"Father!" Xi He called when the door opened and he saw his father, Xi Shi, who returned home. He rose from his seat and came to his father. "Have you had lunch? I cooked you some dishes!" he told him and awkwardly smiled.
Xi Shi looked at his son. Looking at his son's awkward smile, he suddenly felt pain and guilt in his heart. How long have they been estranged from each other? They don't look like a father and son at all, but more like distant relatives. Even distant relatives are closer to each other than the father and son to each other.
Ever since he fell five years ago due to what happened in the Intersect Competition, he was ashamed. He didn't have the guts to return to the sect, since he knew that he would be punished by the head of the Xie Clan, who didn't want someone disgraceful like him. And so he left.
