Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Seeing Xia Ruoyi's dejected look, Qin Xiaochuan felt a pang of heartache. Especially after hearing her question, he felt even more like an irresponsible bastard.

He really didn't know how to answer her. Just as Qin Xiaochuan was in a dilemma, struggling with how to phrase his words, he suddenly heard Su Chen next to him say in surprise, "Junior Qin, you're going to major in Spiritual Studies?"

He deliberately spoke loudly, and almost everyone in the restaurant heard him. They all looked up at their table. After all, the Department of Spiritual Studies was a new department that had only been established in the last two years, and many people had limited knowledge of it. But that was precisely what made it mysterious and aroused the interest of others.

Xia Ruoyi's face flushed slightly, probably because of the attention she was receiving from so many people. Qin Xiaochuan was even angrier. He looked at Su Chen with displeasure, thinking to himself, "This guy is not only an annoying fly, but also a fly with exceptionally long ears."

Seeing Qin Xiaochuan looking at him, Su Chen smiled and continued, "Junior Qin, don't take it to heart. I just heard you talking about the Department of Spiritual Studies, so I wanted to give you some advice. After all, you are all freshmen and may not know many things about the school yet. As a senior, I naturally can't just watch you suffer."

Qin Xiaochuan ignored Su Chen's words.

He thought to himself, "A nosy fly with annoyingly long ears."

However, just because you ignore some people doesn't mean they won't bother you. Su Chen is a good example. Seeing that Qin Xiaochuan didn't speak, he said with a forced smile, "If I remember correctly, Junior Qin should be majoring in ancient mythology in the archaeology department, right?"

Su Chen spoke loudly as he spoke, and as soon as he finished speaking, several suppressed laughs rang out in the restaurant. A low voice even came from the side: "How come our school has all sorts of ridiculous majors now?"

Qin Xiaochuan glared angrily at Su Chen. The other party's intention in saying those things in public was quite clear: to embarrass him in front of so many people.

But Su Chen completely ignored his anger and continued, "I'm straightforward, so I hope Junior Qin won't misunderstand. Some of what I'm about to say might be a little harsh, but for your own good, as your senior, I still have to remind you..."

At this point, Su Chen paused deliberately and put on a serious expression, but the smile in his eyes was obvious. It was unclear whether he couldn't hide it or was doing it on purpose for Qin Xiaochuan. He continued, "Not all majors are suitable for studying spiritual studies, especially a major like your Ancient Mythology Research."

"Pfft!" Suddenly, someone couldn't help but laugh, and then the whole restaurant erupted in laughter. Some tried their best to control themselves, while others laughed unrestrainedly. Looking around, everyone in the restaurant was shaking their shoulders from laughing, and some people even turned their heads to look at Qin Xiaochuan as if they were watching a monkey show.

Qin Xiaochuan suddenly felt an inexplicable anger surge from his chest, almost causing him to punch Su Chen in the face.

But reason told him he couldn't, because Xia Ruoyi was sitting right across from him. If he fought with Su Chen, the other's henchmen would definitely side with him. Not only would he suffer a loss, but Su Chen would also take the opportunity to make him lose face in front of Xia Ruoyi. Moreover, if he made the first move, he would not only be in the wrong, but others would also think he was just angry and embarrassed.

So in the end he held back and simply said to Xia Ruoyi, "We haven't even had our food yet, so why are there flies buzzing around?"

Xia Ruoyi's face was flushed. She felt very embarrassed by the ridicule she had just received, and she didn't say anything when Qin Xiaochuan said that.

"What did you say?" Upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Su Chen's face immediately turned liver-colored.

"Hey, Su-xue-chang, you don't think I'm talking about you, do you?" Qin Xiaochuan smiled slightly at him, thinking to himself, "Keep pretending to be so serious."

Su Chen's face turned purple with anger, but he didn't lash out. He just took two deep breaths, gave Qin Xiaochuan a meaningful look, and didn't say another word from beginning to end.

"Looks like this kid isn't stupid after all; he does have some sense of propriety." Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself, filled with contempt.

But Su Chen's follower couldn't hold back any longer and said to Qin Xiaochuan in a lecturing tone, "Hey kid, don't be ungrateful. Su Chen is doing this for your own good. To tell you the truth, Su Chen is also studying spiritual studies. What he said is not an exaggeration at all. Not everyone can choose to study spiritual studies."

"Oh, is that so?" Qin Xiaochuan replied with a smile. "Thank you so much for your kindness, senior. I'm relieved to hear you say that."

"What are you so sure about?" The lackey looked at him in confusion. When he ignored him, he continued, "Let me tell you, if you want to study spiritual studies, you have to pass a spiritual power test first. Since the spiritual studies department was established, only the elite students in the school have been able to pass the test."

Spiritual power test? Qin Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment after hearing his words. He really didn't expect that the Department of Spiritual Studies would have elective restrictions. This was something he hadn't thought of. It seems that the Department of Spiritual Studies is quite extraordinary.

Just as he was thinking this, Su Chen's follower suddenly changed his expression and said to him with disdain, "I've never heard of anyone who studies ancient mythology passing this test. I really don't know what you're so confident about?"

Qin Xiaochuan gave him a deep look, and seeing his smug expression, he couldn't help but feel sorry for this snobbish person. So he smiled at him first and then said, "I'm relieved that since Senior Su has already passed this test, then I definitely won't have any problems."

Upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Su Chen looked at him with surprise. Unexpectedly, Su Chen was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "You mean you're stronger than me? If that's the case, then I look forward to you actually passing the spiritual power test. Then we can have a good competition."

Then he paused and continued, "But you mustn't disappoint me. It would be too embarrassing if you didn't even pass the spiritual power test."

After saying that, he gave Qin Xiaochuan a cold laugh, and then left the restaurant with his henchmen without even eating.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Qin Xiaochuan felt a slight chill in his heart, not because he was worried about whether he could pass the spiritual power test, but because of Su Chen's attitude.

The other person didn't get angry after hearing his sarcasm; instead, they laughed, and it was a genuine laugh from the heart.

There are generally two types of people who can remain calm and composed after being mocked: those who are very cultured and those who are very confident.

Because of their confidence, they don't care about any rumors or gossip, because they believe that their own strength can completely dispel all rumors.

This kind of person is terrifying, and Su Chen clearly doesn't belong to the first type, so he must belong to the second type.

It seems that Su Chen is not a simple person.

Of course, Qin Xiaochuan didn't think that much about it. He would deal with whatever came his way, and it wasn't a big deal. Besides, he was now the Blood Witch King.

If all else fails, seek help from Han Kexin. After all, she now represents the entire Blood Witch Clan, and for the sake of the clan's honor, she should help him.

After Su Chen left, Qin Xiaochuan and Xia Ruoyi had lunch and chatted for a while before Xia Ruoyi went back to her dormitory.

Qin Xiaochuan knew that Xia Ruoyi was unhappy about his choice of elective course in spiritual studies. During their conversation, she subtly advised him to change his elective course several times. In the end, Qin Xiaochuan didn't know how to reply to her, but he really couldn't change it.

Xia Ruoyi left, filled with resentment. Qin Xiaochuan stood in the crowd on the street, watching her retreating figure, and clenched his fists tightly.

Actually, there was something Qin Xiaochuan really wanted to tell her.

"I, Qin Xiaochuan, will definitely not let you down, Ruoyi."
