Revelation of the Way of Heaven

He quickly emptied his pockets, taking out his phone. He immediately turned it on, but there was no signal.

No, there's one more thing, he told himself, and continued rummaging through his pockets.

Finding nothing in his first pocket, he hurriedly reached into his second pocket and finally pulled out a cylindrical jade object about the size of an index finger.

The Jade of Inspiration was given to him by Han Kexin when he went to the "Dark Night" base last time. She said that if he encountered danger, he should infuse the jade with spiritual power and the other party would come to save him.

He didn't know if the jade would work here, and even if it did, he didn't know if Han Kexin would come to his rescue, since the conflict between the two of them hadn't been resolved yet.

Regardless, at this moment any small hope is a lifeline, so he unhesitatingly poured his spiritual power into the Jade of Inspiration.

The Jade of Inspiration, imbued with spiritual power, emitted a faint green light. Fortunately, the Matryoshka doll could not absorb the spiritual power of the Jade of Inspiration, so he did not need to continuously input spiritual power into it.

Then came the waiting again. The rekindled hope began to torment him in his chest once more. He didn't know whether he should tell Guo Shiyi the news, because he really couldn't bear to disappoint her again.

He used his divine eye to examine her; she had very little spiritual energy left and didn't know if she could wait for Han Kexin's rescue.

However, this is not the most pressing issue right now. What is pressing is Guo Shiyi's emotions. Judging from her current state, she will collapse long before her spiritual power is completely exhausted.

"Listen to me," Qin Xiaochuan said, grabbing her arm. In the end, he decided to tell her about the Jade of Inspiration, hoping it would be torturous but also give her courage.

In fact, Guo Shiyi was stronger than he had imagined. Upon hearing his voice, she immediately began to calm herself down. She lay on his lap for a while, and only after she had completely wiped away her tears did she look up at him.

Qin Xiaochuan looked at the glistening tears still in her eyes and suddenly felt a pang of heartache. Although she was already a highly skilled demon hunter at such a young age, a girl from a wealthy family who had grown up under the care of her elders should never have experienced such a desperate situation.

He told her about the Jade of Inspiration. Although he only had a 60% chance that Han Kexin would come to save them, Guo Shiyi was very excited when she heard this. She said, "Great! We're saved!" Her excited expression was as if she could already see Han Kexin appear in front of them.

Qin Xiaochuan frowned. He knew that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. So he said calmly, "Why are you so agitated? It's still hard to say whether Han Kexin can even come to rescue us."

"No, I believe in Sister Kexin, she will definitely come to save me," Guo Shiyi said with certainty, then frowned and looked at him, "Isn't that what you think?"

Qin Xiaochuan certainly didn't think that way. Putting aside whether Han Kexin could receive his distress signal, he had said such hurtful things to her before, and she hadn't contacted him even once since. Heaven knows what she was thinking.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Guo Shiyi continued, "Don't you think Sister Kexin has always been very trustworthy?"

"I just felt that she was always very cold," Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself, but nodded on the surface.

"And I can tell that Sister Kexin cares about you a lot," Guo Shiyi added at the end.

"Huh? How did you figure that out?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at her in surprise.

"It's so obvious! Last time we explored the 'Dark Night' base together, she took such good care of you." Guo Shiyi pouted. "I'm starting to wonder if Sister Kexin likes you?"

"Uh! You're overthinking it." He said, looking embarrassed. Of course he knew that Han Kexin did that just to make him the Blood Witch King, even though she never really treated him as a king. "There's no way we could have a romantic relationship." Qin Xiaochuan could only explain with a wry smile.

"Why is it impossible? Sister Kexin is so good to you." The little girl clearly disagreed with his words.

"There's a special reason for that. Anyway, it's not what you're thinking. Haven't you noticed how cold she is to me usually?" he said speechlessly.

"Maybe it's because Sister Kexin doesn't know how to express her feelings," she still thought.

"How could that be? Do you think Han Kexin is that kind of person? She looks more mature than both of us, okay? What can't she handle?" Qin Xiaochuan firmly disagreed.

"But relationships are different. Even the most mature woman's IQ drops sharply when it comes to relationships."

Qin Xiaochuan felt utterly exasperated, not understanding why this girl was suddenly so interested in Han Kexin. He couldn't let her continue to pry, and he couldn't explain the specific reasons to her either; saying more would be pointless, so it was best to change the subject.

"Anyway, it's definitely not what you imagine. You should continue telling me about your life in the Wudang Sect. Your story is more interesting." That was all he could say to her in the end.

The girl was clearly a little dissatisfied with Qin Xiaochuan's vague answer, but she didn't say anything more and continued to tell him about her life in Wudang.

He didn't know how much time had passed. Although he didn't have much hope that Han Kexin would come to save him, when the gray vortex reappeared in front of them, he still felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

"It must be Sister Kexin who came to save us," Guo Shiyi said excitedly.

Qin Xiaochuan wasn't as optimistic as Guo Shiyi. Guo Shiyi and he had very little spiritual energy left. Perhaps the middle-aged man just felt that the time was almost up, so he released them. Who knows what misfortune they will face next?

His thought flashed through his mind, and as soon as the gray vortex appeared, they felt a strong attraction coming towards them again. Then, he felt a moment of dizziness and fell into a state of weightlessness and confusion once more.

When he opened his eyes again, he and Guo Shiyi were lying on the stone-paved ground. When he looked up, he saw Han Kexin wearing a black bodysuit.

Qin Xiaochuan couldn't describe how he felt at the time. He only remembered that when he saw Han Kexin's icy face again, he was so excited that he could hardly breathe.

"She really came to save us." This thought kept repeating in his mind. They were saved!

Han Kexin remained calm as she looked at them. Qin Xiaochuan noticed that her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she held back and turned her gaze to the front of her.

Qin Xiaochuan guessed that she still harbored resentment because of what happened last time. Since she was like this, he didn't say anything more. He turned his head and looked around. Only then did he realize that they were still in the church hall. In front of them, besides Han Kexin, there was Zhou Bin and the middle-aged man who had grabbed the two of them with a matryoshka doll.

The church hall was in a mess, clearly having just been through a major battle. It was unexpected that such a huge commotion would occur outside, yet there was not a sound inside the nesting doll. That nesting doll was truly a treasure.

Qin Xiaochuan glanced at Zhou Bin beside him, surprised to find that the other party had also reached the level of spiritual power level 7. With two against one, Han Kexin had no chance of losing.

The atmosphere in the main hall wasn't as tense as he had imagined. Han Kexin and Zhou Bin were just standing casually, while the middle-aged man maintained a defensive posture, unsure of what would happen next.
