Chapter 1427: Chapter 84: Yan Nan’s Godlike Move (2-in-1) (Part 2)
The same operation, he can do it.
He even has the confidence to do it better than Yan Beihan.
Because he is a man. Men naturally have an advantage in this competition for leadership!
If a man and a woman are equally talented and equally charismatic leaders, most people will side with the man after weighing the options.
This is an unchanging truth since ancient times.
The issue of gender determines the woman’s disadvantage, which cannot be changed.
Just from the perspective of mate selection: No matter how excellent a woman is, according to social norms, she often ends up choosing one partner. What about the others? What happens to those who also admire and have a secret crush on her?
How will the collective combat power fare under envy, jealousy, and resentment?
Take Yan Beihan as an example: with her wisdom, beauty, schemes, and means, her charm is extraordinary. Naturally, she is a leader. Yet, because her status and seniority are too high, many dare not take action. But among her followers, how many secretly admire and have a crush on her?
Not many would admit it, but definitely a lot.
As for men, in such a social context, they can have multiple wives; and once they reach a certain level of power, whether it’s this one’s daughter or that one’s sister...right? We all become imperial family or relatives of the state? We fight for our family business from now on...
Just discussing this aspect alone, male-led regimes tend to be more stable than female-led ones—not out of discrimination, but...that’s just the truth.
But this logic doesn’t apply to Chen Yin.
Because his status doesn’t match.
He is not the eldest legitimate son!
As long as Chen Yun is around, he will never have his turn.
So even if he has great skills, he can only be firmly placed among the spectators in occasions like this, watching Yan Beihan rise to power.
Yan Beihan smiled and looked at Feng Xing and Chen Yun, and said, "But you two are exceptions. Although you haven’t investigated, your identity and status are here, and Fang Che doesn’t qualify for you two to take notice. Besides, your family background and status destined your opportunities are not just this once."
"So... there is great potential for the future. No need to have a dark face, haha, as a leader, don’t feel anxious about being somewhat imperfect. Also, I will help you in the future. And everyone will help, am I right?"
Yan Beihan said with a gentle smile.
In the crowd, Chen Yin’s pupils contracted.
He couldn’t help but raise his head, looking at Yan Beihan comforting Feng Xing and Chen Yun.
This operation was unexpected by Chen Yin, and if it were him, he wouldn’t have done it this way; even if he did, it would certainly have offended people.
But when Yan Beihan spoke, it didn’t offend anyone.
Just by seeing the instant relaxation of Feng Xing and Chen Yun, it was clear they were even grateful. Although these words had a suppressive tone, most of the meaning was one of recognition.
But Chen Yin only felt a sense of sinking.
Yan Beihan’s words practically announced to everyone: Feng Xing and Chen Yun failed to investigate, and their abilities are average.
It was like stepping on their shoulders, making her own status rise significantly.
Moreover, the ensuing consolation made everyone realize that these two even needed Yan Beihan’s help.
And while comforting these two, she allowed those following them to witness Yan Beihan’s capabilities and generosity... Laying a groundwork for future takeover.
The most perfect part is, she wasn’t taking over now; She just needed to establish the groundwork now.
There will be countless future events giving her reason to participate, making this groundwork more apparent each time.
So, when a certain stage is reached, and she makes a grand call, Feng Xing and Chen Yun will discover that people around them have already sided with Yan Beihan.
Even they themselves get taken over—because those people still call them the leader!
And the most impressive part is... During this process, they rely on Yan Beihan to maintain standing, so even reminders become useless!
If you remind them... Aren’t you ruining our alliance?
Especially if someone like Chen Yin reminds... Haha, the family’s third child, what are you trying to do?
Chen Yin took a deep breath.
Quietly withdrew from the crowd.
A sense of powerlessness and solitude rose within him.
No matter how he thought, he couldn’t understand how merely entering the Yin Yang Realm resulted in Yan Beihan changing so much?
Became so formidable?
Where did that straightforward, carefree, seemingly innocent little girl go?
What did you experience in the Yin Yang Realm?
"Since everyone’s gathered today, shall we go have a drink together?"
Yan Beihan invited.
The thirteen who had passed the assessment eagerly agreed.
Others chimed in.
Yan Beihan inviting, such an occurrence was rare.
"I’ll immediately inform Yun Yan, let her bring the Lady Army too, everyone can have a great time."
Yan Beihan smiled with curved eyes, speaking to Feng Xing and Chen Yun: "You two, as everyone’s big brothers, need to look after these little guys, don’t harass my sisters. If you get beaten up, don’t come crying to me!"
Feng Xing and Chen Yun’s eyes lit up, patting their chests: "Of course, you just watch. Count on us."
Saying this, they exchanged a hostile glance.
Clearly, they saw each other as competitors.
Chen Yin was utterly speechless.
