Those old foxes were unnervingly patient, forcing themselves to stay their hands.
Now that an opportunity had presented itself, he certainly wouldn't let it slip by.
His goal was to push the Vast Sea Sect into acting against Chen Sheng.
This would, in turn, force the Nie Family, who backed Chen Sheng, to enter the fray and stand against the other powers of Yunzhou.
That was what aligned with his plans.
That was why he had ordered his men to secretly stoke the flames of conflict between the Vast Sea Sect and Chen Sheng.
Otherwise, he had truly feared the Vast Sea Sect would be intimidated by the dual protection from the Nie Family and the Government Office and choose to back down.
If that had happened, this golden opportunity would have gone to waste.
Of course, he didn't actually want anything to happen to Chen Sheng just yet.
After all, the court's Martial Examination was fast approaching, and Chen Sheng was a young genius in whom he had placed great hope.
