Nuwa didn't speak. When she arrived, she hadn't thought that she needed to apologize to He Xi. She believed that her actions were always motivated, but if she hadn't done anything wrong, where was this compensation coming from?
"Sister, why aren't you saying anything?" Seeing Nuwa remain silent, He Xi tilted her head to look at her. "It's okay. I know that you did it for Chen's sake. I'm fine, and Chen has been taking very good care of me. Even if I was misunderstood by you, it's alright now that the misunderstanding is cleared up."
Although He Xi said that, she didn't feel as generous as her words suggested.
She actually felt very wronged, and Nuwa pursed her lips, feeling very conflicted.
In the past, she had dealt with commoners. To save them from misery and suffering, getting hurt was of little consequence.
But what was different now from before was that, previously, she faced a collective. She only needed to ensure their physical safety without considering anything else.
