1. If a waste is reborn, can they become new again? Pei Yunshu still thinks of himself as worthless—he’s just smarter now, no longer yearning for what he can never have. He watches calmly as his master picks up the junior disciple who will later be doted on by the entire sect. He waits calmly for everyone to lose their minds over the new junior brother. He no longer wants to compete with his junior brother, nor does he crave being the most beloved in the sect again. If his master and senior brothers treat him well, he’ll remember to repay each favor—so he won’t end up like in his past life, branded an ungrateful wretch with every word they hurl at him. 2. He used to reek of worldly attachments. But now, after being reborn, even a trace of that is almost gone. Worried about Pei Yunshu, his senior brothers and the new junior brother finally drag him down the mountain for a drink. After two bowls of strong liquor, Pei Yunshu’s eyes are slightly red, his cheeks flushed, and a single round, glistening tear slips silently into the wine bowl. A breathtaking sight of silent weeping. 3. From that day on, the entire sect starts acting strange.
