Ji Xiao's divine power could cut though mountains and seas, and there was nothing in this world that lied beyond his knowledge. He was given the title, "The Number One Swordsman of Han Shan." Allies admired him, disciples worshiped him, enemies feared him. Had it not been for his incompetent cultivation partner, he would have lived a perfect life.
Meng Xueli was a mediocre cultivator, lacking in both power and wit; all he had was a beautiful face, but beauty wasn't rare in the cultivation world, and so he was considered both common and vulgar. Apparently, this sort of vulgar beauty was exactly Ji Xiao's type, which made others worried about his sense of aesthetics.
Then Ji Xiao died suddenly, and Meng Xueli became a young widower.
Misfortunes befell the sect, enemies were at their door, the cultivators were scattered with some wanting to take advantage of the situation for their own gain. but . . . but, could not!?
