The Second Male Lead Bolts on the Spot

Chu Xinghui, the most talented young cultivator in the region, was on his way to the cultivation world when a bolt of heavenly lightning struck him on the head. He suddenly realized he was the lovesick second male lead in a cultivation-world pampered-protagonist novel. According to the plot, after he went to Lingxiang Sect to apply as a disciple, people would recognize him as the sect leader’s eldest son, who had gone missing years ago. But the sect leader already had new children, so everyone would ignore and despise him. Only the protagonist, the one being pursued, would give him a piece of candy. He would then resolutely become the protagonist’s lovesick admirer, and eventually die taking a blade for him. Only after his death would he finally earn forgiveness from all his “family” and the honor of being buried in the ancestral graveyard. Chu Xinghui was stunned by this outrageous plot. He stood there thinking for a moment, tore his application to become a disciple of Lingxiang Sect in half, then turned around and ran off with his belongings. Terrifying. Whoever wanted to follow this ridiculous plot could do it. He preferred to focus on cultivating properly and ascending as soon as possible. He weighed the sword in his hand and decided to become a wandering rogue cultivator for the time being. But barely two days into his new life, he was forcibly picked up along the road by an ordinary man with no spiritual power, who was so weak he couldn’t even take care of himself. * Xie Liufeng, the greatest sword cultivator of his era, was known for constantly drifting from place to place. One day, he went out for his usual stroll and found an injured youth along the way. The boy was both beautiful and talented. His eyes watched Xie Liufeng with wary resistance, as if he wanted to go home with him. Xie Liufeng thought the little fellow suited his tastes, so he decided to train him for a while and see if he could inherit his legacy. Day One What a clever disciple. I’ll find an excuse to give him some cultivation techniques. Day Two What a cute disciple. I’ll find an excuse to give him some treasures. Day n Disciple... What disciple? Thank you, everyone. We’re together now. Sunny old-timer pursuer x intuitive pursued Older man/younger man A straightforward guy is the perfect cure for an old-timer who talks nothing but nonsense () 1. Old Xie’s fragile persona is made of paper. It exists only in his words and is just a bit of fun between the couple. 2. At first, the pursuer picked up the pursued to raise him as a disciple, but for some delightful reasons, they never formally became master and disciple. 3. The pursued falls first, but both of them are head over heels. 4. I’ll add more if I think of anything. Theme: Perseverance through hardship is what brings growth
