Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

The group then departed from their current location, making their way towards Wang Haoʼs factionʼs designated area within the camp.

After their discussion with the members of the Heavenly Blade Sect, the groupʼs conversation extended longer than anticipated. Eventually, they dispersed, each member returning to their respective duties.

Just before parting ways, Wang Jian approached Wang Hao with a request, his tone carrying a hint of curiosity, ”May I attempt to engage Guan Yin in conversation? I believe she might share valuable insights about Ye Chen.”

Wang Haoʼs response was cold and cautious, as he warned, ”Certainly, but tread lightly. Do not provoke her.”

Assuring Wang Hao of his caution, Wang Jian set off towards Guan Yinʼs tent.

Aware of his brotherʼs potential for mischief, Wang Hao assigned some of his personal guards to discreetly monitor Wang Jianʼs actions. Their task was to ensure that Wang Jian only interacted with Guan Yin and refrained from approaching other members of the faction.

Should they witness any deviation from this plan, they were to intervene immediately.

Wang Haoʼs cautious approach stemmed from his knowledge that many warriors on the battlefield held a deep admiration for Wang Jianʼs exceptional combat prowess.

Although Wang Hao himself was no slouch in terms of fighting ability, he didnʼt want to take any chances when it came to allowing Wang Jian unrestricted access to his factionʼs members.

As for Guan Yin, Wang Hao reluctantly decided to grant Wang Jian the opportunity to approach her, fully confident that his brotherʼs efforts would yield no fruitful response.

Within moments, Wang Jian found himself standing in front of Guan Yinʼs tent. He approached her quietly and whispered in a deliberate manner, his voice carrying a mix of familiarity and menace, ”Greetings, Guan Yin. Iʼm certain you recognize my voice. Yes, it is I, Wang Jian, the Seventh Prince. I have come here to enlighten you on a rather intriguing fact: Ye Chen, your childhood friend, once attempted to assassinate me and even took the life of one of my dearest companions. Initially, I had planned to administer a fittingly cruel punishment for his transgressions. However, much to my surprise, he has now transformed into a demon.”

”Now, I wonʼt restrain myself any longer, and I shall extend my retribution to his family as well. You have until nightfall to convince me of his parentsʼ innocence in this matter. Failure to do so will result in their eternal suffering—a lifetime of excruciating pain, tormented by the agonizing anticipation of a death that will never come.”

Wang Jian paused, allowing his words to linger in the air, before concluding, ”You may choose to believe that I am merely employing these words as a ploy to entice you into revealing information about Ye Chen and his abilities. But I implore you to take a moment and consider whether I am truly capable of such ruthless actions. The answer, I believe, will become clear to you.”

With his acute awareness, Wang Jian sensed the subtle movements within the tent as his words sank in. He knew that Guan Yin had been affected by his calculated approach.

Wang Jian understood that a woman of Guan Yinʼs virtue and righteous character, chosen by the very essence of the world to play the role of a protagonistʼs heroine, could not remain indifferent to his declaration.

He knew that polite entreaties to coax her out of the tent would prove futile.

Guan Yin had already disregarded the face of Wang Hao, her factionʼs leader and the Crown Prince, and it was highly unlikely that she would give any consideration to Wang Jian.

Her perception of him as an evil individual worked in his favor, providing him with the opportunity to convince her that he was willing to inflict harm upon innocent individuals for the actions of their son.

As anticipated, it didnʼt take long before Guan Yin emerged from her tent, her countenance displaying a resolute determination.

Wang Jianʼs calculated strategy had succeeded in drawing her out, compelling her to face him and engage in what was to come.

Guan Yinʼs voice carried a weight of seriousness as she called out, ”I am prepared to have a conversation with you. Come closer!”

However, Wang Jian remained unperturbed, his nonchalant demeanor unwavering as he continued walking without a care in the world. Though his actions appeared indifferent, inside, a mischievous smirk played upon his lips.
