*A sudden idea
Xie Pingxiao had always been at odds with Jiang Xuan. They couldn't stand the sight of each other.
When news arrived that Jiang Xuan had died unexpectedly, Xie Pingxiao paused, then smirked and sneered, "He died that easily? That was too good for him!"
After tossing out an insult, he put the matter out of his mind.
Until one day, he accidentally trespassed into an ancient secret realm and saw a familiar figure standing atop countless corpses and bones.
The waning moon was blood red, and crows cawed mournfully. The figure slowly opened his eyes, his expression vicious and his gaze icy. "You think you can covet..."
It was none other than Jiang Xuan, the former first disciple of Lantian Sect, his nemesis, who had recently died and fallen into infamy.
Xie Pingxiao stared at Jiang Xuan's tattered clothes, his brows furrowing into a frown. Without a second thought, he cut him off. "What are you doing?"
"...covet... Uh..." Jiang Xuan had been about to deliver a cringeworthy line, but froze when he recognized the familiar face. He simply plopped down on the pile of bones and raised his voice. "Why is it you?"
The creepy, terrifying atmosphere vanished without a trace, along with the villainous expression he'd put on.
Xie Pingxiao frowned and repeated his question. "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xuan gave an awkward laugh and quietly defended himself. "Well... bosses in secret realms usually have a line before the boss fight! I just came up with one myself."
His eyes sparkled as he asked, "How was it? Pretty imposing, right?"
There he went again, saying weird things!
Xie Pingxiao couldn't understand him anyway, so he casually ignored him. "You faked your death..." He paused, his expression hard to read. "Just to dress like this... and scare people?"
"Of course not!"
Jiang Xuan muttered through the whole story.
Only then did Xie Pingxiao learn that someone had altered Jiang Xuan's fate. His body had been sealed away, and his reputation and cultivation had been stolen. Now he could only wander the secret realm as a lonely ghost.
Xie Pingxiao already hated seeing Jiang Xuan looking so pitiful, and hearing that someone had set him up made him even angrier!
He couldn't help feeling that his nemesis dying so easily made him look bad too!
Before leaving the secret realm, he stared at Jiang Xuan, who had somehow produced a handkerchief and was putting on an act, bidding him a tearful farewell. Almost against his will, he asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
The moment the words left his mouth, he regretted them.
