Eldest Brother-in-Law's Probe

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was heavy.

The relaxed and carefree look on Fuxi's face had long since vanished, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and a trace of disbelief and shock.

His fingers unconsciously began to calculate, the Bagua runes subtly appearing around him spinning faster and faster, attempting to capture even the slightest trace from the thoroughly disrupted Heavenly Secrets. But it was all in vain, only confirming what Nuwa had said—the Heavenly Secrets were indeed obscured by a higher power.

"Inner thoughts... future Heavenly Secrets... Sage... Calamity..."

Fuxi murmured to himself.

If this hadn't come from the mouth of his most trusted sister, and if it hadn't been corroborated by the disruption and shielding of the Heavenly Secrets, he would have dismissed it as utter nonsense.

"Brother, I didn't believe it at first either,"

Nuwa sighed softly, her beautiful eyes shimmering with complex emotions.

"But what he said, about the Sun Star, the Three Clans, the Golden Crows, the Demon Race, it's all come true. I can't help but ponder."

Fuxi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He was a top-tier deduction master in the Great Desolation, deeply aware of the unfathomable nature of Heavenly Secrets.

But he also firmly believed that everything had its traces.

The appearance of someone who could see the future was the biggest variable.

"Little sister, this matter is too world-shattering."

Fuxi said solemnly.

"The shielding technique you mentioned, even I cannot see through it. This child's origins are definitely no less than yours or mine, perhaps even stronger. Are the futures he spoke of in his inner thoughts inevitable, or changeable? Did he reveal these things intentionally or unintentionally? What is his purpose? We know nothing about any of this."

Nuwa nodded.

"I have the same concerns. But regardless, Qing Xuan has shown no malice. Instead... he seems to be warning me. Furthermore, by accepting him as my disciple, our destinies are already intertwined. He is my disciple, no matter what."

A sharp glint flashed in Fuxi's eyes. His sister's reaction was a little unusual.

"Hearing is not as good as seeing. Since he has already joined your tutelage, he is a junior to both of us. As his Martial Uncle, it is only appropriate for me to 'test' my new Martial Nephew's cultivation and origins, isn't it?"

Nuwa immediately understood Fuxi's intention—to test him.

She frowned slightly.

"Brother, he is only a Heavenly Immortal, and..."

"Don't worry."

Fuxi interrupted her, a hint of his usual composure returning to his face, though a deeper layer of scrutiny lay in his eyes.

"I know my limits. It's just that if he can truly glimpse the Heavenly Secrets as you say, then he should have some special reaction in my presence, shouldn't he?"

Nuwa pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.

She also wanted to see what Qing Xuan's inner thoughts would reveal when facing Fuxi.

This was crucial for judging the truth and value of his inner thoughts.

"Alright, but be natural about it. Don't let him sense anything unusual."

"Naturally."

Meanwhile, Qing Xuan was leisurely strolling through the blessed land with the chubby young attendant, Zhi Tong.

Zhi Tong, having attained enlightenment as a plant spirit, wasn't exceptionally intelligent but was simple and enthusiastic. He chattered away, introducing Qing Xuan to the various sights.

"Martial Brother Qing Xuan, look, that's the Empress's favorite Seven-Colored Lotus Pond. The lotus flowers bloom once every three thousand years, and the lotus seeds are delicious!"

"Over there is the Alchemy Room, but the Empress rarely uses it. Great Lord Fuxi occasionally comes here to tinker with formations and elixirs..."

"And those stone chambers on the mountain cliff, some are said to be naturally formed, while others were opened by the Empress and Great Lord Fuxi during their early cultivation. Sometimes, you can even find insights they left behind!"

Qing Xuan listened with great interest, nodding inwardly.

Not bad, not bad. This place gets more comfortable the more I look at it. Abundant spiritual energy, beautiful scenery, and a natural air conditioner, holographic projection, background music—it's simply top-tier luxury housing.

Lying here like a salted fish, my lifespan could automatically extend by several Yuan Cycles.

It's a shame there are so few people. Besides my master and the brother-in-law, there's only this little attendant. Not even a maid to serve tea. Sigh, I hope those Phoenix Race young ladies can get back to work soon.

Just then, a gentle voice sounded from behind him.

"It seems my little martial nephew is quite satisfied with this dojo?"

Qing Xuan turned around and saw Fuxi, who had appeared silently at some point, looking at him with a smile.

He wore a black and white daoist robe, exuding a refined aura, and seemed to be enveloped in a profound and mysterious energy that naturally inspired goodwill.

"Disciple Qing Xuan pays his respects to Martial Uncle."

Qing Xuan bowed.

This was the future Heavenly Emperor Fuxi. Although he would be offline for a while, his background was formidable—the brother of a Sage, and the future brother-in-law. Politeness was a must.

"No need for such formalities."

Fuxi gently supported him, his smile warm.

"I just heard from my little sister that she has taken in a new disciple with extraordinary roots and innate dao charm, so I came to see. Indeed, you are a remarkable young man."

[Here he comes, the big brother-in-law's mutual praise. But speaking of which, Fuxi was quite handsome when he was young, with a good temperament. Unfortunately, he was later fooled and even screwed over his own sister.]

Nuwa also walked over slowly at this time, standing a little further away, seemingly appreciating the scenery, but actually paying full attention.

The corner of Nuwa's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Fooled? Screwed him over?

"Martial Nephew, you are new here. How do you feel about this place? Does it meet your expectations?"

Qing Xuan replied respectfully.

"Reporting to Martial Uncle, my Master's dojo is blessed with spiritual energy and outstanding features, a rare immortal dwelling in the world. It is a great fortune for me to be able to cultivate here."

[More than meets expectations, it's a dream home! Currently, there are only two owners, but the supporting facilities haven't caught up yet. Once the Phoenix Race troupe moves in, it will be perfect.]

Dream home? Property management? Owners? Troupe? What kind of words are in this unfilial disciple's head!

Fuxi decided to stop beating around the bush and get to the point: "I'm glad you like it, Martial Nephew. I see that although your cultivation is only at the Heavenly Immortal stage, your foundation is incredibly solid, and your Dao rhythm is profound, which is truly rare. What are your thoughts on the current great trend of the Great Desolation?"

His gaze seemed casual, but he had secretly activated his deduction techniques. A trace of extremely subtle probing power enveloped Qing Xuan, while he carefully sensed any fluctuations in the surrounding Heavenly Secrets and Dao rhythm.

Qing Xuan was stunned.

[What's going on? The big brother-in-law is testing me on international affairs right off the bat? I just took human form, this question is beyond the scope!]

[Is this a traditional post-apprenticeship project? But Master didn't ask.]

He feigned a thoughtful expression and replied cautiously.

"Martial Uncle flatters me. My cultivation is low, and my knowledge is shallow. How dare I arbitrarily discuss the great trend of the Great Desolation."

Thoughts? My thoughts are that the Three Clans are all foolish idiots, fighting to the death to pave the way for others. The Dao-Demon Conflict is almost over, right?

[Luohu is about to drag the Three Clans down with him, and Hongjun is probably already picking up treasures and waiting to take the credit.]

[Then comes the Zixiao Palace Grand Lecture, where Master and big brother-in-law will get front-row seats, and then... alas, your tragic fate is about to begin, big brother-in-law.]

Buzz!

Nuwa felt her mind tremble violently!

The words in Qing Xuan's heart, like streaks of thunder, exploded deep within Nuwa's Dao heart!
