"Uncle Enlai, did you know that I have killed a person a few weeks ago?"

Rather than straightly answering Su Enlai's question, Shao Cheng has spoken in a different topic while simply perceiving the way that the middle-aged man's entire body has tense up all a sudden before swiftly glancing at his daughter's unsurprised expression causing his narrowed eyes to widened in absolute disbelief and astonishment.

It should be improper for Su Enlai to easily showed such an expression, especially regarding his rank as a General since one should be able to control and hide their emotions in order to deceive their enemies while hiding their weakness from being exploited.

However, Shao Cheng wasn't doubtful and surprise about Su Enlai's reactions since it was completely understandable why the older man was unable to hide it.

It wasn't only because the two of them are relatives and Shao Cheng being part of Su Enlai loved one, no, it was because of suddenly hearing a completely different viewpoint of attitude and aspects against the reason why Shao Cheng has been completely closed off from the rest of his family and almost the entire world.

After all, it was years after years of being indifferent toward the Shao Family, seemingly endless of worrying, hurting, and suffering because of Shao Cheng abhorring regard about fighting, violence, and death after witnessing his grandmother's died at a young age causing a wall being raised against his family who is into military skills.

So, when Shao Cheng has suddenly revealed that he has killed someone, it was undeniably a world-shaking revelation to hear it, especially to the Shao and Su Family that understands the sole reason why they couldn't get close to one of their loved ones no matter what they do.

After all, it was the greatest taboo and the sole reason for the agonizing years of the Shao Family.

However, this time its different, although Shao Cheng has shown that he was changing and trying to reach out to his family but the thought of him killing someone else and even hurting an individual much less an animal was totally unbelievable!

"And it wasn't only one person… I spilled the blood of countless people, which didn't cause a single ripple in my heart after they died by my hands. At that moment, where I choose to grasp a weapon, driving me to the point of killing a person, and it was all because there is someone I wanted to protect with all my heart and soul."

In the previous life, he killed for Huang Ya and Chang Pei, and in this new life, it becomes solely for Ren Yuan while correcting the error of the previous mistakes.

Sometimes, such enlightenment or awareness can cause a person to become an entirely different person, changing into a type of person they didn't even think or consider becoming.

In that unique moment of standing in front of numerous paths leading to the one unknown ending, Shao Cheng has already considered what path he will walk for the rest of his entire life.

It sounds so simple, so easy to understand but most people couldn't find the answer in their entire life even if it was only a simple solution.

In this new life, Shao Cheng seemed to finally found the right answer while the original Shao Cheng didn't even get the opportunity to figure out that he might have lost his grandmother but he still has numerous love ones in his life.

It just too bad that Shao Cheng is the one that is going to be performing it.

"In my mind, it was a choice between the life of people I care or will care about against the people who would become a great danger or threat to their life. In that particular moment, I know what I wanted, what I needed to do, and what sacrifice I am willing to offer in order to get the best result of what I desire."

Shao Cheng straightly met Su Enlai suddenly hard eyes before his cold and indifferent expression slowly melt and turning into the familiar small gentle smile showing on his face while speaking in a steady manner without any up and down upon his voice despite uttering such a shocking statement.

This is the kind of person Shao Cheng is, the kind of person he has become from living two lifetimes in two different worlds.

He is the kind of person who hides behind a various mask, the person who can perform all sort of evil and insidious actions for what he wants, however, he is also a person that just love and care too much to the point of being absurd and ridiculous in other people eyes.

For the first time, Shao Cheng has slightly shown the familiar mask he usually wears when facing other people, he just didn't think that it will be directly pointed toward his Uncle Enlai with Xixi watching in the sideline.

However, Shao Cheng will choose to show this side more to Su Enlai rather than the Shao Family.

Because Su Enlai is far more flexible, open-minded, and isn't entirely foolish enough regarding his loyalty to the Royal Family, besides, from the look of it, Su Enlai will choose his family first rather than devotion to the Royalty when the right time comes.

"Uncle Enlai… do you know? The other reason why I loathe the thought of violence wasn't only because of watching my grandmother die so miserably, no… it was because I already sense early on that the moment I cross that certain line, I will never be able to stop."

Shao Cheng's hands has long been bloodied by the life of numerous people, both good and bad people, he could no longer go back to how he was before he transmigrated in this world and he wouldn't wish to change back or else he won't be able to survive in this dangerous environment where life is nothing.

Although Shao Cheng has a warm expression but the sapphire pupil remains cold and chilling causing Su Enlai entirely body to tense up since he abruptly has the assumption that he was facing a dangerous beast while the indifference he senses to his nephew appeared to engraved directly to his bone.

It wasn't the usual pretense of attitude he saw among the people on the Royal Court, his nephew's coldness is a true essence within him.

And Su Enlai has met this kind of people before when dealing with the neighboring Empire who courageously continue to trouble the Chang Empire border every year.

It was the kind of people who treat their enemies and the people, they don't deem important in their lives in an utterly ruthless, cold-blooded, and terrible way, where it even cause Su Enlai blood to turned cold after witnessing such heartless actions among the leading people he fought before.

And now, Su Enlai is seeing such a dangerous aptitude in his nephew, which is also the strongest and deeper one among the people he met.

Su Enlai doesn't know what to feel, there are numerous complex emotions to even describe about what he thinks about the difference of the person standing before him.

At least, he believed that his nephew sees them as a loved one to care while he was also unable to stop the unexpected thought that the Shao Family finally has a high chance to survive the storm that is about to happen in the near future if they have this kind of Shao Cheng in their family.

Even Su Enlai can perceive that most of the Royal Family are already becoming restless and uneasy, the fight for the throne has always been dangerous and unpredictable in every new generation, numerous families have always disappeared and rise up every time a new Monarch sat upon the throne of power.

Su Enlai just hopes that he will be able to save his loved one during the chaotic time, if not, at least, the idea of Xixi staying by his nephew's side is also better option despite the danger he could feel on his nephew.

If there is really a possibility that the Su and Shao Family couldn't escape a downfall, to the point of being given the decree of exterminating their entire family, then Xixi chance of living and escaping by staying in Shao Cheng side is the best.

Not only would it be able to spare at least a few of Su Enlai love ones, but it can also preserve their bloodline from continuing on.

Both decision have a good and bad side, however, Su Enlai chooses to believe and have faith in his nephew's sudden show of remarkable and dangerous aptitude.

For Su Enlai nephew to suddenly possess the rare talent to have such overwhelming charm and attraction that even he was unable to ignore is utterly extraordinary.

Su Enlai couldn't help but take a risk, venturing in an uncertainly, and it all was because of his nephew's special appeal of causing a person on wanting to follow him through thick and fire.

On this day, during this time, Su Enlai would bet upon his instinct, besides this is also his favorite nephew, so it wouldn't hurt to give his trust upon him.

And Shao Cheng never knowing Su Enlai's thoughts has continued about revealing his completely new side to his Uncle, weaving and twisting about the reason why he has changed more than the usual him.

Especially when Shao Cheng showed such an unknown side to the Shao Family in the future, he will have Su Enlai backing him up.

"I still loathe the thought of killing but I am now willing to do it. In order to secure the one I wanted to protect, I can do what I detest the most. At least... I already recognize that there are already numerous people waiting to be dealt with."

Shao Cheng's small gentle smile couldn't help but spread wider while his sapphire pupil proceeds to condense like a pool of freezing ice.

"If in the past, I will remain indifferent no matter what happened. Even if the Shao Family is targeted, I wouldn't care one bit. However, it's different now. I understand that many people wanted to trample, defeat, and humiliate my family."

After speaking such long sentences for a while now, Shao Cheng suddenly felt his throat drying up, which was only in his mind, or maybe it's genuine since the body he is using wasn't used to speaking so much and for too long.

"Uncle Enlai, as long as I'm alive, I will never allow the Shao and Su Family to face a downfall. In the later chaotic time, our Family will undoubtedly survive. Others might fall but never ours."

Shao Cheng sapphire pupil brimmed with powerful and compelling determination while his usually steady voice deepened in a shocking amount of resolution causing anyone who hears it to wholeheartedly believe what he was saying.

As long as the Shao and Su don't give up, then he will raise them up to another level, the prestige, reputation, influence, status, and power will be entirely different in the previous life!

When Ren Yuan become the Emperor, at least, the man knew to give a proper reward to those who completely deserve it.

"Cousin, You Are SO AWE-INSPIRING! Don't Worry! Big Sister Xixi Promise To Be Your Personal Guard! I Will Use My Knife To Behead Our Enemies! I'll Spill Their Blood And Guts Their Stomach For Even Daring To Targets Our Love Ones! Of Course, Your Brother Yuan Is Added In Your List, So I'll Make Sure To Stabbed The Eyes OF Those Peoples Who Dare To Covert Your Man And Cutting Off The Men ***!"

Suddenly, Xixi has scream with all her might while waving her hands up that was suddenly holding knives, swaying left and right in an utter frenzy, completely have become so excited with the way her face has turned completely crimson color, efficiently being touch by Shao Cheng declaration.

Shao Cheng: "..."

…. Can you react normally for once? Please read the serious atmosphere!

Su Enlai: "..."

Yes, his decision is right… someone needs to watch over this stupid daughter of his.
