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.
"Only bits and pieces," Wuyi admitted.
"What have you observed?" Chao probed.
Wuyi paused, collecting his thoughts. "He dines in solitude. I've never seen him idly conversing, whether in the training grounds, the laundry courts, or the Moonlit Gardens. He always seems to be on a mission, always in haste. He's not good with animals; the hounds avoid him, and he's so heavy-handed with the horses that he ruins their spirits. He's probably around Boluo's age and dresses quite elegantly, almost rivaling the attire of the young masters."
Chao leaned forward, his eyes narrowing as if trying to read Wuyi's thoughts. "What else have you observed about him?"
"That's all I can recall," Wuyi replied.
"Has he ever spoken to you?"
"No."
Chao nodded thoughtfully. "What have you heard of his reputation? What do you suspect?"
