Turning his head, Long Qian Xing saw Shangguan Xiao staring at them as if seeing a ghost.
"Shangguan Xiao, you're going to fit an egg in your mouth."
"…Don't insult me." Shangguan Xiao glared at Long Qian Xing. Because of this man's disappearance the night before, he had lost sleep and be forced to fight for the entire night. "How did you manage to kill Heavenly General Zhang? I originally plan to kill him myself because of what he did."
Long Qian Xing felt that the poison Nan Hua gave to him was too effective. Even though Heavenly General Zhang was thrown to the river, the poison had already entered his system and caused his body to turn numb.
With such advantage, Long Qian Xing kept on attacking Heavenly General Zhang until he finally managed to kill the other party. But it was not like he didn't pay any price as his entire body was riddled with wounds.
Thankfully, he was found by a village girl who helped to bandage his wound.
"Did you meet a doctor?"
"Yeah, I meet a doctor in a village at Shi Long Kingdom's area. The border is empty too, so probably the villagers thought that it's fine to walk around the area." Long Qian Xing's tone sounded helpless when he recalled that young girl.
She was walking around in warzone area without realizing that someone like her was so vulnerable. Though, since she saved him, Long Qian Xing was really not in the position to criticize her so badly. He did remind her to stay in the village since it was safer, though.
At the same time, Long Qian Xing recalled that badge that the young girl showed to him.
Shangguan Xiao studied Long Qian Xing's expression and narrowed his eyes. "The doctor is a girl?"
"No, but I can guess based on your reaction." Shangguan Xiao grinned. "It seems that the so called honest Young Commander Long can be interested in another girl too. I thought that you once said that you only have interest in your fiancée."
"I never said that I'm interested in that village girl." Long Qian Xing was speechless. He had only seen her once and then got attracted to her?
Come on, this was not a novel, alright?
"But you sound caring."
"…I'm thinking that she's stupid." Long Qian Xing shook his head and let Shangguan Xiao thought anything he wanted. In any case, he didn't have any plan to see that young girl again if it was unnecessary. He had already left her with a pouch of money to pay for her service.
He walked towards his men and checked their injury and also their number. Long Qian Xing was glad that most of his men were fine because he was worried that they would be having difficult time without him leading them before.
After he had asked them to cross the river back, Long Qian Xing met with Shangguan Yi.
"Young Commander Long," Shangguan Yi greeted with furrowed eyebrows.
Long Qian Xing glanced at Shangguan Yi and arched his eyebrows. "An Yi, when did you plan to settle that woman your lover bring to my place?"
Shangguan Yi, no, An Yi's face paled when he heard what Long Qian Xing said. Thankfully, there were no one else around them since everyone was so busy cleaning up the mess after this incident. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Long Qian Xing.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"When I come back, I'll kick her out. If you plan to do something, you might want to think about it." Long Qian Xing sneered then walked away.
Shangguan Yi, who was actually An Yi, stared at Long Qian Xing's back with deep crease on his forehead. He was sure that he never had any interaction with Long Qian Xing whatsoever before. However, for Long Qian Xing to know his name, there must be someone else who told him about his name.
An Yi turned his head and looked in the direction where Shangguan Xiao was located and felt that everything clicked. Shangguan Xiao was a bit of an oddball in the Shangguan Family. While everyone was mostly focusing on their strength and their muscle mass, Shangguan Xiao was the one who pursued tactics and mind.
In fact, some of them once suspected that he was not from Shangguan Family.
But the problem was the fact that he looked very similar to his brother and father. There was no way it would be easy to find someone who was so similar to them from childhood until adulthood.
'Shangguan Xiao knows?'
An Yi furrowed his eyebrows. He was a bit worried that Shangguan Xiao would stop him from doing what he wanted.
But on another thought.
'Why did Long Qian Xing tell me about this?'
An Yi was even more confused and really couldn't think why Long Qian Xing would bother to tell him about this.
As he was thinking, Shangguan Xiao walked in his direction. He instinctively put on his guard when he saw Shangguan Xiao getting closer.
"Yi, you'll stay in the Capital City." Shangguan Xiao narrowed his eyes when he saw the guarded stance from An Yi. The corner of his lips curled up to form a sneer as he cursed Long Qian Xing inside his mind. "Don't think too much, I won't interfere in what you plan to do. However, you better stay away from my family."
An Yi looked at Shangguan Xiao deeply and then shook his head, not wanting to think too much. In any case, he was given green light by the two of them, so it should be fine for him to do whatever he wanted, right?
