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

"When you go meet him, make sure to inform me and take your personal guard with you."     

"...! I know my Third Brother likes me the most!"     

Shao Cheng remains still even though his younger brother has rushed over to give him a warm hug, which was utterly delighted and happy for being able to stay with Lin Renshu.     

However, before he could prepare himself from being hugged by his younger brother since still retaining the dislike of being so close to others, he was quickly pulled to the side.     

And when he silently gazed upon the hand gripping his right arm and looking toward the owner of said hand, Ren Yuan casually shook his head while showing a 'this is all for your sake' look on his face.     

"You are injured, it's best not to get a hug from others."     

… What kind of reason is that?     

Shao Cheng inwardly raised his eyebrow and at the same time couldn't stop the fleeting emotion of delight in his heart after assuming that Ren Yuan doesn't like other people getting close to him even if it's a family member.     

Of course, a struggle of emotions followed after he noticed his dangerous thoughts.     

"Thank you for allowing Little Cai to remain as my friend."     

Friend?     

Shao Cheng's expression turned colder after hearing Lin Renshu's calm voice which carried a hint of joy, at the same time displaying a gentle smile on his pale face after receiving a warning look.     

… This person also has thick skin…     

Of course, he shouldn't be surprised since there wasn't any normal person when it comes to the people around Ren Yuan. All of them have unique temperaments and characteristics with usefulness or else Ren Yuan wouldn't have let them stay by his side.     

At the same time, Shao Cheng felt a bit helpless when his younger brother has rushed toward Lin Renshu with a bright smile on his face.     

… Can I still save this foolish younger brother?     

After what Lin Renshu has revealed about his identity, Shao Cheng would really prefer for Shao Cai to break any association with such a person, however, he could no longer be selfish or indifferent when making a decision just like in the previous life.     

Happiness, and safety, are what Shao Cheng wanted to compensate his family for the mistakes and miserable life he has unconsciously and consciously done in the previous life. Especially when the matter of the heart is quite complicated and difficult to phantom.     

What he considered the right action to take might not be the same to the people he cared about. And because of such complications, Shao Cheng couldn't help but consider that it's really far better to have few people close to his heart.     

Because he has more people to consider in this life, the actions and schemes he has in mind need to be carefully examined so that he won't accidentally hurt the people he cares about.     

"... Little Cheng is really worried about his younger brother huh…"     

"Compensation."     

Shao Cheng didn't hesitate to reveal the main reason for the care he has for his family toward the curious and interested Ren Yuan standing by his side. At the same time, completely ignorant at the sourness hidden behind the man's voice.     

Of course, a certain man is also completely ignorant at the hint of jealousy that flashes in his eyes after witnessing how thoughtful and caring a certain young man is toward another person.     

It doesn't even matter that it was a concern toward a family member, which showed how a bit abnormal his reaction is.     

"I see… Well, Little Cheng doesn't need to worry too much. From the look of it, although Lin Renshu has a steady and firm will along with great courage but when it comes to your younger brother, Renshu is a coward and wouldn't easily make his move."     

The man is careful, after knowing him for many years, this is the first time I learned about his association with the youngest young master of the Shao Family.     

"Ok, I will believe in Brother Yuan."     

Shao Cheng nodded his head since he could also tell that Lin Renshu is awkward and has low self-esteem when it comes to his romantic emotion toward his younger brother. Every person has weaknesses, and Shao Cai is obviously Lin Renshu's greatest weakness.     

In that slight moment of glimpsing the man thought, Shao Cheng quickly perceived how desperate and humble Lin Renshu is toward his younger brother. Which he also couldn't help but carefully consider the trouble he faced in the previous life if this man has a handoff it too.     

After all, with how deep and hidden this man is, Shao Cheng understands that Lin Renshu has a hand in letting Shao Cai survive their chaotic and dangerous situation in his previous life.     

… Ah, so many problems and information being revealed early in my new life…      

Shao Cheng should carefully make preparations and measurements when it comes to Shao Cai's future relationship since it tends to walk a complicated route, especially when there is a big change.     

In the previous life, Shao Cai has married a wife and has a son, although the feeling between the couple isn't passionate and deep as he witnesses how his younger brother is reacting and facing Lin Renshu.     

Particularly when in Shao Cheng's memory the supposedly 'wife' has never once visited the Palace, especially when the only son of Shao Cai has started to live in the Palace at an early age in order to be trained as the next heir to the throne.     

Not once did the woman appear, only hearing the news of how the woman preferred to travel around the Empire rather than staying in the Chang Capital. So he can only assume that Shao Cai has married for the sake of leaving a descendant in the Shao lineage after everyone else has died.     

After all, not only was Shao Cheng a traitor in Shao Cai's eyes, he also didn't marry anyone in the previous life, leaving Shao Cai to solve the problem of saving the lineage of their family. Of course, all of this is his guess, but somehow, he instinctively thought that he got it right.     

While inwardly sighing at how complicated life is, Shao Cheng turned his attention toward the smiling Lin Renshu that is acting as a close friend to Shao Cai, and yet, the pampering look on his eyes is quite hard to miss when one tries to observe it deeply.     

Of course, a certain someone remains ignorant.     

"We are going to the temple tomorrow. I know someone that can also check your situation."     

I also need that woman to check my left arm.     

Although Shao Cheng doesn't have a complete understanding regarding the purple aura but it doesn't change the fact that it's extremely powerful, better than anyone else in the world, and quite special.     

And yet, he perceived the increasingly numb feeling on his left arm, particularly the way that it seemed to tend in the same situation that occurred in the young man's paralyzing legs.     

This curse or whatever skill it was is abnormally powerful enough to affect him. Even Purple mentioned detecting some unusual power, needing to study what it was before trying to deal with it.     

Both of them are quite new to the special power, and the Chang Spirit that could help them is still in a deep sleep, so the closest person they can go to is either Pengfei that has more knowledge than them, or the High Priestess that is still training in the Temple outside the Capital.     

And since Shao Cheng already planned to visit the Famous Temple and meet the High Priestess, then it's far better to let the woman examine his left arm.     

"Alright, I'll arrive in the Famous Temple tomorrow. Would you want me to travel with you?"     

Shao Cheng's lip twitched when Lin Renshu shamelessly asked to come along before feeling helpless after seeing the bright expression on Shao Cai's face, seemingly excited to finally introduce the young man to his family.     

"No need."     

Continue hiding your association with Shao Cai.     

"Ok."     

I understand.     

When Shao Cheng planned to leave, Shao Cai wished to remain behind for a bit more hours in which he calmly nodded his head before letting Xixi remain in order to watch over Shao Cai's safety from such a sly fox with evil intention.     

No matter how crazy and rotten his crazy cousin is, there is no way that she will happily push Shao Cai to a man's arms, especially when Cai is still so young. He felt relief leaving his younger brother safe in his cousin's hand.     

"Don't worry my beautiful cousin, until that young man's identity becomes reliable, I will protect Little Cai chastity!"     

"..."     

So, when Lin Renshu is finally deemed trustable, will you allow and watched Little Cai being eaten?     

Shao Cheng's eyelids twitch after watching Xixi gently pat her chest with a serious expression on her face while vowing in a soft voice in which the two busy young men and old servant a few distances away wouldn't be able to hear.     

He almost made a mistake, he shouldn't trust Xixi and underestimate her completely rotten mindset when it comes to relationships between men.     

So, after Ren Yuan has kindly left some of his own people to protect Shao Cai, Shao Cheng has pulled an unwilling Xixi from the pavilion, and when they appeared in a street without giving anyone suspicious, he has given a bag of silver ingots to an increasingly excited Xixi.     

"Cousin, go and have fun."     

… Go have fun in the red light district and pull that little milk dog always following behind your back. I still need to carefully check my left arm when I arrive home without disturbance.     

"My beautiful cousin is so thoughtful! Alright, I'll go now. My charming younger brother Yuan, I will leave cousin Cheng in your hands!"     

"Sister Xixi, there is no need to ask. I will completely protect Little Cheng since he is quite ignorant about the danger around him. So, go and have fun. Take Tian Ying along with you. He knows a lot of fun places that will make you happy."     

Completely ignoring the paling face of Tian Ying, Ren Yuan didn't hesitate to push his friends into the crazy woman's arms, especially after figuring out that Whitey wanted to be left alone.     

So, after watching Xixi drag a pitiful Tian Ying toward the direction of the red light district, the two of them quickly and silently arrive at the Shao Residence.     

And after arriving in the courtyard, Ren Yuan narrowed his peach blossom grey eyes before swiftly pulling the little guy that was deep in thought, and when the young man fell in his arms, his long and slender finger gently lifted the smooth chin of the stunned Whitey.     

"Now then… Whitey, please tell me what's wrong with your left arm? You didn't think that I didn't notice it did you?"     

"..."     

… What the hell… you can question me, but is there a need to act so ambiguous?
