The Young Lord Is Still a True Genius Today

Tianxia Gorge Sect never accepts mediocrities.

The sect's core disciples are all heaven's favored talents.

Except me.

Ling Xichuan: H-help... help me.

Pretending to be a genius is way too hard!

Jinsu City is famed for its Gu, and cultivators seek immortality by cultivating the Gu Way.

The Gu raised by the noble families come in all shapes and sizes.

For example, the Ling clan specializes in bee Gu.

But the once-powerful Ling family has fallen into decline.

Its members are even coveted by all sides because they carry bee Gu, and everyone wants a piece of them.

The Ling clan is on the brink of ruin.

Thankfully, just as the clan was about to be wiped out, its young lord awakened his talent and became an unparalleled genius. He was even recommended to Tianxia Gorge Sect, turning the Ling family's fortunes around in one fell swoop!

The Ling clan: Our young lord is incredible!

Ling Xichuan: ...

Do you know my genius buff has already expired?! My only weapon now is a dim-witted little bee that only knows how to collect nectar! If my secret gets out, our whole family is still doomed!

But seeing the adoring looks in his clansmen's eyes, Ling Xichuan took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped into Tianxia Gorge Sect. Time to hit the books! I refuse to believe I can't outwork that bunch of real geniuses!
