Chapter 1419: Persuading to Join

"But what can I do..." Yichuan Ying lowered her head, asking with a hint of sadness.

"Anything is better than placing all your hopes on cultivation. You have been confirmed unable to cultivate, so why give up on yourself? Isn't it okay to place your hopes elsewhere?" Cheng Ziang patiently persuaded her.

"Like what...?" Yichuan Ying looked up at him with a pitiful expression.

"Go study!" Cheng Ziang said impatiently.

"Oh..." Startled by Cheng Ziang's sternness, Yichuan Ying shyly lowered her head and averted her gaze, falling silent.

Cheng Ziang seemed to feel his words were too harsh and was just about to offer comfort when Yichuan Ying beat him to it, raising her head to speak first, "What about... my father and brother..."

"I don't want to lie to you," hearing this, Cheng Ziang's gaze darkened, and he looked away as he spoke, "I don't know about your father, but your brother Yichuan Yong is dead. Killed by my own hand."
