Legend of The Young Master
His ultimate goal isn't power or conquest, but absolute freedom — liberation from death, from the control of powerful lords, and from the confines of this world. Meet Wuyi, formerly a gangster's accountant, now reborn in a world torn between the Righteous and the Demonics. Gifted with a unique ability by the gods of his previous life, Wuyi possesses an exceptional edge in this new realm. While Wuyi yearns for a peaceful life, he's not afraid to become the villain that this world might need. Determined to secure his freedom, he's prepared to upheave this world, paying no heed to its moral divides. He will not rest until he attains the deepest desire of his soul.
Contempt
Yun Ming had halted the Raid group two-thirds of the way down the ridge when it became clear that the breach had fallen. Now the Raid group turned and rode silently back up the road.
Wuyi was waiting at the gate. "Right," he said to Yun Ming. "Good call."
Yun Ming dismounted, gave his reins to a farmer – the attendants were all in armor – and started to turn away. "The Lower Town is lost," he said.
"No," Wuyi said. "Not yet."
Over their heads, the ballista lashed out again.
"You are risking everything on the hope that we will be saved. By the king." Yun Ming was obviously restraining himself. The words were very carefully enunciated.
Wuyi put a hand on his shoulder. "Yes, besides, the Lotus Blossom Sect should not watch the pavilion get destroyed. And you might not know this, but the king has arrived near Xiang Stronghold," he said.
"Heavens be with us," Yun Ming sighed.
