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

Inside a hidden and well-protected room, Shao Cheng gently picks the teacup on the table before gently sipping on it before finally turning his attention to the solemn Jiayi sitting opposite of him.     

It was only a few minutes after he finished discussing with Lin Renshu regarding their future association.     

For example, the schemes and plots regarding the future rebellion he has been planning in order to win the throne for a certain person.     

And he had to admit that there is a reason Lin Renshu had been able to get close to Ren Yuan when the young man only raised his eyebrow as a reaction regarding the treacherous goal he just heard from him.     

Before straightforwardly getting into the main problem and circumstances that they would deal with and facing because of Shao Cheng's traitorous and rebellious actions instead of trying to reason about his dangerous goal.     

Honestly, Shao Cheng shouldn't even feel a bit of a surprise at what kind of people Ren Yuan can ally himself with. In which he decided to watch the young man out more despite already completing the contract of loyalty with his mysterious power.     

After all, from the look of it, this person had been eyeing his fourteen years old younger brother long before Shao Cheng even knew of his existence.     

If he didn't feel the genuine and sincere feeling Lin Renshu has toward Little Cai's well-being and happiness, he wouldn't have bothered with all the trouble of helping him out and keeping his life.     

After all, the main reason and concern of Lin Renshu for wanting to live had always been for Little Cai.     

And for Shao Cheng who has always been prepared to die anytime in order to fulfill his deal with the Chang Spirit and give everything he got toward Ren Yuan's sake because of the previous life promise that had grown into something more.     

It was a great relief to know that there would be someone out there that would care and worry about his family despite all the preparation he had prepared just in case he failed in the end.     

After all, despite the bond and growing feelings Shao Cheng had toward his family, he won't ever forget who is his first priority, and that would always be Ren Yuan.     

Lin Renshu would live for Little Cai's sake, and it also added the Shao Family to the man's intention since Shao Cheng could tell how his younger brother's happiness matters the most in Lin Renshu.     

And although Little Cai is the only survivor in the entire Shao family aside from Shao Cheng in the previous life, it was understandable since Lin Renshu should have been dead a long time ago.     

It was already admirable that he could protect and keep Little Cai alive despite leaving the world before the fight for the throne finally started, which just showed how unimaginable the young man's affection toward Little Cai is.     

Shao Cheng doesn't know how his younger brother can catch the affection of an astounding and incredible person. Because the power Lin Renshu build and created is simply amazing after seriously learning about it.     

And it's extremely helpful too since Shao Cheng had just started building his own compared to Lin Renshu and Ren Yuan that had started at a young age.     

After all, Shao Cheng needed all the power he could get since he got a throne to fight, which was far more difficult and filled with problems compared to the previous life where he was backing a legitimate Prince for the throne.     

Even if he later learned that there is a reason Ren Yuan had rebelled and is also meant for the throne because of a past he doesn't know of.     

There is no denying that they will be facing a lot of powerful and authoritative people that would be against someone else that wasn't one of the Emperor's children becoming the next ruler of the Chang Empire.     

There is a reason why Ren Yuan had been called a rebel and would be remembered for the generation to come despite saving the Chang Empire from further destroying itself and no matter what kind of reason he got for doing so.     

As for the wife that Little Cai had married in the previous life, well, Shao Cheng will just watch out for the love life of his younger brother since despite having memories of the previous life, he couldn't control how people will live their lives.     

Even if he could change some situations, in which the future wouldn't remain the same anymore because of the butterfly effect, he wasn't some God that could dictate how they would choose the path they would be walking.     

Shao Cheng isn't invincible, and he would know everything that is going on. Just as what happened to Lin Renshu, suddenly having an unknown people with a mysterious power that almost knew of his existence if he just chose one wrong move.     

"Young Master Cheng, are you listening to me?"     

"Yes."     

Clank     

Shao Cheng put down the teacup on the table, and even though he had been thinking about Lin Renshu, Little Cai, and their future situation, it didn't mean that he wasn't listening.     

Multi-tasking is something he had already learned to do long before he even transmigrated.     

For now, though, Shao Cheng had more confidence in Lin Renshu's loyalty because the young man's dedication to Little Cai's well-being, safety, and happiness is unimaginable.     

"I know your aura is powerful but you are still unskilled with the way our power works, so please always carry this with you at all times for your protection."     

Shao Cheng eyed the open small box that the young Jiayi had placed on top of the table, which was a normal-looking silver coin, one of the many items that are being sold as simple charms in the Sacred Mountain for the people who wished for luck or other prayers they have.     

And yet, he could sense a powerful aura on such a deceptive item if he were to focus his attention on it. And when he turns on his spiritual eyes, he bypasses layers upon layers of covers before he can finally glimpse the engraved mysterious words upon it.     

If he were to further dig deeper, he could finally see the huge amount of powerful purple energy stored within it.     

For such a normal-looking coin, no one could tell how important and powerful the item is.     

"You are quite skilled with seeing the aura."     

Jiayi's eyes flash with appreciation since she knew he was just getting used to their mysterious power. The connection he has to the world aura is definitely unbelievable and she couldn't help but wonder how the world appeared in his eyes whenever the spiritual eye is turned on.     

After all, every person who has the mysterious power sees the world in different ways.     

"Even my Master wouldn't be able to easily tell that there is something wrong with this silver coin. It will even take her a few hours to even figure out that there is something unusual about it."     

Honestly, there is a reason why this person is chosen and favored by the Chang Spirit.     

"So, you don't need to worry about a person finding out about your special ability. Even if someone can tell how unusual the silver coin you are carrying is, it will only lead to me. I will take all the attention and serious trouble away from you."     

She had taken all the trouble for allowing the young man to carry such an item because hiding the ability of the young man from being found out is her main priority. It's one of their important secret cards toward any enemies they will be facing.     

Especially when her Master is showing signs of wrongness.     

She had felt it in the air a few days ago, something important shifted, future trouble she wouldn't be able to escape from and needed to face no matter how she felt about it.     

So Jiayi needed to hide how extremely special and out of the ordinary the young man was, particularly when the rules regarding special people like them did not limit and affect him.     

There are different ways to control and manipulate a person after all.     

"As long as you carry this item, those unknown people who had been trying to detect and discover who had ended Young Master Renshu curse won't be able to know your existence."     

Shao Cheng's indifferent expression didn't change even after knowing the trouble they are facing for ending the curse that Lin Renshu carries.     

During the time they were dealing with the curse, the person who cast the powerful curse if the person is still alive, but he bet the person is already dead.     

So, it should be the people who carried the caster's desire that had noticed what was going on.     

And that they have been trying to figure out the location and people who were trying to deal with the curse. Especially the person who has the curse and the person who had the courage to remove it.     

Fortunately, Jiayi could detect what the unknown people were doing after the curse was lifted. Or else they would face various troubles without knowing about it.     

It's also fortunate that Shao Cheng had performed the purification process in the Sacred Mountain since it's able to efficiently block anyone from finding out what they have done.     

If the entire situation was done in a different place and without Jiayi's help, Shao Cheng would have ended up in great trouble.     

Particularly when he wouldn't be able to tell that someone had noticed what he was doing and would remain completely unaware of having the attention of a powerful enemy skilled in the mysterious way coming after him.     

Undoubtedly, Shao Cheng would have trouble dealing with such enemies because the mysterious way is something he is completely inexperienced in dealing with compared to what he had done in the previous life.     

So, with the new trouble he found himself with, he accepted the fact that it was beyond his power and expertise in dealing with such a situation and didn't hesitate to pick up the silver coin.     

Shao Cheng wasn't arrogant and prideful to refuse the help he needed. He had learned to let go of those emotions after all the hardship and difficulties he had experienced after transmigrating.     

If he wanted to survive to protect the people he cared for, he had to do everything he could even if he loathed some actions he had taken. After all, he couldn't protect his loved one once he was dead.     

Although, it was ironic how Shao Cheng was killed by the people he loved in the end.     

"Thank you."     

Anyway, he wasn't ashamed to express gratitude even if it's something he rarely did. Especially when he understands that showing such emotion, especially the rare and shocking one could also be used depending on a situation or the people he is facing.     

For example, getting close to a person, making them feel important, or they are being appreciated.     

So, it did not surprise him by the way Jiayi's eyes slightly widened when she detected his genuine gratitude before smiling with more warmth than the one he faced before.     

Even when the people know what kind of person Shao Cheng had been in the previous life, they just couldn't completely escape from his manipulation. And honestly, Shao Cheng had long accepted the person he became after what he experienced in life.     

There is no denying how cunning, treacherous and ruthless he was, similar to the traitorous Prime Minister that he usually read about in his first life.     

The only difference was that he wasn't a traitor and honestly didn't give a damn about power and authority since all he wanted was to protect the people he loved instead of being ambitious for the throne.     

"I'm leaving, take care of Lin Renshu."     

"Don't worry, I'll make sure that Young Master Renshu will be ready before leaving the Sacred Mountain."     

And with that, Shao Cheng finally left the Sacred Mountain with the cry baby snake finally back to his wrist as a bracelet, which he couldn't help but scrutinize with critical eyes because it looked chubbier the last time he saw Goldy.     

Honestly, Chen Yu wasn't getting thinner after all the exercise he gave him. There is also the perverted Purple turning out a glutton, even Pinky is showing the sign of being a foodie, and now even the new addition in their bug family is getting chubbier.     

Shao Cheng couldn't help but let out a sigh, especially when the baby snake remained silent after poking it to answer his question.     

Where did the coward and cry baby snake go? It was only a few days of leaving his side in order to deal with the curse and staying with Jiayi people.     

… Don't tell me, Goldy is entering an early rebellious stage?     

He didn't even experience such a situation since he never had children and in his first life younger brother had been an angel.     

... Damn... I'm going to experience Fatherhood because of these special creatures right?     

"..."     

For now, though, there is a person he wanted to see despite knowing that the problem that would have given him great trouble is being misunderstood.     

"Let's go see your Mama bug."     

'Oh! I want to see Mama bug again, I also miss my new brothers~ Big Brother Purple, Brother Pinky, and Brother Chen Yu!'     

Huh, so now you replied.     

Would there be no normal creatures in his company?
