Chapter 75: Dream Resort (End)
When Yu Mu Sheng let his guard down, his facial expression became surprisingly easy to read-soft and almost overly pliable.
The young man looked at Shu Cang in confusion, unable to understand his intentions and motives.
Shu Cang recognized Yu Mu Sheng's doubts. "If I'm not mistaken, this is the place you wanted to come to as well."
The slender young man remained silent, pressing his lips together. Though he said nothing, his beautiful eyes stayed wide open, staring at Shu Cang without blinking.
Being stared at like that by the young man almost gave one the illusion of being liked and relied upon. But that was only an illusion.
The closer they got to the foot of the mountain-or more accurately, the closer they approached the temple in the night-Shu Cang's face grew paler, and his expression more severe.
Shu Cang said, "From start to finish, anyone who paid close attention to your actions would easily understand your intentions, and it wouldn't be hard to guess what you're doing now."
Yu Mu Sheng blinked obediently, not denying Shu Cang's words.
Shu Cang continued, "I know you could have come here without me, but I did save you some trouble."
The small river at the foot of the mountain surged more violently, producing the sound of a torrent, even though there wasn't much water.
The surroundings were eerily silent, and along the way, there were no signs of the spirits of the deceased in this area.
Under Shu Cang's gesture, Yu Mu Sheng walked onto the bridge while Shu Cang stayed behind. He said he would hold off Yu Zhao and Yu Yangxu, buying a bit of time.
Hearing the young man's footsteps stop, Shu Cang said, "If you're worried about my life, at least Yu Zhao and Yu Yangxu won't be able to kill me."
Yu Mu Sheng's eyes gradually turned silver, and his dark roots seemed to be sprinkled with stardust.
The face of "Yu Mu Sheng," which was originally considered outstanding but with some flaws, suddenly became captivating, even though there was no significant change in his expression.
In just a few breaths, the white spreading from his roots reached halfway through his head.
His voice unconsciously changed, and he said, "Shu Cang."
The young man's current confusion was: What position is Shu Cang helping him from?
As if aware of the unspoken question, Shu Cang said, "If as compensation for before, would you forgive me?"
Yu Mu Sheng's attitude towards him had always been clear. He didn't care about Shu Cang's previous attitude towards the original host, nor did he lean towards either side. He had no particular fondness for Shu Cang and was vaguely troubled by their relationship in this scenario.
Not caring about his previous actions was actually a good thing, but not caring and not feeling anger also reflected the young man's attitude: no expectations, and similarly, no concern.
Thus, whether ignored or coldly used, these negative emotions were not perceived by him.
Shu Cang persisted in not looking back, fearing that his resolve would easily crumble if he did. "If now... after you leave, would you think of me more?"
Even if it was just a moment's thought.
The young man, who had already entered a different state, moved, and his silken, distinctly defined white hair shifted.
