Han Jiazhu or Master Han, is a cultivator of Han family that wanted to change the world. He wasn't a famous cultivator back then, but he keeps trying until he reach this position. He didn't even have a student eventhough he's famous. Many young cultivators find him so that they could be his student but all of them always ends up failing and get angried by their parents when their home. This is why young cultivator mostly don't come home after their failure to find master Han, and the fact is, their parents really thought that their children met the master. Han Jiazhu knows that he is getting older and he needs some student to replace him when he died. Therefore, he make a long journey trap. Who can pass it and meet him, will be his student. If they can't pass it, they have to accept their consequences which is death.

Tangsan lives alone in a small hut. His parents are dead when he's 6. So from the time his parents are gone, he started being independent for not bothering other people. He keep working as usual without anybody helping him, but well, actually he didn't need anybody to help him because he can also be told as the smart and brave young cultivator. Eventhough he's not as powerful as others, but his brain works so well and even the strongest cultivator in his city get tricked by him. One morning, Tangsan refresh himself walking through the city before he started working. His eyes then started opening so wide when he saw a big roasted gold fish. The smell is making him hungry. Without even asking the cost of it, Tangsan quickly bought 3 of it and finish it himself. "This taste so good, should I buy more? I seriously can't hold it again. It taste like flying to heaven..." Tangsan keep ordering not knowing he had almost finish like 10 fishes.


After he gets full, he's going to get out from the eating house but suddenly someone stopped him. "Why the heck are you stopping-" Tangsan is interupted by the owner of the eating house that told him to pay the bill. "Gongzi, you haven't paid, why are you running away." "Ahaha, I uhh... It's just the- OMG MASTER HAN IS BEHIND YOU!!!" When the owner is looking back, Tangsan just stormed off from the place as fast as possible. "But gongzi, I don't saw master-" He turned behind and realized that he just got tricked. The owner got mad and try to chase Tangsan. Apparently before that happen, Xieyun hold the owners hand. "Don't need to chase him anymore, how much is it? I'll pay." Xieyun offered. "It's 10 tael gongzi." "Here." Xieyun put the money on the table and walks away. "Thank you so much for your kindness gongzi!" the owner bowed as he felt happy.


Tangsan realized that the eating house owner didn't followed him and he felt relieved. "Ugh, I'm save. I'm such a smart man ikr..." Tangsan acted as he proud of himself. When he reach his hut, he heard noises above him and started to look up. "Hey you, if you don't have money then don't need to be that greedy. It's just a fish anyway, you can catch it and roast it yourself." Xieyun sitting on the roof while talking. "It's non of your business, now get your stinky body away from my hut roof or else-" Tangsan didn't finish his sentence for being interrupted by Xieyun. "Or else you're gonna climb up to the roof and kill me?" "C'mon man, I have no time playing with this bullshit. I have job to do here." Tangsan added in stress. "I'll go if you promise me that I may came back after your job is done." Xieyun. "Ok, fine!" Tangsan replied on a mad tone.


After Tangsan done his job, the rain comes. He didn't even remember his promise to meet Xieyun. It's night already and Tangsan just lay himself on the bed and slept without eating dinner. The next morning, he's awaken by the chicken cock a doodle doo sound. He didn't expect Xieyun to stand in front of his hut. "Why didn't you meet me yesterday? Such a liar..." Xieyun looked at Tangsan with no expression.

"It was too late yesterday, and I forgot that I promised that to you. How dare you call me a liar!" Tangsan explained with a sudden scream. "Swear to god!" Xieyun said in disbelieve. "Fine! I swear to god I forgot about the promise! Happy now?" Tangsan said in a mad tone. "Ok ok, don't be mad..." Xieyun smirked for a second. "You're supposed to thank me, not being mad at me..." he added. "Why should I thank you? It's not like you did something for me." Tangsan rolled his eyes. "Didn't you know why you're not being chase by that eating house owner? It's because I paid the bill for you." Xieyun explained. "No wonder when I passed the eating house the owner didn't chase me, besides he just ignored me." Tangsan replied.


"So, you want me to pay you the money back? You know what? I'm broke. So you better make me do something else..." Xieyun keep thinking what should he make this little guy do and thought of something. "How about... you go with me to the long journey trap. If you pass it first, I'll let you go. But if I pass it first then, you should hand me your sword. How is it? Deal?" Xieyun asked. "But the rule there was written down if somebody gets into the trap, their consequences is death. How if one of us gets trapped?" Tangsan added worriedly. "Then don't get trap, do you even learn kungfu?" Xieyun rested his head on the hut wall. "Well obviously, I can be told as one of the strongest cultivator in this city"  Tangsan replied. 


"I think we should give it a try, it's not gonna be that hard I guess. The thing I knew is, if somebody can pass it, they'll be Master Han's student." Xieyun persuade. "It's actually not a bad idea. But if I get trapped and died, I'll be haunting you for my whole life." Tangsan added. "Ok, I don't mind. I don't believe in ghost anyway, plus I won't care if you got trap and died." Xieyun replied. "Like I care if you died." Tangsan rolled his eyes. "By the way, the seal of the long journey trap will be unsealed tomorrow. Meet me there when the sun rises." Xieyun walks away and smirked. "Hey you! How if I can't wake up early tomorrow? Why should it begin on sunrise? Hey!!" Tangsan screams and started pouting in anger.


Xieyun stops and answered him. "Can you stop complaining already? Anyways, just call me Xieyun. And you?" "It's Tangsan." Tangsan replied. "Tangsan? Ya! xiao Tangsan! Your name is quite cute tbh..." Xieyun added while smirking. "Yaaaa! Stop calling me that! I'm not a little kid!!!" Tangsan screamed on anger and started pouting again. Xieyun look at Tangsan and smiles a bit while looking down. "You should learn to wake up early. You told me that you have job yesterday and work until you don't have time, how could a diligent person like you wake up late in the morning? I wonder what time did you eat breakfast every morning..." Xieyun added again. "You!" Tangsan was so mad as he get inside the hut and bangs the door.


Xieyun just smiled and walks away. Before the d-day, Xieyun and Tangsan both learn and learn to increase their martial power. Since they didn't know what danger will they face there. Tangsan actually have no will to go there and fight to be Master Han's student, but because of his dept to Xieyun, he forced himself to get stronger before the d-day. Xieyun also didn't have the will, but he didn't know what will he make this little Tangsan do. Hence, he ended up with this stupid idea.
