Xie Chaori sighed. "I understand."
Father and son were extraordinarily distant.
Xie Xiyi's gaze passed over them one by one, finally settling on Xie Qingjing's face. Back in the Demon Kingdom, Xie Xiyi had noticed that Demon Kingdom Xie Xiyi seemed to regard Xie Qingjing differently. He had no interest in investigating why, but seeing Xie Qingjing smile foolishly, as though Demon Kingdom Xie Xiyi's few words had restored his innocent nature, he gave Xie Qingjing an artifact he had personally refined, as though his conscience had stirred.
