"Sixteen years ago, a Prophet foretold that the Five Spirit Pearls would come together again in eighteen years, and that would be the time for the Shangguan Family to turn their fate around," Zhuge Yang spoke indifferently. He was aware that only someone from the Shangguan Family could gather the Five Spirit Pearls. Accordingly, no one currently targeted the Shangguan Family. Even if there were plans against them, it would only be to diminish their influence in the political arena, and that too would be timed with the collection of the pearls. Thus, the Shangguan Family was protected as if they were a national treasure.
Minor conflicts were permissible, even dragging the Shangguan Family through the mud was allowed. However, not a single member of their family could die, for no one knew who among them would gather the Five Spirit Pearls.
