'So I can't even protect myself?' Shangguan Wan'Er's mind went blank.
Shangguan Wan'Er had thought herself a genius in the Beiming Sword Sect, with few who could compare.
Because of this, she assumed the Beiming Sword Sect wouldn't make things difficult for her.
But in the blink of an eye, the Beiming Sword Sect had presented her with such an ultimatum.
"As your master, I wish I could protect you, but you know that if the Sect Leader is insistent, there's nothing I can do," You Ji said.
"You are indeed a genius, but a Sect demands absolute loyalty from its talented disciples. Since your heart isn't with the Sect, why would they tolerate you?"
As Shangguan Wan'Er listened, she gradually began to understand.
"Is this really the only way?" Shangguan Wan'Er murmured under her breath.
"Correct. Either he dies, or you do," You Ji said. "You'd better think this through carefully."
"What if I don't kill Ling Fei?" Shangguan Wan'Er said.
