"It's also possible…" Sheng Tianze lowered his gaze to the girl, "that your parents and those Beastmen never died."
Jiang Xinli shot her head up from his embrace. "Really?!"
Sheng Tianze comforted her, "It's a possibility. So, Lili, don't be so sad."
"Ah Ze, you aren't just saying that to cheer me up, are you?" Jiang Xinli looked at the Light Computer on her wrist.
Sheng Tianze understood what she meant. "Prisoners exiled to the Dark Star are made to wear Light Computers that monitor their vitals, but ordinary interstellar citizens are not.
Besides, for some planets with independent governments, the way they're managed is completely up to the planet's Lord."
"Also, all we know is that at the time, 'you' supposedly teamed up with the Dark Beastmen to destroy an entire planet. But no one knows the specifics." Sheng Tianze's brow furrowed slightly. "Because whether it was you, us, or Xue Xi and the others, we were all just pawns in someone else's scheme."
