"Oh yeah, your lover is absolutely insane that there is not even a single day that I didn't hear any news and scandal about him… my friend… you sure have an interesting taste…"

Shao Cheng that was about to leave while carrying a pacified Pinky that obediently stayed in his arms has halted from opening the door while his eyebrow wrinkled over thinking about a reason why everyone seemed to assumed that the two of them is in some sort of a romantic relationship.

"... don't speak such nonsense."

If that man is Shao Cheng lover, rather than staying outside to create chaos, that man would not be able to get out of bed so easily, so with a last chilly warning to the young man Shao Cheng has left, leaving a grinning PengFei that has touch his chin while showing certain interest in his eyes.

"Ah… such strong denial… well, it will be fun watching the two of you behave later on."

And with that for the rest of the time, Shao Cheng has just finished buying a bunch of rabbit wives to a satisfied and delighted Pinky in which he has let the person to send it over to the Shao Family after paying an extra fee.

"My Beautiful Master, you are so nice to Pinky! You will be eternally my favorite human!"

Roar!

"Of course, your Majesty Purple, you are the most special, majestic, and honorable creature that I ever laid my eyes on, such words are unable to describe your excellency."

Shao Cheng just inwardly sighs while gazing down at the flattering Pinky that continues to act coyly and adorable in his arm the entire time while feeling a breeze on top of his head as Purple continue to move his body while gazing down with a haughty manner.

He has a headache in his arm, another headache on top of his head, Shao Cheng seemed to have been meeting headache-inducing people in his new life.

And when Shao Cheng was calmly walking toward the merchant market which is next to the district of the restaurant area that he has been staying before while making sure not to let other people bump into him when the sound of rushing footsteps reach his ears that are soon followed a by flustered voices.

Turning around, Shao Cheng just calmly glances at the panic, flustered, and confuse people that seemed to be shouting in utter alarm, the entire scene looks so familiar that he has slowly blink his eyes since a nostalgic and familiar feeling emerges in his chest watching such commotion.

"Ah! Run! Run!"

"Everybody go Hide! The Craze Rascals Is Going Crazy Than Usual!"

"Ah! Quickly make way!"

Suddenly the person showing a more extreme reaction has abruptly pushed the confused two people that were in the way, which was quickly determined that it was a completely new people who don't have any idea on the usual happening in the Capital.

From what Shao Cheng observed the one that was pushed away was a brother and sister wearing a mask and veil which also appeared to be the children of a merchant.

The habit of perceived people's occupations and identity is one of the skills he learned in order to quickly figured out a person's status.

After all, no one wants to mistake a disguised influential, high official, and high-status people that have suddenly decided to roam outside, especially at the Capital because one mistake and blunder will either cause endless trouble and creating difficult adversaries.

It is one of the great dangers of living in Ancient times, especially when life can be taken so easily, precious life is basically like garbage that can easily be thrown away in this world, ah modern time, how Shao Cheng sometimes miss that place.

Roar!

"Um?"

As soon as Shao Cheng wanted to take a step back in order to get away from the chaos and even meet a certain person, the sudden warning of Purple has caused him to pause.

And in a split second, Shao Cheng has found himself quickly rushing off toward the two siblings that were about to get skewed by sharp swords and pikes that doesn't have their sheat on since the vendor seemed to be busy cleaning it up, making it shiny and preparing to arrange it to be shown with other people only to carelessly back away to safety because of the commotion.

Swish!

"Sister!"

In that sudden situation where the young man doesn't have the time to save his sister, the brother has admirably forcefully puller her sister's hand despite the fact that his stability becomes unbalance because of his certain action causing his life to be in danger now.

Before resolutely throwing the young woman away from danger, choosing to save the young woman's life than himself.

"Ah! Brother!"

Such unlucky siblings, Shao Cheng inwardly thought only to swiftly appeared at the young man that was about to be pierced by a rather sharp spear before quickly pulling him into his arm before twisting away causing his pure snow-white robe to smoothly sway in the air with his swift actions.

While trying hard to not throw the young man away as Purple continues to make a roaring sound in his mind causing Shao Cheng to lowered his gaze down before swiftly raising one of his hand on top of the young man's head.

And with the long wide snow-white sleeves fully covering the person's entire appearance from other people's view, Shao Cheng swiftly took out another mask inside his robe before putting it on the wide eyes shocked and frozen man.

"Ah! My Beautiful Master, please treat the adorable Pinky with more gentleness!"

Before using that same hand to catch the descending Pinky that Shao Cheng has thrown up high in the sky after the decision to save the two siblings in which would be a burden to his actions.

"... um…"

Suddenly hearing the young man confuse sound, Shao Cheng didn't react as he quickly places Pinky on top of his head causing Purple to let out a grumpy sound for a bit and without any hesitation, he has swiftly rushed to the side of the shock young woman before also pulling her into his arm and quickly running to a safe place when the sound of fighting resound out a few distances away from their spot.

And after finally arriving in the entrance of an alleyway while away from danger, Shao Cheng that was feeling so twitchy, uncomfortable, and restless for embracing someone he wasn't close to begin with has roughly let go of them before backing away and taking out a silk handkerchief to wipe his hands off while dusting his robes.

Three days of being unable to rest properly, a creepy obsessive woman stalking during night time, working hard on the fourth day, meeting someone that causes him a bit of stress and now this just has to happen.

Shao Cheng just arrived in the Capital and he was already being stress with all kinds of problems.

If it wasn't because of Purple sudden warning then there is no way that Shao Cheng will gallantly save those two siblings like some hero, especially after seeing the young man appearance that has cause the hair of the back of his neck to rise in dread in which has almost cause him to instinctively snapped the young man neck in a brutal manner.

Fuck… why does Purple inform him that this person is also just like his older brother, one of the key figures that will be helpful in the future Chang Empire?

Shao Cheng can understand the fundamental use and status of his older brother in the Chang Empire later on, but why is this person is also one of them?

This man is a terrifying assassin, or more likely the person that was known for to have an unimaginable vendetta against the Chang Empire aristocrat families, high official, and wealthy merchant that it doesn't matter which one he targeted since this person madness has no bottom line, killing anyone it has set his eyes on, innocent or not.

A moment ago it was the Little Devil, now Shao Cheng has to meet this person which was named the Illusive Treacherous Killer?

And this person is also a key figure? Well... Is it to kill all those corrupted people far quicker and easier with this person?

Why are all these headache-inducing people appearing so early on in Shao Cheng's new life? Besides, Shao Cheng only saw a precise painting of this person's appearance after finally being caught and executed in a tortured manner among the masses of people.

If Shao Cheng was the one who has dealt with the Little Devil in the previous life, then, later on, he has finally learned that the one who was able to catch this Illusive Treacherous Killer was Ren Yuan.

After all, this person has finally targeted the higher family after three years of being elusive which was the Prime Minister Family being among the list of targets.

And they were only able to finally get a clue after this person has failed to completely kill Ren Yuan Mother off because he was busy torturing her to slow death, which has died in three days after being rescued.

It truly wouldn't matter to Shao Cheng if this person becomes his allies, but his decision and judgment are being clouded at the image of Ren Yuan of the previous life that was showing an absolute heartache expression from losing his mother in such a cruel way that Shao Cheng decision is a bit chaotic and affected right now.

Even if it quickly dawned upon him that this young man right now seemed to have not become that person in the previous life yet but it was taking a bit of Shao Cheng's will just trying to not eradicate the person before him.

Shao Cheng knew that he was acting and being a hypocrite right now but he couldn't wholeheartedly ignore the people that will definitely cause Ren Yuan such pain, hardship, and difficulty in which this person is among one of them.

'... can I just kill him off? I don't mind receiving punishment from it…'

Shao Cheng's eyes becoming colder, detached, and downright murderous which rarely happened that he wanted someone's death so badly on a personal level, although there wasn't any killing intent leaking out in his body since he doesn't want to reveal what he inwardly desire.

'... Wicked man, calm down… besides, you couldn't fault him… don't forget… you have been like him too…'

'...!'

Although it was cruel for Purple to state about, however, it was an unquestionably an undisputed fact.

'Ah… I… understand…'

Tightly closing his eyes, Shao Cheng has taken a deep breath before finally leaving in order to cool off or else he will be doing something that he would like but isn't allowed to do while wanting to have a peace of mind when memories of his own sin and wrongdoing to Ren Yuan continuously flash his mind.
