Yan Zaizen was situated in a guest courtyard for high-valued ones in the Ying Clan. The resident inside the courtyard had several formations that were dedicated towards cultivation support and privacy guarantees. It had a serene layout with a small pond filled with white fishes, plants of colorful nature growing in a small garden, and a big oak tree that would provide comfortable shade from the sun.

This could be considered rather upscaled if one compared to the general minimalistic design of the Ying Clan, but at this moment, Yan Zaizen didn't feel comfortable.

Sitting cross-legged near the pond, he had a frustrated expression on his face. Over the course of the several months, since he's met Han Genji, everything that has happened felt like he was just going with the flow like a spineless puppet. He went against his instincts and was now in this situation.

Firstly, he was kidnapped, forced to be a disciple of the one that kidnapped him, and then teleported away from his home.

Secondly, he was abandoned in a forest by the people who should've been his seniors.

Thirdly, he agreed to join an unknown organization with very little actual benefits the moment it was presented to him.

Lastly, he was plotted against to be this key piece of salvation for this Ying Clan.

In truth, the last two situations were because his greed got the better of him. The organization provided a soul cultivation method that he truly needed that was on par with the superior-grade arts from before. This in and of itself was worth joining an organization that didn't restrict you. As for being brought along by Ying Sumian to heal someone and get a skyship in return, that was sheer greed inspired.

His frustration was infuriatingly deep. He merely wanted to go home, not get schemed against here and there and be a tool for someone else. Why did he have to do any of this? Who did they think he was?

He was tired of this shit.

”Hehe…” Earlier, when they offered him the skyship in exchange for his name, he had little intentions to actually be the fiancé of Ying whatever. He just wanted to get his hands on the method to control the skyship. They underestimated his prowess, believing he only had the strength of a half-step Qi Unification cultivator only.

This would be their downfall.

His eyes lit up with resplendent brightness. Tapping his bag, he retrieved the qi-method that described how to control the skyship. With this, what fiancé? He was going to steal the skyship and leave. The Ying Family is technically the Yan Family's enemies, why should he help them with their issues? Let them all die.

”Hahaha!” He couldn't help but feel abnormally content with his intelligence. Normally, he wasn't very smart, but over time, he started to see more and more of the outside world, and thus didn't restrict his thoughts to just a young master. If you can scheme, why can't I?

This method wasn't extremely hard to practice either. With his Perfect Nascent soul cultivation coupled with his half-step Essence Formation cultivation base, controlling this skyship will be a cinch. As for getting there? He didn't even need to sneak around. He had the soul cultivation that was equivalent to the Origin Core Realm, who could stop him?

All he needed was the method, and now he was like a tiger with wings. Nothing could stop him.

”Hm?” He turned, noticing movement outside of his door. It was a female, young, and had a very stable aura.

”Mister Han, can I come in?” A tender and sweet sounding voice that could make some men weak sounded. Yan Zaizen was baffled. Who was this? He didn't answer at first but used his spiritual sense to examine the newcomer. After realizing she had no means to threaten him with her cultivation level at the initial-Essence Formation, he decided to see what she wanted.

”Who are you? What do you want?” He didn't get up, simply asked.

There was a silence for a while. Then, the woman didn't even bother waiting for him to open the door as a trace of qi erupted and the door opened. Yan Zaizen's eyebrows furrowed. Enter his room without permission? Was she courting death?
