My Sworn Enemy Discovered I Am the Sect Master of the Joyful Union Sect

【Pure and fiery cultivation maniac female lead * White-cut-black manipulative male lead】

Shen Wenji, a proud daughter of an immortal sect, disguised herself as male to infiltrate the Heavenly Profound Sect's trials, determined to claim the position of chief disciple. However, she narrowly lost to Xie Yunqing, a top talent who had always outshone her, a man of deep cunning.

She gritted her teeth in secret resentment, but then unexpected circumstances arose. Her mother, who had always opposed her cultivating, suddenly sent word, asking her to inherit the position of sect master.

Shen Wenji was overjoyed: What's a mere chief disciple? Once I take charge of the sect, all secret manuals and magic treasures will be mine. I'll surely surpass that sworn enemy!

But as she pushed open the secret chamber door of the sect, something felt off. The bookshelves were lined with heavily covered manuals, glass cases held trembling luminous pearls, and most conspicuously, a gossamer-thin robe, delicate as a cicada's wing, hung alongside cold, gleaming profound iron chains...

Shen Wenji casually pulled out a manual, and what met her eyes was "Eighteen Forms of Spring Mountains." She slapped her hands over her eyes instantly, her hands, clutching the illustrated manual, trembling slightly.

The sect she was inheriting was, in fact, the Joyful Union Sect!

***

To revitalize the declining sect and clear its defiled name, Shen Wenji decided to seek out famous teachers and compile proper cultivation manuals! Following a clue to a pleasure house, she peered behind a beaded curtain and saw an incredibly familiar face.

Xie Yunqing lounged casually on a soft couch, a crimson ribbon draped to the floor, his white robes half-open, abdominal muscles faintly visible. She never expected the Heavenly Profound Sect's aloof chief disciple to be so dissolute in private.

"Junior Brother Shen... no, Miss Shen?" Xie Yunqing frowned slightly, the wine cup at his lips pausing. His gaze darkened as he pressed: "You disappeared without a word again. Which sect are you in now?"

Why did I get exposed at this moment? Heaven wants me dead.

With Xie Yunqing's help, the Joyful Union Sect flourished, even prompting the former sect master to send a message inquiring about its progress. Xie Yunqing lightly chuckled, holding the communication talisman: "Immortal Venerable, don't worry. Wenji is currently in the spiritual spring... reviewing old cultivation methods."

In the swirling mist, Shen Wenji leaned against the spiritual spring, her robes drenched.

Xie Yunqing slowly fiddled with the silver bell on her ankle, and in a soft voice, told the communication talisman: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her and make sure she doesn't overexert herself."

After the communication ended, Shen Wenji threatened fiercely: "Xie Yunqing... don't go too far!"

Xie Yunqing blinked innocently, smiling as he leaned in: "Sect Master, the heritage of the Joyful Union Sect cannot be abandoned. I am diligently helping you review the cultivation methods."

"You used to say my cultivation was superficial. Now, let me prove myself."
