Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 762

Chapter 762: Chapter 759: Life is Short_1

Murong Yu’s smile gradually faded, and his gaze towards Bai Qingyan became more solemn.

"Murong Yan wouldn’t ask like this because neither Murong Yan nor I are arrogant. We both dare not claim... that in the future, only he and I will contend for supremacy. The world’s situation changes rapidly. Who dares to say they have the power to control the future? Yan dares. I, Bai Qingyan, do not dare."

Even now, Bai Qingyan did not walk as if on thin ice as before, but she was still cautious and dared not slack off in the slightest.

Who dares to say that the various measures of the Empress of Xiliang will not push Xiliang to its peak again?

Who dares to say that the future will not be a tripartite confrontation?

Who dares to say... that he can grasp the world in his lifetime and unify it?

Bai Qingyan dared not; presumably, Murong Yan dared not either!

She had not forgotten the Bai family’s generations of ambition for peace and was exhausting all her efforts for it.

Bai Qingyan’s clear, slow voice sounded like thunder striking, awakening Murong Yu.

Perhaps, because Yan had reclaimed Nanyan and had beaten the Wei Kingdom to the point of no resistance, everything had gone smoothly. Murong Yu believed Yan could soon pacify the world, as long as... Jin Kingdom’s war god, Princess of Zhen, could be persuaded to join Yan. Unification was within reach.

Before coming, he could guess that Bai Qingyan was pretending to be ill to reduce the Imperial Family’s suspicions and thus let the Bai family survive. But he did not expect Bai Qingyan’s ambition to be so grand; she wanted Jin Kingdom... and the world!

He underestimated Bai Qingyan’s ambition. Indeed, as she said... Though he did not look down on women because of his mother, he had never truly regarded women as equals to men, capable of great achievements.

Since he had already opened the conversation and spoken such heart-piercing words, even if this future sister-in-law resented him, Murong Yu still wanted to achieve today’s purpose of visiting Bai Qingyan.

"The Bai Clan is indeed admirable, but... if you join Yan and work hand in hand with a like-minded lover, wouldn’t it be possible to achieve the Bai family’s ambition faster? Or is it that A Yan’s will has changed, seeking eternal glory for oneself rather than peace for the people? So... wanting to change the ruler of Jin and compete with Yan for supremacy!"

Murong Yu’s voice was gentle, but his words became increasingly aggressive: "Is A Yan afraid that after joining Yan... she will end up making wedding clothes for my Yan Imperial Family, making the Murong family famous rather than the Bai family?"

"Dare I ask... is Yan also seeking eternal fame for its own selfish desires?" Bai Qingyan countered.

"The Murong family is the rightful Imperial Family of Yan. It is only natural to pacify the world for the common people!"

"Why can my Bai family only make wedding clothes for the so-called rightful Imperial Family, and not leave a name for both pacifying the world and for the Bai family’s legacy? Pacifying the world is a great merit that should indeed be recorded in history. This is not a matter of choosing one over the other. As Chen Sheng said in ancient times: Are kings, nobles, and generals born with an inherent status? The Murong bloodline... their ancestors were not born emperors! Looking up five generations from Emperor Yan, the Murong Clan were usurpers and rebels! Empress Ji said she was raised by a courtesan from a brothel, did she not?"

Feng Yao raised his eyes, brimming with killing intent as he looked at Bai Qingyan.
