My Brother-in-Law Was Actually My Idol

Xu Xuanyu was stunned by a single sentence from his second sister.

The Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!

He was actually the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!

How was that possible?!

The Eternal Night Demon Emperor wasn't just a renowned figure in the Demon Domain. He was a terrifying existence whose fame thundered across the entire Cangyun Continent!

The brother-in-law he had always looked down on was actually the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!!

She had to be joking!

This joke had gone too far!!

But as he looked at the sound transmission jade slip, from which not another sound came, he was certain that the person speaking to him was his second sister. He fell even more silent.

He had grown up with her and knew very well that she didn't like to lie.

It really might be true!

Even so, reason kept him silent for quite a while before he voiced his doubts. "Second Sister, you... you're pulling my leg, aren't you..."

Xu Yunyi understood completely when her younger brother took so long to react, only for his first words to be a question of disbelief.

When she had first learned that her brother-in-law was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, the shock had made her scalp go numb, and she had felt as though the heavens had played an enormous joke on her.

After all, she had heard stories about the Eternal Night Demon Emperor since childhood and had even admired that powerful man a little...

"Little Brother, when have I ever lied to you? Besides, think about it. Why did I have so much faith in Brother-in-Law before he even converted my cultivation? Because I already knew he was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor."

Hearing this, Xu Xuanyu hurriedly said, "Then why didn't you tell Eldest Sister as soon as you found out? Maybe so many things wouldn't have happened before!"

"Are you stupid? Think about it. What would happen if Eldest Sister found out that Brother-in-Law was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor? They've already divorced, and Brother-in-Law no longer has any lingering feelings for her. What if her Dao heart shattered?! That's why I told you to keep it from her!"

Xu Xuanyu fell silent.

That was indeed true!

Their eldest sister possessed the Immaculate Emperor Position, but she would have to cultivate to the very peak before she could catch up to the Eternal Night Demon Emperor.

If she found out now that the man she used to be with was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, then...

"Second Sister, I still can't quite accept this. How can he be the Eternal Night Demon Emperor..." Xu Xuanyu still couldn't connect Lu Qing'an with the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, whose name he had heard countless times since childhood.

One was a man who seemed especially gentle to everyone and gave the impression of someone who drifted through life without accomplishing anything. The other was the Demon Domain's strongest, most invincible, supreme god of slaughter.

How could they be the same person?!

This was too surreal!!

Besides, he had idolized the Eternal Night Demon Emperor since he was a child!

Even now, he still held the Eternal Night Demon Emperor up as his role model!

Every time he cultivated, he imagined that one day he too would be invincible across the Cangyun Continent and catch up to his role model...

And now look!

His second sister had told him that the man he had always looked down on was actually the role model he had admired since childhood?!

His whole worldview had collapsed!!!

"Did you see the weapon I took out earlier?"

Xu Yunyi also knew it was a little difficult for her younger brother to accept this, because she knew he had always idolized the Eternal Night Demon Emperor.

At the thought, she nearly burst out laughing.

Well, the man you used to snipe at and mock whenever you saw him turned out to be the idol you've admired since childhood. Happy now?

"I saw it..." Xu Xuanyu knew what his second sister wanted to say.

"Brother-in-Law gave it to me. Zixuan and Miaomiao each have one now too, and each of them also has a treasure even higher-grade than the treasured sword I took out earlier. They should be Brother-in-Law's most powerful weapon and armor," Xu Yunyi said.

Xu Xuanyu: "..."

He couldn't help thinking of how his nephew Lu Zhengran had kept showing off in front of him after receiving that treasured saber.

Well, Zhengran, the things your elder and younger sisters casually received put your treasured saber to shame by hundreds of times!!

He had begun to believe what his second sister had said.

He was also gradually accepting this news, as surreal and difficult to accept as it sounded.

The brother-in-law he had always found so objectionable was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!

On careful thought, he realized that the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, who had reigned supreme in the Demon Domain for many years, had suddenly disappeared from the Demon Domain a little over a thousand years ago.

Rumor had it that the Eternal Night Demon Emperor had gone into seclusion to break through to a higher, even more invincible realm, which was why he had remained in seclusion for so many years without appearing.

Now, putting together when he had first met his brother-in-law and when he had heard that Eldest Sister and Lu Qing'an had first met, he realized that the timing nearly matched when the Eternal Night Demon Emperor had disappeared from the Demon Domain!

Together with what his second sister had told him, this was more than a mere coincidence!!

"Second Sister, if he really is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, then doesn't that mean he has no favorable impression of me left at all..."

Xu Xuanyu spoke miserably, his lips trembling as he spoke.

He had disgusted his brother-in-law with his sarcastic remarks for nearly a thousand years!!!

That was his idol!!!

When Xu Yunyi heard her younger brother say that, she finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"Ahem, Little Brother, well, Brother-in-Law is a pretty good person. He probably doesn't dislike you..." Xu Yunyi tried hard to hold back her laughter, but she didn't sound very confident in her attempt to comfort him.

Because she really wasn't sure.

Her brother had spoken ill of Lu Qing'an far too many times!

Xu Xuanyu: "..."

"All right, let's leave it there about Brother-in-Law," Xu Yunyi said.

"No, no, no! Second Sister, tell me more?!" Xu Xuanyu hurriedly pleaded.

After a struggle with himself, he killed off his pride, and his reason was overwhelmed by the excitement of a devoted fan.

"Tell you what?" Xu Yunyi asked.

"Uh, tell me how powerful you found out Brother-in-Law really is during this visit. Last time, he showed a bit of his strength here, and he didn't seem all that strong, just a little stronger than Lin Qingxue. Of course, that might have been because of the boundary wall's restrictions and because Brother-in-Law didn't fully display his strength."

Hearing her brother actually begin to make excuses for Lu Qing'an, Xu Yunyi felt like laughing again.

This kid.

He was actually quite simple at heart.

It was just that sometimes he really couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"How strong is Brother-in-Law? Let me put it this way. I haven't been here long, but I've already seen four Demon Domain experts far stronger than Lin Qingxue. And the way those experts acted when they saw Brother-in-Law, tsk, tsk, it was just... what would be a good way to describe it? Let me think."

Xu Xuanyu's eyes shone. "They revered him like a god?!"

"Not exactly. Brother-in-Law is a very good person, so their souls were awed and their hearts won over! They were afraid of making him unhappy, but they also liked him very much and wanted to get closer to him!" Xu Yunyi said.

"I see! That's right! They must be like that! What else? How else has Brother-in-Law shown his strength?" Xu Xuanyu asked again.

"There's also the awakening of my Innate Array Physique. Brother-in-Law took us to a place called the Heavenfall Demon Cavern, where he let those of us with weak cultivation enter and temper our bodies. Even Miaomiao, whose cultivation isn't high, was completely unaffected! I even awakened my Innate Array Physique because of it! It's all thanks to Brother-in-Law! And later, I heard him say that he actually went to the very bottom of the Heavenfall Demon Cavern and found a mysterious energy body that seemed to be alive..."

Xu Yunyi spoke in great detail, her face full of admiration.

Xu Xuanyu felt his heart surge just listening.

"It was the Heavenfall Demon Cavern?! I've heard of that place! Didn't people in the Demon Domain say Brother-in-Law could only reach thirty or forty li deep? This time, he actually reached the very bottom?! Terrifying! Simply terrifying!!"
