Scary!
Both Xu Rouguang and Lai Mingjie were shocked by their father's words. It wasn't that they hadn't thought of those, but they were scared that Lai Julong actually knew a lot. News from Heaven was prevented from leaking into the mortal realm, but a mayor of a small city actually knew that there was more than one primal demon.
Lai Mingjie only chuckled begrudgingly. He wanted to know what Lai Julong would say about the identity of the leading primal demon, but he was also scared of his reaction. Then again, he didn't like thinking... if he could pass it on to someone else, the better... right?
"The primal demon... is from the Imperial Xu bloodline... just like Rou. That's all that's confirmed about it." Lai Mingjie released the secret that Xu Rouguang was afraid of telling them. Then again, he wasn't there when Lai Mingjie came clean to his father. Even his father was the one who managed to go over these matters gently with Yu Shenqi.
"...No wonder you're keeping him away."
