I wasn't sure. I wanted to fight but it was my brother. And I learned that Jinmi was not capable of romantic love due to a pill she had taken at some point. Then everything changed when we learned she was my betrothed.

Suddenly I didn't wish to give her up. I wanted to fight for at least one thing to be mine. Just one.

[Runyu sighs softly.]

Jinmi couldn't become Immortal yet. She hadn't faced suffering. And so she was tasked to take Mortal Trials in order to experience suffering and understand what we do. There was danger to her though and Xufeng followed after. I could only wait. And during this time another Immortal, Yanyou, approached me. He revealed to me that my mother was alive and that she needed me.
