Chapter 758 Xiaoyu’s Story

At the mention of his story, Xiaoyu became less reserved.

However, at the thought of his family affairs, the innocent and lovely teenager put on his frosty look again.

Displeased to see Xiaoyu kept a straight face at such a young age, Lin Mengya reached out to pinch his face hard. Seeing the helpless look in his eyes, she looked at him with satisfaction and continued listening to him.

“In fact, Uncle Lie took me back because he had no other choice. I’m the youngest son of Wanyan Chenghui, the Emperor of the Lieyun Empire. Back then, my father had to send me away because our enemies plotted against my elder brothers. Now my returning to the Lieyun Empire has ruined their plan. Sister, don’t be afraid. No one in the Lieyun Empire can hurt you,” Xiaoyu said.

Lin Mengya felt nothing but astonishment at the moment.

What was wrong with her? Although she had this speculation before, she didn’t expect that Xiaoyu turned out to be another prince she met.

Why did she have various relationships with the royal members of various countries in this life?

“Are you alright, sister? What’s wrong? Did you catch a cold just now?” Lin Zhongyu asked.

He stared anxiously at his sister, wondering what made her hold her head, look up to the sky and sigh a moment later.

She sighed and finally accepted her unpredictable fate.

She had even gone through soul travel, not to mention this kind of thing less likely to happen than being struck by lightning.

Perhaps this was sheer dumb luck.

“I’m fine. I just sighed over the fleetness of fate. Since you’re the youngest son of the Emperor of Lieyun Empire, you’ll certainly inherit the throne from your father after going back. Since some people try to hinder you doing that, why don’t you make use of this opportunity to give up the throne?” Lin Mengya said.

She had never considered being an emperor as a good thing.

A wise emperor should care for the national fate and learn to weigh the pros and cons. No one other than the emperor knew how difficult it was.

If it weren’t for the current situation where her husband Long Tianyu had no other choice, she would not have been willing to encourage him to compete for the throne far less distinguished than it seemed to be.

Moreover, Long Tianyu had grown up in the royal family and been exposed to the tactics of manipulating power as an emperor.

She did not have different standards for the two of them, but compared with Long Tianyu, Xiaoyu had grown up in a much inferior environment.

Even if Xiaoyu were to ascend the throne, the powerful officials could easily make him a mere figurehead. Even if he were to manage state affairs in person in the future, there would be a lot of trouble in front of him. It would be much easier for him to be a prince or live a leisurely and wealthy life.

But it seemed that Xiaoyu had to inherit the throne despite his unwillingness.

“I don’t want to inherit the throne, but if I give up the throne, they will kill me sooner or later. My parents and all the officials of my clan will also be killed by them!” As Xiaoyu said, he suddenly showed a furious look on his delicate face.

Lin Mengya was taken aback by this, but she felt sorry for him.

Holding Xiaoyu in her arms, Lin Mengya tried all she could to warm him and let him know the world was not as cruel as he thought.

However, she swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue.

What could she say? Even she, involved in the trouble, had to part with her beloved person. Could she make up a lie to convince him that everything was going well?

After a long while, Lin Mengya spoke in a hoarse voice, “If you want to protect your clansmen, the first thing you have to do is to be cruel. Based on what you have done these days, I realize you have a high consciousness in this regard. So, now I teach you the second thing, which is to manipulate people’s desires. Remember, wars and pains in the world are all caused by people’s desires. If you can manipulate people’s desires, you will be close to success. I can’t teach you to be a wise monarch, but I can teach you to be a worthy person clear about what to love or hate.”

In fact, Lin Mengya didn’t know why she said that.

Perhaps it was because she was keenly aware that no one in the world could go against fate in his life!

Since she couldn’t change her fate, she decided to try her best to take control of it.

As long as she and Xiaoyu took everything under control, no one could get in their way.

Xiaoyu, who put his head on her shoulder, trembled slightly and lifted his head to look at her in puzzlement, as if he got to know her for the first time.

“Are you confused? It doesn’t matter. You just need to remember one thing: we can’t be overwhelmed by the duties on our shoulders. Although I don’t know why I share this soul soother with you, I find a great thing. If you become the Emperor of the Lieyun Empire, I will have another strong backing. In this case, I can do whatever I want in these countries in the future,” Lin Mengya said.

The first few sentences gave Xiaoyu a strong sense of responsibility.

But hearing the following sentences, he showed a bitter face.

Even after coming back to life, his sister still talked in the playful way he was familiar with.

Lin Mengya could occasionally give a lecture, but even she would be bored if she did that often.

After chatting with Xiaoyu for a long time, Lin Mengya finally collected the information she wanted.
