I'm the Despairing Master in a Xianxia Novel

They say being a master in a xianxia story is a high-risk occupation, but compared with being a martial uncle, it's still a little safer.

Mu Qingzhi is accomplished in both virtue and talent, exceptionally powerful, and the best disciple of his sect despite his young age. His fame has spread throughout the world.

And that's not all: his looks are top-tier, too.

He's practically got every buff there is.

But do you think he'll be the pitiful martial uncle who gets abused, or the disciple who commits an outrageous offense against his martial uncle?

No, neither!

He's the desperate master who went away on a mission, left his beloved little disciple in the care of his most trusted junior brother, and came back to find the two of them had gotten together.

*

Mu Qingzhi has three disciples in all.

His eldest disciple is young and accomplished. He sent him out to gain experience long ago, and he hasn't returned to cause trouble in years. There's no need to worry about him.

His second disciple is headed down the path of a villain and needs the most attention. He's the kind of person who'll turn evil and try to stab the whole world to death if you take your eyes off him for a moment.

So Mu Qingzhi specifically took on a little disciple who could help persuade his second disciple to mend his ways.

The little disciple is clever and diligent, a rare, well-behaved child.

Then the good little child ran off with his junior brother, the youngest disciple of his master's sect.

His disciples are all so talented, as if they were afraid their master might live too long.

Still, at least not everything is bad.

After Mu Qingzhi knelt before the incense burner for three days and three nights because of his little disciple, his second disciple suddenly began to reform and devote himself to good deeds.

After that, things grew much more peaceful under Mu Qingzhi's tutelage. No more chaos and mayhem.

Except...

One day, he secretly checked on his second disciple's cultivation progress, only to discover by accident that his mind was full of lewd thoughts. And the other main character in those thoughts was

him.

Well, now he was even more desperate.

P.S. I said being a martial uncle was a dangerous job, but nobody ever said being a master was safe.

Theme: Respect the elderly and cherish the young.
