Master, You Hit Me by Mistake Again

[Two male leads + younger male lead + master and disciple + the ruthless cultivation path + a touch of ensemble cast + coming of age]

A thoroughly melodramatic tale, a scumbag brought to justice, and a pitiful protagonist.

Du Tangyun was sent to another world as punishment for his promiscuity. The original host didn't even survive to the end of the story, but Du Tangyun had to clean up the mess left by his actions.

The children in this other world were easy enough to handle, but the male lead had suffered the most. He kept offering his sincere heart, and their bond as master and disciple, one that neither Heaven nor Earth could condemn, grew ever deeper.

During a disciple trial, Du Tangyun accidentally injured Fu Zhiyu yet again. The Heartless Sword's chilling qi struck, and Fu Zhiyu fell straight to the ground.

"Why are there always other people in your eyes, Master?"

"What have I not done well enough, Master?"

"Why is there no place for me in the world you protect, Master...?"

The Heartless Sword was drawn once more, its blade now aimed at the figure who had been forcing himself to hold on all along.

Another spring came

Du Tangyun opened his eyes to a world renewed. He gently took Fu Zhiyu's hand and said, "Shall we become cultivation partners?"

Fu Zhiyu burst into tears. He had waited decades for this day.
