My Master Once Practiced the Way of Dual Cultivation

Jing Xiao was extraordinarily gifted. As a child, she became a disciple of Qingzhou Jun, one of the Daoist sect's Three Venerables. In cultivation, status, looks, and temperament, no one of her generation could compare. She was widely recognized as a Daoist prodigy.

Life in the Daoist sect was good, and Jing Xiao was quite content. Sometimes, though, the senior cultivators and elders would look at her with concern, thinking she was too lackadaisical and prone to unorthodox methods. They would whisper strange things behind her back, like "like master, like disciple" and "her master..."

Jing Xiao didn't think anything was wrong. After all, her master, Qingzhou Jun, had always admired her and never once criticized her.

Then the demons and monsters of the Western Continent rose in revolt, and the Daoist disciples were ordered down the mountain.

The night before their departure, Qingzhou Jun told her, "Demons and monsters are treacherous, so we can't let our guard down. Once the Daoist group enters the Western Continent, they'll be sitting ducks. I suggest you leave the group as soon as you arrive and operate in secret."

Jing Xiao nodded and accepted the order.

Qingzhou Jun considered for a moment. "It would be best to pretend to be from the Demonic Sect. Most of them act alone, so it's harder for anyone to spot a flaw."

Jing Xiao: "Then I'll..."

"Then pretend to be a disciple of the Hehuan Sect."

Jing Xiao: "Huh?"

Qingzhou Jun said gravely, "That's the easiest. I have experience."

Jing Xiao: "Huh?"

Jing Xiao stammered, "I once heard that there was an elder in our sect who used to be a disciple of the Demonic Sect's Hehuan Sect, then later joined the Daoist sect..."

"That was me." Qingzhou Jun coughed lightly. "Actually, I wasn't a disciple. I was the sect master of the Hehuan Sect."

Jing Xiao: "What?!"

.

Among the younger generation of cultivators, Fairy Jing Xiao was widely recognized as their leader.

Bright and exceptionally gifted from childhood, she became a disciple of Qingzhou Jun, one of the Daoist sect's Three Venerables. In cultivation, status, looks, and temperament, no one of her generation could rival her.

Even the most unsmiling senior cultivators and elders would smile approvingly whenever Jing Xiao came up.

The only thing the elders found fault with was Jing Xiao's occasional unorthodox methods, which hardly befitted the righteous Daoist sect.

But when they thought of Qingzhou Jun's easygoing, unrestrained ways, they decided that master and disciple truly were cut from the same cloth.

Jing Xiao's master, Qingzhou Jun, had once been the sect master of the Demonic Sect's Hehuan Sect.
