Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Insult my husband, and you’ll die! Fei Yan slays Yan Dan!

Moon Goddess remained silent, obviously agreeing with Fei Yan’s words.

Yan Dan, hearing this mockery, retorted: “My life is trivial, but if I don’t return to Yan, who will expose Qin’s ambition?”

“When the world is drenched in blood, that is what I am worried about.”

Fei Yan’s eyes gleamed: “How do you know?”

Seeing her release the finger seal, Yan Dan’s tense heart slowly relaxed.

He tidied up his disheveled robe.

Plucked a few stray grasses from his hair.

Calmly said: “Qin’s ambition is not recent. Destroying Han and attacking Zhao is just the beginning.”
“Their ultimate goal is to scheme for the entire world.”

“If the world goes to war because of the Qin State, who knows how many people will become homeless, their families destroyed.”

Fei Yan looked at him expressionlessly.

But the flicker in her eyes had already seen through him.

Without mercy, she said, “Are you worried about the people of the world, or about the survival of your Yan State?”

Yan Dan was instantly choked!

He opened his mouth to argue, but he didn’t dare to speak falsely under Fei Yan’s cold gaze.

Seeing his expression, Fei Yan’s heart suddenly became as clear as a mirror.

“What a righteous and lofty statement, always claiming it’s for the people of the world, but in reality, it’s just for the survival of your Yan State,

and your position as the crown prince!”

This person is truly disgusting.

Fake emotions, selfishness are one thing.

But to speak so grandiosely.

My husband is still the best.

Pure-hearted, kind, consistent inside and out.

Even if he’s a bit lustful, he’s openly so.

His good qualities are countless.

Yan Dan’s face was extremely unsightly, he wanted to say something nice to leave a good impression on the two.

But he didn’t expect the people of the Yin-Yang School to be so skilled in seeing through people!

He was seen through instantly!

This makes things difficult.

When he first met Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess, he had already formed an idea.

The astrological divination of the Yin-Yang School is extraordinary, and these two are top experts.

If he could get their help, his anti-Qin ambitions would be greatly aided.

However, the Yin-Yang School has always had a bad reputation in the martial world and many enemies.

If he took them under his command, it would probably draw criticism.

It might even threaten his position as the crown prince.

The best would be to find a way to make them willingly stay by his side incognito to serve his purposes.

Yan Dan’s mind turned rapidly and he quickly came up with an idea.

He smiled brightly at the hostile Fei Yan.

“I just heard that you two plan to go to the Qin State?”

Fei Yan looked at him coldly, “Yes, so what?”

This attitude made Yan Dan quite unhappy.

But he wasn’t their match.

So he had to smile apologetically, “May I ask if you two are planning to serve the Qin State?”

It wasn’t unusual for philosophers to attach themselves to a ruling dynasty.

For the Yin-Yang School to grow stronger, choosing a state as support was reasonable.

Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess exchanged a glance.

Hearing the crown prince’s implication, it seemed there was more to his words.

“Correct, I am under orders from the Yin-Yang School’s Eastern Sovereign to assist Qin State. What high opinion does the crown prince have?”

Although the Moon Goddess and Fei Yan didn’t get along well,

they were both from the Yin-Yang (bgfa) School.

Yan Dan was a complete outsider.

No matter how big their conflict, it wouldn’t erupt now.

Yan Dan felt delighted, indeed!

That makes things easier!

He smiled, “You are secluded within the Yin-Yang School, unaware of worldly affairs. You might not know the current situation in Qin State.”

“Qin State now has a National Advisor deeply trusted by the Emperor of Qin and the Empress Dowager.”

“If you go now, you might make a wasted trip.”

“Think about it, if the National Advisor knew you had exceptional abilities, would he let you stay to serve Qin State?”

“Wouldn’t that be a huge threat to his position?”

“If you two go rashly, you might not even get to see the Emperor of Qin and the Empress Dowager, but be blocked by the National Advisor, or worse,

even driven out of Qin State.”

Fei Yan raised an eyebrow.

My husband would drive me away?

Do you even hear what you’re saying?

Previously in Xianyang, Fei Yan stayed reclusive. Later, after moving into the villa, she became even more low-key.

So Yan Dan didn’t know she had been in Xianyang, let alone her relationship with Li Mo.

The Moon Goddess noticed Fei Yan’s emotional change.

She became thoughtful.

A slight smile played at the corner of her mouth, and she asked Yan Dan, “Oh, according to the crown prince, the National Advisor is so narrow-minded?”

Fei Yan’s gaze immediately darkened, looking unkindly at the Moon Goddess.

Yan Dan was drawn in by the Moon Goddess’s words, failing to notice Fei Yan’s discomfort.

With deep emotion, he said, “Alas, you two don’t know.”

“That National Advisor of Qin, who knows what sorcery he wields, has bewitched the Emperor of Qin and the Empress Dowager.”

“Prime Minister Lu detected something amiss earlier, yet who would have thought the National Advisor would be so audacious, speaking eloquently in front of the Emperor and Empress Dowager.”

“He claimed that Prime Minister Lu had intentions of rebellion.”

“The young Emperor of Qin failed to see through it, and the Empress Dowager, being a mere woman, believed the National Advisor’s words. Together, they broke the backbone of the Qin state.”

“The National Advisor is also insanely lecherous. Relying on Qin’s power, he went to Han, kidnapped Princess Hongliang and their great general Bai Xianwu, and insisted that they marry him as concubines.”

“When the two resisted, he forcibly took them back, subjecting them to inhuman tortures.”

“It was only after the Emperor of Han exchanged fifteen cities that they were returned.”

Fei Yan’s small hand, hidden in her sleeve, trembled slightly.

Her face, however, was as calm as still water, even her gaze remained gentle.

To an onlooker, it would seem she was entranced.

But those who knew her, like the Moon Goddess, understood.

Yan Dan was in deep trouble, big trouble.

She had finally realized what was wrong with Fei Yan.

It was her attitude towards that National Advisor!

It seemed that she couldn’t tolerate anyone speaking a single bad word about him, or allowing any harm to come his way.

“Is that so? The National Advisor of Qin, is he really as worthless as the Crown Prince says?”

The Moon Goddess discretely averted her gaze from Fei Yan’s face.

Yan Dan had no clue what these two sisters were thinking.

Hearing the Moon Goddess’s question, he thought she might be swayed.

Seizing the opportunity, he continued, “This matter is widely known, you can ask anyone. If there’s a single false word in my account, may I be struck by lightning.”

“Think about it, the National Advisor of Qin now wields all the power, but with his narrow-mindedness and lecherous nature.”

“Hindering you from serving Qin is one thing, but if he sees you, these two celestial beauties, and forcibly takes you into his bedchamber, wouldn’t you be following in the footsteps of Princess Hongliang and Bai Xianwu?”

“The National Advisor, backed by the Emperor and Empress Dowager of Qin, and proficient in sorcery, has already committed many such treacherous acts.”

“Your celestial elegance must not be sullied.”

Fei Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she calmly said, “You speak reason, Crown Prince. In your opinion, what should the two of us do?”

The Moon Goddess subtly moved aside a bit.

Her senior sister was about to make a big move!

Yan Dan was overjoyed.

She asked this, so she must believe me!

He quickly shared his plan
.
“You two should choose a dynasty for the Yin-Yang School to serve. Why not consider my Yan state?”

“My Yan state may not be as strong as Qin, but it is prosperous.”

“The key is, with your help, given time, it’s not impossible for Yan to surpass Qin.”

“If you agree, I guarantee with the name of the Crown Prince, you will be honored as high ministers and treated with the highest respect.”

“This is much better than risking going to Qin.”

“What do you say?”

Firstly, lure them to Yan, then slowly lower their guard.

Gradually win them over, and eventually make them his concubines.

At that point, wouldn’t these sisters be at his mercy?

Making them work behind the scenes for him secretly would be even easier.

The members of the Yin-Yang School were most suited for such shadowy work!

The more he thought about it, the more promising it seemed.

From her response, it appeared she was tempted.

All that remained was to lure them back!

“What does Senior Sister think?”

The Moon Goddess took a few steps to the side and asked aloud.

Her eyes, hidden beneath the veil, were filled with amusement.

Fei Yan nodded lightly, “Sounds good.”

Yan Dan was instantly overjoyed!

He didn’t even notice why the Moon Goddess stood so far away.

The matter was settled!

Heaven must be aiding me, to let me encounter them here.

This must be heaven’s blessing upon the Yan state and me, Yan Dan!

Impatient, he asked, “So how about you accompany me back now?”

Fei Yan’s plump, red lips curved into a slight smile.

“Why not let the Crown Prince go ahead, and I will see him off. Wouldn’t that be better?”

Yan Dan didn’t quite grasp what she meant.

Fei Yan’s always calm gaze suddenly turned cold.

“Not good!”

Yan Dan was scared out of his wits by this sudden turn of events.

Fei Yan raised her jade hand.

The hand seal she had been holding onto, layered over a dozen times with “Dragon’s Roaming Qi,” was swiftly cast out in an instant.

There was absolutely no chance for Yan Dan to escape.

Those who insult my husband must die!
