As she walked, the people still gossiped about her. Arriving at her house, the old woman was waiting for her outside.

"Aunt Pei, what are you doing here?" Sheri asked in confusion.

"I've been waiting for you. I heard that you are leaving the sect. Is it because of Xi Feng or Master sect that you are leaving?" The old woman probed.

Sheri just smiled and led her first inside her house.

"Aunt Pei, I am sincerely indebted for all the things you've done." Sheri sincerely said and got up. She was about to kowtow, but the old woman stopped her.

"Aunt Pei, please accept my way of gratitude. You have been like a mother to me therefore I am grateful and blessed to have you. But, it's time for me now to look for my own path. To be able to experience the world outside, I have to leave the sect. This is what I desired to do." Sheri sincerely explained.

The old woman started tearing up. She fondly remembered the time she found her in the flowering bush. She took pity on her and made the decision to take her under her wings. She was delighted to have someone she can call daughter despite being embarrassed and humiliated by the people around her. The innocent child whom she lovingly and carefully nurtured, had already grown up. It was painful for her knowing about her decision to leave, but she completely understood her situation, inside the sect. Every time Ah Mi was being humiliated, she also felt the pain. Maybe leaving the sect was the best for her, and she will give her full support.

"Aunt Pei understands." She naturally gave a reassuring smile and gave Sheri a tight embrace. Sheri and the old woman talked sensibly for a long period of time until they unanimously decided to go on their separate ways.

Sheri woke up early in the breezy morning and packed a few clothes and things she needed on her travel. She prepared a bag and put everything in it. Being a second female lead, she was no better than an ordinary character in the story. The female lead had a special ring where she can put whatever she needed while she, as a second female lead has nothing. Most of the time, they were even considered as cannon fodders or a stepping stone to lift up or glorify the progress of the female lead.

"Sheri, fighting!", Sheri sighed at the thought.

She made the last round of all the things she needed to bring making sure that nothing is missing. She looked around the house one last time then resolutely stepped outside, locking the door and walked towards the house of the old woman. She kowtowed in front of the old woman's house three times in silence and walked away. The old woman was awake at that time. She sensed Sheri's presence and knew her actions, but she didn't appear in front of her.

"Be well my child and may your journey be fruitful." The old woman softly said as tears flowed from her sad eyes.

According to the rumors, there were many fierce animals lurking outside the sect. Not just these dangerous animals but even people who were scattered around with evil intentions robbing other people of their properties and if it comes to worst, their lives. Knowing these instances, Sheri prepared herself.

She walked through the thick fog leaving their sect. Once she was out of their sect's territory, she saw the place was very different from where she lived. The place still has lush forests, but the trees were not so lively compared to her sect. She continued on her way but after a while, she heard a noise.

She looked at a corner and saw an emerging wild boar. The same size as her. It gave her a start. At first, making her unable to react fast as the fierce wild boar suddenly went forward to attack her. She gripped on her sword as the wild boar was just seconds away from her when out of nowhere, a figure flashed and attacked the wild boar. It was injured and scrambled to run away.

The man turned around and walked towards Sheri.

"What are you doing here? Go home." The man ordered.

Sheri looked at the man. He's wearing a bamboo hut on his head and a cloth covering his face. When he spoke, Sheri recalled a familiar voice from the owner's memory.
