Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

"This reason has something to do with Zhang Liang, right?"

Hearing Said's very affirmative tone, Lin Na felt as if she was electrocuted and her body trembled slightly.

She looked up in surprise, a bead of sweat running down her cheek.

Lin Na would not betray Zhang Liang, nor did she want to go against her duties as one of the Ten Heroes.

If she had to choose one, Lin Na would choose Zhang Liang without hesitation.

Reputation and status are worthless to Lin Na.

This is also the main purpose of Lin Nalai's resignation.

In order not to cause trouble to Zhang Liang, she originally planned to resign from her position as one of the Ten Heroes on the grounds that she had become weaker.

She didn't expect that Sayid would directly guess the reason behind this hidden thing.

(Is it too early?)

Lin Na thought that maybe it was because Sede had negotiated with Ouyang Shuo before, which made Sede think of Zhang Liang for no reason.

"That, that..."

Just as Lina was organizing her words to defend herself, Said spoke first:

"In your opinion, is your choice beneficial or detrimental to the empire?"

"······" After a long silence, Lin Na answered affirmatively: "Beneficial."

Lina's answer made Seide smile, he was very satisfied.

What the empire needs is talent that can think independently and care about the country.

He does not seek fame or profit, and for the prosperity of the country, he is even willing to give up the position of one of the top ten heroes that everyone desires but cannot obtain.

If Lin Na resigned for Zhang Liang, then her next move is easy to predict.

In fact, if Lin Na did not resign and went directly to implement Zhang Liang's plan, Sede would not blame her.

Lin Na is one of the new top ten.

Sede knew that his understanding of himself was still at the stage of hearsay.

Facing a tyrant, it is wise to choose the brave Zhang Liang.

Even though she had a very bad impression of him, she still chose to report to him, which was beyond Seth's expectations.

Her behavior also indirectly proves her sincerity.

As the saying goes, once a person is in power, he will not rebel.

Such a person could never be a traitor.

Faced with such a loyal minister, Seide had previously suspected that she had embezzled the materials of the Black Rock Dragon. Now he thinks that she is indeed a bit petty.

"You stand up." Said pointed to the chair opposite and continued: "Sit down first, I want to talk to you about something."

"About resignation..."

"It won't be too late for you to make a decision after I finish talking to you."

After hearing what Sede said, Lin Na was a little confused, but it was not easy to refuse Sede.

She stood up, pulled out a stool, and slowly sat down opposite Said.

Lin Na could guess that this conversation might last a long time.

Lin Na, who seldom communicates with others, seemed a little nervous.

More importantly, the person being communicated with this time was still Seth.

Afraid that she might say something wrong and affect Zhang Liang, Lin Na was very nervous and her nerves were on edge.

(Shouldn’t have come...)

······

At the same time, on the other side.

Li Suchang and Bai Qiyuan were walking on the corridor of the palace.

"Tsk, the problem now is very serious."

Seeing Li Suchang biting her fingernails and frowning, Bai Qiyuan asked in confusion:

"What's serious?"

"Are you so slow? Zhang Liang is much better than expected. There must be many women who are attracted to him! In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before he can't resist the temptation and becomes a philanderer."

After hearing what Li Suchang said, Bai Qiyuan thought about it and replied:

"It's indeed a bit troublesome. With Xiaodie's temper, they will definitely fight." Bai Qiyuan was sure.

Zhang Liang and Bai Dieshang are both very powerful. If they were to fight, I’m afraid half of the capital would be in flames.

Before they even got married, Li Suchang and Bai Qiyuan had already seen the divorce scene.

"Although I don't know what Kang Luona means, Princess Changbai is a big threat."

"I think so too. Although the collar on her neck is different from Xiaodie's, the gloss and texture are similar. It is probably made of Oja steel."

"Tsk."

Because of this incident, Li Suchang felt more and more headache the more she thought about it.

"We must quickly resolve the issues at hand and not allow any more competitors to increase!"

Hearing Li Suchang's words, Bai Qiyuan also nodded.

After a while, they arrived at Seth's office.

"Bang, bang." There was knock on the door.

"Come in."

Hearing Sede's voice, Li Suchang and Bai Qiyuan pushed the door open.

Before they could even take a step, they saw a familiar figure.

The girl with purple hair, Lin Na.

"Forest···"

Li Suchang subconsciously called out Lin Na's name, however, before she had called out half of the name, Lin Na turned around and looked at the two of them.

This movement of turning back caused Lin Na's long hair to fall from her shoulders, slightly revealing the collar on her neck.

Seeing the collar on Lin Na's neck, Li Sushang widened her eyes in shock, raised her voice, and shouted another word in surprise: "Na!?"

Bai Qiyuan, on the side, said "Oh wow".

## Chapter 2: The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh (1 in 5-k)

When Li Suchang saw Lin Na wearing a collar, she first thought of Zhang Liang and asked if the collar was put on by Zhang Liang.

Hearing the question raised by Li Suchang, Lin Na, who rarely showed any expression, showed a look of surprise.

Many questions intertwined together, making her mind a little confused.

Finally, she had to ask cautiously:

"Aunt Li, do you know Zhang Liang?"

Lin Na's tone was very cautious. Li Suchang could see the thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She was obviously very nervous.

Li Suchang could guess what she was worried about.

Li Suchang did not directly answer Lin Na's question, but looked at Seide, as if asking if she could tell Lin Na about the meeting.

And since Seide had originally intended to tell Lina about that, he naturally did not refuse.

He just stretched out his hand, pointed to the seat opposite, and said:

"Let's sit down and talk."

After the three of them sat down, Li Suchang briefly explained what happened with Bai Dieshang and the meeting.

After hearing Li Suchang's description, Lin Na showed a surprised expression again.

"Aunt Li, is everything you said true!?"

Lin Na didn't expect Bai Dieshang to run into them, and she didn't expect that Sede had no intention of starting a war.

The main purpose of inviting Zhang Liang several times was to end the matter peacefully.

After a brief contact, Lina discovered that Seide's behavior was completely different from before, as if he had become a different person.

"I can guarantee it's true."

"That's great."

After getting Bai Qiyuan's assurance, although Lin Na seemed unbelievable, she did not have any doubts.

Lin Na's tone relaxed a lot, and even her stiff shoulders dropped slightly.

The guarantee of Bai Qiyuan has this kind of weight.

At this moment, Sayid looked at Lina and said, "Regarding resigning from the position of the top ten, do you still insist on it?"

After hearing what Seide said, before Lin Na could react, Li Suchang and Bai Qiyuan were startled and looked at Lin Na.

Although they felt it was a pity to resign from the position of the top ten, they would still respect Lin Na's choice.

After all, this child is very worry-free. He can weigh the pros and cons of everything on his own and never causes any trouble to others.

"I···"

Before Lina could finish her words, Seth asked her another question.

"Remember the oath you swore to me when you became one of the Ten?"

"Remember."

Lin Na nodded and repeated: "Serve the country wholeheartedly, fulfill your duties, and never be lazy or rebellious."

"You said before that you could no longer perform the duties of the Ten. Which one did you mean?"

"I···"

Lina thought for a moment and answered uncertainly: "Your Majesty..."

However, as soon as she opened her mouth to say this, Lin Na was surprised to find that His Majesty was not included in her oath at all, and her loyalty was to the empire as a whole.

The object of loyalty is Your Majesty personally, which seems to be my own arbitrary assumption.

Seeing Lina's expression as if she understood something, Seide did not say anything and decisively rejected it:

"I don't agree with your resignation."

"······"

Lin Na was silent for a moment. Although Seide didn't say it explicitly, Lin Na knew it in her heart.

From the very beginning, His Majesty asked me to be loyal not to him personally, but to the entire empire.

"I understand." Lina looked at Said and continued in a firm tone: "I will continue to fulfill my duties as one of the Ten!"

"very good!"

Hearing Lina's answer, the corners of Sede's mouth rose unconsciously.

In Sede's plan, he would sooner or later pass the throne to Fan Bin, who would become a hero, and all this was a preparation for this.

Something went wrong in the middle.

but···

Lin Na is a rare talent, so he naturally won't give up on her.

After this incident, Sede believed that basic trust had been established between him and Lin Na.

Maybe it's time to ask some sensitive questions.

When it comes to war, we have to look further ahead, and Seth wants to predict the next few steps.

"Linna, let me ask you a question."

Hearing Seide's tone become serious, Linna sat up straight and responded seriously: "Excuse me."
