Chen Xuanqin was the personal disciple of the head of Huamiao Sect: an upright and proper cultivator, solemn and aloof, widely read and highly intelligent, with a bright future ahead.
So far, his life had held only two great trials.
The first was being separated from his parents at the age of eight. The second was now: his master, who had raised him, had perished alongside a great demon, leaving behind only resentful spirits that needed to be purified.
On their way to purify the spirits, he and his fellow disciples encountered several demonic cultivators. Among them was a... demoness.
The demoness said the demonic cultivators had tricked her. She had never wanted to cultivate the demonic path and begged the Daoist to forgive her.
Chen Xuanqin did not believe her at first.
His master had told him that demonic cultivators were the best at lying.
This demoness was both beautiful and clever, surely the most deceitful kind of demonic cultivator.
But then Chen Xuanqin looked at Ling Yao, who was plucking a melody on her zither and smiling sweetly at him.
He thought that since she did not want to cultivate the demonic path, she must be worlds apart from the great demon who had killed his master. Surely... she could not really be called a demonic cultivator, could she?
She wasn't... lying to him, was she?
