I was still replaying Tao Song's message over and over in my head, when my hungry spirit spent the last of its Death energy and dissipated.
I clenched my fist in powerless frustration.
There was no good reply I could give to Tao Song. Not now, at least.
All I could do was to keep practicing my swordsmanship.
When Lin Chu met with me for another training session, he commended the efforts I put into it.
My dedication lasted until the next sunset. Then I went to the same spot, summoned another hungry spirit, and spoke the words that churned in my heart.
"Our sects shouldn't have been fighting in the first place. Was attacking the Purple Dragon Sect worth it, Miss Song?"
Her reply came only in the morning again, which gave me time to catch a nap.
