Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower - Chapter 2526

Chapter 2526 Shangguan Xiao’s Visit (2)

"Do you want someone who could help you in your position or someone whom you like?" Long Qian Xing asked after he heard Shangguan Xiao's words.

"The second one." Shangguan Xiao shrugged and then sat down carelessly. He used to be the gentleman and also someone who followed the etiquette. But years of fighting on the frontline made him not care about it too much.

Who would care about their posture when they were about to die?

The most important thing was to save their lives.

And afterwards, they would be too tired to care about these things.

Of course, Shangguan Xiao would still keep his appearance in front of outsiders because he was still part of a noble families. But in front of his close friends and so on, he didn't bother. He was too lazy to pay attention to his image all the time. "It's not going to be easy," Long Qian Xing said.

"You can find one, why can't I?" Shangguan Xiao replied carelessly. "Besides, if I just want a woman who can consolidate my position, I would have long picked one. But I doubt that I can get along well with her."

Long Qian Xing nodded in understanding.

Without any emotional basis, the household would be really cold and full of hypocrisy. Thinking about it, Long Qian Xing understood why Shangguan Xiao didn't want to get married so early.

But it was quite rare to see a person like Shangguan Xiao in this era. Oh, he had seen Song Chuan, who was quite similar to Shangguan Xiao and also didn't want to marry someone from higher position. After all, for Song Chuan, it was actually much more beneficial for him to find a woman from higher ranked family. But he didn't do it. "How was your older brother?" Long Qian Xing changed the conversation.

"He's doing well. In fact, I think he's doing too well. He even had enough time to come and sent me a letter to inquire about my marriage," Shangguan Xiao replied bitterly. He thought that the incident at that time would hit his brother hard and made his brother couldn't do many things. Knowing the cause and effect of that incident, Shangguan Xiao also didn't want to trouble his older brother.

Who would have thought that it only need a few years for his older brother to come and trouble him.

This made Shangguan Xiao speechless.

He really wanted to drag his older brother to Cheng City and let that annoying man be the one in charge of the Shangguan Family instead of him.

"It means that he cares for you," Long Qian Xing said.

Shangguan Xiao rolled his eyes. He didn't need this kind of cares!

It would be better for his older brother not to take care of himself and just live his own life. Anyway, Shangguan Xiao was having a good life on the frontline.

"Is there anything else?" Shangguan Xiao asked as he looked at Long Qian Xing. He didn't believe that Long Qian Xing only came here for the sake of asking these stupid questions. If it was the case, he could ask at other times.

It was not like they wouldn't meet again in the future.

"I want to know a bit about your family's moves lately," Long Qian Xing said slowly. "The Shangguan Family wants to gain foothold in Cheng City again."

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiao's eyes narrowed. He looked at Long Qian Xing and smiled faintly. "It seems that you have known about them?"

"They're not exactly low profile and everything is said to be under your order," Long Qian Xing replied.

And for them to dare to use Shangguan Xiao's name so blatantly, it was obvious that Shangguan Xiao should have really given them the permission to use his name and develop Shangguan Family's business in Cheng City.

So far, the Shangguan Family was slowly expanding their businesses.

While they didn't enter the court yet, but Long Qian Xing knew that they only needed to wait a few more years to cultivate enough talents.

Or if they wanted to develop in military, they could send more of the younger generation to follow Shangguan Xiao to the frontline. No matter which one their decision is, the situation of Shangguan Family would improve sooner or later. "Right." Shangguan Xiao nodded and then said, "I won't step on your path, so you don't have to worry."

"I'm not worried."

"And I don't have the interest to challenge the other families in Cheng City, but I have to take back what belonged to the Shangguan Family in the past," Shangguan Xiao replied lazily.

He didn't like to be involved in these political matters.

But after he took over the position as the Shangguan Family's head, Shangguan Xiao knew very well that these responsibilities had to fall on his head. Otherwise, no one would be able to lead Shangguan Family's rise again.

It was truly ironic how glorious the Shangguan Family was two decades ago and how miserable they were in a short few years.

Their military merits had accumulated for a long time but in the end, it could not prevent their downfall when the few important figures in the Shangguan Family fell one by one. No matter what Shangguan Xiao was thinking in his mind, he knew very well that he had to stand up and brought Shangguan Family back up.

Otherwise, there was simply no hope for him.

The current situation of the Shangguan Family was actually not that bad.

After all, Shangguan Xiao was still active on the frontline and the few big wars had allowed him to earn a lot of money and land as reward. But now that Fei Yang Kingdom had unified the land, it was time for other aspects to rise.

Shangguan Xiao knew this.

So he had started to make his preparation and controlled the Shangguan Family's business in Cheng City.

"I see."

"You seem to be very calm, Qian Xing." Shangguan Xiao looked at his old friend.
