"After that day, I became the nightmare of countless people. Even now, whenever I think of the fear in their eyes, it still hurts..."
Xue Wuyang spoke in low spirits.
"Dad, are you angry? Scold me."
Xue Wuyang turned to look at him.
Chi Xiu sighed, placing a hand on her shoulder as he comforted her. "I'm not someone who cares about money or property. I was just a little surprised. You don't need to carry too much of a burden in your heart. It's not like a lot of people died."
"More than ten thousand people died."
Chi Xiu: "..."
Tears fell as Xue Wuyang spoke. "Everyone in an entire town suffered, including all the descendants of Purple Star Sect. So... one of the reasons I didn't want to return to Douluo Continent was that I had no way to face it. There has always been a hurdle in my heart."
"Were the people of Purple Star Sect descendants continued by Chi Anran?"
"Yes."
Chi Xiu took a deep breath.
If something like that had truly happened, then it really was a disaster.
Chi Xiu believed that even if he held absolute authority on Douluo Continent, he could not simply erase the responsibility Xue Wuyang carried.
But what had she done wrong?
Chi Xiu opened his arms and held his daughter tightly against his chest.
"No one could have predicted something like this. You didn't want it to happen either. Don't blame yourself too much."
"That's exactly what you told me ten thousand years ago. Not a single word was different."
Remembering scenes from the past, Xue Wuyang could not help hugging Chi Xiu a little tighter.
The two returned to the border of Heaven Dou Empire.
Xue Wuyang did not have Chi Xiu teleport directly into the sect.
