Chapter 2015 I have confidence in him
Those originally clear eyes were now filled with suspicion.
After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "I understand."
Arslan looked at her and said, "What do you understand?"
Nan Yan looked at him coldly: "You did not attack us, but it's not that you didn't want to, nor that you were unwilling, but that you didn't dare."
Arslan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Why shouldn't I dare?"
"because,"
Nan Yan said, "You don't want to have another enemy."
“…”
This time, Arslan did not respond immediately, but his eyes flickered slightly.
Nan Yan said: "I am not wrong."
“…”
"Two years ago, I met Monk at sea. He was bidding with us for a batch of ironware. That's when I realized that after getting rid of King Ashige of Beili, your relationship didn't become closer. Instead, as King Nanli, who had absorbed King Beili's power, you became a thorn in his side."
“…”
"He finally got rid of King Beili, and he doesn't want King Nanli to become a more powerful King Beili."
“…”
"He also couldn't tolerate the existence of another person in the junior high school who stood alongside him."
“…”
"So, he wants to get rid of you."
The more she spoke, the heavier Arslan's expression became.
He looked up at Nan Yan, and hesitated several times to speak. In the end, he did not deny it and only said, "What do you think about me?"
"you?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at him for a while.
Although, when people reach the pinnacle of power, they will often be bitten back by power and cannot let go, but now, she seems not to have seen the crazy look in the eyes of King Nanli, who is more powerful than before, after being corrupted by power.
She thought about it and just said, "It doesn't matter what you are going to do."
Arslan's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Why do you say that?"
Nan Yan said: "Like me, I am Si Nan Yan, but more often than not, I am the Imperial Concubine to the people of the world. The Imperial Concubine is more important than Si Nan Yan."
“…”
"Same with you."
“…”
"You are the King of Nanli, the most powerful king in the Kingdom of Neng, second only to the king. So what Arslan thinks is not important at all compared to what the King of Nanli does."
Hearing her say this, Arslan laughed.
But it was a bitter smile.
The look he gave Nan Yan became more admiring and respectful, and he said, "I've really never seen you, Nan Yan. Being with you is not only not boring, but every time, it seems to bring me some surprises."
Nan Yan looked at him sullenly: "You'd better not be so self-indulgent."
“…”
"What I said is just what I wanted to say, it has nothing to do with you."
"well."
Arslan seemed to sense that ever since she was deceived that year, her attitude towards him was completely different from that of a "cousin". Not only did she try her best to distance herself from him, she even deliberately distanced herself from him.
Come to think of it, their deception really hurt her deeply.
Therefore, he did not dare to dwell on this matter any longer and only said: "I just want to say that you are right."
"oh?"
"Now, it doesn't matter what I, Arslan, do."
“…”
"The important thing is that he has chosen to go against our original ideals and stand on the opposite side of me. No matter what I do, it will be useless."
Nan Yan frowned.
She couldn't help but say, "What on earth is he doing?"
“…”
Arslan was silent for a while before he slowly said, "He, he began to frantically exclude those who were different from him, whether they were those who had stood by Ashige or those who followed me later."
“…”
"He didn't let any of them go."
“…”
"Most of those people were our relatives, but he killed them all at once, and a single imperial decree wiped out an entire clan. He didn't even give them a chance."
“…”
"Currently, Kulun City is in a bloody mess, and everyone is in danger."
Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
Ever since she learned that her life experience had nothing to do with the royal family of the Neng Kingdom and that she had been deceived and used by them, she lost even the last bit of brotherly love she had for Monk and Arslan.
However, she was still a little shocked when she heard Arslan say this.
After all, Monk's elegant demeanor as a playboy and his smile that always seemed gentle and affectionate left such a deep impression on people that it was hard for her to imagine that in the past two years, he had turned into a cold-faced, ruthless, and bloodthirsty emperor.
Does power really devour people's hearts?
She also fell silent.
After a long while, he said, "Is there no one around him who can persuade him?"
"advise?"
Arslan smiled bitterly: "Who can get close to him?"
"Not even one person can get close to him?"
"Not really."
Arslan seemed to have suddenly thought of something and murmured, "There is one, only one, but——"
Having said that, he frowned again, as if he didn't want to mention it.
Finally, he just said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this."
Nan Yan gave him a strange look.
However, since he didn't mention it, she naturally didn't ask too much. She just wanted to know their general situation. She could tell him after Zhu Feng came back.
Arslan looked at Nan Yan again, his eyes flickering, and said calmly, "So, because of this, you concluded that I wouldn't dare to touch you?"
Nan Yan glanced at him and said coldly, "Isn't it?"
“…”
"From what you've said, Monk has already killed countless people in Kulun City. I imagine he's also eliminated many of the forces around you. Naturally, you won't stay out of it. Right now, you're probably at your most intense point in the fight with him. If that's the case, you definitely won't create another enemy and expose yourself to attacks from both sides."
“…”
"If you really touch us, I'm not sure how much benefit you can get."
“…”
"But Yan Nation will definitely not give up."
“…”
"You and Monk, even with Ashiger back then, are no match for him."
When talking about "him", Nan Yan's eyes revealed a hint of confidence, even pride, and she said, "Now that you are alone, you should not, and dare not, provoke him."
Arslan was silent for a moment, then looked at her and said, "You seem to have great confidence in him."
Nan Yan said: "Of course."
“…”
"He is the emperor of Yan Country and also my man. Naturally, I have confidence in him."
Arslan looked at her, silent for a long time, and suddenly said in a strange tone: "Are you really that confident?"
Feeling that his tone was different, Nan Yan frowned.
She said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say?"
