Xie Huai is a powerful cultivator. One day, over a hundred master-and-disciple romances appear in his Qiankun Pouch, all featuring masters being taken by their various disciples.
A lifelong single man who has spent centuries doing nothing but practicing swordsmanship has never seen anything like it. He is stunned on the spot: So this kind of wonderful thing really exists!
So, for the first time, he starts taking on disciples, just waiting for one of them to be bold enough to defy convention and take him by force.
Then his eldest disciple, beautiful and delicate yet bold enough to defy convention, goes and takes her martial uncle instead.
Xie Huai is left speechless, so he takes on another disciple
His second disciple is exceptionally talented and peerlessly handsome, but has eyes only for the sword. On the day he forms his Nascent Soul, he even goes so far as to make his sword his Dao companion.
After much soul-searching, Xie Huai decides to raise a disciple from childhood.
His youngest disciple is strikingly handsome, aloof, and otherworldly, and sure enough, bold enough to defy convention and take him by force. Xie Huai is very pleased.
Until one day, he sees what he looked like as a child in his youngest disciple's tribulation of the heart demon. Only then does he suddenly remember that his long-unseen master seemed to have had the same aloof, otherworldly air...

Xuanming raised a disciple. The boy is a little slow, can't speak to people, and spends all day carrying a sword.
Xuanming teaches him magic, swordsmanship, how to defeat enemies and drive out demons, and how to conduct himself in the world.
Everyone says Xuanming is a good master, but no one knows how much unspeakable desire lies beneath all those days and nights they spent together.
Older master and younger disciple, main character is the recipient.
The blurb is just for fun. With disciples other than the love interest, this is a raising-children story, more or less.
