The originally somewhat heavy words were not something Ling Xiao wanted to say to Lan Xue. After all, she was still a twelve-year-old little girl, and it seemed inappropriate for her to experience such cruelty so early.
But since the conversation had reached this point today, he could not avoid saying it.
Otherwise, one day, Lan Xue might end up dying miserably due to her compassion and empathy.
Regretting at that time would be too late.
"Big brother, I understand now."
Although there was still some confusion in Lan Xue's eyes, at least she understood one thing.
Ling Xiao was not born ruthless and cold; rather, he had to be that way.
Only by being so could he avoid many dangers and ensure everyone lived well.
"Take your time to appreciate it. At least now you're by my side, and you won't be harmed, but one day, you'll have to spread your wings and fly."
