The more I wonder, the more I see that the plot is chaotic and the post-production is bad I don't remember if…
I think there are two reasons for the characters' reactions, since only a few of them knew the truth: the four demons and LJ. So far, we've only seen the reactions of LJ, Baize, and Hanba. One reason is that Wsg is not yet a complete dragon and cannot assume the role of dragon deity. Whereas JiLing was placed in that position by the original deity itself, until the next dragon could assume that post. So until then, they need to act this way. And the second point is that they have been together for years, while Wsg has just arrived. And we can't forget that Bai ze, even having a strong bond with JL, didn't think twice about giving the rest of the power to Wsg; Hanba should be next. The other two are already dead.

But the bond she created with WWY and JL is something totally different.
It's as if she could just be herself, almost a normal human, only with them.
