The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time Chapter 17
Advertisement
"Wait! You! Where are you going? Urghh… anyway, Peng Pao! This time, you are crossing the line! Remember your place! You don't have any right to act that way to Ren Yuan guest, even if you don't like him, it doesn't allow you to treat him that way. Control yourself more!"
Soon, after reprimanding with harsh words at the gloomy Peng Pao that was currently showing dark look on his eyes which the blue robe young man has easily ignored since that has always been his friend reaction from usual, albeit darker this time though, but right now, he turned around and instantly has gone to follow along the back of the leaving young man in white robe.
Damn, he knows that his friend Peng Pao personality of not easily liking any new person is bad, but this time Peng Pao is reacting in an unbelievable manner than usual and the way he treats the young amnesic man seemed to be more terrible than anyone else that he has done in the past, really what is wrong with his friend?
"Sigh… how should I explain this to Ren Yuan when he gets back? Even he could tell how he treat that young amnesic man a bit more different with unbelievable tolerance than anyone else they have known so far."
Mumbling those words while inwardly shaking his head, Tian Ying has finally managed to arrive next to the walking younger man which was rather beautiful despite how thin and small he was now that Ying observed him closely.
"Hey, Whitey! Wait up!"
With a cheery expression on his handsome face, Tian Ying began to make a nice conversation at the walking young man since he has been quite curious about this Whitey for a while now, after all, they can only watch hiddenly and secretly the entire time because of Ren Yuan's order of not getting close to the young man, seemingly afraid to scare him once again from the trust issue that happen a while ago.
Really, that Ren Yuan caring about someone? Even if he couldn't help but wonder if the world is about to end soon.
It was that Ren Yuan he was talking about, after all, the person who has the 'I do whatever I want' 'I fear no one' 'No one can stop me' and 'I am the best' atmosphere showing all over his body.
Why does this person make it look like it was easy to get along with the brazen and overconfident Ren Yuan that most people want to beat him up to death even though they are unable to do it despite desperately wanting to?
So Tian Ying has been extremely curious about it and now that Ren Yuan is out to do some important stuff himself, it was his chance to interact with this person!

However, when Tian Ying dreams about having at least a nice conversation at the young amnesic man, ice-cold sapphire eyes without any warmth within it have just calmly glance his way in a split second before turning back to stare ahead, however that simple normal move has instantly made his body tense up while the friendly smile on his freeze over.
"Don't follow me. And you are not allowed to call me 'Whitey' only one person can call me that."
Tian Ying, mouth open and close, seemingly unable to form any right words, his eyes wide with shock and surprise about how cold this person was currently treating him to be.
Where is that annoying but fun young man that he has been seeing before? The childish and playful person? And sometimes obedient and lovable?
Those cold eyes are just so full of indifference and calmness, a gaze which saw everything around him as nothing but a speck of dust that isn't worth paying attention to, where most people just aren't worth his time.
All of the expressions perfectly combining and blending with each other that it was showing as a natural disposition of the young man and wasn't something that was being acted to just show to other people.
Tian Ying should display a mad expression but he remains frozen, unable to continue walking anymore while helplessly watching the disappearing back of the young man in a white robe, as this person suddenly reminds him of Ren Yuan in that single moment.
Their two figures overlapping with a terrifying perfect fit that Tian Ying let out a loud groan of horror because he suddenly can ascertain that this person is also dangerous in his own way and the same kind of terrible deadliness that Ren Yuan has.
"Oh heaven… there is another one that exists…"
Tian Ying is really naive to think, that a person that was capable to get along extremely well with a difficult and dangerous person such as Ren Yuan will be a normal and simple individual.
So with a chill on his back, while a cold sweat appears on his forehead, a wry smile and alert eyes appear on his expression as he stares at the distance where the youth in white robe has just disappeared from.
"Ah… I seemed to predict… that this person will turn their life upside down, I can just sense it happening in the future."
Although, luckily, it seemed that he wasn't the main focus of the chaotic storm that this man will cause unconsciously or not later on.
"Phew… Ren Yuan, you are the one who picks up this dangerous guy, so it's going to be your responsibility, alright?"
He will just watch the fun in the sideline later on and as Tian Ying thought about that certain idea, he suddenly felt so cheerful about his friend oncoming trouble while letting out a delighted chuckle at his friend's oncoming misfortune and disaster before turning around and walking in another direction.

Shao Cheng who finally shooed away the annoying young man in blue-robe who has the courage to try to call him 'Whitey' when he will only allow Ren Yuan to call him with that name, has finally arrived at a certain Elder Lee locations.
After finally learning about the reason why Ren Yuan has gone out from the elder man, although, with vague words since he wasn't really trusted by the people in the residence, Shao Cheng could inwardly sigh with a bit of gloom on it.
Irritating man would be taking a bit of your time to come and directly tell me that you're going out so difficult things to do?
Shao Cheng couldn't help but wonder if all his progress in feeding him was a waste of his time the entire time?
That guy doesn't have any conscience at all.
However, despite inwardly complaining Shao Cheng's sapphire eyes couldn't help but flash a troubled look as he stares in the faraway distance while his instinct couldn't help but make him feel uncomfortable when he thinks about it.
Nothing bad will happen, right? That man is so evil, that he will live a long life…
Wait… did he just set up a death flag?
Shaking his head at the ridiculous thought, Shao Cheng turned around not forgetting to secretly steal some medicine herbs when the Elder Lee wasn't paying attention, which is just the right amount so he wouldn't be suspicious about it.
Since there is nothing else to do than read some book while the irritating man that he was trying to conquer by winning his stomach has run off to who knows where Shao Cheng would just pass his time preparing some hidden protection for his life, after all, he has a rather weak body even though he could push it beyond its limit when the time comes for it but he prefers not to do that.
Soon, the sky has finally turned dark into night time, while feeling still weak from the fever he has suffered, Shao Cheng decided to take a rest early for today, shutting the candlelight out from his resting room before slowly closing his eyes.
And when the rest of people has slowly started to go back into their own room to sleep, in a secret place, a young man with chaotic eyes hold a certain bird on his hands which was a bit unsteady, while his body is emitting an aura of being lost, confuse and anxious as he just standstill in the darkness without moving once bit, his eyebrows frowning seemingly finding it hard to decide about a certain important matter.
However, when the images of what happened the early morning, especially when he was reprimanded by his friend because of a new person that has just appeared out of nowhere, it seemed that memories have finally let him overcome his doubt and has become decisive with his decision.
Soon, the bird flew out in the night sky, some of the hidden guards that have been hiding saw the animal in the sky, which they were able to recognize that it was the usual bird that their Master usually use to communicate so they have just let it fly past over, especially when there is that familiar mark use by the follower of their master.
Shao Cheng that has been sleeping softly, couldn't help but frown on his sleep when he suddenly felt a strong force trying to pull him strongly and fiercely despite how hard he tried to resist, and soon, as it felt like something has grabbed his body up high, sapphire eyes swiftly open wide which cause it to widen in surprise when he suddenly found himself floating up high in the sky during night time.
And when Shao Cheng looks down, he could see his transparent body once again, which was his spirit or more precisely his soul that seemed to have purple energy encompassing his entire body, however, before he can observe more about his current situation while doubting if he died once again without knowing about it, suddenly in his sapphire eyes, there was some white mist energy that went out from the land underneath him before surrounding his body in a rather intimate way.
The entire time, Shao Cheng only felt goodwill and great affection from the energy that felt so familiar like they have a special connection with each other, which suddenly make him remind the words of the High Priestess in the previous life.
Land… land… that white mist came underneath the earth itself.
If everything that has life within it has some sort of life energy within then… is this… the Chang Empire's own 'soul' or 'entity'?
With his sapphire eyes widen at the surprising idea that comes into his mind, the white mist has suddenly twisted and spread in a certain direction which he turns his attention to.
In a flash, Shao Cheng suddenly found himself appeared at a dangerous group of people brimming with hidden evil intent in their entire being that was currently secretly and quietly moving ahead.
Which he turned at the direction of where they are about to go, causing his lip to form a gentle smile while sapphire eyes turning cold and terrible, after all, this group of dangerous people sneaking in the middle of the night was currently traveling to Ren Yuan residence which is the place where he was currently staying at.
"Oh? This is rather interesting."

8 170Return of Chaos
For the longest time, it was thought that the citizens of Earth were the only denizens of the galaxy incapable of developing superhuman abilities — but recent events have flipped that assumption on its head. Between Austin Travis, Mote Emerson, Pierce Bradley, and their friends, Earth is now host to 12 Chaotics… as well as a myriad of mysteries surrounding them. From a new nemesis in the form of a clone, to connections to ancient technology from a long-lost civilization, to the ability to summon powerful legendary weapons, these 12 Chaotics have unknowingly become entangled in something larger than any of them have ever imagined. As if in response to these discoveries, the sinister machinations of galactic evil are churning. The metallic infection, a calamitous nanotechnology “disease” thought to have been vanquished 20 years ago, is slowly returning — and alongside it, a number of conflicts thought to be long past. While they only seek to better grasp their own abilities, Earth’s Chaotics will soon find themselves in the crossfire of returning threats and old heroes. These superpowered Earthians may not have chosen this path through life, but it will still be up to them to determine if history remembers them — to determine if history remembers the saga of the Keys. Return of Chaos is a direct sequel to Chosen Chaos, which begins the Key Saga novel series. Be sure to read Chosen Chaos first, to understand the plot and the characters thus far! Additionally, the Key Saga as a whole takes place 20 years after Rise. You will not need to read Rise to understand the events of Return of Chaos, however the latter will spoil many of the events that occurred in Rise, due to the simple chronology of taking place later in the timeline.
