As a member of an immortal sect, Jiang Qianling was cool-tempered, yet beloved by her fellow disciples.
What could she say? She was just lucky enough to choose a master with high status, an honest nature, and formidable strength.
As his only disciple, Jiang Qianling's greatest wish in life was for her master to ascend as soon as possible, and then... pass his position on to her.
Fortunately, her master was ambitious. He advanced in cultivation as easily as eating, finishing one meal just as the next was on its way.
Then one day, she went on a trip and came back to find that her master, who had been one step away from ascension, had dropped two levels?
Later, she went on another trip...
And came back to find that he had lost all his cultivation? That he could no longer cultivate the Heartless Way?
Her future looked bleak, so she decisively betrayed her master and ran away, only to find that...
"Ling'er..."
A faint male voice suddenly drifted from outside the ruined temple, accompanied by flashes of lightning and peals of thunder.
She huddled in a corner, trembling, unable to hide the fear in her eyes.
He was here...
He had come looking for her after all...
A white figure wandered through the woods. In the flash of purple lightning, his once flawless skin looked even paler, like a vengeful ghost searching for its prey.
"Ling'er~ Come out~"
"Stop playing~ Your master can already see you..."
Jiang Qianling watched the figure draw closer. She curled into herself and covered her mouth, afraid she might cry out. The rumors were right: you shouldn't spend the night in an abandoned temple, or you'll be likely to see a ghost.
Another bolt of purple lightning flashed, and the white figure suddenly appeared in the doorway. The cold wind made the weathered wooden door creak.
"Ling'er, your master has something fun to show you~ Come out~"
