Everyone says He Xiao is a heartless bastard.
He murdered his own parents, slaughtered an entire household, and even the master who taught and guided him ended up in his hands, tormented in every way until death would have been a mercy.
"Master, everything I am today is thanks to your excellent teaching." He Xiao would always parrot the rumors, reciting them word for word to Xie Huaiyu.
Straddling him, he rocked against him, his smile brimming with malice. "How should your disciple repay you?"
"You vile wretch!" Xie Huaiyu snapped, brows furrowed.
"Did this vile wretch make you feel good, then?"
Watching Xie Huaiyu's reserved, aloof face slowly flush as he sank into the depths of desire alongside him, He Xiao never tired of playing this game.
But eventually, he grew bored. Right in front of Xie Huaiyu, he slit his own throat and died cleanly.
But... why hadn't he died?
And why had he been reborn in some obscure little sect?
Not only that, after being reborn, he had an unremarkable appearance, a miserable family background, and terrible talent. Then Xie Huaiyu suddenly appeared out of nowhere and specifically asked to take him as a disciple.
With the enemy strong and himself weak, He Xiao had no choice but to grit his teeth and pretend to be gentle, respectful, courteous, and humble.
From then on, whenever his master wanted water, he poured tea; whenever his master was tired, he gave him a shoulder massage. He was the very picture of a devoted disciple.
At long last, he finally found a chance to fake his death and escape. As He Xiao plunged from the towering cliff, his radiant smile was almost impossible to hide.
Finally! He was finally done acting out this tender-master, filial-disciple charade! Finally, he wouldn't have to look at Xie Huaiyu's icy face anymore...
A long, powerful hand suddenly seized his ankle and hauled him back up.
He Xiao's smile froze. Xie Huaiyu was crouching in front of him.
"Trying to die in front of your master again?" Xie Huaiyu's expression was darker than ever, but his voice was perfectly calm as he looked at him and said, "Fine. I'll grant your wish."
