Quick Transmigration: Counter Attack Of Various Characters - 119 Relationships

Su Li hadn’t expected that.

Though she knew on an instinctive level that it was wrong of her to put Zhou Sheng in such a cruel position without caring about his inner turmoil when he had to choose between her and his family, she wanted to know what had happened after her death.

Some might say that she was still naive to simply trust Zhou Sheng’s word for it after everything that had transpired and how could she believe that he wouldn’t simply lie to placate her and calm her emotions.

But she knew that the other person would never lie to her.

It wasn’t due to her instinctive feelings or some maudlin thoughts about friendship.

No, this confidence was borne from the fact that this person had gone back into the proverbial tiger’s den along with her to save a person that didn’t mean much to him in the grander scheme of things.

He could have left her to go back on her own that day and wouldn’t have needed to put himself in a situation that was between a rock and a hard place for him.

Nonetheless, this person had stayed true to their friendship and gone back with her and hadn’t simply left her to her ill fate.

More importantly, he hadn’t reacted negatively when that person had shot his grandfather.

Even though she had been losing blood at a rapid pace and had been on her death bed, she had seen the concern for her in his eyes.

Zhou Sheng hadn’t shied away or blinked his eyes when she had silently pleaded him to stand by that person’s side after her death. He hadn’t refused her and turned his back on her.

She nodded her head as she thought about the past and the present, gave him a sad smile, pulled away from him and turned to go back to her rooms.

These past few weeks had repeatedly made her think about things best left forgotten and she needed some peace and quiet to once again gather her equilibrium and try to live her life – even if she felt that she was simply surviving instead of living it.

Meanwhile, the Head Commander furrowed his brows at the words passed back and forth between the monarch and Zhou Sheng and his gratitude towards Zhou Sheng further increased when he realised that this person had taken revenge on the monarch and his beloved’s behalf.

Truthfully, he had been shocked the other night when he had heard that the monarch had loved someone and lost that person but since he was His Majesty’s Shadow Guard, his duty was to protect the said person.

Therefore, he hadn’t dared to pry into this matter but he had felt pity for the monarch who always seemed to have the best interest of his subjects in his heart.

Today, he gained a deeper understanding of His Majesty’s past that seemed to be shrouded in equal amounts of mystery and misery.

He kept his face impassive as he watched the slouched back of the monarch as the other person left the training grounds and followed him silently to the Imperial bedchambers.

Now he understood the reason behind the sad and lonely look the monarch would sometimes support when he thought no one was looking and it pierced the Head Commanderd’s heart to see his liege in so much pain.

Though he couldn’t do anything to lessen the monarch’s pain, the Head Commander vowed to do everything in his power to make sure that nobody ever dared to hurt the monarch ever again.

It was their blessing to get a monarch who placed the welfare of his subjects before his own needs and nobody should even dare to eye his position and power.

After all, most Imperial Clan members only wanted the absolute power that came along with this position but never cared about the responsibilities that they should also pay attention to in order to sit on the highest seat of power in the dynasty.

Meanwhile, Zhou Sheng was also reminded of the carnage Zixi had gone on after Princess’s mourning period had been over.

He recalled how the Yu Patriarch hadn’t blamed him for the actions of his family and simply told him that he wasn’t at fault for the actions of the previous generation.

Even though no one knew that he wasn’t the original Li Rong, the words of the Yu patriarch had been strangely humbling and had been a slight balm on the raw wounds of his heart.

Both of them – Zixi and the Yu Patriarch had been decent to him throughout the years after Princess had passed away and never blamed him or found fault with him.

Most of the time, the three of them had been united in their grief and revenge and that was what had finally made him understand why Princess had loved Zixi so fiercely.

That person had exacted the cruellest of revenge on the Li family and had never allowed Yu Yan to take over as the Heir of the Yu Conglomerate but he had also been unfailingly kind to everybody else.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
