Xu Xiaoshou stared at him, silent for a long time, finally speaking in a slow voice:
"Regardless of whether it's genuine or false affection, when I was at the Innate stage, his name was known, and he always treated me as an equal."
"I sought freedom, he granted freedom, I wished to establish my own sect, he was willing to lift the restrictions..."
"I can do that too." Yue Gongli said sincerely.
Xu Xiaoshou seemed oblivious, continuing his own thoughts, "To this day, I do not know what he was thinking back then, whether it was genuine or false. But the words he spoke, the promises he made, are all realized now, without exception."
Hua and Yue, both were momentarily stunned.
They were both influential figures, holding high positions, and they both somewhat understood what Xu Xiaoshou was trying to convey:
It might have been a lie.
But a lifetime of lies ceases to be lies, they become the unbreakable "promise."
