She had already reached the peak of the fourth-order, and having thoroughly studied the history of Mysticism, she knew that no matter how much she learned, she might never advance any further in this life.
The shackles that no one had broken through for five hundred years, she didn't feel she could break through it.
So, even if her master didn't expel her from the sect, she had already planned to leave the master's side.
Later, her master suddenly went into closed-door cultivation; it happened very unexpectedly, leaving no words behind.
Many people in the sect wanted to kill Lv Yao, and with the master in seclusion, there was no one to protect Lv Yao, so Jin Cenglv had to cover him, hence she didn't leave, planning to protect Lv Yao until the master came out of seclusion.
However, before the master came out of seclusion, she met Zhezhi.
She learned of Zhezhi from Lv Yao.
