His Plan

I don't remember how I managed to put on my clothes with my trembling hands. I was shaking all over, as if the snow from that vision had frozen me from inside out. I stumbled when I climbed out of bed, stumbled again over the threshold when I ran out of the room. I didn't know where I was going … until my feet took me to the small hill behind the library where Bai Ye's meditation chamber stood.

I halted at the entrance. Why did I come here? What did I want to do? Maybe Bai Ye hadn't started his retreat yet, and I could still talk to him … about what?

There was no question about what I saw and what I felt. I didn't know why the master from Azure Dragon Palace told me that I had no past life, but I knew for certain that the girl in red was me, and she had walked the exact same path I was walking right now. She bonded with Twin Stars. She gained tremendous power from it. She dual cultivated with Bai Ye …

And then he killed her with his own hands.
