Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 679: The Shangguan Family Decision <2>

If someone wanted to harm the person he loved, he would surely retaliate fiercely. He would make sure that the person would paid the price for touching the person who they should have never been touched in their entire life.     

As he walked out, An Yi saw Shangguan Xiao walked with a bamboo scroll in his hand. The calm and carefree expression on Shangguan Xiao’s face cause An Yi to feel wary.     

“Have you finished with everything?” Shangguan Xiao asked when he saw An Yi walking.     

“I have earned the permission and will leave today.”     

“Today?” Shangguan Xiao revealed a thoughtful expression and nodded. “Since that’s your decision, I won’t stop you. Anyway, I’m here to tell you and your entire family that me and my brother are going to leave the Capital City.”     

“You’re going to leave?”     

An Yi was stunned. No matter how many times the Shangguan Family spent their time outside, their base has always been the Capital City. They would surely return to the Capital City from time to time because most of their family members were here.     

But if he thought about it, Shangguan Xiao and Shangguan Xian didn’t really have anything that could shackle them to the Capital City aside from their mother. If they wanted to leave, did it mean that they would bring their mother away?     

Shangguan Xiao noticed An Yi’s thoughts and chuckled. “Right, we’re going to move our mother away from the Capital City. Unless it’s the Emperor’s Summon, we’re not going to go back. However, I’m not entirely sure about the decision of other family members.”     

After all, Shangguan Family didn’t only consist of them.     

There were many others. Several of them didn’t enter military and chose to expand in a completely different route. They had business and store in the Capital City. Should they leave the Capital City, they would have to start everything from scratch again.     

It was not a problem for these two Shangguan brothers, but the others wouldn’t be able to do the same.     

Thus, this would also mean that the Shangguan Family had completely split up. One would still stay in the Capital City to focus on business or even politics. But some others would be staying in another city and focused to become a prominent general.     

“I see.”     

Shangguan Xiao waved his hand. “I’ll see you around, Yi.”     

An Yi nodded and walked to the gate. His face darkened slightly when he saw Shangguan Yu was there, sitting on his wheelchair and looked in his direction. It seemed that no matter what he did, he would always meet this annoying man.     

“So you’re finally leaving, Second Brother,” Shangguan Yu remarked in a low voice. His eyes were looking at An Yi with coldness and indifference.     

An Yi smiled, there was no warmth within his eyes. “You seem to have been waiting for this day.”     

Shangguan Yu snorted. “Do you really think such immoral relationship would work?”     

At that sentence, An Yi paused. In the eyes of others, they were brother and sisters. But in truth, he was only taking the identity of Shangguan Yi in order to be able to stay close to Shangguan Die and protected her. He was not her blood related brother and naturally had no relationship with the Shangguan Family at all.     

However, it was not a fact that he wanted to let others knew.     

He looked at Shangguan Yu meaningfully. It was unknown whether Shangguan Yu actually knew about this matter or not as An Yi had no intention of clarifying.     

“What I do is not your business. I have already emptied the place for you to play.” An Yi spread his hand. He smiled. “Do you think Father will care about your little thoughts by now?”     

Commander Shangguan would return to the battlefield soon, leaving this messy household. No matter what Shangguan Yu was actually planning to do, he would be free to do so with the entire household in his hand.     

Shangguan Yu’s eyes were cold. He really couldn’t understand how could someone be so daring so as to abandon everything just in order to be with a woman. Was it worth it to trade everything for that kind of woman?         

However, he would not care about what his half brother decision was.     

“I have told you. I don’t need you to make the way for me.”     

“I’m only telling you the truth.”     

An Yi didn’t bother to speak with Shangguan Yu as he continued to stride towards the carriage. Shangguan Die’s mother had long left Shangguan Family Residence because he sent her away to the nearby temple. If he hadn’t done so, she would have long died in this miserable residence.     

There was no way he would want to see Shangguan Die sad to see her mother died because of that woman’s scheme.     

Shangguan Yu watched as ‘Shangguan Yi’ left and snorted. His hand rested on top of his broken legs as he clenched his fingers tightly. “I never asked you to give way to me. And do you think this grudge will be over with you leaving just like that?”     

His expression was cold and chilling as if the entire world had frozen.     

The servants around him didn’t dare to move. They acted as if they were not seeing their young master had a temper but rather seeing a wall.     

It took a while for his expression to turn normal.     

“Oh, you’re still here, Yu.”     

Shangguan Yu turned his head and saw Shangguan Xiao walked out. It seemed that Shangguan Xiao had finished telling Commander Shangguan about his and his brother’s decision to leave the Capital City.     

“Cousin Xiao. Are you going to leave?” Shangguan Yu asked in a neutral tone.     

“Yep. I have already delayed long enough to settle some matters.” Shangguan Xiao shrugged his shoulder as if it was a normal thing to do. He looked at Shangguan Yu for a moment before smirking. “You sure have a high ambition. Are you sure you won’t regret your decision in the future?”
