Zhen Shu walked alongside him and told him, "I just received a call from your grandfather. There's something off about his tone. He wants me and you to return immediately. If you don't have anything to do, come back with me."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xiu stopped in his tracks and said in a deep voice, "Mom, I'm not going back. I've said that although my surname is Shangguan, I won't take anything from the Shangguan Family anymore. They live their life, I live mine. If they run into trouble, they solve it themselves."
Shangguan Xiu didn't need to ask to know that the sudden call from Grand Elder Shangguan must mean something happened to the Shangguan Family.
He had already declared that he would no longer be part of the Shangguan Family.
So naturally, he didn't want to be called back whenever something went wrong.
