If not for her duty to protect the Heavenly Inquiry Sect, she would have ascended more than twenty years ago.
For all these years, she lived in seclusion on the back mountain, never once stepping outside the Heavenly Inquiry Sect.
Her solitary life had never chilled her heart, but the reactions of the crowd today left her utterly dismayed.
'Even if I have no great achievements to my name, surely my hard work counts for something?'
But the reality was that not a single person was happy for her.
Instead, all she heard were accusations.
Liu Lan Yi's expression grew somber, and she couldn't help but glance at Song Wanning.
At that moment, she finally understood what Song Wanning had meant: 'The Heavenly Inquiry Sect isn't worth it…'
'So be it.'
Her connection to the Heavenly Inquiry Sect had run its course. It was better to sever these mortal ties and ascend without any lingering attachments.
