Xu Jiujiu nodded as well.
Chen Ping had a point. Rather than going after Xu Tianran, who was armed to the teeth and a Soul Douluo himself, targeting the old emperor was clearly a better choice.
Over the past few years, Xu Tianran had unleashed far too many purges to consolidate his authority as Crown Prince. Who knew how many princes with real power hated him to the bone? The original story had explicitly mentioned this.
Although Chen Ping did not know just how much those princes with real power could accomplish, he knew at least one thing: Xu Tianran was deeply wary of them. And now, Xu Tianran was only one final step away from formally ascending the throne as emperor.
There was no way those princes were unaware of Xu Tianran's jackal-and-hyena nature, of how he would avenge even the slightest grievance.
Without this opportunity, they might have no choice but to lie low until Xu Tianran ascended the throne and settled accounts with them once and for all. But if Xu Jiujiu and Vina gave them an opening like this, they would definitely stir up a considerable commotion. Chen Ping was certain of that.
In any case, however bad this plan might be, it could not possibly be more idiotic than the dozen-odd Titled Douluo trying to assassinate Xu Tianran right in front of Long Xiaoyao in the original story. Thus, Chen Ping felt no burden whatsoever when offering this strategic suggestion.
"We need some time to put together a plan. Tomorrow, we'll meet with your academy's Eldest Senior Sister again to discuss the details."
The two women exchanged a glance, clearly leaning more toward using the intelligence and plan Chen Ping had provided. It was far safer than blindly trying to smash their way through.
