Why Hasn't the Sect Leader Fallen Yet?

A cultivation fantasy ensemble story

The many affairs of Lin Lingyi, an outstanding graduate of the Heartless Dao.

As the sect leader of Tianyi Sect, the greatest sect under heaven, Lin Lingyi considers himself "disciplined and devoted to his duties," "dignified and composed," and "careful to protect his reputation." Who could have guessed that lately, scandalous rumors about him would be flying all over the cultivation world?

Gossipmonger No. 1: That day, my fellow disciples and I saw the sect leader come out of the young master of Zihuang Sect's room, his clothes disheveled and his expression thoroughly satisfied. How could we have made that up? If you ask me, she's obviously going to be our future sect leader's wife. No one else could possibly fit the bill.

Disciples watching the gossip unfold: Wow!

Gossipmonger No. 2: Nonsense! At the last sect tournament, that big shot from the demon clan was all over the sect leader, chasing after him relentlessly. They were exchanging glances and tangled up together. I could already imagine ten thousand words of love and hate between them. The sect leader's wife has to be him.

Disciples watching the gossip unfold: Huh!

Gossipmonger No. 3: No, no, you're both wrong. The Tianyi Sect leader and our Demon Lord are clearly deeply in love. I even saw him pin our Demon Lord against a tree and kiss him that day. They couldn't bear to part, and it was so intense, it was practically xxx! If you ask me, he's our Demon Lord's wife!

Disciples watching the gossip unfold: ??? If they can't make him their wife, are they going to just kidnap him instead?

In the end, none of them could convince the others. Not only did they get into a huge fight, they also put on a show of making all kinds of "subtle" attempts to test Lin Lingyi.

Lin Lingyi: …

What was he supposed to say? It wasn't me! I didn't do it! Leave me out of this?

Lin Lingyi has no interest in romance and is single-mindedly devoted to cultivating the Heartless Dao. All he wants is to uncover the truth behind his master's death, take revenge on the murderer, clear his own name, restore his sect, and make a name for himself across the land. Yet, for some reason, more and more weirdos keep showing up along the way. Basically, he suspects you of being the killer, while you think he's secretly in love with you but can't bring himself to say it?

All the grabbing and groping, and all the schemes to force him into love, would be bad enough. But they also keep pulling tricks like playing hard to get (No. 1), gloomy ghostly pretty boy (No. 2), and naturally jealous sourpuss (No. 3)… These are all the sorts of ploys that catch you completely off guard.
