After the Foolish Furnace Cauldron Made a Pact with the Overachiever Sword Master

Song Xueyin was an ordinary man of humble origins. He crossed mountains and ridges to reach the Sword Sect, determined to join the immortal sect and become a powerful, righteous cultivator.

But before he could pass the entrance test, someone exposed his cauldron constitution in front of everyone, costing him his chance to join.

He had no idea what a cauldron meant.

But he knew that the man who exposed him was called Ning Chen. He looked stern and upright, yet for no reason at all, he had come to harm him!

Unable to become an official disciple of the Sword Sect, Song Xueyin had no choice but to settle for becoming a servant there, hoping he'd stumble upon a cultivation opportunity someday.

It came quickly.

He found Ning Chen, gravely injured and suffering from amnesia, in the back mountains of the Sword Sect.

Song Xueyin didn't know Ning Chen's identity, but he knew that Ning Chen had exceptional natural talent. If he dual-cultivated with him, his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.

So when Ning Chen asked who he was,

Song Xueyin had a sudden idea and flashed him a brilliant smile. “I'm your cultivation partner.”

One day, later on,

the Sword Sect's patriarch deigned to visit Song Xueyin's residence and implore Sword Venerable Ning Chen to emerge and defend against the demon race.

Ning Chen was peeling grapes for Song Xueyin and paid the patriarch no mind.

Song Xueyin was so startled that the grapes fell from his hand. “Y-y-y-you're the Sword Venerable?”

Ning Chen gave a quiet hum, then asked, “Why did you stop eating? Are the grapes not sweet?”

Song Xueyin was close to tears. “You know I lied about being your cultivation partner, too? I'm willing to separate. Let's separate...”

Ning Chen furrowed his brows and glanced at Song Xueyin's slightly rounded belly. “Why talk about separating? It wouldn't be good for the baby to hear that.”
