Inside the Secret Realm, Xu Ziqing wore a conflicted expression.
"Senior Brother has done me the favor of giving me a new life!"
"It's only right that I repay him with whatever I can."
"But my entire family died because of it."
This was what made the delicate-looking youth struggle the most. He felt he couldn't make this decision on his own.
After thinking it over again and again, Xu Ziqing came up with a compromise.
"You're all watching me from Heaven, aren't you?"

The note inside the pouch had already been carefully folded back along the creases, then returned inside.
"If your spirits still watch over me from Heaven, I'll toss this pouch."
"If it lands face-up, that means you approve of this and agree to let me give that thing to Senior Brother."
"If it lands face-down, that means you're unwilling."
Xu Ziqing took a deep breath and gently tossed the pouch into the air.
The pouch didn't land on the dusty ground. He was sitting on the floor, with his robe spread out beneath him, and had controlled its direction when tossing it. The pouch landed on his clothes.
—It was face-down!
Xu Ziqing's gaze sharpened, and he stared blankly for a long while. He hadn't expected it to be face-down.

"Father, Mother, Grandma, Little Sister, there's something you don't know. Senior Brother..." He rambled on and on.
It was as if the pouch had landed face-down because his deceased relatives knew too little.
After finishing, he looked up again and said, "Senior Brother has been this good to me.
