Su Hua had once done Huode a favor.
Huode didn't want to watch her fall step by step into the trap Gu Qingfeng had set, but in front of Gu Qingfeng, he couldn't very well advise her. Now he only hoped Su Hua would stop here, not sink deeper, and certainly not take the initiative to propose probing Gu Qingfeng's condition.
Just as he finished this prayer, Su Hua spoke.
"Without Acupoints, it's fundamentally impossible to open a Purple Mansion. Since you were able to open a Purple Mansion, you must have Acupoints. Perhaps the Foundation Establishment failure caused a mutation, and the Acupoints changed along with it. How about this, Young Lord Chiyan, if you don't mind, you can open your Heart-Mind, and I'll use my Divine Sense to enter your body and examine you carefully."
Truly, what one fears most is exactly what comes. Hearing Su Hua say this, Huode was both exasperated and amused. He had wanted to use a secret sound transmission to warn her, but alas, such tricks couldn't escape Gu Qingfeng's ears. After some thought, he decided to forget it, lest this kid mock him later and say he had taken a fancy to the young lady.
"Is that so..." Gu Qingfeng twisted his neck left and right, saying indifferently, "I don't have any objections, but..." Seeing Gu Qingfeng agree, Su Hua felt a surge of joy inside. Clearly, she very much wanted to probe the situation within Gu Qingfeng's body. "But what?"
"When my Foundation Establishment failed, not only did my Physical Body mutate, but my Heart-Mind also changed..." "Heart-Mind changed?"
Su Hua's willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Although Foundation Establishment failure can cause changes to the Physical Body, it fundamentally cannot affect the Heart-Mind. The Physical Body is the Physical Body, the Heart-Mind is the Heart-Mind. While there is certainly a connection between the two, it can only be the Heart-Mind influencing the Physical Body. Changes in the Physical Body cannot affect the Heart-Mind."
Su Hua was very certain about this point. It was a law, just as the sky is the sky, the earth is the earth, humans are humans, and demons are demons. The laws of heaven and earth are thus, and all things are the same.
"As for how it happened, I'm not too clear either."
Gu Qingfeng ate a few red-leaf demon fruits, wearing an expression of 'suit yourself'. "Anyway, after the Foundation Establishment failed, my Heart-Mind changed."
"What kind of change?"
"I can't really explain it. Anyway, it's very dangerous. In the past, when I opened my Heart-Mind and let others probe, some people died. Those who didn't die had their Divine Sense extinguished. Those whose Divine Sense wasn't extinguished had their Heart-Mind collapse..." "That strange?"
Su Hua was somewhat skeptical. If one probed a powerful Heart-Mind without permission, such a situation might occur. But if the other party opened their Heart-Mind willingly, such a situation fundamentally shouldn't happen.
"It's true. This old man can vouch for it."
Huode couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to advise. "Immortal Maiden Su Hua, I advise you not to probe. Otherwise, it could be very dangerous."
Huode was sincerely advising. He knew and saw very clearly that Gu Qingfeng was absolutely setting a trap, and the kind of trap that plays you to death without compensation. He tells you the danger first. If you stop here, then all is well. If you insist on not believing this evil and insist on probing, then if something unfortunate happens, you won't even have a place to reason. It would be purely your own fault.
Reason about what?
The other party has already clearly told you there's danger, and you still insist on doing it. What else is that if not your own fault?
However, what Huode didn't expect was that Su Hua seemed not at all worried. She said calmly, "It's fine. I know my own limits."
"No, Immortal Maiden Su Hua, this isn't a matter of limits or not, but..." Before Huode could finish, Su Hua nodded in acknowledgment. "Thank you for the reminder, Huode Zhenren. Rest assured, I will be careful."
Careful?
When Young Master Gu wants to play you, what use is being careful!
At this moment, Qian Shan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. "My lady's Divine Sense is as vast as the sea, as strong as solid rock. It can peer into heavenly secrets above and discern earthly divinations below. No one in this world can shake her Divine Sense."
Ouyang Ye also chimed in. "Grandpa Huode, you're worrying too much. Have a little faith in Elder Sister Su Hua, okay? Elder Sister Su Hua was once a Nine Heavens Immortal Maiden. Even if Gu Qingfeng's Heart-Mind is a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, it couldn't harm Elder Sister Su Hua in the slightest."
"You...
Ah!"
Huode shook his head and sighed, seeing that Su Hua was so determined, he couldn't be bothered to advise further.
"Young Lord Chiyan, please open your Heart-Mind. I will now release my Divine Sense to examine you carefully. Rest assured, as long as you open your Heart-Mind, your Heart-Mind will definitely not suffer any setback."
Probing someone without permission is considered impolite, even a hostile act, precisely because doing so can easily harm the other's Heart-Mind. And everyone knows that the Heart-Mind is very fragile and extremely important. Once the Heart-Mind suffers a setback, sometimes the danger is even greater than a Purple Mansion collapse. A Purple Mansion can be repaired, but once the Heart-Mind is damaged, recovering is far, far more difficult.
"Alright, no problem. I have no objections."
Gu Qingfeng ate a few more red-leaf demon fruits and nodded. "But, let's get the unpleasant words out in the open first. If something happens to your Divine Sense, it has nothing to do with me."
Looking at Gu Qingfeng's serious expression, Su Hua felt puzzled inside. She always felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly. Of course, off or not, she was still very confident in her Divine Sense. In her previous life, her soul had been tempered by the Nine Heavens Milky Way. Even now, reincarnated, although her Physical Body had changed, her soul remained the same. As her soul was, so was her Heart-Mind, and even more so her Divine Sense.
In her thinking, no matter how strange Gu Qingfeng's Heart-Mind was, it absolutely could not affect her Divine Sense. She had this confidence and said softly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Trust me."
"Fine. With so many people watching, I'm not afraid you'll go back on your word."
Gu Qingfeng looked at Master Wenzhu opposite him. "If Miss Su here causes me trouble over this matter later, I'll trouble Master Wenzhu to bear witness for me."
"This..." Master Wenzhu knitted his brows, unsure how to respond.
Ouyang Ye was very displeased and scolded, "Hey, Gu Qingfeng! Don't measure the heart of a gentleman with your own mean standards! Not to mention Elder Sister Su Hua won't be in danger, even if she were, Elder Sister Su Hua wouldn't cause you trouble. Do you think everyone is like you!"
"Alright, then it's settled. Come on."
When Gu Qingfeng was ready, Su Hua hesitated. Because the more she thought about it, the more something felt off. She had a growing feeling that something was wrong. This guy seemed very certain she would definitely be in danger, and he even found someone to bear witness. This made Su Hua think he wanted to shirk responsibility.
Thinking carefully, Su Hua dismissed this notion.
She thought perhaps Gu Qingfeng was just overly worried, afraid that his Heart-Mind might really harm her Divine Sense, and then afraid she would cause him trouble.
It was probably like that.
Not continuing to dwell on it, Su Hua released her Divine Sense and began the probe.
