Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Upon hearing Mo Yu's words, Qin Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the other party was indeed not so easily fooled.

He glanced at Guo Shiyi beside him, and it was clear that she was also a little nervous.

"If I remember correctly, you're not a demon hunter, are you?" Mo Yu pointed at him and said, "Didn't you two have a fight last night?"

Just as Qin Xiaochuan was about to speak, Guo Shiyi suddenly spoke up before him, saying, "That's right, he's not a demon hunter, and his goal isn't to capture you. You don't need to make things difficult for him. Let's settle your grudge with the demon hunter ourselves."

"Huh?" He looked at her in surprise and said, "What are you talking about? How can I, a dignified boy, let a girl cover for me? Besides, based on what you said, he won't let us go. So if we're going to leave, we'll have to leave together."

Guo Shiyi glared at him upon hearing this.

He added, "Since I brought you out here, of course I'll bring you back."

"I think you've misunderstood," Mo Yu suddenly interjected. As he spoke, he walked to a pile of drinks nearby, reached in and pulled out three bottles, saying, "I didn't intend to hurt you."

Huh? Qin Xiaochuan looked at him in surprise, thinking he had misheard, otherwise why would the other party say such a thing?

But the other party didn't seem to be joking. Mo Yu gestured to them with her drink and asked, "Room temperature or iced?"

"It's cold," Qin Xiaochuan replied, but in his heart he was wondering what Qin Xiaochuan was up to.

A layer of white frost quickly formed on the beverage bottle in Mo Yu's hand. By the time he threw the beverage into Qin Xiaochuan's hand, it looked as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator.

"I never imagined that spiritual power could be used in so many ways. How come I never thought of that before?" Qin Xiaochuan's eyes widened, and he secretly made up his mind that he must learn an ice-related skill when he got back, so that he could have iced drinks anytime in the summer.

Mo Yu picked up another bottle of beverage and gestured to Guo Shiyi.

"I don't need it," Guo Shiyi replied, then asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?"

Qin Xiaochuan looked at Mo Yu in confusion, but Mo Yu did not rush to answer Guo Shiyi's question. Instead, after handing a drink to the blond man and the other three, he said, "My meaning is very clear: I have no intention of hurting you. I want to talk to you."

Guo Shiyi frowned, clearly not understanding Mo Yu's intentions either. She said, "What's there to talk about between a demon hunter and a defector?"

"Let me tell you a story first," Mo Yu said. "Ten years ago, after my parents were killed by vampires, I have been hunting them down everywhere. But in the process of investigating, I discovered that these vampires did not appear by chance, but were controlled by someone behind the scenes."

Upon hearing these words, both Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi's expressions changed. However, Guo Shiyi was merely shocked by the news, while Qin Xiaochuan thought about much more.

Because he knew that the Blood Witch Clan did not exist in isolation as humans usually perceived, but actually had a more complex organizational structure. Could it be that the one controlling these Blood Witches was a Blood Witch with a superior bloodline?

Mo Yu had anticipated their surprise upon hearing this news, so he continued, "After that, I began investigating the mastermind behind controlling the vampires. Later, I finally found a place that seemed to be the mastermind's base. So I told my best partner at the time, and we agreed to investigate the base together."

At this point, Mo Yu's voice became somewhat heavy, as if something painful had happened to him. He said, "However, on the very day we were about to set off, my partner suddenly attacked me, trying to ambush me. Unfortunately, I happened to notice his actions, and in a panic, I had no choice but to fight him to the death. Although I won in the end, I was badly injured and was branded a 'traitor' from then on."

"You mean you've been framed?" Guo Shiyi finally understood what Mo Yu was trying to say.

"Although I don't want to emphasize this, it is a fact," Mo Yu said calmly.

Guo Shiyi neither confirmed nor denied it. She only said, "It is not my task to determine whether you have been wronged or not. My task is to arrest you and bring you to justice."

"I didn't intend for you to help clear my name. I'm telling you this because I think you'd be very interested in the person who controls the vampires behind the scenes, since that's the duty of a demon hunter."

"You want us to help you investigate that base?" Guo Shiyi said.

"No, I just want to find a partner." Mo Yu looked at Guo Shiyi and said very seriously. The latter looked at him incredulously after hearing his words. A defector looking for a demon hunter as a partner? What kind of world is this?

"No way!" Qin Xiaochuan decisively rejected the idea for Guo Shiyi.

Guo Shiyi and Mo Yu turned to look at him at the same time. Guo Shiyi was obviously hesitant, while Mo Yu's gaze held a meaningful meaning. The only thing they had in common was that neither of them spoke; they just looked at him quietly, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

"I was just asking you, who are you, and why did you come looking for me?" In the end, Mo Yu spoke first.

"I'm from the Adventure Club. I'm here to confirm some things with you." Qin Xiaochuan thought for a moment and decided to get straight to the point.

"I don't think I have any connection with the Adventure Club, do I?" Mo Yu looked at him, puzzled.

"Your father's name is Mo Qi. He was originally the pastor of the Church of Saint Dexin, right?"

Perhaps because his father was mentioned, Mo Yu frowned slightly, but in the end he nodded gently.

"Do you know that there are some treasures hidden inside the Church of St. Descartes?"

"Are you talking about that rumor?" Mo Yu sneered. "I didn't expect your Adventure Club to actually believe such unreliable rumors."

"This is not just a rumor; we have already found the secret chamber where the treasure is hidden in the church," Guo Shiyi answered for Qin Xiaochuan.

Mo Yu's face showed a look of surprise. Qin Xiaochuan understood his expression at this moment. After all, he had spent a considerable amount of time in the church before, but he had never discovered this secret room. He had always believed that the rumor was a complete fabrication.

"But did he really never discover that secret room? Perhaps his astonishment was just an attempt to hide his shock. After all, the person who discovered the secret room sealed the mechanism in the end, clearly not wanting anyone else to discover it." Another thought flashed through Qin Xiaochuan's mind.

He realized that he was still inexperienced in reading people's expressions and couldn't figure out what Mo Yu was really thinking at that moment.

"But the treasures in the secret chamber have already been taken away by others, leaving only two empty boxes and a crystal coffin," Qin Xiaochuan said tentatively.

Mo Yu remained astonished; these events could surprise him for quite some time. However, Qin Xiaochuan still couldn't determine whether the disappearance of the treasure was related to him.

Finally, he asked him directly, "Did you discover the existence of this secret room before?"

"You suspect that I took the treasure from the secret chamber?" Mo Yu frowned and said, "Until today, I never believed that rumor was true."

Perhaps, Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself, but he still couldn't completely believe what the other person was saying.

Mo Yu ignored whether he believed him or not, and asked Guo Shiyi again, "Have you thought it through now? Let's find out together who is controlling these vampires."
