"What the...?"

It took him almost twenty minutes to find his villa, and when he did, he was astonished to see that the density of Qi in it rivaled that in the sect master villa.

As Kai Ren was still reeling from the shock, he saw the sect master coming out of the villa with a kind smile.

As soon as Kai Ren noticed the sect master, he bowed toward him and asked, "What are you doing here, master?"

"Oh, I was here to set up some formations and modify your villa. I hope you like them. come on in." The sect master invited him inside the villa.

"They are perfect, master. Thank you." Kai Ren said it with a happy smile as they started walking inside the villa, feeling warm in the heart.

After they entered the villa and sat down, the sect master started talking again.

"There is no need to thank me. You are, after all, my first disciple. Now tell me if you need anything."

The Sect Master said in a happy tone, but the next second, he narrowed his eyes and said in a neutral tone,

"Now, as Master and Disciple, I don't think there should be secrets between us, so tell me about yourself a little bit."

Hearing his master's words, Kai Ren fell in thought for a few moments before he sighed and started to tell the sect master about his past.

"I don't know where I was born, and I don't know who my real parents were, as I was abandoned as soon as I was born. My foster mother, Hua Mei, found me in the jungle when she was returning after gathering herbs."

"She also gave me the name Kai Ren, from which Kai means Victorious as I was able to survive in a deadly forest, and Ren means Kindness because she wanted me to be a kind person who will always help others and show them kindness."

"Although she was my foster mother in name, She gave me love that I believe even a real mother would not be able to offer to her child."

After saying this, a sad look appeared on Kai Ren's face, and his eyes got wet.

"When I was just three years old, my foster father was killed by a beast in the wilderness. A few months after his death, Lin Mei, My little sister, opened her eyes for the first time in this world."

"When I looked at her innocent and cute face for the first time, I felt I could do anything to make her happy."

As Kai Ren said this, a smile appeared on his face.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

"Years went by, and we grew up together. The hole left by my foster father felt filled with Mei-Mei's presence. Life felt complete again. Alas, All dreams must come to an end."

"When I was just ten years old, my foster mother died due to illness. As it turned out, the hole my father left was never filled. My mother never allowed us to feel it, Bearing the entire burden all by herself. And when she could not bear it anymore, she left us."

When Kai Ren said this part, he could not control himself as tears started coming out of his eyes, but he paid them no mind and continued his story.

"Even at her deathbed, she never cared for herself."

"I don't remember much of my childhood, but I clearly remember her tears."

"I remember her sobs. I remember how even when she knew her death was near, she kept apologizing to me, saying, 'I am sorry Little Ren Mama has to leave you and your sister all alone in this world."

"I am sorry.' as she was saying this, tears kept pouring out of her eyes, and then suddenly, she turned toward me and said, 'Little Ren, please take care of Mei-Mei. You are the only one she got.'"

"Sob. After saying this, she stopped breathing, and her eyes lost luster. Sob sob." At this moment, Kai Ren couldn't stop himself and started crying. After all, no matter how mature, he was a fourteen-year-old boy.

Looking at the sobbing Kai Ren, the sect master went ahead, placed his head on his chest, and said in a caring voice, "It's okay, child; you did well."

After crying for some time, Kai Ren regained his composure and stopped sobbing. He removed his head from the sect master's chest and said, "I apologize for my outburst."

"No, it's okay. I am rather surprised that you kept it in for so long." The sect master replied.

"So, shall we continue?" Kai Ren asked.

"You don't have to force yourself." The sect master said after seeing how hurt Kai Ren looked when he talked about his past.

"No, it's okay." Kai Ren replied.

"Well, then, it's your choice," the sect master replied, indicating that Kai Ren could stop if he did not want to discuss it.

"After my mother's death, Mei-Mei became my only reason to live, and only after she was gone did I realize how great of a burden my mother was carrying on her back."

"When I was first exposed to this treacherous world, I was naïve and stupid, but after continuously experiencing it, I learned to navigate this world."

"I continued to carry the burden my mother left behind alone without allowing Mei-Mei ever to feel it." Kai Ren continued his story and started to talk about his life after his mother passed away.

"Was it a hard life? Yes. But did I hate it? No. That's because the only reason I lived was my little sister Mei-Mei, and to make her happy, I could have done anything.

But life did not even allow the reason to remain, and one day, when I returned from hunting, I discovered that my entire village was destroyed and everyone that was at that time in the village, including my sister, died."

"When I found out about her death, I was devastated and felt like heaven itself did not want me to live, and I decided to commit suicide."

"So, when I was going toward a cliff to follow through my thoughts, I fell into a hole that was perhaps exposed due to the battle of the cultivators."

At this moment, Kai Ren is making some shit up because he does not want to expose the fact that he is Azarion's chosen.

"After exploring the hole, I found a glowing orb of light. I decided to inspect it closely, but when I touched it, It went inside my body, and I felt a large amount of cultivation knowledge pour into my brain."

"There was also a cultivation technique at the ancient grade called Whispering Willow Technique that I am currently using to cultivate." Kai Ren Revealed

"You are cultivating using what grade technique?" The sect master exclaimed after hearing Kai Ren casually mention the grade of the technique.
