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.

The noble family was nice. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
