Chapter 1008: Chapter 623: The Change of Tatar Chao_3

"The death of the former king was meant to act as medicine, intended to cure the millennium-old corruptions of the Tartar Chao."

Jia Yi narrowed her exquisite eyes and quickly retorted: "Had he not done so at that time, all plans would have crumbled to dust, and the countless resources and machinery seized would have been left behind in the Dayan Territory."

Xu Yuan shook his head and raised his index and middle fingers:

"He left you two paths: one, to use the powerful artifacts of the Yan Dynasty to attack Dayan and seize the world."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan turned around, bent his knees, and sat cross-legged on the bed, locking eyes with the girl whose emerald-green pupils gleamed like precious gemstones:

"Unfortunately, the first path that Nalan Ting sought from the heavens has already been squandered by you later generations. During those thirty years when you Tartar People did not invade the borders of Dayan, you must have been consumed by internal conflicts, right?"

"..."

Jia Yi’s emerald gaze wavered slightly as she averted her eyes.

The immense resources obtained through the former king’s sacrifice were transported deep into the Great Desert, but what followed was not the resurgence of prosperity, but rather round after round of internal conflicts and strife among the clans over the offspring of the former king.

Despite possessing the powerful artifacts seized from Dayan and the craftsmanship of renowned artisans, in fifty years, the Tartar Chao had indeed grown stronger, but it still fell far short of the glorious era envisioned by the former king.

"Looks like I was right..."

Xu Yuan watched the girl’s expression, his smile widening as he curled in his middle finger, lightly tapping the ruby pendant at her chest with his index finger:

"Your incompetence as later generations was something even Nalan Ting had foreseen, and that’s why he left you the second path—to seek survival by compromise and integration. But to walk this second path, he could no longer sow irreconcilable hatred between ethnic groups within the Dayan Territory."

"Otherwise, the only fate left for you Tartar People would be to end up like the Northern Barbarians today."

When the words fell, the room sank into an ocean-deep silence.

After an indeterminate amount of time, in the dim lighting over the bed, the voice belonging to the girl from the Western Region finally emerged slowly:

"You mean... those people who came with the former king’s heart in hand are secretly plotting to seize control of the Tartar Royal Court under the guise of the Qilin Wolf’s name?"

"Yes."

"In other words, the former king cooperated with them?"

"Most likely."

"...."

Jia Yi pondered for a moment, then lightly nodded with a swift decision:

"Understood. I will give you the token to bring the Qilin Wolf into the city."

"....."

Upon hearing this, Li Junwu immediately flashed a subtle smile, preparing to make a witty remark, but a slight furrowing of her brows betrayed her hesitation.

For in her peripheral vision, she caught sight of Xu Yuan’s sombre and indifferent expression.

Xu Yuan looked at Jia Yi, smiling as he spoke:

"Of course you can, but I must caution you not to entertain the idea of cooperating with the Sects."

"..." Jia Yi frowned slightly in confusion.

Xu Yuan paid no heed to her expression.

As one of the World Bosses of Cang Yuan, Jia Yi, though still young, possessed unparalleled intelligence.

Expecting a woman like her to blindly follow Li Junwu due to mere infatuation was clearly unrealistic.

The current situation in the Western Desert, she must fully grasp. The state of affairs within the Dayan Territory, she would undoubtedly understand as well.

Cooperating with them was cooperation; cooperating with the Sects was also cooperation.

Under the girl’s unyielding gaze, Xu Yuan maintained his smiling expression and spoke softly:

"As a visionary capable of foreseeing decades of future trajectory, Nalan Ting would undoubtedly leave behind arrangements after his ’death.’ Yet your Tartar Chao ultimately descended into chaos internally, and once in turmoil, it lasted thirty years."

Jia Yi furrowed her brows and said quietly:

"What... do you mean by that?"

Xu Yuan shrugged, his eyes curling as he smiled:

"I’m merely reminding you, the world’s visionaries are not limited to your former king alone. Not everyone will act according to his plans."

With these words,

Xu Yuan, while taking off his boots and climbing onto the bed, casually grabbed a pillow, lay down, and turned his gaze sideways, staring at her emerald eyes before saying nonchalantly:

"You should properly think over my words. There’s still quite some time before the break of dawn and the opening of the city gates, little Goddess sister~"
