When Qionglou awoke, a young man in dark robes was sitting beside her bed, calling her "Master" over and over!
She thought for a long time. She had never taken a disciple, though she did have a master. Her master thought she was too poor at her cultivation, and crushed her primordial spirit.
That had happened two hundred years ago.
At the Sword Trial Platform, she broke through the heavens with a single sword strike, earning the admiration of cultivators from all directions. She was just a little short of matching the immortal Yaohua of old.
But before she could lower her sword and steady herself, Mingzhao crushed her, from her sword to her body, inch by inch, destroying her primordial spirit completely.
The white-robed Immortal Venerable lowered his eyes and sighed. "So close, and yet you're still not her!"
At the moment her soul scattered, Qionglou didn't feel much resentment. She was merely mortal, and it was only thanks to Mingzhao's protection that she had ascended to immortality. Everything she had learned over those centuries had come from him. Returning it all to him would have settled their accounts.
Unexpectedly, he left behind a fragment of her consciousness, condemning her to wander without reincarnating.
For a hundred years she drifted, with no place in the mortal realm and no welcome in the underworld.
Looking at the young man before her, her memories came back more clearly.
He was the child she had found beneath Mount Canglang all those years ago. She had fed him and tended his wounds for two months. On the eve of the Sword Trial, she had promised to take him as her disciple once she had finished. She never expected things to turn out as they did...
"The Sword Trial is over, Master." The young man beside the bed bowed and knocked his head to the ground.
Qionglou looked at her primordial spirit, which was gradually healing, her limbs reattached, and her body restored as it had been before. Finally, her gaze fell on the pale young man before her, breathing a little unevenly.
"Once I've reclaimed my consciousness, I'll teach you properly." She smiled brightly and reached up to smooth the crease between his brows.
