On that day at the Beggar Gang convention, Wenren Jie did not become the Beggar Gang Leader.
Because he was already the Master of Carefree Pavilion, the elders and squad leaders were wary of him.
Instead, it was his maid Zi Yi who, with her tricky poison needles, killed several challenging squad leaders and successfully snatched the position of Beggar Gang Leader.
Wenren Jie knew that Zi Yi was unwaveringly loyal to him; having her as the Gang Leader was no different than if he held the position himself.
Perhaps, it would be even more convenient.
Thus, Wenren Jie hinted to Gongsun He to help Zi Yi to establish a firm footing in the Beggar Gang.
Without He Tiantian's involvement, there was neither a New nor an Old Beggar Gang, just a unified Beggar Gang.
Under Wenren Jie's influence, Gongsun He and Zi Yi, in the name of the Beggar Gang, challenged Jade Villa.
