"Zhou Chuan, I thank you. When the sect suffered a catastrophe, I happened to be away. When I learned the sect had been destroyed, I had enemies yet lacked the courage to exact vengeance. It was you, using your own strength, who took fierce revenge and fulfilled my dearest wish."
"Zhou Chuan, I have also failed you. You were my disciple, yet I never taught you even a single move or half a stance, and instead made things difficult for you time and again. I am not a good master, nor do I deserve to be. If you were still alive, I imagine your cultivation base would long have surpassed mine."
"I actually once hoped you would come to save me—how utterly shameless and absurd that thought was. You owe me nothing!"
