"Later, I received a Spirit Sword—an exceptionally beautiful one.
"It was a sword he had spent everything he had to buy for me.
"He said I'd be able to use it for a very, very long time.
"I was overjoyed when I received the sword. I think I realized then that I actually did like the idea of being a Sword Cultivator.
"It was just that my family wasn't wealthy, so I'd had to give up on the idea.

"I didn't understand what he meant at the time.
"He was answering a question I'd asked him many years before.
"The point of only earning and never spending.
"By the time I realized and wanted to tell him how I felt...
"He had gone out on a mission.
"My father was escorting the Liu Family as part of a collaboration.
"Along the way, they passed through an unfamiliar forest. My father sensed the aura of an Evil Demon and suggested they take a detour for safety.
