The maid returned to her room and just as she closed the door, she sensed a familiar and domineering aura behind her.

"You saw her?"

The maid's hand that was closing the door paused, then she nodded stiffly.

"So after you saw her, you didn't dare look back at me?"

The maid turned around instantly, stretched out her hand and waved it repeatedly, making gestures to explain, "You know mother doesn't think so. Mother treats you and her the same."

"That's enough, stop with all those hand gestures! I can't understand!"

Pei Zhinian stood up and walked to the maid. Looking at her pitiful appearance with tears in her eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"When you were talking to Pei Zhiyi, you took into consideration that she couldn't understand your gestures, so even though it was troublesome, you still wrote to communicate with her. Why don't you treat me like that?"

The maid didn't know what to do for a moment. Her palms and backs of her hands were made of flesh, so how could she lose sight of one thing while focusing on the other?

"Sometimes I'm really curious. Do bad people not deserve love? Do I have to be the most shameful person?"

"No, no!"

The maid originally wanted to continue communicating with gestures because she knew Pei Zhinian could understand and that the words she had just said were just meant to hurt her.

But when she thought that the child was also full of grievances, she quickly took out paper and pen and communicated directly in writing.

"Mother has never thought of you as a bad child. To her, you and she are the same. If you truly feel that you are bad, it is all my fault. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to be so malicious towards yourself."

"I've heard you say a lot of nice things, but it's a pity that I walked my way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses. My growth and my current strength are all due to myself. Even you, I found you first, but how come the moment you saw Pei Zhiyi, she was the only one in your heart and eyes?"

"No……"

"enough!"

Pei Zhinian directly took the paper and pen from the maid's hand, and looking at her confused face, he felt that it was not enough to vent his anger.

"You're too slow. I don't have the patience to listen to what you're saying."

Pei Zhinian curled his lips and smiled, then pushed the person in front of him to sit on the stool. "I've been looking for you everywhere, and now I come to you just to get something I want. My dear mother, you owe me so much, shouldn't you help me now? Help the poor child?"

The maid just looked at Pei Zhinian, and she knew what she wanted.

But she couldn't give it to her.

She shook her head. This was the first time she, as a mother, had rejected her daughter's request since they met.

"I really think you're stupid!"

Pei Zhinian sneered, "That place has betrayed you, that man has betrayed you, your other daughter doesn't recognize you, and none of your friends and relatives know where you are now... Only I, now only I know what kind of life you are living, and only I can lead you out of it, so why don't you give me that thing?"

The maid's eyes were red and she just shook her head.

"I just wanted something, but you wouldn't give it to me. So what's the point of your promise to compensate me?"

Pei Zhinian felt that this kind of maternal love was extremely ironic, but fortunately she had never had any illusions about her.

"I don't understand why you've been holding onto that useless thing. Is it because of your past identity? But those people betrayed you long ago. What's the point of you holding onto it? Why not give it to me? These things will be of great use to me."

The maid took a deep breath, her eyes became more determined, and she shook her head directly at Pei Zhinian.

That thing is very important to Liudao, and she cannot hand it over without permission for her own selfish reasons.

The maid gestured directly to Pei Zhinian and explained, "Niannian, it's not too late for you to turn back now. Mother knows that you must have recognized your sister, so why can't the two sisters join forces and move forward together? What's more, you are one. If you can join forces, you will naturally have what you want!"

"enough!"

Pei Zhinian simply overturned everything on the table to the ground, scaring the maid.

"In the end, you've been defending Pei Zhiyi in every sentence! In the end, you just think that I'm a bug in the dark, unworthy of standing in the light, and unworthy of owning that thing, right? You keep talking about morality, about the heavy responsibility, and about how there's no difference between me and Pei Zhiyi. You keep saying you're doing this for my own good! But! You can't even meet my most basic requirements. How can you be worthy of being a mother?"

"Since you are unwilling to give me that thing, I really can't force you."

Pei Zhinian's emotions subsided in an instant, as if the person who almost went crazy just now was not her.

"Mother, this is the last time I'll call you that." Pei Zhinian stroked the maid's face. Seeing her red eyes and heartbroken face, he found it ridiculous. "I've been wandering in the darkness for too long, so long that I can't even remember what it feels like to walk in the sun."

"Since you can't make a choice, then you don't have to make this choice."

"What do you want to do?"

(The conversation is conducted with gestures, so I won’t go into details)

"What do I want to do?" Pei Zhinian suddenly laughed out loud. "As a Saint of the God Clan, how could you not know what I want to do?"

"Niannian, don't do anything stupid!"

"Random?" Pei Zhinian grumbled. "From the moment you forcibly separated Pei Zhiyi and me for the sake of the Six Paths, from the moment you abandoned me, from the moment you chose to put responsibility above all else, from the moment I stumbled through life on my own until now, which of my actions haven't been reckless? In your eyes, everything I do is wrong, so what does it have to do with you if I'm reckless or not?"

"I've never thought of it that way..."

She had always felt guilty and even blamed Father God countless times. Why did her child have to endure all this?

But Father God never gave her an answer. Everyone was forcing her to make a choice, and she had no other choice in that situation.

She didn't even know that the wrong decision she made that time had put everything on an irreversible path, and everything was in chaos, leading to the irreversible outcome today.

"I know you hate me, but mother just wants to tell you that I only want to make it up to you and your sister."

"Then you should compensate me! I just need you to give me something. As long as you give it to me, I will regard it as compensation! But you are not willing to give me this, so what kind of compensation are you talking about? You are worthy of being a god, but you are so hypocritical and disgusting!"
