Ling Zhao was reborn.
In his last life, he was pierced through the heart by his master Lu Qingci's sword and died in the snow that never melted at Cangwu Peak. In his last glance before his death, he saw a flash of scarlet magic light in his master's eyes - that was demonic energy, and there was no way he would admit it.
In this life, Ling Zhao suppressed his spiritual roots, pretended to be mediocre, and deliberately resonated with Lu Qingci's ice energy on the test bench, just to become his disciple again. He wanted to expose the true identity of the first elder of the Immortal Sect with his own hands - Demon Lord Xuan Ming. He had sneaked into the Immortal Sect for hundreds of years and deserved death.
He plays a naive and reckless apprentice who sticks to Lu Qingci every day as "the master is great and the master is short". Collect evidence, record flaws, and secretly set up a dragnet with the leader of the Immortal Sect—every step brings you closer to the end of revenge.
But what he didn't expect was that Lu Qingci discovered that he was a reborn person earlier than he did. He didn't expect that Lu Qingci had long since eradicated the "mind-controlling poison" that controlled him to kill people in his previous life. In this life, he protected him, taught him, blocked his sword, and stayed by his bed late at night... All out of his own heart.
Immortal Sect Ceremony, the evidence is made public. Ling Zhao held his sword against the Master's throat, and the whole audience was waiting for the Demon Lord to kill him. Lu Qingci smiled at him and said softly——
"You're a better actor than me."
Then crush the magic core and disappear into ashes.
Ling Zhao knelt in the scorched earth, and realized in hindsight: he had taken revenge, but he had suffered a complete defeat. Until he opened the diary left by his master——
"If one day my identity is exposed, I would rather die by Zhao'er's sword. This is considered satisfactory."
He held the notebook and cried until he lost his voice in the empty Cangwu Peak.
