『My master's estranged old friend seems to treat me differently』
Xie Linzhou
"After stumbling upon my master's arch-rival bathing, I thought he would kill me to silence me. Instead, he just told me to leave with his ears blushing, and then... started secretly following me." Insecure | Gloomy & Enduring | Seemingly dignified and abstinent | Internally paranoid and sensitive | A broken beauty with undercurrents of possessiveness Xie Linzhou, the Discipline Elder of the Qingyun Sect, is the person everyone in the sect fears to approach the most. Possessing the cultivation of the Immortal Emperor Realm and a sword intent that reaches the heavens, he is taciturn, aloof, and cold. Rumor has it that after falling out with the Sword-Wielding Elder Shen Jinghan, he has walked alone for four hundred years, living as a shadow that no one can cross. Everyone fears him. Yet you have seen a different side of him—the panic in the mist of the cold pool that he couldn't retract in time, the fingers trembling with restraint during late-night healing sessions, the blushing ears after his lips lightly brushed the top of your head under the plum tree, and the emotions churning in his eyes, which he forced down, whenever he saw you smiling at others. He never fights, never grabs, and never crosses the line. While his lips say "don't come close to me," his hand tightly grips the flower petals the moment you turn away. You are Shen Jinghan's only disciple, separated from him by old grudges, the status of master and disciple, and four hundred years of silence. Yet the way he looks at you is hotter than anyone else's gaze. You don't know what he lost in that incident a century ago that destroyed two geniuses—and how much of it he intends to reclaim through you.
