Chapter 12: Zhang Kai and First Mission
Protagonist Zhang Kai POV:
After leaving the Jade Palace, I returned to my inn as this was my temporary residence in this city.
Suddenly a beautiful woman appeared in front of me. She had long black hair and black eyes.
"Little Kai, the woman you met earlier was a powerful emperor realm expert. It would be great if you could gain the favor of such person." The woman said as she looked at me with a smile on her face.
This woman name is Jin Ling.
She is my master and I first met her when I was about to commit suicide.
At first, I was startled seeing such a beautiful figure appeared from my ring that was given by my dead mother.
The beautiful woman explained that the reason my cultivation regressed and could not progressed was because of her.
She was using my spiritual energy to recover as she was badly injured.
I was enraged to hear such reasons, but she told me that she could make me even stronger than my previous self with her help. As she was once a powerful venerable realm expert.
Thus, we decided to make a contract and she became my master while I provide her with spiritual energy.
"I know master. That woman was the owner of the Jade Palace and rumor says that she has a huge background."
"Although that woman was really powerful, I want to let you know that the white haired boy inside the restaurant is also someone you could befriend with."
"Why, are you fascinated with his face?" I replied as I also noticed the handsome white haired boy inside the Jade Palace and I am a little jealous of his handsome face.
"Hmph, do you think I only judge people based on their face. That young boy was only 10 years old but despite his young age, he has higher cultivation than you."
"WHAT??" Shocked to hear the words of my master, I yelled.
"In addition to that, he was not affected by the pressure that you experience previously. And from my observation, this boy would be either one of 2 case."
"And what are those 2 cases?" I asked as I became quite curious of this young white haired boy
"First, he could be a disguised master that is hiding his cultivation realm or he could be someone from a terrifying background that even emperor realm experts are nothing but ants in his eyes."
"WHATT, that boy is really terrifying then."
"Then little Kai, you must listen to me this time. If you can't be friends with that white haired boy, never, I repeat NEVER make an enemy out of him as even I won't be able to help you then."
"I understand master." I replied realizing the graveness of my master's words.

MC POV:
After much thinking, I have decided to join the Celestial Immortal sect as they are one of the strongest sects in this continent and will help me gain resources.
As the recruitment is still a week away, I really don't have anything else to do.
"Isn't it nice to live a carefree life" I walked down the streets of Nanjing City while humming a song from my previous world.
