As for the child's own stance and choice, what kind of stance can a child this young possibly have?
On the other hand, the Federation would also consider Mengdie's personal circumstances, but that's just one factor among many. Given Feng Yi's highly exceptional identity and status, having the child of such a national hero grow up abroad and become a foreigner—it simply isn't reasonable. Not only would public opinion reject it, but the Federation's citizens would not approve either, and the authorities certainly wouldn't stand idly by. Hence, while the Federation sent this congratulatory message as a gesture of goodwill, it also carried a thinly-veiled warning to Jade Clear Sect: The child can stay with you for now, but there's a shelf life to this arrangement. Once the child grows older, things may not go as smoothly.
