The Days of Bewitching the Entire Sect to Ascend

Lin Ye died the day before he was about to secure a postgraduate recommendation.

Given a second life, he was reborn into the body of a disciple in a Heartless Dao sect.

There were four disciples in their sect, and one postgraduate recommendation (ascension) had already been secured. The cultivation method for earning one was extremely simple: cut off all romantic feelings and desires.

Lin Ye smiled faintly. That was easy. Wise men don't fall in love. He'd study all the way to a doctorate.

Lin Ye smiled faintly, joined the rat race, and then discovered

His junior brother was a young prince of the demon clan, born with an extraordinary bloodline and the ability to communicate with spirits. At his call, all the beasts would answer.

His second senior brother was a refined and charming scholar, born knowing everything. Even when he skipped class to climb trees, his cultivation could advance a thousand li in a day.

His eldest senior brother had a sword bone by birth and was already halfway to the Golden Core realm. His sword's frost could chill fourteen provinces, and no one could match him.

Lin Ye, who had studied overtime for ages and had only just reached Foundation Establishment: ...

**

Although three of their four disciples were geniuses, fortunately two of those three were hopeless romantics.

The young demon-clan junior brother was entangled with a human scholar, while the cold-hearted eldest senior brother was entangled with a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. Their love stars might be shining, but the sect's rules meant they had to cut off their relationships and return to the Great Dao

Lin Ye: Wait!

Did they really have to cultivate the Heartless Dao?!

Couldn't his senior and junior brothers just go enjoy their romances, while he alone suffered through studying for his recommendation?

Lin Ye resolved to become the romance bodyguard for his fellow disciples.

He kept watch when his junior brother met his lover in secret.

He opened the gates when his senior brother's lover came to the mountain.

When his senior and junior brothers planned to elope, he waved both hands and sent them off.

Every day, Lin Ye followed his second senior brother, who loved gossip, as they wandered past the romantic scenes playing out in the lives of their fellow disciples.

Their lovers had all originally come for his brothers' sword bones or immortal pills. When his brothers were heartbroken and came to Lin Ye for comfort, they found him so loyal, gentle, courteous, and warm that they wanted to marry him instead

Straight man Lin Ye: !! Absolutely not!

Lin Ye: !!! No way!

But just as Lin Ye was kicking away one red thread after another that had flown into the sect, inspiration struck him again.

Lin Ye: Wait.

Lin Ye: If they fall in love with me, but I don't fall in love with them, then won't I still be the only one who gets the postgraduate recommendation?

Lin Ye thought it over. Lin Ye worked it out. Lin Ye nodded. Lin Ye prepared to accept every red thread.

“Fine.”

But then his second senior brother, who had been enjoying the gossip all along, finally couldn't sit still. “No!”
