Xingchen's voice is soft as he confirms it. He can't see the look on his soulmate's face, but he can imagine it. He can hear the confusion in his voice. And he has every right to it. If their roles were reversed, and he found Zichen holding hands with another man, -protecting- a known murderer when they'd made vows to themselves and each other to do only good for the world-
"Xue Yang has become a different man here. He's trying to atone for the wrong that he's done. Bring balance and do good for the world." Xingchen's voice still hasn't steadied, and there's a note of pleading to it as he speaks. "Zichen...I only wanted to honor your wish. I knew that seeing me again would only bring you pain. I thought that coming here was meant to be."
