Xue Yang walks over and settles into the seat next to him. "I know how. I've had to do a lot of it lately." He was stuck in isolation after he killed A-Qing and so he meditated a lot as well as the time he spent in the infirmary.

He adjusts his position so that he can meditate more comfortably, "I didn't kill anyone for years when we were in Yi City. I know it seems too late but I did stop after awhile."

When he realized that Xingchen's kindness was affecting him he stopped doing all those things that would eventually come back to haunt him.
