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

Chapter 312: The True Meaning Of Being A Special Existence



Chapter 312: The True Meaning Of Being A Special Existence

Future Emperor?

Shao Cheng's cold pupils constricted before quickly returning back to normal, at the same time, he calmly placed the cup back on the table and finally gave the young woman his complete attention.

"Even if you are the next High Priestess, you won't be spared from a severe punishment for speaking such rebellious words."

Discussing the future Emperor so openly was the greatest taboo. Although there were people who were eyeing the throne with their great ambition, they would never speak those words out and tend to just think in their minds.

And yet, the young Jiayi just let out another chuckle, completely displaying the fact that she was entirely different from the mature and cold High Priestess in the previous life.

"What if I said that I saw it in my prediction?"

"I don't believe it, someone else is destined to sit on that throne."

"Heh, look at you. Aren't you also revealing serious information that could lead you to be executed?"

The two of them continued to speak in a pleasant manner despite the serious and severe discussion they were having with each other.

"I lied, I could not handle even a simple prediction right now. I received a heavy backlash from helping a special soul arrive in this world. I'm supposed to be resting, but I couldn't just ignore the person who has half the fate of becoming the future Emperor coming to visit me."

Shao Cheng's eyelid twitched before he gently leaned back into the chair and waited for the young Jiayi to reveal what was going on. After all, it wasn't hard to figure out that Jiayi knew his origin and about what occurred in his previous life.

Although, it seemed that the information wasn't complete, or else, the young woman wouldn't be speaking so nicely and pleasantly if she knew the fact that the man she loved had been one of the victims of his scheming and plotting to win over the throne for Chang Pei.

"By the way, here is your snake. It's an extremely special and adorable creature. But it wasn't surprising for you to have one by your side. After all, you have the aura of this land, and in their instinct, you are basically their Lord."

Jiayi gently reached out to the wide box placed by her side and placed it on the jade table. And when she opened it, a beautiful crimson snake was sleeping deeply on the silk clothes inside the box.

Quietly, Shao Cheng reached over and placed the open box to the side of the jade table after examining that the baby snake was only sleeping soundly.

"Continue."

"Haa you really are anyway, when I helped you out. I receive a few broken pieces of my future self memories. So, I have an idea of who you are, and along with the other special person."

Jiayi openly observed the person whose soul managed to cross time and space. At the same time, he also received the blessing and favor of the Empire Spirit based on the almost transparent white-colored aura surrounding his entire figure.

Of course, other than the High Priestess who had a deep connection to the Chang Empire, no one else would be able to figure out that this person had received such an unimaginable and extremely impossible blessing from a powerful existence.

Such a beautiful young man but this person is ruthless deep in his bones 

Nonetheless, Jiayi understood that no matter what, this person had the purple aura of a dragon, which was basically enough evidence to show how noble and distinguished his future would be. However, she also remembered another person who also had a similar aura.

If she didn't receive the memories of that would-be future, she would have never figured out what the twin purple aura really meant.

So, the two young men are Fated Lovers, huh? And Fated to rule the entire Chang Empire together.

It's quite a mysterious and wonderful situation but at the same time, extremely cruel after she learned what happened in that would-be future.

Jiayi's heart couldn't help but become deeply moved remembering how one died, while the other remained lonely until the day he died.

Especially when there is a high chance that the future would have the same result even after this person had managed to come back, and yet, there was also an important part that she needed to warn him about.

"Fated Lovers do you know the main reason why the two of you ended up having such an ending?"

Shao Cheng remembered what Jiayi had revealed to him when he was unable to leave the Imperial Palace as a spirit in the previous life.

"... it's caused by a person with special circumstances."

This time, he didn't have the thought of denying the word 'Fated Lover' that he has always dismissed when the mature Jiayi had mentioned it.

"Well, yes, it's only half-truth. But you see it's also because your entire existence is extremely special."

Jiayi gently tapped at the jade table while her purple eyes turned deeper as she seriously considered how she would be able to explain in better words what she wanted to say.

"You are able to cross time and space, breaking the boundary without perishing. And that meant, you aren't bound to anything. Fate, destiny, those won't work for you. Every decision you make will change according to your will and intention."

Shao Cheng's sapphire eyes turned deeper as those words flashed in his mind, while countless opinions and ideas emerged in order to further get the real meaning of the young woman's words.

"Young Master Cheng, everyone has fate and destiny where no one is able to escape or change it. However, you are extremely different. Fate can work for you, but at the same time, it wouldn't be able to push you to what you are meant to become."

Jiayi let out a sigh and took a sip of the still-hot tea on the table despite having been speaking for ten minutes before revealing what her old self has never bothered to explain in that future.

"You died by the hands of the people you trust. From the start, you and your Fated lover had been enemies before the other person had a change of heart. Young Master Cheng, there is a high possibility that such a situation can happen again in this life because fate and destiny won't be able to fully affect you."

Just being Fated Lovers won't mean that the two of you come together in this world. There are always severe consequences of being special.

And sacrifices have always been the case for people like them.

Just as Jiayi could never be with the person she loved after being chosen as the next High Priestess because her whole existence completely belonged to serving the Empire and Heaven's Will.

Basically, if the young man wants the 'Fated Lover' to become true, he has to make it happen with his own hands instead of believing in fate that everything would turn out alright, where he doesn't need to work hard for it.

"Young Master Cheng, even if you are 'Fated Lover' there is a chance that it will not come true. Even if you don't want to, the two of you can turn against each other again."

Some people who have a harsh and difficult life would swear and complain about their fates, and yet, it's a completely different situation for the person before her.

It would have been a wonderful situation if the fate of the two young men as being a 'Fated Lover' could easily be fulfilled and yet, there was a high chance that it would never come true because one of them is an extremely special existence.

One wrong move, one wrong mistake, and just a simple misunderstanding could turn their lives in the wrong direction from what it should have been.

Underneath the jade table, Shao Cheng's grip tightened as the thought that even without Huang Ya misleading him in the previous life, there was a high chance that he would still have the desire to kill Ren Yuan the same way.

The most loathsome fact is that the possibility of it happening is high when I thought of it...

He knows what kind of a cruel and cold person he is, even before transmigrating to this world, his heart has always been hard and ruthless.

Nonetheless, Shao Cheng let out a derisive snort, completely showing a different appearance from his usual indifferent and cold expression from the moment he met the young woman.

"I don't mind if it doesn't come true. As long as he will have a happy life. That is all that I wanted."

In the first place, I didn't plan to be with him after coming back to this life.

I just plan to stay and faithfully follow his side because that is the promise that I need to fulfill.

Shao Cheng's new life is to fix the mistakes and blunders he had done in the previous life. He was here to atone for the sin he committed, to make his family have a better future than what had occurred in his previous life.

"I have never forgotten what my goal is."

Shao Cheng's eyes narrowed while his lip slowly spread into the familiar mask he had always worn in his previous life.

The new life has been extremely wonderful, being friends with Ren Yuan and getting to know his family. He was able to experience what he had been missing in the previous life and that small piece and happiness were enough to make him feel content even if he were to die any second now.

"Besides, the two of us crossing swords again it will never happen."

"... Hm? Can I know why that is?"

Shao Cheng loosened his tight grip underneath the jade table before reaching out to take another sip of the still-hot tea that didn't change temperature despite the few minutes that had passed by.

"This life is completely different, I already know the people that I would never dare to harm and hurt. Besides, I would take care of such a dangerous situation before I allow it to happen."

"Oh? What if despite everything you have done, the two of you are forced to cross swords with each other again? Especially the fact that the both of you are forced to make a choice, that one of you has to die for it?"

I'm just not making this up because that is how cruel life can be one could never know what will happen, especially for a person that couldn't be controlled by the world's fate and destiny.

Jiayi couldn't help but continue to ask since she is extremely curious and interested in the person who had managed to change the destiny of the entire Chang Empire just by pushing a person who wasn't meant to sit on the throne.

At the same time, the same person could easily change the destinies and fates of the people he will meet just depending on his decision and choices.

"Your question is quite easy to answer."

Shao Cheng's expression turned warmer while the gentle smile on his face continued to brighten, and yet, the words that he uttered caused Jiayi's eyes to widen in disbelief, completely not expecting to hear such an answer.

"I will just have to take my life."

How could I have the courage and determination to take away Ren Yuan's life? Not only do I greatly owe him in the previous life, but that man is the only person that manages to make my heart beat so fast.

I only like him and yet, it's already driving me crazy. I can't wait to give him everything he desires. I want to remove everything that gets in his way.

Do you know how hard it was to control myself just to remain sane?
