“What a beautiful sight?!” Kent muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the majestic Healing Sun Peak.
After departing from Rising Sun Peak, he made his way directly to this herb haven. Sitting atop his Fire Kirin, he ascended the neatly maintained path leading to the summit, marveling at the lush gardens that adorned the surroundings.
As they ascended, Kent couldn’t help but be captivated by the beauty of the Healing Sun Peak. Unlike the other peaks of the Eternal Sun Sect, this one seemed to exude a sense of peace and serenity.
The sloping terrain is meticulously broken into terraces, each one adorned with a vibrant array of herbal plants and medicinal flowers.
Kent recognized a lot of herbs raised on the slope. During his stay with Thea, he used to help her with the preparation of lecture notes and the gathering of herbs from the market. As Thea worked as an elder in potion making at Sky Family School, Kent studied all the basic books related to herbs and potion making to help her.
Now, as he ascended the Healing Sun Peak, memories of those days flooded back to him. The scent of the herbs filled the air, mingling with the warm breeze that brushed against his skin. With each step, Kent felt a sense of calm wash over him, a reminder of the healing power that resided within these sacred grounds.
Soon, Kent reached the healing sun peak entrance, where a large arch-like structure was built. The name Healing Sun Peak is written in floral script. More than 10 disciples stood guard at the entrance gate, and only one guy was there among all the females. While all the girls were resting on the side, the one single guy waved his hand, gesturing Kent to stop.
As Kent approached closer, those sitting girls reached forward to look at Kent as their curiosity peaked. More than that, all of them were struggling to recognize Kent’s pet, which was glowing with blazing fires. After seeing the girl’s reaction, the sole guy’s face turned grim.
“Another show candidate. Always trying to show off before girls. These days, everyone is targeting the healing sun peak to hit on girls.” The solo guy muttered as he stared at Kent with a serious look.
Soon, the Fire Kirin came to a stop at the entrance gate, and its blazing fires died sown, revealing its majestic presence.
“What is your business here?” The solo guy asked before any girl jumped up to chat.
Kent exchanged a glance with the girls, who grouped up and staring at him from top to bottom. With a sigh, he turned towards the solo guy who questioned him.
“I came here to meet Peak Master, Shreya. Where can I meet her?” Kent asked with a questioning look.
The solo guy made a smirk after hearing Kent’s reply. “How dare you speak the name of Peak Master? Also, without prior permission, the peak master won’t meet anyone. So, stop wasting my time and go back.” The solo guy spoke authoritatively as he stood before Kent’s fire, Kirin, as a blockage.
“Hey, Tinku, don’t you know how to talk with visitors? First, ask him why he wants to meet the peak master.” A short lady among the girl group spoke with the solo guy.
But the solo guy named Tinku didn’t listen to her. He still stood before Kent while demanding that Kent go back.
Instead of arguing with him, Kent took out the red token given by Elder Porus. “Peak Master of Rising Sun Peak gave me this. He asked me to pass this token to Peak, the master of healing the sun.. So, if you don’t let me in, I might need to report the same to Peak Master Porus.” Kent replied in a serious tone.
“What did you say?” one of the girls cried out. All the disciples were staring at Kent with dumbfounded looks.
Suddenly, the solo guy, Tinku, began laughing loudly. With a loud laugh, he grabbed the token from Kent’s finger tips.

“This is the best joke I have ever heard in my life. Guy, if you had said any other peak name, I might have believed for a second. But you really are bold to say that the sun is rising.”
“Hahaha, girls, look at this token. It even had the symbol of rising sun from mountains.” Tinku continued to laugh while waving the token.
Kent’s face turned grim as his fist clenched in anger. Just as he prepared to get down from the Fire Kirin, a stone hit the forehead of Tinku, and he fell flat on his buttocks.
“Who dared to hit me?” He cried out while rubbing his forehead.
Ignoring his loud crying, Kent stared at the girl who threw that stone. Kent recognized the girl with one glance.
Sophia is the daughter of the Chen family patriarch. She is walking towards Kent with a curious face, and a mob of more than 200 disciples is following behind her in uniform lines. Most of the disciples were female, and the male figures can be counted on fingers.
After seeing Sophia, the solo guy, Tinku, kneeled and began kowtowing her. With a serious look, Sophia reached him and extended her hand before him. With shaking hands, Tinku passed the red token snatched from Kent’s fingers.
She raised her hand and stared at the token for a long time. Even though she never saw the official token of the rising sun peak, she could feel that it was genuine.
“We meet again, Mr. Kent.” A smile appeared on Sophia’s grim face. Kent, who had already gotten down from his fire Kirin nodded in response to her.
“Why do you want to meet the peak master?” Sophia questioned Kent while passing the red token.
“Peak master, Porus, instructed me to stay on this peak for the time being. He gave that token and asked me to pass it to Peak Master, Shreya.” Kent replied, ignoring the deciphering gazes of the disciples who stood behind Sophia.
“Currently, Master is busy attending to a guest. You won’t be able to meet her for a few hours. If you don’t mind, you can come with me to the herb collection. I will later take you to master.” Sophia suggested with a smiling face.
After a pause, Kent agreed to her suggestion. Before leaving Sophia turned around stared at Tinku. “You, go and kneel before the ancestor statue till evening.”
Without wasting another glance, she walked in the front and Kent walked beside her. All the disciples were murmuring in the back and some even began taking pictures secretly to inform Zi Chen.
