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

Chapter 253: Shao Cheng Peaceful But Also Busy Days While Ren Yuan Is Away.

After Ren Yuan was taken away by a delighted Prime Minister who didn't release the chain tied upon him, in the following days, Shao Cheng has been extremely busy secretly building up his power and strength along with creating various objects that have modern earth ideas on them.

For example, new dishes, different types of alcohol, excellent healthy cosmetics for the wealthy ladies, using the stolen money to purchase lands deed to farm the crops he needed inside and outside the Chang Capital, stealthily spreading his own information network with various related business types and countless more ideas in mind.

Because different from the previous life, Shao Cheng has decided to fully use the information he has in his first life, no longer being extremely careful about guarding against any disorder or getting into trouble because of the unusual creation he decided to produce.

There is also the fact that because of reading countless novels, Shao Cheng has been cautious that there might be other people who somehow have also transmigrated the same as him.

One could say, he has been a bit paranoid when it concerns his transmigrated identity, or else he wouldn't have been always hiding while feeling dreadful when it comes to the High Priestess Jiayi in the previous life.

Of course, Shao Cheng wasn't foolish enough to openly show his hands and has done all of it in a concealed and obscure way because he would never reveal his connections for as long as it needed, especially when he has also quietly begun to put his hands in the underground power in the Chang Capital.

Despite knowing that Ren Yuan has his own power and network spread around in different places, Shao Cheng doesn't want to use their special friendship in order to shamelessly utilize the power in Ren Yuan's hands.

Besides, it's always better for Shao Cheng to have his own power.

At the same time, it wasn't also surprising when Shao Cheng has also put his eyes on the neighboring Empires, after all, there is a high chance that an unexpected situation will occur because of what has changed.

Fortunately, Pengfei people are spread out wide all around the Empires while at the same time he has been secretly using the unknown people that his Uncle Enlai has developed, which was any family with power normally do.

Of course, for safety and unexpected trouble, he has already determined to slowly switch his Uncle Enlai people after finally having his own people to use, especially when the Chang Capital has countless people to select because no matter what world, there are always poor and pitiful people, particularly orphans.

Besides, in Shao Cheng's opinion, there are also people that have been once part of the noble families that were either demoted or removed from power be it from being framed, scheme, or just plain losing in the fight, of course being cut off in the family genealogy normally happen to.

These kinds of individuals are the best type of people to use in more complex and dangerous circumstances, especially when they have the thought of retaliating no matter the sacrifice, its particular advantageous when it's related to the same people that he wanted to secretly deal with.

Of course, Shao Cheng also acknowledges the danger it follow because of certain emotions of being unable to controlled or restrained themselves when suddenly facing the people they hated.

Although it would have been a dangerous idea to perform in the previous life, but he wasn't the same inexperienced and naive person in the past anymore.

Shao Cheng's physical age must have regressed back to the starting point of his transmigration but the accumulation of experience and change of mindset has remained, particularly when there is also the special purple aura that he can count on.

So from mornings and nights, Shao Cheng didn't waste any single time to quickly and meticulously prepare for the future disturbance that will basically mean death if he failed.

However, no matter how busy he is, there is also the promise he needed to fulfill regarding treating his family better, always adjusting some of his precious time to carefully interact and slowly integrate himself into the family.

Which has also helped to slowly lessen his youngest sister's secret grievance from being ignored for many years, although the tsundere and cold attitude remain the same, albeit suddenly becoming adorable in his big brother's perceptions.

Of course, Shao Cheng wouldn't have forgotten a certain person and is always getting the news from his little student about Ren Yuan escapade in the Chang Capital every single day, which was once more causing chaos and mayhem, especially when the news of the prank drugs that he made was being used.

So Shao Cheng's daily life has been sleeping, waking up, eating, scheming, interacting with his family, producing new modern objects, ordering people, devising on how to get rich, building up power, hearing Ren Yuan gossips, training, and many more.

At the age of sixteen years old, well physically, Shao Cheng's life was already extremely busy with various designed being dealt with in secret, however, every single time he hears the news of Ren Yuan carefree days and always having fun at the expanse of some people pain can always let his heart feels light and warm.

Because everything is worth it, at least, in the third life Shao Cheng is living, all the trouble, difficulty, and struggle wasn't something that he would regret no matter how everything would turn out in the end.

"... this life is worth it"

Gazing deeply at the darkening sky from the open window, Shao Cheng that was sitting in front of a desk has gently place down the brush in his hands while letting out a gentle sigh.

Although he genuinely desires a peaceful life by the side of the people he cared about but he completely understands that his new life is meant to fulfill the promise he made to Ren Yuan while fixing the mistakes, blunders, and errors he has done when walking the wrong path in his previous life.

"It's already good"

Ren Yuan is still young and wasn't completely darkened by the hardship of life while the people he cared about weren't wipe-out and leaving him all alone in life.

And the Shao is still a complete and happy family, his cousin Xixi didn't die because of his foolish stubbornness of caring for the wrong people, while the people in the previous life that have treated him extremely good still remain carefree somewhere in the Empire.

Sometimes, people have always missed the good thing in life while completely turning a blind eye to their surroundings, never knowing how to appreciate what they already have in life, fortunately, he was able to understand and comprehend it after the two lifetimes.

"For this one last chance... I have to do my very best right?"

Shao Cheng cold expression has easily become soft and gentle when he thought of the man he suddenly started liking along with the few people he began to care about in life before once more gently picking up the brush and resuming on writing the process of creating the items he wanted to introduce in the ancient martial art world.

Although when the sky has turned darker with Little Xiaolin quietly entering the room and lighting up candles in order to brighten the place, Shao Cheng has finally stopped writing in the middle of the night before gazing in the distance and then quietly leaving the Shao Residence for the first time after Ren Yuan has left.

Soon, Shao Cheng has quickly arrived in a simple residence without meeting troubles on his way, while at the same wearing a disguised, which has always consisted of dark clothes and a mask on his face before he was able to quickly notices the dark and sad atmosphere shrouding the entire place.

"You are here"

As soon as Shao Cheng walked inside a room, a weak voice but has still retained a strong emotion on it has rung out causing his gazes to quickly glance at the person sitting upon a chair while being surrounded by three young people.

"Yes since it's time."

The people in the room have been the previous life Illusive Treacherus Killer Li Shi, his younger sister Li Mingzhu, the person in the river and lakes which is named Mu, and the dying older man that has used his life energy source because of being unable to use his internal energy.

"You only have three hours left."

Shao Cheng secretly uses his special skill to check the older man's remaining time which is the life aura running in his body, before calmly letting the people know about it and finally causing the unfortunate brother and sister to finally let out their tears, unable to continue denying the fact that their father will soon die.

Death huh...

In the entire world, Shao Cheng definitely the person that completely knows and understands the concept of death the most, although he already has become numb to his own life it's a completely different meaning if it concerns the people he cared about.

And seeing that the entire atmosphere is getting depressing while the heartbreaking sound of cries echoed out, Shao Cheng has chosen to quietly leave the room, giving them their own space to interact their last remaining time with each other.

"Ah, I'm not really good with depressing stuff"

As soon as the young man in the river and lakes has also followed along, Shao Cheng has calmly glance at the person while calmly reaching to his chest and taking an item out before throwing it to the sighing young man.

"Hm? What is this for?"

"To cure the poison in your body."

Of course, I added some twist on it but you don't need to know about it.

"... you lied before and didn't fully cure me?"

Mu's expression quickly turned blanked as various thoughts flash in his mind which Shao Cheng has ignored before walking away and planning to stay in another place which is farther from the depressing room, of course not before leaving a shocking name that fully explains what the poison cure is for.

"Yimu."

"...! Sister Niu?"

Mu's eyes have quickly widened in shock and surprise before a loud exclaim escape his mouth before frantically running toward the disappearing back of the person that has quickly walked away.

Yes, after Shao Cheng has seen the young man with a different name and appearance in the night that causes him to become extremely furious, he has already figured out that the Mu before him and Yimu that has been fooling around in the red light district, the place where he has discovered Ma Suyin's hidden place was the same person the whole time.

"Damn! You really are that person???"

Since Shao Cheng has chosen to use Li Shi to become the bridge in order to have more understanding of the power in the river and lakes, he couldn't let this person die after knowing his true identity.

The River and Lakes

To Shao Cheng who is planning to usurp the throne in the future, well placing Ren Yuan on it, then he needed to have a deeper understanding of the other power in the Chang Empire because the Royal Courts always have a concern when it comes to the River and Lakes strength, which is also a potential hidden danger.

Somehow, Shao Cheng couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, although he already understands all the troublesome matters he needed to deal with is something that he needed to carry.

And yet, when Shao Cheng contemplates the Chang Empire problems, the rivel and lakes hidden troubles, the powerful enemies he needed to deal with when it concerns about the throne and the neighboring Empires ambition that might burst out, he can only let out another deep sigh.

I should consider a good reward for myself for example having fun at the expense of a certain someone's pain

In another place, Ren Yuan who is still awake despite how late the night is has suddenly let out a loud sneeze before anxiously catching up on the small bottle of medicine that he accidentally let go of while eyeing it in a thoughtful matter.

"... Oh, Little Cheng is definitely missing me again"

Xing Ning who was in the same room while completely busy dealing with the important document that a certain irresponsible someone supposed to do has openly roll his eyes.

"You sure are quite confident..."

Why is it always that young man remembering you whenever you sneeze? Don't you know how many people are thinking about you right now? Well mostly on how to beat you up and even planning to kill you in a torturous way...

"Heh, Ning, no need to be jealous. Whitey is definitely regretting giving me away to my Old Man! Although I wanted to go back but I decided to let him continue missing me for many more days! Or else he will tie me up again every single time someone comes looking for me!"
