I Shattered My Own Bones and Left Her World Forever

At the Grand Tournament, my master shattered my Soul-Bound Sword in front of the entire sect.

She withdrew her hand. "Without your sword, let's see how you walk the Path of the Unfeeling."

But what I heard was the voice inside her head, sick and frenzied:

With the sword gone, he's nothing. He'll have no choice but to cling to me, day and night. My little caged bird.

Descending from Cloudrise Terrace, her step faltered and she fell.

The voice surged again: Does it hurt him to see this? Hurry, come help me up! Just reach out your hand and I'll forgive everything.
