Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 680: The Shangguan Family Decision <3>

The servants all broke in cold sweat when they heard what Shangguan Xiao said to Shangguan Yu.         

    

In the entire Shangguan Family, he might be the only one who was not afraid of irking others with his words. With his words and behavior, he could have long easily incited the anger of others. He was too perceptive.     

Many people felt uncomfortable when they were facing someone like Shangguan Xiao.     

Shangguan Yu looked at Shangguan Xiao coldly. "It's not your business."     

"It's indeed not my business." Shangguan Xiao chuckled lightly. "However, you're still my cousin. Isn't it fine to ask this much?"     

"Don't act as if you're concerned with me. I don't need your sympathy."     

"I'm not going to waste my words with you since you don't need it. All I want is to give you this." A token appeared on Shangguan Xiao's hand. He tossed it towards Shangguan Yu without any worry whether the young man would catch it or not.     

Tep!     

The token landed on Shangguan Yu's hand squarely. He had trained in martial arts long before he lost his ability to walk. Looking at the word written in the token, his eyes widened in disbelief.     

"Where did you get this?"     

"A certain someone give it to me." Shangguan Xiao walked towards the gate. He looked at Shangguan Yu and shrugged. "Whether you want to use it or not is not my business. Also, do remember that you still have cousins who are wandering at the battlefield."     

Shangguan Yu didn't answer and merely looked at the token in his hand. His emotion was in turmoil before he suppressed everything and answered in a cool voice, "Got it, Cousin Xiao."     

Shangguan Xiao didn't bother to reply as he entered his carriage, leaving the residence. From today, he wouldn't come to the Capital City anymore unless it was because of some urgent matter that really require him to be present.     

Behind him, Shangguan Yu looked at the token and took a deep breath.     

"Do it."     

Swish!     

He might have owed something to Shangguan Xiao, but it didn't mean that he would change his plan. He had already waited for this for so many years and it was impossible for him to change it just because of such thing.     

Shangguan Xiao must have known about it too.     

Shangguan Yu is a ruthless person, and he was not someone who would change his decision easily once he had decided on something.     

His eyes looked at the front as he could faintly see the images of children playing around. The scene was harmonious as they played tag without any of the adults bothering them. It was a peaceful and cheerful atmosphere.     

'If our mothers are not against each other, would things have been different?'     

Shangguan Yu closed his eyes.     

When he opened them once more, it had regained its tranquility. There was no point in lamenting the past anymore. Things that had happened couldn't change. The only thing he could change is the future.     

And in this future… he would be treading the path he had prepared alone.     

He looked at the sky. It seemed that it would be raining soon. Rain is good. It would erase all traces he wanted to erase.     

…         

    

    

An Yi didn't want to waste any more time and decided to just abandon everything that previously belonged to Shangguan Yi. He was not really Shangguan Yi and had no intention of living with this identity for the rest of his life.     

No matter how much Shangguan Yi was despised for his performance, he was still part of the prominent Shangguan Family. At the same time, he was still a noble and would have to participate in some annoying party.     

Shangguan Die's reputation had long been destroyed.     

If An Yi had kept Shangguan Yi's identity, it would be inevitable for her to return to the prominent noble family. At that time, who could guarantee that there wouldn't be anyone who didn't recognize her?     

It would only make things difficult.     

Thus, An Yi decided to abandon this identity right away and prepared a new one. An identity for both him and Shangguan Die so that the two of them could live in peace without their past bothering them.     

The noble family was nice.     

But it was filled with so much hidden danger that it exhausted them so much every single day.     

What he wanted was simply to be able to live a peaceful life with Shangguan Die, just like what he had long dreamed. For that, he had prepared everything and all he had to do was to pick her up.     

In Yi Shang Temple, An Yi found Shangguan Die right away. Shangguan Die was staying in her courtyard, painting with her servants staying not far from her. The atmosphere was peaceful and calm, totally unlike the explosive personality she used to have where everywhere she went there would be ruckus.     

"Ah Die."     

"Ah Yi?" Shangguan Die was stunned to see An Yi appearing there. She looked at the man in surprise.     

"Everything is done." An Yi looked at Shangguan Die and smiled, showing a brilliant smile.     

Shangguan Die was stumped for a moment before laughing faintly. She had already been suppressed so badly by Shangguan Mi that she decided to use everything to deal with that girl one last time in the past. At that time, she had wanted to make use of An Yi to finish what she had started.     

But she didn't expect that he would really do so.     

Slowly, she walked towards the man in front of her. Her eyes stared at An Yi deeply. "Are you not going to regret giving up Shangguan Yi's identity?"     

"Why should I regret it?" An Yi arched his eyebrows. He chuckled. The only reason why he agreed back then was solely for this woman in front of her. "Come on, it'll rain soon."     

"Okay."     

The servants looked at each other and sighed. The only servants left were those whom Shangguan Die could trust. Those planted by others had long been dealt with from time to time whenever Shangguan Die felt that her sharp tongue turned rusty.     

She didn't want to lose her only weapon after coming to the temple.     

The rain poured down heavily.     

Inside the carriage, Shangguan Die leaned her head on An Yi's shoulder. She had been wondering what kind of life would be waiting for her. But at this point, she felt that whatever life it is, it would be better than what she had experienced in Shangguan Family Residence.     

An Yi looked outside, his eyes turned cold when he saw the faint movement in the dark. It seemed that there were still people who didn't want to let them leave in peace.     

"Ah Die, it'll be a bit bumpy. You can close your eyes and ears if you don't want to listen to anything."         

    

"It's fine." Shangguan Die looked outside. She could guess who sent those people. "There are already a lot of people who want my life. It wouldn't make any difference whether I know it or not."     

"Alright."     

An Yi looked outside expressionlessly. "Giddy up!"     

From that day on, both Shangguan Die and 'Shangguan Yi' disappeared completely. No one had ever heard about them again as if the heavy rain had washed up even the faintest trace of their existences.
