Chapter 486 - A Glimpse Of His Past (2) (1/2)

”Is that why you are being branded as a traitor? You are not actually being framed, aren't you?” Yao Ying asked in surprise. After all, he indeed wasn't a Qin citizen and Yao Ying was wondering why Li Guang was staying in the Qin Kingdom.

Was it just for Yao Ying's sake? He started to make a guess randomly. The more he asked, the more he was feeling confused about his own identity. Who the hell was he?! Was it worth it to protect him like this?

Li Guang sighed. ”Yes,” Li Guang finally admitted. No one framed him because he was Yao Ying's person from the beginning and they weren't exactly working for the Qin Kingdom.

”It seems like my brother is the one who leaked out the news,” Li Guang admitted. He received his men's reports as well about it, so he didn't solely rely on Ying Ying's news. Everything had been caused by his greedy brother...

He didn't know whether his brother was stupid or what --- by doing this, he might gain an advantage from those people in the beginning, but what about in the future? He wasn't Qin Kingdom's citizen, so would they trust him? He really wanted to laugh at his brother's foolishness but he didn't have any pity for him.

People reaped what he sowed.

He didn't think that he would do well in the future when he joined the Qin Kingdom's officialdom. Besides, he could betray his own brother, so his current employer wouldn't really believe him as well. He didn't even think that he even needed to get revenge personally to him before he was being devoured by the others.

”So... where are you and my father coming from?!” Yao Ying asked, pulling Li Guang out from his deep thoughts about his disappointing brother.

”We are actually from here... The Shu Kingdom...” Li Guang admitted in a low voice.

Yao Ying was dumbfounded when he heard Li Guang's answer. He thought that he was probably from the Han Kingdom, after all, he was able to live safe and sound here so far... Was it because his father had protected him so far... or...? He really didn't know what to think anymore. His mind was overloaded with the recent news.

”Here?” He asked in a hoarse voice, feeling that his headache started to come and haunt him --- it was like the time when his memories were being triggered. He quickly tried to calm his mind by pushing several acupuncture points slowly, a trick that Yao Ling had taught him so his headache wouldn't get any worse once it occurred.

It seemed like the things that he had involved in were very deep and complicated.

No wonder that they protected the man's identity so well. It seemed like he was someone important in the Shu Kingdom. However, why did his grandfather let his mother do as she wanted? A noble family would always want to protect their image --- there were a lot of ways to cover the matter up, but that matter was able to blow up crazily at that time.

Or was there someone working behind the scene to ruin his maternal family? There were a lot of possibilities that he could think of --- but he didn't know which one was the truth.
