[He doesn't expect forgiveness or gratitude. Helping him on this matter doesn't even have to do with soothing Jin Guangyao's anguish. No, it's about respecting and honoring Qin Su in death after his failure to do so in life.

I know the feeling.

I'll be taking an extended leave of absence from my position. I intend to leave the Unclean Realm to my brother. It belongs to him by right. There is little need for my presence or involvement in its matters at this point.

[The more distance he has from Jin Guangyao's little romance with the younger Nie Mingjue and Lan Xichen in this world, the more peaceful their stay on the island will be.]
