Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 269 Bonfire Party

Guo Tianming's behavior really surprised Guo Shiyi, but Jiang Qingxue didn't seem to notice anything unusual, which puzzled Guo Shiyi, since the two of them used to argue every time they met.

Seeing that Jiang Qingxue and the other archaeological team members all looked confused and didn't know what had happened, Guo Shiyi wiped away her tears and told them what had happened.

When they heard that the group had been missing for more than ten days, everyone gasped, thinking about how worried their families must be. They all took out their phones to let their families know they were safe, but unfortunately the signal was bad. So the group rushed back to the camp to find a satellite phone.

To celebrate the new life, everyone decided to hold a bonfire party. They prepared a large bonfire next to the archaeological camp and then set up a barbecue grill next to the bonfire. Some of the food came from the camp's food reserves, and some came from wild game that Feifei caught in the canyon.

After the dozen or so people divided the tasks, a large bonfire party was quickly prepared.

"Look what this is, everyone." Just as everyone was working hard, the captain of the archaeological team suddenly walked up to them carrying more than a dozen cases of beer.

"Ha, beer!" someone exclaimed in surprise. "I didn't expect you to have such a good thing hidden away, Captain."

"Not only that, there's also this." Someone else emerged from the tent carrying a guitar.

Someone pulled a harmonica from their pocket, held it high, and shouted, "I happen to have a harmonica with me too!"

"Are there any other instruments? I can play a few too, we can play together." Guo Shiyi excitedly raised her hand.

"Why don't you use this guitar? I also have a flute," the man said, handing her the guitar.

"Shiyi could be the lead singer," someone said with a laugh.

"Haha, this is going to turn into a music festival!" someone exclaimed excitedly.

"Can I request a song?"

"Those are all outdated songs of yours, I'm afraid Shiyi wouldn't even be able to sing them." As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from around the campfire.

Feifei and Kaiming were chasing and playing in the open space not far from the campfire. Kaiming, taking advantage of his ability to fly, deliberately teased Feifei. He would slow down and glide slowly, and when Feifei got close and pounced, he would suddenly pull up, making Feifei miss. Feifei cried out in distress from below, while Xiaoying followed behind Feifei, cheering him on.

Han Kexin naturally wouldn't participate in the labor. She sat comfortably by the campfire, waiting for Zhou Bin to bring her the roasted goat leg.

Her gaze pierced through the flames as she calmly watched Xiaoying run away. The coldness that usually clung to her face had vanished, replaced by a rare expression of calm and relaxation.

Guo Tianming seemed to intentionally sit next to her, looking at Kaiming in the distance, and said, "That's the ancient divine beast Kaiming. How did you tame it?"

Based on Qin Xiaochuan's understanding of Han Kexin, he felt that Han Kexin would not reply to Guo Tianming with much content. More likely, she would just coldly throw out a few words to quickly end the conversation.

After all, that was how she behaved when facing Yin Changlin and the others before.

However, Qin Xiaochuan miscalculated. Faced with Guo Tianming's question, Han Kexin showed no indifference whatsoever. Instead, she chatted with him like an old friend she hadn't seen in a long time, recounting her encounter with Kaiming and even telling him about the demon race's conspiracy on the Platform of Emperors.

Guo Tianming frowned slightly upon hearing this, then suddenly turned his head and looked intently at Guo Shiyi, saying, "It seems you intentionally told me this information."

"That's right." Han Kexin didn't deny it. She threw a piece of wood into the fire and said, "After all, you're the great hero who saved the world, the child of the stars."

A gust of wind suddenly blew up from the canyon, and some memories instantly flooded his mind.

"I am Tianming, also known as the Child of the Stars. My dream is to become a great hero who saves the world."

He was only sixteen years old that year. The few television stations that broadcast Jin Yong's martial arts dramas were frequently shown on a rotating basis. After watching them for a long time, an indelible dream of martial arts heroes naturally formed in his heart.

At that time, he was young and ignorant but full of vigor, penniless but ambitious.

More than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. That fiery young man seemed to have faded slowly from his memories, but when he was mentioned again tonight, his dormant heart couldn't help but beat, and the sealed door to his memories slowly opened.

A flame seemed to burn in his eyes, the light and shadow reflected by the campfire. His gaze narrowed as he looked at Han Kexin's face, as if waking from a dream: "You are Han Keyun, no, you are Han Kexin."

His usually stern face suddenly warmed up, as if time had turned back thirty years.

"I remember you were just a little girl back then," Guo Tianming teased without any politeness, as if the two of them were already very familiar with each other, so familiar that they often bantered and joked with each other.

"I remember you were just a little girl back then," Guo Tianming teased without any politeness, as if the two of them were already very familiar with each other, so familiar that they often bantered and joked with each other.

"Hmph, aren't you just an ignorant, immature kid yourself?" Han Kexin retorted without backing down.

Guo Tianming smiled wryly: "Time flies so fast. I never expected to meet an old friend here today. It's truly a great joy in life."

Then he said nostalgically, "By the way, how is Brother Xiao doing now? I really miss him."

"He's dead." Han Kexin's gaze was calm.

Guo Tianming was surprised and asked again, "What about your sister?"

"He's dead too." Han Kexin's gaze remained calm.

Guo Tianming fell silent, and after a long while, he sighed and slowly said, "So, in the end, I couldn't escape the curse after all? Things have really changed."

Han Kexin's expression was complicated after hearing his words, and she remained silent.

Qin Xiaochuan overheard their conversation and felt a mix of emotions. It was clear that Guo Tianming already knew Han Kexin's identity, which meant that he didn't have much time left.

Thinking of this, he looked at Guo Shiyi and saw that she was immersed in the music, with a happy smile on her face.

"She was willing to walk thousands of miles, sleeping beside the bluebird, even amidst a thousand torrential rains, and occasionally feeling lost in a foreign land..."

Guo Shiyi's sweet voice echoed through the canyon, and everyone swayed their heads along with her.

After playing and singing several songs in a row, she handed the guitar to the others, jumped to Qin Xiaochuan's side, slightly out of breath, the emotions she had just experienced from the music had not completely faded.

"Xiao Chuan, I feel like my dad not only knows Sister Kexin, but he seems to be quite close to her," Guo Shiyi said in a low voice.

Qin Xiaochuan gazed at that youthful and beautiful face, his heart wavering. He was truly afraid that he would never see that face again after tonight.

"Sister Kexin said you know the answer. What is it? Tell me quickly!" Guo Shiyi asked curiously, tugging at his sleeve.
