I
After transmigrating into the original story as a cannon-fodder character who opposed the protagonist, Qi Guanchen made it his mission to compete with the protagonist, Qin Yunjin, in everything. And then he lost once, twice, and again... Every time, he was ground into the dirt.
Qi Guanchen: ...Damn it, he refused to believe this!
Qi Guanchen refused to give up. He kept fighting, losing, and fighting again, successfully becoming the perennial runner-up. In a furious rage, he declared, “I’ll be at odds with everyone surnamed Qin for the rest of my life!”
Qin Yunjin, the one surnamed Qin: Hah.
II
The original story’s protagonist, Qin Yunjin, was cold and stern. Although his cultivation far surpassed that of his peers, he was secretly ostracized because of his lowly birth.
Accustomed to facing everything alone, Qin Yunjin was poisoned after someone plotted against him before a major competition. With no way out, he prepared to die in the arena.
Who could have guessed that his mortal enemy, Qi Guanchen, would appear before him and toss him a bottle of antidote pills? Raising his little chin proudly, he said, “Hmph, don’t get the wrong idea. I’m only helping you because I don’t want our sect to lose face.”
Turning around, Qi Guanchen pointed his sword at the challenger, acting outrageously arrogant. “What kind of nobody thinks they can challenge our senior brother directly? You’ll have to get past me first!”
III
After Qin Yunjin fell to demonic cultivation, he forgot everything about his past. The first time he saw Qi Guanchen, he wanted to keep the little golden birdie by his side.
So he kidnapped him and hid him away in his palace, intending to keep him as a beloved treasure. But he never expected the little golden birdie not to panic or get angry. Instead, he threw himself at Qin Yunjin and greeted him warmly as Senior Brother.
Qin Yunjin’s expression darkened at once. Who did he think he was?!
He was calling him Senior Brother so intimately. They must not be proper fellow disciples at all. The immortal sects were full of filth and depravity!
He turned away and ordered darkly, “Go! Find out who this Senior Brother is! I’ll kill him with my own hands!”
