Just as she was thinking, she heard her parents ask.
"By the way, we haven't asked yet. Where is Annie's father from? What's his Cultivation like? Which Sect is he a Cultivator of? Is he an Outer Disciple or a Core Disciple?"
'It seemed…'
'…her parents hadn't grasped the main point.'
'Nerida had called him The Exalted One. An ordinary person wouldn't be addressed like that.'
Celeste Grant choked when she heard this. But how was she supposed to explain it? That her child's father was the head of the Demonic Sects, a man the Seven Great Celestial Sects were clamoring to kill? Or that he was the world's number one Demon Cultivator, who supposedly enjoyed boasting about bashing in people's skulls?
'In fact, she had never seen him actually bash in anyone's skull. The small, carved skulls he made, on the other hand, were quite realistic.'
Celeste Grant gave a dry laugh. She looked at her parents and asked tentatively, "Um, is there any chance... that he's not from an Immortal Sect?"
