[A groveling ex arc, told in third person]
That year, with apricot blossoms falling in a light rain, I secretly left the mountain and picked up a disciple on the cheap.
A disciple is a disciple. Raising him was no trouble. With his exceptional looks, status, and martial arts skills, he quickly made a name for himself and became the object of every woman in the sect's admiration.
Unfortunately, he was chaste and unmoved by any woman, spending every day poring over a martial arts manual.
I was very pleased.
By chance, I opened that martial arts manual and discovered that the supposed manual was nothing but a cover. Hidden beneath it was 101 Little Tricks for Winning Over Your Master.
"Don't buy books from street vendors next time," I scolded quietly.
But my disciple was delighted. His eyes glistened with barely contained hope and nervousness. "Master is only scolding me for buying books from street vendors. Does that mean other kinds of books are allowed...?"
I smiled.
I was delighted too.
In my previous life, a scumbag played me like a fool, then cast me aside like trash.
I devoted my whole life to cultivation so I could outlive him.
And now, his reincarnation stood before me, telling me, word by word, of his enduring love for me.
