When You Shi was little, all the neighbors knew him as a sweet little angel. He was polite and well-mannered, with a silver tongue and a talent for acting cute.

Then his parents cheated on each other, and the older boy next door who had raised him vanished without a trace. You Shi was left completely on his own.

He grew rebellious, skipped school, and got into fights without mercy, despite his innocent-looking face. He was the one climbing walls and arriving late, the one at the bottom of the class, the one writing a self-criticism every Monday.

He mocked the troublemakers at an internet cafe, laughing, "Quit yapping, losers," then turned around and punched someone who seemed to be with them.

Only later did he find out that the person he'd mistaken for one of them was his childhood friend...

You Shi: "?"

"You're pretty good at fighting," his childhood friend said, wiping his split lip.

You Shi: "..."

You Shi decided to let himself go. Right in front of him, he did everything he should and shouldn't do, hoping to show him that this was who he was now, nothing like the well-behaved You Shi from before, and that he should stop bothering him.

But instead of leaving him alone, his childhood friend grabbed the hem of his shirt as he climbed over a wall and gazed up at him. "Could you say yes and take part in that competition?"

You Shi: "?"

After Jiang Ying caught him time and time again, he barged into the birthday party of one of You Shi's rowdy friends. Beneath the dim, hazy lights, he spotted You Shi sitting in the innermost booth.

You Shi sat quietly, looking a little spaced out. Every so often, he smiled and nodded.

Jiang Ying crossed the entire room and, amid everyone's astonished looks, pushed down the hand holding You Shi's glass and grabbed his wrist.

The tip of a cigarette glowed and faded in the dim booth.

You Shi didn't pull away. He frowned and clicked his tongue. "That hurts."

"So you do feel pain," Jiang Ying said, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly. The pitiful look he'd worn while gazing up at You Shi was gone, replaced by a probing stare. "You fight so fiercely, I thought you couldn't feel pain."

-

"Stop meddling in my business." You Shi had a lollipop in his mouth and messy hair. He spoke to Jiang Ying impatiently.

"Got it." Jiang Ying reached over and ruffled his hair with a smile. "Call me big brother."

"Get lost. I'm not calling you that." You Shi turned his head away.

"Are you going to call me that or not?" Jiang Ying asked.

The mischievous teen turned away, ears red. After a long silence, his lips opened and closed before he finally called out softly, "Big brother..."

Peach Blossoms Never Saw White Robes

Legend has it that Xie Baiyi, the greatest hero under heaven, died in battle in Peach Blossom Valley. Afterward, the peach blossoms never withered, and for ten miles they bloomed a deep red, like blood.

People said Peach Blossom Valley bred demons, and that its people were bloodthirsty and wicked. No one knew the name of their leader, only that he called himself the Peach Blossom Immortal.

-

Xie Yao, the most carefree and least industrious Valley Master of Peach Blossom Valley, had snuck out for the hundredth time, only to be hunted down for the hundred and first time.

A sword's fierce aura bore down on him, and a flying sword flashed past his eyes.

He looked up. A tall, slender young man stood there, as radiant and composed as a bright moon in a clear sky.

Xie Yao exclaimed, "What skill, young hero!"

The young man glanced at him, drew his sword, and left.

"My name is Xie Taohua. Where are you going, young hero? Take me with you."

"I hate peach blossoms."

"Then what kind of flower do you like? I'll change my name."

The young hero sighed almost imperceptibly. After a long pause, he glanced at Xie Yao. "Follow me."

From then on, the young man rode in fine clothes on a spirited horse, with an idle, carefree emperor by his side.

-

The young man's name was Li Chang'an. He was the young master of Guiyun Manor and the disciple of Xie Baiyi, the greatest hero under heaven.

Li Chang'an told Xie Yao that no one in the world deserved to wear white except his master.

As he said this, he gripped the Qingyun Sword that Xie Baiyi had given him.

Five years, ten years... He swore to kill the Peach Blossom Immortal in this lifetime.

Master and disciple, younger gong. Xie Yao is the bottom, and Li Chang'an is the top.
