Chapter 697: No Matter What, I Firmly Believe in Mobai

The first of these two possibilities was never going to be the likely cause, for Mobai would not kill her . There was no doubt about it .

As for the second possibility…

Feng Tianlan pursed her lips before saying, “She is not that kind of person . ”

She could not possibly negate everyone, all her friends, just because of Shen Yunya . So long as nothing happened, so long as there was no evidence, she could always choose to believe it .

“Xiao Lan’er, you’re really so…” Mei’er looked at Feng Tianlan with an indecipherable expression written all over her face . But in the end, she simply smiled and said, “Although you say you are going to believe her, Princess Zhaoyang is still the most suspicious one . When a woman gets jealous, she can be more vicious than anyone else . ”

It was not that she wanted to jump to such conclusions about Princess Zhaoyang . But that was just human nature . There was no such thing as a forever friendship . The moment there was a conflict of interests and benefits, people would immediately turn their backs on one another .

There were too many such people . Too many by far .

This was why Xiao Lan’er would choose to believe even though it was obvious that she was perpetually on guard .

She had been hurt before, yet she could still choose to believe . Just how much courage did she really have?

Feng Tianlan raised her eyes to look at Mei’er and said, “Perhaps there’s a third possibility . ”

That psycho also knew her identity and knew that she was with Mobai, so the assassin that was trying to kill her was the Fengyun Alliance .

“The third possibility is the most optimistic . An enemy of the Demon King wants to make use of you to threaten the Demon King, so they sent an assassin to kill you . ” Mei’er lowered her head to look at Feng Tianlan, then reached out to pinch Feng Tianlan’s face and said, “Xiao Lan’er, trust is good, but not everyone can be trusted . ”

“Mei’er . ” Feng Tianlan brushed Mei’er’s hands away .

“Your older sister is deeply convinced of the first and third possibilities . Don’t entertain the possibility of the third thought . We still have a month to go before we arrive at Lin’an City . It will be good if you prepare yourself for it . ” Mei’er’s red lips curled into a gentle smile .

It was very, very cruel, but this was just what the truth turned out to be . A man’s fiancée was assassinated, and there were only these two possibilities .

The commander coughed and glared at Mei’er as he said, “Mei’er, don’t scare our crazy missy . ”

The others, on the contrary, did not say anything . They were more in agreement with what Mei’er said . Whatever she said was not pleasing to the ears, but at least there was some mental preparation and with lower expectations, they would be less hurt when the time came .

She was thinking of the many times Si Mobai had rescued her from danger, how often he had been always the first to appear before her when her life was in danger, and the way Mobai looked when he forcibly made her sign a contract with him to make a blood pact…

Thinking of these, Feng Tianlan lifted her gaze . There was a look of extreme trust on her face and smiling blissfully, she said, “No matter what, I firmly believe in Mobai . ”

No matter what she encountered, she just had to firmly believe that Mobai loved her and would protect her . He would never hurt her .

“Lan’er is really so silly . ” Mei’er looked at Feng Tianlan’s bright and happy smile, and for a moment, she did not know what to say .

It was also true that there were still too many naïve women in the world . Not everyone was like her, and had experienced such longing to eventually fall into deep despair before climbing up from the deep abyss of despair to, once again, face that exact same despair . After the experience on that cliff, there was fear; but she lingered on the edge of the cliff, neither daring to advance nor retreat . She simply carried such fear with her, together with all her doubts, as she struggled to keep herself together for survival .

She hoped that the Demon King was indeed worthy enough of Lan’er’s trust . Otherwise, even if she had to act beyond her depths, even if she had to die a cruel death by being smashed to pieces, she would still do whatever she could to hurt him, albeit just a little . She would let him know the pain!

Feng Tianlan looked up at Mei’er . At this moment, Mei’er was no longer behaving as flirtatiously as she had before . Instead, she wore an expression of indescribable sadness . Perhaps, she had once been hurt as well?
