24

Inside the library, Zhang Kai was taking a short break. After reading dozens of books, there were large eye bags on his face. Zhang Kai had been staying up late these few days, he had only slept for a few hours.

At first, he was reading about history and major events that happened. He wasn't very focused at first, but after finding something interesting, he kept reading until he was unconscious.

He read one by one various books, and the more he read the more interested he became. Even while sleeping, he thought about the book.

There were many books lying under him, Zhang Kai massaged his dizzy head. He finally felt his body start to get heavy, "this seems to be the limit" he had broken the seal for a week, it was amazing.

"If I'm not mistaken, the engagement is today. Maybe I should sleep for a while" Zhang Kai had not slept yet, even though it was early morning, but he decided to stop reading.

Zhang Kai had gotten the information he wanted, although the information related to cultivators was incomplete. But the information from this book, was enough to answer his curiosity.

There was a lot of information that surprised him, including that the empire he lived in had a history of tens of thousands of years and was considered a young empire.

His mouth gaped, he did not think there was an empire that could stand for so long. It seemed very impossible for the kingdom on earth to do, he was really amazed.

But when viewed from the great war with the demons, it might make more sense. Because the war had happened hundreds of thousands of years ago, where all the cultivator schools joined forces to fight the demons.

That war was fought for a very long time, according to records. The war lasted for thousands of years, giving birth to many new histories and new heroes.

But the records of the war were full of mysterious holes, there were many stories that were cut on purpose. Some were even forced to be changed, and there were even histories about the war that made no sense and were strange to him.

Like how the war ended and why the history was cut like this. Like someone was covering something up, Zhang Kai was curious but wouldn't think much of it.

After the war, many empires were born until now. According to the book, the size of one empire is very large.

Especially after Zhang Kai obtained a complete map of the Flower sac province, which is a province that covers dozens of counties, the plum wind city turned out to be just one of the dozens of cities of the eyelid county.

Zhang Kai did not expect that a single province would have dozens of counties under it. The area of just one province was so massive, it really stunned Zhang Kai.

Surprisingly, Zhang Kai did not find his hometown. It was a white sand city, he had to squint his eyes to find his hometown.

He remembered that the city should still exist in the Silver River Empire. However, he did not remember or know the location of the province or county.

Zhang Kai thought, the white sand city must be from another province. He was quite sure, because he was certain that he did not pass by any of the cities on the map given by An Zhou.

"I will keep your promise my friend, take it easy" he muttered, speaking to the owner of the body before him.

This boy was determined to earn honor and wealth for his family, he wanted to make his family proud with his work. But unfortunately, he died before he arrived.

Zhang Kai had something to protect now, even though they were not his original family. At least, he would take care of them so that the previous owner of the body would die in peace.

Zhang Kai will enter a large sect, by entering a large sect. Even government people would be afraid, they would bow in respect.

The sect was divided into 4 levels, they used the star system. The more stars they had, the bigger and stronger the sect was.

The sect of the three young cultivators, was not a sect with stars. They were just a small sect in this district, which wasn't even on par with a 1-star sect.

A 1-star sect, was already equivalent to the strength of 1 province and they had many disciples. Their strength could not be imagined by him, but he was sure that it was very powerful and great.

He intended to enter a 1-star sect, if he read the history book of Flower sac province. There was a 1-star sect located in the North of the province, it was probably about 1-2 months' journey by horse to get to the province city.

Zhang Kai decided to ride a horse, he would rent a horse with his horse carriage. He wanted to enjoy the journey quietly, he originally intended to fly but changed his mind.

There were too many dangers and mysteries, he didn't want to die young because it was too conspicuous. He hoped to find an artifact, he read a book.

In this world, there were many artifacts scattered in many places, some people even found them in the wild grass. Until someone became a cultivator, it was a very interesting story to him.

He couldn't wait to start his adventure, it was thrilling for him. Although he had been through many wars, but right now he needed a short break.

Outside the library, the entire residence was filled with people and various party decorations. On each side of the residence were guards, An Zhou did not want to be missed again.

"Senior, he really didn't come out at all. I'm getting suspicious, he's from outside the empire." Fang Kong said as he narrowed his eyes, watching the library for the past few days.

"Can't be too suspicious, he can kill us with just a movement of his hand" said Yun si who was always nervous when talking to Zhang Kai, Fang kong mocked.

"That's right Yun Si, there's nothing we can do. If anything happens, I've already sent a letter to the sect." The three of them watched Zhang Kai, knowing that Zhang Kai was not employed by An Zhou.

According to an zhou's account, Zhang Kai came to him and asked about an rui. Then he met up with them, his arrival was too coincidental and they suspected Zhang Kai.

So, the three of them watched the library from a distance. Duan Wu ordered them, because only the three of them were cultivators here and were able to stop Zhang Kai.

They had been vigilant for the past few days, even while sleeping they carried their weapons. Only the three of them were suspicious, but the others didn't suspect a thing.

"You two, go take care of Miss An Rui immediately. For some reason, I have a bad feeling." Duan wu said.

An Zhou asked her to look after An Rui, once the party started. He could only trust the three of them to look after his son, Duan wu could only tell his junior.

"Alright" said fang kong lazily, but they left anyway.

At the Bai Family residence, there were luxurious horse-drawn carriages lined up. They were colorfully decorated, which was a tradition.

Inside one of the carriages, there was Bai lan and his family. They were preparing to leave for the city lord's residence, they didn't expect that their son would actually marry An Rui.

"You're so handsome" his mother praised him, Bai lan had put on the best clothes and the best makeup for him.

Bai lan had been nervous since this morning, but he tried not to show his nervousness. "It's okay to be nervous, Dad is like that too. You can relax, your mom and dad are here." Bai Zan calmed her son down.

Even though his father said that, his heart still said he was nervous. All preparations have also been made, there are dozens of guards standing on each side of the horse carriage.

Due to yesterday's incident, the Bai family was also guarded so tightly to avoid anything bad from happening.

"Okay, get going, we can't be late" Bai Zan said.

The guan guards gave the signal, finally one by one the horse carriages were running. The whole town celebrated this engagement day, they threw flowers at the Bai family's horse carriage.

All the townspeople were so enthusiastic, this engagement party was very important to them. Because of the cultivators, this town had never been visited by cultivators before.

As soon as they heard that there was a cultivator, the whole town welcomed it with great enthusiasm. Moreover, it was rumored that a powerful cultivator was coming to attend the event.

There were only 2 people who were not enthusiastic about the wedding, they were in the fourth elder's horse carriage. They were last in line, Bai San was also in it.

The fourth elder was furious with the success of this engagement, he already couldn't stand in the way of this event. Even if he wanted to, he would be the one targeted especially since Lord An Zhou had tightened security.

The fourth elder didn't realize that his son had changed so much. He had become stiff, his gaze was blank and his nature had become cold like the undead.
