The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time Chapter 194
Advertisement
Although Shao Cheng has spoken about rescuing the older woman a moment ago but it didn't mean that he will take her out now, after all, he needed to absolutely clean up the entire Ma Family first without leaving any evidence or single clue regarding his dealing with them.
Meaning, Dai, Dalle, and Mrs. Suyin's relationship with the Ma Family is needed to be completely cut off so that in the future, no one will be able to recognize, figure out and make a connection to Shao Cheng operations against the Ma Family if someone has noticed the three people working his side.
Aside from the Ma Family targeting his older brother Yan, Shao Cheng wouldn't leave a clue about having different affiliations with that Family in the future.
Shao Cheng needs to remove the Ma Family in the political and military power in the Chang Empire, particularly cutting off the important powerful ally of one among the Royal Family members in the Palace in order to lessen the dispute he will face in the future.
And well, after targeting his older brother's life, there is no way that Shao Cheng will treat them particularly well, he has always been unforgiving and ruthless to the enemies that have targeted the people on his care.
"... Mrs. Suyin, please make sure that nothing bad will happen to you during the ti-!"
Shao Cheng pupil has abruptly constricted when his active special senses have suddenly detected human life energy on the other side of the large room rather than the entrance of the room where the two-guards have been standing guard the whole time.
And in a split second, Shao Cheng has swiftly moved to the corner of the darkest part of the room where the light of the small fire wouldn't reach out before quickly leaping up in the ceiling and balancing his entire body with ease and familiarity while staying there with his entire figure plastered on top while remaining still.
Of course, Shao Cheng has also made sure to use the help of some tall furniture in order to slightly block his entire figure that has completely blended in the darkness while simply lessening his entire presence and shutting off all of his emotions.
After all, skilled and extremely sharp martial arts can easily detect a person's presence base on an individual show of strong emotions.
This is truly a dangerous world where every single person with an agenda has to carefully watch every single move they made or else a single mistake will cause their life to be in great danger or even losing it.
It is the reason why despite the fact that Shao Cheng couldn't precisely control his special senses has chosen to use it despite how he wasn't accurately skilled when at the same time doing something else.
Moving around and focusing on other matters when the special power detection is on wasn't an easy thing to do.
Fortunately, Shao Cheng's decision to keep the useful detection on was right, or else it would be too late for him to hide from the person that has suddenly appeared from another opened secret door with an entirely definitely entrance in a completely separate location.

"Aunt Suyin… its been a while, I'm here today to inform you a piece of great news."
Shao Cheng narrowed his eyes toward the young man that has suddenly appeared while a flash of recognition emerges in his mind after remembering the familiar but older appearance of a steady, cold, and mature grown man in his previous life memories.
Ma Jin, the oldest son, and the heir of the head of Ma Family, which is also the person that has led his family into a deeper connection in the third prince of the Emperor sons, which is the person that Dalle has controlled by using his affection in the previous life.
"Ahhh….Aunt Suyin, I am truly thankful that you have eloped with another man in a scholar family before rather than marrying my father in the past or else I wouldn't have existed if Father didn't marry my mother."
Although, Shao Cheng has easily noticed the barely hidden hostility and malice in the young man's voice, particularly the uncontrolled dark atmosphere surrounding his entire body, showing a completely different person in his memories that has also been known on extremely skilled about controlling and hiding his true emotions.
Shao Cheng was once more being reminded that experience and time can easily change a person's character and attitude, in which he couldn't help but imagine what kind of change Ren Yuan will turn out to be in the later future?
Everything is slowly changing, at least, Shao Cheng has already accepted that nothing will be the same in the future, after all, it is what the new life meaning is all about.
"Aunt Suyin, did you know? Dai is dead! Hahaha, that damn bastard is finally gone! Don't you know how tiring it was to constantly hear my Father always mentioning how talented, skilled, and gifted he was? I'm obviously the heir of the Ma family and Dai is nothing but a tool but why do I need to be compared by such a low person?"
Shao Cheng has silently raise his eyebrows watching as the man continues to erupt in happiness about Dai's death while also letting out his anger about the self-confidence issue that has been plaguing him for a long time base on his present attitude and twisted expression on his face.
This person is just here only to rant all his stifled feelings, of course, to also witness the older woman's despairing reaction regarding learning her son death.
"Lies! Ji has obviously promised to keep my sons alive! It's the sole reason why I surrender and let myself be put in this place! Jin, where is your father? Let me talk to him!"
"Well, Dai died during a mission, it was a complete accident, so my Father didn't lie. After all, Aunt Suyin knows that any person that has our bloodline needed to fulfill their own duty. Even though Aunt Suyin has wrong my father in the past but the Ma Family has fairly and treated your sons all these years."
Shao Cheng nodded his head at the older woman's reaction over her son's death, completely acknowledging her acting talent that has easily cause the still inexperience Ma Jin to eat it all up and further acting out in an aggravating matter.

"Besides, Aunt Suyin is no longer the most talented martial art person in our family in the past, after all, didn't my Father damaged your wrist and ankle so that you couldn't use any martial art skill anymore?"
So, Shao Cheng didn't incorrectly comprehend the older woman's issues about her body before, although the internal energy wasn't broken since it might sound easy to do but it really hard to break a martial arts internal energy, particularly when the individual has trained for a long time.
It's really too bad that the older woman wouldn't be capable to wield a sword and leaping up in ease anymore base by the damage in her wrist and ankle, although, he will see if there is something he could do regarding it after a thorough check-up.
This Ma Family is truly ruthless to their own people, although, in this ancient era, almost all of the Aristocrat family are cold and ruthless in some way, even the Shao Family has their moment of darkness, his family just tend to be in the righteous side regarding the Empire safety so they appear good in the people eyes.
"You are already weak Aunt Suyin, the only reason why you are being treated kindly was because of Father's obsession toward you, or else do you think that we will keep the three of you alive because of what you have done? You betrayed us and has caused our rise of power to be slow down."
Ma Jin continues to rant in happiness, feeling utterly delighted after hearing about Dai's death while finally been able to let go most of the heavy pressure that he has been keeping in for a long time, especially after seeing the rage and denial on the older woman face.
"Dai is gone… now it's your youngest son that has inherit your appearance turn to be deal with, don't worry though, I will not kill him, Father will be mad at me, after all, Dalle has certain advantages and it is his turn to finally show his use to our family since Dai is gone."
"Jin! What have you done?"
"Since he doesn't have any talent to use…then sending him to serve a person that can give great benefits to our family. Unlike Dai who is average in appearance, Dalle would receive the love of a person in the higher up and further providing great benefit to our family after tonight."
"HOW DARE YOU!!!"
Ma Suyin didn't fake her act this time when her mouth let out a loud scream in a full rage after hearing such an unbelievable word coming out from the young man's mouth, particularly the meaning of what he just spoke off.
"Well, I dare, besides, isn't it best for him to learn about serving others at an early age in order to become more experienced? Don't worry, I carefully choose a befitting person to be his first time, it's not an old man with a dark hobby rather it was a beautiful woman that likes them young... Aren't you glad?"
"How about you try it out?"
In a split second, Shao Cheng has swiftly appeared behind the young man with his eyes glowing a hint of an invisible purple color within it before raising his hands and tightly grasping the man's head with his hands.
And without any hesitation, Shao Cheng has let out a burst of purple aura upon in his hand before penetrating the man head and quickly causing the young man to fall unconscious without even knowing his sudden emergence since he will soon forget about it.
"How dare you scheme such offensive act to the little devil…"
Rather than Dalle being subordinate, Shao Cheng has already decided of making the young boy his student after everything is over because there is no way that he wasn't going to utilize such great potential especially after recognizing the previous life experience of almost losing to him.
Such a perfect student to teach and train, how could Shao Cheng allow something untoward and improper to happen to him? With Dalle's potential, it wouldn't be surprising that the young boy will grow into a powerful person that will greatly benefit the Chang Empire in the future.
So without any hesitation, Shao Cheng has decided to use one of the imperfect skills that he has been experimenting with Pengfei a few days ago toward the young man that definitely hit some of his nerves about his future student.
It was a skill that greatly affects a person's mind and causing the man to unconsciously answer his questions, although Shao Cheng couldn't use it in a long time while gazing at the way the young man's body began to twitch and shudder from indescribable pain.
Ma Jin breaking his mind today is going to be a bit troublesome to handle so Shao Cheng has to be careful with his control and use of the purple aura.
"... tell me… where is Dalle right now?"
Of course, Shao Cheng has also asked all sorts of questions he needed to know in order to quickly deal with the situation while ignoring the pleading and hopeful Suyin that was watching in the distance.
While in the corner of Shao Cheng's mind, he couldn't help but remember the situation early in the morning despite the way the young man has begun to let out broken words to answer his question.
… Ah… I think I'm going to break the promise with Ren Yuan tonight… damn…
Although, Dalle's situation is extremely important, however, Shao Cheng has easily able to let it slightly be pushed back when he contemplates about unable to return back tonight, incapable to cook Ren Yuan dinner while unable to sleep in the same bed with him.
… now then… how to coax a furious or disappointed Ren Yuan later on...

Is Lucas Destined to Die in the New World?
Lucas imagined himself doing grander things in life; after all, he put in his own blood, sweat, and tears, and got himself a master's degree in English. Maybe he'd be the next best-selling author, or maybe the most popular late night TV show host. However, life didn't give him anything more than a management position at the local burger joint. Day in and day out, he flipped burgers, swept floors, and made weekly schedules that his employees ignored. All he had known for the past five years of his life was pure misery. Then after one night of drunken revelry, he found himself in an unfamiliar world, but he knew all the gimmicks. He knew these stories had quirks he could manipulate- he could put all his stats into magic and become the best wizard in the world, or he could dump all his stats into strength and become a veritable warrior. But once again, just like Earth, this new world seemed to have different plans for him. Instead, he was given a luck stat of 0 and a skill that forced him into danger where there should have been none. Why is this nerdy, magical paradise trying to kill him? Content warnings are there to give me some creative legroom later. There's not an excess of any gruesome content in the story, and what is there is tastefully sprinkled in. This is a LitRPG. Updates are twice a week on Mon/Fri plus some extras here and there.
