My Junior Fellow Disciple Was Taken Over Again

[Saintly Senior Brother with the Protagonist's Halo X Obsessive Junior Brother on the Brink of Demonic Corruption]

Meng Yunqiu's life has been defined by abandonment and betrayal.

As a child, after setting fire to the mountain village that planned to sacrifice him to an evil spirit, he stood in the center of the sacrificial formation and thought that perhaps giving his soul to the Demon God would not be so bad.

Then a young man came flying on his sword, crossing the sea of flames and reaching out to gather him in his arms.

The wind was clear and the clouds bright. A cool hand caressed his cheek. Mistaking the flush on his face, which came from excitement, for fear, the young man said, "Don't be afraid." Those words protected Meng Yunqiu for half his life.

Meng Yunqiu thought that since this man was so meddlesome, he would have to take responsibility for him for the rest of his life.

Fu Liaozhai is the senior-most disciple of the Wanxiang Sect on Fengyun Mountain.

He is as elegant as jade and as steadfast as a pine, always willing to help others and get along with everyone.

He has done countless good deeds in his life, but the most praiseworthy was rescuing Meng Yunqiu, a once-in-a-century sword cultivator prodigy, from a mountain fire and helping the Wanxiang Sect's sword cultivation reach new heights.

One day, his usually aloof and proud junior brother, Meng Yunqiu, who disliked associating with others, suddenly came to see him, biting his lip with a troubled expression.

His junior brother, usually as cool as a pine in a secluded valley, was suddenly acting coy, his eyes moist. Fu Liaozhai sensed something was amiss.

Sure enough, his junior brother said, "I seem to be showing signs of demonic corruption. I keep hearing a soul that isn't mine whispering in my mind."

Hearing this, Fu Liaozhai readily agreed and said solemnly, "Junior Brother, how can I help you? I will do everything I can."

Then he watched helplessly as the junior brother he had raised used the Spring Snow Sword he had given him to cut open his sash.

With their clothes gone and autumn's rich colors surrounding them, Fu Liaozhai, who had spent half his life championing the weak and had never been in love, was dumbstruck.

"Senior Brother," Meng Yunqiu said, his voice as cool as ever, "I want you to personally help me remove my inner demon."

Fu Liaozhai: "...Is this right?"

Was this really his dear junior brother, who had no interest in women or worldly affairs and met anyone who came to propose with harsh words and drawn blades?

But he had no time to think. From childhood to adulthood, Fu Liaozhai had never once said no to Meng Yunqiu, and this time was no different.

The spring snow melted, the icy silk tore, and the great fire that had shaken heaven and earth when they first met blazed up once more, consuming all reason and rules.

In the new year, Fu Liaozhai sent a report to his master, who was in seclusion at Penglai.

"All is well, don't worry. Junior Brother, well, Yunqiu says that his birth family and his husband's family are one, so there's no need for a return visit after the wedding. That means we won't be coming to see you."

The master stared at the report in a daze. How had his two most promising disciples, ranked first and second, ended up getting together just like that?

"Is this right?"
