As they watched Xu Tong display his mysterious methods,
Nuwa and Houtu both grew solemn.
At this moment, they truly regarded Xu Tong as an expert on their own level.
They no longer merely thought him somewhat mysterious, as they had before.
Nuwa let out a long breath, then looked at Xu Tong and slowly spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, do you know why the two of us have come?"
Houtu likewise remained silent beside her, watching Xu Tong to see how he would answer.
Nuwa's question might well have been a test of Xu Tong.
This was the final probe she wanted to make.
"Empress Nuwa, Empress Houtu, I imagine you have come because of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Race."
"Heaven and earth have changed. Have Dijiang and the others still not given up?"
Those two sentences made both Nuwa and Houtu jolt.
Tongtian really does know why we came!
The two women exchanged a glance, each seeing shock in the other's eyes.
Watching their reactions, Xu Tong struggled to suppress his amusement.
He had long since learned through the system what these two had come to ask of him.
Their question had truly walked straight into his line of fire.
When neither spoke, Xu Tong did not hurry them.
He simply watched them, putting on an unfathomable air.
Nuwa drew a deep breath and asked Xu Tong, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I would like to know whether there is any way to resolve this."
Hearing her words, Xu Tong understood.
So this is what Nuwa wanted to ask about. No wonder she looked so worried earlier.
True enough. Anyone who knew their elder brother would one day be trapped somewhere like a puppet would hardly be happy.
But how did she find out about this?
