Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 75 Revoking Exile

During the next two days, Su Xian dedicated herself to training the new students in cultivation while Wang Jian was busy executing his plan of recruiting spies from the Night Dagger Clan and the Miracle Angel Tribes.

These spies were tasked with keeping Wang Jian informed of any confidential decisions made by their respective factions, unbeknownst to their leaders.

During the last two nights, Wang Jian indulged in sexual activities with both Han Xifeng and Kang Huian, subjecting them to his torment.

However, he was disappointed to find that there were no notifications from the system. He soon realized that it was because neither Han Xifeng nor Kang Huian possessed the Heroine title, as he had killed Lin Feng.

ʼThis place doesnʼt seem to have any more protagonists. I should leave this place now. However, I have been banished to this region. If I try to leave without the Emperorʼs permission, I will be punished even more severely.ʼ

”I should contact my mother,” Wang Jian murmured.

Well, this was his only choice if Wang Jian wanted to get out of Zhenguan Region.

Actually, the Zhenguan Region was also considered a forbidden land and criminals or other individuals were sent to this place for exile.

Wang Jian was also exiled to this region. But due to his royal status, he became the lord of this region and ruled it with complete authority.

ʼ…I need to add enough details that would allow my mother to convince the Emperor,ʼ Wang Jian thought.

Wang Jian was exiled to the Zhenguan Region after he killed an envoy from a rival country who had come to cause trouble.

Wang Jianʼs mother, Bai Liqin, was targeted in an assassination attempt, and when Wang Jian learned that the envoy was responsible, he ordered his soldiers to execute him.

Unfortunately, there was no concrete evidence tying the envoy to the assassination attempt.

To appease both the court and international allies, the Emperor banished Wang Jian to the Zhenguan Region, which was known to be incredibly dangerous.

The region was home to the three great tribes and various dangerous beasts, but the most perilous being was a powerful demonic entity that was sealed deep within the inner forest. No one had ventured into that area and returned alive.

A powerful barrier array surrounded the Zhenguan Region, and a strict security system prevented anyone from leaving.

The reason for this was the Emperor-Ranked Killing Array set up throughout the entire region, which would activate and cause significant harm once the seal was broken and enough blood had been shed.

The activation required the blood of hundreds of thousands of lives. This condition was fairly simple to satisfy as the Demonic Entity would do that for them.

As a result, the people in the Zhenguan Region were considered unfortunate and living on borrowed time, with their lives at risk once the demonic being broke free from its seal.

The Emperorʼs punishment for Wang Jian was considered satisfactory by their international allies, as banishment to the Zhenguan Region was widely known to be a harsh and terrible fate.

The letter soon reached the palace of the Everlasting Mystic Empireʼs Royal Family.

The palace was a sight to behold. It was a massive structure that exuded grandeur and luxury. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings and paintings that depicted the history and culture of the empire. The floors were made of polished marble that shone in the sunlight that streamed through the windows. The halls were lined with towering pillars, and the ceilings were decorated with exquisite chandeliers that cast a warm glow over the space.

Bai Liqin, Wang Jianʼs mother, walked towards the Emperorʼs chambers with a sense of excitement and anticipation. She was a beautiful woman with a regal bearing, and her presence commanded attention. Her long, black hair was tied back in an elegant bun, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

She clutched the letter from her son and had faith that the Emperor would revoke his exile after hearing the details in the letter. As she entered the chambers, the Emperor sat on his throne, looking as cold and emotionless as ever.

”Your Majesty,” she began, bowing low. ”I have received a letter from our son, Wang Jian. He has expressed his regret for his actions and begs for your forgiveness.”

The Emperor snorted. ”Forgiveness? After what he has done? He has brought shame upon our family and our Empire.”

Bai Liqin took a deep breath. ”Your Majesty, please listen to me. Our son was provoked. The envoy from the rival country insulted our honor and threatened the safety of our family. Our son acted in self-defence.”

The Emperor narrowed his eyes, ”Do you think ʼweʼ are unaware of this fact? As ʼourʼ concubine, you should be aware that he was punished because he acted rashly. Our royal family lost significant prestige and incurred multiple losses due to his actions. He must stay there for at least an entire decade before even thinking of returning.”

Bai Liqin bowed low, tears welling in her eyes, ”I know, Your Majesty. If it was merely this, I would never have foiled your mood by giving you this information. Actually, he sent more details in his letter.”

She began to speak proudly, ”Our son, Wang Jian, has successfully unified the three powerful tribes of the Zhenguan Region under his banner.”

”The three tribes?” the Emperorʼs eyebrows raised in question, the names of the tribes seeming vaguely familiar.

Realization dawned on him, and he let out a startled sound, ”Those former aristocratic families?! You are saying our son managed to unite them under his banner?!”

Bai Liqinʼs eyes shone with pride, ”Yes, Your Majesty. The same tribes that were banished from our empire due to their rebellion. He has brought them under his control.”

The Emperorʼs interest was piqued, and he leaned forward, ”Tell ʼusʼ more about this.”

Bai Liqin eagerly continued, ”He has gained their loyalty through his impressive military tactics and strategic planning. Wang Jianʼs leadership and charisma have won the hearts of these powerful tribes.”

The Emperorʼs mind was racing, contemplating the implications of his sonʼs achievement. ”This is impressive,” he said finally, ”The unification of these tribes couldnʼt have been an easy task. Our son has proven himself capable.”

Bai Liqin couldnʼt contain her joy as she rose from her bow, her eyes shining with hope, ”Yes, Your Majesty. Surely, with our sonʼs leadership, he can bring glory to our empire and turn the tides in our favor against our enemies.”

The Emperor considered her words carefully, his cold heart beginning to warm slightly at the thought of his sonʼs potential. ”Perhaps you are right,” he said thoughtfully, ”ʼWeʼ shall have to rethink ʼourʼ decision.”

Bai Liqinʼs heart swelled with relief and gratitude, ”Thank you, Your Majesty.”

The Emperor nodded, his mind made up, ”Send word to Wang Jian. ʼWeʼ shall revoke his exile and welcome him back to the capital. He shall have an important role to play in the future of our empire.”

Bai Liqinʼs heart overflowed with pride and emotion at the Emperorʼs words, ”Thank you, Your Majesty. I shall send word immediately.”

As she made her way out of the grand chamber, Bai Liqinʼs heart swelled with gratitude and love for her son, who had proven himself a capable leader and strategist. She couldnʼt wait to see him again and share in his future successes.

Bai Liqin received the letter a day after its dispatch, and it would require an equivalent amount of time for the letter to reach Wang Jian.
