Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1096: Chapter 65: Junior Sister Xu Cannot Think of a Vicious Plan

Xu Yinglian was silent for a moment, then was suddenly terrified, looking at Shi Liuli with completely different eyes.

This, this is to incite Jiao Xiao to harm Senior Brother severely, causing irreversible injuries, making it completely impossible for Senior Brother to forgive her?

Such a vicious heart!

Though one should indeed be ruthless to a rival in love, Dong You’s ability to come up with such a cruel scheme without hesitation truly makes it difficult to trust him… Wait, I think I never trusted her in the first place?

“It’s not difficult to execute,” Shi Liuli continued, “Jiao Xiao’s stubborn and extreme nature would definitely not entertain any talk about ‘refining the Heaven-Mending Stone’ if she encounters her beloved here, but would insist on taking him back to Shushan.”

“Now that his mind is full of stone-refinement, there will surely be a fierce clash with Jiao Xiao. Jiao Xiao cannot sever their bond, but he might. So we just need to… Why are you looking at me like that?”

Xu Yinglian: ………

So I was overthinking?

“Ahem, nothing.” Of course, she couldn’t say “I thought too ill of you,” as that would only provoke Shi Liuli to retort with “thinking sinisterly of others.” So, she curiously asked, “Then what should we do?”

“We need to discuss this carefully,” Shi Liuli replied calmly.

She actually had a rough plan in mind but couldn’t reveal it entirely to Xu Yinglian, as that would certainly arouse her suspicion.

Discussing conspiracies… To be honest, Xu Yinglian was quite disgusted with such things. No other reason, just pure disdain for the dirtiness of manipulating minds.

But the rival in love was already on the table. If she didn’t use conspiracies to get rid of her, she’d have to wait for Jiao Xiao to come with a sword. Thus, she forced down her aversion and said:

“I have no experience with such matters. I guess it basically means having him say something to irritate her?”

Shi Liuli, being extremely clever, immediately sensed Xu Yinglian’s perfunctory attitude and smiled, saying:

“Your general idea, as you said, isn’t wrong, but we need to discuss the details.”

“Like what?” Xu Yinglian frowned slightly.

“Qiong Ying can also see that what he values most now is the Heaven-Mending matter,” Shi Liuli explained, “As long as it doesn’t hinder that, anything can be discussed; but if he can’t mend the heavens, then there’s nothing to discuss.”

“Could it be…” Xu Yinglian’s mind was sharp, immediately understanding Shi Liuli’s hint.

Find a way to have An Zhisu stop the mending of the heavens.

As for the method, it was even simpler…

“Are you planning to use ‘once Senior Brother mends the heavens, he will ascend’ to persuade Jiao Xiao to intervene?” She immediately turned cold, saying coldly, “No, your plan is more than that… You want to have Jiao Xiao sabotage Senior Brother’s ascension plan, ultimately shifting blame and resentment onto Jiao Xiao!”

What a cunning plan to kill with a borrowed knife! If it were me, I couldn’t come up with such ruthless tactics…

“Huh?” Shi Liuli said blankly, “I meant secretly reminding Jiao Xiao that ‘if he successfully mends the heavens, he will directly ascend,’ provoking her to interfere during the mending process.”

Xu Yinglian: ………

“Well, that’s also reasonable.” She had to forcibly patch up, “With Jiao Xiao’s nature, she wouldn’t want to make concessions and would most likely try to seize the Heaven-Mending Stone shards outright, unwilling to let him gain merit. In that case, Senior Brother certainly wouldn’t let it go, and the two would inevitably break up.”

Shi Liuli looked at her quietly, then suddenly said:

“However, your strategy seems to be much more ingenious than mine.”

Xu Yinglian was greatly embarrassed and had to brace herself to say:

“It’s just a casual remark, not well thought out. If Dong You has any better ideas, please correct me.”

“I have no better idea,” Shi Liuli calmly shook her head, as if saying, “your idea is already as vicious as it gets, I can’t think of anything more vicious,” “Actually, we both want to prevent him from ascending, but Jiao Xiao is the most active, so employing her is reasonable. Besides, it doesn’t go against her nature, right?”

Xu Yinglian simply couldn’t voice something like “the borrowed knife had its own intentions,” and remained silent.

“However,” Shi Liuli continued, “while Qiong Ying’s idea is good, it does have a problem.”

“If Jiao Xiao, trapped by love, chooses to submit?” Xu Yinglian tentatively asked.

“No,” Shi Liuli said, “If he, overwhelmed by emotion, doesn’t resist and gets impulsively slain by Jiao Xiao, what then?”

“Impossible!” Xu Yinglian simply didn’t believe it, “With Senior Brother’s self-centered nature, even if he deliberately lost to Jiao Xiao, he would definitely have backup plans for self-preservation!”

“That’s just what you think of him,” Shi Liuli thought, if he were truly invincible, how would I have found him?

Hmm, wait…

She suddenly realized she might have overlooked someone.

The Kunlun Mirror.

This artifact spirit, though seemingly seldom expressing opinions, had accompanied him longer and could deeply influence his decisions.

Planned to team up with Qiong Ying to get rid of Jiao Xiao, what does the Kunlun Mirror think?

Would it see through our plan? Would it… intervene to stop us?

Both were lost in thought when Chen Guanshui just entered the inner room, seeing the two ladies with furrowed brows.

Fortunately, they weren’t arguing.

“Ahem,” Chen Guanshui coughed, pulling them back to reality, “Do you have any ideas about the Heaven-Mending Stone refinement?”

Xu Yinglian looked at him strangely and mockingly said:

“What opinion does Senior Brother have?”

“What insight could he have?” Shi Liuli said flatly, “Back when he managed the Heavenly Craft Workshop, even getting him to do anything was exceedingly difficult. Now that you and I are here, he wouldn’t make any effort, probably not even thinking.”

“Friend Dong You, please don’t group yourself with me,” Xu Yinglian said sternly, “Back in the Kunlun Taiqing Sect, Senior Brother was diligent in managing affairs. He directed battles against the Demon Cult and negotiated with Shushan and Penglai on behalf of Kunlun. Otherwise, how could he be the Head of the Kunlun Sect’s successor? Oh, I forgot, in Penglai, Jingyun isn’t the successor, perhaps because a certain someone claiming to be a good wife didn’t give him room to perform?”

“I see,” Shi Liuli said quietly, “In Penglai, he had a competent helper, enjoying leisure; in Kunlun, with no assistance, he had to be hands-on, probably due to mistrust in a certain Junior Sister’s abilities?”

As the two of them squabbled back and forth, Chen Guanshui was also helpless, thinking he’d have to mediate, what else could be done!
