My Twisted Apprentice Has His Eye on Me

Chi Yujun transmigrated into a book, becoming the doomed cannon-fodder sect leader in the cultivation world.

His only disciple is destined to become a great villain. While seeking revenge for him, the disciple will fall head over heels for the protagonist, and ultimately meet the same tragic end as his master.

In a cultivation world where strength reigns supreme, why bother with romance or playing the villain?

Nobody wants a love-struck fool, not even dogs.

That energy would be better spent cultivating.

Wouldn't it be great to grind through 996 and 007 schedules?

If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll end up a villain.

One person grinding is just grinding. An entire sect grinding is normal.

As they ground away, the story began. Then Chi Yujun went poof, leaving behind a disciple he'd ground into a twisted personality.

A hundred years later, Chi Yujun comes back to life and hears that his disciple is still alive. Convinced the danger has passed, he decides to find somewhere to laze around.

But the moment he enters the cultivation world, he sees everyone shouting about 996 and 007, grinding themselves almost insane.

When he closes his eyes, he hears slogans like, "If we don't start grinding, the demon race will overtake us!"

"One person grinding is just grinding. The entire cultivation world grinding is normal!"

Chi Yujun, who just wants to find somewhere to laze around: "?"

His disciple, who has ground his way to uniting the cultivation world and is now preparing to invade the demon realm, finds Chi Yujun and reaches out to him with a twisted smile. "Master, cultivation is what matters."

"Strength reigns supreme in the cultivation world. I have several ways to raise your cultivation quickly: dual cultivation, the union of yin and yang. If you don't like such gentle methods, I've also prepared forced cultivation, a dark room, and all sorts of other shortcuts."

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Chi Yujun, who returned with no cultivation at all: Is this right???

Bai Luoci loves his master.

He has kept his secret crush buried deep in his heart, never daring to let it show.

That's because his master believes that love between men will hinder one's cultivation. His master seems to... hate men who love men.

He suppresses those dark feelings and tries to be a diligent, earnest, harmless disciple.

Who could have guessed that his master would suddenly go poof!

His master is gone, and he goes mad!

It's just cultivation? Then everyone will cultivate.

It's just grinding? Then everyone will grind!

His master just wants him to stay alive? Then he'll live.

As he kept grinding, he became the strongest in the cultivation world.

Then he sensed a familiar presence. After countless disappointments, he once again approached a teahouse near the mortal realm, carrying a faint hope. There he saw a figure whose appearance had changed, but who was still unmistakably familiar.

Before he could walk over, trembling with excitement and pretending to be harmless, he heard his master sigh and say, "The cultivation world is too exhausting. I should leave."

Leave? Where to? His master doesn't want him anymore?

His harmless expression shattered. Bai Luoci's eyes darkened, a storm brewing within them.

Why keep pretending? He was done pretending!!!
