Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 400 Telepathy

Not long after, Han Kexin also brought Xiaoying to help Guo Shiyi. The post-war relief work continued until evening, and by the time the group sat down to eat dinner, they were exhausted.

"You did it." Han Kexin leaned back in her high-backed chair, looking at Qin Xiaochuan calmly. Her perpetually dark eyes were like a still lake, making it difficult to see into her true inner world. One could only sense a slight ripple of emotion in her words. "You truly protected Crescent City."

"I have successfully completed my mission." Qin Xiaochuan smiled and said. He picked up the oat wine on the table, and a chill emanated from his palm. After a while, the wine also emitted a wisp of cold air. Then he took a few big gulps and continued, "Actually, the real challenge has only just begun."

"I told you you would defeat that Qiongqi." Guo Shiyi looked at him proudly. "The arrangements of Goddess Nuwa are never wrong."

"Actually, I almost failed." Qin Xiaochuan scratched his head dejectedly. "Qiongqi's strength is truly terrifying. Without the Xuanyuan Sword, I wouldn't have had a chance at all."

"Really? Then tell us about your battle with Qiongqi. I want to know how you turned the tables and won," Guo Shiyi asked curiously.

"I want to hear it too! I want to hear it too!" Xiaoying said excitedly, holding up a chicken leg.

Qin Xiaochuan glanced at Han Kexin and saw that she was also staring intently at him, so he had no choice but to recount the entire battle in detail from beginning to end.

When Guo Shiyi heard that the Golden Priest had sacrificed himself to save Qin Xiaochuan, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect the Golden Priest to do such a thing."

"I didn't expect this either," Qin Xiaochuan sighed. "To be honest, I always thought I knew this person, but his behavior today makes me feel like I know nothing about him at all."

"There must be a special reason," Han Kexin frowned. "The Golden Priest isn't the kind of person who acts on emotion."

"Perhaps," Qin Xiaochuan said. No matter what, the other party had saved his life, and Qin Xiaochuan was unwilling to give the other party any negative evaluation at this time.

"How is he now?" Guo Shiyi asked.

"He's dead." Qin Xiaochuan sighed.

Han Kexin and Guo Shiyi fell silent upon hearing this.

"How did Uncle defeat that bad guy Qiongqi?" Xiaoying asked anxiously.

Qin Xiaochuan smiled at her and said, "Of course, it's because I relied on the Xuanyuan Sword." Qin Xiaochuan then recounted how he summoned the Xuanyuan Sword to defeat Qiongqi.

"Oh, Uncle is so awesome!" Xiaoying clapped excitedly after hearing that Qin Xiaochuan had completely defeated Qiongqi.

"We're really lucky to have grasped such a powerful ability at such a crucial moment. Maybe it's because Goddess Nuwa is protecting us in the dark." Guo Shiyi patted her chest, looking relieved. Qin Xiaochuan's account of the entire battle was quite vivid. She was almost completely immersed in it. Even though she knew the final outcome, she still subconsciously worried about Qin Xiaochuan when she heard the crucial parts.

"I don't think it was luck; it just happened to trigger the applicable scenario for his telepathic abilities," Qin Xiaochuan said with a sigh.

"What do you mean?" Guo Shiyi asked, puzzled.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Xiaochuan explained, "How should I put it? This is how I see this supernatural ability: being able to perceive the other person's thoughts requires a certain understanding of that person. The deeper the understanding, the more accurate the perception of telepathy becomes. Qiongqi wanted to use language to interfere with my mind, but in doing so, he also exposed his true inner thoughts, which is why my telepathy ability was triggered."

"You first triggered your telepathic abilities at Minggang Mountain, right? Do you understand animals better than humans?" Guo Shiyi asked with a hint of teasing.

Qin Xiaochuan nodded seriously and said, "Humans are far more complex than animals, which is why I first triggered his telepathic abilities on animals." What truly triggered Qin Xiaochuan's telepathic abilities was actually the flock of eagles circling in the sky. At that moment, he felt that he and the eagles were of the same kind and could truly empathize with each other's emotions.

"Uncle Xiaochuan, can you guess what I'm thinking?" Xiaoying blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.

This was actually the question Guo Shiyi wanted to ask, but she was a little embarrassed to ask it in front of others.

"Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly," Qin Xiaochuan said with a smile. "Actually, when people are too close, telepathy isn't necessarily effective. Sometimes there is indeed a certain tacit understanding, but sometimes being too close amplifies certain traits of the other person, making it impossible to see the whole picture. It's like when you put your palm in front of your eyes, you can only see the palm lines, but not the palm itself."

"Just like when two people meet, they might be attracted to each other by magnifying one of the other's strengths, but one day they might also develop aversion to each other by magnifying one of the other's weaknesses," Han Kexin said coldly, sounding like a wise woman who had been through many relationships and understood the complexities of male-female relationships. Guo Shiyi, who was originally full of pride for Qin Xiaochuan, couldn't help but feel her eyes dim after hearing her words.

"Being too insightful isn't good; the secret to happiness in life is to be a little confused sometimes," Qin Xiaochuan commented to Han Kexin with a smile.

Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him, then smoothed her hair and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"To fulfill my mission," Qin Xiaochuan answered without hesitation.

Han Kexin frowned, indicating her confusion.

"It was an instruction from the Goddess Nuwa," Guo Shiyi explained for Qin Xiaochuan. Then she recounted to Han Kexin what the Goddess Nuwa had told them.

"We must return to Huaxu to find the true way to lift the curse on the Blood Witch Clan," Qin Xiaochuan said slowly. "I think this is probably the real reason why the previous Blood Witch King committed suicide."

After taking a bite of roasted meat, Qin Xiaochuan continued, "Through this battle with Qiongqi, I've learned many lessons. The true demon race actually originates from the human heart. As long as people's hearts don't change, the demon race will never be destroyed. To stop the demon race, we must first change people's hearts, but that's not an easy thing. If I were just a child, I could live in a world of only black and white, where good is good and evil is evil. But reality isn't that simple. Strictly speaking, there is no true good or evil. Oranges grown south of the Huai River are sweet oranges, while those grown north of the Huai River are bitter oranges. Most people in this world are caught up in worldly affairs, and many are not in control of their own lives."

Han Kexin looked at Qin Xiaochuan and said slowly, "The fact that you can say these words shows that you have really grown up and are like a king now."

"Really?" Qin Xiaochuan's face lit up with joy. "It makes me so happy to hear you say that."

"However, she still lacks composure and is too easily swayed by emotions," Han Kexin added, prompting Guo Shiyi to cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Uh..." Qin Xiaochuan had no way to refute it.
