[Invincible protagonist] [Subverting expectations] [Slice of life] [Female disciple’s growth]
Jiang Guxian has plenty of time on his hands. He was once a Sword Immortal who split the heavens with a single stroke, but then he sealed his sword.
That is, until the day Yun Qingqian knelt before him and begged him to teach her swordsmanship.
She said, “I don’t want to cultivate immortality or live forever. I just want to learn one sword technique, one that can kill immortals and get justice for my parents.”
He kicked her away. “I’m just a good-for-nothing playboy. What do I know about swordsmanship?”
But later, she witnessed with her own eyes that even without a sword,
he could set the world to rights.
This lazy master, who refused to teach her anything, helped her see all the ways of the world.
She was consumed by obsession, vowing to defy heaven and slay the immortals;
he had seen through the mortal world, yet was willing to draw his sword for her, just once.
