Hearing Bai Bing's last sentence, Shui Liu Xiang couldn't help but draw in a long breath.
Shui Liu Xiang had to admit that she had been played for a fool by the five elites.
She had thought that after the deal was struck, the five elites would not interfere with the management of the military academy and she would be able to control the military academy single-handedly.
However, she had never imagined that the five elites would commit such a grave mistake and be stripped of all their positions.
In this way, their supervisory positions would naturally be gone. In other words, Shui Liu Xiang had given them a Heavenly Craft Island for nothing in return.
Shui Liu Xiang looked at Bai Bing with shining eyes. She knew that this was the result of not having a tactician by her side. If Bai Bing had been there at the time, she wouldn't have been played so miserably.
Looking deeply at Bai Bing, Shui Liu Xiang said, "Didn't the Five Golden Flowers take over the five Emperor's imperial guards? Why would they come to the military academy? "
With a mocking smile, Bai Bing said, "Your thinking is too childish. Do you really think that the five elites are completely ruined? Do you really think that the Five Golden Flowers are tied to the imperial guards? "
I … this!
Faced with Bai Bing's questioning, Shui Liu Xiang couldn't say a single word.
Shaking her head, Bai Bing said, "Although the five elites have been stripped of all their positions and locked up in the family's Hall of Repentance, unable to take even half a step out of the family, the imperial guards were originally stationed in their family's residence."
"You mean that the Five Golden Flowers are only in name?" Shui Liu Xiang said in realization.
Nodding, Bai Bing said, "The five Emperor's imperial guards were originally formed by the five elites. The imperial guards are all their people. The five Golden Flowers can't take over at all."
Although in name, the Five Prodigies were no longer the leaders of the Imperial Guard, in reality, that was only the Five Emperor's explanation to the world. The true leaders of the Imperial Guard were still the Five Prodigies.
Although the five elites had committed a grave mistake, their talents and aptitudes were still so high. They were still so outstanding. They all had the potential of Emperor. How could they really give up on them?
As for the Five Golden Flowers, they had only stood up in name and were only doing it perfunctorily. Their real goal was to enter the military academy. Although they said they were here to supervise, they were actually fighting for power!
Upon hearing Bai Bing's analysis, Shui Liu Xiang's face instantly turned pale. She finally realized that her biggest opponent wasn't Chu Xingyun.
Besides, Chu Xingyun only knew how to give her things. Even if he wanted to snatch them, he might not be able to beat her.
After all, Shui Liu Xiang was the first disciple of the Emperor of the Arctic Frost. She also had the strength of an Emperor. In terms of position, she was the general of the Wolf Shooting Army, the marshal of the Sky Wolf Shooting Army, and the principal of the Sky Wolf Military Academy. How could Chu Xingyun compete with her?
Just take the 1,000,000 Heavenly Craftsmen for example. The military had ordered them to leave Chu Xingyun immediately, and Chu Xingyun hadn't had the slightest ability to resist.
As the saying went, a person with a higher rank would be crushed to death. Chu Xingyun wouldn't be able to compete with her.
As Bai Bing had said, the ones who could truly threaten her were the Five Golden Flowers from the five great clans.
Upon seeing Bai Bing's nonchalant expression, Shui Liu Xiang finally believed her.
At first, Shui Liu Xiang had thought that Bai Bing was just trying to obtain benefits for Chu Xingyun. Thus, no matter how reasonable her words were, Shui Liu Xiang was still conflicted deep down.
However, when Bai Bing laid everything out clearly in front of her, Shui Liu Xiang instantly understood.
Chu Xingyun definitely wasn't her opponent. He was her biggest helper.
Chu Xingyun would only help her. He wouldn't steal anything from her.
Shui Liu Xiang's real opponent couldn't be anyone else. It was the Five Golden Flowers.
When she saw that Shui Liu Xiang was finally completely moved, Bai Bing said, "If you have any trusted aides, you'd better arrange them quickly. If the Five Golden Flowers arrive, I'm afraid that the military will give orders directly to many positions."
Trusted aides?
With a bitter smile, Shui Liu Xiang couldn't help but sigh. How could she have trusted aides?
It had been almost five years since she came to this world. However, until now, the only people who could be considered as her trusted aides were the Dingdang sisters.
However, the Dingdang sisters were a little silly and naive. They were not suitable for leadership positions at all.
After thinking about it, it seemed that the leaders of the Wolf Shooting Battalion were the only ones who could be used.
No matter what, Shui Liu Xiang was the general of the Wolf Shooting Battalion, the marshal of the Sky Wolf Shooting Battalion, and the headmaster of the military academy. With the glory and tradition of the Wolf Shooting Battalion, the possibility of them betraying her was the lowest.
If the Wolf Shooting Battalion couldn't be trusted, then she probably wouldn't be able to find anyone worth trusting in the entire world.
Although Shui Liu Xiang was also worried about the soldiers of the Wolf Shooting Battalion, she still sided with Chu Xingyun.
However, in comparison, she would rather these soldiers be like this. In this way, as long as she had a firm grip on Chu Xingyun, there wouldn't be any problems.
If these soldiers were loyal to the Five Golden Flowers, then they were really done for.
Although Shui Liu Xiang and Chu Xingyun didn't have an official wedding ceremony, and they were only husband and wife in name, they weren't husband and wife in reality.
However, regardless of whether it was Shui Liu Xiang or Ye Xueshang, they were both women. In such a situation, they had tacitly agreed to their relationship.
Even if there were problems in the future, it would be a family matter, and it would be much easier to solve.
However, once the power was taken away by outsiders, especially by the Five Golden Flowers, then they would really be done for.
If she had a choice, Shui Liu Xiang wouldn't accept Bai Bing's suggestion. However, the key now was that she really didn't have any trusted aides. She couldn't possibly arrange the new recruits of the Flowing Cloud Battle Battalion in the past two years, right?
After realizing that the Five Golden Flowers would arrive soon, Shui Liu Xiang had no other choice. If she didn't arrange the various positions in the military academy as soon as possible, once the Five Golden Flowers arrived, then it would be troublesome.
While thinking, Shui Liu Xiang took a deep breath and said sincerely to Bai Bing, "Thank you for your advice. I think … I know what to do now."
Hearing Shui Liu Xiang's words, Bai Bing narrowed her eyes and smiled.
In reality, although part of what she said just now was true, most of it was made up.
In reality, the military was not allowed to interfere with the positions in the military academy. This was the condition that Chu Xingyun had proposed back then, and it couldn't be changed.
Originally, Chu Xingyun wanted to be the principal of the military academy himself. He had even arranged all the positions in the military academy. All the team leaders of the Wolf Shooting Battalion were the instructors of the military academy at all levels, as well as the leaders of the various departments.
However, some things happened later on and some changes occurred, causing Chu Xingyun to lose interest.
As for whether the Five Golden Flowers would come or not, Bai Bing didn't dare to guarantee this. Everything was just a guess. She could only say that the possibility was high, but it might not happen.
Right now, after successfully convincing Shui Liu Xiang, those soldiers and team leaders of the Wolf Shooting Battalion would only be indebted to Chu Xingyun. After all … Chu Xingyun had already arranged everything back then, it was just that he hadn't carried it out yet.
Actually, Bai Bing also knew that Chu Xingyun didn't care about these things at all. He had really given everything to Shui Liu Xiang.
However, Bai Bing just didn't want to take advantage of Shui Liu Xiang. In fact, even Bai Bing herself didn't know why she hated Shui Liu Xiang so much and wanted to go against her so much.
After successfully luring Shui Liu Xiang into her trap, Bai Bing finally remembered what she had come here for this time. She smiled and said, "Alright, your matter is settled. Next … we should talk about business."
