Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 256: Qian Daoliu’s Scheme

Hearing Qian Daoliu’s words, Golden Crocodile, who had expected his elder brother to tell him not to worry, was stunned.

He hadn’t expected his elder brother to suddenly change his stance.

But soon, Golden Crocodile’s face lit up with excitement.

"Big Brother, have you finally come to your senses?! Are you finally going to let Xue’er ascend to the position of Pope?!"

To this, Qian Daoliu shook his head and smiled faintly.

"What do you mean, come to my senses? I’ve just been waiting for the right moment. And now, the moment has come. It’s time to put my plan into action!"

Hearing Qian Daoliu’s words, Golden Crocodile looked confused.

Then, Qian Daoliu explained.

"Golden Crocodile, you didn’t really think I would just stand by and watch the Spirit Hall be destroyed by Bibi Dong, did you? Although our Qian family does owe her a lot, by now, I can say with a clear conscience that I’ve done enough.

I was willing to support Bibi Dong as Pope, but since she can’t fulfill her duties, I can’t be blamed for removing her from the position!"

Hearing this, Golden Crocodile grew even more confused.

Why couldn’t he understand this?!

If Big Brother wanted to remove Bibi Dong, why didn’t he just do it?!

"Then, Big Brother, if you want to remove Bibi Dong, why don’t you just force her to step down?! With our brothers’ help, can Bibi Dong really stand against the entire Elder Hall?"

To Golden Crocodile’s question, Qian Daoliu smiled faintly.

"Hehe, Golden Crocodile, you’re thinking too simply. You’ve been secluded in the Elder Hall for too long and might not know this, but since Bibi Dong became Pope, the entire Spirit Hall has gradually come under her control.

Thus, while it’s easy to take the position of Pope from her, doing so would lose the people’s support. Once the people’s hearts are lost, Xue’er will face immense difficulties when she becomes Pope!

People are selfish. The Spirit Hall is so large that you can’t possibly know how many are truly loyal to Bibi Dong! So, if we force Xue’er onto the throne, it will only harm her.

Therefore, to have Xue’er ascend, we must take it step by step. The first step is to lower Bibi Dong’s standing in the hearts of all soul masters on the continent and within the Spirit Hall!

I must say, we really have to thank Yu Xiaogang for getting us to this point. I never expected that a waste like Yu Xiaogang could turn the once decisive, ruthless, and efficient Bibi Dong into what she is today.

If I had known back then, I wouldn’t have let Ji’er take her as a disciple. I should have just handed her over to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Clear Sky School. Maybe then, our Spirit Hall could have sat back and watched the show."

Hearing Qian Daoliu’s sigh, Golden Crocodile was still confused.

He had only been in seclusion for a few years. Why couldn’t he understand what his elder brother was saying?

Then, Qian Daoliu continued to explain.

"As for the second step, after Bibi Dong’s standing has been lowered in everyone’s hearts, we’ll have Xue’er take charge of part of the Spirit Hall. As the Holy Maiden, it’s only natural for her to perform some of the Pope’s duties.

After taking control of part of the Spirit Hall, Xue’er won’t even need to work too hard. She just needs to return everything to its original state. By then, the contrast between Xue’er’s and Bibi Dong’s management will further elevate Xue’er’s standing in everyone’s hearts.

The more mistakes Bibi Dong makes, the more stable Xue’er’s position as acting Pope will become. At that point, within a few years, even if Bibi Dong remains Pope, few will still follow her orders!

By then, it will be time for us old folks to step in. With the Elder Hall’s support, Bibi Dong, already abandoned by all, will have no power to continue controlling the Spirit Hall!"

"..."

Hearing Qian Daoliu’s grand plan, Golden Crocodile was completely stunned.

He looked at Qian Daoliu with an expression of shock.

Who would have thought?

His elder brother, who had always been devoted to the Angel God, could come up with such a plan.

This plan was perfect for Xue’er. She basically didn’t need to do anything. She just had to wait for Bibi Dong to self-destruct.

Brilliant, truly brilliant!!

"Big Brother, I never expected that you, secluded in the Elder Hall, could come up with such a perfect plan. It seems you could even return as Pope now."

Golden Crocodile spoke with a hint of admiration.

To this, Qian Daoliu shook his head.

"Hehe, you flatter me. The position of Pope is too tiring. I’d rather focus on helping Xue’er become a god! As for this plan, it wasn’t my idea. I have to thank Xiao Yu for it."

"Xiao Yu?! You mean that Xiao Yu from the Blue Tyrant Academy?! That young kid has such foresight?!"

Golden Crocodile was shocked, his face filled with surprise.

Qian Daoliu nodded.

"Yes, it’s him. Back then, Xue’er was upset by Bibi Dong and returned to her room crying. I had a chat with Xiao Yu outside the room. I casually mentioned that I would get rid of that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang, but Xiao Yu stopped me.

He said that since Bibi Dong could accept Tang San, the son of Tang Hao, who had killed the previous Pope, into the Spirit Hall for Yu Xiaogang’s sake, then Bibi Dong would surely do more foolish things for Yu Xiaogang!

And the more foolish things Bibi Dong did, the greater the chance of Xue’er becoming Pope! In fact, once Xue’er took the position, she might not even need to do much to quickly reverse the Spirit Hall’s reputation.

Although I wasn’t convinced by his words at the time, I figured I had nothing to lose. Xue’er’s return was still some time away, so I decided to wait a few years and see. That’s why I allowed Bibi Dong to keep Yu Xiaogang!

But who would have thought that in just half a year, Bibi Dong would do so many foolish and self-destructive things for that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang, just as Xiao Yu had predicted! Do you know how shocked I was?! I would have believed Tang Chen becoming a god before I believed Bibi Dong could do so many foolish things that undermined her own foundation!"

Hearing this, Golden Crocodile was completely stunned, sitting in his chair, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

"That kid, could he be a reincarnated god? Not only is he so strong at such a young age, but he also has such foresight. It’s terrifying... Thankfully, he’s not our enemy. Otherwise, we’d never sleep peacefully!!"
