Gu Jingman cast a cold look at Widow Wang. She didn't think much of this woman. ”Chairwoman Wang, you are very famous. I don't care if you destroy others, but if you dare to bother me, don't blame me for being impolite.”

”Sister Gu, you must be joking. You are so protective towards your brother. That's why Sect Leader Jiang had to personally apologize with so much humility after he had unintentionally offended him.” Widow Wang made sure she controlled her smile. Gu Jingman's expression made it clear that if the teasing continued, she might explode at Widow Wang.

”You better look after yourself.” Gu Jingman laughed coldly at her words, without bothering about Widow Wang again. Widow Wang's speech was clearly designed to sow disharmony between Gu Jingham and Jiang Guhuai. After all, the speech of Jiang Guhuai previously had been polite and apologetic merely in order to dissuade Gu Jingman from seeking revenge. However, with Widow Wang describing the speech as a humble apology, would what Jiang Guhuai, who after all was a Sect Leader, think?

Indeed, after Jiang Guhuai heard the words, his face changed a little. However, he merely glanced at Widow Wang and didn't utter another word.

Gu Jingman couldn't be bothered paying attention to them. Regardless of how Widow Wang tried to cause trouble between them, Jiang Guhuai wouldn't dare to challenge Gu Jingman head on.

”Sect Leader Gu, your Gu Clan Fort's influence is abundant,” a man in his early forties said, walking over. ”It was said that Gu Clan's Old Sect Leader had killed three experts in Qi Nucleation realm half a year ago. He is indeed an exceptional expert who has gained vigor with age.” The man put a hand over his fist in front of his chest at Gu Jingman. There were two seats between Gu Jingman and him. The man was the Leader of Triad Sect which was one of the five big influences.

”Sect Leader Du is too generous.” Gu Jingman nodded her head while her face relaxed quite a bit.

Half a year ago, Gu Clan Fort had a sudden change. They faced the combined oppression of the Tang Clan and Zhou Clan Manor and had nearly been forced to leave Yuntai Mountain where they had operated for a hundred years. After that, both Zhou Clan's Clan Leader and Tang Clan's Clan Leader, who had been against Gu Clan Fort, died and both big Clans were destroyed while Gu Clan Fort got over the crisis.

At the time, everyone thought that Zhou Clan's Clan Leader and Tang Clan's Clan Leader were killed by Gu Clan Fort's Old Clan Leader. At once, Gu Clan Fort's reputation increased tremendously and it was able to rule over all the ancient martial arts influences in the Yuntai Mountain region. It also got the respect and fear of many ancient martial arts aristocratic families.

Gu Jingman had always been muddled-headed about these events. She didn't understand what exactly had happened. Gu Clan Fort had obviously been at a disadvantage but, in the end, had managed to get rid of the Zhou Clan and Tang Clan. However, as her grandfather had gone into seclusion after the events, she had nobody to ask about it.

Then she had met Mo Wen in Dafang Sect and the series of things that then happened made her realize that Mo Wen must have been involved with the events of that time.

”Sect Leader Gu, this underground fight with Yamaguchi-gumi is of great significance so I hope you will have the big picture in mind and give it your best effort. Obviously, the Triad Sect will work hard for it and do our best in fighting against Yamaguchi-gumi.”

Du Pingsheng, leader of Triad Sect, had deliberated a little before stating his thoughts. He was different from Jiang Guhuai as he was an ancient martial arts practitioner. Even though they were quite far away, he had been able to hear the conversation between Gu Jingman and Zheng Shuangshuang.

Regarding the infiltration of Yamaguchi-gumi's drug market in Hua Dong region, his and Gu Jingman's stance had always been very clear. At the same time, their two influences were the strongest among the five big influences, so he had high hopes on this ally – Gu Jingman.

However, after hearing Gu Jingman's intention to get someone to participate casually, he felt something was wrong instantly. He questioned whether Gu Jingman had already given up, or had perhaps made some kind of agreement with the Yamaguchi-gumi. If that was so, they might not win this underground fight. Without the strong support of the Gu Clan Fort, he was not confident in defeating Yamaguchi-gumi.

Both parties had established the rules of the underground fight. Each side would choose five participants to fight each other round after rounds until the five participants of a side had been completely defeated.

The Yamaguchi-gumi's side could choose five people while the five big influences would choose one person from each influence. Therefore, it meant that after Gu Jingman had chosen Mo Wen, she couldn't choose another person. If she had chosen a youngster to participate in such an important underground fight, what else could it be other than throwing the fight intentionally?

Widow Wang took the chance to interrupt. ”Sister Gu, you were strongly against Yamaguchi-gumi previously. Are you that now? You have gathered all of us here. Then, you simply give up, that is somehow neither righteous nor virtuous…” Window Wang naturally wouldn't give up any chance to strike at Gu Jingman. She was directly saying that Gu Jingman was unrighteous and an unvirtuous traitor who was cooperating with the enemy.

”I said the same to Sect Leader Gu just now, but she was adamant about it and simply refused to change her mind,” Jiang Guhuai said with a helpless expression.

Another middle-aged man of average stature walked over and spoke bluntly, ”Sect Leader Gu, please have the big picture in mind as this matter is of great significance. Are you pretending to be for Hua Xia while helping the Yamaguchi-gumi secretly?” The man, who was the Gang Leader of the Black Leonard Gang, clearly saw Gu Jingman as a traitor. He looked at Gu Jingman with resentment.

”Hmph. Whatever I do isn't subject to your critique,” Gu Jingman said coldly. She hadn't expected that even before the underground fight had begun, these people would be objecting to her one after another. Some people were even attacking her both in the open and secretly, taking the opportunity to pick on her.
