In front of me is a young man with a great resemblance to Zheng Wei, his name is Zheng Yi. He looks quite similar to his father, a handsome face with sharp eyebrows. At first glance, his character is not as exalted as depicted in the novel; Although he shows pride, he does not reach the point of being mowed down by anger. Did he care that much about that fiancée of his?
After taking a look at the young man named Zheng Yi, I took in my surroundings in detail. I am currently in what looks like a meeting room, accompanied by the father and son duo. As I ordered, he kicked out all the servants and guards from the mansion. So, there is no one around us who can bother me if I start now.
"How important is your father to you?"
"I would give my life for him."
The boy's response was sincere and concise. Will his determination be as sincere as the words that just came out of his mouth?
"I understand, do you know who I am?"
"You are Mo Hei Xin."
He hesitated a little when he heard my words, but in the end, he said my name instead of my title. The atmosphere in the room was charged with tension, they reacted to the slightest movement he made.
From my ring I took out a very sharp and great looking dagger. I had it rub above their heads, twisting and turning. It's quite fun to see those expressions on their faces; They are aware that if I want to finish them off, they will have no chance to fight back. Is this absolute power? It would have been very useful for me on Earth.
I made the knife rub in front of the boy's face; His father didn't seem very happy to see my actions, but he didn't argue.
"I want to help you, young man. But I don't know if you have enough will to accept it."
"If you don't accept, destiny will destroy everything you have right now. Whether it's talent, fiancée, or your dear father."
"If you accept, you will become my only disciple. You will avoid the death of your father; but you will be considered a traitor by everyone."
"If you reject the offer, pick up the knife and hand it to me; If you accept, hold the knife and open your bowels."
Both were already quite upset by my words earlier, but my last sentence left them sweating profusely. Seeing that the father was about to act, I snapped my fingers, restricting his movement and cultivation base.
"Your father will not be able to do or say anything, this will be your decision."
Understanding the situation, the boy stood up and picked up the knife. He walked heavily towards me, holding the handle of the dagger tightly. I felt disappointed when I saw his actions, I honestly expected more from this boy.
'Your words from before were nothing more than…?'
My thoughts were stopped when I saw that he stopped a meter away from me, still holding the dagger. He looked me straight in the eyes and smiled.
Unlike the soft words that came out of his mouth, his next movement couldn't be more abrupt. He held the handler of the dagger with both hands; and stuck it in the upper part of his abdomen. Keeping his gaze on me, he continued to open his stomach. Its action did not stop until it formed a large vertical cut in his abdomen. When he finished, he handed me the dagger with trembling hands.

Keeping the smile, he told me:
"I agree."
After that, blood continuously came out of his mouth; and the organs flowed out from the large pit that had just formed. His condition was not good at all, if he is not treated quickly, he will die.
"Hahaha …"
I couldn't help but laugh, I didn't expect this guy to look so much like us. He was barely conscious, trying to breathe as best he could; I could notice that his pulse was progressively decreasing. Despite this, there was no remorse in his eyes. Is this the same boy who committed suicide in the novel?
I raised my hands, making him rub in front of me. With a wave of his hand, a pill appeared in the palm of my hand. I opened his mouth and gave it to him. The pill I just gave you is not as rare and unique as the dagger he used. On the contrary, even wandering cultivators have many saved.
After eating the pill, his injuries gradually recovered. The organs that were on the ground magically returned to their place. I could see that he was healthy enough to talk to me.
"Can I call you Master now?"
Hearing his question, a smile appeared on my face. This is what it means to have a disciple to be proud of.
"Swear by the heavens that you will not betray me."
"I, Zheng Yi; I swear by the heaven that I will never betray my master."
"Well done, my disciple. From then on, days full of difficulties await you. Rest a bit; We will leave at night, spend time with your father until then."
After saying that, I released Zheng Xiu from the restrictions. I noticed his anger and frustration, but he didn't act against me; but he hurriedly approached his son. I walked away, leaving a quiet moment for the father and son duo.
-----
It's night, it's very windy, but I don't feel cold at all. The cultivation world is very extraordinary.
"Master."
My new disciple is sitting on the floor in front of me. I told him we were leaving tonight; but when I arrived, I simply sat down to contemplate the starry sky. Speaking of the sky, it is very difficult to see a night sky as beautiful as this on Earth.
As I turned my gaze to the stars, I reflected on my actions today. I've barely been in this world for 20 hours and I've already killed 17 people.
Also being that the emotions I lost slowly return to my body. It's been a while since I laughed as much as I did today.
Are the changes due to my new body?
Are there any other changes I haven't noticed yet?
"Master."
Looks like I forgot about this little guy again. I directed my gaze towards my student's handsome face. I looked at him for a while, and said:
"Would you believe me if I told you that I know the future?"
"Yeah."
He responded with such certainty that it left me speechless. It seems that for him I am someone who borders on the divine. Or, his father must have told him something about me? At least he doesn't show nervousness or fear, it feels good to receive looks other than fear.
"In that future, you will die at the hands of a young man named Ye Xiu."
"You mean …"
"Yes, the same guy who is rumored to be close to your fiancée. According to the original script, your cultivation base will be shattered by him, your father will die at his hand, and your fiancée will become part of his harem. After all the suffering, you will commit suicide with tears and regrets."
Seeing her complicated expression, I smiled and asked:
"Do you like that future?"
Instead of answering my question, he continued to reflect on the gravity of my words. I didn't interrupt him, I looked at the sky again while I let the boy think.
"…Master, why are you helping me?"
"You look too much like me, my dear student. Unlike you, I never had a teacher like me. I suffered the same fate as your future you; but I didn't commit suicide. Instead, I tortured the person responsible until his last breath."
"In the so-called future, I will also die at his hand. But things have changed, right now I can easily kill Ye Xiu, but I don't want to. Instead, I want to give you the opportunity."
"I will follow your teachings, Master."
I saw that there were still traces of doubt on his face, but I didn't point it out to him. Everything in due time, there is no need to rush.
"Do you want to know where we are going next?"
"Yes Master!"
With a laugh escaping my mouth, I said, "Let's go kill a bitch."
