I Refused To Be Reincarnated

Yun studied Shen’s body, the corner of his lips curling into a relieved smile. After all, Shen Wu suffered those unhealable curses to save him decades ago, and the guilt had always gnawed at him—so much that he wished Shen had given up on him that day to escape alone.

"Are you feeling better, brother? Did you see or feel anything?"

Xu Fei exhaled and leaned on his battle ax, admitting Yun was right and Shen’s condition came first.

"I swear to return my robes and track this bastard down if he did anything to you, brother."

The other elders frowned and approached to hear their only witnesses’ testimony.

Meanwhile, Shen’s gaze lingered on Mei Lan’s rosy cheeks and rising back. Tears trailed down his softening eyes, his legs buckling under the weight of his relief and joy.

Yun caught him before he fell and guided him to the bed.

"Got you, brother." He nodded, drawing a bedsheet to hide Mei Lan. "Take a deep breath and share what you know, or those pests will never leave."

Shen observed him, conflicted emotions knitting his brows before a steely glint flashed in his eyes.

"The only thing I saw is you lot barging into a bedridden man’s room. You almost scared me to death!" He gritted his teeth, pointing at them. "You’re the ones who should explain what this is all about!"

The elders exchanged bewildered glances. No matter how they turned his words, it was hard to believe he leapt before the spatial crack just because of a scare.
