Master Bai held Bai Lung in his arms, feeling a mix of conflicting emotions. There was a sense of pride at his son's exceptional talents, but the price he had paid to ensure his son's safety weighed heavy on his heart.
As Bai Lung continued to cry, Master Bai gently rocked him, trying to soothe him.
"Shhh... Quiet now," he murmured, his voice a mix of tenderness and solemnity.
"You've been through a lot tonight, even before you were properly born...Sigh!"
Master Bai's thoughts continued to revolve around the loss of his loyal servants. Their sacrifice for his son's life wasn't something he could forget easily.
He sighed, his expression a mixture of gratitude and remorse. "These people... they gave their lives for you, without hesitation," he whispered to the baby.
"They saw something in you... something that surpassed mere talent."
