The dark alter ego was stunned upon hearing his father's words . His father knew what the sealed world was like, but only a sealed ego would know this—how did he know? Xie Yi was shocked as well . His father had chosen him because the former knew that he would never be able to survive in the sealed world .

“Both of you are my children and I can't bear to give up either . I am a selfish person . I want to give everything to my child, not just half the world, so I can only let you suffer . You are the best so you will definitely be stronger than the warm Xie Yi in the future .

“I picked the warm Xie Yi because I believe in his kindness and optimism . When he discovers your existence, he will not kill you—he will find a way to keep you and solve this problem . This is the one thing that you can never do . You are cold and logical, so you will always choose the best path for yourself . You will not take any risks and this is why I can't choose you . The secret technique of the Xie family seals the dark alter ego safely…”

Xie Ling reached out and caressed Xie Yi's forehead . “However, the kind and vibrant Xie Yi will let the devil in his heart appear easily . The seal will be destroyed, but I hope that during that time, you will be able to direct all your hate on me and live well together with the warm Xie Yi . I believe that the warm Xie Yi will be willing to do so as well . ”

Xie Ling gazed at Xie Yi remorsefully, merely sitting where he was in a daze for a few minutes . He only regained his senses when Xie Yi started crying, quickly hugging and coaxing him…

Ling Lan snapped her fingers and the scene in front of them disappeared . The next second, they were back in the sealed world .

“This is the truth? He sacrificed me so that he could live??” The dark alter ego looked cold and angry . He found it funny that his father had given him up to keep the weaker ego alive .

“In actual fact, your father understand the two of you very well . You're still alive . Although you're a little malicious, you aren't a lunatic yet,” Ling Lan said calmly .

“But why did I have to suffer for so many years because of him?” The dark alter ego sneered . He hated his father and Xie Yi even more now .

“You father said that it was because he wanted you two to be stronger,” Ling Lan explained .

“I will become stronger if he is alive? What a joke . ” The dark alter ego was unable to accept her explanation .

“You know that it's the truth . ” Ling Lan stared at the dark alter ego coldly . The dark alter ego was speechless .

“This point was proven when you worked together with Xie Yi just now . Your father must have been clear about this,” Ling Lan continued .

Xie Yi eyes started glowing and he interrupted Ling Lan . “Boss, do you mean that my father knew what would happen after the seal was broken?”

Ling Lan nodded . “Yes . My guess is that your father personally broke his own seal and interacted with the sealed ego . He probably worked together with his dark alter ego before, which is how he knew what the sealed world is like and what would happen after the seal is removed . Of course, there is another possibility . Your father might have come to know a little about it due to a good friend of his experiencing something similar .

“You might live a peaceful life without half of your ego and you could still advance quickly . However, removing half of yourself is the same as removing half of your talent—you'll never be able to reach the peak of your potential . Your father knows this so he wanted to give you both the chance of reaching the peak . That is why he chose the best path for you . He didn't care if other people misunderstood him . ”

Xie Yi was in a daze as he listened to Ling Lan . His face dimmed . “No wonder my father doesn't like to stay at home . I never noticed it the last time, but now that I think about it, he would always take the missions that no one wanted to take . The long, hard and dangerous missions…”

“That's because he's stupid . He brought it on himself,” the dark alter ego said angrily . If his father had chosen him at the start, he would not have needed to live such a hard life .

“Don't say bad things about my father,” Xie Yi yelled angrily . Xie Yi was brought up by his father and the latter had always loved him . Hence, he couldn't accept his dark alter ego saying bad things about his father . He pounced at the dark alter ego and the two of them broke into a fight, rolling back and forth on the sea .

Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and moved away from them .

Both of them harbored grudges against each other, so it would benefit them if they had a small fight now . Also, Ling Lan felt that boys should fight occasionally; it was a good way of improving their relations.h.i.+p . Xie Yi's egos were both guys so this rule would apply to them .

Xie Yi and the dark alter ego fought for almost half a day before finally getting tired . They lay on the floor together, panting .

Having calmed down, Xie Yi looked at the dark alter ego . He no longer hated or feared his dark alter ego . He opened his mouth and said, “I'm sorry! Thank you!”

The dark alter ego was stunned . He knew what these words meant .

Xie Yi continued, “Father was right . With my personality, I wouldn't have been able to survive a day in this world . I would definitely not have been able to survive for 16 years . ” He suddenly smiled . “If you were the main ego, I might not have been able to break through the seal for my entire life . There would have only been two endings for me—going crazy or disappearing totally . My endurance isn't as good as yours . ”

He was not as strong as Luo Lang either . If it was Luo Lang, he would be able to survive in any kind of environment . He had so many personalities inside his mind and every single one of them never gave up pestering and trying to control him . However, he still maintained his personality . He was optimistic and happy . On the other hand, he, Xie Yi, had only one dark alter ego . He would become frustrated, agitated, scared… he felt that he was quite weak . His father's concern was right .

Xie Yi was grateful to his father for all the things he had done . When he thought about this, he felt sorry towards the dark alter ego and was grateful to his dark alter ego as well . His dark alter ego had been sealed for 16 years, yet he still controlled his hatred and anger to work together with him .

The dark alter ego pouted with disdain . “It's good that you know . ”

He had been fighting Xie Yi for three years, so he knew what kind of person the latter was . Xie Yi would definitely not have been able to survive in this sealed world . Even if the seal was broken accidentally in the future, a crazy or dead Xie Yi would have been no threat to him . However, Xie Yi's boss was right too . Without Xie Yi, he would lose the chance to reach his full potential .
