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

Chapter 232: Shao Cheng Obediently Following Ren Yuan Order. "... Your New Name Will Be..."

"Little Cheng, stay in here and I'll just quickly check if my people already got all the items I wanted to give to you! I'll be back soon! So behave and make sure not to push yourself while I'm gone!"

Shao Cheng nodded his head after being guided over to take a sit in a comfortable chair in one of the private room he has prepared for Xiaolin to use while training his medicinal skills, of course, he also made sure that even a skilled person in their field of study wouldn't understand what kind of ominous and dreadful training he was teaching his personal servant.

After all, everyone knew how fearsome a poison expert is, and Shao Cheng doesn't want any of their enemy knowing what ability and talent he is capable of.

It's always better to keep some of the skills hidden.

Shao Cheng prefers to be underestimated and disregards rather than letting other people always keeping their guard up while inspecting what he is always up to.

"I'm already alright."

only injured internal organs fortunately his father didn't manage to perceive his injuries.

"Little Cheng, you know, I already learned that I couldn't trust your words when it comes to yourself alright? So be obedient while I'm gone oh, let me also prepare everything you needed before I go."

Shao Cheng's eyes flickered to the busy man checking if the temperature in the entire room is good before placing a prepared snack in one of the table use when taking a break and the tea set needed to be utilized anytime he wants to drink a hot tea or water.

And what Ren Yuan has place was the herbal mix tea Shao Cheng has written in a paper before, which was something the man has insisted on while praising that he was better than other talented doctors the man knows off.

Well, Shao Cheng has already given the same herbal mix tea with precise measures to his Mother Yanmei after checking her health, which is something she will also serve every day to drink after breakfast.

After all, the herbal tea isn't only good for a person who has just gotten well from a high fever but it also helps to keep a person from easily getting a cold during wintertime.

Although Ren Yuan can be thoughtful if he really wanted to, it's just too bad that he rarely does it and prefers to wreak havoc and causing annoyance, well it is entertaining and amusing once in a while but still, the man also finds it amusing aside from using it to fake his image.

"Alright! Brother Yuan will go now! After all, I have to completely make sure that I got you the very best! After all, my precious friend Whitey needs to be treated extra special!"

"Hmm.. come back safe."

"Aww~ Little Cheng becoming more honest and open! Were you touch by Brother Yuan loving care? Don't worry, aside from those hidden Master or older people with years of experience, no one can beat me! Just wait until I grow stronger, and I'll take you with me to beat those famous Martial art Masters!"

Shao Cheng wanted to roll his eyes at the overwhelming self-confidence the man is showing, although he believes his words, after all, Ren Yuan has become one of the famous Master in the previous life and was far talented than he was.

Or else, Shao Cheng wouldn't have trouble beating him up to death and always making him run away.

"Alright, I'm gone. Later~"

Shao Cheng has remained calm even when Ren Yuan has swiftly walked to stand to where he was sitting before patting his head like he was a good child, especially when the man grey pupils are brimming with clean genuine smiles and emotion.

After watching Ren Yuan finally left while sensing his presence disappearing in the entire living quarter, Shao Cheng has slowly raised his hand to touch where the man has patted while remembering the honest and clear emotion in those charming grey eyes that doesn't show any romantic emotions.

"... well, I am still physically 16 years old"

Shao Cheng is an underage person in Ren Yuan's eyes, which is also being used as some sort of restriction and control for whatever deep and complicated emotions the man might become suddenly enlightened with.

Because unlike the ancient time in Shao Cheng memory where a fourteen years old is already deemed an adult and ready to create a family, eighteen years old is the minimum requirement of where a person can officially start preparing for his future.

Although, there are still some people who start early in this world, be it accidental or they already planning it.

Fortunately, the female population also has more freedom of choice and isn't frowned upon if they couldn't marry early in their early years, which is now something Shao Cheng felt grateful for, after all, he has three sisters to properly take care of in this life, especially with what happened in the previous life.

Shao Cheng Older Sister, Shao Yao is already nineteen years old, a year younger than their older brother Yan, and has miserable marriage life in the previous life, she was abuse and coldly treated by her husband after the Shao Family has fallen off in power where other families wouldn't worry and fear too much in being retaliated.

Then there is Shao Yanlin, seventeen years old this year, her death is mysterious and obscure since it happened while she was out wandering outside the Capital, she was missing for almost a year before her dead body was found floating in a lake, which is completely bloated and unrecognizable, and only using the special identity jade every noble member carry to tell her identity.

And lastly, Shao Chia, the youngest child, and the person among the sibling Shao Cheng dislike the most in the previous life which is also the first person who died a miserable death a few months after Shao Yan was ambushed, the start of their family breaking apart.

It was also the first year where he has stayed outside the Capital after transmigrating in the world with the help of Huang Ya who has sent him to a place to peacefully stay, so he didn't know much about what happened, especially when his family has tried hard to hide it from him, only thinking of protecting him from the entire sitaution. 

As for why Shao Cheng didn't get back in the Capital, unlike his new life, well, he is quite wary of the world he arrives and wasn't too excited or curious as most people usually react in the story he once read.

Shao Cheng has wanted to seriously learn more deeply about what kind of person of the identity he was using and what kind of world he is going to be living. 

Although Shao Cheng has still underestimated the ancient people slyness and scheming, completely giving his trust and favor to Huang Ya who was only ten years old child, especially after learning her difficulty and trouble with a strict family, easily getting his pity and brotherly instinct.

If Huang Ya was the person who truly saves him in the previous life, there wasn't too much regret in how Shao Cheng has treated her with love and care, even the cause of his death would only be seen as the consequences of his wrong choice of people to trust and giving his loyalty with.

However, after arriving in the new life once again, some secret details and information he didn't know before are slowly revealing itself, causing him to feel how utterly foolish and stupid he has been if it were really Ren Yuan who has saved himself in the previous life.

After having the skill to penetrate a person's mind and seeing some of their memories, later on, Shao Cheng should probably check Huang Ya to completely figure out the entire situation, after all, didn't he meet Huang Ya in the same location, albeit not in the same town even in this new life?

Shao Cheng has the feeling that he might find the answer he was looking for after trying out his power to check Huang Ya's mind, although, he will also need to observe her first before acting out.

"... well, life is really unpredictable... there will be a time that one would miss an extremely important key point in one life, causing the entire situation to become completely different from what supposed to happen isn't that right Dai?"

Shao Cheng flickers his long sleeves before standing up to waled toward the table where numerous dry herbs were already taken out before sitting down and patiently grinding some of the dry herbs in a small roller mill meant for medical use.

"... Young Master Cheng for saving our family of three I am eternally grateful! This humble servant will faithfully serve you even at the cost of my life. So, please command me all you want."

Suddenly, a slender figure dress in black robes while having a black mask covering half of his face has swiftly appeared inside the room before kneeling down on one knee with a humble and respectful posture while his always straight back easily bending over just for the young man who is quietly grinding medicinal herbs.

"... Do you remember what I said before? Although I'll do my best to be a worthy Master but it doesn't mean I can completely protect your lives. In a noble family, especially the Shao, everyone is constantly in danger, be it in a fit of jealously of other people or just simply desiring to cause trouble and destruction. Dai, any one of us can die anytime."

Dai has slowly raised his head while his usually calm and steady eyes are brimming with dazzling light which was full of devotion and resolution to serve the person who has saved them from walking in a difficult life that only has a high chance of having a miserable ending.

"The life we have is already far better than how we live in the Ma Family. Young Master Cheng, we already understood that there isn't an easy way of life, everyone will have to face difficulty and troubles even once in their life. And Young Master Cheng is the person who has given us a new chance, which is another way to survive in this world."

Shao Cheng's eyes flickered at the person still kneeling in the ground before returning in concocting the medicinal drugs with his shoulder relax although there wasn't any change in his cold expression despite how faithful and sincere the person is displaying.

"As long as you remember it just follow my Brother side and guard his life. However, save him only when he truly needs it."

After all, Shao Cheng doesn't want to baby his older brother, facing hardship and difficulty would be good for him, struggling and overcoming any circumstances is the key to success and will help him survive this cruel world.

"I have written some books for you to learn to be of great help to my Older Brother, which is in Xiaolin hands and Dai starting today, you will be called Xiaodan just like I have spoken to your younger brother, it will be the start of your new life, a new beginning."

"! Ah, I am utterly grateful."

"I'll inform older Brother that you will be gone for a few days. So, go and reunite with your family."

"... thank you"

After a sincere bow, Dai no Xiaodan has quickly left, in which Shao Cheng has easily able to sense the desperate and frantic atmosphere in the young man's body, for once, losing his control and unable to control his entire emotions.

Well, it's understandable, after all, Shao Cheng felt the same way after arriving in his new life, another chance, a better future, a chance to protect the people he wanted to save.

"... how nice to have a genuine family affection."

Fortunately, Shao Cheng can honestly and sincerely experience it in his new life without feeling and seeing it as unimportant, which has caused the corner of his lip to lift up into a small smile before continuing on with making medicinal drugs.

"... hmm today seemed to be a quiet and peaceful day"
