“Disciple, even if you fight, what does it accomplish?”
“But Master, they called you a demoness! That is the root of everything! Saying that the blood flowing within you belongs to the demon clan!”
“Then is your Master a demoness in your heart?”
“No.”
“Then that’ll do. As for what others say, what can words do?”

“No Master, don’t leave me, you’re the only one I hold dear… ”
Her aura grew weaker. “Nie Li, I’ve said it before, I’ve already performed calculations on my fate with the Divine Fortune technique. You are the calamity of my destiny. My death are unrelated to them, promise me one thing. Don’t take vengeance against them. Let go of the hatred within you. Those who are lost will never be able to return. The more you are unresigned, the more you will lose. You must reach that ‘virtuous as water’ realm!”
“No…!” Nie Li painfully howled as he watched her slowly close her eyes and dissipate within his arms.
His master had always been the one paving the way for him in the Draconic Ruins Realm. But now, she’d quietly left the world and turned into an intangible breeze.
Nie Li fulfilled his Master’s last request and didn’t kill those people for vengeance. At the same time he had also protected the last of the fundamentals of the Divine Feathers Sect. However, her death had left a deep regret in his heart.
Even afterwards, Nie Li was never able to reach the ‘virtuous as water’ realm, never able to be like his master, distanced from worldly affairs.

In this life, Nie Li’s eyes were filled with tears upon seeing her again.
“Nie Li, what’s wrong with you?” Lu Piao looked at Nie Li dumbfoundedly. What’s going on with him? Why is he crying?
Nie Li shook his head. “It’s nothing.” Those memories were like a tidal wave, blurring his vision.
