by the Ghost Doctor, and that a powerful enemy had attacked the Ghost Doctor.

They wanted to sneak in and take advantage!

They made their way to the medicine house and indeed saw Chai Ling lying on the ground, tortured to the brink of death, a pitiful sight.

”Eldest Miss?! Eldest Miss, wake up, please!”

The lean and dark man leading them checked Chai Ling’s breath, and she was still alive.

Then, he began to carefully inspect Chai Ling’s condition and found that her wounds were mostly external.

But the most serious was the poison in her body?

”Damn it! So the rumors are true; the Ghost Doctor really does use living people for experiments!”

Anyone else might not matter, but the Ghost Doctor even dared to use the Eldest Miss of the Heaven and Earth Alliance as a Medicine Man!

He was clearly not taking the Heaven and Earth Alliance seriously.

Without another word—a single command—search!

They were going to search every nook and cranny of Ghost Doctor Valley and find the Ghost Doctor’s secret tome, the ”Poison Manual”!

Having found their excuse, the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Alliance began turning Ghost Doctor Valley upside down in their search.

Meanwhile, Chai Ling gradually awakened from her unconscious state.

”Chai Yi?!” Slowly opening her eyes and recognizing the person, Chai Ling exclaimed joyfully.

”Were you sent by my father to find me?! Oh, good, you must help me take revenge!”

”It was that Poison Spider, she’s just an old witch, she scarred my face and injured me!”

Chai Ling clamored, grabbing Chai Yi’s hand and imperiously giving orders.

Chai Yi internally impatient, said in exasperation, ”Eldest Miss, someone like the Poison Spider is just a minor figure. What’s most important right now is to find the Ghost Doctor’s ’Poison Manual’!”
