Jian Xue was born in winter.
A bitter winter.
The crops in the village froze to death, and the land was strewn with starving corpses.
Jian Xue had neither father nor mother, so he naturally became everyone's target.
Whether to call it good luck or bad, on the day he was due to leave, demons slaughtered the entire village, leaving a field of skeletal bodies.
Luckily, Jian Xue was quick-witted. He dragged himself beneath the corpses with his last breath and finally waited for the immortals of Lianya Mountain to arrive and vanquish the demons. Only then did he shakily push aside the bodies of his fellow villagers, grab the immortal's robes, and kowtow again and again.
The immortal was the sect leader of Lianya Mountain, a compassionate soul. After examining Jian Xue's spiritual roots, he took him in as his personal disciple.
From then on, Jian Xue devoted himself to cultivation and became the greatly respected senior disciple of Lianya Mountain.
"Senior Brother, this month's spirit stones need to be redistributed."
"Senior Brother, the Discipline Hall has taken in several more enforcement disciples."
"Senior Brother..."
With an approachable smile, Jian Xue took care of one matter after another.
"Senior Brother, Master has brought back another junior brother!"
Jian Xue beckoned for A Luo to bring the newcomer over.
The newcomer was a boy, around fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in fine silk that shimmered with brilliant colors, his jade ornaments chiming as he walked.
He was handsome, with regal phoenix eyes, skin whiter than snow, and lips as red as rouge. Even when he met Jian Xue, he showed no sign of humility. Instead, he folded his slender arms and raised his chin.
A spoiled young master, arrogant and ignorant of his own limits.
Jian Xue disliked people like him.
But he kept smiling.
