Your Son Is the Blemish on Your Life

Lu Zhengran stared blankly at Xiao Qingyi, now completely convinced that Xiao Qingyi was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor.

He heard some news while he was at the Green Mountain Academy.

It is said that after the Eternal Night Demon Emperor emerged from seclusion, he immediately went to refine the Demon God Mother Tree!

Now, everything has been confirmed!!

"This junior greets Senior Eternal Night Demon Emperor!" Lu Zhengran quickly stood up and bowed to Xiao Qingyi again.

This gesture immediately silenced the surroundings.

The atmosphere instantly took an indescribable turn.

Xiao Qingyi blinked and quickly looked at Lu Qing'an.

What's going on here???

Xu Xuanyu couldn't help but laugh.

Zhengran, you silly child! You've mistaken Elder Xiao for the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!

What were you thinking?!

My idol, the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, actually looks like this?!

Xiao Qingyi quickly sent a telepathic message to Lu Qing'an, asking, "This child, doesn't he know you're the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?"

Lu Qing'an nodded helplessly.

Xiao Qingyi couldn't help but chuckle and continued to transmit his voice, "Then I'll tease this kid a bit, haha."

He suddenly became interested.

Since he's been mistaken for the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, then I'll take that role for once!

Let's see when this kid realizes what's happening!

Lu Qing'an remained silent.

Seeing that Lu Qing'an remained silent, Xiao Qingyi, based on his understanding of Lu Qing'an, took this as tacit approval.

"Ahem, it seems you've recognized me. Not bad, not bad." Xiao Qingyi cleared his throat and spoke in a deliberately deep voice.

Lu Zhengran's face was filled with an innocent smile, "The moment I saw you, senior, I could tell that your cultivation aura was extremely powerful and profound! Moreover, my father said that this is your courtyard, so you must be the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Qing'an secretly shook his head.

This silly child...

He really wanted to see how long it would take his son to realize what was happening.

When his son was young, he noticed that his son seemed to be a step behind his eldest daughter in terms of reaction. As he grew older, the child seemed to become even more slow-witted and his talents were far inferior to those of his eldest daughter.

This is one of the reasons why he encouraged his son to work harder in his cultivation from a young age.

If you lack intelligence, make up for it with ability.

They are countless times stronger than others, and no matter what underhanded tricks others use, they can defeat them with sheer force.

This is a summary of his experience over many years.

Now, after experiencing so much, he has changed his mind. He will not be too strict with his son's cultivation in the future, but will try his best to let his son experience more of the dangers of society so that he can become smarter.

The child's cultivation level is insufficient; his job is simply to protect the children.

After all, he was already invincible.

This is also why he let Xiao Qingyi tease his son and why he didn't directly tell his son his true identity.

If this child stays in the Demon Domain in the future, then let the child experience Demon Domain dangers as much as possible.

"Hmm, do you think there's any difference between the image I have and the one you've heard about me?" Xiao Qingyi asked with a smile.

Lu Zhengran blinked, thinking to himself, "There are discrepancies."

After all, Xiao Qingyi was obviously old and ugly. However, he wasn't stupid; saying such things would easily anger this senior!

"A little, but not much!"

"Oh! Looks like I do have the aura of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!" Xiao Qingyi smugly said, glancing at Wang Duanshan and Lu Qing'an before puffing out his chest.

Wang Duanshan and Lu Qing'an were both speechless.

"Senior! Can I ask you for a favor?" Lu Zhengran grinned and asked excitedly.

"Oh? What kind of help?"

"I have a younger brother who wants your portrait! An autograph would be even better!"

"Ahem! This is easy!" Xiao Qingyi waved his hand, and a piece of paper flew out of his storage ring.

Under the influence of Demonic Qi, he drew his own likeness and even branded the words "Eternal Night Demon Emperor" onto it.

"Thank you very much, senior!!" Lu Zhengran took a close look and accepted the item with satisfaction.

Now I can explain this to my underling!

"Senior, can you tell me about you and my father? My father said you two grew up wearing the same pair of pants, is that true?" Lu Zhengran stared intently at Xiao Qingyi with his big eyes full of anticipation.

Xiao Qingyi glanced at Lu Qing'an.

Good grief, you're teasing your own son too?

However, that statement doesn't seem to be wrong!

Lu Qing'an and the Eternal Night Demon Emperor really did grow up wearing the same pair of pants...

"Then I'll have to tell you how your father and I met!" Xiao Qingyi immediately started making up a story for Lu Zhengran.

They created a story about two people who grew up together in a small village, depended on each other for survival, were like brothers, and supported each other in cultivating to their current level.

Lu Qing'an and the others listened to this clumsy story in complete silence.

This story has too many plot holes!

"That's not right, senior!" Lu Zhengran suddenly frowned and interjected.

Lu Qing'an and Xu Xuanyu both raised their eyebrows when they saw that Lu Zhengran seemed to have discovered the problem.

Has this silly kid finally figured out the problem?

Xiao Qingyi: "What's wrong with it?"

Lu Zhengran: "You grew up with my father, so why do you look so old while my father looks so young? Of course, I'm not saying anything bad about you..."

Xiao Qingyi blinked, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let me put it this way, I personally like this mature and steady style! As for my real age, it's the same as your father's. I am the Eternal Night Demon Emperor. How could I look like your father, who doesn't seem mature enough? So, I deliberately made myself look like this, without using cultivation to stabilize my appearance. Besides, the strong don't care about appearance! Only strength is king!"

Lu Qing'an: "..."

Even though Xu Xuanyu felt he was a professional, he couldn't help but laugh.

Elder Xiao, you're lying to the children!

That's such a lie!

"I see!!"

Just when Xu Xuanyu and He Hong thought that Xiao Qingyi definitely couldn't fool Lu Zhengran, Lu Zhengran suddenly clapped his hands.

Lu Qing'an: "..."

Xu Xuanyu's smile vanished instantly.

Zhengran not! You believed that?!

"Senior is absolutely right! You truly are exceptional! The strong don't care about appearances, only about strength! My teacher also said that one must focus solely on martial arts and disregard external things to become stronger!! So that's what it means!!!"

Lu Zhengran looked at Xiao Qingyi with a look of sudden enlightenment, his gaze filled with respect.

This is one of the reasons why the Eternal Night Demon Emperor could become so powerful!!

Silence reigned all around.

Lu Qing'an shook his head and sighed.

Fortunately, I have three alt accounts.

It's no big deal to lose an account.

Zhengran, from now on, Dad won't be so strict with you. Just be a good child...

Xiao Qingyi had thought that his hastily crafted words would be easy to find fault with, but seeing that Lu Zhengran completely believed him, he swallowed hard and glanced at Lu Qing'an.

That look seemed to say, "So, the only flaw in the perfect you is your son..."

"Senior, I have another question for you!" At this moment, Lu Zhengran seemed to remember something and said with a smile.

"Go ahead and ask..."

Xiao Qingyi even felt a little guilty.

I feel guilty for deceiving this innocent child.

"Has my sister already broken through to the Body Integration Realm?"

Some time ago, he heard his older sister say that she had already broken through to the Body Integration Realm, which he found impossible.

Now that he's discovered his sister has been living with the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, he has to rethink this issue!

And now, the Eternal Night Demon Emperor is right here; he can just ask him directly!

Surely the Eternal Night Demon Emperor wouldn't lie to a child like him?

Xiao Qingyi shook his head decisively.

Your sister is already at the peak of the Mahayana stage, almost at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

Seeing Lu Zhengran understood.

Really!

My sister lied!

Hehe! When my sister comes back, she'll be so surprised to see my cultivation level!
