?Reading on mobile phone Liu Su couldn’t possibly miss it—Liu Yun’s words carried a strong tone of mockery. However, she didn’t care, because now she had the strength to stand equal to the Master, and Liu Yun couldn’t do anything against her. Across the Grand Monastery, Liu Su’s eyes were everywhere—every move Liu Yun made was now fully within her grasp. Of course, Liu Yun had been the Master for nearly twenty years, and she had cultivated a solid group of loyal followers both in the Grand Monastery and in the branch temples. To overthrow her would not be something that could happen overnight. Liu Su did this precisely to signal to those still wavering: I am capable of standing up to the Master. In the past, she would have quietly focused on building her own power base. But now, that was no longer necessary. First, the power currently held in her hands has already made her a figure of authority—someone beneath one person yet above many. Aside from Liu Yun, she doesn’t need to worry about anyone else; on the contrary, Liu Yun herself holds a certain hesitation toward her, as if afraid she might grow too powerful while still needing her to manage daily affairs in the academy. She’s someone who must be used, even if she’s not actively utilized. Second, behind Liu Su stands Qin Feng, as well as the entire Special Operations Team. And behind that team are the top political and military leaders of the Chinese nation. Since these leaders have all decided to target the Tian Li Sect, what else could she possibly fear? If Liu Yun continues to control the Sect, these leaders would inevitably move decisively to weaken or even eliminate it. But once a new abbot is appointed—especially with Qin Feng advocating on her behalf—the leaders’ stance will shift, and what might have been a plan to dismantle the Sect could instead evolve into one of support and strengthening. After all, the Tianli Sect has made significant contributions to the economic development of the Chinese nation, and its members serving in official positions are generally principled. With such a large organization, who wouldn't want to keep key personnel for their own use? "Uncle, if there's nothing urgent, I'll be off now," she said, leaving behind a significant remark: "You go on with your affairs—those mundane matters within the sect, I'll handle them!" Liu Yun was so incensed that her chest heaved with anger; she truly wished she could have given Liu Su a solid backhand right then and there. When Liu Su stepped outside, she spotted her elder brother, also disheveled, and remarked with a touch of sarcasm, "This is the master from Baihe Gate that Auntie brought over—looks rather ordinary, doesn't seem particularly outstanding!" The elder brother was momentarily taken aback, not quite understanding what she meant. Before he could recover, Liu Su had already walked away. He didn't have time to fully grasp the nuance of her words—he was far more concerned about his own future, especially since all his brothers and companions had already passed away. "Master, I still can't understand—how could all twelve of our brothers have died? Who exactly was the opponent?" He walked into the study and asked. This implied: You've drawn such a powerful opponent, even the cultivators couldn't manage it. Liu Yun felt her mood sour, and the question only made it worse: "How could I possibly know? If I had known, I would have already dismembered them all! You, Fourth Brother, go immediately to the scene—thoroughly investigate every clue, and absolutely uncover the identity of the killer!" Fourth Brother sighed internally, yet readily agreed, as long as he didn't have to share his bed with her anymore. Before leaving, he said: "Master, Liu Su is becoming increasingly arrogant. You must be on your guard!" Liu Yun scoffed: "She's just a self-important young girl, thinking she can make a big splash. She hasn't even considered that this is still our domain. Let her run wild for a while—then we'll deal with her properly!" Fourth Brother nodded and turned to leave. In the main hall, Liu Su was issuing orders. With several branches severely impacted, at least four masters and eight vice-masters had perished, leaving the affairs of these branches in complete disarray. In addition to appointing successors to replace the deceased, she had also dispatched supervisory officers to each branch—any matter within the branches had to be approved by these officers before it could be implemented. To this, Liu Yun remained indifferent, choosing not to take any action, as she believed her own foundations were still secure. Liu Su’s efforts, though lively now, were merely superficial and would not yield any substantial results. She intended to consolidate her strength, waiting for the right moment to strike back and ultimately eliminate her niece, ensuring she would never recover. Shu Ya Jing stepped in first, kicked her shoes to the side, changed into slippers, jumped onto the sofa, and stretched lazily, saying, "Finally,姐 is back! This mission has been so tiring!" He Mu Qing followed closely behind, pulling out a bottled drink from a nearby safe, taking a few sips and saying, "This mission has indeed been exhausting—we really need some rest!" The house had already prepared daily necessities for Luoman. She found her own set of slippers and didn't forget to bring out Qin Dashi's as well. Qin Feng hugged her and kissed her gently, smiling, "Manman is still the best—unlike those two who only take care of themselves. Manman, you'll stay here tonight. Please take the time to bring all your luggage over!" "Okay," the beautiful manager nodded obediently. Shu Jing, completely unbothered by the earlier complaints, asked, "Qingqing, after we rest, won't we be heading abroad to deal with the vampires?" "He Muqing replied, 'This matter still depends on my grandfather's opinion. It seems that several European countries have been visiting our Chinese nation recently—officially as visits, but who knows if they aren't actually coming as mediators!'" "Qin Dashi expressed his disagreement: 'No matter what the upper management has in mind, I'm going to find the vampires and give them a solid reckoning. Once I go to Europe, it'll be entirely on my own—since things there are quite different from what they are back home, you people needn't risk yourselves!' White shadow flickered, and Isabella appeared on the sofa, speaking: 'The situation has turned out exactly as you expected. The leaders of several European countries have come to visit with genuine intentions. Your top officials from China have already reached consensus with them, and they're now planning to downplay the issue of the vampires altogether.'"
