"So, Mistress, have you let go?" Hearing Scholar Lv's words, Bai Lingmiao felt a tremor in her heart as buried memories rose to the surface.
She wanted to say that she had let go, but she couldn't bring herself to open her mouth.
Seeing Bai Lingmiao standing motionless without an answer, Scholar Lv bowed to her, then turned and walked out of the White Lotus Sect's sanctuary.
"Mistress! Don't try to persuade me. I, Scholar Lv, may not be of much use, but if I can kill even one more Dharma Sect believer, then I am useful."
When the drums from the distant military camp sounded the call to assemble and march, an excited Scholar Lv tugged at the Copper Coin Sword on his back. He ran toward the camp, singing operatic lines.
"In success, I return to my homeland; in defeat, my life is lost in a foreign land! Vengeance for my kin is only right! With loyal heart, I go alone! My blood boils, my heart burns with zeal!"
