[A System that doesn't know how to be a System, a disciple who can't act right, and a master watched by two successive Heavenly Daos. Hua Fanzhou: This is so hard.]
The big shot of the cultivation world, rumored to have surpassed the Heavenly Dao Realm yet inexplicably refusing to ascend, had actually died.
He hadn't died at the hands of his enemies. Instead, he had been brought down by his seemingly well-behaved and courteous little disciple.
Hua Fanzhou: ...
The Heavenly Dao said, "Big shot~ All you have to do is go back a hundred years and become Big Shot Jiang's System, helping him change the fate where you die a hundred years later. Then you can be reborn smoothly~"
Hua Fanzhou: "...System...what is that?"
Hua: "Also, Jiang Baishui is my lifelong enemy."
The Heavenly Dao: "There's no time to explain! I've forcibly bound you to Big Shot Jiang~"
Jiang Baishui had never actually done anything bad. Hua Fanzhou didn't dislike him, either. It was just that the Jiang fellow was a demon lord who loved to tease him, driving him absolutely crazy.
Hua Fanzhou was at a loss. Now he was living under someone else's roof... No, living in someone else's sea of consciousness, so he had no choice but to adjust his mindset.
Young Jiang Baishui asked with interest, "You say you're a System and can help me conquer the world?"
Hua Fanzhou: "Hello. I am very unhappy to be assisting you."
Jiang Baishui: "How about you start by giving me a spirit pill? Let's see what you can do."
Hua Fanzhou: He didn't have one... He didn't even have a physical body...
Hua Fanzhou silently shut down for a while, before a somewhat frustrated voice sounded in Jiang Baishui's mind. "Make it yourself... I'll teach you."
Jiang Baishui rummaged through every pocket he had, then spread his hands. "I'm broke."
Hua Fanzhou shut down again for a long while, then closed his eyes. "Go ask Sect Leader Hua for money."
In his previous life, the little brat Jiang Baishui had asked him for money as soon as they met. Had that all been his own doing...?
Jiang Baishui's lips curled slightly. "Sure."
As soon as he entered Huamu Sect, Hua Fanzhou regretted it, because Jiang Baishui was unbearably talkative.
"System, why does Sect Leader Hua look exactly like you?"
"System, you aren't Sect Leader Hua, are you?"
"System..."
"Shut up." Hua Fanzhou shut down again. Why could the little brat see what his soul looked like...?
Oh, right. He was in the guy's sea of consciousness.
Hua Fanzhou spent two years shutting down amid someone's endless chatter. At last, the time came when he had taken on a disciple in his previous life.
He rallied a little. "Hello. I'm assigning you a System quest. Take Chen Huan's place and become Sect Leader Hua's chief disciple."
"Oh? Not interested." Jiang Baishui jiggled one leg, looking thoroughly unserious. "There's no reward for going."
Hua Fanzhou fell silent for a long time, then said, "The reward is becoming the foremost disciple of the immortal path."
"Tsk." Jiang Baishui grinned. "System darling, do you think your master is an idiot?"
Hua Fanzhou was dejected again. His voice lowered. "I've taught you so much. You're already the chief disciple. Do you really want to call someone else senior brother for no reason?"
"So you really are Sect Leader Hua."
"Sect Leader Hua, you look so cute sulking in the corner."
After enduring eighty-one trials, Hua Fanzhou finally completed the quest and saw the Heavenly Dao once more.
But... why, when the white light faded, was the person he saw Jiang Baishui?!
The whole story's vibe: Jiang Taigong fishes, and Sect Leader Hua takes the bait.
[Note: Jiang Baishui is a transmigrator. He came specifically to save Hua Fanzhou. We transmigrators have finally risen! I raise the banner for all transmigrators!]
