Part 1: Ernest's duel

From MC's perspective:

The following day,

After completing the morning routine. I didn't want to cultivate. Rather, I decided to go to the mountain peak today.

Since I have accepted their request. Then I'll have to get ready. I think it would take a day or two to retrieve the item from Glass City.

After figuring it out, I decided to let Ernest know later. 

An hour later, 

After getting ready, I decided to go out. So I walked to the front door. But suddenly, I paused my footsteps. 

There seems to be someone standing behind the door. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. The next second, I activated my perceptual ability.

Then I recognised the familiar figure behind the door. "Jonathan," I said in my heart.

A faint smile appeared on my face.

Creak~

Then I opened the door to greet him.

"You are alert!" Jonathan said while walking into the room.

Then I closed the door before sitting down opposite him.
