At those words, the Symbol Ancestor's tone faltered.
Everyone had come for the World Embryo. Big Brother should not criticize Second Brother.
If not for this rare World Embryo, who would have nothing better to do than run to this Lower Plane?
Wasn't the vast and boundless Great Thousand World far more appealing?
The Demonic Emperor was like this, and so was the Symbol Ancestor. At most, they had chosen different methods.
Thus, the Symbol Ancestor truly found it hard to say anything.
"Sir, although the living beings of this Lower Plane are weak, they are living beings after all. You..."
Lu Yunxiao waved his hand, interrupting the Symbol Ancestor once more. "I understand what you mean. All I can say is that I am human."
"Besides..."
As Lu Yunxiao spoke, his gaze fell upon Ying Huanhuan below. Ying Huanhuan raised her little face and met Lu Yunxiao's eyes.

Yet a hint of gratification flashed through his weathered eyes.
"This... truly exceeds this old man's expectations."
"But now, this old man can truly rest easy."
"Hehe, Bing'er, congratulations. As your Master, I am happy for you as well."
The Symbol Ancestor's light form chuckled. All his concern and vigilance toward Lu Yunxiao vanished without a trace.

But now, it seemed those contingencies would no longer be needed.
Yet he felt no regret. Instead, he was happy for Ying Huanhuan.
"Master!"
Ying Huanhuan called out softly, sparkling tears
