Did fate let the man's soul transmigrate to another world so he could learn morals and do good or was it to reward him for his greed and hard work?
[Complete synchronization with "Ji Yan" has been completed.]
A massive amount of memories started flooding my brain.
When I opened my eyes, I was in an unfamiliar world but still familiar
My surroundings shifted, and a surge of memories overwhelmed me. Opening my eyes, I found myself in an unknown yet strangely familiar world—Jianghu, as Ji Yan, the 9-year-old city lord.
Bright curtains framed my bed; the room was a stark contrast to my modern life's design. A translucent blue screen materialized, displaying my 'status info'.

There were two thoughts which came to my mind. First was that I had a problem in my brain and second was that I was lucid dreaming.
Before I could gather my thoughts, I heard a voice.
"Lord, Are you awake?" "With your due permission shall we enter the room?"
I didn't know what reality was and what was Illusion anymore.
Too many supernatural and incomprehensible things were happening at the same time, but I kept my composure as by remaining in shock, I would not reach a reasonable answer.
I permitted them to enter the room. The 3 attendants entered the room and greeted me and asked permission to clean the room. I naturally had permitted them.
One attendant informed me that the Elder of One of the 8 Great demonic sects - Temple of Bliss, and the Vice Head of the Divine Baek family of the neighboring Kingdom - the Han Empire are expected to arrive today and have requested the presence of Lord and wishes for the lord to dine with them.
I didn't respond and ordered them to prepare the bath. There was already so much chaos going on but now I needed to handle this bullshit too.
Once all the Attendants left, I surrendered to the reality at hand and let out a sigh. "Let's delve into this system Panel," I muttered to myself since I was a very adaptable and incredibly sensible person. It was a skill or virtue, you could say, I had to cultivate so I could survive in the Police force and get steady promotions and transfers in the best places.
After thoroughly looking into the System panel, I had finally grasped the situation and foresaw the infinite possibilities and limitless Power I could get with it.
The Martial arts here are power and money. Surprisingly, there exists only one Human race, yet there's a myriad of eye colours, hair textures, and colours, and despite the singular race, a spectrum of skin tones ranges from deep blacks to radiant whites. It's like a mix of murim and fantasy world.
Here everything is based on meritocracy with the exception of the royalty privilege granted to people like me. Well, this brat is talented.
There are 2 Greater continents with multiple kingdoms, all under one empire and one emperor where the Continent I was born in was divided into 9 provinces, namely Qingzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Binzhou, Xuanzhou, Yunzhou, Huazhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou.
Right now, I am the Ruler of Gandara Jianghu which came under the one and only Empire, Yan Empire, and shared the same Bloodline as the current Emperor of the Yan Empire so It wouldn't be wrong to say that I have no lack of authority and money, but I still realized that I was still lacking in individual Power.
So first I started allocating my unallocated stat points.
Then I allocated 50 stat points into luck as it would keep fate and time on my side and distributed the rest evenly to Stamina and Qi as it would pave a foundation for my martial arts.

The young attendant entered the room by slightly pushing the door and informed me that Bath was ready.
Subsequently, I started heading toward the bath.
I had perfectly blended in the role of Kid and acted so naturally that no soul could feel that there was a change in their king.
I liked the feeling too since there were attendants escorting me and then for unpleasant reason there was a Groom of the stool walking with me. But I perfectly blended into my character, so I did not stop her from performing her duties.
After the bath was over, a couple of servants started to help me get dressed.
After performing their duty, they finally left, and my face returned to complete cold indifference instantaneously.
Time passed and now I had to make preparations so I could face Guests from the demonic sect and the Divine Baek family.
Afterall it was undeniable now that I was Ji Yan since I had the memory of this brat and had become him.
'Well, I like his personality.'
Brat was genius but childish which was natural for his age but as a Ruler of Jianghu, this was a fatal weakness. He could be taken advantage of by People belonging to the justice faction and the Demonic faction.
I headed to my office.
While heading to the premises, I was greeted by Imperial Guards and Various Scholars.
After entering the premises I called for the Provincial leader to give me complete details about the reason for the Divine Baek family and Temple of Bliss visit.
The provincial leader greeted me and then gave brief details of the reason for their visit.
The provincial leader was a young-looking, white-haired Eunuch but despite his appearance, He was actually a 47-year-old cunning snake with 20 years of experience. He was a direct family member of the Jin family who joined the government after not being able to become a patriarch.

A voice came from a middle-aged man. It was the commander of the Flying Squad of the Imperial Army. He reported to me about the arrival of Guests.
I told the commander that he'd be there in a short while.
"I'll be there. Instruct them to wait in the dining hall," I said and instinctively commanded.
"…mmm. Don't permit them to sit. Ensure they stand and receive no hospitality from us until I arrive."
By some people faces I could see that everyone wasn't able to comprehend what I meant but the lord's Intentions are supreme and as they were nothing but subjects of mine. They simply followed the order.
"You all may leave and this order is also for you Provincial leader."
"Then the Vice Commander, Commander, and I shall meet you in the Dining Hall," responded the Provincial Leader with a bow, and then quickly left.
1 hour passed this way.
"He is supposed to be a 9-year-old brat, even if he is the king how can he make the Guests wait for so long and not even offer them to sit?" Vice head of Divine Baek family thought to himself.
I finally make my entrance.
"I hope I didn't make you wait for long."
I tried saying it with such a charming smile and captivating voice that no one could even think of anything to refute. Forget saying something.

Everyone greeted me and the guests also gave me various types of gifts from a painting to many 500-year-old ginseng, 1000 year old ginseng, 10000-year-old ginseng..... and some artifacts etc.
"Thank you, I really am impressed and happy with the gift you've provided but there was no need for such expensive gifts."
"Now then make yourself comfortable and take your place."
