"I knew we weren't suitable for each other. In the Inner Court, you were the pride of the heavens. At that time, you had already approached eight-ring cultivation, while I was only at five rings. In every aspect, whether it was cultivation or personality, we were worlds apart, not to mention the student-teacher relationship. In order to bury the feelings in my heart, I immersed myself completely in the study of Martial Souls, trying to forget you."
"But when true love arrives, it really isn't something you can just give up on. There was a time when I felt so dejected; I even looked down on myself. I had worked so hard on my research, yet every time I calmed down, I found that my mind was filled with images of you demonstrating your Martial Soul beside me. Every frown and smile of yours stirred my heart. I wanted to find you more than once, but what made me feel helpless was my own inferiority."
