Shen Minghuai had a unique fate. After he died, he made a contract with the System and entered small worlds to play key roles and keep their stories stable.
Good news: He is the chosen one's teacher. When the chosen one achieves greatness, Shen Minghuai will be the most exalted person around, respected and loved by everyone.
Bad news: Before crossing over, he'd just fallen out with the chosen one and expelled him from the sect. When the chosen one comes to power, Shen Minghuai will be the first to suffer revenge, and his life will be utterly miserable.
Shen Minghuai: "System?"
System: "...It was an accident. A real accident."
#Strike first and kill the chosen one before he gains power#
#This is kind of sad. Never mind, maybe I should save him#

The disgraced Crown Prince Xiao Lin raised an army, fought his way back to the imperial capital, and ascended the throne. The whole court was watching Shen Minghuai, waiting for him to become a laughingstock.
Back when Shen Minghuai was Crown Prince Xiao Lin's tutor, if only he had fulfilled his duty as a teacher and put more effort into guiding him, his status now would be beyond compare.
Unfortunately, when Xiao Lin was deposed, the two most devastating blows came from this very "mentor."
Now the deposed Crown Prince had returned through a river of blood and donned the imperial robes. Shen Minghuai was surely going to be ground to dust.
In the crowd, Shen Minghuai listened to one taunt after another and shrank his neck as if timid, nodding along with all seriousness. "Yes, yes."
Before he could finish speaking, the new emperor walked slowly over to him.
Under the astonished gaze of the entire court, the new emperor bowed respectfully. "Teacher."
Shen Minghuai smiled brightly.
#The student I raised is, naturally, the most respectful toward his teacher#

"My teacher has been as kind to me as a mountain. Without him, I would not be where I am today."
"I've bled and suffered, and nearly died in secret realms, but I don't think it was hard. I want to protect my teacher too."
"No matter how high I rise, you will always be my teacher, someone I will respect for the rest of my life."
"If I become emperor, you will be the Imperial Preceptor."
