WangJi was quiet for a moment. "I was trying to protect Wei Ying. He became an enemy in our world in his first life. I was one of the few who knew he was not the person the cultivation world claimed him to be. My brother sent elders of my sect to retrieve me before others discovered me there with Wei Ying and I, in turn, was disgraced. I fought with my own sect trying to protect Wei Ying. For that, I was punished. I was in too much pain most of the time to be with him when he was very young."

As much as he would have preferred to be with the child when he was younger, he wouldn't change what he had done to try and protect WuXian. Also, Sizhui had picked up XiChen's diplomatic nature.

"I see. It must have been difficult then if you had been close to your cousin."
