After Cheng Qiufen becomes the leader of a declining sect, he resolves to restore its former glory. With his foul-tempered, motherly wife and his hopelessly idiotic disciple, he sets out to make a name for himself! He has profound cultivation and a sharp mind. In less than two years, he has earned a formidable reputation, and his sect has risen to prominence.
Cheng Qiufen is quite pleased, even though his wife isn't really his wife, and his disciple isn't really his disciple.
The cultivation world's grand assembly, held once every fifteen years, is about to begin. Cheng Qiufen decides to bring his wife and disciple along to broaden their horizons. Winning first place would be even better.
After arriving in Luo'an City, Cheng Qiufen hears all kinds of gossip about tangled romances while drinking tea at an inn, and listens with great interest.
“Lin Siwu pursued Yun Wanhan, the Immortal Venerable who cultivates the Heartless Dao, for twelve years without success, and even kept him from ascending!”
Cheng Qiufen: Tsk, what a creep.
“Lin Siwu brought shame upon his sect. Even now, the Nanshan Sect doesn't dare face the Yunshu Sect, where Yun Wanhan resides.”
Cheng Qiufen: The world is going to the dogs, I tell you!
That is, until the cultivation assembly, when his furious junior brother storms over and demands, “Lin Siwu, if you're still alive, why haven't you returned to the sect? You're a coward and a scoundrel!”
Cheng Qiufen: ?
His gentle, jade-like senior brother looks troubled. “When will you return to the sect?”
Cheng Qiufen: ?
His stern and dignified master looks at him for a long moment. “You've lost weight.”
Cheng Qiufen: ?
The Heartless Dao Immortal Venerable whom Lin Siwu supposedly kept from ascending looks at him for a long moment, then says coldly, “Come back with me.”
Cheng Qiufen: Wait, what?
Theme: Love others and love yourself.
