I knelt in front of the black iron steps of Qingyun Gate. The whip wounds on my back were aroused by the morning dew, and I gasped in pain.
"Lin Qingzhu, for stealing the sect's secret treasure and having an affair with an evil cultivator, I am expelling him from the sect!" Senior Brother Chu Zhaoran threw down the order of expulsion. The black iron token clanged at my feet, and splashed blood seeped into the seams of the bluestone.
I held the unconscious girl in my arms tightly - the white fox I rescued from the mass grave three days ago was now changing back into a human form.
Her eyelashes trembled, and her words were thunderous: "The remnant sect of Mount Taichu is waiting for you."
The mountain wind swept the dead leaves through my hair. I looked at the back of the figure who was spurned by my classmates, and suddenly heard a "ding" in my mind.

"Girl," I wiped the blood from my face and smiled at her, "I'll take this broken sect."
Later, when Chu Zhaoran went up the mountain with his evil sword to kill, I was squatting on the threshold teaching the little beggar Ah Fu how to practice Taichu Jue.
He stared at the chaotic energy surging behind me, and his pupils shrank suddenly: "You... How could you?"
"How is it impossible?" I patted Ah Fu on the head, "I am -"
"Taichu Mountain, the new leader."
