    Summoning courage from who-knows-where, she uttered her audacious wish to the person before her: "I want to become a disciple of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, to be famous throughout the world! I want it so badly!" Speaking of her dream, Gu Ning's eyes shone with a light as bright as the sun, reflecting an indescribable tenacity and stubbornness on her thin, dark face—Chapter One: "Everything in this world is ever-changing; nothing is predetermined, and nothing is fixed." "Man is like this. Fate is like this too." This voice echoed a steady female voice from many years ago. Back then, in the sweltering heat of summer, in the sweat-filled classroom, only her calm voice repeated: "The world is not a collection of unchanging things, but a collection of processes." Two voices, different in tone and pace, struck Xiao Yun Jing's mind like a thunderclap. She raised her eyes, her gaze burning as she looked at Master Jing Shui, and rose to give a deep, respectful bow. "Thank you for your guidance, Master." A glimmer of light appeared; the pale yellow sunset shone through the window lattice, casting the landscape patterns on the window frame onto the young man's white robes. The scene was as perfect as a painting of a sage lecturing at the apricot altar, where students and every falling apricot leaf were his students. He looked forward to their new life, thus forgetting his own aging. The young man's respect and the old man's guidance both stemmed from a sincere heart. —Chapter Six However, on a sunny day after that day, Master suddenly descended the mountain, destroyed the Qian family, and then perished together with Qian Chengzhi of Guanglinzi, who had always coveted her spiritual root, clearing the final obstacle for her. Master's death and the dissipation of his spiritual power nourished the cultivation world, so he left nothing behind. Gu Ning could only kneel outside his bedchamber and kowtow three times. Yet, the Heartless Sword Mountain, perpetually shrouded in snow and wind, remained so still. So still that Gu Ningshan once again astonished the cultivation world, attracting thousands to worship him, with a line of students stretching from the mountaintop to the foot. But unexpectedly, Zhong Yong, though seemingly harmless, was ultimately wounded by fate. His single-minded pursuit of the Heartless Sword Mountain ended in heartbreak. —Chapter Eight, "Junior Brother, what do you consider the righteous path?" "Naturally, it is to do the good of the light, uphold justice, and eliminate demons and protect the righteous path." "The world is full of dark sides you cannot see." "The best state for a righteous disciple is to know the methods, but not to act upon them." "Too rigid, extreme measures may be necessary." Cheng Yu pointed to the Thousand-Faced Ghost lying on the bed, his face contorted in pain, and hesitated before asking, "Like him?" Xiao Yun Jing glanced at the Thousand-Faced Ghost coldly. "I'm merely giving him a taste of his own medicine." "Young man, this is a life-or-death path of cultivation. If I show mercy, you will be the one whose bones are utterly destroyed." —Chapter Fourteen "She said the existence of the righteous path should protect the innocent to the greatest extent possible. Talking about fairness and justice while standing on piles of bones is hypocritical and laughable." "The most terrifying thing is that I agree with her. However, all methods should have a bottom line, a limit." Despicable, then how can we ensure that justice is not abused? How should the limits of justice be defined?" "She used a very interesting term to summarize my words: procedural justice. She said she acknowledged the necessity of procedural justice, but also insisted that a general in the field may disobey orders. Of course, she was happy to accept punishment, and even demanded that I punish her severely." —Chapter Eighteen
