Chapter 397: Strategy Planning (1/2)
The moment those words left XiMen Sa's mouth, the crowd burst into an uproar!
Without the backing of a certain family with over a thousand years of history, would the newly appointed young Head XiMen Sa act so unbridled? Everyone present had the same thought, and while they were not too sure if the XiMen family was really going to attach itself to the Yu Family, based on the words of their new family head at least they would have some external help. This sentence helped a lot of the anxious XiMen members to regain their fighting spirit!
And right at this time, the so-called supporter of the XiMen Family, Yu ManLou was still in the process of contemplation!
Northern Wei's Bright Jade City had also turned into a focal point for everyone! Countless intelligence agents flowed into the city like droplets of water, and every movement of the Yu Family, including the guards and the chefs, were all taken down and transmitted back into their sources!
Such a huge ambition caused them to be an enemy of the entire world!
”Things have gone as planned so far, so what will be our next step?” In the Sky Bearing Empire, the Ling Residence, Old Madam Ling leaned back on a soft couch as she stared at the quiet girl before her, a look of praise on her face. ”To think that even though Tian'er isn't around, you could still hold up the Ling Family and Courtyard with one hand, and even handle the problem with the Yu Family, making them enter into a messy situation here. This really gives me endless joy. Right now, with just one move from you causing the entire continent to get riled up, this old woman has really underestimated you!”
”All of this was planned ahead by the young n.o.ble. Chen'er has just dutifully followed her orders, how would I dare to take credit?” Ling Chen smiled gently, as deep emotions flashed in her eyes.
”Eh?? Why are you still calling him young n.o.ble? This la.s.s, why can't you change your way of address?” Old Madam Ling narrowed her eyes as she smirked meaningfully, ”Could it be that this old woman's eyes are playing tricks on her? It must be that kid Ling Tian not living up to expectations. If he was just a bit more capable, then this old woman here would already have a grandson to carry…”
”Old Madam!” Ling Chen lost her composure, blus.h.i.+ng totally red.
”Hahaha…” A gratified laugh came out from Old Madam Ling, ”This old woman will not concern herself with the matters of you youngsters. All shall be left up to fate. I believe Tian'er will not let me down, and even more will not let you down.” Her words seemed to carry some deeper meaning.
With a reddened face, Ling Chen changed the topic. ”So, based on Madam's thoughts, what should be our next step?”
”That would have to depend on you; whatever you think, will be our plan!” The Old Madam teased her, before turning solemn as she continued, ”In front of this old woman, you don't need to hide anything. Speak your thoughts, this old woman will also help you to plan and accommodate. Planning is always slower as compared to action, thus every plan would have to encompa.s.s all possibilities, to adapt to the changes as and when needed.”
Ling Chen gently nodded as she replied, ”What Old Madam is trying to say, is that the situation outside has already reached a state of confusion, to the point that it is on the verge of explosion. While we have used many tricks to bring attention to the Northern Wei's Yu Family, facing their thousand years of acc.u.mulation, no other family is willing to make a hasty move. So long as the Yu Family was to stake it all and aim at any one of the families, then they would definitely be unable to escape from their fate. Hence, while the continent is chaotic, it has not reached the tipping point, and all major influences are currently waiting for the family who cannot endure any longer to spark the chaos.”
”Wait,” Old Madam Ling seemed to have smelled something fishy as she interrupted, ”But your plan this time has been too smooth, even to the point that all of your hidden actions seemed to have been rehea.r.s.ed. Especially the side on Northern Wei, isn't it too smooth actually?” Old Madam Ling frowned. ”You've been planning this for a long time, haven't you?”
”I'll not hide it from Old Madam, that's right.” Ling Chen light out a small smile, her nonchalant tone letting the experienced old woman feel some shock as she interjected, ”How did you people plan so far ahead? How did Tian'er achieve this?”
