Scattered, Crushed into Dust, Yet the Fragrance Remains

Synopsis:

Gu Yan appears to be an immortal of profound cultivation, breathtaking beauty, and serene detachment. A faint smile plays across his face; he holds a horsetail whisk in his right hand, rests his left hand behind his back, and walks by in white robes with an air of calm indifference. Anyone who sees him can't help but sigh at his remarkable bearing.

The divine officials in Heaven, however, have a hard time describing him.

What nonsense! He's a fake Taoist with not a speck of magical power, making money by trading on his good looks.

He may lack magical powers, but he once truly climbed a mountain of blades, crossed a sea of fire, destroyed four kingdoms, and made his way through the eighteen levels of hell, then returned to the human world without a scratch.

Why was that? The divine officials couldn't figure it out.

Gu Yan had wondered the same thing, but one sentence from Gui Nuo cleared it up.

Gu Yan: "A Nuo, I went to several haunted places looking for you, but I didn't see a single ghost. I thought you disliked me."

The Ghost King Gui Nuo smiled. "If I disliked you, Yan, those evil spirits would have attacked you. I couldn't bear to see you get hurt."

The divine officials: "..."

As the saying goes, Gu Yan is truly an unparalleled oddity across the Three Realms. Not only did he dare to climb a mountain of blades, cross a sea of fire, destroy four kingdoms, and pass through hell, he also dared to fall in love with the Ghost King.
