Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 147: Ye Wenxin, the Tool

Reflecting on her recent conversation with Su Mei, Ye Wenxin became more certain that Su Mei intended to take over her Wenxin Gang. No, it seemed Su Mei wanted to absorb her entirely.

"Xiangsi, Su Mei is very dangerous, but I've been caught in a secret, so I can't openly oppose her. If you want to save your useless brother, you'll have to rely on your own efforts," Ye Wenxin advised, contemplating her relationship with Gu Aotian and Gu Xiangsi. Since she had already claimed what should have been Gu Aotian's, she didn't want to see him meet a terrible end.

However, the matter of the ice physique was something they shared.

If exposed, it would lead to mutual destruction. Su Mei couldn't harm her, but wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity either.

A glint of coldness flickered in Ye Wenxin's eyes. She was tempted to experience the thrill of a dark, stormy night of murder.

She could kill now, with the Ten Great Immortal Sects in chaos, and no one would suspect the Demon Lord's actions. However, killing Su Mei wouldn't solve the problem; others like her would emerge.

Human desires are greedy and endless. Ye Wenxin needed to restore Gu Aotian to his original state so that Gu Xiangsi, as his sister, wouldn't be constantly troubled by these issues.

"I understand," Gu Xiangsi sighed, somewhat disappointed.

She still relied on Ye Wenxin, and this reliance would hinder her progress. Ye Wenxin recalled Su Mei's words, suddenly finding them reasonable.

Gu Xiangsi was the type who needed to be pushed to move forward, so Ye Wenxin couldn't solve this problem for her.

"I believe you can handle this," Ye Wenxin chose to observe, though she still gave Gu Xiangsi some encouragement.

Gu Xiangsi seemed unsure, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of melancholy, but she didn't plead further, appearing determined to stick to her own plan.

Ye Wenxin withheld her final words: if Gu Xiangsi couldn't resolve it, Ye Wenxin would help manage the aftermath. But she couldn't say this, as it would prevent Gu Xiangsi from staying vigilant.

After a moment, Gu Xiangsi returned to her cheerful self, pulling a dagger from her storage pouch.

"By the way, Sis, this is for you."

"A dagger?" Ye Wenxin examined the seemingly expensive dagger, recalling Gu Xiangsi's divine axes, and thought she had hit it big.

"I persuaded my master for a long time to get this. I always meant to give it to you but never had the chance. With the Immortal Sect Grand Meeting approaching, you'll find it useful." It was a profound-grade weapon, modest in appearance, light as a feather yet sharp enough to slice through iron, perfect for imagining the thrill of using it in battle.

"Your master is very kind to you."

"Yes, I think so too. Besides, my master and I both agree that men aren't anything special," Gu Xiangsi said excitedly about her master, Jin Xiaoqin, of the Disciplinary Hall.

Listening to the tales of master and disciple, Ye Wenxin thought Gu Xiangsi was quite lucky. Reflecting on her own masters...
