With a bit of expectation, Shao Cheng could instantly tell that he failed about what he wanted when those waving dark eyes of Dai has instantly turned into its usual calm manner however he didn't the way that there is more shine into it now, which was completely different from how empty and dark it was when he first captured this man in the previous life.

The one on his memories is already a broken person… and this person before him isn't broken yet, so there is a high chance if he tried once more, Shao Cheng just appreciates people with great talent, and in his present situation, he needed people like Dai working for him.

But for now though since Dai is going to have great trouble with using his body to defending and attacking if he stays long enough for Shao Cheng to deal with him, then he doesn't mind capturing him once more.

Suddenly, his finger couldn't help but twitch at the thought of executing some discipline in order for this man to accept his term and proposal to work for him, a little bit of forceful method would do.

As for the reason why Dai is currently having a problem with his body, well, of course, it's all about Shao Cheng using some of the medicines he created because there was no way that he will never use his medicinal medical skill to deal with his enemies.

It was the most powerful, convenient, and useful tool to deal with the people he will target from now on, so why waste it?

Besides, when he has been dealing with Dai the whole time, Shao Cheng has been using the long wide sleeves that have been swaying around with every single movement of his to secretly sprinkling powder drugs during the fight.

It wasn't a poison though since the entire area isn't just filled with just his enemy alone, Shao Cheng doesn't want to accidentally kill his allied people when his older brother is watching him.

Swish!

However, without any warning, Shao Cheng was a bit far away to be able to stop Dai next actions as his sapphire pupils constricted when he saw the young man has taken out some item inside his robe before lighting it up with a spark of his internal energy that soon causes the object to instantly flew up high.

Boom!

A flash of red light suddenly blooms fleetingly in the wide expanses of the dark sky that shone along with the numerous shining stars.

It was signal function, alerting any nearby allies, which also can be used to ask for help or wanting more reinforcement to come and determining their target locations.

From the start, Shao Cheng has been suspicious of everything that is happening, especially when there were only a few people to deal with Shao Yan while the said leader was such idiotically selfish and greedy person with his actions

And for that kind of person to try and deal with Shao Yan when his older brother was the outstanding heir of the Shao Family and the most talented member in the entire family regarding in the military arts, then there was just something wrong about everything or their Shao Family are being underestimated.

Which is ridiculous and idiotic move, after all, going against the Shao Family is something that no aristocrat family will easily try to do, especially confronting and becoming their enemies with such a powerful family, at least, not so plainly just like what is currently happening before them.

However, Shao Chen can easily tell that this attack isn't just a simple one.

This assault was designed to begin and produce the start of the Shao Family collapsed in power and status.

And not just anyone is daring and deceptive enough to do this unless a person has a perfectly strong and powerful backing for them to even do such a thing or a person in higher up has decided to finally deal with the power, authority, and status that the Shao Family has.

But since this is an intended attack that has been meticulously planned, then its definitely a person in higher up, and when he glanced at the young man once more, a flash of memories emerged on his mind, causing his eyes to freeze more coldly.

Flickering the blade on his hand to remove the blood upon it, Shao Cheng eyes narrowed down as he gazes upon the young man standing before him.

"This is your answer?"

Dai that has been quiet the entire time while gripping his injured shoulder has tilted his head to the side while his calm dark eyes flashed with something before answering in a calm voice and then running away with his fastest speed, knowing fully well that he can no longer stay in this place anymore.

Because not only was the drugs have a surprising effect on his body, but when his eyes took a glance around the place, he was able to comprehend that his main target to kill isn't vulnerable anymore while the drug-free soldiers were trying to secretly surround him.

The entire time Shao Cheng just stands still without making a single move to try and keep the man to remain in the same place while the words that the young man has spoken rang clear on his ears.

"Survive first… if you are able to remain alive after all of this ordeal, then you will have the right to speak and ask me once again, for now though, good luck."

Letting out a sigh, Shao Cheng tense body has finally relaxed a bit which causes him to sway sideways while his footstep was a bit unsteady while the sweats on his forehead flowed down into his cheek, chin and into the ground.

"Cheng!"

In a flash, Shao Cheng found his body being steady by his older brother's hands that have quickly appeared on his side, and despite it all, he was unable to stop himself from flinching at the mere touch of Shao Yan over his body while trying to ignored the sudden stillness on his older brother grip, knowing that the man has surely felt the way he has reacted toward him.

Because no matter how much Shao Cheng was trying, he still dislikes touching other people as long as he doesn't have to.

Shao Cheng couldn't help but wonder why he felt so comfortable and relax when it comes to Ren Yuan, and somehow he couldn't stop himself from wishing and wanting that the older man was here by his side right now.

I wonder how he is doing right now? Before releasing a deep sigh when those thoughts flash on his mind, Shao Cheng just doesn't understand himself anymore when it comes to Ren Yuan, everything becomes so confusing and chaotic when it's all related to him.

"What's wrong? Third Brother speak to me!"

"Um just… a bit tired…"

More likely exhausted, especially with his mind since he has been concentrating with utmost focus the entire time that he started fighting before decided to lean his body over to his older brother and closing his eyes for a tiny bit.

And Shao Yan seeing the weak status of Shao Cheng has carefully and mindfully wrapped his arms around his third brother's body, feeling extreme relief when he wasn't pushed away by his sudden bold move.

At least Shao Cheng is getting better, as for what happened and what he just witnesses, Shao Yan is far more worried about his third brother well being than anything else, besides, isn't his third brother so excellent, outstanding and impressive?

"Yan we have to go now! More people are going to be arriving soon!"

Suddenly Yu Qin that has already managed to prepare everyone that was still alive has walked over to Shao Yan's side, while trying to discreetly glance warily and in awe at the person on Yan's arms.

Damn, what did Yan imply to be a delicate and fragile younger brother? This person is obviously a monster on his own right!

However, Yu Qin lip thins up before speaking in a tight voice, his eyes swirling with confusion, helplessness, and uncertainty, basically, a mixture of anger and pity when he remembers the most important matter right now.

"Yan, how do we deal with Gao?"

Although everyone can understand the reason why Gao has done it yet it doesn't' change the fact that he tried to betray them even if he has never managed to do it in actions but it was still unacceptable.

Suddenly Shao Yan that has carried his tired brother on his arms, glance at the surrounded Gao that was also healed up already while wearing a remorseful and despairing expression on his face the entire time, his shoulder slump with a defeated resignation.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Shao Yan's dark blue eyes hardened, a decision has been made before turning around and running into certain directions on his mind.

"For now take him along with us, after this is all over, he wouldn't be part of us anymore, this is all that I can deliver for everything that he has done so far, whatever happen next is all up on his hands and decision. For now, though, let's go deep into the forest, we have better chance of surviving inside than outside the open area where there is definitely an ambush already prepared."

With a sigh, Yu Qin started commanding the people with what they needed to do while they hid in a safe place from the people that were currently after them, knowing fully well that everything would be extremely hard as they kept themselves alive from their enemies.

While Shao Cheng that has been quiet the entire time remains silent, although he couldn't help but curiously gaze at Yu Qin when a well trained and a special bird has appeared before then and watching as the man places a piece of paper upon it before letting it fly high up.

Soon, Shao Cheng was able to finally learn about what the man has done after Yu Qin has finally figured out what his cold stare meant was.

"I… asked an acquaintance of mine to help us, at least, he got some people around here that will quickly get my letter, we just need to survive long enough for them to arrive and help us deal with the current problem."
