"They are my friends, my family. If I can't protect them, what's the use of having high cultivation?"
Yin Xiyuan replied indifferently, "But your friends and family will drag you down and get you killed."
Qin Yi shrugged, "In this world, there are always some people worth sacrificing your life for. One day, if I reach the peak and rule the world, I'll have friends and family by my side. And you, you'll only live alone, with no one to share your joys and sorrows. To me, that's the saddest thing."
Yin Xiyuan's eyes darkened, as Qin Yi's words hit his sore spot. He was a devoted man who had only ever loved one person in his life. Unfortunately, fate was cruel, and she passed away without leaving him a child. He never remarried. Just as Qin Yi said, if one day he stands at the pinnacle of the world, who would share his happiness?
Yin Xiyuan's eyes dimmed, feeling a bit desolate inside.
