Immortal Chengyuan, the strongest rogue immortal in the Three Realms, had lived for eight thousand years, and at last Heaven's will forced him to take a disciple.
It wasn't that he wanted one. It was a task imposed by Heaven's will: refuse, and his tribulations would double.
He counted it out on his fingers. One extra tribulation meant five hundred fewer years to live. It wasn't worth it.
So he planned to take just anyone, teach them for two years, then send them down the mountain.
But the disciple Heaven sent him turned out to be the reincarnation of the Demon Lord.
And, even worse, this disciple looked at him every day as if he were their future cultivation partner.
And not secretly, either. They stared at him openly.
Chengyuan suspected he might have taken on a fake disciple.
No, he was sure Heaven's will was messing with him.
He had spent eight thousand years cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness, only for Heaven's will to send him the one person who could undo it, a master of the Path of Affection.
He couldn't go on living like this.
