I love it XD

lol I had not even put this together till you said it but it's so true 🤣

Aside from the possibility you've listed, the reason could be just that they both have official positions in their sect hence always dress in uniform? I think the dad's robes may have been purple too...

Not yet, only that there is a “mask of 1000 faces” floating around that lets people change their face

That little thumbs up at the end from Sword King 🤣 love them all

With her saying "it's not so bad you need to kill yourself to avoid it", sounds like it's not death for Bro either, so he could well also cause plenty of problems later too o.o

He doesn’t yet know ML isn’t crippled in martial arts so his reaction when he learns remains to be seen 😅

Agree, it’s nice to be nice but not that nice. They’ve both surely got to see that as an adopted kid there wouldn’t really be any strengthening of the alliance between families anyway.

I would say there are signs pointing to that he may. He’s basically got principles, but doesn’t see the value in upholding them since his parents did but the people they helped didn’t remember their kindness, but he hasn’t yet gotten to the point of having worn the corners of his concience so it doesn’t poke him at all when he does what he knows he shouldn’t— he just is ignoring it for now and liking the world and himself less and less. There’s still hope for him but only if he realises that it’s his own job to love live his own life and as long as he’s upholding his principles it doesn’t matter how others see him. While his main goal in life is chasing being accepted by others or wealth he will remain pretty miserable and hypocritical all round 😅 I hope he can grow but I also hope he’s punched in the face 😂

The ambiguous thing there is it’s cycle— Xiao sect murdered his sect unjustly, so he murdered them. Since he personally saw them do it the most that can be revealed is that the Xiao family was tricked into doing it, so those deaths make sense for him to want. Fang’s death and the monks death are less justified, he’d been poisoned though by Phoenix when he met Fang so took him as a threat, and the monks he was tricked into killing because he blindly followed fake LCZ orders, but he didn’t do the actual deed and the mastermind wasnt him. His main problem is he has no moral compass and no respect for any life not even his own with the whole “you saved me so if you don’t want me anymore I’d rather just die”. Only once he realises life has value will he have any kind of growth there I feel.

😂😂😂

If he did say it I’d read it as more of a “any feelings make you a potential weakness able to be exploited so I’ll weed it out early” than a “you must only love me even if I care more about my soup than your life” vibe. 👀

I like that too— that justice & a proper burial for the parents is important, but protecting the living matters more than avenging the dead. #Priorities.

Most likely, especially with LCZ saying the mask was supposedly destroyed but he always had his doubts makes it sound like they’ve been foes for a while…

As of now there’s still no bodies— the assumption is that XQS went to sword manor first, then back to the main mansion (where the monks died) second after failing to find his parents hence why the prince is there before him, and that upon seeing the token only his dad carried and that his dad would never have parted with except death he concluded that they were dead and that LSF killed them, but all is offscreen and as of ep24 they’ve not yet found the bodies, though the bad guys are saying they did die.

does anyone not is the better question 😂🤣🤣

The beginning, we can only credit it to Dad holding the purse strings and (based on his own wardrobe choices) believing more in donations to the poor than funding extravagant and extensive changes of clothes, luckily XQS had his sword brothers + lots of bank notes from Mother even back then 🤣

😂😂😂

agree, I also wonder what his purpose is…

Love Jiao Liqiao, she's crazy but crazy beautiful as well.
