The Whole Sect Knows Our Master Cut Off My Love Luck

--Blurb--

1.

Ming Ze was an unambitious couch potato.

He had a wonderful sect, one of the finest in the cultivation world; a wonderful master, the strongest cultivator around; a dear friend who would live and die with him; and a beloved cat who would stay by his side until death.

Ming Ze figured his lazy life would be complete if he could just find a good cultivation partner.

His friend from the Tianming Palace read his fortune and said Ming Ze was destined for romance. His future love interests would all be rich or influential, and they would come to him on their own. Ming Ze didn't need to go looking. He only had to stay home and wait for them to show up.

But Ming Ze waited and waited, and didn't see so much as a glimpse of a love interest. No matter. If they wouldn't come to him, he could go out and look for them.

It just never occurred to Ming Ze that they would all be rotten romances.

The first love interest spent a romantic evening under the moon with Ming Ze, then became cultivation partners with his junior brother a month later.

At their wedding banquet, the love interest looked at Ming Ze with tears in his eyes and said they were not fated to be together.

The second love interest swore eternal love to Ming Ze, then Ming Ze found out he was going to cultivate the Way of Ruthlessness.

Ming Ze went to see him, but the love interest kept the door shut and sent word that their best fate was to cultivate until they became immortals.

The third love interest swore he would never betray Ming Ze, but after Ming Ze returned from a trip, the love interest cut all ties with him.

When Ming Ze asked why, the love interest said that if Ming Ze felt nothing for him, then he would leave, and hoped they would never meet again.

The fourth love interest went home with Ming Ze to meet his elders, then packed up and ran away in the middle of the night.

The fifth was all affectionate with Ming Ze in the morning, then turned cold and treated him like a sworn enemy by afternoon.

At last, Ming Ze was exhausted and done with love. He threw himself into his friend's arms and cried.

His friend was very sure of himself and refused to believe his divination had been wrong. He immediately declared that, as the young lord of Tianming Palace, he could become Ming Ze's cultivation partner and fulfill the prophecy himself.

Ming Ze thought that made sense, so they immediately started arranging their partnership ceremony.

But then...

Ming Ze's master couldn't sit still any longer and showed up at Tianming Palace carrying a battered sword.

The senior disciple of Tianming Palace couldn't sit still either, and drew his sword on the spot, holding it to Ming Ze's neck.

When the former rotten love interests heard the news, they all came to demand an explanation.

[Because there have been too many romances between masters and disciples in the cultivation world in recent years, violating ethical norms, the leaders and elders of the major sects have discussed the matter and added a new rule: fellow disciples who have undergone a formal master-disciple apprenticeship ceremony may not become cultivation partners.]

The reform sent the cultivation world into an uproar.

The strongest cultivator in the cultivation world, Immortal Lord Nan Yuan, had missed the meeting because he was in seclusion. When he heard the news, he broke the divine sword in his hand without changing expression.
