The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 439 - 192: Entering the Martial World for the Second Time (Conclusion)
Chapter 439: Chapter 192: Entering the Martial World for the Second Time (Conclusion)
However, Pavilion Master Wenren’s original plan was to find a "scapegoat," not to step forward himself.
He Tiantian: ...Sorry, I came through, so He Yutian could never be Pavilion Master Wenren’s scapegoat!
Without He Yutian, there might be someone else.
Like Gongsun He, who was just poisoned by Zi Yi taking the opportunity.
Unfortunately, Gongsun He had almost revealed his connection with Pavilion Master Wenren not long ago, and even seemed to threaten Wenren.
Pavilion Master Wenren would naturally not allow him to continue living.
With Gongsun He dead, Zi Yi, obviously his loyal slave, speaks in a way that’s essentially no different from Wenren himself.
Pavilion Master Wenren had never looked highly upon a lowly slave like Zi Yi; he worried that she wouldn’t handle the "exposure" well.
...Fine, let him do it himself.
"Pavilion Master Wenren, what do you mean by this?"
Pei Jinghou was no fool and naturally sensed that Wenren’s words were not complimentary but rather had a hidden message.
He prided himself on never having done anything against the code of martial heroes, so naturally, he didn’t feel guilty but responded with a direct counterattack.
"What do I mean? Hehe, doesn’t Hero Pei have any idea?"
Pavilion Master Wenren feigned innocence.
Pei Jinghou suddenly had a bad premonition.
Wait, could it be—
While Pei Jinghou was inwardly shocked and suspicious, he heard Pavilion Master Wenren continue, "If Alliance Leader Pei isn’t aware, there’s someone who surely is!"
Pei Jinghou’s heart skipped a beat; he hadn’t guessed wrong.
Pavilion Master Wenren, the notorious killer and information broker of the Itinerant World, indeed knew his mother’s identity.
Should he stop him from speaking?
This was Pei Jinghou’s instinctual reaction; his fists clenched, ready to unleash the powerful Dragon Subduing Palm in the next moment.
But, almost immediately, Pei Jinghou questioned himself—
How had he become like this?
His mother’s identity was what it was; even if Pavilion Master Wenren publicly revealed it, he would only be telling the truth.
How, how could he feel murderous toward Pavilion Master Wenren?!
He was a great hero who had received the education of the Righteous Path, a grand Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch; how could he have such sordid, malicious thoughts?!
Let it be!
The secret would be unveiled sooner or later.
If his mother’s past was revealed, he wouldn’t have to struggle between loyalty and filial piety anymore!
Let everything be as heaven wills.
Pei Jinghou gave up the struggle, ready to let Pavilion Master Wenren speak the truth.
Yet Pavilion Master Wenren seemed intent on provoking Pei Jinghou, stopping just short of speaking, instead revealing a face full of malice, "In my opinion, we should invite the person in question."
"To prevent accusations of slander against me when I tell the truth!"
What did he mean?
Was this Wenren intending not just to disclose his mother’s past but to bring her before everyone to face criticism and scorn?
This was nothing short of a public execution!
Pei Jinghou glared furiously at Pavilion Master Wenren with wide, fierce eyes.
Little did he know that this look pleased Pavilion Master Wenren even more.
Yes, this was the look of someone infuriated by embarrassment, this was the look of a living, breathing person.
The past Pei Jinghou was too good at pretending, always upright and unselfish, always with a reputation that reached the clouds.
Who did he think he was?
Just a martial wildling, daring to compare himself with his noble royal bloodline!
"Zi Yi, haven’t you yet invited the Grand Madam from the mansion?"
Pavilion Master Wenren, with a malicious smile, casually ordered Zi Yi.
Zi Yi, the top-grade sycophant who obeyed every command, didn’t hesitate a moment at her master’s words; with a tap of her foot, she flew into the air.
Seeing this, Pei Jinghou could no longer contain himself.
He threw a punch, knocking Zi Yi down from mid-air.
Zi Yi landed in an odd position, then engaged in combat with Pei Jinghou.
"Well, well, Hero Pei, your mother was a sinner from the previous dynasty, and you, using your status as the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, collude with the Hulu to subvert the Tianchao Dynasty!"
"And about the ambush the Righteous Army of martial heroes faced at Border City, was it a coincidence, or did you betray everyone?"
"Poor Old Sect Leader Guo of the Beggar Gang, to die tragically at the hands of a traitor like you!"
"And the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, so many skilled fighters, all buried at Border City!"
Pavilion Master Wenren is worthy of being Gongsun He’s master; with a single statement, he proved to be just as eloquent as Gongsun He.
He not only exposed Mrs. Pei Chai Fengyi’s identity but also dragged the Beggar Gang and Heaven and Earth Alliance into it.
Especially the Heaven and Earth Alliance, whose gang leader had claimed to be the great grandson of the previous dynasty.
Now another figure from the past emerges... ahem, the great grandson Chai, knowing his own secrets, felt somewhat infuriated by embarrassment.
But he didn’t harp on Chai Fengyi’s identity as a princess of the previous dynasty; instead, he used his own brothers as an excuse, "Alliance Leader Pei, my Heaven and Earth Alliance lost hundreds of brothers at Border City!"
