    I stood at the foot of the Cliff of Repentance, watching those once-familiar faces clashing above. The sight of Chu Ziyu and Gu Hansheng exchanging blows stung my eyes, yet I felt a sense of absurdity—how could they still have the strength to fight? Their most precious possessions had already been shattered into dust. The gust of wind that Su Chen, my master, brought forth when he emerged from seclusion whipped dust onto my face. I watched him tremble as he held up the Soul-Nourishing Jade, which was on the verge of breaking. I suddenly remembered the first time I met him; he had also carefully placed this jade in my palm. Back then, he said, "Little Five, this is a supreme treasure that can lock away the soul." But now, even this supreme treasure couldn't hold onto my scattered remnant soul. The clamor from the inn surged in like a tide. Yun Shu, pale-faced, confronted the innkeeper. I looked at the room I used to live in, and suddenly remembered the night she threw me off the building. Back then, curled up in the dust, listening to the mocking laughter drifting from upstairs, I had already decided to erase all traces of myself from this world. "Burn it." As the innkeeper's words fell, I saw Chu Ziyu's bloodshot eyes. He staggered, grabbing Yun Shu's collar, his voice hoarse like shattered glass: "So, you were the one who threw her downstairs that day?" I couldn't help but want to laugh, yet also want to cry—so they only found out now? That rainy night, I got up soaking wet, looking at my discarded belongings, and suddenly felt that the ten years of master-disciple relationship, the bond between senior and junior brothers and sisters, were all a joke. Gu Hansheng's urging voice mixed with Chu Ziyu's suppressed sobs, buzzing in my ears. They were still looking for my personal belongings, trying to use them to keep me here. But they didn't know that I had already burned everything to ashes. That embroidered purse, as I watched it curl into black ash in the fire, I suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. Was this revenge? Perhaps. After all, when they pushed me into the abyss, they didn't think about whether I would be shattered to pieces. I stood quietly to the side, watching them search the inn. The strange looks they cast my way, the gossip criticizing the Lingyun Sect disciples—none of it mattered to me anymore. Watching Chu Ziyu's despairing back, I suddenly felt weary. In this life, I'd had enough of being the pride of the Lingyun Sect, and I'd had enough of the hurt they inflicted. "Is her spiritual root up to par?" Chu Ziyu's voice held a desperate, resolute edge. I looked down at my transparent palm and chuckled softly. Spiritual root? My spiritual root had long since vanished amidst their repeated misunderstandings and harm. This time, no one could hold me back. 99

Did I really not feel a little bit moved? In the end, it was simply that the throne outweighed the beauty.
