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.
Accepting her offer, Wuyi took the indicated seat, carefully balancing his plate of steamed buns, meat from the hot pot, and teacup. Her eyes continued to observe him closely as he settled down, and he felt a newfound self-consciousness, as if every move was under scrutiny.

He did not probe deeper; he had already made mistakes when trying to read people knowing too much is not always a good thing. Besides, she intended no harm and was just curious. The situation was simply too awkward.
He ate quickly, as if trying to escape the intensity of her gaze, feeling like a mouse in the presence of a cat. Her observation was not impolite, but it made him unusually clumsy. Something about her that the Statue of Knowledge told Wuyi was that she was powerful, maybe more powerful than Congming, not to mention she was very beautiful. All this made him more nervous.
