The sheath dared to act against the Sword Master!?

The sheath has turned against him?

"Wait a moment." Someone asked, "I recall information from the National Relief Association mentioning that Qin Le Yin is not interested in women and doesn't carry the scent of heather flowers. He shouldn't have acted against Shuiyun Palace yet, right?"

"The person who spoke may have never been in love, right?" Le Yu rudely replied, "For a seventeen-year-old girl, spiritual connection matters more, and Qin Le Yin excels in that! It's precisely this ambiguous emotional exchange that makes Shuiyun Palace follow Qin Le Yin's orders!"

"In Xuanzhu County, there were at least three digits worth of girls who liked Qin Le Yin. He understands better than anyone how to deceive young girls!"

Everyone was momentarily stunned by Le Yu's words.

After all, Le Yu's argument was quite strong.

Most people in their profession have never experienced romance. If they had encountered a loved one, they would have already quit, finding comfort in the warmth of affection. Can licking blood from the edge of a knife compare to licking one's wife in bed?

Lake Heart Man was silent for a moment, "Impossible, right...?"

"Everyone!" Le Yu's voice suddenly became high-pitched, "In terms of strength, you might be stronger than me, but when it comes to Qin Le Yin, I dare say that no one here understands Qin Le Yin better than I do!"

"He is a despicable, evil, ruthless scoundrel! If you deal with him using ordinary thinking, your fate will be the same as Dongyang Zhengwei's!"

"Among those present, who dares to think they are more profound or smarter than Dongyang Zhengwei? Yet even the man who seized Dongyang's military, political, and commercial power in just half a year was completely deceived by Qin Le Yin, staining Qin Le Yin's hair!"

"Now Qin Le Yin surely knows his situation is dangerous? The public crisis faced by Shuiyun Palace earlier has already sounded the alarm for him! How could he not know that if we don't succeed with Shuiyun Palace, we would inevitably target him?"

"Moreover, how can you be sure that Qin Le Yin is now obediently sleeping in the dormitory, and not hiding in a place that no one could imagine, to avoid unknown threats?"

After a moment of silence, someone suggested, "Then we'll have students keep an eye on him—"

"But what if he is really hiding in the student dormitory, then what?" Le Yu countered, "We can't approach the student dormitory unless we want to face the wrath of the Sword Holder."

"But the student dormitory isn't occupied by just Shuiyun Palace alone!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps you haven't noticed." Le Yu sighed, "Qin Le Yin—"

"Is a very handsome man."

"Based on my observation, none of the seven Palace Masters seem to dislike Qin Le Yin. I even suspect that Qin Le Yin might use the reason 'I was assassinated' to voluntarily move into Shuiyun Palace's dormitory and get familiar with the Palace Masters."

"Victory does not necessarily require conquering the flesh; conquering the soul also works. With Shuiyun Palace's cooperation, Qin Le Yin might be able to end this game in a place invisible to everyone, right within the girls' dormitory."

Lake Heart Man couldn't help but say, "This really is... a victory method even the Sword Holder hadn't conceived."

"You think it's impossible?" Le Yu questioned, "Being prepared means success; without preparation, failure follows. If you don't make arrangements, that's fine, but this seemingly simple goal to you is bound to be the easiest to fail."

Le Yu wasn't lying; if that's really their plan, he'll definitely sleep in the student dormitory every day after he returns. Of course, he certainly wouldn't sleep in Ming Shuiyun and their dormitory, just staying in the stairwell would suffice, at the very least sleeping by the main entrance.

Even if he has to embarrass himself, Le Yu would accept it, as the only face lost would be Qin Le Yin's, who hasn't been moving into the girls' dormitory, already helping to protect Qin Le Yin's dignity.

In the Point Gold Cottage, silence persisted for a moment before Lake Heart Man asked, "Then, Sword Hide, do you have any suggestions?"

Le Yu blinked and hesitated, "Actually, I don't have any good ideas either. Qin Le Yin is an extremely cautious person. In Xuanzhu County, he would sleep in different rooms every night to avoid assassination..."

"Please speak freely."

"We can actually combine the two goals into achieving one." Le Yu suggested.

Lake Heart Man was silent for a moment, "Are you suggesting..."

"The only safe place in the Imperial Academy apart from the girls' dormitory is the Platinum Tower." Le Yu said, "If the girls' dormitory is guarded by the Sword Holder, then the Platinum Tower purely exists as such because nobody believes an attack would happen there. If given the choice, Qin Le Yin would definitely choose to hide in the Platinum Tower."

"As long as Qin Le Yin stays in the Platinum Tower, we can break into it and capture Qin Le Yin, killing two birds with one stone."

The Curse Hunter couldn't help but ask, "But how do we lure Qin Le Yin into the Platinum Tower?"

"This certainly is a challenge." Le Yu pretended to ponder, "However, doesn't Cha Huan leave the Imperial Academy every night? Perhaps the National Relief Association and everyone could campaign, demanding someone to guard the Platinum Tower—maybe recommending Qin Le Yin to serve as acting principal, and he would naturally move into the Platinum Tower..."

The plot thickens!

Le Yu had been chatting aimlessly with them for so long all for the purpose of leveraging their power to push himself onto the principal position!

He had been craving the Platinum Tower for a long time now!

Since the opening ceremony, when Le Yu saw Cha Huan flying directly from the Platinum Tower to the podium, he harbored a small goal—to experience being a principal himself!

Originally, Le Yu was just contemplating, but listening to Lake Heart Man Yan Shang speak triggered this bold idea.

These people are in collaboration with the Imperial Court, backed by powerful forces, aren't they? Now we are partners; their power is my power. As long as everyone works together, if I can't become principal, surely I can be the acting principal?

If Cha Huan dies, heh heh heh, the prefix "acting" can be removed!

"Let Qin Le Yin become acting principal? How can this be—" someone loudly objected.

"Why not?" Le Yu immediately replied, "Anyway, he will be dismembered in a few days, just the recovery of his limbs will keep him in the Medical Bureau for months, effectively withdrawing from the game."

"Yet with this bait, Qin Le Yin will definitely bite! His biggest weakness is his boundless greed!"

Lake Heart Man said, "But Cha Huan wouldn't agree to it, right?"

"Qin Le Yin is also backed by major forces." Le Yu quickly stated, "If given this opportunity, do you think Qin Le Yin will let it pass? By then, he will definitely utilize whatever means necessary for the acting principal position! As long as you nudge him slightly, Qin Le Yin will see it as manna from heaven and quickly grab it to devour!"

"Cha Huan might not necessarily refuse. With Qin Le Yin stationing at the Platinum Tower, he could be more secure in guarding the Imperial Court. But for us, this means three target positions will be determined without any mishaps, greatly reducing the risk of unforeseen costs!"

Le Yu fervently proposed the benefits of letting Qin Le Yin become acting principal when suddenly someone bluntly asked, "Why do you wish for Qin Le Yin to become principal?"

"Because he did the same thing to me." Le Yu responded without hesitation, "Back then, Qin Le Yin propelled me to the pinnacle of life, only to harshly fling me into the mud... I want him to experience the same pain!"

"Just as Qin Le Yin basks in the joy of becoming acting principal, we burst in and drag him from the clouds into the dirt, never able to recover... Just like how he didn't kill me, I won't kill him too, for I aim not only to destroy his body but also annihilate his mind!"

"This is my revenge!"

Le Yu's speech left him feeling passionate, "Everyone, would you lend me your aid?"

Momentarily, the Curse Hunter first sneered, "Interesting."

"It's the first time encountering such an intriguing Sword Hide."

"After all, stirring things up is just a minor effort."

The light and shadow on Lake Heart had been fixating on Le Yu, making him feel chilled to the bone, however, his facial expression remained unchanged.

Finally, Lake Heart Man Yan Shang spoke:

"It's worth a try."
