[The blurb may still change. This isn't the final version. Let me think over the setting some more.]
Whenever Lin Baoqi was made to kneel in punishment before the Jingling Hall, his eldest senior brother would say, "You were naughty again."
Then he would lay a cushion down for him and take the punishment with him.
The fifteen years Lin Baoqi spent at the Lin Sect as a boy were the happiest and most carefree of his life. He naively thought time would stop right there.
Until the sect-wide massacre. His eldest senior brother hid him in a cabinet, and through a crack, Lin Baoqi watched the bloodbath that swept through his sect.
If time could turn back, Lin Baoqi swore that he would rather break his immortal bones and fall into the demonic path to protect the sect.
But when demonic energy leaked from him, the disappointment in his eldest senior brother's eyes pierced his heart like a sharp sword.
The man who had always treasured him, who in his past life had stood guard before the cabinet until his dying breath, now raised his sword and cut their robes apart.
"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
Watching his eldest senior brother and fellow disciples turn and leave, Lin Baoqi lowered his head.
If this life could bring the Lin Sect a hundred years of peace, then what did it matter if they cut ties and severed their bond?
