Shangguan Lingxiu was dressed in martial attire as usual, a pure white cloak draped over her tall, slender frame. Accompanied by a few guards, she stood boldly in the middle of the street, her beautiful eyes watching Yun Yang who was turning over. Her expression was calm, as if she had expected it and was waiting quietly.
"Oh, Sister Lingxiu." Yun Yang was pleasantly surprised. "It's a small world indeed. We meet again."
Shangguan Lingxiu smiled faintly and said, "There's no surprise here. I've been waiting here for you, Crown Prince Yun."
The corners of Yun Yang's lips twitched subconsciously as he said faintly, "May I ask what instructions Sister Lingxiu has for me? Just say it to my face. Yun Yang will always be Yun Yang. How can I have so many other identities?"
Shangguan Lingxiu, who already knew his true identity, could not help but feel like laughing when she saw the resentful look on the young man's face and yet he still wanted to reply to her with a double meaning.
"I dare not say that I have any instructions. I really only want to speak to you and ask you a few things."
"Sister Lingxiu, please speak. This young brother will tell you everything he knows."
"Hmm." Shangguan Lingxiu turned and walked away. "Walk with me. We'll talk as we walk."
Yun Yang followed her with a pounding heart.
What does this madam want with me? Why did he take it so seriously?!
Yun Yang was not an idiot. At most, his EQ was a little low at times. In the past, he had shouldered the deep grudge of the Nine Supremes. Even if he had realized it, as long as he cast it all aside, how could he be completely unmoved when he had nothing to do and the thoughts of a beautiful woman were deep in love?
Both Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu felt the same way. Yun Yang was not a fool, how could he not feel it?
It was just that Yun Yang had mixed feelings about Shangguan Lingxiu.
This woman was strong, brave, determined, and resilient. She did not lack any of the qualities that most men in this world did not possess!
In addition, she was beautiful, intelligent, and virtuous. She was willing to work without complaint, willing to contribute, and dared to sacrifice.
She had always known what she needed and what she desired. Yet, under the heavy responsibility that she had given herself, she would rather give it up and not fight for it.
Because she knew that with the current situation of the Shangguan family, she didn't have the qualifications to pursue the so-called happiness.
Her own happiness, whether it was for herself or for the person she loved, was just a heavy burden!
Therefore, she chose to endure it.
Shangguan Lingxiu had been taking a step back in the face of her rival in love. Step by step, she had backed away from the great love that she could have used as an opportunity to develop, even when she had many convenient conditions, many connections, and elders who were happy to see her …
Furthermore, Yun Yang had other feelings towards Shangguan Lingxiu as well, such as pity, respect, and cherishing …
She was such a beautiful woman, but because of others and herself, she was shackled with so many heavy shackles.
How unfortunate!
"Sister Lan, you still haven't found it?" Shangguan Lingxiu asked softly as she walked slowly.
"No." Yun Yang heaved a long sigh.
"No news is good news …" Shangguan Lingxiu fell silent before she could finish her sentence.
Shangguan Lingxiu had mixed feelings about Yue Rulan as well.
On one hand, the intelligent Yue Rulan was the best choice to be a best friend, be it in terms of knowledge, conversation, or any other aspect.
On the other hand, Yue Rulan was unscrupulous in matchmaking for Ji Lingxi and had forced Shangguan Lingxiu to concede step by step in all aspects. Shangguan Lingxiu felt uncomfortable.
It was one thing to concede willingly, but no one would feel comfortable being forced to do so. If one did not feel anything, one would either not feel anything for the person involved or one would be a fool!
Shangguan Lingxiu was not a fool, she would not be oblivious to Yun Yang. Of course, she would feel uncomfortable about Yue Rulan's actions!
In spite of this, it was understandable that Yue Rulan was planning for Ji Lingxi. There was nothing that could be done about the difference between closeness and distance. Both parties had different standpoints and it was difficult to reconcile, but the three girls had fought the enemy side by side during the battle at the Fortress of Resilience. The friendship that was built on the battlefield was the strongest. It was normal for them to appreciate each other and feel pity for each other. Therefore, it was inevitable that they would fight and scheme against each other at certain times, but most of the time, especially when Yun Yang was not around, they were still unusually harmonious, like sisters.
At the end of the day, Yue Rulan was Ji Lingxi's sister-in-law to be, well, she was already Ji Lingxi's official sister-in-law. If she did not plan for her own sister-in-law, was she supposed to fight for Shangguan Lingxiu? That would be absurd.
If he still insisted on being jealous over this, it would be inconsiderate of him to get tangled up in this matter.
Now that Yue Rulan had suddenly disappeared, Shangguan Lingxiu's first feeling was not relief but deep sorrow and pain.
At once, Shangguan Lingxiu had mobilized all the resources she had at hand to search for her best friend. The search had yet to end and was still ongoing.
Shangguan Lingxiu could not help but feel a pang in her heart when she heard that Yun Yang had not found him yet.
"Sister Lan is such a good person, how could she … sigh." Shangguan Lingxiu sighed and said, "I wonder when this chaotic world will truly end."
Yun Yang was silent for a moment before he said, "It's about to end. Soon."
His voice was filled with a longing for life after the war.
"How are my little nephews doing in your residence?" Shangguan Lingxiu changed the topic immediately. ,
"Not bad, not bad at all." Yun Yang was not stingy with his compliments. "Putting aside the fact that these fellows have extraordinary aptitudes, they all have a determined heart. This is exceptionally commendable, not to mention the militaristic demeanor that has been ingrained into their bones. It is constantly on display. Sigh … Instead of saying that they're here to study in the Residence of Yun, it's more like they're doing my father a great favor. When Bao 'er, at his young age, sees a group of children who are not much older than him and are so outstanding, he'll naturally want to emulate them and chase after them. "
"This is very beneficial to Bao 'er's growth."
Yun Yang looked at Shangguan Lingxiu and said, "I'm not exaggerating. Your six nephews, be it mystical skill cultivation or the progress of their knowledge, have improved tremendously. Their learning attitudes are upright as well. The teachers who teach them are all full of praises for these seven children. They're exceptionally worry-free."
The word 'worry-free' was a great compliment to the children!
Shangguan Lingxiu smiled from the bottom of her heart and said in relief, "That's great, that's great. I only hope that they won't tarnish the Shangguan Family of Generals' reputation when they grow up. "
Yun Yang said seriously, "I can answer this question in advance now. They'll definitely push the Shangguan Family of Generals' reputation to another level! I'm very certain that these children can surpass your Shangguan Family of Generals' ancestors. They can do it. "
Shangguan Lingxiu nodded, her face flushed with excitement. There was no doubt in her mind because Yun Yang was still Supreme Cloud, the Nine Supremes' think-tank. His words would not be an exaggeration, nor would he speak without thinking. There must be a reason behind what he said!
