His Ex-Wife's Future
Upon hearing his father's voice, Lu Zhengran immediately looked towards the stone pavilion and ran towards it.
"Father, did you call me?"
"Okay, sit down, let's talk." Lu Qing'an patted the chair next to him.
Lu Zhengran glanced at his father and obediently sat down next to him. He didn't know why, but he used to be too afraid to sit near his father during meals. However, after coming here, his mindset gradually changed, and he was no longer so afraid of his father!
Even though his father was stronger than before, he should have been more afraid of him, but he found that he seemed to have changed all of a sudden and was no longer so afraid of his father.
After he sat down, he glanced at Xiao Qingyi and Xue Tianfei sitting beside him and smiled and nodded at them.
Or is it because the two of them are here?
He especially liked Aunt Xue Tianfei. If his father really married Aunt Xue, he would definitely be able to easily call her "Mother".
Lu Qing'an put his hand on his son's shoulder and laughed, "I don't know if you've noticed, but you always cry on rainy days."
When Lu Qing'an placed his hand on his shoulder, Lu Zhengran paused slightly, then a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He thought about what his father had said for a moment, and before he realized it, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Oh! It seems that's really the case!" Lu Zhengran slapped his thigh, then quickly looked at his father and asked, "Dad, what's going on?"
He cried twice after he arrived here, both times in the rain.
It wasn't raining heavily when we were at the Demon Willow Academy.
Lu Qing'an had already done a simple test last time. His son's ability was related to the environment, not the natural environment, but to formations, barriers, and so on.
Without these restrictions, if my son cried, it would be like a torrential downpour.
Just like last time I cried here in the yard.
The rain at the Demon Willow Academy wasn't heavy; it was just a light drizzle. It's highly likely that there's a powerful formation inside the Demon Willow Academy, similar to a small barrier, that encloses a small area of the world, preventing much rain from condensing in the sky within that formation.
Lu Qing'an looked at his son and said, "I suspect you possess a special ability related to the weather."
"An ability?! Could it be the same ability as my sister?!" He had only just learned that his sister possessed this strange, unheard-of ability to eat emotions.
He was overjoyed to hear that he might also possess special abilities.
My talent is indeed lacking; if I had a special ability, perhaps I could make up for this deficiency!
Lu Qing'an nodded slightly and said, "However, I'm not entirely sure what your ability is, so I need your cooperation to verify it."
"Okay! Okay! I'll do whatever Dad tells me to do!!" Lu Zhengran filled with excitement, his eyes fixed intently on his father.
Lu Qing'an said, "Then try to cry."
"But, Dad, I don't know how to cry for no reason." Lu Zhengran scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.
I cried last time because I was feeling down.
My relationship with my family has improved, and I'm so happy now, why should I cry?
"If your ability is related to crying, then if you want to master this ability in the future, you must control your emotions and let yourself cry when you can. So, this is also a kind of training."
Lu Qing'an patted his son's shoulder again.
It's not only when you're feeling down that you can cry; good actors can cry whenever they want.
"If all else fails, try thinking about something that's making you feel bad," Xue Tianfei suggested with a smile.
"Something upsetting?" Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengran thought carefully for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll give it a try!"
He closed his eyes and began to imagine something.
He imagined his mother knowing that his father was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, and that he had left the Immortal Ruins for a better future, leaving his mother to live a lonely and helpless life, her Dao heart shattered, turning her into a madwoman...
After thinking about it for a while, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
A feeling of discomfort instantly swept over his heart and then spread throughout his body.
Tick-tock!
Two tears welled up in Lu Zhengran's eyes, and then, as if a dried-up spring had been suddenly activated, the tears flowed out in torrents.
The more he imagined what would happen to his mother, the more suffocating the pain in his heart became.
Xiao Qingyi and Xue Tianfei were stunned by Lu Zhengran's behavior.
This child!
It's because of their good acting skills!
Or are you really feeling unwell?!
When Lu Qing'an saw his son burst into tears like a child, tears streaming down his face, he blinked.
This kid seems to have some talent!
He then glanced at the sky.
Just as Lu Zhengran's tears slid down his cheeks, the once clear sky suddenly changed color!
Thick, dark clouds rolled and gathered like ink, instantly obscuring the sunlight and plunging the entire courtyard into darkness!
Thunder roared, and blinding lightning tore through the clouds, sounding like the roar of a giant dragon.
Immediately afterwards, large raindrops pounded down violently, making a crackling sound, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a torrential downpour!
Rainwater washed over the eaves of the stone pavilion, splashing countless silver beads on the bluestone slabs, and the plants and trees in the courtyard swayed violently in the wind and rain.
Xiao Qingyi and Xue Tianfei watched this scene with some surprise. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and all that remained in the world was a white mist and deafening thunder.
Lu Qing'an's gaze was intense, and a slight smile played on his lips.
This further confirmed his suspicions.
Lu Zhengran was still crying, and he couldn't stop.
Lu Qing'an took the opportunity to test it again, using a barrier to enclose the stone pavilion.
The next moment, the heavy rain suddenly stopped!
The dark clouds were there, but they were slowly drifting away in all directions.
As he quickly dispelled the barrier, the thick clouds gathered again, and the heavy rain poured down once more.
"Alright, it's definitely related to crying. Zhengran, you can stop now." Lu Qing'an patted his son's shoulder.
"Father, I... I can't stop, my heart is aching so much..." Lu Zhengran cried.
Lu Qing'an didn't rush his son, letting him adjust gradually.
It took about half an incense stick's time for Lu Zhengran to finally stop.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself," Lu Zhengran said, his eyes red.
"Child, why are you crying?" Xiao Qingyi asked.
Lu Zhengran said, "I thought about my mother..."
He stopped abruptly, glancing shyly at Xue Tianfei.
Xue Tianfei is here; he shouldn't bring up this topic.
Lu Qing'an realized something and rubbed his son's head.
"You're a good child, but you don't need to worry about your mother. I know her better than you do. Once she's made up her mind, she won't change it. No amount of pressure can break her before she achieves her goal."
This is also why he resolutely left his ex-wife after learning that she had chosen someone with more power.
When his ex-wife finds out he is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, she will probably be surprised for a moment, and then she will continue to devote herself to her planned career.
