He stood stiff and motionless. After a long moment, Gao Hesheng finally spoke.
"Master Xia Tian, can I really see my family again?" As he spoke, his lips quivered slightly, his voice involuntarily strained.
In Gao Hesheng's mind, the matter of his family had long become a fixed mindset, which was why he hadn't mentioned it to Xia Liang earlier. He had instinctively assumed that perhaps even Xia Liang couldn't divine something like this. But now, a single sentence from Xia Liang had rekindled his hope!
Gao Hesheng took a deep breath, struggling to calm his emotions. It took him a long time before he could slowly speak.

Here in Qingyun City, I cried for help to no avail. So many years have passed that my memories have blurred. I simply can't remember where home is."
