Question: You discover after being reborn that the world is doomed to die. What do you do?
Ling Wu's answer: Give up and do nothing.
He was once the Immortal Lord Lingri, who suppressed the demonic sects. In his previous life, he fought for the world until his soul was utterly destroyed, yet still failed to stop its destruction.
So in this life, he won't save the people, ask about cause and effect, or do anything at all. He just wants to find a beautiful, quiet place and wait to die.
Then he meets Xie Huang.
White hair, green bamboo, a folding fan swaying gently, and a warm, gentle smile. He knows just what to say to everyone.
The man says, “I am the senior disciple of Immortal Lord Lingri. You have a remarkable physique, so I'll take you as my disciple.”
Ling Wu: “...”
Hey, you just tried to swindle the real deal.
Ling Wu is half-convinced, but still takes the handsome liar as his master.
Because of Xie Huang, he meets a sword cultivator who commands war kites, a dragon girl from the East Sea, a wandering swordsman, a physician carrying a medicine chest, and a group of people with their own agendas who have no choice but to fight side by side.
This life should have been extraordinary.
Too bad Xie Huang is much too good with words.
He always says, “Disciple, I won't lie to you.”
He always says, “Ling Wu, I'll never betray you.”
And then he turns around and walks away.
After being left behind one too many times, Ling Wu gets angry.
He catches the man and prepares to give him a few smacks on the backside. The man looks at him with tears in his eyes and says, “You were the one who lied to me first.”
Ling Wu freezes.
Suddenly, he remembers things he shouldn't remember.
Xie Huang deceived him in one lifetime.
And he might have deceived Xie Huang in many lifetimes.
(, But that doesn't stop him from smacking Xie Huang's backside a few times.)
