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.
Boluo’s Challenge
Wuyi left Boluo's loft, grabbed food from the kitchen — avoiding the dining hall — and retreated to his room. It was cold, dark, and reeked of fouled reeds. He lit a fire and a lamp, then scrubbed the room with hot water and tarragon-flavored vinegar. The room smelled of the herb when he was done. Exhausted, he collapsed on his bed, pondering which one was the hidden door to Chao's quarters now that he was a Qi initiate — he could figure it out. Then he decided not to bother — he knew Chao would visit when he wanted to; before that, he could not contact him unless Chao desired it.
But that same night, he was jolted awake by the sight of Chao's face, illuminated by lamplight. "You've just enough time to wash and eat before heading to the tower top," Chao said, setting down a kettle of warm water and fresh buns he had from the kitchen.
"I'm not going," Wuyi declared, surprising even himself that he was going to defy both his guardians.
