Chapter 761 - 758: Formidable Opponent_1
The elderly eunuch Feng Yao, who was attending to them, served tea and then stepped aside quietly to wait upon them.
Murong Yu looked at Bai Qingyan with a smile, her gallant and heroic demeanor like that of a man, and said, "This time, I must thank Miss Bai for extending my life."
"Emperor Yan is too kind..." Bai Qingyan took a sip of tea before asking, "I wonder what brings Emperor Yan to meet with me today?"
"Miss Bai claims to be ill but still comes to see me... It shows that you do not see me as an outsider. If Miss Bai doesn’t mind... you can call me Brother Yu. I will boldly regard Miss Bai as my own sister and call you A Yan. Is that all right?"
Murong Yu did not use "We" when speaking to Bai Qingyan but instead used "I," indicating that he did not wish Bai Qingyan to treat him as the emperor of another country.
Seeing Bai Qingyan’s slight astonishment, Murong Yu smiled and said, "I have a younger brother, named Yan... I call him A Yan. Since I regard Miss Bai as a sister, I thought of calling you A Yan. Is that offensive?"
Bai Qingyan did not pretend to be reserved. She shook her head, saying, "Brother Yu specially asked Yue Shi to invite me here. I assume it’s for another matter. Please go ahead."
"I have a reason for seeing A Yan!" Murong Yu’s slight smile revealed a gentleman’s demeanor. "My health cannot be hidden from A Yan. I am not long for this world. The Yan... my son Murong Li is intelligent but not enough to bear the burden of the Yan. Therefore, I wish to pass the throne to my younger brother Murong Yan. I hope A Yan... will not reject this and can marry my younger brother, becoming our Empress Yan."
