Here, "without shame or worries" meant Shen Liqian would grant them the highest-grade cultivation, so neither would ever need to sever their cultivation again.
Not that it was much of a problem.
Even without that assurance, Shen Yiren and Shen Jixian severed their cultivations immediately out of respect for Shen Liqian.
Feeling the pain of their Spiritual Roots being severed from their Dantians and their Qi evaporating, Shen Yiren and Shen Jixian closed their eyes and gritted their teeth.
Shen Liqian watched, pleased.
He tucked the satisfaction behind a calm face.
Neither of them doubted him, and both severed their cultivation before he could finish speaking.
Dropping from the Sixth Stage of Qi Attunement must have been a shock for Shen Yiren, but he did it without hesitation.
Pride steadied Yiren more than pain.
When Shen Jixian opened his eyes, a fleeting sadness crossed his face.
Shen Liqian noticed it.
Shen Jixian looked down and clenched his hands.
