1036 Chen Yuan’s Past
“The most rational move is for you to kill me. And for someone like you who had been living on the edge of life and death for so many years, shouldn’t you know that better than anyone?”
Chen Yuan was silent for a moment.
“Your protection towards Chi Song Lian is a hassle. No matter how many people you sent to protect him, you won’t be able to fully protect him when I decide to make my move. Why do you even bother to waste your time trying to protect someone you’re not even close?”
Why?
Nan Hua herself didn’t know. She looked at Chen Yuan and slowly said, “He’s still from Fei Yang Kingdom.”
“He’s from Zhang Xu Kingdom.” Chen Yuan sneered. She didn’t care about her image in front of Nan Hua anymore. Even though she used to be paying close attention to the way her other seniors and juniors saw her, she no longer had any qualms right now.
“Do you really think that someone like him will stay loyal to Fei Yang Kingdom when he’s from Zhang Xu Kingdom? His father even contacted his wife secretly from time to time in order to send money for their children. What’s so good about these two?
They’re nothing more than traitors who didn’t deserve to be treated as part of Fei Yang Kingdom! Betraying their own kingdom and curried favor from another kingdom, why did they even want to try acting like a good person?
They’re just trying to make use of Fei Yang Kingdom!”
.....
Nan Hua didn’t say anything and only looked at Chen Yuan, who was venting her anger.
The two of them were similar in the matter of hiding their real feelings.
No matter what they actually felt internally, they would never truly show it on the surface. For reasons only they knew, they would never reveal it to other people as it would also reveal their weakness.
“They’re just people who are pretending to be on your side when they’re still in Fei Yang Kingdom. But when the situation really calls for it, they’ll turn their backs against you.” Chen Yuan took a deep breath. The next moment, her fingers flicked without any warning.
Not in the slightest bit.
...
<Chen 12 Family, years prior>
Chen Yuan was the main daughter of Chen Family and lived somewhat a happy life. Everyone from Chen Family had to learn medicine, be it son or daughter. They would be trained ever since they were young and would then have trial to demonstrate the inheritance technique.
And when it was her turn, the young Chen Yuan performed the best and even able to do it perfectly. She was the next successor of the Chen Family as it was written in the rules of their family that whoever mastered the technique would be the next head.
“Brother, brother, I succeeded!” the young Chen Yuan ran towards her half brother.
“Mhm.” Chen Ye, Chen Yuan’s brother, looked at his younger sister and nodded faintly. He looked a bit similar to Chen Yuan but a few years older and more masculine. He had also learned the same technique, but his result was far worse than his half sister. Though, he was still better than their other siblings.
Their father had several wives coming from various background.
Every single of them would be competing against each other and it was not uncommon to see them scheming against each other. But when it came to this inheritance technique, there was no tricks.
It was simply whether they could do it or not.
The young Chen Yuan was only 13 years old, still somewhat na?ve and ignorant of the world. She only knew that with her able to perform the inheritance technique, it meant that she would finally be able to lift her head high.
“Hehehe, if you want to, I can teach you, Brother!” The young Chen Yuan looked at her older brother smugly.
Chen Ye looked at his na?ve younger sister and shook his head. He raised his hand and rubbed Chen Yuan’s head. “Don’t be so proud of yourself. I’ll surely surpass you soon.”
“Hmph! That’s what you always say, but didn’t you also want to participate in the military?” the young Chen Yuan tilted her head curiously.
If the member of Chen Family couldn’t achieve the standard, they would be allowed to pursue different life in accordance to what they want. Of course, it was only limited to boys.
The women would be married away.
