[You were somewhat surprised, not so much for her daring to gamble, but mainly because Xiao Qing's understanding of wizards was truly beyond your expectations.]

[The path of a wizard can break the limitations of laws; you don't even know such important information, yet the other person explains it to you as if it were second nature.]

It's as if the other person is a legitimate wizard, while you're just a junior apprentice.

Xiao Qing noticed your confusion and explained that he had also been interested in wizards and had even sought out wizarding traditions to try and cultivate them.

[Because she had researched this herself, she was able to detect your wizard identity using the spatial-temporal treasure she used for protection.]

Unfortunately, her talent for the profession of wizardry was only so-so, and her progress in cultivation was very slow, but her curiosity about wizardry allowed her to learn many secrets.

[You suddenly remember that the profession of wizard is cursed, and ask Xiao Qing about the curse.]

Xiao Qing shook her head, indicating that she didn't know the specifics of the curse, but over the years, its power had weakened considerably and had little impact on low-level wizards.

Moreover, being in the Hengjie Dynasty, they naturally have methods to avoid the effects of the curse.

As for the secrets of how the wizarding civilization perished millions of years ago, such information is taboo even within major powers, and these things cannot be known through conventional means.

Fortunately, Xiao Qing was of noble status, and through her tireless efforts, she did achieve some results. Based on her secret investigations and her own deductions, Xiao Qing also offered her own insights.

She speculated that the ninth-level wizards of the wizarding civilization must have found a path to advance to the tenth level, which is why they attacked the ninth-level power, the Abyss, and even used some unknown means to kill the Lord of the Abyss.

The goal is likely to obtain something from the Lord of the Abyss.

It's a pity that the ninth-level wizard ultimately failed to advance, otherwise the wizarding civilization wouldn't have perished.

At this point, Xiao Qing's tone was tinged with regret.

In her eyes, the path of the wizard is currently the only promising path in all the realms.

[The path to any other profession has already been blocked; there's simply no way to reach the end.]

Even such a powerful wizard ultimately perished, which is truly lamentable.

"Was the destruction of the wizarding civilization due to that level nine wizard?"

Lin Yuan felt it was necessary to seriously explore these secrets in a special simulation.

This will greatly facilitate his future path.

"Leaving aside distant examples, just consider how that level nine wizard bypassed the restrictions of the laws to break through to the ninth rank. That alone is enough to drive people crazy."

Although in the simulation, Xiao Qing said that the path of that level nine wizard was not important, what mattered was one's own path.

However, Lin Yuan had reservations about this.

The experience of predecessors is still very important. Standing on the shoulders of giants is much better than figuring things out on your own.

"Even if we want to forge our own path, it doesn't mean we can't learn from the paths of others."

Lin Yuan has his own insights in this regard and won't just do whatever others tell him.

Xiao Qing has opened her heart to you this time; she hopes you can trust her and that she means you no harm.

She genuinely felt that you were different from others, possessing a very attractive confidence that inexplicably instilled great confidence in those around you.

[You can assume you've accepted Xiao Qing's assessment, since you haven't suffered any loss in the end.]

[And this time you've also cleared up many of your doubts.]

However, you should still be wary of this woman. She initially claimed to know nothing about wizards, but it turns out she knows the most.

Although she offered her explanation, no matter how you look at it, it seems somewhat far-fetched, even contradictory.

You even suspect that this woman actually knows everything, but just doesn't want to tell you.

The mysteries surrounding Xiao Qing didn't dissipate because of her explanation; instead, they made you feel even more that she was no ordinary person.

In the days that followed, various factions from the Hengjie Dynasty continuously sent people to contact you.

[You underestimated the allure of the Spacetime Dao Body. Even though you're married to Xiao Qing, you still attract many forces eager to recruit you.]

Some of these forces have offered you great rewards, others have tried to win you over with treasures, and still others are unwilling to give up, wanting to marry their daughters to you.

[A future Iron Rank 7, most likely Rank 8 Spacetime Dao Body—countless people want to place their bets in advance.]

[You're getting a little fed up, and even want to leave the capital to avoid the limelight, but unfortunately, your freedom will still be somewhat restricted until you and Xiao Qing have a child.]

[You even considered using a teleportation technique to escape; you don't believe there's an eighth-tier being constantly watching you.]

Most importantly, you don't want to get too close to Xiao Qing; she seems to have more secrets than you do.

[In this way, not only will you not have children, but with your deliberate distancing, your relationship will not progress at all.]

Freedom may seem a distant dream.

[Until one day, the steward of the Marquis's mansion came to see you, saying that a woman was outside the door cursing you as a scumbag. Although the guards of the mansion were all at the sixth level, the woman had displayed the strength of the seventh level.]

The steward asked if you needed to report to the royal family; naturally, powerful figures would come to deal with her.

[You instantly flew into a rage. Everyone knows you're not interested in women, and now someone has dared to slander your reputation for no reason. How could you tolerate this?]

You stormed out with a group of guards, seemingly unconcerned about your safety within the capital.

[Countless eyes are watching you. Forget about seventh-tier beings; even eighth-tier beings would tremble with fear if they came to cause trouble.]

As you step out the door and look up, you see a woman clad in heavy golden armor, wielding a long sword, glaring at you.

【Azure Blade!?】

【…】

[Inside your manor's bedroom, after your repeated explanations, Blade Azure finally believed that you had no intention of changing your weapon; you were simply captured and didn't even have time to say goodbye.]

[Blade Azure has endured countless hardships on her journey to find you.]

If she hadn't been able to vaguely sense your location, she probably would never have found you in her entire life.

[Even after racking her brains, Blade Azure never imagined that you would actually become a Holy Son in the Eternal Realm Dynasty.]

[Originally, you gave her the Body of Law to help her break through to the seventh rank, and Blade Azure was so touched that she thought she was being petty.]

[I never expected that she would open her eyes right after breaking through to the next level and find that you've disappeared.]
