Xiang Wanshu met Zhao Layue last year by the seashore of West Ocean, witnessing with his very own eyes her killing a man without a single word.
He had never in his life entertained the thought that one could kill somebody without a word, since he had a quite mild temperament, and he could even be regarded as being weak to some extent.
The rainbow that illuminated the whole Cold Platform was the Thoughtless Sword.
Zhao Layue was the personal disciple of Immortal Jing Yang.
And Immortal Jing Yang was his most admired master of the previous generations.
All these mixed emotions had produced a reverential feeling inside Xiang Wanshu toward Zhao Layue, which in turn led to affection.
