Dual Cultivator Reborn [System In The Cultivation World] Chapter 1032: A masterplan

"So you are heading to the Feng clan’s territory?" Athena’s gaze was serious as she looked at Yohan.

Yohan offered a nod in confirmation. He had already made up his mind to depart the clan after attending the meeting with the other branch families of the Lin clan. Now that he had ascended to the patriarch’s position, it seemed an opportune moment to convene with the heads of these subordinate families. Though official invitations had been dispatched, Yohan harbored no grand expectations for them. Two years had passed since his arrival in this world, and he had yet to encounter these family lords who purportedly served the Lin clan. A substantial portion of the Lin clan’s annual budget was channeled towards them, yet in return, the Lin clan received virtually no support, save for letters of critique regarding the rashness of the young master, Yohan.

’This is going to be a tedious affair,’ Yohan mused internally, contemplating the impending meeting with those elder figures. He was equally incensed to learn that several elders within the clan had conveyed their reservations to Alena concerning Yohan’s management of affairs within the Nichole clan territory. Whispers even suggested that some had objected to Alena’s incumbency as matriarch.

"Is there anything you require of me?" Noticing Yohan’s evident displeasure and deep in thought, Athena gently traced a finger across his chest. Yohan’s awareness returned, and he met her gaze, releasing a heavy sigh.

He proceeded to articulate the internal clan matters. Athena listened, her brow furrowed, as Yohan detailed his concerns about the clan's internal politics. She had, after all, navigated similar convoluted situations herself.

"I’m tempted to eliminate all those scoundrels…" Yohan expressed his frustration, referring to the elders who had served under his grandfather and father. The thought of their demise crossed his mind.

Observing his state, Athena let out a soft chuckle. In the very next moment, she planted a kiss on his cheek, catching Yohan completely by surprise.

"I understand your frustrations… and I also recognize that navigating internal politics isn’t your forte…" Athena remarked, acknowledging Yohan’s straightforward disposition.

"It will be challenging for you to oust those old guards who have been with this clan for so long…"

Yohan sighed at her words. After all, eliminating everyone wasn’t a viable option. Such an action could very well cripple the clan’s very essence. Yet, at the same time, he felt utterly weary of dealing with those established figures during his tenure.

"I have a plan… I know how to resolve the current predicament!" Athena’s eyes met Yohan’s, a cryptic smile gracing her lips. Yohan’s eyebrows arched in curiosity, intrigued by the confidence radiating from her.

"If you possess a solution to help me through this, I shall be eternally indebted to you!" Yohan whispered, turning to face Athena, his gaze intent. Athena playfully nudged her nose against his before commencing her explanation of a path forward. Yohan’s expression shifted dramatically as he absorbed her words, astonished by the depth of her knowledge and her sharp intellect. She was undeniably ruthless—a natural leader.

Athena proposed that Yohan needed to decisively remove any individual who dared to oppose him. While this might seem extreme, involving the elimination or expulsion of those who had served the clan for generations, it was a necessary decision if he intended to progress without encumbrances. A new order was required for a complete new beginning. In Athena’s view, Yohan differed fundamentally from his predecessors; his actions were driven by a clear objective, unlike his father and grandfather, whose primary focus was merely preserving the Lin clan’s existing foundation. Generation after generation, the Lin clan had seen a decline, losing its standing within the region. Its growth had stagnated for centuries; although the Lin clan remained one of the most significant clans in the northern region, it lacked a robust foundation.

Yohan listened in surprise as Athena elaborated on the intricate details of his clan’s history. He was genuinely impressed by Athena’s profound understanding of the Lin clan’s affairs.

"Regarding the establishment of a new order… you have your allies. All of them are formidable individuals: Jasmine, the lady from the Thousand Poisons Valley; Milan, the lady from the Xeng clan; Xiao Feng, the lady from the Feng clan; Yulia, the lady from the Nichole clan… you possess ample talent at your disposal when it comes to political maneuvering."

"In addition to them, you have capable individuals like Diya, Natasha, and Neena…" Athena added, her gaze fixed on Yohan. He was truly impressed by Athena’s counsel. He realized he didn't need to depend on those aging elders; his women were his greatest asset, the most powerful weapon for leading the clan effectively.

 "You truly are a prodigy..." Yohan exclaimed, his spirits soaring upon hearing Athena's words. He immediately drew her into a tight embrace, his hands firmly clasping her waist. "Well, it is hardly a significant feat. Furthermore, I have observed considerable talent among the women you rescued from the Nichole clan's domain, particularly Alma and Lee Qi. Besides those two, you could also integrate others into the clan," Athena murmured, having already identified many gifted individuals liberated from the Nichole clan's grasp. "It would be most beneficial to assign them roles and utilize them to fortify the very foundation of the Lin clan..." Athena was in the midst of finishing her sentence when Yohan shifted her left thigh over his waist, the tip of his member brushing against the entrance to her intimate space. "Handle it for me; I entrust the selection process entirely to you," Yohan whispered. Athena let out a gasp, taken aback by the weighty responsibility Yohan intended to place upon her. She felt inclined to refuse, but before she could voice her objection, her mind went blank as something substantial and warm entered her body, catching her completely by surprise. "Yohan..." She gazed at him, her eyes conveying a sense of desperate appeal. "Kindly assist me just this once. Allow me to manage the arduous tasks; you need not concern yourself with the clan elders. Before departing for the Feng clan's territory, my intention is to settle matters with all of them," Yohan whispered. Athena swallowed hard, realizing Yohan had intentionally created this situation, denying her any opportunity to refuse. Finally, she let out a soft gasp and, with a hand that trembled slightly, cupped his handsome face, drawing her lips closer to his. "Very well, I shall help you...," she declared, pressing her lips against Yohan's. 'Haha, I am a genius! I knew she wouldn't refuse me... Now, I am liberated from the laborious task of sifting through all that talent-scouting drudgery,' Yohan mused internally. In the next instant, he shifted his weight, repositioning himself atop Athena. His member was already deeply ensconced within her, and she drew ragged breaths, overwhelmed by the intense pleasure accompanying the sudden, forceful thrust. As the pair became engrossed in their dual cultivation, a small figure within the Lin clan manor opened their luminous eyes and clicked their tongue, expressing clear vexation. "These detestable, treacherous women... I will make them pay once I break free from this damnable curse of mine!"
