The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time Chapter 169
Advertisement
"... to think I'll meet you again like this...you still have some luck in you."
Shao Cheng didn't want to let this person become utterly suspicious of his appearance especially after arriving in the nick of time, even though this person wasn't the one in his memory but it is still the fact that he was facing the one that can cause the Chang Empire to a chaotic and fearful state with his existence alone.
Besides, Shao Cheng also needed to hide the fact that it was entirely coincidence meeting him in this place, and so he only silently took out some of his hidden medicine before throwing it to the young man that showed a bewildered expression that has quickly change into an understanding look after seeing his indifferent eyes that remain cold and waveless.
"Your choice to use it."
"W-Wait!"
The moment that Shao Cheng was about to turn around in an act of leaving has secretly allowed the young man to hastily grabbed his clothes.
"P-Please help me!"
"Why?"
Yes, Shao Cheng needed a reason to save the young man unlike how he dealt with Dai and Dale before because this person has entirely different circumstances especially when the two of them don't have any involvement, after all, this is the second time that they are meeting with each other.
Besides, Shao Cheng that couldn't completely trust anyone in the previous life has already become used of requiring something to use against a person that he was going to be interacting with.
It was in order to hold, control, or restrained them because Shao Cheng could quickly receive their loyalty base from gratefulness alone or either owing him such great favor that they will have a low chance of betraying or leaving his side to others.
Honestly, righteous people are easier to control and deal with because Shao Cheng could easily figure out what they will do after knowing what is their bottom line in life, and although he could also calculate a wicked person thought process, but they are far more dangerous to deal with since they have the chance of becoming unpredictable in a dangerous level.
Moreover, Shao Cheng isn't a person that will help someone base by kindness alone because the way he dealt with solving all the problems was leading more to the darkest side rather than the positive side of the human nature.
Wickedness, slyness, evilness, vileness, and other ruthless method fit him better, and honestly, in the Empire where corrupted is thick and running rampant, an indecisive and compassionate people are the first people to lost or meet a miserable death.
Shao Cheng will only show compassion and kindness to the people that matter more in which this young man isn't one in the lists that he already has in mind.
And the young man was able to easily understand his entire situation with that simple question alone that meant he was just a mere stranger that was accidentally saved twice now, so the important question now is what the young man can offer that worth so much in order for him to deal with consequences of saving his life.

"I will do anything for you! No matter what it was! All I care about is the well being of my loved one! So please, I beg of you, as long as you help me, no matter what you asked me for, I'll gladly do it. Even if you wanted my life, I'll give it to you!"
He was in his last straw, even if he can treat his injuries and was able to escape today hunt but surviving later would be hard because it doesn't change the fact that there isn't anyone he knows in the Capital.
And the one he is associated in the Capital has ruthlessly turned their back against them because of profit, power, and status.
There is also the fact that his father doesn't know that the closest people he has given his trust to take care of his children while he follows the Capital after dealing with the problem at home has betrayed them!
Especially when there is still his younger sister dangerous situation that he could only leave somewhere while hoping she will be able to escape while he leads most of the people to hunt him down remain unknown.
Revenge, he wanted revenge for their betrayal! And he could even do it if he was given a chance because rather than direct confrontation, he was more skillful in silently dealing with people.
However, everything is not too late, his younger sister and father are still alive, so right now, he needed to survive in order to keep his loved one safe or else all of them will meet a miserable ending.
So even if he has to sell himself to this person right now doesn't matter one bit! Moreover, when he gazes at the young man that has turned around to gaze down at him with a deep profound eyes, somehow he could accept the fact that he will serve this person for his entire life later on.
"I see…"
Shao Cheng can only speak those words out while gazing at Purple that has suddenly appeared between the young man and himself, especially when he felt the connection that has just silently created a moment ago.
This explained how completely serious and determined the young man with his word was to the point that Purple has to appeared to witness and accept the pledge toward him.
Shortly, Shao Cheng, indifferent eyes abruptly flash with coldness before quickly pulling the young man into his arms and swiftly disappearing in his spot that was soon replace with the images of numerous dagger stabbing on the exact location of where he stood before.
"Alright, I accept it."
Without glancing at the person in his arm that has taken a tight grip upon his robes, Shao Cheng has narrowed his eyes when a group of people has suddenly appeared in the dark alleyway and swiftly surrounding him with murderous intention rising around them.
And without even deeming to speak a single word out, the group of people has swiftly attack Shao Cheng with the purpose of quickly taking his life, it was completely different from the chatty and noisy black clothes person he killed before.

Surveying the group of people that is attacking him at the same time, Shao Cheng has narrowed his eyes before swiftly slipping through the unknown space that was created by their operations.
At the same time, his right hand has quickly grasped the hidden dagger that has slipped from inside his long sleeves before decisively stabbing through the back of the person's neck as he bypasses the closest person before him.
And as soon as his feet landed in the ground, Shao Cheng has twirl his body around and quickly leaping to another unprepared person and stabbing through his heart this time before turning the dagger sideways and dragging it away in which he has completely sliced through the person's chest like butter rather than skin, meat, organ, and bones.
And as soon as the sprinkle of blood and other parts of a human body has floated in the air when the dagger leaves the person body, Shao Cheng has twirl the dagger in his hand and swiftly throwing it to the person coming on his left, instantly piercing the person's forehead and causing immediate death.
At the same time that the dagger has left his right hand, Shao Cheng has already stamped his feet in the ground and jumped backward which has easily evaded the sword that was slash in his way while using his long sleeves to swiftly blocked the dagger thrown his ways while secretly taking a replacement from the one he loses and hiding it inside his long sleeves once more.
And when Shao Cheng body was on top of the person that has slashed the sword on his unprotected back, he has opened widely open his palm before using his slender fingers to tightly grip the person's head and easily twisting it without any hesitation causing the sound of the broken bone cracking to resound out at the dark alley.
Soon, Shao Cheng uses swift actions and excellent calculation with every single attack he made that doesn't waste a single movement to cause a person to repeatedly drop dead in the ground.
And after a few more minutes, every single person that has appeared was finally dealt with by just using Shao Cheng's right hand since his other hand was tightly holding a person against his body that has even caused Purple to finally show a burning gaze upon it in which Shao Cheng has just ignored.
Shortly, Shao Cheng stood still before the spread dead body around him while his right-hands hangs down causing the blood of the people he has killed to drip down in the ground.
While the young man that has slightly witnessed the entire situation because of how extremely fast and at ease the people were taken down couldn't help but widened his gorgeous green eyes that brim with utter disbelief and great awe.
Even though Shao Cheng was able to easily deal with the group of people this time, he has still remained indifferent, especially when he could recognize that this group of people is only a third rate group that can easily be hired by people who have money to spend with rather than an elite group that was secretly trained by an aristocrat family.
However, before Shao Cheng can think more about the entire situation he has suddenly sensed a swift figure rushing so fast that his body has move first rather than his mind in which the slim knife that he has taken out inside his sleeves was swiftly thrown sideways before he could turn around and see who has suddenly appeared.
Although, Shao Cheng has fortunately able to slightly move his hand a bit after Purple has let out a roaring sound and luckily causing the knife to miss its target, especially when he finally saw a flash of a small figure with eye-catching familiar pink color appearing on his sight.
In which the small figure has quickly frozen over and dropped down which ironically happened to be just next to the knife that was pierce in the ground.
"...! Ahhhh! I'm wrong! Don't kill and roast me! I shouldn't have run away from the unfaithful man! It's just that… WAAAAHH, I want to be with my wives already! *Sobs*Just, because you two have a complicated and chaotic relationship, doesn't mean that you can make others miserable too!"
"..."
As soon as Shao Cheng saw the Pinky appearance that has acted death in the ground with a slight foam appearing on his mouth but still strong enough to scream in fright and complain has swiftly taken the young man in his arms and running away with the fastest speed he could muster.
And it seemed to be the right thing to do because a second later, two figures have swiftly appeared before the eye-catching person in crimson robes regrettably was able to skillfully recognize the disappearing figure identity.
"...! What the hell! WHITEY! What is that in your arms?"
"... you are worried about that? Didn't you see those dead bodies around?"
Shortly, Purple has silently let out an angry snort before quickly landing in Ren Yuan head that has swiftly gone to a chase a certain someone, in which was quickly followed by a curious and interested Mo Xuan that has taken one last quick glance at the dead bodies around that was able to understand how they were deal with causing his expression to turned serious.
"Hmph, wicked man, how dare you embrace other men besides my creator?"
"...!"
What the hell? Purple, stop adding to my trouble!
"WHITEY! How Could You Do This To Me?"
"..."
