As for Hua Yinglin, he was arrogant and domineering, cruel in his methods, and a traitor to his master. Well, that's how the world saw him.
Hua Yinglin figured that the most outrageous thing he'd ever done was form a cultivation bond with his own master. It didn't hurt anyone else, did it?
And yet he still died.
The masses stormed his lair under the banner of vanquishing evil. How did it end? His spiritual body was destroyed, and his soul scattered.
Of course, he didn't actually die, but he was still furious.
When he was reborn, he learned that he was merely a stepping stone prepared by the Heavenly Dao for its beloved son, a source of experience points for the protagonist on his way to ascension. In other words, the final boss villain.
Hua Yinglin: Oh, so I'm the big bad.
His beloved master was even the protagonist's free source of experience, the unattainable "white moonlight" who served as the old mentor in his mind.
Did he think this would make him afraid of the protagonist? Of course not!
A villain should act like a villain!
After being reborn, Hua Yinglin sharpened his blades and set his sights on the protagonist. First he'd beat up the young ones, then the old ones.

Feng Wujue was a peerless beauty, aloof and pure as ice and snow.
Brilliant and exceptionally gifted, he was revered by countless people. He was only one step away from ascending, yet had spent a century in seclusion.
Upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, Feng Wujue knew he was destined to face a trial. If he overcame it, he would ascend on the spot. If he failed, he would die and his cultivation would vanish.
After waiting a hundred years, just as his trial arrived, he saw an eerily beautiful youth smiling at him.
The boy was naive, enthusiastic, and always eager to help, but knew nothing of the ways of the world. He had earned the deep hatred of many.
"Immortal, Immortal, you're so handsome! Take me as your disciple. They want to bully me because I'm unaffiliated."
Feng Wujue's heart stirred, and he knew his destined trial would be impossible to overcome in this life.

After being reborn, Hua Yinglin joined his master's sect ten years earlier. His master seemed obedient and sensible, but was just as helpful as ever, and still hadn't changed his nature.
So while Feng Wujue was cultivating with Hua Yinglin in the sect, a junior disciple came to complain, dragging along the protagonist, whose face was bruised and whose cultivation had regressed. Hua Yinglin had injured a fellow disciple in the sect's secret realm.
Feng Wujue asked with his eyes: What happened?
Hua Yinglin declared righteously: This is slander.
Later, Feng Wujue took Hua Yinglin out to gain experience. The protagonist's future partner arrived with a dead divine beast egg, demanding that Feng Wujue deliver justice: Hua Yinglin had maliciously killed his divine beast egg.
Feng Wujue asked again: What happened?
Hua Yinglin denied it outright: This is a false accusation.
Feng Wujue said nothing and simply kept taking his side.
