Lu Ran stood silently in the air, watching the man in imperial robes laugh and weep.

This person must have had deep ties to his mother.

Otherwise, why would he react like this?

Listening to the imperial-robed man's choked laughter, Lu Ran could not help but feel a pang of sorrow. A Tian Realm Great Being's ability to influence the surrounding environment was simply too powerful.
