Under Jiang Lu's ambiguous guidance, these cultivation masters struggled within the degenerating relationship of master and disciple, or godfather and goddaughter, unable to extricate themselves.
Whenever they couldn't suppress the scorching emotions within their hearts and sought out Jiang Lu, they were mercilessly rejected.
Just like a basin of ice-cold water poured from head to toe in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, not only did it leave them sinking into deep self-reproach after regaining their senses, but it also made them more desperate and unrestrained in their next moment of confusion.
Gradually, they began to lose their souls, with Jiang Lu planting a seed of desire within them.
When the seed took root and sprouted, they, being manipulated to the extreme, finally cast aside all worldly concerns and rationality.
Desire for Jiang Lu, yearning for the unattainable, it all burst forth when everything else was cast aside.
