As soon as he heard that Er Zhong could be eliminated from the top ten influential figures, Master Qin Si was immediately intrigued.

However, to appear more composed in front of Liu Zixuan, his tone did not reveal any haste, but rather a hint of curiosity.

He asked, "Tell me, Young Divine Doctor!"

"If, as you said before, Er Zhong's strength is at the bottom among the top ten influential figures, then if he wants to disrupt the entire situation and become the overlord here, he must continuously expand his strength during this time!"

Listening to Liu Zixuan's words, Master Qin Si agreed: "Indeed!"

"Give him whatever he wants!"

Liu Zixuan smirked and said, "Back then, Cao Cang used the emperor to command the nobles during the chaos of the Six Provinces. Why can't you, Master Qin Si, leverage Er Zhong to take an advantageous position?"

Liu Zixuan's meaningful words caused Master Qin Si to fall into silence.

In fact, it was just as it seemed, Master Qin Si and Er Zhong's ambitions were already exposed, with Qin Si collaborating with Liu Zixuan and Er Zhong aligning with the Qu family.

Though their methods differed, their objectives were the same — disrupt the current dynamics of the top ten influential figures in Celestial Capital to dominate.

In that case, they can directly sideline Er Zhong under the guise of cooperation!

By then, Er Zhong's people would turn to Qin Si, bolstering Qin Si's power while eliminating a competitor!

This was indeed a rare, brilliant strategy!

"Hahaha, Young Divine Doctor, you're not only skilled in medicine, but your wisdom is commendable as well. If you become my military advisor, how might I not achieve great deeds?" Master Qin Si praised.

Liu Zixuan smirked slightly. If he were truly so kind-hearted, he would not be Liu Zixuan.

Allowing Qin Si to strengthen so easily would undoubtedly plant a future threat for Liu Zixuan.

Therefore, Liu Zixuan had another layer of strategy unknown to Qin Si.

That was, after using Qin Si to settle Er Zhong, to completely throw the top ten influential figures into chaos, exposing Qin Si's ambitions to the world, prompting other families to suppress Qin Si!

By then, it would be the best time for Liu Zixuan to seize the Ghost Gate Needle and enter the Seven-Star Tomb!

Smiling slightly, he said, "So, shall we settle this?"

"Before we do, I have a question," Master Qin Si chuckled.

"What is it?" Liu Zixuan did not believe Qin Si could foresee far-reaching ramifications, assuming his concern was a doubt.

"If I go to invite Er Zhong for a chat and find a chance to settle them, what will you, the Young Divine Doctor, be doing?" Master Qin Si was unwilling to have only himself putting in effort while Liu Zixuan remained unseen behind the scenes.

Word by word, Liu Zixuan said, "I said before, I am not particularly interested in your big figures. You handle your matters, and I will handle mine. You go deal with Er Zhong, and I will naturally head to the Qu family."

"But, this time I fear that Master Qin Si will have to send a few people to help. The Qu family is large and cannot be compared to Zuo Tongyu."

"I will have Lanlan take people over. That girl has been eager to sincerely help you ever since being chastised by you last time."

"Is she in love with me?" Liu Zixuan asked teasingly with a smile.

"Hahaha, if the Young Divine Doctor has the ability to win over my niece, then on your wedding day, I will surely present a grand gift!"

Both were cunning foxes from the same mountain; who could be simpler than the other?

Despite their seemingly simple conversation, each word was laced with hidden implications and intrigue!

Liu Zixuan smiled and said, "Alright, in half an hour, I hope Qin Lanlan can bring people to the Qu family's mansion."

"No problem. I'll arrange for Er Zhong to come out now to prevent them from sending people to assist the Qu family!"

With that, they hung up the phone.

"What a brilliant plan. With a simple sentence, you're set to eliminate one of the top ten influential figures, Er Zhong, permanently."

At this moment, Sister An San clapped twice and walked out from the side, giving a thumbs-up to Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan chuckled awkwardly, "His life or death, what's it to me?"

"Why didn't I notice you had such wisdom before?" Sister An San crossed her arms, assessing Liu Zixuan like a queen, asking meaningfully, "With Er Zhong gone and Qin Si used by you, is the next target Great Sage and me? That would cut the top ten figures by half!"

Liu Zixuan slipped his phone into his pocket and slowly walked up to Sister An San, smiling warmly as he said, "Among the top ten influential figures, the most formidable one has never been heard of, nor has he ever appeared, so let's leave that aside for now."

"As for the remaining nine, all have ulterior motives. Without my presence, this grandmasters' game would have still occurred."

"However…"

"However, what?" Sister An San slightly raised her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Liu Zixuan, asking.

"However, I can tell that Sister San has no ambition for dominance, so nothing will happen to you!" Liu Zixuan shrugged and said.

"Just because you don't think so doesn't mean others don't. Qin Si's ambition grows by the day. With Er Zhong gone, it will undoubtedly be Great Sage and me next. Great Sage is already half-dead and will eventually target me!"

Liu Zixuan looked down at her pretty face and smiled, "If I, Liu Zixuan, wish to keep you, Sister An San, safe and sound, what could Qin Si possibly do to you?"

"I…"

Sister An San was instantly at a loss for words. Hearing Liu Zixuan's remarks, she wanted to retort, but when she looked into his deep, steadfast eyes, she found herself momentarily speechless.

If I, Liu Zixuan, wish to keep you safe, what could Qin Si possibly do to you?

Such a simple sentence was like a reassurance for Sister An San!

As she watched Liu Zixuan prepare to turn and leave, someone who had never shown concern for others subconsciously blurted out, "Take care."

These three words were the first time Sister An San ever said to a man!

Liu Zixuan paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and then walked outside.

Zuo Tongyu aimed for a higher status, but he was, after all, still a mid-tier person.

The Qu family was different; they had begun collaborating with high-caliber people like Er Zhong. Therefore, the real game among the top ten influential figures would start when Liu Zixuan stepped into the Qu family's doorstep.

Driving straight to the Qu family villa, having been there once before, this time it seemed much more familiar.

It was still the same somewhat run-down villa. Last time, Liu Zixuan came with curiosity, wondering what kind of person Qu Zheng's father, Qu Jian, could be.

But this time, hidden with murderous intent, he came to the Qu family to proclaim death!

The car slowly stopped, and Liu Zixuan walked straight to the entrance. Before he could press the doorbell, the door opened directly from inside.

"Mr. Liu, please come in!"
