My Shizun Has a Secret

[Be sure to read the content advisory after the blurb!!!] Zhuohuang is a disciple of Immortal Venerable Qingwu of the Wuwang Sect. She cultivates the Heartless Way alongside her master, Qingwu. The master and disciple have shared life and death, slain demons, protected the people, and kept each other company for hundreds of years. But lately, Zhuohuang has felt that something is wrong with her. First, after she and her master went to the Hehuan Sect to deal with evil cultivators, her undergarments disappeared. Second, every time she went out adventuring with her master, she felt that she'd lost something important. And last, the hardest thing to admit: lately, she kept dreaming that something was going on between her and her master. Her heart belongs to the Heartless Way. That shouldn't happen. Afraid her Dao heart had been damaged, Zhuohuang could only ask her master indirectly. Her usually aloof master held a book scroll and, as detached and distant as ever, told her it was only a normal case of the mind wandering. She needn't worry about it. She really didn't give it another thought. But then one day, she suddenly realized she was pregnant, and understood that something was seriously wrong! Zhuohuang exploded on the spot and dragged her master around the world in search of the "scoundrel." But she couldn't understand why her master, who had always cared so much for her, wasn't at all angry to learn she'd been taken advantage of. Immortal Venerable Qingwu of the Wuwang Sect has a secret. On the night he and his disciple went to the Hehuan Sect to suppress the evil cultivators, both of them fell under the evil cultivators' charm spell. He ended up becoming husband and wife with the disciple who had been by his side for hundreds of years. Unwilling to let his disciple lose all her cultivation, he erased her memories of that night before she woke. The trouble was that his Dao heart had fallen apart. To shoulder his responsibilities and keep his cultivation from dissipating, he had no choice but to secretly switch to the Hehuan Way. Even worse, the moment his Heartless Dao heart shattered, their hundreds of years of sharing life and death turned into a surging tide of deep affection. It directly forged in him the rarest and most powerful Unwavering Dao heart of the Hehuan Way, binding his heart and body entirely to his disciple alone. Well... he'd completely lost face. To stabilize his cultivation, he could only keep taking his disciple on adventures, then shamelessly flirt with her as if by accident, doing everything he could to pursue her and every sort of thing a cultivator of the Hehuan Way could do... Then, before her Dao heart wavered, he would reluctantly erase her memories. He knew he was in the wrong. Once he had laid down his responsibilities, he would destroy his own qi sea, erase all her memories of him, and return to being an ordinary mortal, leaving his life and death to fate. But when Zhuohuang dragged him around the world in search of the scoundrel, Qingwu was utterly stunned... #A man whose passion went bone-deep after the old flame finally caught fire# [Content advisory: 1. The male lead sincerely pursues her every time! He never uses any means that go against the female lead's wishes! 2. Each time, he erases the female lead's memories only after she has fallen for him. He never uses any means beforehand. Don't read this carelessly, and don't mistake it for manipulating the female lead's thoughts or anything like that. The two are fundamentally different! I've made this very clear, so I'll delete comments that say otherwise.] Blurb written on 23.1.21 Theme: Sincerity is priceless.
