Xue Man was born out of wedlock with a single spiritual root. Her biased father took it from her and gave it to her legitimate older sister, then abandoned her at the foot of a mountain to fend for herself.
Xue Man glared resentfully at the family who had treated her so cruelly, thinking that years later she would return in glory and trample the entire Lu clan underfoot.
So when the dignified young man in a wheelchair and a mask held out his hand and said, "I have a disciple named Guan Shan. Your name is Xue Man. Would you be willing to become my disciple?" He also said their sect was one of the Three Great Sects.
So Xue Man became his disciple and left with him.
Later, she learned that this sect had indeed once been illustrious, one of the Three Great Sects.
But now, besides her crippled master in his wheelchair, all it had was her timid senior brother Guan Shan.
The Immortal Sects Association had long since struck their sect from its records.
Her master spent his days fishing or drinking and playing cards with the monsters in the back mountain. Her cautious senior brother was a nervous wreck, hiding inside the protective barrier whenever he heard the slightest disturbance.
It seemed the task of reviving the Qionghua Sect would fall to her alone. So she climbed up to the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Scrolls on her little legs and searched through the books for a way to restore her spiritual root.
But her master's friends were far too numerous, and some even had horns and tails. They definitely weren't human. No wonder her senior brother was so scared that he wouldn't come out of the barrier.
If anyone found out, her master would surely be accused of colluding with the demonic path, and their sect would be wiped out for sure.
So every time a guest came, she kept a close eye on them, just in case.
Demon Realm big shot: "Xiu, can we stop meeting in the human realm? Every time, your little disciple stares at my horns until my scalp starts tingling."
Demon Beast Realm big shot: "Xiu, is your little disciple engaged? What do you think of my seventh son?"
Underworld big shot: "Cousin, when are you bringing little Xue Man to the Underworld for a visit? I'll trade you ninety-nine ghost wives for a day with her."
Ghost Realm big shot: "I think your little disciple is adorable."
Asura Realm: "I heard Xiu took on a little disciple. A girl, too?"
Dragon Prince: "She's the disciple of my great-uncle-in-law's nephew. Nobody's allowed to touch her!"
