His voice trailed off, and a faint sigh of regret accompanied his next words. "While I was in secluded cultivation, my disciple suffered a devastating calamity and perished, her soul scattered across the vast expanse of the heavens and earth, lost to the cycle of rebirth. Because she was an anomaly, existing outside the conventional order of this world, I believed her essence would drift endlessly until its final dissipation. However, due to your own unique nature as an anomaly, our destinies became intertwined. Through a stroke of extraordinary fortune and accumulated good karma, she was granted a sliver of life and was reborn as your daughter. Upon discovering this, I sought to find a suitable vessel in the lower realm to facilitate her return."
Hearing this revelation, Feng Jiu was visibly taken aback. "Are you saying that my daughter was your disciple in a previous life?" she asked, her tone laced with clear disbelief. "How could that possibly be?"
