NOVEL NEXT Chapter 324: A Familiar Feeling
An hour after the start of the purification process, Ren Yuan was ordering one of his people to pit a certain person in a place outside the Sacred Mountain. He suddenly stopped talking after feeling the sudden fast beating of his heart, especially when there was a jittery feeling in his stomach that something bad was happening.
Hm?
After a few silent moments, he quickly dismissed the person he was discussing the plan with and swiftly left the place.
Even though he didn't have any evidence, the person who instantly came to his mind was a certain stubborn and problematic young man who always got in trouble, be it by his will or not.
Especially when this feeling was a bit familiar, and there were only a few people he honestly felt anxious about. So Ren Yuan gritted his teeth and rushed to the Sacred Mountain while swearing under his breath.
"Whitey is definitely doing something bad again!"
And when Ren Yuan only saw an empty room, It shouldn't be surprising after arriving at the yard where they had been living for the past few days.
"Heh…"
Without needing to investigate or even wondering that the young man had gone somewhere, maybe like meeting his siblings or parents, Ren Yuan quickly rushed to where his acquaintance had been silently living.
"... Someone isn't being obedient…"
… Haa… the stubborn attitude of doing everything by himself is acting up again…
Ren Yuan completely ignored the fact that the young man had asked someone for help this time, the only difference was the fact that he wasn't the one who was asked.
"Hm? Ren Yuan, why are you in a hurry? What's wrong?"
When Ren Yuan arrived at Lin Renshu's temporary living place, a calm greeting reached his ears, before he saw the familiar young man sitting upon a familiar low-key and simple wheelchair while being served a cup of hot tea by his usual loyal subordinate, the old man.
"..."
A heavy silence descended between them before he showed a dangerous arc on his lips while narrowing his eyes with unknown emotions brimming upon it.
"Very good…"
Even a substitute has been prepared… I was wondering when the treatment would begin for the unusual illness… but making a move behind my back, huh?
"I should have known that Whitey would not be so obedient…"
Without wasting his time on the fake Lin Renshu sitting on a wheelchair, Ren Yuan swiftly left to find the beautiful cold young man, only stopping somewhere on the road.
And watching in the dark as a familiar slender figure wearing a snow-white robe and a silver mask on his face is standing before the oldest and second Young Master of the Shao Family in a beautiful pavilion.
"... Very good…"
There is also a substitute prepared for the disobedient Whitey…
It completely told Ren Yuan that a certain young man had already planned everything ahead of time and there was no plan to add him.
Ren Yuan quietly gritted his teeth while the pair of grey pupils continued to darken dangerously before he could only release a deep sigh and mumbling softly underneath his breath.
"Should I be stricter later on?"
Someone is always being a bad boy.
"I seemed to spoil my special friend a lot more than I thought so…"
If it was someone else, I would have beaten that person a long time ago...
"Always meticulous though…"
Seeing the fake Whitey and the two siblings acting like real brothers trying to get close to each other, Ren Yuan understood that the treatment with Lin Renshu's paralyze legs would take a bit longer based on the young man's preparation.
At least, from the look of it, there was no need for Ren Yuan to do any clean-up since the young man had done his best to remove any suspicion or doubt whenever he made his move.
After sighing one more time at how meticulous the young man is, Ren Yuan finally left to track down the young man who was definitely doing the treatment. And he swiftly went to investigate the young High Priestess, knowing that it would definitely lead him to where the young man was.
After all, it had already shown that in the Sacred Mountain, the special person that the young man is surprisingly associated with is the next High Priestess.
"Ah, I got a feeling that Whitey would get in trouble again…"
In the months, weeks, and days that the two of them stayed together, Ren Yuan had fully understood the young man's special physique that could meet trouble whenever he was, even if it wasn't even part of the plan.
As soon as Ren Yuan left, the fake Shao Cheng, listening to the words of his supposedly two older brothers, tilted his head in the direction where the person he was almost unable to detect had left for a few seconds causing the two Shao Young Master to inwardly become alert.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the young man's reaction, Shao Yan stopped talking while Shao Chonglin secretly detected the surroundings for any unusual presence before speaking in a lower voice for only the three of them could hear.
"Is there a suspicious person spying on us?"
"Hm? Xiaodan, was someone able to tell that you aren't Little Cheng?"
Regarding the fake third brother before them, Shao Yan and Shao Chonglin had been asked to act as their third brother had been accompanying them the entire time and continuing on until he came back after he left to secretly do his business.
Although they didn't know what was going on, it didn't stop them from fulfilling what their third brother had wanted them to do even though they were entirely clueless about the entire situation.
Hey, it was the first time their favorite third brother had requested their assistance, how could they refuse it?
Especially when the two of them had been brimming with happiness the moment their third brother had personally gone to them.
Basically, they were in utter bliss, particularly when the two of them noticed how much their third brother favored their youngest brother the most after their everyday observation of their favored brother.
Even though they felt reluctant about it, they could only fight about which oldest sibling their third brother favored the most after their younger brother had become the favorite brother before they knew it.
"No, it wasn't a suspicious person and… I think you know who the person is."
Xiaodan, who had been asked to act as the young man's substitute while he was away instead of the usual Pengfei because of the place being in the Sacred Mountain, shook his head to remove the concern of the two Young Masters before him.
As for who was the person watching them in the dark, they should have figured out the person's identity.
After all, he could still remember the moment that the young man wearing a similar snow-white robe stood before him revealing the most possible person to figure out their situation.
And Xiaodan was able to witness the softness that couldn't be hidden in the usually cold and indifferent sapphire eyes after mentioning the only person being able to quickly figure out their deceiving act.
It was just a tiny glimpse, and yet, Xiaodan was able to understand how special the person the young man had mentioned was to him.
Especially when he remembered the time where the two of them had fought together in order to deal with their enemies during the ambush to take Shao Yan's life.
And from the look of it, the subtle emotions had grown stronger when it comes to his chosen Master.
"... Well, let's continue to go around the place."
After a certain figure disappeared, Xiaodan had continued to act with Shao Yan and Shao Chonglin in order to deceive anyone from doubting or figuring out a certain person's true capabilities when an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.
