It started to drizzle after the elders and others had left. As Lin Dan's bones were shattered, she could only stay still in the rain. Even so, she was protected from the cold wind and drizzling rain as Bai Yan created a barrier using his vigorous inner force.

"If your skill is far beyond the Grandmaster, what level is it exactly?" Lin Dan stared at the cloud-like barrier and asked curiously.

"Probably at the Martial Saint." Bai Yan had never let go of her soft hands.

"Martial Saint?" Lin Dan's eyes lit up.

Bai Yan nodded and said, "Yes, there is also Martial God after the Martial Saint level but I have no idea what's beyond."

"We can find it out, as long as we keep moving forward." Lin Dan was full of confidence in the future and her eyes were brighter than usual.

Bai Yan seemed to be pleased with the word "we" and chuckled, "Yes, we will find out one day. Have you ever regretted mastering the Asura Sword Technique?"

Lin Dan shook her head without hesitation and said, "How can I regret if I didn't have a choice in the first place? If not mastering it will bring me death, I rather live in pain. You probably don't know that I'm an orphan who was adopted by He Chongling's father and was trained to be his suicide squad. He threw me into the forest to fight with the beasts so that we would have to kill in order to survive. After escaping from the beasts, he made me kill my comrades. He did this so that we could turn into cold-blooded humans and eliminate our weaknesses. We were not given food or clothes and we had to face death every day. There was no one we could rely on, no one we could trust. We were treated worse than ants and were even more insignificant than dust."

Lin Dan took a sigh of relief and continued, "This is why, I must get stronger so that I won't be trampled on again. I have no other choice and won't regret walking on this path. I'm unlike you who came from a prestigious orthodox sect and have an extremely good background. Countless resources will be delivered to you even without you asking. I'm just like the mud in the ground, who will be crushed into dust if I don't learn to fight."

As Lin Dan spoke about her past, instead of looking resentful or upset, she looked peaceful. She was suffering from an immense pain all the time, but she lived with her head held high and that was good enough.

Bai Yan was heartbroken upon hearing her story and said, "But I have my regrets. I wish I could know you earlier. If I weren't blinded by my own prejudices, you wouldn't become who you are now."

Lin Dan smiled lightly and shook her head, "I chose this path myself and it is of no one's fault."

Bai Yan kept silent for a moment before closing his eyes with a pained look. After a short while, he took out a porcelain bottle that contained a liquid and gave it to Lin Dan. He said tenderly, "This is Lianyun City's special nectar that can dispel hunger and thirst with just one bottle. Since you can't eat or drink now, you will have one bottle of this each day so that your wounds can heal faster. I will get them to clean your body up later and help you change a set of clothes so that you feel more comfortable."

He wiped away the remaining nectar on the corners of Lin Dan's mouth and looked at her in silence for a long while before turning around to look at his female sect members.

They were all wet standing in the rain as they came in a hurry and did not bring an umbrella. Facing their city lord who was the only Martial Saint on the entire Eastern Tang, they did not even dare to breathe or look at him in the eye.

Having gone through many events with Bai Yan, He Yufei stepped forward and said, "Master, I have something to tell you. Could you come over here?"

Bai Yan glared at her before walking towards her and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
