Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

Lin Qiye's eyes were as calm as water, as if that praise was enough to make any guard's heart surge.

It couldn't even stir up the slightest ripple in his heart.

He lowered his head slightly, his voice without any fluctuation:

"I don't deserve it."

"It is my duty to share your worries, young master."

"Duty?" The handsome young man chuckled and shook his head.

She walked to the highest pile of gift boxes.

I casually picked up the exquisite wooden box with the "Li Ji" candy shop logo printed on it.

"If it was just a matter of duty, you wouldn't know that Master Zhang of Baiweizhai tossed and turned for three months over that ancestral plaque;"

"If it was just duty, you wouldn't remember that Vice Admiral Wang of the City Defense Battalion is from Shuzhou and loves spicy food."

"So I went to Shuxiang Pavilion and bought their most spicy meat jerky."

"If it was just a duty, you wouldn't have passed by the herbal medicine shop."

"Tell me to buy a box of 'Sanyang ointment' for rheumatism."

"Because the elderly mother of Mr. Liu, the head of the household department, is suffering from this disease."

Every time the handsome young man spoke, Lin Qiye's eyes moved slightly.

It turned out that she had seen and remembered all these seemingly unintentional details he did.

She turned around, and the moonlight cast a soft silver glow on her delicate profile.

Lin Qiye's slightly stunned figure was reflected in those bright eyes.

"I want you to look up a list of officials in Jialing City who are worth winning over, are neutral, or are dissatisfied with the Zhenbei Palace."

"What you gave me is much more than just a list." The handsome man's voice was soft but powerful.

"You gave me their likes and dislikes, their worries, their weaknesses, and even the needs of their families."

"This isn't a guard at all. This is clearly something that only the best strategists can do."

It turned out that the seemingly casual purchase was not for satisfying the appetite at all.

Every shop and every dessert corresponds to a name and a family.

"The Zhenbei Palace is powerful, and Cao Yuwei has been operating in Jialing City for many years, so he has deep roots."

"If we want to gain a foothold here, relying solely on Uncle Wu's reputation and the empty shell of the City Lord's Mansion is far from enough."

The handsome young man walked to the center of the courtyard and looked around at the hundreds of gift boxes, his eyes flashing with wisdom and strategy.

"When confronted head-on, we are like an egg hitting a rock."

“But water can penetrate any hole.”

She picked up the box of spicy dried meat and handed it to the butler beside her: "Send it to Vice General Wang's residence and say it's a little gift from my new neighbor."

"I heard he was training hard, so I sent him some home-cooked food to cheer him up."

She pointed to a box of elegantly wrapped pastries and said, "This is for Dean Fang of Chengxi Academy."

"He has always been a noble man. He would not refuse gold or silver if it was given to him in the name of a junior."

"And that box of 'Sanyang Cream', send someone smart to deliver it to Liu's residence."

"Don't make it public. Just say it's a little concern from the City Lord's Mansion."

"Where's that box of candy figurines?" Lin Qiye suddenly spoke, his voice changing slightly.

The handsome young man was startled when he heard this, then burst out laughing.

She winked playfully and walked in front of Lin Qiye.

She personally stuffed the wooden box containing the sugar figure of "Expressionless Lin Qiye" into his arms.

"Well..." She dragged out her tone, and the smile at the corner of her eyes was like ripples.

"This is for the 'Walking Guide' I received."

"Reward you for your hard work today, and by the way... let you have a taste of sweetness."

Lin Qiye held the small wooden box in his arms, which felt slightly cold to the touch. He could imagine the appearance of the candy man in the box.

My usually cold and hard heart seemed to have melted a little bit because of this sudden sweetness.

He raised his head and met the beautiful young man's sparkling eyes with a mischievous smile.

The barely perceptible blush at the base of her ears seemed to deepen a little.

"Thank you... sir." He thanked him a little stiffly and carefully put the wooden box into his arms.

"Okay, everyone, get moving!"

The handsome young man clapped his hands, regaining his composure as the master, and gave orders to the servants in the courtyard.

"According to the list I made earlier, deliver all these 'thoughts' to their proper destinations before nightfall."

"Remember, be quick and quiet, and don't attract the attention of the Zhenbei Palace."

"Yes!" The servants immediately took action. The entire courtyard was busy but orderly.

As the night deepened, a number of inconspicuous carriages quietly drove out from the side door of the beautiful young man's mansion.

Blend into the twilight of thousands of lights in Jialing City.

They did not alarm anyone, like drops of water, flowing into the city's rivers.

The staff of the Zhenbei Palace finally put their minds at ease after receiving the report from the spy that "the beautiful young master has returned home and there has been no unusual movement."

To him, it was just another day of playing house for a little girl, boring and tedious.

He would not know that in this seemingly peaceful evening,

A big network woven by human feelings and goodwill,

It was spreading quietly to the entire Jialing City with the beautiful young man's mansion as its center.

This network is still fragile for now, but it is secretive enough and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The handsome young man stood on the steps, watching the last carriage disappear around the corner.

The evening breeze blew up her skirt, and she took a deep breath. The sweet scent of cakes still lingered in the air.

She turned her head and looked at Lin Qiye who stood like a javelin beside her.

"Lin Qiye," she said softly,

"Tonight is just the beginning."

Lin Qiye didn't say anything, but gave the calmest answer with an unwavering look.

His knife cut through the thorns for her.

His wisdom paved the way for her.

From today on, this "walking guide" will open a new page just for her.
