Ji Dong looked at Ji Yeshang, "Are you here to mediate?"
Ji Yeshang shook his head and said, "I know you've suffered a lot since childhood, and everything you have today is the result of your own efforts. But, I also hope that you would hear my explanation, listen to the truth. Perhaps, you may have a different perspective. If you are willing to listen, I will continue. If not, I will leave."
It had been a year since they'd last seen each other, but Ji Yeshang seemed to have changed completely. No longer frivolous as before, he now had an inherent steadiness characteristic of the Wu Earth System.
Ji Dong's gaze shifted to the massive Thunder Ball in the sky formed by Frey and the Purple Thunder Sky Dragon. He said lightly, "Speak."
