“A man trying to travel in two boats at the same time is always bound to drown,” the words of the old Grand Sage echoed in Zi Han’s ears as he returned to the mansion and went to bed.It had been a long and eventful night, and Zi Han’s tired body craved the sweet comfort of sleep, but his anxious mind kept him awake. Leading two lives at the same time meant that he had to deal with problems caused by both.On the one hand, as the leader of the Black Dragons, Zi Han had to find a way to look after the clan’s business and deal with the Sand Scorpions, while on the other, his life as a simple college student demanded that he focus on his academic goals and maintain the few friendships he had.The easiest choice right now was to drop out of college and focus on the clan, but Zi Han felt he wasn’t ready to take the plunge. Besides, this dual identity helped him take a break from his criminal life and be at ease among the students.However, Kwang’s message about the martial arts competition

Zi Han’s defiant reply sent shockwaves through the crowd of eager onlookers, and their upcoming duel soon became the talk of the campus.While Cheng Li had plenty of loyal supporters, ever since the students learned that Zi Han was a cultivator as well, a considerable portion of the campus crowd shifted in his favor.Even the professors had started treating Zi Han with respect, allowing him to sit where he pleased and take as long as he wanted to complete his assignments.Cheng knew he couldn't afford to get into a scuffle right now or it would disqualify him from the actual tournament, so he backed off, promising Zi Han that he would get a taste of his fists very soon in the arena.Nearly everyone in the college had heard the rumor about Zi Han’s inheritance, and the fact that he had turned out to be a cultivator only added to his stature. Thus, not even the most deranged bullies dared to bother him anymore and even his seniors treated him with respect.However, Zi Han was well on his

At four in the evening, as the last lecture concluded, Zi Han checked his phone anxiously. He knew he had given Zhen Lee a mammoth task and wondered if he had gone overboard this time.“Maybe I could have just asked him to rent a place instead.” Seeing no new messages in his inbox, Zi Han became concerned. There was no way he could take his friends back to the Silver Wind mansion and expose his connection with the Black Dragons, but if he suddenly canceled the plan to take them to his house, it would spoil his friendship and ruin his reputation.Just as he was ready to call Zhen Lee to hear what the problem was, he received a call from Dongxiang himself.“A decent property has been purchased as per your instructions, Master. I am sending you the location right now. I hope you find it to your liking.”A flood of relief washed over Zi Han’s face as he heard those words. “Thank you so much, Dong. You have made my life a lot easier.”“I am always at your service, Supreme Dragon. Just fe

Getting acquainted with the elites of Argos was one of the sole reasons for Zi Han accepting Bridgette’s invitation. But he never expected the Governor’s son to approach him so easily to strike up a conversation.Feng Xiao was every bit the arrogant leader just like his father, but there was a measured shrewdness in his eyes that made him even more deceptive than the Governor. Instead of waiting for Bridgette to do the honors, Feng Xiao took it upon himself to greet Zi Han and offer him a hand of friendship.This unexpected gestured surprised everyone at the party, and even Bridgette felt uneasy.But Zi Han maintained his composure. Instead of showing reluctance, he shook Feng Xiao's hand firmly and spoke in a taut and disciplined voice, “Bridgette told me you’d be coming. But I didn’t know you were so eager to meet me.”Feng Xiao smiled and grabbed Zi Han's hand tighter, his eyes flashing with hints of tame madness.“I always try to stay acquainted with those who are in the news, an

All eyes remained glued to the table as Bridgette twisted her wrist and spun the empty bottle. It whistled as it spun like a glass wheel, disappearing into a blur. When it finally stopped, the bottle’s head pointed straight at Zi Han.Bridgette’s eyes immediately lit up in excitement. She couldn’t believe her luck.“It looks like you just can’t stop being the center of attention,” Feng Xiao joked.“I told you he is quite a special guy,” Bridgette replied before turning to Zi Han. “So, what will it be, handsome? Truth or dare?”“Truth,” Zi Han answered without hesitation.Bridgette smiled with her eyes and leaned forward. “Alright, let’s get to know you a little better. Tell me, Zi Han. Who is this wealthy uncle of yours we’ve been hearing so much about?”“He was a good man…used to own a few farmlands on the outskirts of the city,” Zi Han replied curtly, trying not to go into any details that might give away his lie.“So, he was in the real estate business?” Xiao Feng asked.Zi Han nod
