After dying and losing his cultivation, Gu Tongchen discovers that he has been transported to yet another world. Looking at the “Ascension” screen with its twenty-year countdown, he secretly gives the System the finger.
System: Build up enough experience, and you can repair your soul and ascend sooner!
Daoist Gu knows all too well that being a lazy freeloader is no easy task. He brushes off nonexistent grains of salt and decides to travel the jianghu for a while.
And then...
A certain princess consort: Little Daoist, Xiaojiu is fated to meet you. Why not let him become your disciple?
A certain cross-dressing master: Since you won't be my disciple, go find me one instead.
A certain palace master: I'll leave A-Fei in your hands, Little Daoist.
A certain sect leader: Being able to guide my son is your good fortune.
And then...
Ninth Young Master: You saw all my embarrassing moments growing up. Aren't you going to take responsibility, Daoist?
Thinking of all the kids he had taken in, Daoist Gu can no longer sit still.
Raising kids is one thing, but now he has to take responsibility and arrange a wife for one of them? I'm out of here!
Ninth Young Master: ...
Hah. Think you can run?
