I Handed In My Resignation, and Now the Lie-Flat Emperor Is Crying

"Jiang Xingzhou, you're nothing but a beggar I picked up. If you dare harbor any improper thoughts, get out of Misty Peak!"

A hundred years of devoted companionship earned him nothing but a cold rebuke and warning from his aloof master, Jiang Li.

Jiang Xingzhou looked at the withered ice rose in his hand and gave a self-mocking smile.

That night, he left behind a letter severing their master-disciple bond of a hundred years, and volunteered to take up residence in the sect's deserted library.

At the same time, he awakened the "Claim Ten Years of Cultivation Every Day" System.

His senior brothers and sisters risked their lives in the perilous Guixu Secret Realm in pursuit of fortune, barely making it out alive before breaking through to the Half-Saint realm.

Puffed up with pride, they came to the library to show off.

But they discovered that Jiang Xingzhou, who spent his days reclining with vine tea and playing with a dog, had quietly reached the Great Emperor realm long ago!

That day, when Jiang Li learned the truth, her eyes reddened and her Dao Heart crumbled. She knelt outside the library, unable to rise:

"Xingzhou, your master was wrong. Will you come back with me?"

Jiang Xingzhou merely turned a page of his ancient book, his expression calm.

"Peak Master Jiang, please show some restraint. The library is a place of importance, and outsiders are not permitted."
