The old man spoke with such genuine emotion that, even though Long Long knew he was merely putting on a performance, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of compassion for a moment.
To go to such lengths for his clan, there truly wasn't anything to criticize.
Long Long had initially planned to scare him a bit more so that, even if the official envoy from the Xuan Gui Clan arrived later to inquire about Beiming Fanyang, the old man, shaken to the core, wouldn't dare confirm anything even if he sensed something was off.
However, upon witnessing the old man's vivid performance—tears flowing on cue—clearly seasoned and sly, Long Long realized there was no need for further warnings.
The Xuan Gui Clan exterminated your Dragon Louse Clan; do you think we, the Jiaolong Clan, couldn't do the same? With the old man's intelligence, he surely understood that if conflict erupted between the two clans, the Dragon Louse Clan, caught in the middle, would undoubtedly be the first to perish.
