"Now that you've broken through to the Golden Core stage, my task is complete. The bond of master and disciple between us has come to an end. From now on, I am no longer your master."
At those words, Ye Yun's previously happy expression suddenly changed. A sense of foreboding rose in her heart.
"From now on, you must walk your own path. I cannot shelter you for a lifetime. When you venture into the world in the future, be sure to stay safe."
"How far you can grow depends entirely on yourself. Remember this: once you leave, do not mention my Daoist name. No matter whom you meet, do not mention my Daoist name."
"From this day forth, there is no longer any bond or status of master and disciple between us. If you wish to see me, then cultivate diligently. Once your cultivation surpasses mine, you will be able to see me again."
"Inside this Spatial Ring are most of my treasured possessions. I am giving them all to you. Do not take them out in front of strangers, lest they become green with envy."
Xiaoyao handed Ye Yun a Spatial Ring and patted her hand. By then, tears were already glimmering in Ye Yun's eyes.
She could not believe that the master she revered would speak such heartless words.
"Alright, I have said all I needed to say. Remember this: in the future, no matter whom you encounter, you are not allowed to mention my Daoist name, nor are you allowed to mention anything related to me."
"Just pretend I never existed in your life."
After Xiaoyao finished speaking, he looked at Ye Yun with a solemn expression.
"No, Master, I don't... Please don't leave me, alright? You are my master. You will always be my master.
