Because of Lin Qiye's stubbornness, Jiang Shiyuan didn't know the reason for her blushing, but she remembered something else.

"By the way, Seven Nights, didn't you see Brother Zhai and the others when you were fighting Isis? Were they badly injured?"

Given Shen Qingzhu's personality, once he's on the battlefield, he would never abandon Lin Qiye unless absolutely necessary.

"Since they were on the verge of death, I sent them to protect the new recruits first."

As Lin Qiye's shyness gradually subsided, he thought of the wounds on Shen Qingzhu and An Qingyu's bodies when they left, and his expression darkened, giving a somewhat bitter reply.

Just a few words are enough to imagine the situation at the time. In fact, Shen Qingzhu, An Qingyu and Jiang Er did not want to leave. What did it matter if they were on the verge of death? They still had their resurrection armor. At this point, who wouldn't have the spirit of sacrifice?

But given the circumstances, there was no other way but to leave.

Shen Qingzhu and An Qingyu were no longer able to fight, and the ice coffin on An Qingyu's back was shattered by Isis during the battle. Jiang Er's situation was special. If it weren't for the Forbidden Ruins [Spiritual Field] which allowed her to convert the remaining consciousness in her brain into a magnetic field to continue existing, she would have already disappeared into the world.

Jiang Er had no chance to start over. Lin Qiye understood that An Qingyu and Shen Qingzhu's cultivation levels were too low, and even if they were resurrected once, it would be useless. If they didn't leave now, the three of them might perish here. Moreover, the new recruits who came on their own initiative still needed someone to take care of them.

Therefore, under his tough stance, the three went to protect the new recruits, leaving him to fight Isis alone.

He originally thought that if something unexpected happened, the three of them would be the team's lifeline...

“With An here, there shouldn’t be any problems, but I’m still a little worried.” Jiang Shiyuan smiled. “Why don’t you and your brother go? I’ll go back and check first.”

"Go with Ah Jin?" Lin Qiye was taken aback, a little confused. Shi Yuan meant that he was going to the Heavenly Court, but was the Heavenly Court a place he could go?

"Brother, don't worry about me, you go back first. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet again in the future." Yang Jian noticed Lin Qiye's confusion and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

There's plenty of time ahead, so let's not get bogged down in this short moment.

Jiang Shiyuan was a little surprised, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just went along with whatever Yang Jian said.

She waited for the two to finish saying goodbye, waved to the two men and the dog, and then walked with Lin Qiye toward the stronghold where the new recruits were located.

"Sigh, this battle was really tough, but thankfully we held on."

"Fortunately, we all survived." Lin Qiye smiled gently, a touch of emotion in his eyes. "I thought I would never see you again."

"What do you mean 'never see again'? Did you use your resurrection armor?" Jiang Shiyuan snorted and glanced at Lin Qiye from head to toe.

Lin Qiye was puzzled, but after a moment of silence, he nodded, "I used it."

“You haven’t even used your trump card yet, no need to think about it so much—wait, you used it?!” Jiang Shiyuan stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, looking at Lin Qiye in shock.

"Actually, I don't feel anything... Wait, don't cry." Lin Qiye was at a loss. He wanted to use his sleeve to wipe Jiang Shiyuan's tears, but after a battle, he was covered in blood and could only wipe them with his hands.

"I shouldn't have switched with you!" The resurrection armor had been used, which meant that Lin Qiye had already died once. Jiang Shiyuan thought she had saved Lin Qiye, but she seemed to have been too arrogant and made a mistake.

Yes, in essence, Tefnut, as the goddess of moisture, is the embodiment of nature, while Isis, the goddess of magic and life, relies more on the power of faith.

In this world, apart from the Great Xia, the faith power of all gods comes from the human realm they control, so Isis's power must have been weakened.

According to this theory, if Lin Qiye had been fighting Isis from beginning to end, he might not have died...

This seems to be the second time. She thought she had saved Lin Qiye, but unexpectedly, disasters still befell him as scheduled.

"This is not your fault. I did not expect her to have a second form, capable of spewing flames that can burn people to ashes. It was my lack of strength. If it weren't for the forbidden item you gave me, I might not be able to see you now. That would be the real regret. Shi Yuan, I should thank you."

Lin Qiye spoke urgently, hoping that Jiang Shiyuan could quickly recover from her grief. Unfortunately, he was never good at comforting people, and his words revealed the cause of his own death.

"It's not that you weren't strong enough, it's that I overestimated myself and caused you so much harm..." Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were red, and she hung her head dejectedly. "You don't understand. I was going to find Cao Yuan to exchange for you. I saved you on the way, and I was even feeling smug. I never expected that by some twist of fate, I would still let you experience death. I'm so sorry..."

"Is it possible that this hurt came from myself?" Lin Qiye paused, then reached out and pulled the person into his arms. "As for the hurt that came from you, it should be that sentence 'I won't be a widow,' right?"

He didn't really want to talk about this, since it would make him seem like he cared a lot, but now he really had no other choice.

"What?" Jiang Shiyuan looked up blankly, tears welling in her eyes. She almost thought she had misheard. "What did you say I was hurt?"

"You heard me right." Lin Qiye nodded affirmatively and continued, "Have you forgotten where you would be right now without these Outer Gods?"

Jiang Shiyuan: "..."

For some reason, the tears in her eyes suddenly stopped flowing, and the guilt she had been building up vanished. She jumped from sadness to guilt in an instant.

Isn't this another kind of alternative consolation?

“Now that everything is over, after we go back and treat them, we should still take care of the things that weren’t resolved, shouldn’t we?” Lin Qiye said with a smile as he saw Jiang Shiyuan calm down.

Seeing Jiang Shiyuan's remorse is heartbreaking, but seeing her guilty is also quite amusing.

"You told me to wait for you upstairs, and I listened, so I didn't run away," Jiang Shiyuan said, wiping away her tears, still unconvinced.

"But I didn't settle the score, and I didn't achieve my goal of imprisonment, which hurts me a lot." Lin Qiye said, becoming serious as he spoke.

"You know, this is an uncontrollable factor." Jiang Shiyuan knew that Lin Qiye was trying to distract her, but she couldn't help but be led by his thoughts.

"You have a chance to make amends now, don't you?" Lin Qiye got angry just thinking about how the person in his arms had repeatedly tested the limits of pushing him away.

"I'll give you a chance to make amends."
