Chapter 234: Shao Cheng Agitation And Regret. "I Shouldn't Have Let You Do All The Work By Yourself."

"...Uncle... is this the last one?"

"No, there should be more people around."

"Tsk… to mingle in the Chang Empire noble family… these people appetite in power has become bigger… but it's surprising that someone can comprehend Uncle style, after all, it's been many years since you have been declared dead."

"... it's just how life is, it's completely unpredictable. You will never know what will happen next."

A young man dressed in black clothes is stepping over one of the numerous bodies lying in the ground while the taller man standing by his side was pinching a wiggling grey worm on his slender fingers.

"... fortunately, most of these people are inferior Gu experts… or else, the entire situation will become far deadlier…"

"... Well, that man from before who was trying to lure you out was extremely unlucky to meet one of the Gu expert though… and it seemed that the Gu expert has a connection to one of your victims in the past. Uncle, what do you want to do? And do you think that the man is still alive after being hunted down? These Gu people are always troublesome to handle…"

"... We have already taken down the nasty people around, let's just leave the rest of the people to that man subordinates to handle. Base on my observation from the man martial arts ability, he should be reaching his limit soon."

"Heheh, Uncle is still scary and sly despite living a peaceful life in all these years. Poor guy… he could have been rescued early on… but who told him to use such a ruthless plan to lure you out? It wasn't a funny thing to do, using a fake dead body of your daughter being sent to the merchant family..."

The young man who has been calling the other person as Uncle has just let out a sinister smile, however, before they can speak another word, the two men have frozen over, becoming extremely alert after six people have suddenly appeared before them.

The two men were completely caught off guard since they were unable to detect the six people's presence, it seemed their layout of the movement around the place has been figured out by someone.

"Hahaha, Uncle, it seemed that your skill has lessened after leaving a peaceful life, they manage to caught you off guard."

"... no… it's something else…"

Although the youngest man was alert, it doesn't change the fact he still has the courage to laugh out in mirth, while the taller man has narrowed his eyes while swiftly glancing at the surrounding place with suspicious gazes, only to freeze once more when a familiar sound has reached his ears.

"...Finally! I figure it out! …Father… that's you, right? It's me, Li Shi!"

After the unexpected situation of their plan being wrecked by enemies, Li Shi has been swiftly left to deal with the unexpected people around him while the man who has set up the entire plan has decisively lured the most dangerous person around away.

Especially after learning that Li Shi's father was hiding in the vicinity, thus adding to Li Shi's task of finding his father during the midst of fighting.

"Li Shi!"

"Father, I'm extremely happy that you are alright! However, I don't have the time to explain right now, since I need to quickly hurry up to assist someone in danger! Please, stay in this place and I'll be back after I'm done."

Although Li Shi is extremely happy to finally locate his father, he also knows what his priority is after finally dealing with the troublesome enemies around them.

Fortunately, his father and a friend (?) appeared to have taken out almost half of the people they thought to deal with, giving them enough time to finally rescue the person that has decisively choose to face the most dangerous person around.

"W-wait! My son, I'm coming with you."

"Oh… so that man is at least an ally and an extremely important one too from the look of it. Then we have to do things entirely differently right Uncle? I hope, the person won't be angry if he ever learned that we have been watching from afar before."

Seeing the son of his Uncle has swiftly run somewhere in a hurry, the young man has taken a glance at his Uncle that has swiftly shifted into a less dangerous atmosphere after his child has appeared before following along to help rescue the person that was definitely having a hard time facing the Gu Martial art expert.

However, after they manage to quickly catch up, every one of them couldn't help but stop running, standing rooted in their spots while their expression turned extremely grave and alert as a chill runs down their spine.

"... what the hell is this…"

With a cold sweat flowing down from his forehead, the young man has desperately tried to let out a smile, only managing to make his lip twitch as the oppressing and unbearable presence pressed heavily on his shoulder like there is a mountain place upon it.

… it was the first time he was experiencing such dreadful and appalling killing intent that can easily make a weaker person heart stop.

".... Y-Young… M-Master…"

Struggling to follows the gaze of his newly met cousin who has spoken in a stuttering manner, understandable since even the Uncle he met for the first time couldn't help but just stand in front of his son, unable to easily make a move.

Even in the distance, he can clearly see an extremely chilling gaze of a slender figure standing on top of a building, which was filled with overwhelming murderous intention, entirely looking like an insane majestic beast ready to pounce on them in just a matter of a second.

Damn.. such an overwhelming and dangerous presence… just standing there, being stared at with such dreadful eyes is enough to completely froze them over and his cousin has called out that person as his Young Master?

Wow, what kind of experience and people did his cousin has met while staying in the Capital? Besides… why does the atmosphere on that young man felt a bit familiar…?

"You… pray and hope that nothing extremely severe has happened to him…"

….or else, I will make you experience a life where you will wish that you just have died during the ambush outside the Capital...

As Shao Cheng spoke those words out while standing on top of the building, his chilling eyes were directly staring at the tall man standing in front of the green-eyed youth, and desperately restraining the rare murderous intention that has completely emerged in his heart.

Shao Cheng really regretted letting Ren Yuan handle the green eye youth situation… at least, he should haven't let the man handle everything by himself.

He should have known that the people that the Chang Spirit deems as important people and needed in the Chang Empire isn't going to be a simple matter to deal with.

… Damn… the Gu experts in the river and lake mingling in the Illusive Treacherous Killer situation is a great surprise.

Shao Cheng has taken a deep breath, unable to release the pent up emotion on his chest at the mere thought of a much less-skilled Ren Yuan facing such people so early on in his life, it was enough to have affected his mind on the brink of completely losing reason.

This fuck up situation is all Shao Cheng's entire fault, it's also one of the important reasoning why he didn't gone ahead to kill the three people before him.

Shao Cheng doesn't know if Ren Yuan has mixed up in the Ding Family in the previous life, after all, he doesn't know everything that the man has done despite trying hard to collect all of his information, especially if the man has done a very good job in cleaning it up.

And if Ren Yuan has really had a hand in the Ding Family disappearance in the Chang Empire which Shao Cheng remember that doesn't exist anymore at the time he was mixing up on the fight for the throne, then it still going to be his fault that the situation has become complicated and dreadful.

After all, Ren Yuan wouldn't have personally handled the problem himself and could have ordered his own people to do the work if not because Shao Cheng was added in the mix of the problem.

Although, it was also Ren Yuan fault for stubbornly insisting on helping him out.

Truly…. changing the future is a scary thing to do, after all, everything will never turn out alright in the end, a horrible situation can still become more terrible than it turning for the better.

"... Li Shi… because of what your father has done after this is over… let's talk about how you will handle your entire situation."

"...? Y-Young Master???"

You have definitely lost your family before, however, it's different this time, all of you are together, so I'll change how we will deal with the problem after this.

"I can never tolerate people hurting that man, be it intentional or just because of being ignorable in certain fact wouldn't matter one bit. I'll make them all pay for even causing him some pain."

Since… you were able to survive this entire situation in the previous life, I'm sure you will be able to survive it again even without too much of my help.

So, Li Shi, struggle! Personally deal with the situation! I'm only going to watch in the distance, and allow you to once more personally experience the same but also an entirely different important event in your life that has made you as the Illusive Treacherous Killer in the previous life.

It will also be a sort of test, let me see how you will survive and deal with the entire situation. It will also be allowed me to see what kind of standing you will have in my plan.

Shao Cheng has given a chilling gaze to the Father and son duo, especially the tall man that has figured out that he has been in their presence all along and has heard what they have spoken before.

Letting Ren Yuan struggle? Punishing him? And even wanting to utilize some plot during his weakened state?

Who are you to dare treat him like that huh?

Be glad that damnable tasks exist… ah… I really want to kill… well, I can do it though… should I..? … Shouldn't I?

"... You.. should have never used such an approach toward him..."

Ah… I really want to kill...

Shao Cheng has desperately turned around with his eyes already glowing purple before moving at a high speed, quickly leaving the people behind and following the purple dragon that has gone ahead a long time ago. 

"F-Father? What happened? W-Why is the Y-Young Master so angry at you???"

Feeling extremely uncomfortable being stared at such chilling eyes that perfectly reflected how unimportant he really was in the young man's heart, Li Shi has shakily reached out to grasp his father's clothes with a confused and anxious expression on his face.

A few seconds after the slender man has disappeared, the tall man has finally managed to move his body while feeling totally unbelievable to have been frozen in terror when he has been the one being feared in the past.

And although it was a chilling sight that he should have been so used to dealing with in his younger years, however, there was also something extremely different when he was facing the young man with a cloth covering his face.

The young man was deep as an abyss, like a piece of eternal frozen ice that couldn't be melted, along with an overwhelming killing intent that will ruthlessly slay anyone and destroying anything that gets in his way.

"F-Father!? Did you do something to that man???"

Letting out a deep sigh filled with complicated emotions, the tall man has taken a deep glance at his nervous and anxious son as various thoughts continue to flash on his mind, especially after seeing his son's big reaction caused by the person who just left.

"... I'll tell you about it later, come on, let's go help them…"

He has to leave a better impression on the young man, at least lessen his anger, after all, he absolutely knows one fact and that person is extremely dangerous to be an enemy off, especially for the sake of his son's future circumstances.

Ah… I'm getting old for this stuff...
