What Should I Do After I’ve Offended My Junior Disciple?

After spending one passionate night with a handsome young man, I was shocked to discover that he was my newly arrived junior fellow disciple. This is going to kill me! After a series of mutual disdain and tender concern, I thought I was going to win the beauty’s heart. But fate had other plans, and I became the leader of the Demonic Cult! From then on, my junior fellow disciple and I went our separate ways. I figured he must have stopped caring about me. Ling Chi was born in the Northern Desert. At his mother’s instruction, he came to the Central Plains to study under a master, hoping to fulfill a regret his mother had carried for years. But the Central Plains was full of tricks. One careless move, and he was sold to a pleasure house. By a twist of fate, his future senior sister also taught him a lesson in how to behave. He intended to swallow his anger and humiliation and let the matter go. After all, she seemed pretty regretful, too. But as they spent day after day together, Ling Chi realized that he was the only one who still minded what had happened. His senior sister truly didn’t care anymore. But how could she not care? Why did it bother him when she got along with her other fellow disciples? Was he really that petty? Gradually, while fulfilling his mother’s wish, Ling Chi developed a goal of his own. He wanted to be the only person in his senior sister’s eyes and heart. That was much harder than practicing martial arts and taming beasts in the Northern Desert. After all, his carefree senior sister had become the leader of the Demonic Cult. From then on, her heart held the entire martial world, with no room for him.
