That Is Not My Sister But Bibi Dong?!

Knowing that the matter could no longer be hidden, Li Haitian sighed softly and began to speak slowly:

"Black Spear Douluo, Wu Fuxuan, was actually childhood sweethearts with my younger sister."

As he said this, Li Haitian's eyes filled with a deep sense of sorrow.

"Wu Fuxuan had very poor talent, and back then, my father was strongly opposed to their relationship."

"They ran away together out of spite. My father, however, ordered me to bring my sister back."

"Sigh, I was foolish back then. I followed my stubborn father's orders, captured my sister, and locked her up, forcibly separating them."

"Later, my sister heard rumors that Wu Fuxuan had gone to the City of Slaughter to improve his strength, intending to prove to my father that he was a capable soul master."

"Not long after, my sister secretly escaped from confinement and went to the City of Slaughter to find Wu Fuxuan."

By this point, Li Haitian's eyes were filled with tears.

He knew all too well what kind of place the City of Slaughter was.

Most who went there never returned.

After that, there was no news of his sister.

He continued, "But Wu Fuxuan never went to the City of Slaughter. Instead, he joined the evil soul masters."

"And Wu Fuxuan's hatred for my Li family had reached an unimaginable level."

"Fifty years ago, when my father was still alive, Wu Fuxuan challenged him once. At that time, his strength was only that of a Soul Emperor. After a draw with my father, he secretly fled."

"I originally thought he had vanished from the world, but I didn't expect he would hide in the Heaven Dou Empire's army. A month and a half ago, he led the attack on the Li family... You must already know what happened afterward, young master."

After listening to Li Haitian's story, Ye Tian nodded lightly and sighed, "What a tragic story of love and heartbreak."

No wonder Li Haitian didn't interfere in Li Jiuchuan's romantic affairs—there was already such a tragedy in his past.

"Young master, grandpa, the tea is ready," Li Jiuchuan said, walking over with a pot in hand.

Ye Tian glanced at Li Jiuchuan, who was now a vibrant, youthful girl in her prime.

This filled Ye Tian with emotion. Given Li Haitian's age, his sister's tragic love story with Black Spear Douluo must have occurred seventy or eighty years ago.

A grudge triggered by a tragedy that had lasted nearly a century!

It was undeniable that some old-fashioned ideas truly needed to change.

"Why do you both look so unhappy? Did something happen?" Li Jiuchuan asked, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at them.

Li Haitian quickly waved it off. "It's nothing. Adults' matters—children shouldn't meddle."

He didn't want the matters of the previous generation to affect Li Jiuchuan.

Li Jiuchuan chuckled, revealing her white teeth. "Grandpa, I'm about the same age as young master Ye Tian. Aren't you being a bit biased?"

"How could you compare yourself to young master Ye Tian?" Li Haitian shot back, without holding back, crushing her enthusiasm.

This made Li Jiuchuan a bit dejected. Her energy faded, and she helplessly picked up the teapot and shrugged. "Fine, I'll just quietly be the little tea girl."

...

Meanwhile.

In the villa, Bibi Dong and two other women were having lunch.

Hu Liena picked up a white steamed bun, her face full of pride as she said, "I've got some big news today."

Bibi Dong, who was gracefully eating her meal, smiled faintly. "What big news?"

Leaning forward with a mysterious smile, Hu Liena said, "It's about the swap policy."

"Did you get the solution from Ye Tian?"

Bibi Dong, ever astute, connected the dots based on Hu Liena's behavior that day, almost guessing the whole truth.

"As expected of my teacher," Hu Liena giggled, giving a thumbs-up. Her teacher was truly impressive, instantly figuring it out.

"Oh? Tell us then."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue put down her chopsticks and looked at Hu Liena with great interest.

"Alright." Hu Liena nodded lightly and began to recount Ye Tian's method in full.

After she finished speaking, both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue fell into deep thought.

Ye Tian's idea was undeniably shocking.

"Why aren't you two saying anything?" Hu Liena asked hesitantly.

When she first heard Ye Tian explain the solution, she had been equally astonished.

But it wasn't so shocking that they couldn't say a word, right?

However, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue both ignored Hu Liena.

After more than ten minutes of silence, Qian Renxue finally spoke, taking a deep breath. "Ye Tian is truly a talent beyond this world!"

Before this, she had stopped admiring Ye Tian.

But after hearing Hu Liena's recount, Qian Renxue was utterly shocked.

It turned out Ye Tian had been holding back all along.

He simply didn't want to show off in front of her, not because he lacked talent.

This made Qian Renxue even more in awe—Ye Tian's mindset was incredibly strong and transcendent!

Ye Tian had clearly known that she was Qian Renxue.

If he had shown even a little of his talent, he could've secured a brilliant future.

But he had no interest at all.

Any soul master with such a mindset, even if their talent was poor, would have the potential to reach the rank of titled Douluo!

Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed slightly. Now that she was certain of Ye Tian's abilities, she was determined to recruit him!

"With this plan, half of the crisis in the Spirit Hall is already solved."

Bibi Dong came out of her deep thought, her eyes gleaming slightly.

"Is it really that impressive?"

Hu Liena found it hard to believe.

Could a few words really change the entire Spirit Hall?

Qian Renxue smiled, her lips curling. "Impressive? It's more than that—it's a plan for the ages."

She was slightly envious of Hu Liena.

Even someone as dense as Hu Liena could become Ye Tian's wife.

Bibi Dong gently nodded at Hu Liena.

"Xiaoxue is right. If Ye Tian's strategy can be implemented, the Spirit Hall could stand for another thousand years."

"Haha, I really underestimated Ye Tian," Hu Liena said joyfully. She was about to become Ye Tian's wife, after all.

If Ye Tian was impressive, didn't that make her impressive too?

Then, resting her chin on her hand, she mused, "But how can we ensure that the two great empires fall into an inescapable crisis?"

Bibi Dong said calmly, "Once we identify the key issues, executing the plan is simple. There are many ways to plunge the two empires into crisis—for instance, by using evil soul masters to create chaos or by triggering a beast tide."

"Or assassinating the crown prince," Qian Renxue suddenly said, locking eyes with Bibi Dong.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately understood.

Qian Renxue intended to frame the Star Luo Empire for the assassination.

"I heard from She Long that the affiliated merchant guilds of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have been active near the East Sea."

Sitting in her wheelchair, Qian Renxue lifted her chin proudly, a faint smile on her face.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan secretly colludes with Governor Qiangu Nanfeng of Silvis and assassinates the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"I wonder how Heaven Dou Empire will react when this accusation is thrown at them?"

The gleam in Bibi Dong's eyes grew brighter as she smiled lightly. "Excellent. Even if we can't provoke a full-scale war between the two empires, we can certainly keep them on edge for a few months."

"And during that time, the Spirit Hall can perfectly carry out the swap policy!"
