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

Laying down in the bed while his entire body covered up with a blanket, Shao Cheng once again observed his present body as his hands grip the thin arms, right now he was back at being a 16 years old youth once again causing a deep sigh to be let out form his mouth.

Once more, Shao Cheng has to start all over again.

First, he needs to raise his body health because of the previous Cheng eating issue where he only eats a small amount of food while not minding over the fact that he wasn't getting enough nutrients from it as long he felt full, while the stamina, endurance, and resistance also need to be trained once again.

He was just thankful enough that his current body has been taught in the way of fighting with the use of internal energy before the previous Shao Cheng attitude has greatly changed regarding any combat, killing, and violence because of an event in the past that has led a young child to start disliking any kind of words that greatly associated with the word fighting.

This is rather ironic as the Shao Family who is in military and scholar lineage is currently more leaning toward the military side in their current generation, it was probably the reason why the Shao Family was finally been scheme and defeated in Shao Cheng generation in the past.

Although Shao Cheng has the ability to handle those scheming families with bad intentions and talent to become a high official in court in the past, it was just so unfortunate that he was indifferent toward his family, so everything has easily fallen apart.

But not this time though, as he thought about what happened to the Shao Family, Shao Cheng's eyes turned cold while gently smiling which was the expression that has caused everyone to fear and respect the name 'Shao Cheng'.

And well, the original Shao Cheng was also a rather particular person, he was like a living person but dead inside, that is why it was easy for 'Shao Cheng' to become him because no one really know him deeply while also having the memories was a bit more helpful to live as the present Shao Cheng.

Especially when the previous Shao Cheng either always keeping himself shut to his own living quarter that is farther away from the rest of his family that mainly live in the Chang Capital or preferring to mostly go out to drift from one place to another which lead to the original Shao Cheng drowning, as for the supposed guard of his, well for a person that hate any form of fighting, one could imagine how that will turn out with having a hidden guard even though it was all for his protection.

It was just unfortunate enough that the previous Shao Cheng was rather talented and skilled in disappearing, leaving his hidden guard while he travels alone before the hidden guard managed to finally tracked him down again.

Really, even he was surprised how this person has survived for so long.

Even he doesn't know how to regard the previous Shao Cheng personality.

But for now, as his stomach make a rumble, that porridge food isn't enough for him, especially for a young man that is currently in his growing state thus, just like what Shao Cheng has done when he was a ghost, he slowly closes his eyes and sense his surrounding, although everything has been covered with snow, there is always life energy around him, this land is brimming with it, however, most of it was currently lying dormant, like in a hibernation because of it being a wintertime.

And when he senses the people that are currently secretly surrounding his living area, Shao Cheng can only let out a wry smile while lying down the soft bed cover with a thick blanket.

Although he has already sensed it a long time ago because of the ability of the original Shao Cheng, rather than the power he was given, Shao Cheng still felt considerably uncomfortable for the lack of trust that Ren Yuan has toward him.

Rather than believing that the people outside were guarding him in order to protect his safety, Shao Cheng believes that he was being watched just in case he does something dangerous and threatening, as for being amnesic young man, base from what he knows about Ren Yuan personality, he wasn't a person that trust people that easily despite how easy and friendly he seemed from the outside.

Once again, he was reminded that in this entire world, no one can really understand him, the same emotion he felt after first transmigrated into this world as everything felt so surreal and unreal, but this time it was entirely different because at least Shao Cheng has some purpose to do this time around.

Unlike in the past that he only got his motivation after meeting the young Chang Pei that look and react the exact way as his only precious family and younger brother, this time, he wants to do more about the other people that he failed to properly take care of that has deserved it better than the one he treasured in his previous life.

However, when he felt the hidden people around him once again Shao Cheng couldn't help but cover half of his face with his hand, while the sapphire eyes were hidden within it, turning dark and cloudy.

Really, in this entire world, the one person that can affect his mood greatly is Ren Yuan, this man is definitely been born as his nemesis.

As for being fated lover that the High Priestess Jiayi has spoken before, Shao Cheng has already long stored and hidden those memories deep within his mind.

So fated lover, what is that?

However, at the thought of this person being the one who has saved him when he was drowning and wasn't Huang Ya this time, Shao Cheng could figure out a bit of what happened if he compares this life and the previous one, but he needed to make sure first if this time was different because of rebirth or something he has missed in his previous life as Shao Cheng.

He will probably figure it out later on if he goes back toward the town that he has drown himself with since from what he remembers, Huang Ya and he have stayed in that town for a quite a while after he was rescued and while figuring out about his new life.

And also because of the weather being colder and longer than from what happened in the past few years that it has snow in the Chang Empire.

So, Shao Cheng couldn't help but deeply think about a plan on how to get Ren Yuan to trust him enough to not become enemies in this life because this time, Ren Yuan doesn't have the kind of trust and believe that he has in their previous life, even though Shao Cheng knew that he didn't even do anything to deserve it and decided that it was just Ren Yuan being weird about it but for the sake of the two of them, Shao Cheng needed to be the active one between them.

At least, fighting, scheming and trying to kill each other, Shao Cheng doesn't want a repeat of their previous life this time around, it will be great if they can become the closest friend where they trust each other with their life because, despite not wanting to accept it, but Shao Cheng already has that kind of belief toward Ren Yuan from the long years of following and watching him.

Even though Ren Yuan isn't the one in his previous life, but it matter not, as his promise from before, Shao Cheng will follow him this time and will treat it as a new life.

As he scheme and planned for their future friendship, Shao Cheng removes the blanket over his body while getting down from his bed, and as soon as he wears proper clothes, he sneaks out from his room with the use of the window while leaving the 'fake' sleeping guard standing outside his door as he stealthily walk to a certain direction.

And after Shao Cheng was gone, one of the hidden guards has quickly left while the rest has secretly followed along with the disappearing back of the young man wearing a white robe.

In a certain living quarter of the large residence, a person that has been sleeping before, quietly and calmly listen as the hidden guard accurately reports about what he has observed so far from the order that he has been given with.

After being dismissed, the young man wearing a loose black sleeping robe expression becomes blank, peach blossom grey eyes becoming deep and dark with unfathomable emotion within it, making the people unable to guess what is currently running in that mind of his.

"... ah… and here I thought that I will have some fun in this past few days…"
