Summary
Wei Ying has many regrets in life: Uncle Jiang's adoption and favoritism on him leads to countless scars on his back, and a downtrodden childhood under Madam Yu's rage and Jiang Cheng's bitterness and jealousy in turn. Uncle Jiang never said a word as his wife gets any chance she gets, even somebody else's mistakes as an excuse to whip him. No amount of favoritism can cure abuse away.
He regretted Jin Zixuan's death in Qiongqi Pass when he lost control.
Shijie's death in Nightless City, trying to save him when he should have stayed home for her infant son whom he never saw.
Then Wen Qing and Wen Ning's pointless deaths, and the slaughter of the Wens.
And did A-Yuan survive the slaughter? His fever? He died before he did, he'll never know...
The power from the backlash that killed him was enough to plunge his soul backwards in time, to when he was a freshly-orphaned child. He remembers that he was five years old, and his parents will never come home.
'I'm five years old again...I have to act real quick.'
