The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time (BL)

"Don't blame Whitey, it's your cousin's fault for not behaving right."     

Ren Yuan has casually let out a sleepy yawn while glancing at the flustered green eye youth that has knelt down to check the poisoned young man in the ground, and couldn't help but once more feel impressed by the young man's talent in medicine.     

… I really should ask for some drugs to Little Cheng after this is over…especially for pranking those annoying people... just thinking about all the trouble I could cause is already making me excited!     

Unbeknown to Ren Yuan's chaotic plan in mind, Shao Cheng has once more loop his hand around Ren Yuan's waist before jumping down to the ground while Pengfei has finally spoken toward the three people who wanted to do their own thing after receiving his gaze.     

Which Shao Cheng would have accepted if they just allowed the only request he wanted to be performed.     

"You know, My Icy friend isn't someone that you can easily throw off. Especially when you should at least respect and accept his condition, after all, it's Li Shi who have reached out to be rescued and saved."     

While making sure that Ren Yuan wasn't hurt after getting down despite knowing that a martial art body is far stronger than normal people, Shao Cheng has once more turned his attention to the three men, or more likely toward the older man with a deep and profound gaze.     

"... Mr. Li, if you plan to let your son and daughter continue to live their normal life after the situation then don't do it because sooner or later, their lives will become dangerous, while there is a great possibility of the two of them dying miserably before your nephew can even help them out."     

Besides, I won't allow them to continue living normal lives since it will in turned become a hidden danger to our lives once those people in the higher up related to the Ding Family might suddenly get a clue from today's event.     

After all, anything can happen, there is no full-proof and perfect plan out there, the best he could do is completely deceive them while letting them will turn their attention in a different direction.     

"What do you mean?"     

Rather than disregarding Shao Cheng's advice as mere nonsense of a young man's still lacking experience, the older man has been able to perceive a hidden meaning behind his sentence and has chosen to simply ask rather than going in a complicated circle, something Shao Cheng really appreciate.     

Although, it was Ren Yuan that has chosen to quickly answer the older man while simply revealing some information that the three of them didn't figure out yet since they didn't have enough time and people to investigate the entire situation.     

"Hey old man, did you guys know that Ding Family has a connection to the Royal Family? It wasn't just a simple small-time noble from what you guys have thought, besides, you should also know how paranoid and ruthless almost all the Royal members can be. It's the reason why we decided to let the river and lake take the blame."      

"...! The Royal Family…"     

The entire time, Shao Cheng has chosen to remain silent while letting Ren Yuan speak for a bit, although it was in a casual manner along with a lazy posture, nonetheless, he wasn't deceived by the man's outward act because he already knows how ruthless and terrible the man can be.     

"So, it's far safer to have you guys take the crime rather than letting the Royal family do a deeper investigation once they caught wind that it was the people of the Chang Capital who has done it. Besides, they can't completely use all of their power and authority to penetrate your sides, making it harder for them to figure out what really happened."     

All of them understand that the Din Family would completely disappear tonight, and it's bound to cause a disturbance in the entire Chang Capital, especially to the people who have the Ding Family under their name.     

A noble family, despite being small and low rank wouldn't be ignored, particularly when it's related to one of the Royal Members, especially when the person has a paranoid and suspicious character.     

"Although we have taken responsibility after accepting to help your son and daughter's circumstances but it's not enough to let us bear the brunt of the Royal Family attack if they suddenly discover our association right? Especially when you can no longer continue protecting your children since your time is almost up."     

"...!"     

"... W-What…! F-Father?"     

… as always, you will always have the irritating trait of revealing a person's painful secret so easily and suddenly just like that….     

While ignoring the surprised cry of the green-eyed young man, Shao Cheng's sapphire eyes have quickly glowed purple, before gazing at the dim life energy around the older man's body, which has been calmly flowing into the broken dantian where the internal energy is supposed to be stored by a martial arts person.     

The older man has definitely used a taboo skill, which can let a person with broken dantian being able to use a martial art skill, although rather than using the usual internal energy, instead, the person is using their life energy as a substitute.     

And from the look of it, the skill the old man has used is a ruthless and terrible one since the life energy continues to be consumed and used despite not doing anything else besides standing there.     

"Remaining life is only for two weeks... five days if you continue to use martial arts skill… three days if you push to hards…"     

Shao Cheng couldn't help but murmur those words out while feeling extremely curious after being able to perceive the flow of life energy on a person's body with his own eyes rather than trying to detect a person's health with the use of internal energy.     

"...! Father!"     

"U-Uncle!"     

While the two young men showed their shock at the terrible circumstance of the older man remaining life, Shao Cheng has calmly taken out three small scrolls stored inside his robes before throwing them to Pengfei who showed a curious expression on his face after figuring out that he was using a mysterious skill when gazing at the older man.     

"Young Master! Please help my Father. I beg of you! I would do anything as long as you save my Father's life!"     

"I can't, your father is simply using his vitality, once its use up then there is nothing else I can do. There is simply no one capable enough to return the life energy that has been consumed."     

Although… I can experiment with the purple aura later on since it appeared that it can be used in a multi-purpose way, basically, it's simply a miracle ability...     

Shao Cheng's eyes couldn't help but stay at the desperate Li Shi who has tightly grasped his father's hands while gazing in his direction with a begging expression, however, his heart remained numb and wasn't moved enough to try it out in a desperate manner.     

In the end, Shao Cheng wasn't affected enough to take a gamble and create a miracle for the sake of the people before him.     

… in this life, you aren't able to escape losing your Father… the only change is the fact that your Father will die with a far peaceful mind than the previous life… although, you also will continue to have a deep association in the river and lakes after everything is over.     

After all, Shao Cheng completely believes that this person would definitely choose to become stronger after everything being in a hopeless and miserable situation and losing his father, such an encounter needed to be experienced once.     

Especially now that the young man's younger sister is still alive, unlike the previous life where he has lost everything, there is still a precious person the young man needed to protect.     

Well, it's not like Shao Cheng will allow the young man to become useless and weak, especially when Li Shi was also chosen as a person that will be able to help the Chang Empire in the future.
