The celestial god chuckled lightly upon hearing those words.
Got it, the psychological state is grasped—want to achieve something, right? With desires come weaknesses, and thus the preliminary conditions for defection...
Lin Tianxue remained silent for a moment before speaking again.
"You have a big uncle, you know that, right?"
"Yes, I’ve heard of Lin Que's father; he reportedly passed away over a decade ago."
"No, he didn't die..."
Upon hearing this, the celestial god realized it was time for him to make his entrance.
He pushed open the bathroom door and stood in front of Fang Yuqiong. Facing her astonished gaze, he spoke slowly.
"I am the celestial god, and I am also your big uncle..."
Looking at Fang Yuqiong, who appeared utterly confused, the celestial god opened his arms, striking what he thought was a handsome pose.
"What's wrong? Isn't a family reunion worth a hug?"
Fang Yuqiong: "..."
Internally, she thought, "Damn, you finally took the bait... but don't you think this entrance is a bit silly?"
...
The whole hugging thing was naturally a joke, but it must be said that this action of the celestial god successfully discouraged Fang Yuqiong from calling for help—at least, that’s how he saw it.
Lin Tianxue, understanding the situation, opened the study door and pushed Fang Yuqiong and the celestial god inside.
As for what happened next, it had little to do with her… how far it could go still depended on Yuqiong’s abilities.
The moment the door closed, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on Lin Tianxue's lips.
Don't blame me for trapping you; you trapped me first...
About three hours later, the study door finally opened, and the celestial god stepped out of the room. He nodded at Lin Tianxue and then immediately vanished in a flash of light.
Fang Yuqiong followed closely behind, and only after noticing that the celestial god had disappeared did Lin Tianxue send a message to her.
"You didn't agree, did you?"
"Not yet; if I agree too easily, it will raise his suspicions."
"Good..."
The two exchanged questions and answers, then shared a knowing smile.
Having learned from their past experience, Lin Tianxue would be foolish to follow the celestial god blindly down the wrong path. The reward related to her father was the forgiveness of her mistakes and the chance for her family to be reunited.
For Lin Tianxue, who had cultivated herself for over a decade, nothing could be more important than this.
...
On the way back, the celestial god pondered over his conversation with his nephew. After a while, he nodded.
There were no flaws in everything; it seemed Fang Yuqiong's grievances were real. Although the first conversation hadn’t been a success, it was still a good start.
So next would be the second, the third, until he successfully swayed Fang Yuqiong.
Naturally, the celestial god did not rule out the possibility that Fang Yuqiong was acting... however, as the plan reached a critical stage, distinguishing whether it was an act would become clear.
Thus, the celestial god concealed himself within the gathering in Area 1 in Beijing until day turned to night. The following day, he quietly made his way into Fang Yuqiong's residence.
Once again, it was a lengthy discussion. This time, the indications of Fang Yuqiong's wavering opinions were clearer.
He was an ambitious yet immature young man.
The celestial god made the following assessment of Fang Yuqiong and then concealed himself within her courtyard to facilitate further communication—or in some sense, surveillance.
...
At this point, Fang Yuqiong naturally had no need to communicate with Lin Haifeng anymore.
In fact, many matters required Fang Yuqiong to handle herself, make decisions, and resolve issues. This was not merely a plan; it was also a test of Fang Yuqiong's abilities.
For now, it seemed Fang Yuqiong was performing quite well...
A month later, just when the celestial god was becoming frustrated with Fang Yuqiong’s repeated hesitations and thinking about giving up, she finally gave him a definite answer.
