Xu Rouguang was left thinking while Lai Mingjie took his teacup and drank down the tea. He'd just let him think that he let Liu Xia's father leave unscathed... even if the real reason he didn't die was that Emodao didn't hunt him down personally.
Deserters were sinners in every army, and the demons leaving Emodao's army were no exceptions. If they wanted to leave, the only way was to die. The other demons chased and sought that demon father, but his wife was a powerful descendant of immortals. She managed to smuggle her husband and her child out of Emodao's reach. Since it wasn't worth the hunt, Emodao didn't issue an order to track them down further.
Then a thought crossed Xu Rouguang's mind. He then hummed. "Jie? What about you though? Weren't you like her?"
