[Clingy disciple X talkative, highly capable master | Xie Tang X Qi Jiujie]
Qi Jiujie was reborn.
Facing his younger self in a bronze mirror, Qi Jiujie swore to himself: “If I get another chance, I'll make that little wolf suffer.”
That was what Qi Jiujie intended to do. But if everything hadn't followed the same old path, he really might have believed all that talk about reaching the pinnacle after being reborn. It was all a pack of lies.
Still, Qi Jiujie went through the motions, making the same choices and walking the same road as in his previous life. He was waiting for a turning point further down the line.
After half a lifetime of hard work, Qi Jiujie emerged from seclusion.
“Whatever urgent business you have, it can wait! I'll crawl to this disciple-selection ceremony if I have to.”
In his previous life, everyone else had fallen in love with their whole hearts and lived happily ever after. He, on the other hand, had given his heart, his lungs, and even his ass, only to end up with the most miserable bad ending imaginable.
This time, at the very moment he was bound to the System, Qi Jiujie decisively chose the Navigation System. To hell with the Comeback System! This time, he was going to the disciple-selection ceremony to kick that little bastard out the door.
But when he saw the bruised, patched-up little wolf standing below, being passed from sect to sect like a hot potato, his heart softened, and he ended up going down the same old road.
Sure enough, becoming a master never ends well.
