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

Jiayi's surprised expression returned to normal after hearing how the young man, whose mental age is far older than his physical body has easily mentioned about taking his own life.     

In the memories she received, this is the person who broke from his fate and destiny while changing countless people's lives along the way, which led him to have a miserable ending.     

The person who also desired to take the life of the person he was fated to be with.     

The person who only lived for other people's sake rather than his own. Of course, those people were only two individuals who managed to become extremely important in his life.     

One person became the most honorable Emperor, while the other had become the Mother of the Empire.     

Jiayi understands that there was something twisted within this person. The young man's beautiful appearance and cold noble bearing is quite misleading, completely hiding the terrifying true nature within.     

"Alright, this is your life, you can do whatever you want for it."     

Even if I were to give my own opinion, it's not like you are going to listen anyway…     

"However, don't forget what you had promised to my would-be Future Self."     

Jiayi's purple eyes narrow down while Shao Cheng completely knows that she isn't talking about the matter related to the young Prince's miserable fate, who will soon start becoming famous for being a romantic guy in a few years.     

From what Shao Cheng knew, the fifth Prince is only thirteen years old this year, just three more years and he would turn into a well-known playboy, which was completely different from the Emperor who was also a romantic in his younger years but had been a responsible lover.     

"I didn't forget, however, you should also know what my first priority is."     

Ren Yuan always comes first.     

"Of course, I prefer to complete my promise and goal before I die."     

Although Shao Cheng doesn't mind losing his life, and can easily die for Ren Yuan's sake, he still preferred to make everything right. At least, he wants to watch Ren Yuan put the crown on his head while he is still alive in this new life.     

"And for everyone's sake, I'm sure the next High Priestess would help me out, right?"     

Even if Shao Cheng is gently smiling, there isn't a single warmth in his sapphire eyes when meeting Jiayi's solemn purple eyes.     

It's extremely helpful and beneficial for him to have the High Priestess as an ally. After all, the High Priestess can affect the decision of the Emperor, at the same time, freely able to move without suspicion in the Imperial Palace.     

"Haa, of course, I will be part of your plan. In my memories, you always love to make people do your bidding. Be it an ally or enemy, you are quite good at using and manipulating the people around you.     

Jiayi smiles gently despite the fact that her life will become intertwined with the most scheming, insidious, and heartless person she has ever known in her entire life.     

Nonetheless, instead of being controlled and used by the existence, she has started to loathe at an early age after being chosen as the next High Priestess of the Chang Empire. She would rather choose to be used by the person before her.     

At least, this person is the one who will break the invincible tight leash that had been put on her neck at a young age. Despite having the honorable identity of High Priestess, every single one of them had a lonely life.     

After the two of them get what they wanted while speaking what needs to be said, Jiayi breaks the peaceful moment between them after a few minutes of silence.     

"So… I have been curious for quite a while now, what did you do to receive such an extreme curse that has a whiff of death in your left arm? I have never seen such a strong resentment and hatred, the person who has cast such a spell definitely wanted the victim to be tortured before succumbing to their death."     

Shao Cheng calmly blinks his eyes before removing the thick white bandage wrapped around his left arm and showing the already darkened area upon his skin, which only the people with special eyes are capable of seeing.     

"Can you remove it?"     

He still remembers one of the reasons why he decided to meet the young Jiayi. Especially when he was rolling the stairway, he couldn't feel anything in his left arm anymore, which showed that it was a dangerous situation even for him.     

"Young Master Cheng, I'm still recuperating… However, come back in two days, and I will prepare the materials needed to purify it. I will be able to do it without using my full power, especially when the aura in the Sacred Mountain would make it easy to deal with it."     

"Purify?"     

Shao Cheng frowns while the gentle smile on his lip becomes colder, while Jiayi smiles in interest after seeing the young man's reaction. After all, even she feels amazed by the purple aura that she can still feel despite how he has tried hard to hide it.     

The young man is really powerful, however, it doesn't change the fact that he is only a beginner in the world of mysterious powers.     

"Yes, purify. I'm sure you have already learned that people like 'us' have limitations and taboos when using our mysterious power. Of course, like usual, you are quite special, there is basically nothing that will hinder you when using it."     

Jiayi can't help but let out an amazed sigh just thinking how terrifying this person will become after being skilled when using the mysterious power.     

"To be able to cast a spell this much and seemed to have been placed on someone a long time ago, the caster has definitely sacrificed the lives of countless others. Of course, the caster would have died after putting such a curse on a person."     

… It also shows that the caster is quite skilled and powerful… so there is quite a high chance that the person's identity shouldn't be simple...     

"So, Young Master Cheng, how did you get the curse on your left arm? This spell wasn't meant for you, it was cast to a specific person which will be passed down in their bloodline."     

Jiayi's purple eyes glow as she continues to examine and observe the blood-colored aura in the young man's left arm while countless information relating to the use of mysterious power flashes in her mind.     

"You are alive right now because your aura is special. If it was another person, they would have been dead in a matter of minutes… anyway, in order to completely eradicate this curse, please take the person who the curse is meant to be when you come back in two days."     

… So, I need Lin Renshu to meet Jiayi? I'm basically going to reveal some of my secrets… What kind of trouble did I get mixed up with?     

Shao Cheng doesn't want to have a deeper association with that person, especially when there is definitely a serious situation regarding his identity, or more likely, the identity of his parents who had disappeared.     

Nonetheless, he will still face such trouble for the sake of his younger brother. As Little Cai's older brother, he has to make sure that everything would turn out alright in the end.     

"Do you know which Empire the mysterious caster came from?"     

Although Shao Cheng is just a beginner and is still learning about the mysterious power and hidden people that are spread around the Empires, he also has an idea which Empire a mysterious person belonged to after a few experiences.     

If the purple color is a symbol for the Chang Empire with the blue color having an association to the Lau Empire, then the red should also belong to the other Empire that has powerful existences such as the High Priestess and High Priest.     

In Shao Cheng's memories, there are two famous figures left from other Empires, the Shamans in the North and the National State Teacher in the South. Of course, there might be some hidden powerful figures in the smaller Empires.     

"Well, it's quite easy since I was taken to the borders between the Empires in order to easily perceive the people that would end up coming in the Chang Empire, especially with a hidden agenda. Although there is taboo and limitation, you already saw that it cannot fully stop anyone from using it on someone else."     

… Among the easiest choices is to sacrifice the countless lives of others...     

Jiayi raises her hand and starts to draw a simple map in the air with her purple aura, at the same time, her clear voice begins to seriously reveal what she had learned while being trained as the next High Priestess.     

"The Chang Empire is in the East, and I'm sure you already know that the mysterious people in our place use a purple aura. Of course, yours is quite special and completely different from everyone."     

Shao Cheng nods his head and begins to seriously listen while watching the map being drawn in the air with his sapphire eyes already having a purple glow upon them.     

"The blue aura belongs to the Lau Empire of the West, while the Empire in the North has various colors because of having countless Shamans, however, they usually use the brown and green aura."     

Shao Cheng continues to store all the important information he is learning, knowing fully well that it will be a great help in the future. At the same time, he knows that some of those mysterious people have a high chance of turning into his enemies after becoming special.     

"As for the red color, I'm sure you already have an idea which Empire it belongs to."     

Jiayi smiles before elegantly finishing drawing the map in the air and circling one part in the air to make her point.     

"The South Empire, which is famous for having Empress as their ruler for countless generations instead of the Emperor, has always used the red aura."     

Aside from being alert about the movement of the Lau Empire because of the difficult war that Ren Yuan had fought against it in the previous life, do I also need to take care of the Empire in the South?     

Shao Cheng has never planned to ignore the other three Powerful Empires, especially when the fight for the throne would lead the other Empires to eye the Chang Empire with evil intentions in the future.     

Even if there is no war and the Empires are at peace, it's a simple fact that every Empire would make an underhanded move in the dark in order to make their neighboring Empire become weaker when there is great chaos.     

… Little Cai… you sure eyed a troublesome person…  I think it's better for you to remain straight…      

Shao Cheng can only inwardly sigh at the fact that his list of troubles keeps increasing, especially when they're started to be related to the neighboring Empires.     

Don't tell me I will have to face some complicated problems in the North too since that is the only Empire I'm missing from my list of problems?
