Regarding the Seed District of Holy Sound, Bai Wei wasn't ignorant; he simply lacked such a profound understanding.
In the game chapters of Holy Sound, players were unable to reach the Seed District. All information concerning the Seed District was fragmented, scattered amongst snippets of character dialogue and assorted noble documents, giving the players a vague understanding of the place.
Moreover, nearly every character hailing from the Seed District would mention the same sentiment—under no circumstances did they wish to return there.
But only now did Bai Wei truly grasp how significant that statement was.
Especially when that mad father was dragged away by a servant, and his daughter, whom he treated as a breeding object, stood dumbly in place, unclear whether she had yet to comprehend what had happened, or if she was numb to everything from having long ceased to care.
