I Eat Tomatoes
At the moment I’m guessing that the Pei San trio are from that Sect that puts out the rankings. They probably wanted to test the MC’s strength... On another note, I’m relieved that he’s not got a romance starting with this Cat replica. It’s just too gross due to her age and the fact he’s creeping towards 50 in reality. Plus IET always seems to enjoy this tragic love story trope where the MC’s main motivation is revenge for her, reviving her or becoming strong enough to be with her biz niz. I much prefer him meeting people and enjoying different types of friendships along the way, it’s much less depressing. Albeit him pining for her under the moonlight is still tragic I guess.
