At the mention of Bai Sheng's name, Lu Sangjiu couldn't help but clench her fists. She already had a feeling she knew what he was going to say.
Sure enough, Xie Ningyuan continued, "Back then, Bai Sheng was merely friends with the Demon Cultivator Gu Huang, and for that, she was condemned by all and cast out by her sect."
"She made the decisive choice to betray her sect, but she could never truly let go of her attachments to it. In the end, that was what allowed others to plot against her, and it cost her her life."
"If that's what happens to mere friends, then... what do you think would happen to a dao companion?"
A wave of sadness washed over Lu Sangjiu... It wasn't because she understood she could never be with Gu Jue, or that she couldn't be dao companions with anyone at all.
She was simply mourning the prejudice of this world, the sheer injustice of it all.
She couldn't help but look at Xie Ningyuan. "Then what about you?"
