Zichen himself is surprised he is able to speak again. It will take a while for him to get used to it, he felt stiff and unused to it. He felt more alive than ever before. He wasn't angry. The years of bitterness is gone. While he doesn't get the final blow at Xue Yang to obtain the revenge he's seeking, he couldn't as his puppet, that doesn't matter now. What matters is that he is here and able to speak to him after all of these years.

"Mn. You're okay." That's a start. Feeling that he accepted him, he felt more settled and grounded. The questions as to how he is here and what is happening and why will come later.

Raising an eyebrow, he did take a look. "I see nothing? There are no corpses around here. Maybe there are spirits here. But if there are close-by, I have fuxue with me."
