"Li Shi, do you think Little Cheng would forgive you for hiding important detail from him? Don't think just because he kindly chooses to help you doesn't mean you can take advantage of him!"
"No! I didn't want to take advantage of him! I really didn't try to hide anything!"
Ren Yuan peach blossom grey eyes quickly turned darker after seeing the green eye youth reactions while an unusual storm of dangerous emotion swiftly emerges within his heart.
This person's quick attachment to Little Cheng is extremely suspicious, especially when abruptly reacting just at the mention of Little Cheng name made Ren Yuan want to deal with their trouble hurriedly in order to drive them away from their lives.
After all, Ren Yuan just couldn't kill them even though he desperately wanted to since the urge to finish them off was unusually hard to control, however, Little Cheng has given his faith and trust for him to deal with their problem so he couldn't make a move.
���. Maybe after everything is over and Little Cheng has taken away his protection?
Damn, this is the reason why he wanted Little Cheng to keep wearing a mask on his face, that flawless beautiful appearance is really a sin, it was asking all sorts of trouble since it can easily charm a person just by a single look.
For example, the flustered green eye youth, don't think Ren Yuan didn't see how wrong the young man eye change whenever Little Cheng is mentioned, he is familiar with such an appearance, obviously, this person was charmed and has his heart move.
Especially when Ren Yuan remembers how Little Cheng has basically done the famous actions of a handsome man saving the beauty who is in great peril, so it has caused the beauty to easily fall for the hero!
No this wouldn't do!
Ren Yuan has quickly thrown away about his plan to hide for a while, especially remembering the time he already vow to look out for the young man's well-being because there are a bunch of stupid wolves and foolish foxes wanting to take advantage of the young man because of his beautiful appearance.
As for the awkward situation that will be known as his black history that shouldn't remember, Ren Yuan honestly felt that it was just an unfortunate accident with the young man mental state being in extreme confusion, which he just happened to worsen with his threatening word.
After all, Little Cheng has already explained the reason why he acted unusual, especially when it was all because the young man wanted to protect his chastity since Ren Yuan have underestimated the young man's seriousness and determination regarding about it.
Yes, Ren Yuan would easily admit this time that he was really in the wrong and shouldn't play around with the young man as easily as how he treats other people.
And so, after finding a great reason for the embarrassing situation that has occurred, Ren Yuan decided to instantly return to watch over the young man's health after he finished dealing with this sibling problem that has occurred.
Somehow, Ren Yuan has started feeling impatient when he remembers the severely injured young man he foolishly left because he can already imagine the young man being stubborn and uncaring about his own health after he wasn't watching over him.
The young man can do it, his Little Cheng simply doesn't know how to take care of himself.
"Hurry up and speak it out! You do know that if something happened to your Father, it wouldn't be my fault? After all, you have hidden important information that could have easily lessen the problem and could have properly dealt with the situation."
"Older Brother Shi… please tell them… I'm sure father wouldn't mind. Besides, we should also do our best to cooperate, after all, they don't even have any reason to help us out. Although we have been betrayed by the people we see as family, but I still believe that not everyone is the same."
Suddenly the always silent and observing young woman has finally decided to speak up, and despite how delicate and fragile she looks, however, her eyes are extremely serious and resolute, brimming with an inner strength that some strong men don't even have.
"Mingzhu…"
"Older Brother Shi… remember our departed Mother words? We should live our life with few regret, if you feel that it's the right thing to do, then just do it, even if the consequences of such actions are bad, at least, at that time, you did what you felt is right. Isn't that the reason why our Father and Mother got together?"
If one could explain regarding their sibling relationship, Li Shi younger sister is always the voice of reason between the two of them, that is why, if he were to have lost her in his life, especially after the betrayal of their closest friend, Li Shi doesn't know what kind of person he would turn out to be, after all, no one will be able to restrain him from doing something wrong anymore.
Unlike Li Mingzhu who is similar to their mother's gentle and kind personality, Li Shi was far more similar to his Father's mysterious side.
Letting out a deep sigh, Li Shi directly met the man, dangerous grey pupils, while somehow remembering how this man is extremely special to his savior, honestly, he isn't blind and oblivious about the two men's ambiguous actions and unusual atmosphere every time they are together.
Everyone could see how special they treat each other are…. Yet, somehow, there is an unusual feeling of extreme reluctance in his heart.
"I really didn't try to hide our Father's identity. It just, I only know a little bit about our Father's past since he doesn't speak much about it."
Li Shi grips the hand of his younger sister that has gently hold his hand while speaking before strongly continuing on, having more strength with his younger sister standing by his side.
"From what we know, our Father is a martial artist and has come in the river and lake, however, he already has cut off any connection in that place after he was saved by our Mother. As you can see, our Father has been living an ordinary life after marrying our Mother."
Ren Yuan's expression didn't change even after hearing such a cliche story while Pengfei's eyes glowed in interest, especially the part when the river and lake are mentioned, although he has also built a connection within that place, he only managed in the edge of power, that is how hard it was for an outsider to mix up within it.
Just like the Empires history regarding the people with a certain special power, the river and lake also has a long history and is extremely dangerous where skilled martial artist exist in countless numbers, after all, even the Empires Power couldn't deeply penetrate in their core, completely showing how troublesome they are.
Just as the highest and honorable people aside from the ruler in every Empire couldn't easily use their power to deal with the neighboring Empires, for example, the High Priestess and High Priest, the river and lake also appeared to have a certain boundary that has been set up a long time ago where the outsiders couldn't mix up so easily.
So these people have a certain connection in that kind of place? Pengfei's eyes glimmered with delight while an appreciated emotion emerges within his heart when he remembers the young man who suddenly saves this sibling.
People with special power has a rather unnatural instinct, so did that person already know that these this sibling has certain use and importance? After all, Pengfei knows that his Icy Friend wouldn't easily help anyone, that young man is simply indifferent and cold to his core when it comes to strangers.
This time… Pengfei absolutely found a great person to be his ally, no wait, he doesn't even mind serving the young man all his entire life as long as his desired wish is fulfilled.
"So, he really is the person who finished of those people that the Ding Family have sent off."
"No! Our Father can no longer fight! When our Mother saves our Father, his dantian have already been broken beyond repair!"
"Even a martial artist with broken dantian can still fight if the situation asked for it."
Although one has to pay a greater price if they really try to use martial art skills, Ren Yuan's forehead wrinkles since the entire situation have become far complicated before secretly glancing at the pale face young man, which has also easily figured out what he thought of.
"I'll quickly order my people to locate your father but just base on the distance where he has last been seen, it will take another three to four days for your Father to arrive in the Capital if he was traveling in secret. However, if he was gravely injured, then it's going to be a week or more, that is only if he desperately wanted to save his children."
Although Ren Yuan dislikes this green eye young man but it doesn't change the fact that he really wants to complete the task in perfect and great condition, however, base on what he just learned, it seemed some unfortunate thing has a high chance of happening later on.
"Don't blame Little Cheng if something went wrong with your Father's situation. If you were to hate and blame someone, then I'll take all the faults."
Ren Yuan has given a hard glance at the brother and sister who felt the graveness of the entire situation as their face paled in eerie white color, even with all the power one has, certain situations tend to happen even if one were to dislike it.
After all, nothing is perfect and not everything will turn out right, one single mistake and a missing chance could lead to an entire life of regret and guilt.
Somehow, Ren Yuan felt an unusual pang of pain in his heart as he thought those words out before quickly throwing it in the back of his mind, after all, he didn't experience a heartbreaking situation to feel such emotion, so it was completely weird and unusual to suddenly react on such thought.
"Prepare yourself in a few days, I'll come picked you up when I'll make a move for the next plan."
And with that Ren Yuan with an unusual heavy heart has quickly gone to deal with the entire situation, ordering his people around and also personally preparing to deal with the oncoming troublesome situation.
It took a day of no rest for Ren Yuan to completely settle everything before he finally has the time to openly visit the Shao Residence with the reason of suddenly missing his friend and of course, he was there to also hang out with.
Although Ren Yuan inwardly narrowed his eyes after perceiving the person Mo Xuan has been chasing was hiding a worried emotion on his eyes, it was completely different from the excited and delighted expression of the two Madams who happily welcome his visit.
And while Ren Yuan was being guided by the second son of the Shao Family, he finally learned about how his Little Cheng has been keeping himself in his courtyard with only the animals as companions after leaving him that day.
See? Just like he assume, the young man is really obstinate when it comes to his health, at least, the young man should have kept the young boy to serve his side just in case something went wrong.
Soon they have finally arrived with Shao Chonglin remained standing just outside the safe boundary in Shao Cheng's living place while Ren Yuan has practically pushed the door and easily entering the young man's place like he owns the place without any hesitation on his face while speaking in a loud playful voice.
"Little Cheng~ Did you miss Brother Yuan? Don't worry, I'm here to play with you~"
"WOOOO!"
Ren Yuan completely froze over after suddenly hearing a young wolf howling in full anxiety, the cry sound was extremely loud that it even managed to reach Chonglin ears and the Twin Mothers who were waiting for their second child to come back in order to know their third son situation.
And when another piercing howl has echoed out, Ren Yuan's heartbeat has quickened while feeling extremely anxious and panic before quickly dashing with the greatest speed he can muster and basically breaking the door apart from where the anxious sound was coming from.
"...!"
In a split second of Ren Yuan seeing the entire situation inside the room, his heart felt like it was about to stop beating while his eyes widen so wide as he stared frozen at the unconscious young man laying down on the ground while an anxious chubby wolf cub was frantically moving around the prone form.
"Little Cheng!"
