He did not answer Varimathras's question.
Lu Li rose from the stone platform and said directly, "I think that's enough for today. Let's leave it at that."
"Huh?!" Varimathras's eyes widened, and he immediately began to flounder. "Don't... I didn't mean to bring up something painful."
"And we still haven't reached a conclusion about the External Incarnation. Isn't it a little inappropriate to leave things unfinished like this?"
"You may report everything we discussed today to the Demon King." Lu Li remained unmoved.
"As for the External Incarnation, if you think I might leak it, you can report that directly to the Demon King as well."
"Just let him deal with me."
"Uh..." Varimathras did not know how to respond.
It seemed Li Yun had truly been reminded of something painful.
Otherwise, his attitude would not have changed so drastically!
Why had he been so quick with his mouth just now?
If he had not exposed Li Yun's painful past, perhaps there would still have been room to ease the atmosphere!
Unfortunately, no amount of regret could change anything now.
Li Yun, that old demon, was famous for keeping his word.
Since he had said they were done for the day, there was no way they could continue.
With a sigh, Varimathras stated, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what happened today."
"If you want to drink and chat, come find me anytime."
After saying that, he no longer lingered where he stood.
He gathered up the wine jug from the stone platform, said he was leaving, and departed Flower Willow Grace Court on his own.
Lu Li alone remained atop the stone platform, expressionless, as though pondering something.
