Chapter 411 Guo Tianming
Hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Guo Tianming gave him a deep look, a surprised expression in his eyes. After a long while, he said, "You have a great sense of the big picture, and your suggestion is excellent. I know that your Blood Witch Clan has been resisting demonic beasts in the Buzhou Realm." He paused for a moment, then added, "So you came to me wanting me to act as a go-between between the Blood Witch Clan and the HOD organization?"
"What is the HOD organization?" Guo Shiyi asked, puzzled.
"The Human Security Action Group is the organization that established the Demon Hunters," Qin Xiaochuan answered for Guo Tianming. Han Kexin had explained this to him before. He looked at Guo Tianming and said, "Yes, I have this idea. There are many demonic beasts in the Buzhou Realm. If they are allowed to teleport over one after another, the Demon Hunters' combat power simply cannot handle it. Although we can send troops, the locations where the demonic beasts appear are quite random and they are very destructive. Even if we eventually eliminate them, we will pay a considerable price."
"I can grant your request, but you must ensure that you truly have a voice within the Blood Witch Clan," Guo Tianming said.
"Xiao Chuan just saved Crescent City from a catastrophic disaster. He has a very high reputation among the Blood Witch Clan now, so there won't be any problems," Guo Shiyi said excitedly, vouching for Qin Xiao Chuan.
"This is the guidance of the Goddess Nuwa. The Blood Witch Clan is very devout in their faith in the Goddess Nuwa, and they will follow it," Qin Xiaochuan said with certainty.
"That's good. I'll contact the person in charge of the HOD organization as soon as possible. You'll also need to send someone from your side, and I'll arrange for your two people to negotiate." As a successful and pragmatic entrepreneur, Guo Tianming has always been a man of action. Once he makes up his mind, he will get things done quickly.
Qin Xiaochuan thought for a moment and said, "I will have Qiu Jie go to Crescent City to contact the Wood Priest. He and the Water Priest will then come to negotiate in person."
Guo Tianming nodded, indicating his approval of Qin Xiaochuan's plan.
Qin Xiaochuan added, "Doing this only alleviates the immediate crisis. To completely resolve the crisis brought by the demon race, the key is to change our current materialistic mindset and rebuild our spiritual world."
"What are your thoughts now?" Guo Tianming asked.
Qin Xiaochuan then repeated his idea of reviving the Jianmu tree. Guo Tianming listened in silence, but Jiang Qingxue became interested in Qin Xiaochuan's statement. After all, she worked in archaeology, and when she heard Qin Xiaochuan mention Fuxi cultivating the Jianmu tree, she couldn't help but say, "Your idea is very imaginative. If it can be proven to be true, it would be a major discovery for the origin of our civilization."
Upon hearing Jiang Qingxue's words, Qin Xiaochuan quickly asked, "Unfortunately, it's difficult for us to find information to prove this now. I wonder if Aunt Jiang has any research findings that could uncover that unique period of history?"
Jiang Qingxue shook her head and said, "There are too few historical records from ancient times, and many myths and legends were passed down orally from ancient times."
Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel disappointed. If even Jiang Qingxue said so, then it was impossible to find a breakthrough through archaeological research.
Seeing his expression, Guo Shiyi asked Guo Tianming, "Dad, since you know so much, have you ever heard of the Yin-Yang Mirror?"
"The Yin-Yang Mirror?" Guo Tianming's eyes seemed to show some surprise and confusion. "Han Kexin should know this best; it's the treasure of the previous Blood Witch King."
"Huh?" Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi's eyes widened at the same time, then they looked at each other and smiled. It turned out that the most crucial clue was right next to them all along.
"Why don't I call her now and ask her?" Qin Xiaochuan said impatiently.
"Why don't we just invite him over too? We can have dinner together tonight," Guo Shiyi said with a smile. She immediately took action and called Han Kexin, saying that she had something important to discuss. Han Kexin didn't really refuse her invitation.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Han Kexin arrived with Xiaoying. Han Kexin had specially changed into a black suspender dress, which highlighted her cool temperament while also exuding a sense of dignity and elegance, making her stand out.
"I never thought that the naughty little girl from before would grow up to be such a beauty." Guo Tianming couldn't help but tease when he saw an acquaintance. Although the two had met once before at Kunlun Ruins, Han Kexin had spent many days there, looking travel-worn and suffering from great mental trauma. She looked quite haggard, so she didn't give off such a stunning feeling as she does now.
It's important to understand that a woman looks completely different with and without makeup, and her mental state is even more drastically different when she's in a good or bad mood.
"I never expected that the show-off and somewhat immature boy from back then would now have the air of a domineering CEO." Han Kexin teased back, not to be outdone. When it comes to being two-faced, Han Kexin has never lost out. It can be seen that the two had a pretty good relationship back then. At least they couldn't avoid bickering every day. Otherwise, they wouldn't have found their old tacit understanding as soon as they met.
Qin Xiaochuan thought of the mischievous little Han Kexin in the past illusion, and he could already feel the atmosphere between the two of them back then.
But the surprises didn't end there. When Xiaoying called out "Grandpa" to Guo Tianming in a clear voice, Guo Tianming felt a wave of dizziness. It seemed that, just as Guo Shiyi had said, he really had grown old.
"No, we're the same generation, right? She calls you 'Auntie,' so why does she call me 'Grandpa'?" Guo Tianming protested to Han Kexin, dissatisfied.
"Do we look like peers to you? You're old, uncle." Han Kexin stabbed Guo Tianming in the heart again.
"M-Uncle?" Guo Tianming felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes glazed over, and he stood there dumbfounded.
"Xiaoying still calls me Auntie, and I accept that. So it's only natural for her to call you Grandpa," Guo Shiyi patted Guo Tianming's arm, trying to comfort her elderly father.
Jiang Qingxue placed a plate of fruit in front of Xiaoying, gave her a few candies, and said gently to Xiaoying, "Xiaoying, you are so cute. If you call me Auntie instead of Grandma from now on, then you will be the most well-behaved and beautiful girl in the world."
Xiaoying blinked her big eyes, looked at her and then at Guo Shiyi, and said, "But if they both call you 'Auntie,' it'll be hard to tell them apart."
"Then you can call me Aunt Jiang. From now on, Aunt Jiang will save all the good food for Xiaoying." Jiang Qingxue coaxed the little girl with a smile.
Xiaoying's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded emphatically, saying, "Okay, then I'll call you Aunt Jiang from now on."
"Mmm, good girl." Jiang Qingxue happily patted Xiaoying's head.
"Mom, I'll be jealous if you do this." Guo Shiyi threw down Guo Tianming, pouted, and hugged Jiang Qingxue's arm in dissatisfaction.
Jiang Qingxue glanced at Guo Shiyi and said, "How old are you? Acting like a child in front of a child, aren't you ashamed? And..." She paused for a moment before continuing, "Don't call me Mom anymore, call me Sister."
"I..." Guo Shiyi was speechless. How could she have lost a mother in such a short time?
"What about me?" Guo Tianming's eyes suddenly lit up as he leaned close to Xiaoying and asked with a solicitous expression.
"Dad, forget it. You can't just change how you address me. I don't want to lose another dad." Guo Shiyi's words immediately extinguished the light in his eyes.
