Revelation of the Way of Heaven

"I've already released the person, can you let me go now?" the middle-aged man asked Han Kexin in broken Chinese.

Han Kexin nodded slightly without saying anything more, and the middle-aged man cautiously walked towards the entrance of the main hall.

Just as he was about to reach the door, Guo Shiyi suddenly called out to him, "Hey, stop!"

The middle-aged man immediately stopped and turned to look at Guo Shiyi.

Guo Shiyi turned to Han Kexin and asked, "Kexin, how could you just let him go like that?"

Han Kexin frowned, but before she could speak, the middle-aged man sneered and turned to continue walking towards the entrance of the main hall.

"Stop!" Guo Shiyi was furious. The feeling of being trapped in the nested doll was terrible, which made her furious. As she spoke, she formed hand seals, but unfortunately, she had very little spiritual power left and could not release any skills.

"Blazing Dance!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, and a fireball was quickly thrown at the middle-aged man. Guo Shiyi wasn't the only one who was angry.

Just as the fireball was about to explode behind the middle-aged man, a white mist suddenly rose from behind him, enveloping the fireball. Qin Xiaochuan only heard a muffled thud, like a firecracker exploding inside a quilt, without any power.

The middle-aged man then walked out of the church's main hall.

"Sister Kexin, why did you let him go?" Guo Shiyi asked Han Kexin, puzzled.

"We can't keep him here. Besides, we've already made an agreement with him. As long as he releases the two of you, we'll let him leave," Han Kexin said calmly.

Guo Shiyi stopped talking. Qin Xiaochuan glanced at Han Kexin, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't know how to face her or what kind of anger she would unleash on him.

The church suddenly became very quiet. He could hear Han Kexin's footsteps and her uniquely cold voice.

"Let's go back now," she said casually to everyone, as if she hadn't even remembered the incident.

"Huh, what's going on?" He felt uneasy. He could understand if Han Kexin scolded him or even beat him up, but her avoidance of the topic puzzled him. "Could it be because there are too many people around, and she doesn't want to embarrass herself?" he wondered to himself.

Of course, since the other party didn't say anything, he naturally chose to remain silent as well. Just as he was about to follow them out of the church, he heard Guo Shiyi say, "Wait a minute, let me take a few photos first." With that, she rushed into the secret room.

After she finished taking pictures, the four of them walked out together. Qin Xiaochuan then realized that it was already afternoon. He hadn't expected to stay in the nesting doll for so long.

Huh? It's afternoon!

Looking at the bright sunshine outside, he suddenly realized a problem: it's clearly daytime now, so how did Han Kexin and Zhou Bin get here?

He looked at Han Kexin and Zhou Bin, both of whom were wearing black bodysuits and baseball caps. Were they using these outfits to protect themselves from the sun?

When they reached the entrance of the main hall, both of them took out a pair of black sunglasses from their pockets and put them on, then stepped into the sunlight.

At that moment, he felt as if his heart was hanging in the air, but thankfully nothing had happened between them, and he was relieved.

However, this look is far too dangerous. They could easily get sunburned if they're not careful, and this kind of attire would likely arouse the suspicion of demon hunters. If their identities are discovered, then they're doomed.

Were they risking their lives to save him? Several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

"Wow, so cool." Guo Shiyi's excited voice interrupted his thoughts. Seeing the two of them put on sunglasses, she thought they were just showing off, and she carefully looked Han Kexin up and down and left and right.

To be honest, the two of them looked really cool in their outfits, like super agents from a Hollywood blockbuster. One of them is a quiet, handsome man, and the other is an icy beauty. The outfits really brought out their personalities. No wonder even Guo Shiyi, that little girl, was swooning over them.

"I wonder what she would think if she knew their true identities? If she knew that the two people who rescued her were the vampires she talked about, would she still trust her Sister Kexin so much? If one day I am forced to become a member of the Blood Witch Clan, how would she view me?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at Guo Shiyi's sparkling eyes, his thoughts racing.

He couldn't think of an answer, and he didn't even dare to imagine such a thing. Looking at the backs of the three people in front of him, he only hoped that Guo Shiyi would never find out, and that everyone could continue to live together harmoniously like this.

But is that really possible?

He doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know now.

He kept up with them, thinking that some things should be left to worry about until they actually happen.

*******

The four of them went straight back to Han Kexin's villa, and the first thing they did upon arriving was to eat.

Having spent most of the day inside the Matryoshka doll, Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi hadn't even had lunch and were starving. So when they got back, Zhou Bin immediately prepared a sumptuous lunch for them, which the two of them devoured without any hesitation.

After eating, they immediately went to sleep. Because they had stayed in the matryoshka doll for too long, Guo Shiyi's spiritual energy was almost depleted. Without spiritual energy, it is easy to feel sleepy. Han Kexin and Zhou Bin were sleeping during the day anyway, so there was no reason for them not to continue sleeping after returning.

Guo Shiyi had gone upstairs to sleep long ago, and Zhou Bin quickly went into his room as well. Watching Han Kexin walk upstairs last, Qin Xiaochuan was filled with endless questions. Now that he was all alone, why was Han Kexin still not saying a word, as if nothing had ever happened?

Was she waiting for him to apologize? He immediately realized this, which was troublesome. He rubbed his head in worry. He knew that apologizing and explaining were the worst things he could do, and besides, he couldn't explain this matter. He would rather take a more straightforward approach, preferably letting her beat him up to vent her anger.

But that was obviously impossible. Han Kexin didn't even seem to be blaming him, which left him somewhat at a loss.

Seeing Han Kexin about to step onto the last step, he knew this matter couldn't be delayed any longer, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and call out to her, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"What did you say?" Han Kexin stopped in her tracks but did not turn around.

"You can scold me, or beat me up, whatever you want, just don't be angry with me anymore."

Han Kexin finally turned her head, glanced at him, and said coldly, "I'm not angry with you."

"Isn't this considered being angry?" He felt a wave of helplessness. She had indeed rejected violence, and now he could only apologize to her, even though he felt a lot of pressure.

Qin Xiaochuan coughed lightly to clear his throat before trying to be as sincere as possible: "I know I was wrong last time. What I said was really too much. Actually, it was just something I said in anger. I didn't really mean it that way."

He felt that what he said was dry and unmoving, but it was the only sentence he could think of, because he was really bad at apologizing and explaining.

"I'm sorry," he said weakly at the end.
