Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and found himself the closed-door disciple of the Grand Elder of the Qingyang Sect.
The six elders nominated him as sect leader, dumping the responsibility on him.
But something seemed off. Why were all his disciples so rebellious?
“Master, this is bad! Eldest Brother has staged a rebellion.”
“Master, this is bad! Second Brother has joined forces with Eldest Brother to rebel.”
“Master, this is bad! Sixth Junior Brother stole the secret manual and ran off down the mountain.”
“Master, this is bad! Junior Sister has been lured away by the rival sect.”
Yet Jiang Yuan continued to sip his tea without a care.
“Let them go. The more rebellious they are, the stronger I become.”
Years later, the disciples who had left their master’s sect had all become powerful figures, second only to The Outcast and above countless others. Jiang Yuan, meanwhile, had become The Outcast.
