My Master Can't Possibly Be This Gentle

Blurb:

After watching his little disciple blow himself up while holding “him,” Zuo Yao was reborn just before his senior sect brother possessed his body.

Reborn, Zuo Yao was resolute: he would take revenge and spoil his disciple.

Looking at his master, who was endlessly indulgent and affectionate toward him, the little disciple who had also returned to the past began to panic. This wasn’t the master he remembered. His master had never been this gentle!

Later...

The cultivation world gained a master who doted on his disciple to an absurd degree, and a rebellious disciple who wanted to top his master every single day.

Blurb:

Only after Shen Yulin was killed by the protagonist’s face-slapping did he learn that he was merely the villainous master in the novel Against the Heavens, Supreme Venerable: a man whose looks were inversely proportional to his intelligence, and a walking plot device there to torment the male lead early on before getting face-slapped in a reversal.

To avoid taking the male lead as his disciple again, Shen Yulin took in three disciples ahead of time, hoping to spend his days practicing cultivation, drinking, and doting on them.

That was until he discovered that his eldest disciple was the male lead’s half-brother who had betrayed him; his second disciple was the hapless fiancée who had broken off her engagement with the male lead; and his gloomy little disciple, whose real name was Ling Jiangyu, would become the ultimate villain later on, fighting the male lead for girls, cultivation techniques, and magic treasures.

Shen Yulin was moved to tears. Did gathering four villains mean he was summoning the male lead?

He clutched the future ultimate villain and trembled. “Kid, how about learning alchemy instead of swordsmanship?”

If he didn’t learn swordsmanship, surely he wouldn’t end up crossing swords with the male lead at the sword cultivators’ tournament.

The little kid grabbed Shen Yulin’s hand. “I’ll listen to you, Shifu.”

Later, Shen Yulin couldn’t understand it. He had clearly been guiding his three disciples toward the righteous path, and they had all made him proud, becoming heroes everyone admired. So why was their way of doing good so different from that of other heroes?

Especially his little disciple. He practiced alchemy to heal the sick and save lives, yet somehow became an alchemist whose poisons terrified all three realms...
