[Draft completed; expected to officially launch at the end of the year]
Xu Qingzhi receives one piece of good news and one piece of bad news. The good news is that his disciple has returned. The bad news is that his enemy has escaped. First, he has to figure out whether the person who showed up at his door is his disciple or his enemy.
Without knowing the other person's identity, surrendering to a moment of warmth could easily leave him with a knife in his back. Xu Qingzhi is suspicious and constantly tests him, keeping his guard up. Jing Jun drops hints obliquely, harboring grievances. The master and disciple each have their secrets, tangled up in an irreparable mess. This broken bond seems impossible to mend.
Jing Jun: The blade in my hand will never be pointed at you.
Xu Qingzhi: I don't believe you.
Xu Qingzhi: You are the most important person to me, my disciple.
Jing Jun: I wouldn't dare hope for that.
When the misunderstanding is finally cleared up, Xu Qingzhi remembers how he abandoned his dying disciple and walked away all those years ago, and how he's been suspicious of him at every turn ever since. There's really no way for him to explain himself.
Xu Qingzhi: ...I know you must hate me.
Jing Jun: Master, is there someone you love?
Xu Qingzhi: No.
Jing Jun: But I do.
Xu Qingzhi: ?
Just as their deep bond as master and disciple seems to have settled everything, Xu Qingzhi suddenly remembers something.
Xu Qingzhi: Wait, am I forgetting something? What happened to my enemy?
The story is told from the bottom's perspective. A seemingly gentle master who is secretly a wolf in sheep's clothing, and a rebellious, puppy-like disciple.
