Watching the excitement of the elders to the point of being indescribable,
Xiao Yi helplessly shook his head, then smiled with understanding.
It was as if he saw the anticipation of the Xiao Family elders when he had first left the family—
Just as sincere, just as "adorable."
After a moment, Xiao Yi suddenly stood up.
First, he bowed deeply to the elders, then said, "If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave, elders."
"Where are you going?" the elders asked in unison.
Now, every word and action from Xiao Yi caused the elders' nerves to tingle.
"Back to my family," Xiao Yi replied indifferently.
The elders immediately showed a look of shame and said, "Xiao Yi, you are still blaming us for favoring Gu Changkong in the past, aren't you?"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Elders, you misunderstand; there are just some unresolved grievances in my family that I need to attend to."
"Once that's taken care of, I will make time to return to the Sword Sect."
