Qian Renxue's Plan Failed? Twenty Years Wasted?

Seeing Bibi Dong so shocked, Song Ye knew that revealing the truth really could scare someone senseless.

He hurriedly reassured her:

"Mother, why are you getting so worked up? The one Tang San kills in the future is Bibi Dong, not you."

"And continuing from what we were saying, why do Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue both lose?"

"Because if they had not been fighting each other, they would have had plenty of chances to eliminate Tang San ahead of time!"

"Bibi Dong alone would have found it difficult to deal with Tang Hao and kill Tang San."

"But if Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had worked together and borrowed the Worship Hall's strength, they would have had a chance to deal with Tang San early."

"Mother, you know about the Worship Hall, right? It's Spirit Hall's hidden Titled Dou—"

Bibi Dong quickly nodded. "Mother knows."

"The Worship Hall..."

"Could it be that because Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were fighting each other, the Pope Palace and the Worship Hall were dragged into a struggle for power as well?"

"And as a result, they gave Tang San an opening, allowing him to rise and destroy Spirit Hall?"

As she analyzed the situation, she looked to Song Ye for confirmation.

Song Ye naturally nodded. His mother had guessed correctly.

"That's right!"

"And comparatively speaking, Bibi Dong was more focused on her work and had even tried to assassinate Tang San."

"But unfortunately, Tang San was protected by Fortune. He wasn't so easy to assassinate."

"But that other one, Qian Renxue, was genuinely brain-dead!"

"I even think that while Bibi Dong was a crazy woman who often went insane, she at least knew how to get serious things done."

"But Qian Renxue was simply an idiot, the kind who couldn't be taught no matter how hard you tried."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

Bibi Dong had not expected Song Ye to speak of Qian Renxue with such contempt.

She did not like that daughter of hers either. Whenever she thought of her daughter, she thought of Qian Xunji.

But from what Song Ye said, it seemed Qian Renxue not only had that disgusting father—she herself seemed to have plenty of problems too?

Since Bibi Dong asked, Song Ye naturally explained.

He began from the very start.

"Qian Renxue really is an idiot."

"To understand that, we have to start with why she appeared in Sunset Forest outside Heaven Dou City."

"As the Pope's daughter, why didn't she go to Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts? Why did she go to Sunset Forest instead?"

"Because Qian Renxue currently lives in Heaven Dou City!"

"This is one of Spirit Hall's secret plans. If I couldn't see through Fortune, I might not have known about it either!"

"A covert plan?" Bibi Dong continued along with him.

Of course she knew what the plan was. She was merely following Song Ye's lead so that he would explain it clearly.

Song Ye nodded. "Yes, and the plan itself is fucking stupid."

"They had Qian Renxue disguise herself as the current crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, then find a way to seize political power!"

"Back then, when Qian Renxue awakened her Martial Soul, she awakened the top-tier god-level Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel, and she even possessed innate Soul Power at rank twenty!"

"Logically speaking, with such gifts, and having already been acknowledged by the Angel God, she should have cultivated diligently and become a god as soon as possible."

"But what did Qian Renxue actually do? She had a top-tier foundation, yet instead of thinking about how to cultivate and grow stronger, she thought about unifying Douluo Continent."

"It would have been one thing if she wanted to unify Douluo Continent, but she did not even intend to strengthen Spirit Hall first and conquer the world later!"

"What Qian Renxue wanted was this: since she possessed an angel Martial Soul, she did not want to see the casualties brought about by war."

"So, Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu came up with a method. Through a Soul Bone, they had Qian Renxue disguise herself as the crown prince, Xue Qinghe!"

"When Qian Renxue was around nine years old, she had already assassinated Xue Qinghe and become the crown prince. From then until now, she had been living disguised as a man."

"During that time, in order to consolidate her political power, Qian Renxue even killed the Second Prince and the Third Prince one after another."

"She had simply waited all this time, doing what she called governing diligently and building connections, hoping that once Xue Ye died, she could smoothly inherit the throne!"

"As for this kind of plan, I truly have no idea how those two came up with it!"

The more Song Ye spoke, the more contempt filled both his eyes and his voice.

Yet Bibi Dong had also been one of the people supporting that plan. She, too, had wanted to unify the world without spilling blood.

And she did not want to see Qian Renxue either, so she had supported her and sent her far away to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Now that she saw her son looking down on it so much, it seemed there was a serious problem!

Bibi Dong frowned, concealing her reaction as she hurriedly asked:

"Ye'er, this plan sounds all right."

"Though it takes many detours and wastes some of Qian Renxue's cultivation talent, it isn't bad, is it?"

"If it succeeded, wouldn't we easily rule an entire nation?"

Bibi Dong was speaking from the heart. Who would not want to conquer an empire without paying much of a price?

However, Song Ye waved his hand and continued:

"Yes, Mother, that would be nice. If it succeeded, then it would certainly be fine."

"But the key is, could it succeed?"

"With such an idiotic plan, spanning such a long time and requiring so many steps and so much effort, what do you think the chances of success were?"

"Why do I look down on certain so-called strategies? Because there are always idiots who mistake an excessively complicated and ever-changing plan for strategy."

"But in reality, the more complicated a plan is, the more steps it has, and the longer it spans, the more likely it is to fail!"

"Qian Renxue went to the Heaven Dou Empire to disguise herself and seize power. She started at age nine, and it continued until she was twenty-nine!"

"In other words, this plan was carried out for a full twenty years!"

"Mother, think about it. Over twenty years, would not even the slightest accident completely ruin the plan?"

"And that was exactly what happened. Why did it only last twenty years? Because an accident occurred in the twentieth year, causing Qian Renxue's plan to fail!"

"There is no need to mention the final outcome. Twenty years of effort went down the drain overnight, and she utterly wasted her best years for cultivation!"

"With a plan like that, do you still think it was worth doing?"

Bibi Dong was stunned on the spot when she heard that.

"Huh?"

"The plan... failed?"

"No, they worked on it for twenty years, and it still failed?"

"So that means they got nothing out of it and wasted twenty years for nothing?"

Song Ye nodded heavily and spread his hands helplessly. "Exactly!"

"By the time Qian Renxue was twenty-nine, which was when her plan failed."

"Her plan's failure was even mainly because Qian Renxue herself was too arrogant and careless. She completely ruined it herself."

"It was because of her arrogance and complacency, because she aided her enemies, and because she let her emotions rule her that she ultimately failed."

"So why do I call Qian Renxue an idiot?"

Song Ye shook his head, his face full of disdain.

But as Bibi Dong listened, her expression grew increasingly grave. She muttered:

"Because she was arrogant and conceited, and even aided her enemies?"

"I never expected that dead girl to be capable of delaying such an important matter like this!"

"Ye'er, tell Mother about it. Who exactly did Qian Renxue aid? How was she arrogant and complacent, and how did she let her emotions rule her?"
