Chapter 651 The Movement Within the Shadow

　　An Yi naturally would not care about what would happen to Shangguan Mi from now on. He had done what Shangguan Die asked him to do and only needed to wait for the right time to pay a visit to her.

　　"You\'re back." Shangguan Xiao glanced at An Yi. "Long Qian Xing had divorced Shangguan Mi. Do you know that he had sent a letter directly?\'

　　An Yi paused.

　　He looked at Shangguan Xiao and felt that the young man in front of him knew everything that he had done. But even if Shangguan Xiao knew, so what? He would never forgive Shangguan Mi for putting Shangguan Die in such miserable situation, so he would not care about the consequences of his action.

　　"I see."

　　Shangguan Xiao arched his eyebrows. He chuckled lightly. "Commander Shangguan is waiting for you."

　　"Okay."

　　While An Yi walked into the residence, Shangguan Xiao shook his head and sighed. He felt that it was really not his place to meddle. If not for Long Qian Xing sent that letter directly to him, he would not want to care about this matter in the slightest bit.

　　"With this, I guess I can reduce a tael from the feast I owe to Qian Xing," Shangguan Xiao muttered lightly.

　　The servant behind him was speechless but stayed silent. He felt that whatever these two young masters agreed on trading didn\'t seem to be of equal value, yet the two of them didn\'t seem to be dissatisfied in the slightest bit.

　　It was strange.

　　But he was nothing more than a manservant. Whatever the master wanted to do, he could only follow.

　　"Young Master," the servants greeted when he saw An Yi.

　　An Yi nodded.

　　"Master is waiting for you."

　　"I\'ll go inside."

　　The door opened and An Yi walked inside. He could see Commander Shangguan stood in the middle of the room, his back was facing An Yi. It was rare for Commander Shangguan to go back home because he spent most of his time at the battlefield. In fact, the only reason why he returned was because of that reward ceremony not long ago.

　　An Yi was hesitant before he called out, "Father."

　　Commander Shangguan didn\'t turn around and merely placed his hands on his back. "Yi, do you know what you\'re doing?"

　　"Yes, I know."

　　"You\'re not a child and what you\'re doing will affect others. Have you thought about this?" Commander Shangguan didn\'t turn around at all to look at An Yi.

　　An Yi took a deep breath. "Yes, I know. I have thought about it."

　　"Good. You\'re on your own now."

　　"Yes… Father."

　　"You may leave."

　　Taking a step back, An Yi cupped his fist and left through the door. He could guess that Commander Shangguan knew everything but chose not say anything because of some reasons. As for what reason those were, he didn\'t know.

　　An Yi walked out of the main hall and headed towards Shangguan Yi\'s quarter. Midway, he saw Shangguan Yu, who was staying under the tree with a bamboo scroll in front of him. It looked like he was studying hard despite his disability.

　　When Shangguan Yu saw An Yi, he put down the scroll. "You\'ve crossed the line."

　　"Is it affecting you?" An Yi asked back.

　　Shangguan Yu laughed coldly. "Have you ever thought what would happen to her mother when she found out the end of her daughter?"

　　"She\'ll probably turn crazy."

　　Hearing the light tone of An Yi, Shangguan Yu narrowed his eyes. "You\'ve changed a lot."

　　"Don\'t you also change?" An Yi looked at Shangguan Yu and thought for a moment. "I won\'t stop you to take what you want. What I want is simply to leave with her."

　　Shangguan Yu was silent. He didn\'t answer and An Yi also didn\'t wait for him because he continued to walk away. Looking at An Yi\'s departing back, Shangguan Yu thought about something and his eyes flashed in ruthlessness.

　　"I\'ll naturally take it. Even without you giving me the way."

　　An Yi snorted but didn\'t turn around.

　　The two went on their own way, disregarding each other\'s presence.

　　…

　　Long Qian Xing headed to the palace and noticed that the morning meeting was over. Song Chuan was already waiting for him not far from the main hall, at the location where it was rather empty.

　　"Young Master," Song Chuan greeted.

　　"If you call me like that when we\'re outside, there will be a lot of people who question you." Long Qian Xing smiled faintly. "How\'s the result of the meeting?"

　　"It\'s a successful one." Song Chuan was happy. "Majority had agreed with the idea. Also, there will be some investigation to Zhang Family in regards of Zhang Dan Shui\'s achievement. A lot of people will be watching this development."

　　Long Qian Xing was not surprised. He had heard about how Zhang Dan Shui didn\'t even want to return. And when he met his father in the palace, he treated the other party with polite and distant tone.

　　Even an idiot would know that there was something strange.

　　Some people were dissatisfied about his relationship with his family members because it was giving bad example. But if the investigation result showed how Zhang Family truly treated Zhang Dan Shui, things might change in the future.

　　The opinion would tide towards Zhang Dan Shui.

　　"Have you talked with him?"

　　"He\'s quite detached and didn\'t seem to be willing to put himself in any faction." Song Chuan smiled. "His action had caused His Majesty to have favorable impression of him. Heng Xing City might be even more important in the future and it\'s all in his hand."

　　Long Qian Xing nodded. "Assign someone to Heng Xing City soon. Even if he\'ll not be in important position, make sure that he can more or less affect the decision."

　　"Alright."

　　Song Chuan looked at Long Qian Xing curiously. "You seem to be in agreement towards his action?"
