Chapter 465 Succession And Truth (2)



"Pave my way to the throne?" Mu Bao Bao repeated before her face turned dark.

Then all of a sudden, she roared out, "Do you think that I would want the throne after seeing everything that you've done to keep it? You've completely ignored the things that are important to chase the throne and you're saying that it was all necessary? Who told you that it was necessary because it certainly wasn't me!"

Emperor Mu's face filled with sadness again when he heard this, but he said with a deep breath, "It is the duty of our Mu Royal Family. We have made an oath to the people of this empire to protect and care for them, so that is what we must do."

Mu Bao Bao exploded once again after hearing this, "This is what we must do? Whoever decided that? Not me, that's for sure!"

Then she pointed at Emperor Mu and said, "After hearing all of this, I've made up my mind. I don't want your throne and I don't want you in my life. From now on, there is no relationship between us!"

Emperor Mu revealed a very hurt expression when he heard this, but he still said, "Bao Bao..."

Before he could say anything else, Mu Bao Bao slashed out at the ground in front of him and said, "You're not worthy of calling me that! From now on, don't ever call me that!"

Emperor Mu revealed a very lost look and he didn't know what to say in response to this.

All that could be seen in his eyes was the hurt look that seemed like his heart had been shattered to pieces.

But in the end, it was Lin Fan who calmed down the situation.

Lin Fan came up behind Mu Bao Bao and took her by the shoulders, pushing her arms down.

Mu Bao Bao turned to look at him, but then she pouted her cheeks as if she was unhappy with the way that he was acting. After all, trying to calm her down now meant that he was still listening to what Emperor Mu was saying, which meant that he was going against her.

But Lin Fan calmly said, "Let's hear him out."

Mu Bao Bao immediately said in a thorny voice, "Why?"

Lin Fan didn't mind as he continued in the calm voice, "Because we need information to plan out our next move."

Mu Bao Bao was about to say something, but then she suddenly knitted her brows as if she had realized something. She just looked at Lin Fan with those knitted brows until she finally said, "You're planning on going along with his plan?"

Lin Fan didn't say anything, but he did give a slow nod in the end.

When Mu Bao Bao saw this, she immediately exploded again as she said, "You know what kind of things that he's done and you still want to work with him? Tell me, did our relationship not mean a single thing to you?"

Lin Fan pressed down on her shoulders again, but she broke out of his grasps.

Mu Bao Bao was much stronger than Lin Fan in the first place, so he wasn't able to stop her even if he wanted to.

After she broke free of his grasp, she raised her sword to point at him as she said, "Was this all that you wanted in the first place? Did you just want power? Influence? Wealth? Was that all that I was to you?"

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a hurt look when he heard this, but he forced himself to stay calm as he said, "This is about keeping the people that we care about safe."

"The people we care about?" Mu Bao Bao gave a cold laugh when she heard this before saying, "The people that I care about are all dead."

Lin Fan immediately came forward and grabbed her shoulder again, completely ignoring the fact that she had her sword pointed at him. He knew that she wouldn't actually use it against him, so he didn't need to fear it.

He came right in front of her and looked into her eyes before saying, "That's not true. Are you saying that you don't care about me, the others, and all the rest in the new Love Sect? Do we really mean nothing to you?"

When she heard this, Mu Bao Bao couldn't help trembling...because she knew that he was right.

There were now more people that she cared about after she had lost everything.

She couldn't say that there were no longer people that she cared about.

And the one that she cared about the most was...the one standing in front of her.

So her sword slowly came down and her expression relaxed until she said, "I'm sorry."

Lin Fan let out a secret sigh of relief, but he also patted her on the head with a smile and said, "It's alright, don't worry about it."

He wasn't worried since he had been monitoring her affection through the system the entire time. Even though she had her outburst just now, there wasn't a single notification of affection decrease.

After giving her some time to calm down, he said, "Let's calm down and listen to what he has to say, alright?"

Mu Bao Bao had an unhappy look on her face, but she still gave a nod. She then sat down on Lin Fan's legs instead of in her own seat.

Seeing her like this, Lin Fan couldn't help thinking that this pouting master of his was cute. It was rare for him to see this side of his master in the first place.

Once they were seated again, Emperor Mu let out a sigh of relief.

He had been watching the entire time nervously, but not doing anything because he knew that there was nothing for him to do.

He was the father that had abandoned the daughter, so he didn't have a right to say anything in the first place.

After they sat down again, he said, "Bao...this miss, I know that I've wronged you in the past, but please give me the chance to make up for it."

Mu Bao Bao had a very unwilling look on her face, but with the encouragement of Lin Fan's headpats, she said, "Just say what you have to say. Just know that I'm not doing this because I want to, but because I need to to protect the people that I really care about."

There was a hurt look that appeared in Emperor Mu's eyes, but he also understood that this was how it was. The only thing he could do was try to slowly make it up to her.

Now that she was calm, he said, "Everything has been prepared for you to take the throne, but before that, there are a few things that you need to do."n0VelUsB.c0m

At this, Emperor Mu shed the appearance of a grieving father and revealed the appearance of the mighty ruler of this nation.

Even if they didn't like him, they had to respect the aura that he had.

Emperor Mu said in a deep voice, "I'm sure you've heard that there are others who are favoured in the race of succession, they are being supported by the sects and families that I had mentioned before."

When they heard this, they couldn't help knitting their brows.

After all, they had been dealing with these various princes all this time and being jerked around by them.

So it could be said that they were familiar with them.

Seeing this, Emperor Mu continued, "I have already built up enough forces and support for this miss to take over the throne, but before that, we need to take down some of the sects that support the other princes." Then after a pause, he said, "That includes the sects that are supporting the eighth and twelfth prince."

The moment that they heard this, Mu Bao Bao was about to lose it again.

That was because she knew exactly which sects Emperor Mu was referring to.

These were the sects that had worked together to destroy the Love Sect!

But Lin Fan grabbed hold of her at the very last second and pushed her back down on his lap.

She looked like she was about to crack her teeth from gritting them, but he calmed her down by stroking her head.

Then he turned back to Emperor Mu and said, "How do you suggest that we destroy them? You should know how much power we have in the first place."

Emperor Mu gave a simple nod before saying, "I'll send people out to help you, they will follow this miss' orders since they have been trained to support her in the first place."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Emperor Mu before saying, "You're saying that you'll send people to join the Love Sect?"

Emperor Mu gave a simple nod in response.

Mu Bao Bao had a very unwilling look on her face when she heard this, but Lin Fan still said, "Alright, since you're this sincere, we will accept them."

Emperor Mu was surprised to hear this, but Mu Bao Bao then said, "He's the sect master now, so he can make this decision."

Emperor Mu was even more surprised when he heard this.

He had assumed that Mu Bao Bao was the sect master, but now it seemed that it was completely different.

This was not something that he had planned on, but since he had already said it, he couldn't go back on this now.
