The improved female villains regained their memories.

Then, she looked at Ling Shuxin with admiration: "Leng Yan is not from a major family. Once she becomes a goddess, she will definitely be under your command. In that case, no matter how much you have invested before, it will all be worth it!"

"It's too early to say that. Don't forget, your sister made it to the finals during the day." Ling Shuxin said this, but she couldn't stop smiling. "If Leng Yan wants to become a goddess, defeating Song Panning alone isn't enough. There's also your sister."

Ling Shuxin already has a solution for Lin Wanjun.

She couldn't interfere with Lin Wanjun's specialty, dance, but she had already received the trust of Du Wanli, Lin Wanjun's follower. Even her follower had betrayed her, so what kind of trouble could Lin Wanjun possibly cause?

Therefore, in Ling Shuxin's view, as long as Leng Yan resolves Song Panning here, she can basically become a goddess. And for Leng Yan to become a goddess is no different from her Ling family becoming goddesses.

"Wanli, what's going on? How could this person possibly have Sister Song's flower wine?"

Lin Wanjun turned around, anxiously grabbing Du Wanli's sleeve and asking, "What are you doing?" Du Wanli looked at her silently, pondered for a moment, and said, "I pretended to surrender to Ling Shuxin just to see what she was capable of. I didn't expect her to use such methods right away. A family's Goddess Dance is definitely a top secret. Otherwise, Ling Shuxin's infiltration of the Song family has reached a terrifying level, or else..."

"Otherwise what? Oh dear, why are you keeping me in suspense? Just tell me already!" Lin Wanjun asked anxiously.

Du Wanli gave Lin Wanjun a deep look and said, "Otherwise, the Song family might have leaked the information to Leng Yan."

"what?"

On stage, the familiar flower-themed wine was used by her opponent, and Song Panning remained silent as she watched. She was still the same as before, like deep water, and no matter what happened, she could not be shaken.

However, her delay in starting to dance caused quite a stir among the audience.

"What's going on? Why isn't Song Panning dancing yet?"

"Song Panning's followers are about to give up. The flowers are growing more and more numerous, and it looks like they are about to spread to Song Panning."

"Look! Song Panning's followers seem to be hallucinating! Song Panning is in danger!"

Questions and inquiries abound.

Lin Jinxuan, watching from the high-rise building, sighed and said, "Song Panning has no choice."

When even the dance she knew best was performed by someone else, what could Song Panning do?

Just when everyone thought Song Panning was going to fail, no one expected that a formation would light up.

The Song family's martial arts training ground.

Song Panning's confidant, timing it perfectly, immediately shouted, "Dance formation!!"

"Wind, wind, wind!"

Three thousand soldiers roared and, in sync with military music, began to wield weapons.

The wind is rising in this mountain city.

One formation followed another, eventually forming a whirlwind that enveloped the stage.

"Wait, what's going on? Why is the wind picking up?"

"The wind is so strong, it has blown all the petals away."

"It's Heaven! Heaven is protecting Song Panning!"

A fierce wind swept through, making people shiver and creating a thick fog that obscured the scene.

"what!!"

With a cold scream, the flowers scattered, the spiritual energy was cut off, and he collapsed to the ground.

"What!?" Ling Shuxin jumped up and stared intently at everything that was happening below.

Lin Wanjun also covered her lips, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Song Panning stood alone on the stage, her eyes closed, feeling that everything was perfect.

"The way of the sage is yin, the way of the fool is yang. I respect the way of the sage, and winning is so easy."

She looked at the stage and at the audience; she stood within the rules, yet also outside of them.

"How mysterious."

"Wisdom should be used where ordinary people don't know it, and ability should be used where ordinary people can't do it."

"Therefore, the ancient sages' way belongs to Yin. As the ancient saying goes, 'The transformation of Heaven and Earth lies in the high and the deep; the way of the sage lies in the hidden and concealed.' I understand the principle that Song Qihao wanted to convey today."

"He does not contend for immediate success or failure; what he contends for is the achievement or failure over a thousand years."

"The goddess election is what fools see."

"However, what the wise see is the hidden struggle for victory and defeat behind it all!"

Song Panning smiled slightly, looked at the referee who was already stunned, and said, "She's done for. Announce the victory."

Having mastered the Yin Talisman Way, her victory was only natural.

The match started inexplicably and ended inexplicably.

With Leng Yan rendered incapacitated, the victor naturally became Song Panning.

The wind stopped, and everyone left in hushed tones, their expressions slightly disgruntled.

"Today was the most bizarre match I've ever seen."

"That's right, Song Panning won inexplicably. The wind blew away Leng Yan's attack, allowing Song Panning's followers to break free from the illusion, and Leng Yan himself made a mistake. Hiss... Is it really fate that Song Panning is destined to win?"

"Miss Song is indeed very beautiful."

Lin Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Song Panning won in the end.

"What on earth is going on!?"

Ling Shuxin was so angry that she was about to slam the table again: "What the hell is this? A random gust of wind, and Song Panning won? She didn't even start dancing!"

"It seems, Miss Ling, your plan has failed." Lin Jinxuan sighed softly, her gaze falling on Song Panning not far away, a hint of apprehension flashing in her eyes: "He's right, this person is indeed a threat..."

"What 'him'? What 'threat'? What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, Miss Ling, it's time for our cooperation to end, because the finals are coming up, and whether Lin Wanjun or Song Panning wins, there's nothing we can do to stop it."

Lin Jinxuan stood up, looked at Ling Shuxin, and said, "You should think about how you're going to explain this to your family after paying such a price."

"Lin Jinxuan!" Ling Shu cried out anxiously, her eyes reddening. "Don't forget, if your sister becomes a goddess, she won't let you off the hook either."

"Is that so? Then I'll take it."

Lin Jinxuan shrugged indifferently and left.

She genuinely didn't care.

The reason was simple: her cooperation with Ling Shuxin was entirely due to Du Wanli's plan.

As early as when Ling Shuxin was defeated, Du Wanli approached her and asked her to reveal some things about the Lin family in order to gain Ling Shuxin's trust and stay by her side as a collaborator.

Lin Jinxuan didn't understand why she had to do this at first. After all, as the eldest sister, she naturally had to support her younger sister. The internal strife in the Lin family wasn't as intense as outsiders imagined. But considering that Du Wanli was both an Earth Immortal and a follower of Lin Wanjun, she agreed.

Tonight she watched a good show, admiring Du Wanli's strategy, while also thinking about what he had told her about Song Panning's threat.

"Wanli, how did Sister Song win? Something feels off." On the way back, Lin Wanjun looked up and asked Du Wanli.

Du Wanli smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, Leng Yan is Miss Song's person."

"What? Leng Yan is Sister Song's person? That's impossible! How could Ling Shuxin make such a basic mistake!?"

Lin Wanjun was puzzled and quickly pressed for an answer. Du Wanli pondered for a moment and replied:

“As I said before, Miss, if the Song family’s pre-flower wine falls into Ling Shuxin’s hands, there are only two possibilities. First, the Song family has been infiltrated like a sieve. Second, the Song family has handed over the pre-flower wine voluntarily. If it is the first one, Ling Shuxin has countless ways to kill Song Panning and doesn’t need to compete in the Goddess election. Therefore, it can only be the second one.”

"If that's the case, won't Ling Shuxin investigate Leng Yan's identity? She dares to invest so heavily, isn't she afraid of falling into a trap?"

"I'm afraid only Miss Song can answer this question."

As Du Wanli spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

[Song Panning is indeed a threat. Her scheming and concealment are no less than mine. I even suspect that she may have already seen through my disguise. I must remind Lin Wanjun.]

Thinking this, Du Wanli paused for a moment, carefully considering his words, and cautiously probed, "Now that it's the finals, only you and Miss Song are left. What are your thoughts, Miss?"

"What else could you be thinking?" Lin Wanjun looked at Du Wanli strangely. "Prepare well and wait for the competition."

Du Wanli remained silent.

Over the next few days, Du Wanli began to relentlessly advise Lin Wanjun.

"Those who can heed the good intentions of others can foresee signs of development and change; those who can think repeatedly can grasp the key to success. It is rare to find someone who, despite listening to advice, fails to make correct judgments and makes erroneous decisions, yet still enjoys long-term stability. Those who rarely make mistakes when listening to advice cannot be misled by sweet talk; those who plan meticulously and without putting the cart before the horse cannot be disturbed by sweet talk. Those content with menial tasks like chopping wood and feeding horses will miss the opportunity to seize power in a great nation; those content with meager salaries will not attain high positions like ministers or prime ministers. Therefore, decisiveness in action is a sign of wisdom, while hesitation is a disaster. Focusing on trivial matters will cause one to lose sight of important matters; having the wisdom to judge right and wrong, yet hesitating to act rashly after making a decision, is the root of all misfortune."

"Therefore, as the saying goes: 'A tiger that hesitates and cannot make a decision is not as good as a wasp or scorpion that uses its stinger; a fine horse that hesitates and cannot move forward is not as good as a poor horse that walks slowly and steadily; a brave warrior who is indecisive is not as good as an ordinary person who is determined to work hard to achieve his goal; even with the wisdom of Yu Shun and Yu the Great, keeping one's mouth shut is not as effective as a deaf-mute person who uses gestures.' These proverbs all illustrate that taking action is the most valuable thing. All undertakings are difficult to succeed and easy to fail; opportunities are difficult to seize and easy to lose. Opportunities, once lost, will never come again. I hope you will consider this carefully."

"Song Panning has a smiling face, but her gaze always looks beyond others. She appears respectful, but she is actually unwilling to listen to others' requests. Once she has made up her mind, she will not change it. She is also secretly looking for capable people everywhere. All signs indicate that what Song Panning is going to do is definitely not an ordinary thing. Perhaps her goal is not the position of goddess, but the position of goddess will definitely help her achieve her goal."

"Young Miss, please listen to what I have to say again."

Lin Wanjun completely disregarded Du Wanli's advice.

After repeated attempts to persuade him failed, Du Wanli sought out Lin Jinxuan.

"I couldn't persuade the young lady to take action against Song Panning. She still held onto her previous idea of ​​defeating Song Panning fair and square."

Du Wanli spoke expressionlessly. Lin Jinxuan listened in silence, then said, "If that's the case, then why not? No matter how cunning Song Panning is, she wouldn't lay a hand on Lin Wanjun, would she?"

"Miss Lin, if the eldest young lady is so naive, are you just as naive? The position of goddess represents the highest power and the highest status. She is the number one person under the control of the temple. Eldest young lady, think about it. In the face of such great benefits, can human feelings really be trusted? Or rather, can human feelings withstand the test of interests?"

"Alright, even if Song Panning keeps her promise, can the young lady defeat her? If Song Panning ascends to the position of goddess, can she take care of the Lin family and the young lady as agreed? Perhaps, these are just possibilities. To hand over one's chance of survival to someone else is like a venomous snake surrendering its fangs or a ferocious beast surrendering its claws. This is not just unwise, it's foolish. I am the young lady's follower, and what I must guarantee first is the young lady's interests. Song Panning must be defeated!"

Lin Jinxuan remained silent, the atmosphere somewhat oppressive. After pondering for a long time, she slowly spoke: "Even if everything is as you say, what can you do?"

“Foolish people strive for fame and fortune openly, while wise people often act in secret, just like water, willingly dwelling in the lowest places.” Du Wanli smiled slightly, leaned closer, and whispered in Lin Jinxuan’s ear, “I have made all the arrangements, all I need to do is…”

"What!?"

After hearing Du Wanli's plan, Lin Jinxuan gasped and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief: "This is risky, and it treats the temple and the Song family like fools. If you do this, our family will be in trouble once it is found out."

"Although this move is dangerous, I am absolutely confident. I can assure you that if the truth comes out, I am willing to step forward and take full responsibility."

"But, even so, my sister won't agree."

“So we can’t tell her about this,” Du Wanli said. “Actually, I know the young lady very well. She doesn’t say it on the surface, but in reality, she really wants the position of goddess. However, she keeps it to herself because of her friendship with Song Panning.”

"But, like this..."

"Don't worry, Miss will only be happy if we take the initiative. After all, we'll be the ones playing the villains, so what can Miss say? Besides, what does Song Panning matter when it comes to the Lin family?"

Lin Jinxuan hesitated for a long time before saying, "The Song family is now an appendage of the Lin family. If you do this, Song Xingtian will also get involved. After all, according to your plan, after such an incident, Song Xingtian can't just abandon his daughter. So what you're doing is putting the Lin family in the eye of the storm."

"Don't worry about that. I have something on Song Panning. I guarantee that I'll make her act according to our plan."

"If that's the case, why don't you just threaten her directly? Why..."
