Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Turning the Tables (2)_1

"President Bei, please don’t be angry," the Great Elder said with a smile.

Bei Wuchang looked at the Great Elder’s smiling face, released Dugu Qianye’s hand, and scoffed, "For Uncle He’s sake, hmph, hmph, I’ll let it go."

The Great Elder laughed and said, "Thank you, President Bei, for granting this humble old man some face." Then he turned to Dugu Qianye, "Miss Dugu, would you please discuss strategies with us?"

Dugu Qianye smiled and said, "Sure! But I’m not one of the Mo Family, after all, we’re not listed in your family tree. I charge for strategizing with outsiders, but seeing as you also carry the Mo surname, here’s what I’ll do: I’ll give you a twenty percent discount."

They wanted her to discuss strategies, which certainly meant they expected her to contribute. Of course, she intended to make them pay dearly, or else she couldn’t quell the anger in her heart!

"Aren’t you all supposed to return to the clan? How can you say you’re an outsider?" asked Mo Qiufeng.

"Whether we can return to the clan is still uncertain. The competition has only just begun. Even if we do decide to return, that’s a separate matter we’ve agreed upon. It has nothing to do with the present. Since I’m not a member of your clan right now, naturally, I’ll charge a fee," said Dugu Qianye.

Her meaning was clear: whether or not they would rejoin the clan later, she was not a Mo currently, so she would charge a fee!

"Haha, then may I ask, Miss Dugu, how much is your twenty percent discount?" the Great Elder inquired.

"Not much, the original price is ten million Purple Crystal Coins, so with the discount, that’s eight million," Dugu Qianye replied.

"Someone, fetch eight million Purple Crystal Coins," the Great Elder ordered someone outside, and then said to Dugu Qianye and Black and White Impermanence, "Please, have a seat."

Only then did Dugu Qianye and Black and White Impermanence find seats and sit down.

The Mo Family elders hadn’t expected Dugu Qianye to truly be Baili Xie, the Alchemy Grandmaster. Had they known earlier, they would never have let them participate in any competition to place! Now it was too late; having just angered her, hoping for her to return now depended on her willingness.

The elder who had insulted her just then saw the blaming looks from everyone else and wanted to bury his face in his tea cup.

Since the matter was significant, their strategy couldn’t be developed in a short time. They discussed in the hall until the next day’s dawn without any conclusion. To avoid arousing the Feng Family’s suspicion, all elders except for Mo Jingchuan and the Great Elder went to the competition venue as if nothing had happened to watch the day’s events. Only after the competition ended did they return to the Council Hall to continue deliberations.

At that moment, only Mo Jingchuan, the Great Elder, and Dugu Qianye remained in the Council Hall. Black and White Impermanence, who were not adept at such convoluted schemes, asked them to inform them when a conclusion was reached and went back to the Alchemist Guild.

"Family Head, Great Elder, have you thought of any strategies?"

"There are a few methods, but they don’t account for all conditions," Mo Jingchuan replied.

"How then shall we proceed!" The elders couldn’t help becoming anxious upon hearing that a whole day had passed without a solution.

"Actually, we don’t necessarily have to mess up their plans; we can also counter with a scheme of our own!" said Dugu Qianye, who had been silent since the other elders returned and was pondering by herself.

"Counter with a scheme?" The Great Elder pondered Dugu Qianye’s words, then his eyes lit up, "You mean..."

Seeing his reaction, Dugu Qianye knew he had understood what she meant, nodded, and said, "We’ve been focusing on how to disrupt their plans to overcome this crisis. However, given the numerous families and cities involved, we can’t come up with a plan. But if we change our approach, this can also be an opportunity for us."

"An opportunity? What opportunity?" Some were still confused by Dugu Qianye’s suggestion.

"Overthrow the Feng Family." Dugu Qianye spoke the four words lightly, but they inadvertently sealed the fate of an entire clan.

The elders were somewhat shocked by Dugu Qianye’s idea. They had always seen her as just a girl, yet she could suggest such a strategy.

"Dealing with a second-tier clan is not an easy task," said Mo Jingchuan, frowning.

"I actually find Qianye’s idea to be quite good. After all, we planned to gradually consume the Feng Family. Whether it’s slow consumption or a swift gulp, it’s all the same," the Great Elder said, "Do you have any specific plans?"

Dugu Qianye nodded, "I only have a rough idea for now. I’ve been thinking all day that the Feng Family plans to take advantage when nobody is at the division to eliminate those left behind, right? We can also take the opportunity when they dispatch all their manpower to obliterate their division. As long as we leave without being detected, we can set up an ambush for when they return upon receiving the news. I don’t have the details worked out, but if you think it’s feasible, then we can work out those particulars."

After Dugu Qianye finished, the hall fell silent as everyone considered the viability of her proposal.

"But most of our people are here for the competition, and to deal with the Feng Family, we might lack the necessary strength. We could even end up being killed by them," someone voiced their concern.

"We can adopt other methods to deal with them. It doesn’t have to be an open fight. There are many ways," she replied.

"How could we engage in such despicable acts?" another objected.

Dugu Qianye glanced at that person, "When they’re planning to ambush you, do you still need to consider whether such a method is honorable or not while returning the punch? Either way, it’s murder!"

The Great Elder laughed upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, "Indeed, the outcome is the same either way. So, what plans do you have?"

"Have you forgotten how my grandfather and I destroyed the Feng Family’s branch in Wulai City?" asked Dugu Qianye.

Upon hearing this, Mo Qiufeng chuckled with excitement, "Are you going to use that little black ball again? Hahaha, that was fun, I like it, I want to go!"

Dugu Qianye was exasperated. That was not a toy, for crying out loud!

"That’s called a bomb, not a little black ball. It can be used against their clan’s base," Dugu Qianye clarified, "And for the ambush, you can use poison."

"Poison?"

"Yes. Didn’t Wu Bo have me concoct poison for the Feng Family? They plan to use it against you, so naturally, you can do the same to them. We might as well take care of the Divine Temple’s people while we’re at it," said Dugu Qianye.

"Can you supply us with those two things?" asked Mo Jingchuan.

"Sure, just a twenty percent discount will do," Dugu Qianye said with a sly smile.

Wait—she’s charging for that too?!

Seeing Dugu Qianye’s unscrupulously smiling face, they were utterly speechless!
