Xie Xiyi said, "It's hardly a secret. I imagine all the venerables of the Anuttara Buddhist Sect know."
Chi Yu said stiffly, "What if-what if someone went after your family to hurt you?"
Xie Xiyi said, "It wouldn't work. I have to kill them with my own hands."
Chi Yu said, "...No, that's not what I mean."
His mind raced faster and faster. Clearly, Senior Brother Xuanji cared about his family ties. Could it be... Chi Yu's voice grew urgent. "Senior Brother Xuanji, no, your family is your soft spot, your weakness. What if someone targeted the Great Xia Imperial Clan and killed them all?"
Seeing how anxious and worried he was for him, Xie Xiyi felt something stir inside, and his tone softened a little. "Impossible. If they lack even that ability to protect themselves, then their extermination would only be natural, in keeping with the Heavenly Dao."
Chi Yu said, "..."
Though he spoke so casually, Chi Yu kept feeling that Senior Brother Xuanji's future change very likely had something to do with this.
What should he do?
Was there any good solution?
Chi Yu couldn't think of one for the moment, so he could only set it aside and tell Xie Xiyi, "Senior Brother Xuanji, I think you need to be on your utmost guard.
