I Killed My Master to Prove the Dao, Then Faced the Crematorium

One day, Elder Lin Xian of Xiyao Sect dreamed she had taken in a disciple of exceptional talent. She raised him like a cabbage, loosening the soil, watering and fertilizing it, and picking off the pests until it grew plump and tender. But somehow, something went wrong, and the cabbage she had raised with her own hands killed her.

Lin Xian: “?”

When she woke, the sect leader brought a scrawny young man before her by the hand. “Xiao Ba, look. Your senior brother found you a disciple.”

Lin Xian stared at the familiar face, so much like the little cabbage from her dream, and fell into deep thought. In the end, she reached one conclusion: I’m doomed!

Lin Xian had no idea how to raise a little cabbage, let alone a little ungrateful wolf, but somehow this little wolf had ended up under her name as her disciple.

At first, Lin Xian tried to guide him toward becoming a proper gentleman. It barely worked. Every day, the little wolf still called her Master with a look that said he wanted to destroy his master and ancestors.

Lin Xian thought, If the first one turns out rotten, I’ll just start another. So she took in a second, a third… all the way to a ninth disciple.

After Immortal Lord Pei Lizhi of Xihe ascended, Lin Xian, the Lord of the Nine Divisions who died by his sword, became an object of universal scorn across the Three Realms.

Lin Xian had once been a highly respected elder of Xiyao Sect, as well as Pei Lizhi’s master.

Pei Lizhi was the first to slay his master and prove the Dao.

He became a legend of the mortal world, while Lin Xian was branded a monster, wicked to the core.

When Pei Lizhi opened his eyes, he found himself standing at the foot of Xiaoyao Sect’s mountain. Beside him, someone could barely contain their excitement. “I hear the Lord of the Nine Divisions is taking disciples again this year…”

Pei Lizhi: “…”

He had assumed this life would be the same as the last: Lin Xian, that honey-tongued hypocrite, would treat him well as before, winning his trust and respect, only to cast him into eternal ruin.

But he watched with his own eyes as Lin Xian took in one disciple after another, treating each of them with the same care she had once shown Pei Lizhi.
