What a terrifying atmosphere!!!

He had never seen such a powerful monster.

Could it be that the guardian beast of the Demon Willow Academy?!

Is this the foundation of the strongest academy in the Demon Realm?!

The guardian beast of Qingshan Academy is just a little brother in front of this giant dragon!

However, the guardian beast of Qingshan Academy was not as strong as this giant dragon, and he did not dare to approach the guardian beast of Qingshan Academy... After all, it was a monster at the peak of the Great Emperor realm, and it would eat people without leaving any bones.

"This little loach, what is he doing here..."

Lu Qingan muttered.

He could sense Liu Xiyue appearing over there at this moment and stopping the Nether Bone Dragon.

"Little loach?"

Lu Zhengran vaguely heard what Lu Qingan said and turned to look at Lu Qingan.

Lu Qing'an ignored his son and looked at Xu Xuanyu: "Go and fix the chain."

Xu Xuanyu guessed something when he heard this, and nodded with a smile: "Then I'll go fix the chain!"

After talking to Lu Zhengran for a while, he went to the Time Demon Willow not far away, and finally entered the time treasure.

"Dad! Is that the passage leading to the time treasure?!" Lu Zhengran asked with a look of longing on his face.

Lu Qingan nodded and said, "I'll ask their vice president to get you a token later. During your time in the Demon Realm, you can go there to repair your chain when you have time."

"Really?! Thank you, Dad!!!" Lu Zhengran was overjoyed.

Lu Qing'an nodded calmly, and then prepared to find Lu Qingxu to register his son's identity like the previous two times.

But at this moment, Lu Zhengran lowered his head, twisted his fingertips together nervously, and stammered.

"Dad...I have something to tell you..."

He seemed to be waiting for the time when he could be alone with his mother.

Lu Qing'an paused and looked, noticing his son's thin shoulders trembling slightly, like a withered leaf about to fall in the autumn wind. He said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Lu Zhengran's eyes suddenly turned red, like apricot blossoms soaked in the spring tide. Even his eyelashes were wet, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Dad...I want to apologize to you..."

During this time, he has been thinking about one thing.

His mother's enthronement was too sudden, and what happened afterwards was beyond his control.

He just followed his heart and made a choice.

After a long while, he thought about it carefully for a long time.

"I know I'm stupid. You used to supervise me strictly while I was repairing my chain, which made me work harder. Part of the reason was because I'm a boy, and part of the reason was because I'm stupid. I also know you did it for my own good, but I... I still feel like you put too much pressure on me, so every time I see you, I feel a little uncomfortable..."

At this point, a tear silently fell from Lu Zhengran's eyes, which startled him, and he wiped it away hurriedly.

Because my father said that boys don’t shed tears easily.

"I don't hate you, nor do I not love you, it's just..." As Lu Zhengran spoke, the discomfort that had been squeezing in his heart for a while made him choke up slightly. In order to control himself, he dug his nails deep into his palms.

He really didn't hate his mother, he just didn't know what to do, and was a little afraid of being with her...

Lu Qing'an reached out and touched Lu Zhengran's head: "Okay, stop talking, Dad has never blamed you."

The son obviously felt guilty about the choice he made at that time.

In fact, the child is not wrong.

"Dad, I really didn't think too much at the time! I didn't expect things to turn out like this... I just thought that you and Mom might just be separated for a short time, and I would be able to see you when I wanted to... I never thought you were from the Demon Realm..."

The more he spoke, the more Lu Zhengran could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and tears rolled down his eyes like beads with broken strings.

He still wiped it hastily, trying hard to hide his vulnerability and not wanting to show it in front of his mother.

Lu Qing'an sighed, tightened his arms, and gently pulled his son to him.

"Silly child, it's okay, cry."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengran, who was embraced in his arms, could no longer hold back.

He began to tremble violently, like a fledgling drenched by a rainstorm, tears gushing out of his eyes helplessly as he cried loudly.

"Dad! I really miss you..."

Lu Qing'an looked down at the crying child. Suddenly, a light rain began to fall from the sky. He suddenly remembered that rainy night in late winter many years ago.

Because the little child was too playful to keep up with his sword training, his sister passed the test, but he didn't. Heartbroken and scolded again, he sneaked out of the house and practiced sword moves over and over in the back mountains, tears still lingering on his red, frost-bitten cheeks...

"From now on, Dad will no longer ask you to repair the chain strictly..." Lu Qing'an patted the child's back.
