C03. Alive
Kai Chen had finally figured out why and when and how the previous Kai Chen was killed. He figured out how the entire situation after some careful organization of the facts. He also knew how the previous Kai Chen died and by who.
'Hmm... Looks like the past Kai Chen died quite a miserable death. Killed brutally in the entrance exam because he just bumped into this Zha Nan person. Several bones are broken in my body which explains the pain throughout the body? This Zha nan is quite daring killing someone in the entrance exam just to show off.' Kai Chen remembered how previous Kai Chen died.
'I don't know why but thinking about this Zha Nan makes my blood boil. Maybe it's because of the memories of the previous Kai Chen. Since he is previous Kai Chen's enemy and now that I possess this body It means he is now my enemy. I will settle things with this Zha Nan for the sake of the previous owner. But right now I'm not in shape to take any revenge, also he is a 5th layer of the mortal realm cultivator, compares to him my current cultivation is only a 3rd level of the mortal realm. The difference is quite big.'
This is a lower world, and In this world, cultivation realms are divided into the Mortal, Soul, Spirit, Origin, and Saint. Each realm contains five small layers before breaking through the next realm. The higher the realm, the more powerful one is. If a person managed to become a Spirit realm cultivator then he could rise his clan from commoner to aristocrat.
'I was the cultivation freak and had encountered many challenges in my lifetime, but never have I ever kneeled before fate.' kai Chen was in deep pondering, thinking about how to proceed in the future.
Kai Chen wanted to deal with Zha Nan but to do that he had to increase his cultivation beyond his level as soon as possible. But there was a problem to do that, his body was not in good condition, the bones were crushed but most importantly the Qi circulating in his meridians was faint and unstable. He had to first focus on recovering and stabling the Qi in his Meridians.
Kai Chen sighed as he silently lay in the coffin, feeling a multitude of feelings. While he was outraged on behalf of the previous Kai Chen, he couldn't help but be secretly delighted that he reincarnated into his body.
he was quietly hearing the conversation between the two. One of them was the previous Kai Chen's father, or rather, his current father, and the other was the past Kai Chen's friend.
"He Killed my son and didn't even receive a severe punishment? Is my son's life that cheap to him? I won't sit quietly without doing anything. He will pay heavily for my son's death..." Kai Feng cursed Zha Nan.
Seeing Kai Chen's father sorrowful and sobbing, warmed Kai Chen's heart. It put his heart at peace to witness this kind of fatherly love and doting which he was unfamiliar with in his previous life.
Perhaps it was due to the blood ties between this body and Kai Feng. Whatever it was, Kai Chen felt very warmly disposed towards Kai Feng as a father at first glance.
Kai Chen's heart felt a warm feeling seeing his father taking revenge for his son's death. At least he wasn't a timid, stupidly loyal subject.
But right now doing anything against Zha Nan may be dangerous after all he was not just anyone, his background was very powerful. Kai Chen wouldn't let the situation get out of hand. Although it could be deeply satisfying to rebel against one of the overlords for a noble cause, it was a vain and ridiculous way to die when one considered the big picture. Not to mention that the clan also would not allow him to do anything against the Zha Nan as Kai Feng's action could be disastrous and even the Dragon claw clan would let him do something outrageous which will put the clan in danger.
"The clan will not help me and even try to suppress me. I will sell my house and fields, if it will still not enough I will also borrow money from my trusted friends and hire someone to kill that Zha Nan." Kai Feng already made up his mind.
It was true that Kai Chen was a cultivation freak in his past life and had vast wealth and resources. But in this life, the identity of his past life was nothing but hot air.
But he could understand the situation aptly. 'Those with noble morals need not rush brashly into seeking revenge.', and would definitely prevent the father of his current life from committing such a brainless action.
If his father Kai Feng rebelled against the Zha Nan and the Chain Ho family reacted accordingly, how could anyone escape unscathed? Kai Chen had finally taken control of a new body when he reincarnated, he didn't want to croak after he woke up.
When he saw that his father was ready to leave behind a trail of blood at a moment's notice, Kai Chen couldn't resist the urge to give a quiet "..ar-argh...". It was a sound that promptly froze Kai Feng where he stood.
Kai Feng had become completely petrified as he stared unblinkingly at Kai Chen's body lying in the coffin. The fierce rage in his eyes transformed into strong fatherly love in a blink of an eye.
A father's love was like a mountain, and Kai Feng almost launched himself into a flying leap like an electric bolt as he rushed to grab Kai Chen's hand. "Chen'er, you… you're not dead?"
Although the face was a stranger's face, Kai Chen was also a stranger to this fatherly love. But strangely he didn't feel uncomfortable or inexperienced with this fatherly love.
"Father, I'm sorry, I failed to enter the Dragon Phoenix academy and couldn't live up to your expectations." Kai lo hadn't even blinked his eyes while telling such lies as he was not Kai Feng's real son.
At that moment, Kai Feng was wholly immersed in the joy of regaining the son he'd lost. Who gave a crap about the flood of great changes following his son?
"Nonsense! You are my son, how could you have not lived up to my expectation? Everything is fine because you have not died Chen'er! So what if you weren't able to enter the Prism Phoenix academy." Kai Feng's anger subsided seeing his son alive. All the negative thoughts about taking revenge swept away from his mind.
