"But it was only on the night you were admitted to Hundred Herbs Hall, unconscious from overexerting your divine soul, that I noticed something was wrong."

"Then, in the latter half of that night, your Fourth Senior Brother suddenly came to your bedside, seemingly intending to wake you."
"After confirming that the Blade Ghost was making a move, I intended to borrow Ping'an's body to deal with him. But for all my calculations, I never anticipated that a wicked soul from this small world could actually wield a blade domain, and I was dragged straight into it."
