Chapter 106: Plan Ruined

As Wang Chen witnessed Su Ling going all out on Elder Qing with the sword he gave her, he couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of satisfaction. His plan to manipulate Su Ling was working like a charm. Back when Elder Qing was beating Su Ling and spilling the beans about her mother, Wang Chen had been there too, playing the sneaky spy using the Celestial Thief Technique. He had eavesdropped on their conversation, debating whether to swoop in and save the day. However, he realized that intervening would only result in a temporary increase in Su Ling's favor towards him. Understanding the limited benefit, he decided to bide his time and wait for an opportunity where he could extract the most advantage from the situation.
