Shou Chengzi walked out of the Celestial Master Hall, carrying Wang Xiao in his arms.
He didn't use an Escape Technique, instead walking toward the Exorcism Tower on the back mountain. His steps were heavy and slow.
It was as if he was trying to delay the inevitable for as long as possible.
He looked at the infant in his arms, whose large, bright eyes held a hint of naive innocence, and let out a sigh.
"Alas, child, you're a pitiful soul. If I had known it would come to this, I would have abandoned you to fend for yourself. That would still have been a better fate than entering this Exorcism Tower."
"I have failed the trust Miss Xiaodie placed in me..."
Hearing this, Wang Xiao's face turned ashen. He could only let Shou Chengzi carry him onward.
