Huairen

Ever since his youth, Qi Zhaoxi had been a wanderer of the Jianghu, as well as a secret member of a demonic sect. Many years had passed, and given his skills, he would be completely capable of self-preservation as long as he tried. Yet, even before reaching 30 years of age, he wanted nothing other than to retire and go into seclusion.

But that changed the very day he met Jiang Li.

“Within the Jianghu, battles ensue between sects, while the blades of good and evil collide. No places exist for humans to drink in peace, while places abound for bones to be laid to rest in peace. Fame is born from nothing but aggression and ambition, while grudges borne in gratitude and love are merely born from rivers of selfish desire. I’d seen enough scenery to know that all mountains and rivers look the same. I’d thought about leaving behind this mortal realm and putting an end to it all.

That was because I hadn’t met you yet.”

Thus began the story of Qi Zhaoxi, a young but skilled Jianghu master who wants nothing but to retire, and Jiang Li, a young lone wolf who eventually became his ‘disciple’.

In short: Before embracing a blade, prepare yourself for injury.
