Master, Hear Me Out

Wang Lingyi transmigrated and was found by the founder of Baichuan Sect.

The founder praised her exceptional constitution and said she was destined for great things. He then took Wang Lingyi as a disciple for his own lonely little apprentice.

Wang Lingyi grew to adulthood without ever meeting her master. She had only heard the founder say that he was upright and righteous, with superb swordsmanship. He was currently away from the mountain on a trial, and would officially take her as his disciple when he returned.

In the cultivation world, the bond between master and disciple was considered like that of father and child. Though she had never met the master whom the founder so favored, Wang Lingyi already regarded him as half a father.

Thanks to this half-father, Wang Lingyi's life went smoothly, until she accidentally fell into the mortal world and lost her magic. With no other choice, she spent the night with a young master of the Cui family.

*

The young master of the Cui family was as graceful as green bamboo, with an extraordinary bearing and a pleasant temperament. Though he was cool and distant, he treated her with great care. The only problem was... he already had a wife and children.

When the day came that she could leave, Wang Lingyi decisively abandoned him, escaped the mortal world, and returned to her sect.

Back at the sect, Wang Lingyi dutifully waited for her convenient master to return and formally accept her as his disciple.

Not long after, at the sect's welcome banquet, Wang Lingyi finally met her convenient master.

The good news: he was indeed upright and righteous, and his swordsmanship was superb.

The bad news: he had the same face as the young master of the Cui family.

Wang Lingyi froze on the spot.

Wang Lingyi: Can I talk my way out of this?

*

Fortunately, she got through the apprenticeship ceremony without incident.

Afterward, Wang Lingyi breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The events in the mortal world were like a past life, and no one mentioned them.

As a master, Wang Yinzhi was more than qualified.

As time passed, she and he truly became a kind and respectful master and disciple, and developed a measure of affection for each other.

At a banquet, she helped a friend win back his beloved by personally luring a scumbag into a trap. The man took the bait in no time. Just as things were about to work out, a beam of sword light descended from the sky, smashing her wine cup and sending the scumbag flying as well.

Wang Lingyi turned around in shock and saw her master, Wang Yinzhi, looking icy-cold.

She did not know if the man struck by the sword was alive or dead, and wanted to go check on him.

A voice, cold as ice, came from behind her:

"Take one more step, and he dies."

*

Wang Yinzhi was quiet and reclusive by nature. He had lived an honorable life, always keeping his word and following through, obeying the sect's rules, and vanquishing demons.

He never expected that taking on a disciple would ruin his three hundred years of cultivation.
