"I am the daughter of a minor official from Gen State, favored and selected by my master for the chance to cultivate in Xuanmen. Why would I consort with the demonic path? It was only because my lowly status was overshadowed by my aptitude and seniority that I suffered the jealousy of petty individuals. I was ambushed by the scions of generals and warlords, and in a moment of weakness, I accidentally killed someone. My master then claimed that I was too impulsive, too ruthless, and too shallow-minded, with a vindictive nature bound to bring disaster, and thus expelled me from the sect. How could I just accept this?"
