“The elder from the legitimate line had a gloomy expression. The Fearless Alliance leader, leaving them with an empty shell was one thing, but she even wanted to take the legitimate line to arbitration. Does she have no shame left?
At this moment, the Nie family.
In the hall, the Nie family’s matriarch and patriarch were already smiling from ear to ear. Who could have imagined that the counterfeit Death Rose faction was just a front, another shell used by their daughter to feign the Fearless Alliance?
“Worry-free, your strategy is truly ingenious,” the Nie family patriarch said, looking at Ye Wanwan with a smile.
Previously, Ye Wanwan had to pretend to agree with the legitimate line in order to rescue them from their predicament and had signed a strategic cooperation agreement with them. However, as it stood now, the Fearless Alliance had engaged in a conflict with the counterfeit Death Rose, suffered a defeat, and all its forces had transferred to the counterfeit Death Rose faction.
In this situation, not only was it unnecessary for the Fearless Alliance to support the legitimate line, it seemed to make no difference even if the Fearless Alliance, reduced to an empty shell, was handed over to the legitimate line.
Furthermore, Ye Wanwan had seized a handle on the legitimate line and would have to take them to arbitration in the future, accusing them of failing to fulfill the terms of the strategic cooperation agreement.
The Nie family matriarch stared at Ye Wanwan, full of pride. How did their daughter’s mind work? She could come up with such a scheme.
“However, Worry-free, in the future, you must be extremely careful. The arbitration council is not to be trifled with. If the legitimate line seizes an opportunity to counterattack, the consequences could be dire,” the Nie family patriarch advised Ye Wanwan.
Upon hearing the Nie family patriarch’s words, Ye Wanwan immediately nodded. She would naturally be cautious when dealing with the arbitration council; there could be no room for negligence.
“Haha, is the legitimate line a bit foolish? They’ve actually been completely played by our daughter,” the Nie family patriarch said with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, the Nie family matriarch glanced at the Nie family patriarch and said, “Where’s the foolishness in that? If it were you in this situation, could you have ever imagined that Worry-free would pull off such a move?”
“Using the Cicada’s Shedding technique, along with the Clever Cat Changing Princes tactic, and then finding flaws in the strategic agreement to turn the tables on the legitimate line, I wouldn’t have thought of it if I were in her shoes,” the Nie family patriarch replied.
“In that case, what’s called foolishness? Clearly, it’s that Worry-free is too clever. She looks so much like her brother when he was young,” the Nie family matriarch remarked.
Mentioning Nie Wuming, the Nie family patriarch’s expression immediately soured. “Don’t mention that brat. He’s unruly all day long.”
“Dad, Mom,” at this moment, Ye Wanwan looked at the Nie family patriarch and matriarch and asked, “What exactly is the arbitration council?”
The Nie family patriarch took a sip of tea and explained, “The arbitration council is an alliance above the Twelve Independent States. It consists of overseers and judges of the Twelve Independent States. Any rules established or abolished within the Twelve Independent States must go through the arbitration council. Put it simply, any hegemon of one of the Twelve Independent States falls under the jurisdiction of the arbitration council. Don’t be fooled by the legitimate and collateral lines being the most powerful forces within the Independent States; when it comes to the arbitration council, they’re nothing.”
In any place, without rules, there is no order, and the existence of the arbitration council is to establish those rules. Everyone within the Twelve Independent States must adhere to them.
“That’s impressive…” Ye Wanwan pondered.
“Your brother, Nie Wuming, was noticed by the arbitration council back in the day. They wanted him to become an advisor, but he refused, which infuriated me,” the Nie family patriarch said.
