[ This youth... he's so fresh-faced and innocent looking. He clearly likes Shen Qingqiu very much. A half-demon? The idea seems absurd. And yet... hadn't he himself been young and fresh-faced once? He'd walked the broad and shining path of celestial cultivation. What if someone had told him.... what if his adopted father had told him that he'd one day lose his golden core and become a demonic cultivator?
Would this have tainted his innocence? Would it have made what came later easier to bear? He would have been able to prepare for it; he'd have been able to adapt more quickly, he thinks. He casts about in his mind for a long while. If he were actually Shen Qingqiu, he would have no choice but to pick option A; he couldn't bear to see this child in pain. But because he has no real attachment to the boy...
He picks option C. In the end, it's the right decision, he thinks. ]
