Revelation of the Way of Heaven
Chapter 68 Du Peixian
"Explosive Flame Dance!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, and a fireball suddenly exploded in front of him, turning into countless flames that splashed in all directions. The flames landed on the grass, and the withered grass was easily ignited. In no time, a large patch of grass was burned. In the autumn mountains, a single spark can burn down an entire forest. This kind of fire was already extremely dangerous.
"Water Serpents!" Guo Shiyi shouted softly, and countless streams of water emerged from under the grass like transparent snakes, quickly covering the burning grass and extinguishing the dangerous flames in no time.
Although people with superpowers usually focus on learning skills of one or two attributes, they will also learn some simple skills of other attributes in order to use them when necessary, just like now.
"This skill is good. It should be quite powerful once you fully master it." Guo Shiyi nodded to Qin Xiaochuan. His Exploding Flame Dance looked flashy, but it was all show and no substance, since he had only just started practicing.
"But I'm curious, where did you learn these advanced skills?" Guo Shiyi looked at him with a puzzled expression. The warm afternoon sun shone on her, giving her a vibrant energy that could easily infect others, making those around her radiate boundless passion.
Qin Xiaochuan had been practicing the Blazing Dance skill with great enthusiasm for an hour, yet he didn't feel tired at all. Hearing her question, he didn't hide anything and said, "Han Kexin told me all about it."
He figured that since Han Kexin was strong enough and a member of an adventure club, it wasn't surprising that she knew some skills.
Guo Shiyi nodded in agreement and said, "Sister Kexin is really strong. She's not much older than me, yet she already possesses such great strength. By the way, do you know exactly how old Sister Kexin is?"
Qin Xiaochuan shook his head. He dared not ask that question. After all, women become very sensitive about their age as they get older. But no matter what, Qin Xiaochuan absolutely did not believe that she was not much older than Guo Shiyi.
Guo Shiyi was slightly disappointed, and continued to ask, "Do you know which sect Sister Kexin belongs to? Someone as outstanding as her should be very famous no matter which sect she belongs to, so why have I never heard of her before?"
Qin Xiaochuan shook his head again. This really wasn't a lie, because he didn't know if there were sects within the Blood Witch Clan.
"Do you know what she's been up to lately? I haven't seen her in a long time, and I really miss her," Guo Shiyi said with a smile. Qin Xiaochuan suddenly realized that this girl's affection for Han Kexin was unusually high.
But he shook his head again.
"How come you don't know anything? I clearly feel that you and Sister Kexin are very close!" Guo Shiyi glanced at him with dissatisfaction, looking coquettish.
Seeing that expression and look in her eyes, Qin Xiaochuan felt his heart skip a beat. He could only say helplessly, "You know her personality. She always has an icy face. I don't dare to ask her questions casually, let alone her personal questions. Even if I did ask, I'd probably only get a glare in return."
"Sister Kexin isn't that cold-hearted." The little girl immediately stood up for Han Kexin. "It must be because you talked too much nonsense and made her impatient, so she treated you like that."
"No way," he said speechlessly. Although Han Kexin had indeed said that he talked too much nonsense, he would never admit to something so embarrassing.
"So are you afraid of Sister Kexin?" Guo Shiyi asked mischievously.
"How could that be!" he immediately denied, but upon reflection, he realized that he was indeed afraid of her when he first met her, after all, she was a member of the Blood Witch Clan. But now, he probably wasn't afraid anymore, though he didn't dare to provoke her easily. In that sense, he was still a little apprehensive, especially now that he had offended her and didn't even have the courage to face her. He didn't know why; he couldn't explain it himself.
"How about we go see her sometime when we have some free time?" Guo Shiyi suddenly said with anticipation. "We're about to participate in a major competition, so we can give her a ticket and invite her to watch our match."
Qin Xiaochuan initially wanted to refuse outright, as he didn't know what kind of anger Han Kexin would be waiting for him. But then he thought that Han Kexin hadn't contacted him for so long, and this couldn't go on. He would have to face the trouble he had caused himself. It would be better to go with Guo Shiyi to see her. If Guo Shiyi was there, Han Kexin might not embarrass him too much.
"I hope so, and I hope the gods will bless me," he prayed silently in his heart.
So he nodded and agreed, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on the girl's face.
Overjoyed, she continued, "Actually, I want to see Sister Kexin not only because I miss her, but also because there are some things I want to tell her."
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaochuan asked curiously, but couldn't help wondering when this girl had started having an affair with Han Kexin, leaving him out of the picture.
"It's about the 'Dark Night' organization."
"What happened to the 'Dark Night' organization?" This surprised him even more. Hadn't the "Dark Night" organization already been destroyed by them?
"The Demon Hunters recently conducted an investigation based on the information we brought out. The mastermind behind the 'Dark Night' organization is Du Peixian, a well-known real estate tycoon in China. However, the identity of Dr. Chang has not been confirmed. We can only continue the investigation after we capture Du Peixian."
"Hmm." Qin Xiaochuan nodded. Although the investigation had made progress, the current findings didn't seem to have anything to do with him.
Guo Shiyi paused for a moment and then continued, "Sister Kexin had asked me to keep an eye on the relationship between the 'Dark Night' organization and the Church of Saint Dexin, so I specifically instructed the demon hunters investigating this matter to keep an eye out. As a result, they actually found something during their investigation of Du Peixian."
The Seven Star Lamp, originally hidden in a secret room of the Church of Saint Teresa, appeared in the research lab of the 'Dark Night' base. This was indeed very suspicious, or rather, there must be some connection between the two. Hearing Guo Shiyi say this, Qin Xiaochuan immediately asked, "What did you discover?"
"The Church of St. Descartes and a large area around it were bought by a real estate developer seven years ago, supposedly to build a large amusement park. However, the project had to be abandoned due to procedural issues. Now it seems that things are not so simple, because the buyer is Du Peixian."
"In other words, Du Pei bought this land primarily because of the St. Desmond Church." He immediately understood Guo Shiyi's meaning and said what she hadn't said aloud.
But a question immediately arose in his mind (it must be said that after his Heavenly Soul was repaired, his mind immediately became sharper, and he understood many things very quickly).
He voiced his doubts to Guo Shiyi: "If Du Peixian bought the Saint Dexin Church, which is the secret room, there's absolutely no need for him to buy such a large space. Even if he's rich and doesn't care about these things, he wouldn't waste it for no reason. There must be some factor that makes him feel it's worth spending this money."
"You're right." Guo Shiyi also noticed the suspicious points. "Moreover, he has already taken the treasure from the secret room, so there's even less reason for him to do this. Therefore, we can conclude that Du Peixian bought this land not for the treasure, but for something else."
