Chen Changan's words made everyone doubt their own ears.
A father's murder, and the killer was the emperor of an enemy nation.
No matter how you looked at it, Chen Changan should never have said such a thing.
Was he supposed to let the murder of his father go unanswered? Hand over the great land and mountains without a fight?
Mu Yunyao was just as taken aback by Chen Changan's words.
"You think one sentence is enough to make me give up everything? Abandon ten years of planning?"
"Chen Changan, you're making it sound far too easy."
"Then let me ask you: would you give up everything for me? Surrender this empire, ripe for the taking?" Mu Yunyao asked with a cold laugh.
"I would."
Chen Changan's firm, decisive answer made the Town Heaven Army's expressions turn furious, confused, and even utterly despairing.
Was this the Town King they had followed?
For a woman, he was actually willing to give up everything?
Mu Yunyao hadn't expected Chen Changan to truly be willing to abandon it all.
His answer struck her hard, sending waves rippling through her heart.
But in the end, Mu Yunyao still didn't choose Chen Changan.
"I'm not as carefree as you."
"Chen Changan, I've been planning this for so many years. It's not just me who's counting on me."
"I can only keep moving forward without hesitation. There's no way I can turn back."
"But if you give up everything and stop opposing me, I can spare your life and set you free."
Hearing Mu Yunyao's words, Chen Changan merely smiled. He was strong enough that he didn't need anyone to spare his life.
"It seems you and I really do need to settle this."
"Since you've made your choice, it's time for me to make mine."
