Shangguan Wan'Er looked up at the bright moon in the Void. Her gaze gradually grew cold, as if she were lost in memories. Then, she murmured, "The Empire reveres Martial Arts, and both men and women can learn them. However, most women from the great Clans are nothing more than sacrificial pawns in exchanges for benefits. I am no exception.

"I will make a name for myself in the Southern Wilderness, then leave it behind and travel to the vast Divine Wilderness Domain to see the true Martial Arts World."
As she spoke these last words, a determined light flickered in Shangguan Wan'Er's eyes.
Within that light, there was also a hint of anticipation.
"That is my goal." Then, she turned her head and gazed at Ling Fei.
