"... What is going on?... This isn't real right?"
While Lin Renshu's eyes widen so much because of what he is seeing and hearing, completely confused at the sudden situation that is occurring, Jiayi has been solemnly gazing at the transparent figure floating in the air while murmuring words under her breath.
"A soul? No that's not it only one soul can exist in a timeline."
The young man in Shao Cheng's arms is obviously the genuine one... but this transparent figure has the feeling of being a soul too so confusing!
"Incomplete?"
No there is more about this situation
"... Obsession? There is also that golden aura mixed with the purple one"
That golden aura is obviously the accumulation of its merits throughout his entire life
As countless information swiftly flashes in Jiayi's mind in order to figure out the unexpected surprise before them, the transparent Ren Yuan being observed and analyzed has let out a wide grin on his alluring face.
At the same time, the transparent Ren Yuan's whole attention has never left the beautiful young man who doesn't fail to always leave him breathless with his heart beating fast with overwhelming love.
"Hmm Well, there is no need to trouble yourself, young High Priestess. I seem to have figured out what is my existence just a moment ago I also finally understand where I am. It's really quite mysterious that I don't know how to explain the entire situation in proper words that could be understood."
The transparent Ren Yuan's eyes finally move away from the young man that he dearly misses, his gaze landing at the unconscious 'him', the pair of grey pupils flickering with unfathomable emotions.
Before, he swept around the large hall with an extremely sharp eye, and swiftly returned back to the beautiful young man with an expression asking if it's alright to reveal the information for others to hear.
"... I'll be able to deal with my own people.. however, Young Master Cheng can decide on what to do for the other person."
Jiayi's eyes flashed with coldness when it came to her subordinate who had been helping them and witnessing the process of solving the curse the entire time.
"Well, I'll follow Cheng's decision."
Ren Yuan's gaze only flickers at the familiar person who had died before experiencing the chaos in the Capital when the fight for the throne finally occurred with a wide grin on his face, completely showing his unfeeling side.
Shao Cheng's complicated eyes flicker to the still shocked Lin Renshu, who quickly feels an unimaginable chill running down his spine, at the same time, swiftly perceiving the danger to his life.
So, in that split second, without hesitation, Lin Renshu swiftly pushed the shock and confusion inside him and didn't hesitate to shout out with all his might in order to save his life.
"I follow whatever you want me to do! You can even give me poison to silence my mouth from revealing anything if you don't believe me! You can even use a mysterious way to control me, so, please spare my life!!!"
At that moment, Lin Renshu felt the murderous intention from the usually indifferent and cold young man.
And in the back of his mind, he completely understands that even if he were to mention Little Cai, this person wouldn't hesitate to take his life for the sake of keeping everything a secret!
The specialness and importance of the unusual appearance of his friend look-alike, looking grown-up Ren Yuan is enough evidence that the young man wouldn't show mercy even at the cost of being hated and resented by his younger brother.
Of course, he didn't miss the fact that the robes the grown-up Ren Yuan is wearing are also one of the main reasons why his life is in grave danger!
The design and the dragon embroidered on it are obviously meant for only one person to wear, and that is the Emperor!
So, having a close relationship with Little Cai won't save Lin Renshu's life from what he is witnessing right before his eyes!
Especially when keeping the secret is the utmost priority in the young man's eyes, and the most effective method in keeping a secret is to silence anyone who knows it!
Lin Renshu has always had the distinct feeling that there is something deeper going on with his friend, but, it never occurred to him in that moment of how serious and terrifying it was!
Ren Yuan as an Emperor??? It was absolutely a rebellious thought!
"Please, allow me to live!"
What is pride? What is dignity? All of it didn't matter to Lin Renshu as he basically knelt to beg for his life to be spared!
He can finally live!
He can finally be with Little Cai!
And he has more time to investigate the disappearance of his parents!
Especially when there is already an important clue he just learned!
So, in Lin Renshu's eyes, there is nothing wrong with begging and pleading for his life, even if it was toward a person that is younger than him in age!
Lin Renshu can do anything as long as he can get what he desires the most! Especially, when enduring is what he is best at!
So while he showed a humble attitude with his straight back bending over without any hesitation, Shao Cheng's sapphire eyes brimming with killing intent flicker with various emotions before returning back to its usual indifference.
"Alright."
I'll keep your life.
"My effort and difficulty in dealing with your curse would become wasted if I take your life now."
I'll give you a chance to live for Little Cai's sake but if you really turned into danger, I wouldn't hesitate to cut you off!
Shao Cheng doesn't fear being hated and resented once more, especially by his younger brother. However, there is also the fact that he has decided to make everything right for his family in this life.
I can't completely follow the way I acted in my previous life. Especially when there are more serious matters to consider than before.
Shao Cheng has more people in his life now, completely different from when he only had Huang Ya and Chang Pei before.
Besides, there is also the use of mysterious skills, giving Shao Cheng enough confidence to make a person unable to betray him, unlike the complicated method he had done in the previous life.
I can keep this secret from the clueless Ren Yuan from knowing it.
Shao Cheng's decision hasn't changed one bit, he still wanted to take the previous life experience to his grave instead of revealing it to Ren Yuan.
As long as Ren Yuan never learns about my secret, then it doesn't matter if there are some people who know it!
