Revelation of the Way of Heaven

When Qin Xiaochuan walked onto the artificial bridge in front of the Department of Spiritual Studies, he saw Guo Shiyi standing at the entrance of the building, looking at the boy in front of her with an embarrassed expression. The boy seemed to be excitedly saying something to Guo Shiyi.

He tensed up immediately, realizing what was happening. This kind of thing was all too common on university campuses, but seeing Guo Shiyi's embarrassed expression, he knew she definitely wanted to get out of the situation as soon as possible.

"Shiyi, what are you doing here? Why aren't you at the training ground?" He decisively stepped in to help her out of the predicament.

"Go ahead, I was just about to go." Sure enough, upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's voice, she was as excited as if she had seen a savior, and quickly waved and walked towards him.

The boy standing in front of her turned around, and it turned out to be a familiar face – Zhang Xiao, Su Chen's roommate who had cheered her on at the selection competition. He remembered Gao Yiping saying he liked the new beauty queen of the medical department; it turned out he was talking about Guo Shiyi.

Speaking of Guo Shiyi, she is indeed a rare beauty. Her sweet face, bright eyes, small nose and mouth are all harmoniously matched. Coupled with her sunny and lively temperament, she lives up to her title as the new campus beauty. No wonder she has many suitors.

Zhang Xiao looked visibly surprised upon seeing Qin Xiaochuan, and after a moment asked Guo Shiyi with a puzzled expression, "Junior Guo, why are you with him?"

"Oh, Senior Zhang, let me introduce you. This is Qin Xiaochuan from the Archaeology Department. He's on my team now." The girl introduced him happily, though it was unclear what she was planning.

"Yes, and I majored in ancient mythology research." Qin Xiaochuan added with a smile, knowing that the other party looked down on this major.

Guo Shiyi glanced at him, puzzled, but said nothing. She then pointed to Zhang Xiao and said, "This is...?"

"No need for introductions, it doesn't matter whether we know each other or not." Qin Xiaochuan interrupted Guo Shiyi. He hated people who talked badly about others behind their backs, and he wouldn't be polite to such people.

Guo Shiyi looked embarrassed and glared at him fiercely, while Zhang Xiao's face turned ashen with anger.

"Junior Qin is really arrogant," Zhang Xiao said fiercely, but probably because Guo Shiyi was there, he didn't lash out.

"So-so," he replied casually, completely ignoring the sarcasm in the other person's words. He knew his current attitude was incredibly irritating.

Before Zhang Xiao could speak, Guo Shiyi quickly grabbed Qin Xiaochuan and said awkwardly to him, "Senior Zhang, we still have to go to training, so we'll be leaving now." As she spoke, she tried to pull him away from there.

"Wait a minute," Zhang Xiao called out to her. "So, what I just told you, does that mean you've agreed to it? See you there then!"

"Huh?" Guo Shiyi looked at the other person with difficulty. Qin Xiaochuan had just embarrassed Zhang Xiao too much, so she was now a little embarrassed to directly refuse him.

"Sigh." Qin Xiaochuan sighed inwardly. He had seen this scene on TV countless times. Usually, a handsome male lead was needed to come out and save the female lead from this predicament. And who else could play this role but him?

"I'm sorry, I've already made plans with her, so she can't agree to meet you." He decisively rejected him on Guo Shiyi's behalf.

Zhang Xiao glared at him fiercely, her gaze almost devouring him whole, before coldly saying, "Junior Qin, even if you're going to lie, you should at least be more serious. You don't even know the exact time I arranged to meet Junior Guo, so how can you be sure you've already asked her out?"

"Huh? How could this happen? Shouldn't the other party have slunk away immediately? Why did this line come out? And what he said actually makes some sense. Damn it, why did the script change for me?" He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He frowned, realizing that the other party was more difficult than he had imagined, so he could only coldly say to her, "First, no matter when you ask her out, she won't agree; second, I wouldn't lie to you, I really have already asked her out."

Zhang Xiao sneered and said, "Really? You say you're not lying? I'd like to know when you asked Guo out?"

"It was just now, didn't you hear it?" he said helplessly, wondering why this person's reaction was so slow.

"You..." Zhang Xiao looked at him angrily. If it weren't for his strength, he probably would have already punched him.

Qin Xiaochuan was too lazy to pay attention to the other party, so he pulled Guo Shiyi and headed towards the training ground behind the mountain. There was only one week left before the competition, so they had to make the most of their time to practice their teamwork.

Guo Shiyi felt that Qin Xiaochuan's actions were a bit too much. She wanted to comfort Zhang Xiao, but when she saw Zhang Xiao's distorted expression, she swallowed her words and finally followed him to the back.

When they reached the back of the mountain, she said to Qin Xiaochuan, "Weren't you going too far just now? How am I supposed to face him after this?"

"Then let's not meet." He didn't seem to care at all.

"Uh, it's not as easy as you say. After all, we're in the same department, so it's inevitable that we'll run into each other." She pouted in dissatisfaction.

Qin Xiaochuan could only comfort her, "Don't worry, he won't blame you. If he's going to blame someone, it'll be me. He probably hates me to death right now, haha." As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh smugly.

"You'll offend a lot of people if you do this," Guo Shiyi said, speechless.

He said nonchalantly, "So what? I don't care if I offend these kinds of people."

Hearing his words, Guo Shiyi was taken aback for a moment, then tilted her head and looked him over carefully. After a long while, she said, "I feel like you've changed quite a bit lately."

"Really? What's changed?" he asked, puzzled.

Guo Shiyi puffed out her cheeks slightly, revealing a cute expression, and said, "Although I haven't known you for very long, I still feel that you have changed a lot. To be precise, you have become more arrogant than before."

Qin Xiaochuan hadn't noticed until she mentioned it, but now that she said it, it seemed to be true. Since gaining spiritual power, his state of mind had been constantly changing, the most obvious being his ever-increasing self-confidence. He was indeed much more arrogant than before, as evidenced by his battle with Su Chen last time.

"It's alright," he said with a smile. "But I think it's only right. There's a saying, 'A young man who isn't arrogant is a wasted youth.'"

"Pfft." Guo Shiyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. "Was that a saying? Who said it?"

Yes, I just said so.

"You're so shameless." She stuck out her tongue. "You just said you wanted to ask me out."

"Uh, that was meant for Zhang Xiao, you actually believed it?"

"Yeah, I really mean it. It's so boring being alone." Guo Shiyi chuckled.

Since the beautiful woman had said that, Qin Xiaochuan naturally couldn't refuse, and said, "Okay, so what did he want to ask you out about?"

"Let's watch a movie," Guo Shiyi replied casually.

He nodded. "OK! I'll reluctantly accompany Miss Guo to see a movie."

"Pah!" Guo Shiyi couldn't help but punch him lightly. "You act like you're the one who's been wronged."

"Of course I feel wronged. You know, watching a movie with a beautiful woman is very stressful." He smiled slyly.

When the two arrived at the training ground, Wei Feng was already waiting for them there. Besides him, there were three other students standing in the field. He had never seen these three before and didn't know how they got there.
