Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 270 Bonfire Party

The dry branches crackled and popped in the campfire, and sparks shot into the sky above the canyon like startled fireflies.

The music was still playing, and the lead singer was a middle-aged man in his forties from the archaeological team. His deep voice seemed to be telling a long-ago story, drawing everyone into memories.

Guo Shiyi is probably the happiest person here today. Her mother has regained her memory, and her father, whom she hasn't seen for a long time, has returned to her side.

Looking at her curious face, Qin Xiaochuan took a deep breath before speaking, "Shiyi, there's something I must tell you."

"Okay!" Guo Shiyi said, her big eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Actually, Han Kexin, Zhou Bin, and Xiaoying, they actually..." Qin Xiaochuan felt his throat go dry. He swallowed hard before continuing, "They are actually...blood witches!"

Guo Shiyi was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said as if she didn't care at all, "Oh, I see. Blood witch is blood witch, it's really not a big deal."

"Aren't you surprised? Why do you seem so indifferent?" Qin Xiaochuan asked in surprise.

"It was indeed a bit of a surprise. Actually, seeing your expression just now, I thought there was some bad news. I was so nervous." Guo Shiyi said in a relaxed tone, and then she deliberately patted her chest. Then her expression became very serious: "As for Sister Kexin and the others, even if they are blood witches, they are the blood witches who helped my mother restore her memories."

"But I've kept this from you for so long, don't you feel deceived?" Qin Xiaochuan said.

"No, if it were me, I wouldn't easily tell others about this either. After all, I also have to think about the safety of Sister Kexin and the others."

Qin Xiaochuan was deeply moved and couldn't help but take Guo Shiyi's hand, saying, "Thank you, Shiyi, you're so kind."

"Hehe." Guo Shiyi was as happy as a child and said, "Of course! So you'll have to cherish it from now on, right?"

"Huh?" Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback, then instantly realized what she meant, looking at her excitedly: "You mean..."

Guo Shiyi didn't answer him, turning her head away from his gaze, a blush rising on her delicate face.

"So...you've agreed to be my girlfriend?" Qin Xiaochuan felt his heart race, as if an electric current was flowing through his brain. A slightly intoxicating sense of happiness welled up inside him, making him forget everything else in the world for a moment, with only that beautiful and lovely girl in his eyes.

"I might have to think about it some more," Guo Shiyi said with a sly smile, avoiding the question.

"I don't care, I've already made up my mind about you." Qin Xiaochuan grabbed her hand, acting like a rogue.

Seeing Qin Xiaochuan's expression, Guo Shiyi let out a soft hum, but her heart suddenly felt filled with tenderness and affection.

As night deepened, the campfire burned ever brighter, sparks flying and exploding into tiny flowers in the air. Neither spoke, for at that moment they felt a deep connection, and a thousand unspoken words flowed naturally between them.

So the two of them held hands and quietly enjoyed the musical performance in front of the campfire.

"Oh, right, I just remembered something. When Qin Xiaochuan and Shiyi were besieged by the Si family's mecha, someone sent me a message using a dove. Was that you?" Han Kexin asked Guo Tianming.

Guo Tianming held a bottle of beer in his hand, took a swig, and said, "That's right. I was secretly investigating the Hai Lao Club at the time. A few years ago, I discovered that the Si family of Yuheng Group not only had connections with the demon race, but also seemed to have been selected by the Hai Lao Club as a candidate for the club. So I infiltrated Si Haotian's side. Because it was inconvenient to take action, I used that method to pass on information to you."

"Ebi Club? What kind of organization is that?" Han Kexin asked, frowning.

Guo Tianming's gaze was deep: "It is an extremely mysterious organization with a long history. Those who can join the club are the world's top billionaires. According to my investigation, the organizer behind this club is very likely the demon race. The incident thirty years ago was probably also planned by them."

Are you still investigating what happened back then?

"Of course. Now that we're involved, we have to get to the bottom of this. Besides, those behind the scenes have so much power; they're like a time bomb that could explode at any moment."

"Aren't you afraid of endangering your family?" Han Kexin understood Guo Tianming; after all, they had once been partners who had taken risks together, and she could completely understand his insistence.

"Of course I was scared. It was precisely to prevent Qingxue and Shiyi from getting involved that I pretended to divorce Qingxue..." Guo Tianming said, sounding somewhat melancholy. He probably felt that he hadn't played the role of a husband and father well over the years.

Han Kexin admired the man in front of her. The boasts he made in his youth did not seem to have been lost in the river of time. She suddenly thought of the wise monk in the temple. Both of them were silently guarding something in places unknown to anyone.

As for that man from back then, he so resolutely chose his death date. Was he carrying something behind his back, or protecting something?

After all, the phrase he often said still rings in our ears: "Protecting is our mission, and also the path to redemption."

Han Kexin shook her head, trying to shake off the thoughts in her mind. These days she easily gets caught up in memories of the past, but she knows very well that the past is the past, and it is meaningless to dwell on it.

"You just said you were passing me messages, which means you knew about my existence a long time ago, right?" Han Kexin quickly changed the subject.

"I will naturally investigate anyone who appears around my daughter, but I never expected that you would be that little girl from thirty years ago. You are quite good at hiding your identity," Guo Tianming said without any concealment.

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy for those people in Crescent City to find us?" Han Kexin said proudly.

"New Moon City?" Guo Tianming frowned. "You weren't..." He seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "When did Brother Xiao pass away?"

"It's been almost twenty years," Han Kexin said calmly, the firelight dancing in her deep eyes like two butterflies imprisoned under ice, futilely flapping their fiery wings.

"Then the reason you approached Qin Xiaochuan was because of him..." Guo Tianming suddenly realized.

"You guessed right, he is the new Blood Witch King." Han Kexin revealed everything.

Guo Tianming smiled wryly upon hearing this and said, "I should have thought of this long ago. Time really is a recurring cycle. I never expected that people who once went on adventures together would miraculously reunite in another way after being separated for thirty years."

At this point, he shifted his gaze to Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi, and then naturally saw their hands clasped tightly together.

Guo Tianming's face turned cold, and he said to Han Kexin with some anger, "Since you know his destiny, you shouldn't let Shiyi be with him."

Han Kexin seemed oblivious to his change in expression, and said calmly, "I have no say in the affairs of young people."

"In short, I will never let them be together no matter what." Guo Tianming's expression was resolute, clearly indicating that he had made up his mind.

Han Kexin remained unconcerned, even a mysterious smile appearing on her face: "Then, this is going to be quite a show."
