A lump in his throat forms as that hand reveals a candy. The one thing this world had given him upon arriving on the train...was the last piece of candy Xingchen ever gave him. He still carries it with him wherever he goes. The world could have given him anything..he could have had Jiangzai by his side from the start. But no...that little piece of candy was what it felt he needed the most. The significance of that is not lost on him, particularly at this moment.

He bends down to set the sword on the ground. He didn't want to be armed in front of Xingchen. Not if the man is choosing to put some trust in him. He knows that he can't see the action but he will certainly hear it. The blind daozhang has always been able to manage fine with just his other senses.

"After what I did, why would you ever want to hear from me again?"

Xue Yang is woefully aware that his actions are what lead Xingchen to take his life. And that painful reminder was brought up in his nightmares after being attacked by Wester. He doesn't question it now that he has regrets.

But he is walking forward, slowly so as to not make the man nervous. And reaching out he plucks the candy from the man's hand. He isn't going to eat it. Because he might need to keep it as a memento again in the future.
