Same! I like this arc too. Even though Xue Yang massacred that sect and killed the innocent, he was kind of pitiful from the start.
Also, his despiration to bring back Xiao Xingchen in vain, I think he fell in love with Xiao in 3 years they live like a family peacefuly.
I cried my heart out reading this in the novel
Is his own twisted way, yes I too think he loved xxc and their pretend family :" may he die in the most brutal way that sonova bitch （/TДT)/
Grab the tissues it's almost over ╥﹏╥
My heart hurts....like this arc then theres 2 other arcs that literally tear my heart from my chest. Its profound how well written these characters are. I've read the novel, the manhwa and the anime. I dunno if I can commit to the live action I mean 50 hours is a lot of time...........and I dunno if I can survive it either I think I might die from heartache
I literally cried for 2 hours reading this arc in the novel and promised myself not to go through the pain again and skip it in the Manhua, yet here I am doing exactly what I said I won't do :") ┗( T﹏T )┛
