Lai Mingjie didn't want to close his eyes. He was afraid that within that darkness would replay a scene that would haunt him as long as he lived. He would continue to see that serene expression on Xu Rouguang's face as his very image scattered like leaves blown away into the distance and into the void where he couldn't reach.
If Xu Rouguang didn't ascend, perhaps he was so sure where he could still find his wife. However, right now, when the souls were governed by the selfish dead gods; who knew when he would find Xu Rouguang again? If he would even find his wife again…?
His last meeting with Lai Julong had taught him something. He shouldn't probably hide from his family. Even if he could cover his emotions from the sights of everyone else around him, the eyes of his family would be more scrutinizing. It was because they hated his habit of hiding things.
Lai Julong didn't mind as he could see through him. Yu Shenqi and Xu Rouguang hated it all the more.
