Chapter 356: Fight between Dragon and Tiger
Xiao Yuehan: "You really don't need me to go with you? You have to think carefully. After all, I am the Chosen One of the Gods. They will be a little wary of me. Standing next to you will make your words carry more weight."
Nangong Lan: "What you think of, won't they think of it too? Do you think I don't know that my eldest son is still eyeing the throne? The elves are all on his side. Even Xin Yu and Shisi from the Protoss have been bribed by him and now do his bidding. Compared to this, your importance in everyone's heart seems insignificant."
Xiao Yuehan: "That's true. You can handle the rest yourself. I won't get involved."
Nangong Lan: "The Murong family of Tianzhixing is the closest to your family. I asked you to bribe them. How is your bribery going?"
Xiao Yuehan: "Stop talking, it's true. The moment someone leaves, the tea gets cold. Saying they're lifelong friends and brothers is worse than plastic. I've worn my lips out, but they keep delaying and dodging. They keep saying the same thing over and over again: they'll do whatever they want. What can I say to this ambiguous response?"
Nangong Lan: "Nowadays, most people only care about their own interests and don't care about friendship. If you ask someone to do something for you, you have to either be humble or pay a considerable price. Otherwise, it will definitely not be done."
Xiao Yuehan: "Can I ask you a question?"
Nangong Lan: "Ask, there are no unspeakable secrets between us."
Xiao Yuehan: "Why do you want to keep me by your side?"
Nangong Lan: "Besides the fact that you are still useful, the most important point is..."
He looked at Xiao Yuehan with a smile, and that look made Xiao Yuehan shiver from the bottom of his heart.
Nangong Lan patted Xiao Yuehan's shoulder: "It's so that I won't make the same mistake again in the future."
Xiao Yuehan took a deep breath and said, "It turns out that I was wrong. But it doesn't matter. I still appreciate your honesty."
After saying that, he pushed away Nangong Lan's hand on his shoulder and walked into the room.
The time agreed upon by Duanmu Yanbin has arrived, in a high-end and elegant private club halfway up the mountain.
In a large room, three people, each with their own ulterior motives, sat on a wide round table.
Xia Houxuan: "Are you all satisfied with the place I chose?"
Duanmu Yanbin: "This house is so big that you can even hear the echo. What can we complain about the place you chose?"
Xia Houxuan: "You are summoning our royal family to discuss matters in such a grand manner. Of course, I will take it seriously. Since your two major families have conflicts to resolve, then as a neutral party, I naturally have to take on the responsibility of being a conference attendee and resolve the conflict for you."
Nangong Lan: "Why haven't the Murong family members arrived yet?"
Xia Houxuan: "The people in their family are just like their surname, they are all called useless. They said that the head of the family was sick and they didn't even send a representative."
Duanmu Yanbin: "It doesn't matter. We can still handle the problem without them. But if anything happens to their family in the future, we won't be involved at all."
Xia Houxuan: "That's right, what's today's topic?"
Nangong Lan: "Ask the person who initiated the meeting!"
Duanmu Yanbin: "You're asking questions even though you already know the answer. Don't you have any idea of what you've done?"
Nangong Lan: "My wife's brother Duanmu Yanbin, I can continue to treat you as a family member and call you brother-in-law for the sake of Xueying and her child. But if you continue to do this and wrongly accuse me, don't blame me for being disrespectful of family ties and going on a killing spree!"
Duanmu Yanbin: "Do you still have any shame? Do you dare to say that Xueying's death has nothing to do with you?"
Nangong Lan: "I said no, but it seems you won't believe me. So show me the evidence! Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it?"
Duanmu Yanbin: "If I have evidence, would I still be nagging you?"
Nangong Lan: "That means there is no evidence, but it is an indisputable fact that Xueying and High Priest Xin Yu colluded with the God's Chosen One Xu Tuohai to assassinate me and imprison me in the Temple of the Sea God. Xu Tuohai and I are witnesses. As for the role you played in this palace coup, I believe that both of you here have not forgotten it, right?"
Xia Houxuan coughed and said, "I think I've strayed off topic. King Lan, I was forced to accept the established facts. Let the past be the past!"
Nangong Lan: "Go talk to the one next door! Xueying's matter is over, why don't you let it go too?"
Duanmu Yanbin: "I won't let this go so easily. I must seek justice for my sister Xueying. Since you like to settle old scores so much, let's settle both new and old grudges today."
Nangong Lan: "Just come at me, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Xia Houxuan: "Can we postpone discussing the matter of the Queen of Sakura? Our boss just died. Now is not the time for internal strife. Let's elect a new emperor first, and then you two families can fight all you want! I will no longer interfere in your affairs, okay?"
Duanmu Yanbin thought to himself, "That's not what you told me at the beginning. Didn't you say you would support me in killing Nangong Lan and help me ascend to the throne? Why did you change your story now that you're here? I guess he must have been bribed by Nangong Lan to get his hands on both families' favors. How despicable! It turns out that their family can't be trusted."
Nangong Lan: "Then do you still need to choose? Isn't there a very good candidate standing in front of you now?"
Duanmu Yanbin: "Bullshit, the person you are talking about is me, right?"
Nangong Lan: "Who do you think you are? In terms of strength and qualifications, I am the undisputed number one."
"No, there is someone more suitable!" Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, and it turned out that Situ and Nangong Yu had arrived.
Xia Houxuan: "Brother Yu, you are finally here. Your father and your uncle are arguing fiercely and neither of them will give in. You are all family, so please come and mediate to avoid damaging the relationship."
Nangong Yu: "They are all the same. I don't want to get involved in their affairs."
Nangong Lan: "You don't want to get involved? Then why did you come here? Are you trying to compete with us for the throne?"
Nangong Yu: "Am I not qualified?"
Duanmu Yanbin: "Nonsense, what right does a useless person have to speak in front of two more qualified elders?"
Xiahou Xuan: "Hey... Duanmu Yanbin, you're going a bit too far. The throne has always been occupied by those with ability, not by seniority. If this is the case, young people like us will have no chance of making a name for ourselves. Besides, in terms of strength, I don't see how the Prince is any different from you."
Nangong Lan: "Prince Yu? How dare you call him that in front of me? Are you a little prejudiced? Or have you received some favor from my son? As long as I am here, he will always be just a prince of Tianzhixing, my son, and will never become a king."
Xia Houxuan: "I don't care how your family ranks people according to seniority. I'm just speaking the truth. I'll support whoever is more capable. I believe you have nothing to say now, right?"
Duanmu Yanbin: "Words are not enough, how can we prove it?"
