The Blind Master Has It Rough

1. Shen Shaochen was poisoned and lost his memory. His eyes and spiritual sense sank into darkness. Before he could even figure out what was going on, his senior brother, the sect leader, sent him to Seven Star Peak to recuperate.

The sect leader looked at him, bewildered, with affection and said, "Shaochen, I've arranged everything. Your disciples will take good care of you."

He also said they were exceptionally talented and that Shen Shaochen wouldn't need to worry about their cultivation.

But after a few days, Shen Shaochen realized that being a good master was no easy task.

His eldest disciple was jilted because Shen Shaochen had fallen from grace, and spent every day declaring, "If Heaven betrays me, I'll destroy Heaven!"

His second disciple practiced his sword a thousand times each day, but whenever he went out, countless people fell in love with him and would die for him. Harassed beyond endurance, he entered the Path of Unfeeling on the spot.

Every morning, the first thing Shen Shaochen did was sigh that being a master was truly too difficult.

Fortunately, his well-behaved little disciple stayed by his side when he couldn't see. Though a little clumsy, the boy always made sure everything was taken care of.

Even when the poison flared painfully on nights of the full moon, his little disciple would sit silently beside him, separated by a screen.

It was also a relief that his first two disciples actually listened to the little one.

Shen Shaochen: Good. I've finally found an easy way to manage my disciples.

But as his little disciple grew kinder and kinder to him, Shen Shaochen began to feel that something was wrong. During one attack, when he could no longer suppress the poison and his little disciple kept coming closer out of concern, Shen Shaochen, bound by the rules governing master and disciple, shoved him to the ground.

The cave dwelling fell eerily silent. The little disciple gave a cold snort, covered Shen Shaochen's mouth, and leaned over him.

The next morning, Shen Shaochen awoke with the poison cured. The first thing he remembered was that he had never taken a little disciple. The second was that he grabbed his sword and set out to kill the great demon.

2. Yan Du had loved someone since he was young. At first, he was an unwanted son whose family had stripped him of his spiritual root, while Shen Shaochen was a heaven-blessed prodigy. The two had secretly shared a brief romance, but after leaving without a word, Shen Shaochen forgot him completely.

Later, Yan Du climbed over mountains of corpses and seas of blood to become the Demon Lord, worshipped by evil forces, while Shen Shaochen became the Immortal Lord Shaochen, leader of the righteous path.

When they met again, they faced each other with weapons drawn. Shen Shaochen stood in the heavens like a bright moon, and Yan Du could no longer suppress the forbidden desire he had buried in his heart.

He thought: Even if you are the moon in the sky, I will embrace you, even if it means my soul is annihilated.

Theme: Do not fear hardship. Press forward bravely.
