The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time Chapter 280
Advertisement
During the time when Shao Family has figured out that Shao Cheng was missing along with the obsessed maidservant and was going crazy in the entire Chang Capital no matter the consequences of their action with Shao Cheng also learning that Pinky simple task has failed.
Ren Yuan dress in familiar crimson robes with the same design as the one he sent for Shao Cheng to wear during the New Year Celebration has squinted his peach blossom grey eyes toward the countless relatives that have finally started to leave to take a rest for tonight.
"...damn, this annoying celebration is finally over."
Lazily sitting in a comfortable chair while gently holding a wine cup, Ren Yuan openly sneered toward his relatives who have courageously taken a glance in his direction and quickly turning away after witnessing his response.
"Tsk... why glance in my direction if they couldn't even directly meet my gaze?"
Ren Yuan didn't feel an ounce of fear and concern if the rude word he has spoken would be heard by some people before secretly scrutinizing the barely hidden disgust and loathe emotion in his relative's eyes after seeing his unreasonable and brazen behaviors.
Especially after everyone observed how utterly incompetent he was without even showing an ounce of grace, elegance, and excellence during the entire New Year Celebration.
Everyone is definitely estimating how the Prime Minister's son was a piece of useless, crazy, and unreasonable person, unbefitting as the future heir of the Ren family, which he didn't plan to do and has already chosen a certain cousin to take over.
The strength and power I have in my hands is already enough, so, why bother to become like my old man and becoming busy most of the time without even having the freedom to always hang around?
Besides, when Ren Yuan imagine Whitey attitude of always wandering around outside the Chang Capital and being left out for so many days while only waiting for a letter to arrive, he couldn't help but feel extremely uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Hmph, having more freedom is better, I can even accompany Whitey when traveling around the Chang Empire.

Ren Yuan couldn't help but happily smirk while raising the wine cup to drink over his lip, completely making his irritated mood soothed out after thinking about the troublesome young man.
I wonder if Whitey has already finishing killing people and has safely gone back home to take proper rest.
Nonetheless, no matter how much Ren Yuan felt soothe by thinking about a certain special friend but it doesn't change the fact that his relatives murmuring a distance away has once again broken his good mood.
Why can't these foolish people remember that he got an excellent hearing ability because of his extraordinary martial art talent?
It would have been great if they have the skill to make their voices being unheard by a martial artist.
Tsk... I don't need and care about your opinion on what kind of a person I am.
I only need to know how Whitey likes me no matter what happened, honestly, there is a reason why Whitey has become my special friend, he is simply the best.
Especially after already knowing about Ren Yuan's bad reputation after learning what his name had still caused the young man to sincerely treat him with genuine warmth while desiring to continue being a special friend with each other.
Just looking at those proud and smug expressions in Ren Yuan's relatives causes the violent urge to beat them up, preferably using Little Cheng's effective actions of simply killing people.
... Should I invite Whitey when I finally decided that enough is enough and I should just kill them all? I'm sure Whitey wouldn't mind about my murderous and ruthless attitude since I'm sure he will remain to be my special friend no matter what I do.
Of course, there is also the fact that most of Ren Yuan's relatives weren't stupid and foolish enough to completely believe his outward appearance and attitude, especially the sly and sharp people in the Ren family.
After all, the members of the Ren Family weren't completely filled with incompetent and useless people.
Honestly, everything about Ren Yuan has always been half-life and half-truth from the moment he has started faking what kind of a person he was since it was easier to deceive people that way.

While the darkest and dangerous nature he has was always hidden, fortunately, some of his doubtful bottom lines weren't fully cross by other people, so he didn't have a moment of exploding beyond reason.
I really envy Little Cheng only having his third Uncle as a bad relative, my special friend has definitely experienced an amazing New Year Celebration with his family before spilling people's blood.
And here I am, always watching a bunch of hypocrites, greedy and ambitious relatives trying to dig a pit to my hopeless old man who remains soft when it comes to family.
"Hey Ning, did you secretly put all the gifts Whitey send in my courtyard?"
"Yes, you can check it out after we are done here."
Xing Ning standing behind the annoyed and drunk Ren Yuan has bent over to softly whisper to answer, completely having the appearance of a loyal subordinate to the people around them.
While at the same time, Xing Ning couldn't help but feel a bit comfortable about being an orphan in his early years after knowing Ren Yuan's situation when it comes to his greedy and ambitious relatives.
Although, he was once again being overwork despite being the New Year Celebration while feeling how extremely fortunate the others are since they have to attend their own family celebration.
Later on, Xing Ning can already imagine his future of always being chosen to accompany Ren Yuan when it comes to an important celebration or other unreasonable situation.
... damn, how can I escape such a tiring destiny?
While Xing Ning extremely feeling horrified on his exhausting future, Ren Yuan continues to remember his special friend before letting out an envious sigh although a flash of coldness appeared in his grey pupil after silently glancing at his remaining relatives in the main hall.
Whitey is right, It's really better to kill all of them, but who let my father so affectionate and responsible to his siblings and relatives?
Base on the information Ren Yuan receives from the intelligent network he has set up in his early years, most of these relatives already have people behind them, which is definitely people in the Royal family or has a connection toward them.
After all, everyone has already done everything they can but they are still unable to bribe, approach, or completely make the Prime Minister work for them, especially when it comes to the future fight for the throne.
Honestly, can these people just remain quiet and content in their life? It wasn't like my father was abusing them!
The food, clothes, money was properly handled with complete fairness, no one was being taken advantage of despite how the Prime Minister has complete control of power, authority, and influence in the entire Ren family.
And yet, people are always greedy and selfish, never feeling content with what they already have.
Honestly, Ren Yuan doesn't care how killing all of them will affect the Ren Family, but how can he let his parent down, making them miserable and disappointed after everything they have done to him?
In the entire world, Ren Yuan's father and mother are the few people he couldn't just ignore without considering how they will feel and react to what he has done.
Ren Yuan already owe them a lot, he couldn't just remain cold-blooded toward them, although there is also a bottom-line he wouldn't do if they asked him to do it.
For example, deciding on what he wanted to do in life.
Ren Yuan silently sigh while gently taking another sip of wine and simply missing the comfortable time being with a certain person despite the constant trouble that sometimes happened when a young man dress in elegant blue has walked over with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
"What do you want? I'm already annoyed, don't make me angry or I won't hold back from beating you up."
Tsk… the sly and greedy snake cousin from the second Brother of my father didn't forget to come to disgust me again.

First time writing any sort of story. Everything is still a work in progress. As I improve on my writing I will go back and edit parts. Early chapters are subject to change as I grow my ability. I am going to try my best to write this world and improve as I go. My goal is to make my dream come to life through the medium of text. This is why I wanted to post it here. Feel free to comment, and bring constructive criticism. Hope you enjoy! More info (Spoiler warning): only read if you are picky, read a lot, and want to waste no time with a story you may not want read. This book is a litrpg. This means it contains stat tables, and other game elements. (Which you may gloss over if you would like) It is written in a fantasy world, in the style of a progression fantasy. The main character grows in power as the story plays out. My characters are written to my best ability, but you may find them immature. The MC has to adjust to fighting, and killing which he struggles with for a while. His partner is a magical salamander who is a friend and mentor. The world building, monsters, and descriptions are also low tier. (I am working hard to change that!) If you are okay reading something by someone who is just getting started then welcome! I am doing my best, and incrementally improving as I go.

The Due
Every sailor knows the tale of Davy Jones' Locker. That place drowned sailors are sent to, ever resting on sea's bed. Some tales recount of a ghostly ship, the Flying Dutchman. Many a story has spawned from these two tales. Countless retellings mixing in their own fictions. But all stories spawn with a kernel of truth to them, and the story of Davy Jones is no exception. Those who've met the legendary seaman and his ghostly ship might call him a ferryman, escorting the drowned to their respective afterlives. Others might call him a devil, meting punishment on those deserving. The true story is always slightly different. Davy Jones is a ferryman, but not one for the afterlife, as Walter finds out. No, Davy Jones manages those who die at sea while in debt, and Walter died with a lot of debt. Unable to pay, Davy puts Walter to work. The specter has just the job for the dead college graduate. Another god, Sod, needs an afterlife for his new world. Davy tasks Walter with the job. Suddenly, Walter finds himself having to run a fledgling underworld with little instruction from Sod. To top it off, the denizens of Sod's world have their own ambitions to achieve godhood, and they won't take kindly to Sod's newest employee shaking up the status quo. [Traumatizing Content tag is up just to let everyone know this will be a story that deals with different themes of death. Some of them won't be nice and so better to be safe than sorry.]
