Chapter 150 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

Tie Weiqi and Pang Ce were stunned by Fan Ziruo's words. Chu Fan had always been the "simple and honest" type of protagonist, with an average intelligence and no interest in factional struggles. Otherwise, He would also be stunned. Although He Yunxiao didn't quite understand what Ziruo was saying, he didn't care about the conflicts between the Iron Eagle Gang and the Dagger Gang. What's the point of a bunch of men fighting each other? Is it more exciting than watching a woman wrestle? If it wasn't for Ziruo's kindness and willingness to mediate, He Yunxiao would already be having dinner at the Linxuan Palace. Eating and occasionally glancing at the graceful and elegant Fan Ziruo, who sat neatly beside him, He Yunxiao couldn't help but receive warning glares from his wife every time he looked at her. Even when she glared, she was still beautiful and adorable. After looking at Ziruo a few times, He Yunxiao felt a sharp gaze on his back. Turning around, he found Chu Fan staring at him. He politely smiled, not taking it seriously at first. However, He Yunxiao couldn't shake the feeling that Chu Fan was still watching him. Every time he looked at Chu Fan, their gazes met. The more He Yunxiao looked, the more suspicious and worried he became. Why does Chu Fan keep staring at me? He won't try to harm me, will he? But why doesn’t he have any intention to kill? Thinking back to Chu Fan's recent eager attitude towards him and his unwavering determination in the original novel "Miss, I Just Want to Cultivate", He Yunxiao's expression became increasingly strange. Could it be that Chu Fan doesn't like women? Is he the kind of male lead who doesn't like women in the harem novels? This is interesting. Why didn’t I wait to finish the novel before transmigrating? Wait, if Chu Fan doesn't like women, does that mean... Subconsciously, He Yunxiao shifted a little closer to where Fan Ziruo was seated. ... Compared to Tie Weiqi, Pang Ce was much more modest. Since Fan Ziruo was his teacher, he had no reservations and asked directly, "Teacher, wouldn't both Tie Weiqi and I be falling into each other's trap if we engage in a battle?" Perhaps due to her unfazed emotions, Fan Ziruo was naturally suited to be a teacher. Not only was she emotionally stable, but she was also very patient. "The current situation is where the enemy is hidden, and we are exposed. Moreover, we don't know the enemy's intentions and their other hidden methods. The only thing we can be sure of is that they may have martial artists at the Grandmaster level. And they want to use the Dagger Gang for something." After Ziruo finished speaking, Pang Ce and Tie Weiqi nodded frequently. They had already abandoned their prejudices against the woman and completely approved of Ziruo as the mediator. Fan Ziruo continued, "On this matter, there are three strategies: the upper, middle, and lower strategies. The upper strategy is as mentioned earlier, which is to use the guise of 'battle,' to deceive and covertly analyze their actions before planning. The middle strategy is for both parties to step back. The Iron Eagle Gang claims it's a misunderstanding, while the Dagger Gang remains silent. The lower strategy is to maintain the current situation, but it must be restrained, and we can't engage in confrontations that diminish our strength." Pang Ce said, "The upper strategy is the best." Tie Weiqi, on the other hand, said, "It's better to choose the middle strategy, it's more prudent." Naturally, Ziruo was inclined towards the upper strategy, but she didn't want to be too explicit. So, she asked, "Onlookers see more clearly, while those involved are confused. Young Master He, what do you think is the best way to handle this matter?" He Yunxiao was eager for the situation to be resolved quickly. Since he got the impression that Chu Fan didn't like women, he felt uncomfortable all over. "The upper strategy. I support the upper strategy." Ziruo asked, "And what about Sir Chu?" Chu Fan didn’t fully understand the situation, but since He Yunxiao supported the upper strategy, he said, "If Brother He supports the upper strategy, then I also support it." He Yunxiao hastily added, "Brother Chu, you don't have to follow my lead." Chu Fan smiled warmly and said, "I naturally believe in Brother He's judgment." Hearing this, He Yunxiao couldn't help but move a little closer to where Fan Ziruo was seated. Although most people present supported the upper strategy, the final decision still lay in Tie Weiqi's hands. Fan Ziruo smiled, "Young Master, do you have any doubts?" Tie Weiqi looked up at Fan Ziruo. She continued, "Today, Young Master Tie was trapped by the Dagger Gang for quite some time. Waiting on all sides, only Liu Feiying came to assist. Young Master Tie's hesitation in choosing the upper strategy may not be due to a lack of desire, but unlike Pang Ce, he may not be able to gather many trusted allies." The shock in Tie Weiqi's heart was beyond measure. This woman, she saw through all his thoughts after just one meeting. He had no choice but to force a bitter smile, "Exactly. Although I am the young master of the Iron Eagle Gang, my words are not always heeded in the gang, and my authority is limited. I truly can't muster many trustworthy brothers to accompany Pang Ce in this act." The Iron Eagle Gang was indeed much larger than the Dagger Gang, but it was a surprise to Tie Weiqi that the position of the young gang leader was overshadowed by Pang Ce of the Dagger Gang. Fan Ziruo said, "Young Master Tie, you need not put on an act. You only need to make a temporary agreement with Pang Ce on when and where to begin the fight, then clarify the reasons and borrow other elders from the gang to use. You can observe the reactions of those who are borrowed and determine who is wholeheartedly devoted and who is not." "Pang Ce, on the other hand, needs to lead his trusted subordinates to deal with Tie Weiqi. Coming in fierce and leaving in disarray. It must look like a complete defeat, then order his confidants to disperse and go into hiding, then observe the situation within the gang at that time. If someone takes advantage of the situation to seize power, decisive action must be taken without showing any mercy." "After this incident, there should be no internal concerns in the gang." Tie Weiqi was terrified, and Pang Ce was thrilled. They never expected that Miss Fan, a mere woman, would have such courage and insight! Pang Ce quickly asked, "Miss, what about after this incident? How do I avenge my brother?" Fan Ziruo replied, "Observe silently." Then she looked at Tie Weiqi, "Young Master Tie, is it your gang's doing that injured Master Pang?" Tie Weiqi shook his head, "Definitely not. 'Iron Falls Flat Eagle' is derived from the 'Leaf Palm Technique,' it's not a vicious martial art. Moreover, my father and Master Pang's skills are not much different, injuring him with just one palm wouldn't be possible." Fan Ziruo said slowly, "If it really wasn't your gang that injured him, then Young Master Tie might be in danger. The martial artist at the Grandmaster level imitated the Iron Eagle's martial arts to cause harm to others, indicating a challenge to the martial arts community of Yinjing. If the Dagger Gang were injured and remained restrained, failing to achieve his goal, others would be in trouble." Tie Weiqi was shocked. Without saying a word, he hurriedly got up to thank Fan Ziruo. ... After dinner, as night fell, Fan Ziruo sat in the carriage belonging to the He family and slowly made her way back home. After the annoying Tie Weiqi and the others had left, He Yunxiao couldn't wait to enter the carriage and get close to Ziruo. Sitting side by side, the two of them did not speak as the night market buzzed outside the carriage. After a moment of silence, Ziruo said, "Young Master, are you coming tomorrow?" "Why do you say that, Ziruo?" "Is Young Master coming to my house only for me? Since I have agreed to Young Master, why would you come again?" Hearing Ziruo's words, He Yunxiao knew she was saying this on purpose, to provoke him to visit her again the next day. Unlike Jiang who was more straightforward, Ziruo often spoke with vague implications. He Yunxiao smiled, "I won't go during the day tomorrow." "Not coming is also fine. Ziruo still has novels to write tomorrow. I can't focus if someone is sitting next to me." "Not in the daytime, but at night." "You can’t come at night... Is Young Master unconcerned about his reputation?" "I'm already like this, what reputation do I have left? Coming in secret won't hurt anyone." "At night, after we are married..." Tl: Soothsayer.io
