Jin Ling doesn't press the topic any longer. If he's going to tell, he'll certainly do it. He sort of believes it, maybe. It's not like pushing Wei Wuxian will do anything for Jin Ling right now. If he's anything similar to the one he is familiar with, he probably will find ways to divert the conversation. Something Jin Ling gets rather frustrated about, but somehow has adjusted to it.
That doesn't mean he won't argue it, though. Fairy keeps a fairly good distance from both of them. She knows at this point that Wei Wuxian won't want her to be near and Jin Ling has already instructed her. She's a little sad, but at least he's helping her master to safety. So, the spiritual dog just trails quietly behind, no barks, no yaps. She's well behaved and well trained, clearly.
The noise really is bothering him. Those voices, pleading, telling him to stay, let go and don't leave. If he hasn't already experienced something similar, he might have fallen to its lulling, but not this time. He tries to ignore it the best he can as he listens to Wei Wuxian's voice, focusing on just that. There's no place for him here, anyway. It's better to get back to the train, or whatever seems more appropriate for him.
It helps that the topic of discussion is his parents and he definitely has a huge amount of interest towards it. Somehow, those words, he normally will refute, he doesn't. How can someone talk about his father like that?! Though, after seeing his father and Wei Wuxian argue about the ridiculous of things, he sort of-- well gets it. To some degree. He's not sure how similar all of this is, but he's assuming there's not too much of a difference.
"...I heard-- he's unbelievable at times. I saw him arguing with-- that Wei Wuxian. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it."
He sighed. He's a little aware that his father may have rubbed off on him a little. Not too much, but enough, because some of those words-- ouch! It really hits too close to him.
"I know-- that's what everyone keeps telling me."
He misses them dearly. Especially, that one moment of experience. He silently hopes that he might be able to see his father or mother at some point. Though, he doesn't know if that will happen. A boy can be a bit optimistic, right? He takes a moment to process the apology for a moment.
"It's fine. I-- well there's a lot of things. I don't want to talk about them all right now. If whatever you experienced in your world is similar to the Wei Wuxian I know, then I get it. I know you cared about my mother very much and I know that you're not-- completely at fault for the things that happened."
Again, he'd have to go after every single person at this point if he's out for revenge. He's tired of it all and really doesn't want to always be wrapped up in it. He has his family, people that cared about him and vise versa. He has to focus on that. He also has to focus on fixing Lanling Jin when he returns, so no more tragedies like his parents or Wei Wuxian's happen again. Of course, Jin Ling isn't going to say any of those out loud. It makes him sound extremely sappy.
oops sorry went tldr mode on this ;W;

"Thanks-- for telling me about them, my parents."
