The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

Chapter 4: Following Around His Former Loathsome Greatest Enemy.



It was just in an instant of losing his entire consciousness while the experience of second death has once more grace his entire being.

Soon, sapphire eyes instantly have opened up once more before the scene of an elegant woman without any emotions on her beautiful face while wearing black clothes firmly stand before the body of Ren Yuan that has still retain the gorgeous crimson robe with snowflake embroidered in it, base from his current observation, right now it was during midnight, however, what matters the most right now was the identity of the woman on his sight.

"... Spring?"

Shao Cheng couldn't help but mutter the name of the elegant woman, after all, she was the leader of his own dark hidden force.

Although, what is happening right now?

Soon after, when he saw his current transparent body while floating up the ground, Shao Cheng finally knows what is currently happening toward himself.

Firstly, he was shocked and surprised to find out that he was currently a spirit or more precisely a ghost, before accepting the fact that yes he was dead and has now become a ghost this time, after all, he has transmigrated after dying in his previous life and has been living in an entirely different world of an ancient era, which has made it completely easy for him to just accept all about what is currently happening toward himself once more.

But before that, Shao Cheng turned his attention back at the people before him, soon, he observes as Spring seemed to have given a luxurious small box toward Ren Yuan and as soon as the enchanting man opens it after a few silent moments.

The item inside the luxurious small box was the imperial jade seal, symbolizing the Emperor's ultimate power and imperial authority.

Shao Cheng has always known where the Emperor has kept the most important objects in the entire Chang Empire, oh, he really trust the Emperor, but he knew about Chang Pei capability, thus he has kept watch over it in order to keep it safe, who would have thought that his very careful plan and thought will help him this time to get the item so much easier.

Thus, with his change of plan when he was betrayed and dying, Shao Cheng has prepared all that is needed in order to make it easier for Ren Yuan to be seated on the throne and take total control over it.

Even after the rebellion, Ren Yuan will still need some time to completely control the royal court officials and aristocrats family after he won, especially while having the title of leading a rebellion who has usurped the current Emperor isn't a good title to have because no matter what the reason he has to has led the rebellion, Ren Yuan will have to face the difficulty that the label will bring him.

And well, Shao Cheng has also been thinking about the common people that will suffer the most from it, an Empire really needed an Emperor, that is why, after a death of an Emperor, everyone will quickly appoint a new one without wasting a second.

And as he watched Spring is finally giving the most important item to Ren Yuan, a sad and regretful expression grace his beautiful because he knows what will come next.

"You!"

Just like he has predicted, while Ren Yuan utter a shocked yell, Spring has directly stabbed a dagger toward her heart without any single hesitation.

"Master Cheng… Spring has completed her duties."

Suddenly, the emotionless face of the elegant woman has suddenly softened, her eyes gazing in a faraway place, seemingly seeing a certain figure of someone special.

"Wait for Spring… I will come soon, Spring will not let you be bullied in the afterlife."

Shao Cheng has always known about what Spring will do after she has finished all the tasks he has given her to complete after being betrayed and poison, but to see it happening before his very eyes cause him nothing but pain and sorrow.

Spring, the treasured person of his parted Master, the person that has been helping him from the start when he started helping the six princes to win over the throne.

One could say that Sping has treated him as her loved one, the only problem is the fact that while she saw him as her family, Shao Cheng that has been blinded by the two people because of his naiveness and longing in his previous life that he has never treated her as one, only one of the most trusted and loyal subordinate that his late Master has left behind.

He really wanted to close his eyes but he knows that he has to watch this till the end, although he is numb to people dying left and right, however it is entirely different when it is about people he cares.

And now that he just started to care about others again, Shao Cheng has to watch one of them die right before his very eyes.

Really, he was a real bastard, a scum, and monster, why is he just learning now that there are also other people that care about him?

Soon after Spring has finally taken her last breath, one after another, the bodies of the dark guards that have been hidden, has started to appear and falling down in the ground without a single breath within them.

"Damn it, Cheng…even your subordinates are so obstinate just like you."

Ren Yuan close his peach blossom grey eyes, before taking a deep breath, and then ordering the subordinate to handle them with respect, and will later be given a dignified burial alongside their beloved master.

Then as days pass by, Shao Cheng can only pass his time as a ghost while following Ren Yuan around since he seemed to be unable to leave the Palace and well, it's not like he enjoy stalking his once hateful enemy, it just that he can know about the most important matter happening in the entire Chang Empire when he was with him.

Although he was quite surprised and curious about the fact that there was no other spirit in the entire Palace, he was sure that numerous people who have more resentment and hatred than him have died in this place, especially in the location in the Harem.

Then the day arrives when Ren Yuan finally becomes the Emperor as he took steps by step as he gracefully walks at the stairs while wearing a magnificent and majestic crimson robe belonging to an Emperor along with gold and silver color embroidered on it.

Base on the enchanting man's whimsical and changeable personality which is unpredictable most of the time, Shao Cheng can tell that it was a brand new type of robes for Emperor to wear since it has changed from the traditional golden robe.

Sapphire's eyes watch with a bit complicated emotion as the man finally becomes the ruler of the Chang Empire.

Then as time pass by, it took three whole years fo the Chang Empire to become stable and steady, while making the Empire powerful and prosperous seemed to be a bit of a challenge, as the Empire has really been weakened so much that even with Ren Yuan talent that he was having a bit a hard time fixing it.

Especially when Shao Cheng learned that the late Emperor that was overthrown has done something bad behind his back from the past few years, it was no wonder that despite how hard he has been working that the Empire still has soo much problem.

Shao Cheng couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows while cursing Chang Pei.

However, at least, this man Ren Yuan was really keeping his promise toward him that he was trying really hard to fix the Chang Empire and make it powerful and prosperous once again.

At least, Shao Cheng can respect and admire his once loathsome greatest enemy, why was he against this man once again? It has been so long that Shao Cheng has forgotten the reason why he has never had any good impression of him.

However, there seemed to be a problem since the current Emperor doesn't have woman or even men on his harem and has been remaining single all these years and always working, which is remarkably surprising since he remembers that Ren Yuan was a playboy during his younger years, or was that a mask and fake information he was just showing before to let everyone guard down?

Even Shao Cheng took a few years to finally know that this man has been hidden deeply before noticing the danger that this man represents.

Besides that, Ren Yuan is almost turning on his forties, even Shao Cheng knew that as the ruler of this Chang Empire, even if he doesn't love any woman, Ren Yuan still needs a son for the next heir in the throne in the future.

He could understand if Ren Yuan doesn't like a woman and prefer men since not only was his appearance attractive to both gender but being a couple of a pair of men can be accepted into this world.

It seemed that unlike the ancient time in his previous world, this world is more open-minded regarding concerning that topic and especially when having about a relationship in this world, but the problem was that a man marrying into another one rarely happens since male and female couple still the most sought out pairs of lover because of the reason of being capable of leaving a descendant to carry their family legacy and tradition.

However, as Shao Cheng was being confused about why this man remains determined to be single despite the opposition of the Royal Court Officials, one day, during night time, as he once again follows Ren Yuan around, Shao Cheng has learned shocking information.

Shao Cheng watch dumbfounded as the drunk Ren Yuan take out a familiar brush pen that has been made with rare materials with seemingly deep emotions on his attractive handsome face.

"Shao Cheng… you're so bad… even when you're dead… you are still giving me all this trouble and difficulty…"

Ha?

Shao Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as this drunk person started speaking bad things about him, dissing and complaining, after finally having enough of being bad-mouthed without any reason, Shao Cheng was ready to float away but soon after, felt himself fall down from shock.

"... why… I believed that I can forget it… really… since, you know, your dead and all… and in the afterlife probably annoying everyone around you... but why can't I stop loving you? Shao Cheng… Cheng… Little Cheng… Damn it… I really love you…sobs…come and take responsibility, you irritating beautiful man..."

What the fuck?
