Do they really think we’ve been idle all these years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you say these things, why didn’t you say them earlier? You’re always wise after the event!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, what are you talking about? Are you looking for a fight? Don’t think just because I’ve cultivated my nature for years, I don’t know how to wield a blade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, who’s afraid of whom? Whoever backs down today is a dog!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought, two old men together almost totaling two hundred years, quarrel like those young hotheads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Gong wondered what Xuanyuan Yao really wanted to do, but there was no peace at his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were arguing fiercely just now and seemed about to come to blows, but with these words from Elder Gong, they immediately backed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What else could they do? Really start a fight in the meeting room?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wiped the non-existent thin sweat from their foreheads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others also sat down again, and someone glanced toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they lowered their voices: \"Elder Gong, there are quite a few people guarding outside, we seem to be under soft detention, what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, none of the people present regarded those outside seriously; what they feared was Director Yao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhao rolled his eyes helplessly: \"What to do? Nothing! Didn’t you see Elder Gong is hurt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just don’t believe you old guys aren’t aware, you are just pretending to be ignorant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in this meeting room have all gone through countless experiences to stand in their positions today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, they’ve always been the ones who trick others, not the other way around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s likely Director Yao knows this; as long as these old ones are still around, the Xuan Sect won’t fall into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, if he wants to reshuffle the power in the Xuan Sect, he needs to take them down, even control them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Elder Zhao has pointed it out, there’s no point in pretending anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone immediately spoke: \"What on earth does Director Yao want to do? Could he really be willing to defy the world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why did he fake his death back then, wouldn’t it have been better to hold all the power?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the conversation began, the chatter naturally opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps back then, Director Yao had compelling reasons to fake his death. Besides, how can you be sure that faking his death meant surrendering power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t you see the people still watching outside? They’re clearly secretly-trained individuals; there’s a lot we don’t know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, they were a bit confused, but now, they clearly understand their current predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think Director Yao truly wants to kill us old ones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Gong shook his head: \"The Xuan Sect’s power can be reshuffled profoundly with certain foundations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if all of us are gotten rid of, it wouldn’t be a mere reshuffle but courting disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there are numerous conflicts among the factions in the Xuan Sect, everyone adheres to a baseline unless it’s a death feud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing life and death, they would unite against a common enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might be under soft detention, and other factions might lean towards Director Yao for benefits or even seize resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if every one of them perished, other factions would only feel impending doom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No amount of profit could sway them then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although Director Yao is formidable, we’re not pushovers either. Should we charge our way out together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think what you thought of couldn’t have been thought of by others? Since Director Yao has detained us here, he surely has the assurance to keep us from leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew the reality, but still couldn’t help holding a bit of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Gong looked out the window, carrying a resolve even he couldn’t fully articulate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Xie and Yun Ran dare to escalate things, indicating there must be a backup plan, we just need to wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Elder Gong mention Director Xie, everyone’s mood was calmed a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Director Xie was young, none dared to underestimate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, they suffered quite a bit at his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, if they weren’t part of it, they would want to be bystanders now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see who’s truly more formidable: the experienced Director Yao or the genius Director Xie holding immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, it seems waiting is their only option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By that afternoon, all Xuan Sect factions received the latest notice from the Special Administration Bureau that Xie Xuzhi was relieved of his role as director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with that, many others’ appointments were also annulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These series of documents and orders almost rendered Xie Xuzhi powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when it came to implementation, they faced major resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most competent people went on leave, and even some big names were unreachable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The factions of the Xuan Sect all had their eyes on this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many immediately saw the signs; this was a contention between two parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People at the top seized the power, holding it in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the diligent workers were under Director Xie’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s akin to ancient times, grabbing the throne and the imperial seal yet lacking officers — just an army with no soldiers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Yao sat in his office, watching the reporting person, who was trembling almost to the point of kneeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he laughed: \"As expected of the Xie’s family’s foremost, Young Master Xie; his skills are indeed remarkable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This laugh made the staff only feel his blood flowing backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master was angry, and the consequences were unimaginable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, then he heard Xuanyuan Yao speak: \"Since the Xie Family doesn’t understand, then they shouldn’t exist. Notify the other three families that I will assist them in swallowing the Xie Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, master, I’ll go at once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaders of the other three families in Capital City, the Wang Family, Zhou Family, and Murong Family, received a summons from a hundred years ago and rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just meeting each other, they were filled with many doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you also receive the summons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Young Master Wang furrowed his brow, thinking only his family owed the summons’ issuer a great favor, but surprisingly the Zhou and Murong families did too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two were equally astonished but kept silent, showing little expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go in and see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the reception room sat a man in an old-era long robe, his hair graying a bit, looking quite unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>",1077,"2026-06-06T11:49:08.025Z",1,"novelbin.me","8b2c6229d50c1fb34cd82640e3deac3458ec41c0577bd6e53321d896dbbb82e0","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-853","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-851",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
