On Mo Qi's sixth birthday, he got an ancient sword with a spirit in it, named Baiji.
From then on, Baiji practiced swordsmanship with her and grew up with her. When she was eight years old, she tilted her head and said, "The sword is the swordsman's wife, then you are my wife."
That was the best time in Mo Qi's life - until the demonic cultivator destroyed her family, the white kites all over the mountain fell, and all the people she loved were buried in a sea of fire.
And the immortal cultivators who claimed to be innocent divided up everything she had on the ruins.
Nine-year-old Mo Qi carried Baiji on her back and walked into the Shiwanda Mountain alone. Her eyes were frozen from then on. Only when she faced the cyan figure in the sword would a little warmth come out from under the ice. She thought they would depend on each other like this forever.
When she was twelve years old, someone in the distance used Ten Thousand Swords to Return to the Clan, summoning ten thousand swords in the world. Baiji trembled violently in her arms - she couldn't keep it.
Jianfei is gone
When he came back, he was covered in bruises, the sword was full of cracks, and the spirit stone was dull.
Mo Qi knelt on the ground and held the scarred sword into his arms. She did not cry.
"I will become stronger," she said, her voice trembling but she meant every word. "Strong enough that one day, when you want to fly out, I can be with you. Strong enough that no matter what happens, I can stand in front of you instead of watching you fight alone."
Bai Ji looked at her and was silent for a long time.
Then she reached out her hand and gently touched Mo Qi's hair
"Okay" she said
"I'm waiting for you"
From then on, she practiced even harder, going from a lone wolf-like casual cultivator to the head of the Sword Sect.
She learned Ten Thousand Swords and Returned to the Sect, but never used it - because the price of that move was that the caster would disappear from heaven and earth within ten days.
Three hundred years later, the demon cultivator made a comeback. This time, she stood in front of everyone
She arranged a way out for Bai Ji and walked towards the battlefield. Bai Ji didn't know the truth until the end.
"What about me?" Baiji's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
