Chapter 842: The Changes in the Capital City of Fei Yang KingdomShangguan Yu remained on the ground until Old Master Nan had left.
"Young Master."
"I'm fine." Shangguan Yu refused to be helped as he propped himself onto the wheelchair. He had long known that Old Master Nan would definitely target the Tu Family when he entered the court. Their power was diminishing and there were a lot of people from Nan Family who was taking over.
They were all slowly but surely forming the circle in the court.
He couldn't enter any of the circle and chose to remain neutral. Naturally, he would not form another circle unless he was ready to face those people whom the Nan Family and Long Family had gathered. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
Those two big families were really....
"How is she?" Shangguan Yu asked, his voice was now bone chilling cold.
The steward cupped his fist. "Her Highness throws tantrum, but we have taken everything away."
"Good. Kill those servants and sent them to Nan Family to show our sincerity. All items will be loaded into carriage and send to them."
"Yes, Young Master."
What the Nan Family did might seem a bit over the line, but Shangguan Yu didn't mind playing in their game. He was not paying with his money either since these were all those that belong to Princess Hu.
In fact, this was advantageous to him.
He had been wondering what he should do with the force under Princess Hu because those people were hard to control. Not to mention, they didn't really want to listen to the words of a cripple like him.
And if other people found out, he would be put into danger.
Now that it was taken away, he could finally let it go.
At the same time, with the people around Princess Hu away and her assets were stripped, Shangguan Yu could finally control that woman better. He had been waiting for the time where she would fall into despair so that he would be able to tame her.
Now, it seemed, the time was cut shorter because of Nan Family moves.
If one asked whether he planned this, he would definitely say no.
He merely went with the flow and acted in the way that benefited him the most. In any case, he's still part of the Imperial Family because of Princess Hu's presence. Until he reached a position where no one would be able to go against him, he would not allow her to die.
...
Slash! Slash!
Among the few officials who were against the Nan Family, two of them came from Wen Family. Long Qian Xing had long wanted to destroy the main family since they were filled with corrupt people.
Unfortunately, there hadn't been a chance.
Now, the chance was here.
He watched from the side as the group of people were killed in front of him coldly. There was not even a change in his expression when the soldier brought out his older sister, who looked so haggard and thin.
And now that the Wen Family was going down, would Long Qian Xing even let her off?
Long Xu Nian highly doubted it.
"Mmphhhh!"
Muffled sound came from her because of the cloth covering her mouth.
Long Qian Xing looked at his older sister. There was no emotion within his dark eyes. "I have already give you the gift back then, but it seems that it's not enough."
Gift?
The word caused Long Xu Nian's heart to tremble. She knew that whatever gift Long Qian Xing, it would be anything but good news for her.
And that gift from back then was the destruction of her own force. What kind of gift would Long Qian Xing give to her this time?
Long Xu Nian didn't know.
But she's afraid.
Long Qian Xing had destroyed the people under her.
And the time it took for Long Qian Xing to find them all and completely obliterate every single person in the force she gathered was less than a day.
Would those people be caught?
"The spies from Zhang Xu Kingdom who decided to work together with you have been captured. Not a single one of them managed to run away." Long Qian Xing smiled, yet his eyes grew even colder and harsher. "All thanks to you contacting them."
Long Xu Nian's eyes widened.
Looking at her younger brother, she finally realized why Long Qian Xing hadn't killed her back then even though she had crossed his bottom line. He's using her. He wanted to use her to bait those people to come out.
At this realization, Long Xu Nian felt her mind crumbled. She felt that whatever she had been working all these years had been for naught. Long Qian Xing could deal with it so easily and even knew that she had people who had been supporting her in the dark.
How did he do that?
Looking at Long Qian Xing, Long Xu Nian felt that the younger brother she thought she knew had become unfamiliar in front of her. He was no longer the young boy whom she could bully at her will just because she hated him.
She hated Long Qian Xing.
She hated her brother so much!
Wow, she hated him even more than she had ever been.
Why is everyone loved her brother but not her?
She's clearly more talented than him!
But the little boy whom she could bully at will back then had completely changed. She was the one who ended up as a failure again and again.
Why?
Why can't she be the one to win?
