The Heartless Are Always Troubled by the Lovelorn

Original title: After Cultivating the Heartless Way, My Disciple Proved the Way for Me

Immortal Venerable Mu Zhenxian cultivated the Heartless Way in his previous life, forsaking all feelings and attachments. But his disciple, Shen Wen, made a mess of everything, claiming he loved him. In the end, he became consumed by inner demons and turned into a demon cultivator.

Mu Zhenxian was troubled. His heart was set on cultivating immortality, and he wanted nothing else.

After Shen Wen fell to the demonic path, he fought Mu Zhenxian for thirty rounds. Then, for some reason, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck. Mu Zhenxian's vision blurred, his hand slipped, and he failed to dodge a sword he'd normally have evaded with ease. Shen Wen ran him through.

As Mu Zhenxian died, he saw a golden light flash around his unworthy disciple, who was holding him and weeping. Shen Wen ascended to immortality on the spot.

Immortal Venerable: …?

He stared blankly and thought, Is something wrong with the Heavenly Dao?

But when he opened his eyes, he found that he'd come back to life, with Shen Wen sitting expressionlessly beside his bed.

Only later did he learn that Shen Wen had experienced such profound grief and pain that he'd seen through worldly attachments, comprehended the Heartless Way, and ascended.

And much, much later, he discovered that this brat hadn't truly abandoned his attachments at all. Every day, he secretly got jealous and went to absurd lengths to win his master's heart.

One day he'd deal with a rival in love; the next, he'd pretend to be injured so Mu Zhenxian would take care of him.

Over time, Mu Zhenxian realized that he actually fell for this sort of thing.

Should he choose the Great Way of detachment, ascending to immortality and parting ways forever, or choose another path to immortality and become an immortal couple?
