Thinking of this, Yun Feimiao couldn't help but feel a headache, and there was a hint of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Xie Yang.
Xie Yang felt bitter when he saw this and sighed softly, "I was the one who broke the promise back then. Can this first place be considered as an apology?"
Yun Feimiao shook his head: "Afeng, I don't need any apology, I just want to know why."
The reward for ranking first was nothing to him, but it was generous enough for Xie Yang, and Yun Feimiao did not want to take advantage of it.
He still couldn't help but worry about why Xie Yang broke his promise. Even though time had passed and the past had been buried deep in the valley, when he saw his old friend again, those memories and regrets instantly flooded his heart, making his nose feel sore.
"I am just an abandoned child of the Xie family. I don't have a father who has high hopes for me, nor a mother who is seriously ill at home because of worrying about me."
Xie Yang's tone was flat, as if he was just talking about someone else's business.
"They tricked me back because they were afraid I'd be out there and difficult to control, and that I'd become a knife that would stab them in the back."
"But I was stupid at that time, still blinded by the so-called family affection. Who knew that after returning, I would face exile from the Xie family and be sent to the Great Wilderness."
He also thought about escaping at all costs and going to Yuncheng to keep the appointment, but the price was almost losing his legs.
Many years later, he finally escaped from the Great Wilderness, but he no longer had the courage to face Yun Feimiao. If Yun Feimiao had not approached him earlier, he would probably never have dared to recognize Yun Feimiao.
For him, breaking a promise is breaking a promise, even if it is not what he wants, it is still his fault.
Yun Feimiao had never thought that the truth would be like this. He nervously pulled Xie Yang's sleeve: "Then you now..."
"Azhuo and I both ran away secretly. Our situation is similar to Brother Jiang's. If we're not careful, we'll be surrounded and attacked by the entire family."
Yun Feimiao couldn't understand: "But why is this? Which family would treat a heavenly-grade spiritual root or a top-grade spiritual root as an abandoned child?"
"I don't know either." Xie Yang shook his head, "But it doesn't matter anymore. The Wanjian Sect will be our best refuge."
Xie Yang laughed again as he spoke: "From now on, we are all fellow disciples. I hope Xiao Qi will give us more guidance."
