Chapter 32 You are much more dazzling now
"You just asked me what I wanted to do with my life, and honestly, I don't know."
Shangguan Shujie's eyes rarely revealed a trace of confusion. She raised her left hand high and stretched it towards the moon in the sky, as if she wanted to grab the moon in her palm.
However, she was helpless because the moon was too big. The bright moonlight passed through the gaps between her nails and shone into her eyes, completely illuminating the confusion in her eyes and exposing it to the air.
“There are only two paths ahead of me. My life seems to have been determined since the moment I was born.
In fact, if my talent had not been discovered, I would not even have the second choice.
I don’t know what I like or what I want. It seems like everything is possible, but it also seems like nothing is possible.
No matter which of these two paths I take, I can live a good life.
only……"
"But when you really have to choose, you find that you don't want either of these two lives."
Shangguan Shujie is very capable. The role of the mistress of the harem is too small for her. Her world should have a broader vision.
However, Shangguan Shujie is essentially a kind and just person.
As someone who holds power in the dark, she has to deal with too many dark sides, and the targets she has to take action against are bound to be more good people than bad people. For her, this is a psychological burden.
She could be cruel, but she was really tired.
Tang Beiju listened quietly without saying a word.
After Shangguan Shujie had finished her story and confirmed that she would not say anything further, he spoke:
"It's almost time, we should go back. If it's too late, Qiuyue and the others will worry about me. And your brother Jieshu cares about you so much, he will definitely be worried about you too."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight to Shangguan Shujie, swung his long arm, unsheathed his sword, and attacked the place where Shangguan Shujie was lying.
This sudden action scared Shangguan Shujie, who was in a sad state. She immediately jumped up from the mud with a "thump" to avoid the attack.
"What are you doing?!"
What was going on in Tang Beiju's head? His train of thought was so bizarre that the way he urged someone to leave was to attack with a sword? Was this something a normal person could think of?
In response to Shangguan Shujie's rage, Tang Beiju calmly put away his sword, turned his back to her, and urged:
"Let's go!"
He was sweating profusely today, so he had to go back and take a shower at least three times to completely wash off the stains on his body.
He left without turning around. Shangguan Shujie was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, so she had to follow him.
"Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Shangguan Shujie followed behind and asked.
Tang Beiju wondered: "What are you going to say?"
"Like giving me some pointers or something."
Tang Beiju was puzzled: "Do you need any guidance?"
"You think I don't need it?"
"unnecessary."
"Why?"
Tang Beiju turned his head expressionlessly and glanced at Shangguan Shujie. His cold eyes seemed to see through everything. He said:
"People like you will never be lost."
Shangguan Shujie was able to stand out from many geniuses and be chosen by the Shangguan family head who had seen countless people to become the best candidate for the person in power on the dark side. She must be a person with her own opinions who would not be easily influenced by others.
If he expected that just a few words could make her change her mind and realize her truth, then the most naive person present would only be him, Tang Beiju.
The fact that Shangguan Shujie dared to tell him about her confusion showed that she had already made up her mind.
Those confusions are all false.
A person who is very cautious and really confused will never easily tell others what she is feeling.
This sentence successfully shut Shangguan Shujie's mouth.
She stopped moving forward and stood where she was, looking at Tang Beiju's departing back with an expressionless face. Her eyes were calm, like a pool of stagnant water, completely blending in with the surrounding dark night.
Unable to hear the footsteps behind him, Tang Beiju frowned and turned to look at her. Unexpectedly, his eyes met Shangguan Shujie's and he successfully saw the abyss in Shangguan Shujie's eyes.
"It seems that I was right."
Tang Beiju commented indifferently.
Those were a pair of eyes full of ambition, an extreme desire for power, and also a strong pursuit of individualism.
Tang Beiju was not surprised by this.
As Shangguan Shujie said before, eyes can deceive people, mouths can deceive people, and even intuition can deceive people.
But for those who have been immersed in martial arts for a long time, the aura that is unintentionally revealed during a fight is absolutely not deceptive.
"What you want is greater than what the Shangguan family can give you from the two paths you choose."
Tang Beiju was not disgusted by women with such strong ambitions, and even admired them very much.
He rarely took the initiative to praise:
"You are much more dazzling now."
Shangguan Shujie ignored his praise, but raised the corners of her lips and asked, "Then what do you think I want?"
"The entire Shangguan family." Tang Beiju guessed.
He is not the one who holds power secretly, nor the one who holds power openly. He is the one who holds power in both the open and the hidden.
Tang Beiju thought that this was very consistent with the desire revealed in her eyes.
However, to his surprise, Shangguan Shujie shook her head.
"Yes, but not entirely."
Tang Beiju was wrong about one thing. No matter how smart Shangguan Shujie was, she would definitely feel confused.
The turning point that truly made her determined and no longer confused was this trip after she left the Shangguan family.
In the Jiucai Kingdom martial arts competition, she saw too many brilliant women.
Tang Qiuyue's physical strength is boundless, Liu Roulei's personality is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and Nie Erfeng's moves are varied and varied...
The more I interact with them, the more dazzling they seem.
But when she came to Juzi Country and found that the women living here had their own ways of living, but without exception, they all lived according to their own ideas, her confusion finally disappeared.
Slowly, she finally realized what the root of her pain was and what she really wanted.
The root cause of the pain lies in the Shangguan family, which does not allow women to shine.
Even if a woman is extremely talented, far surpassing everyone around her, she can only assist in secret and cannot act openly and honestly.
So, there seemed to be two paths before her, but in fact, there was only one.
What she really wants is for all the outstanding women in the Shangguan family to be free from gender constraints and to be able to compete with others on the same platform in an open and honest manner.
She wanted to be the person in charge of both the open and secret sides of the Shangguan family, not only because of her desire for powerful authority, but also because only by reaching this position could she change all the injustices against the women of the Shangguan family.
Those geniuses who have been buried because of their gender should get what they truly deserve, instead of being forced to have their fruits stolen by others and having to protect the thieves in turn.
"What is that?"
Seeing that Shangguan Shujie was silent for a long time, Tang Beiju became curious and asked.
"Do you think I'll tell you before it's done?"
Shangguan Shujie raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Tang Beiju, smiled faintly, but without any smile, and asked back.
Hearing this, Tang Beiju felt that it made sense.
He nodded, did not ask any further questions, and did not intend to wait for Shangguan Shujie. He turned around and left without hesitation.
Shangguan Shujie remained motionless until Tang Beiju's figure completely disappeared from her sight. Then she withdrew her gaze, looked towards a certain eerie direction, and asked:
"Brother, how long do you plan to hide behind those tree roots?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a rustling sound came into her ears. After a while, a rabbit jumped out and ran to Shangguan Shujie's feet.
"You're not going to come out? Fine then."
Shangguan Shujie slowly closed her eyes, feeling the cool breeze from the mountain at night, and said slowly:
"It's a cool night, please take care of yourself."
After Shangguan Shujie left completely, Shangguan Jieshu's figure slowly appeared.
His expression was extremely complicated, and even he himself didn't understand what kind of expression he should put on to digest the information he learned today.
In fact, from the moment Shangguan Shujie and Tang Beiju set out, he had been following them quietly.
He had fought against Tang Beiju before, and he knew very well that once Tang Beiju started fighting, he would easily become careless.
That was his own sister. If she was beaten to a pulp by Tang Beiju, he would have no place to cry. Naturally, he had to go over and take good care of her so that he could take action in time if anything unexpected happened.
result……
It turned out that his sister had another side that he didn't know.
The dark clouds on the horizon moved slowly, completely covering the moon, making it almost impossible to see any moonlight.
For a moment, Shangguan Jieshu's mind was completely confused.
He didn't know what mood or expression he should have when facing Shangguan Shujie.
Should he be angry?
He roared at her indignantly, saying, "He treated her so well and cherished her like a treasure. Why did he hide such an important matter from her? Why didn't he discuss it with her?"
Or express your determination to Shangguan Shujie?
He made it clear to her firmly and forcefully that no matter what kind of person she was, she was his sister, without a doubt.
Or, he could tell her as calmly as possible that no matter what path she wanted to take, he would do his best to help her, no matter what.
Shangguan Jieshu was in deep confusion.
After a long time, the dark clouds dispersed, the moon gradually emerged, and the moonlight once again gently fell on the ground.
Shangguan Jieshu's gaze changed from conflicted to determined, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He thought: Maybe the answer... has already been revealed...
Didn't every point he was struggling with reflect his stance long ago?
In fact, as the best candidate for the future head of the Shangguan family, how could he be naive?
He just doesn't want to have bad thoughts towards the people he cares about.
He had long known that there was a dark side in the Shangguan family, but he didn't know that Shangguan Shujie was also deeply involved in it.
He is willing to help Shangguan Shujie unconditionally, but what if Shangguan Shujie wants to seize his actual interests and become the head of the Shangguan family?
He will definitely not help!!
Shangguan Jieshu gave the answer without hesitation in his heart.
Any position should be occupied by the capable person. Without the ability, you will not be able to sit firmly and will be pulled down sooner or later.
Shangguan Jieshu had the same idea, and he knew that Shangguan Shujie had the same idea.
And he won't give in.
If he chose to give in, it would also mean that he did not truly treat Shangguan Shujie as an equal.
Then compete!
Shangguan Jieshu finally made up his mind and thought:
Sister, no, Shangguan Shujie, please prove your strength to me!
If you can successfully defeat me and get to the position you want, I will sincerely bless you and be happy for you!
