In the secret chamber, Shangguan Zeming's previously closed eyes flung open. As the footsteps of two parties approached, the corners of Shangguan Zeming's mouth gently curved up, revealing a smile of relief. Finally free, finally able to be free. He had let down the ancestors of the Shangguan Family, as well as all its members.
At this moment, he had placed the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Shangguan Family on the shoulders of a young girl. Shangguan Zeming felt somewhat apologetic toward the girl, but it didn't matter. After all, the strong should bear heavier burdens, right? Moreover, with the girl's powerful social skills, and considering the deep relationships the Bai Family's lad, the Fang Family's youngster, and especially the Zhuge Family's boy had with the Family Head and the girl, these individuals would only help her, not harm her.
After tonight, he would no longer witness the events that would unfold. Out of sight, out of mind—how wonderful, truly wonderful.
