Revelation of the Way of Heaven

In fact, Han Kexin herself had forgotten that today was her birthday. Since returning from Xinyue City, they had been preoccupied with various matters every day, and time had slipped away unnoticed. She had no mind to think about these things at all.

So when she and Guo Shiyi finished shopping and got home, she opened the door and a group of people suddenly jumped out and said "Happy Birthday" to her. She was obviously stunned for a moment before she remembered that it was her birthday. No wonder Guo Shiyi dragged her out shopping today. It turned out that Qiu Jie and Yang Yutong had decorated and prepared at home to give her a surprise.

Qin Xiaochuan was clearly one of the planners, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed Xiaoying into the house as soon as he got home, while Guo Shiyi deliberately delayed her entry.

"How is it, Kexin? Aren't you surprised? We've been planning this for a long time." Guo Shiyi said with a smile in front of her. Han Kexin guessed that this plan was probably the idea of ​​this quirky girl.

"Thank you for your kind gesture." Han Kexin rarely smiled, though it wasn't very obvious. Everyone knew that their painstaking planning hadn't been in vain. "Actually, there's no need for such a grand celebration. The Blood Witch Clan doesn't really care that much about birthdays." Han Kexin added. As soon as she said this, Qin Xiaochuan felt that she seemed a bit hesitant, completely unlike her usual decisive, calm, and indifferent style.

"You weren't like this when you asked me for a birthday present." Qin Xiaochuan teased her, taking the opportunity to say something, and then took out the birthday present he had prepared in New Moon City. "Here you go. I still remember it vividly. I can't forget something so important, or I'm afraid you'll tease me for the rest of my life."

"Hmph, so you mean you wouldn't have thought of this if I hadn't reminded you?" Han Kexin retorted defiantly, her expression returning to its indifferent state. It looked like a reproach, but it was actually more of a counterattack and sarcasm towards Qin Xiaochuan. "I think if Shiyi hadn't reminded you, you probably wouldn't have remembered my birthday."

Qin Xiaochuan was immediately caught off guard and speechless. He could only laugh awkwardly and explain, "It's just because I've been too busy lately. It wasn't intentional. I prepared this gift for you a long time ago because I've been thinking about it."

Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him, but didn't argue with him anymore. Instead, she looked at the box in her hand and said, "I'm quite curious about what kind of gift you've prepared. I doubt you'd choose a gift with your taste." As she spoke, she opened the box, and an exquisite watch appeared before her eyes.

"Is this gift alright? I carefully selected it." Qin Xiaochuan asked, looking at her expression with a hint of nervousness. He knew that Han Kexin was a very picky person and had seen the world. It would be almost impossible to completely satisfy her. If he didn't satisfy her, who knew how she would find ways to tease him.

"You're thoughtful, your taste isn't too bad." Han Kexin took out her watch and put it on her right wrist, and Qin Xiaochuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Auntie, I also prepared a birthday present for you." Xiaoying jumped out, holding up her latest comic book. Han Kexin took the comic book and gently patted her head. After Xiaoying, Guo Shiyi, Qiu Jie, and Yang Yutong also presented their gifts.

After giving the gift, Guo Shiyi originally wanted Han Kexin to blow out the candles and make a wish, but Han Kexin found it troublesome and skipped the whole process, directly letting Qiu Jie cut the cake. While eating the cake, Han Kexin asked Qin Xiaochuan, "What did Du Cheng say to you?"

Qin Xiaochuan swallowed the cake in his mouth and said, "It's nothing much, he's just pretending to enjoy tea and discuss philosophy. I feel that he's quite obsessed with it. He keeps appearing in front of us, he must have some special purpose."

"Yes, that's what I think too. I've already asked Qiu Jie to investigate his background. Luckily, I ran into him at the art exhibition today, otherwise it would have been really difficult to find out anything about him. The art exhibition is a good starting point. The fact that he can hold such a large art exhibition in that commercial street means that he has a certain status."

"Oh, by the way, you all need to be more vigilant lately, especially Shiyi. Don't easily trust any strangers." Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but remind him, remembering what Du Cheng had said.

"What's wrong?" Han Kexin frowned slightly. "Did Du Cheng say something?"

Qin Xiaochuan originally didn't want to say it, so as not to worry others, but when he looked into Guo Shiyi's eyes, he remembered that she had once said that no matter what happened, he should not hide it from her, so he repeated what Du Cheng had told him.

Upon hearing this, Han Kexin frowned even more, but Guo Shiyi said nonchalantly, "I don't think he can kill me so easily. After all, I am quite strong now. But you must not let him distract you and give him an opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Han Kexin frowned even more, but Guo Shiyi said nonchalantly, "I don't think he can kill me so easily. After all, I am quite strong now. But you must not let him distract you and give him an opportunity."

"Hmm." Qin Xiaochuan nodded. "But we still need to be careful. I tested his strength, and it's no less than mine. Judging from his tone and his performance at the art exhibition, that painter Lin Xia seems to be particularly important to him. Have Qiu Jie investigate their relationship thoroughly."

"I already arranged for Qiu Jie to handle this at the art exhibition. During his time back in Huaxu, he also established a considerable intelligence network in XY City," Han Kexin said.

"That's good." Qin Xiaochuan looked at Yang Yutong helping Qiu Jie prepare lunch and felt that the two of them had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before. He couldn't help but recall what Qiu Jie had once said: after meeting Yang Yutong, he felt that he was a person with flesh and blood. It can be seen that love is the best antidote to save the soul.

As they were talking, the Wood Priest suddenly arrived with the Xuanyuan Sword. It turned out that the barrier around Crescent City had been repaired, and the Xuanyuan Sword was no longer needed. The Wood Priest knew that Qin Xiaochuan had important matters to attend to, so he brought the Xuanyuan Sword to him.

Qin Xiaochuan led him to the study and inquired about the cooperation with HOD and the current situation of Crescent City. After seeing that there were no major problems, he felt at ease. The next step was to take Xirang to Kunlun Ruins to meet with Zhao Changyu and complete the important task of restoring Jianmu.

Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi spent two more days recovering from their injuries. During this time, Qin Xiaochuan taught Guo Shiyi the Tai Chi Formation. Then, in his study, he took out the Yin-Yang Mirror again and asked how to revive the Jianmu tree. This time, the Yin-Yang Mirror did not display any words but instead shot a ball of light onto Qin Xiaochuan's forehead and then fed a large amount of information into his mind.
