Learning Su Chen's true identity, Qiu Xuan's attitude performed a complete 180-degree turn. He didn't dare to provoke Su Chen any further; even if he harbored doubts, he was unwilling to gamble.
Qiu Xuan knew very well that if he lost this gamble, it wouldn't just be a matter of face or material loss—the entire dynasty could be wiped out. That was a consequence he could not afford.
Su Chen, naturally, understood Qiu Xuan’s intent. He certainly did not want to take action. Although he had merged two lifetimes of experience, he could not use that power at will. The reason was simple: every time he forcibly unleashed the power of his previous life, it dealt massive damage to his soul. This time, for instance, his soul had suffered cracks. Had he not been lucky, he would have likely perished. This was why he had been truthful about his name to the Eternal Dynasty, hoping to deter them from acting against him.
