[The Only One Online!!] [Sickly, Scheming Black Lotus Bottom] x [Honest Top with Overwhelming Combat Power]
Gu Qingzhou is the unwanted son of a concubine branch of the Gu family.
Born with a supreme Water-Spirit Root, he was also premature and frail, plagued by lung disease and panting after just a few steps. Everyone laughed and called him “a walking medicine jar who won’t live to twenty.”
The family tournament? He coughed up blood and forfeited.
The sect selection? He showed up in a wheelchair just to make up the numbers.
Everyone thought he was a useless bookworm who did nothing but rest and nurse his health, and waited for him to die by the roadside.
Little did they know
A soft cough from his sickbed could bankrupt a rival family a thousand miles away overnight.
A single chess piece placed by his fingertips could double the price of spirit stones across the entire cultivation world.
The mysterious intelligence network Listening Rain Pavilion, the Treasure Vault, rich enough to rival a nation... These colossal powers, feared by all the major sects, were all secretly owned by this “sickly weakling”!
On the surface: “Cough, cough... This junior is in poor health and truly can’t help.”
In reality: “The game of the world has long been mine to control.”
Then he joined Azure Cloud Sect and met Xiao Lie, a simple-minded young man from a village.
A genius sword cultivator with a Metal-Spirit Root, Xiao Lie was absurdly strong but as guileless as a blank sheet of paper.
While everyone else thought Gu Qingzhou was a burden, Xiao Lie treasured him:
“Senior Brother, it’s windy. I’ll carry you!”
“Senior Brother, you’re hungry? I just made a flatbread with egg!”
“Who dares bully Senior Brother? Let’s see if my sword agrees!”
