I believe the Wudan Mt. is located in south of Peiking while the desert is in north west. So, there is no direct connection between the boy's story and the girl's sucide(or, sacrifice?). The boy's wish was clear, to live with her, and she knew it. There is only one, if slim, feasible reason why Li Mu Bai wanted the girl to heir his lineage; she was so good at his Wudan martialarts. That's not good enough reason, however, for choosing a spoiled girl as own's heir because there never been a girl before as they said in their dialogs. So, whatelse really made Li to have her as his heir?
Li treated the girl nicely and protected her a couple of times including the last scene, from poison needles. So, he may treated her like a daughter, but it's not clear from the movie if the girl took him as a father figure or not.
