Plum wind city, is a city with a small size but densely populated. The population is nearly 7,000 people, and although it is a small town, it is actually very spacious and well-organized.

Zhang Kai was fascinated as soon as he saw the city gate, there was a huge 3-5 meter high wall with guards surrounding it. He was truly amazed, seeing the beautiful architecture.

Moreover, once he entered the city, he saw buildings that were thick with Eastern culture. They wore elaborate clothing, but it looked very beautiful and full of intricate motifs.

Zhang Kai's caravan entered without being inspected, unlike other visitors to the city, they had to pass the inspection. This must be because of the Bai family's status, Zhang Kai was sure of it.

Especially seeing that some soldiers were saluting, "so true, status is very important in this world" Zhang Kai smiled, he had to thank old man Shan.

He got a lot of valuable lessons about life from old man Shan, once he went deeper. Starting to see the density of people, Zhang Kai saw that there were all kinds of different people.

He also smelled the smell of food that made him tempted, the women here also had faces with beautiful standards according to him.

As he went deeper, he could see the difference in living quarters that were better and more comfortable. Wherever people are, they still differentiate between the poor and the rich.

There wasn't even a single beggar around these streets, although this area was smaller, there were more guards. Finally, the caravan turned into a luxurious manor, with guards in front of it.

Then Zhang Kai stopped at a building, although it was not the biggest building in this manor, it was still very large and spacious. "Hurry down, follow me" Bai Lan walked up to him, he looked so excited, like a child who wanted to show his new toy.

As Zhang Kai came down, he looked at the house in front of him. "From now on, you will live here with me. Of course, not here but over there." Bai Lan pointed to a fairly large simple building, which was located at the corner of the house.

"Starting tomorrow, you have to wake up before I do and I'll explain your work tomorrow. For today, I'm too sleepy. Jin kong, take him to his room!" Bai Lan shouted.

A fairly old man approached him, "He's Jin Kong, our butler. If you need anything, ask him for help." Bai lan left with a yawn.

While jin kong smiled kindly, as soon as Bai lan left, jin kong's face immediately changed. "Follow me and don't ask questions" Jin kong turned cold, he didn't even look at Zhang Kai's face.

Zhang Kai, meanwhile, finally understood Guan's warning. "First rule in this house, don't dare to lick in front of me or you will suffer the consequences. Then, don't try to ask me for help if it's not important, everyone live their own lives and don't interfere with other people's problems. Remember that!" Jin kong spoke coldly.

"Yes, Mr. Kong." They entered the dormitory, several servants were living there. Their gazes were respectful towards Jin Kong, but cold towards Zhang Kai.

"This is your room, don't be late tomorrow" Zhang Kai then nodded, while Zhang Kai immediately left.

In Zhang Kai's room, there were two beds and a simple room, without any equipment. "Looks like, this will be my room for a long time" Zhang Kai laughed with a big smile.

He was planning to make his bed, but it was actually still clean. "Hoooo, looks like you're my new roommate!" Someone came in with an excited voice.

Zhang Kai smiled, there was a young man who looked friendly and welcoming, he was full of sweat and his body was slightly muscular. "I'm Lin Bei, the third elder woodcutter" he struck a pose, and Zhang Kai smiled awkwardly.

"I'm Zhang Kai, greetings" Zhang Kai stuck out his hand, Lin Bei accepted it and smiled widely.

"Sit down, I'll explain things to you" Lin Bei turned a little serious, then sat on his bed and explained things to him.

Later that night, Zhang Kai was daydreaming. He had not been able to sleep, because Lin Bei was sleeping snoring, also he was digesting the information from Lin Bei.

Zhang Kai finally understood everything about the Bei family, the servants were also competing for power here. It felt like this house was a battlefield for all the residents.

According to Lin Bei, the strongest position was held by the first elder as well as the current family leader. He is the leader of the family, while his son is the deputy leader.

The servants under his position are more powerful than the other servants. They have the right to command other servants, to a certain extent.

The second position is held by the second elder, he is the grand treasurer. The most feared person by everyone, even though his position is only second, he has no relationship and no children.

In addition, the second elder didn't trust anyone and only had a few servants. He did everything himself, but thanks to that, no funds and no money went to waste.

The third position was held by the third elder, the supervisor, Bai Zan himself. He's rarely home, as he's often traveling around the city to check on the family's businesses.

Finally, the fourth elder. His position as secretary, he has two children who both have big ambitions.

The rest are just other bigwigs, only 4 are in the strongest position in this family. The successors compete with each other, they fight using connections and various other means.

So was Bai lan, according to Lin Bei. The purpose of Bai lan's trip with her father was to make a connection with a cultivator.

If Bai lan got the support of a cultivator, it was certain that she would get the position of chairman. Cultivators' status was incomparable to any job, they had the highest status.

Zhang Kai became even more curious and interested, in what exactly cultivators were like and how powerful they really were. To the extent that they were so respected, even their stories were revered.

But Zhang Kai thought more about what Lin Bei said, in his opinion. He had to be careful with Qian he, Bai lan's main servant who had served for several years.

According to him, Zhang Kai's arrival would be both a rival and an enemy. Zhang Kai just laughed at that, 'I do have a talent for making enemies' he thought with a wry smile.

He has not even been in this world for a month, but has already made enemies without making trouble. It was a strange feeling, and nostalgic too.

Lin Bei reminded him that he should be careful with Qian He. Because his mother was one of the servants of Bai Zan's wife, she had some power.
