"Zimo, I've made up my mind," Lin Ruhu said hurriedly upon seeing Xu Zimei.
"No matter what, I respect your choice," Xu Zimei replied with a smile and a nod.
"Since I began my cultivation, it was to be by your side. You asked me what my true thoughts were in my heart.
My grandfather told me that everyone cultivates with a goal in mind. Some do it to become strong and take control of their destiny, some for immortality, and some just to protect their loved ones.
I don't have such great aspirations. Destiny, as well as the view at the end of the Martial Path—neither are important to me.
I cultivate just to be by your side, to fight alongside you, so that one day I won't need your protection or even fail to catch up to your shadow."
Seeing Lin Ruhu's sincere expression, Xu Zimei was slightly moved and spoke slowly, "Just like that year when we were seven, when we encountered that Droopy-eyed White Tiger, right?"
