Early morning mist began to clear as the sun rose casting orange and pink onto a thin layer of cloud. The lively chirping of the early birds filled the air.

"Brother Ghost would have woken by now, I need to hurry"

At this moment, a pair of legs rushed forward hurriedly in the direction of the lone house in the mountain.

He was no one but Jack, the disciple who settled down Michael and Gaya yesterday. Usually, Jack would feel tired if he ran from his dorms to the core disciple house, however, today he felt energetic. The number one genius of his generation now belonged to the Sunrise sect which catapulted their reputation among the sects.

"Why is the door still closed?"

Reaching Micheal's house, Jack halted his steps to catch his breath and wondered looking at the closed doors.

Knock!

Jack knocked on the door but he was careful not to knock too loudly in case it would disturb Ghost's cultivation.

"Brother Ghost"

There was no reply from inside as Jack knocked again and this time, he increased the sound of his knocking.

"Brother Ghost"

"Who the fuck is there?"

Jack almost jumped back when an annoyed voice came from inside.

"Huh?!"

A few seconds after his brain processed the voice, he realized the voice sounded feminine and nothing like Ghost.

"Brother Ghost?"

I must have misheard it, that's what he thought.

Thud!

"Go away!"

Jack heard the same voice again and this time, the voice sounded even more annoyed as he heard something heavy as a stone hitting the door.

"Who is there?!"

Panic and uncertainty hit Jack's core. He clenched his fist and shouted loudly.

"Fucking idiot, I'm gonna beat your ass for disturbing my sleep!"

Jack quickly stepped back from the door as the door opened to reveal a black hair girl staring at him furiously.

He had no idea how the girl got in or who was she?

All he knew was Ghost came alone with them yet, there was another girl inside his house.

"Who...are..you?"

The girl didn't answer him but stared at him while tying her ruffled hair into a ponytail. Nonetheless, he could tell that the girl is annoyed but he subconsciously relaxed seeing that the girl is just a commoner and not a cultivator.

"Who the fuck are you?"

"What's going on here?!"

Just as Gaya was chasing Jack around with the stick in her hand, Elder Mark came to the scene.

"Jack, what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything!"

He shouted and felt extremely wronged here considering this girl kept attacking him with the stick for no reason, he was the victim here, yet, Elder Mark asked what did he do?

"Teacher, I didn't do anything, I came to bring Brother Ghost to the assembly hall but instead of Brother Ghost, I saw this mortal girl coming out of the house"

"Mortal? How dare you?!"

She shouted in anger but didn't try to attack Jack who was hiding behind Elder Mark.

"Girl, who are you?"

"I'm Ghost's friend"

"Friend?! You said..."

"Let the girl speak Jack"

Jack quickly shut his mouth but he was so angry and shocked seeing the honest expression she made while talking to Elder Mark.

"Where is Ghost?"

Elder Mark however seemed not to care about Jack's protest as he asked Gaya.

"He's attempting to break through, he asked me to don't let anyone disturb him but Jack tried to do exactly that"

"She's lying!"

"Breakthrough? This soon!"

Elder Mark's brows almost touched his head when he heard Gaya and forgot about the ruckus that happened between her and Jack a moment ago.

"Yes"

But soon, Elder MArk's reaction changed from shocked to panic as he tried to rush forward into the house.

"Hey! Stop"

Gaya jumped in front of him and stopped Elder Mark from taking any steps further

"Girl move aside, if he tried to prematurely tried to break through,it will hinder his cultivation in the future, he must first strengthen his cultivation base"

Even after hearing Elder Mark, Gaya didn't move an inch as she put both her hands on the hip and said.

"I don't care about that, he asked me to guard him while he's cultivating, that's what I'm going to do. Besides, that freak wouldn't have entered into the breaking through process if he wasn't sure about this. Leave him be "

"What do you, a mortal girl know about cultivation? Move or I'll move you"

Elder Mark threatened Gaya as she took out the knife Micheal gave her angrily

"Who the fuck are you talking to? I know more about cultivation than you old fart!"
