The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 427: Chapter 188: Second Entry into the Martial World (Part 8)

”Tsk, entering the Martial World for the second time, and I’ve stumbled upon the Beggar Gang splitting again!

Gongsun He didn’t become the Gang Leader, instead, he picked up Zi Yi by the roadside, who was abandoned by Wenren Jie due to severe injuries.

Zi Yi was poisoned, yet through an adventure, she acquired a level of Deceptive Martial Arts that was not inferior to He Tiantian’s.

Although abandoned by Wenren Jie, Zi Yi secretly loved her own lord, much like a ’Stockholm’ syndrome sufferer.

No matter how much suffering she endured, she always wanted to help her ’Lord’ accomplish great deeds.

Zi Yi was naturally very clear about Wenren Jie’s covetousness toward the Beggar Gang.

Although the New Beggar Gang wasn’t as prominent as the Beggar Gang, being just a small faction, it was still a force to be reckoned with.

Zi Yi and Gongsun He conspired together and decisively made her the boss of the New Beggar Gang.

Tsk, this was intentionally challenging He Tiantian in a competition.

The Old Beggar Gang chose a woman as their Gang Leader, so the New Beggar Gang also brought out a woman!

Even though the members of the New Beggar Gang were only one-tenth of the Beggar Gang, the Beggar Gang’s disciples were numerous.

One-tenth of the disciples still amounted to over ten thousand people. Placed in the Itinerant World, it definitely counted as a major upper-tier faction.

The structure of the New Beggar Gang, and its disciples, originally came from the Beggar Gang. So, even as a new faction, it looked more impressive and had more depth than an ordinary small sect.

Going out, it was also easy to mislead the uninformed public into thinking that the New Beggar Gang was the Beggar Gang.

Gongsun He then started to operate his forces undercover, rallying under the banner of the Beggar Gang.

...

He Tiantian successfully became the Beggar Gang Leader, and then she began to slowly carry out reforms and reorganization.

She taught the complete set of Dog Beating Stick Technique to all Beggar Gang disciples.

The Beggar Gang had always had a vast number of members, but the Combat Power of ordinary disciples was not high.

He Tiantian didn’t want such a ’ragtag mob’; she needed individual soldiers who were also very powerful true fighters.

The Dog Beating Stick, without the mental method, was at most just a common stick technique.

But, with good stick skills, one can still go into battle and kill enemies.

Just like the broadsword teams during the war of resistance, in an era of hot weapons, they could still slaughter the enemy with broadswords.

Now, although it was the Martial World, with Inner Strength, capable of flying here and there,

During battles between two armies, both the number of people and the quality of individual soldiers were even more important.

If a single Martial Arts Master could withstand an army of a thousand troops, Manor Master Pei would not have met such a tragic end.

Of course, the tragedy of Manor Master Pei was mainly because he couldn’t fulfill both loyalty and filial piety.

He remembered his fathers and masters’ teachings, to be upright and chivalrous for the country and people.

Yet Chai Fengyi was his own mother, the one who gave birth to him and raised him, and he had to protect her more.

He might not be able to follow his mother’s command to rebel against the Tianchao Dynasty, but he also couldn’t bear to watch his mother lose her life because she was a princess from the Previous Dynasty!

Manor Master Pei was truly caught between national duty and his own mother, a dilemma indeed.

He Tiantian:...Don’t worry, Manor Master Pei, let me solve such a difficult problem for you.

And starting from the grassroots to improve the combat abilities of the Beggar Gang disciples was the beginning of He Tiantian’s ambitious enterprise.

All members of the Beggar Gang learned the Dog Beating Stick Technique; the three elders and several squad leaders, while practicing, also didn’t forget to select talented young disciples.

Indeed, after a busy period, these elders actually singled out a few talented and well-understood Beggar Gang disciples.

After an assessment, He Tiantian finally chose a youth named Song Qingyun.

At fourteen or fifteen years old, his brows and eyes bore some resemblance to ’He Yutian’.

If it wasn’t confirmed that although He Yutian had been with the Ghost Doctor for more than a decade and had never had children, and the age didn’t match, He Tiantian would have really thought this child was related to He Yutian when she first saw Song Qingyun.

After thorough investigation, Song Qingyun turned out to be an orphan whose parents died early, with no connections to either He Yutian or Ghost Doctor Yan Boqian.

He Tiantian sighed in her heart: Perhaps this is fate.

Although Song Qingyun looked somewhat like He Yutian, his temperament was completely different.

Despite suffering hardships and experiencing the warmth and coldness of human relationships, he developed a character that was honest, straightforward, and kind.

He didn’t twist his heart due to the mistreatment he endured and turn to hate everyone!

After observing for some days, He Tiantian noted that Song Qingyun was stable and trustworthy with a pure nature, making him very suitable for practicing Dragon Subduing Palm.

After observing, He Tiantian decided on this disciple and imparted everything she knew to Song Qingyun.

In just over a month, Song Qingyun had mastered the Dragon Subduing Palm quite proficiently.

Of course, he lacked substantial Inner Strength and did not have enough actual combat experience; placed in the Itinerant World, he was still just a second or third-rate fighter.”
