Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes

The cheat-like power of mental energy allowed Lin Qiye to clearly see the scene inside the pavilion, and his steps instantly froze on the spot.

Actually, it's not too late to leave now.

A row of willow trees was planted along this path, their branches drooping like silk curtains, layer upon layer, blocking most of the view. With Lin Qiye's abilities, leaving silently would be an easy task.

But Yang Jian had already passed him and taken a few steps forward. When he noticed that Yang Jian had stopped, he turned back to look at him in confusion.

Lin Qiye's expression was tense, and his mind was in turmoil.

Putting aside how to explain it to Yang Jian, if he were to speak at this moment, Jiang Shiyuan in the octagonal pavilion would definitely hear him.

What should he do? He wasn't mentally prepared to meet her.

Yang Jian noticed his brother's muscles were tense, raised an eyebrow thoughtfully, and looked towards the octagonal pavilion. Sure enough, a figure was standing up and about to walk out of the pavilion.

"Brother, should we go first?" Yang Jian walked over to Lin Qiye in a few steps and asked in a low voice.

Lin Qiye's throat was dry, and he remained silent for a few seconds, his body stiff. He was about to nod, but it was too late.

At the end of the road, Jiang Shiyuan cast his gaze over from afar.

Instantly, both sides froze, separated by a long distance, neither daring to move.

Yang Jian:"……"

I don't know if his brother did it on purpose. To leave or not to leave, such a simple question, why did he hesitate for so long?

Jiang Shiyuan didn't expect it to be such a coincidence; she hadn't even gone looking for him yet when Lin Qiye appeared in front of her.

However, Lin Qiye's expression didn't look good, as if... he didn't want to see her?

The two stared at each other for a while, and the atmosphere around them became very quiet, as if affected by this chaotic scene, with an awkwardness palpable.

Yang Jian, the only outsider, lingered his gaze on the two of them. Just as he was wondering whether to break the silence, Lin Qiye made his move.

He took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and said, "Let's go, Ah Jin."

Now I finally understand what that subtle expression on Baili Pangpang's face meant when he recommended him to come here.

He really is a great teammate...

Beside him, Yang Jian nodded in agreement, turned around, and followed Lin Qiye's steps forward.

"Seven Nights..."

Jiang Shiyuan's gaze dimmed, and she called out weakly.

Lin Qiye almost doubted that he had heard correctly. He paused, turned his head to meet Yang Jian's questioning gaze, but steeled himself and did not turn back.

Jiang Shiyuan clenched her fists, incredulous at Lin Qiye's increasingly rapid pace. Forgetting all about being emo, her voice suddenly rose:

"Lin Qiye! How dare you leave?!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian silently turned his head and glanced subtly at Lin Qiye, who was standing beside him with goosebumps.

Well, it seems like his brother has a rather low status in the family...

Lin Qiye was also having a hard time. He had to endure the torment in his heart while also bearing the pressure from the outside world. His face was as gloomy as if someone owed him eight million.

Just as he made up his mind to run away this time, Jiang Shiyuan's voice suddenly came from behind him again.

"Please don't leave, okay? Don't force me to kneel down and beg you..."

The tone was initially firm, then softened, and the voice was low, as if the speaker had suffered a great injustice.

Lin Qiye could no longer walk.

He turned around, and the person's eyes were still filled with tears, their eyes red, clearly having cried more than once. They stood there timidly, looking at him.

Okay, he felt a little sorry for him...

Yang Jian, who was standing nearby, saw the two of them staring at each other again and couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead, speechless with emotion.

He was like a giant light bulb, shining a light that no one paid attention to.

As for his brother? Four words to describe him: hopeless!

"Don't move!"

At the end of the road, Jiang Shiyuan walked towards Lin Qiye with a wronged expression.

Lin Qiye was silent and conflicted. He wanted to leave, but his body was against his will.

Yang Jian saw his brother standing rooted to the spot, shook his head, and understood.

"Brother, if you and...she have something to say, then I have some things to do and will have to leave now."

Yang Jian's words were a jumbled mess, and he even paused when he got to the form of address. Fortunately, Lin Qiye wasn't in the mood to think about such things right now, so he nodded slightly, which was considered as acquiescing to his departure.

Yang Jian didn't waste any words, nodded, and left.

As he left, he was still struggling with the question of how he should address the girl the next time they met.

His brother's attitude towards this girl is so firm, so he must be determined to be with her for life. Therefore, this girl will definitely become his... sister-in-law?

The problem is that the two are not married yet, so it seems a bit strange to call her sister-in-law now.

Never mind, I'll just call you by your name next time.

If others knew that this might be the reason why the mighty God of Justice was so troubled by this matter, they would probably be astonished.

……

After Yang Jian left, only the two of them remained in this space.

Jiang Shiyuan wasn't far from Lin Qiye, only a minute's walk away. She kept a close eye on him, afraid that he might slip away at any moment.

Why did you leave as soon as you saw me? You...you really don't want to see me again?

Faced with those watery eyes, Lin Qiye rubbed his forehead in exasperation, unsure how to answer this potentially disastrous question.

"You don't really want to break up, do you?!" Jiang Shiyuan exclaimed anxiously.

"I've never even considered that," Lin Qiye replied helplessly, his breath catching in his throat.

"That's good." Ignoring Lin Qiye's weak resistance, Jiang Shiyuan took his hand and said sincerely, "Qiye, I know I was wrong."

"...You're not wrong." Lin Qiye had no idea what was going on.

"You're just saying that." Jiang Shiyuan shook her head and lowered her head to put her hand into Lin Qiye's loose hand.

"Whatever you want." Lin Qiye let Jiang Shiyuan wrap her hand in his, showing no emotion.

Jiang Shiyuan was prepared that Lin Qiye wouldn't believe her. After confirming that her hand was properly held by Lin Qiye, she used her other hand to pull him towards the octagonal pavilion. "I have a mouth now, so it's only right that I admit my mistakes. I want to have a long talk with you all night long!"

Lin Qiye looked heartbroken. After being stopped, he was completely dejected, exuding an air of utter despondency.

He did not resist, but slowly moved his feet in accordance with the force.

Occasionally, he would lower his head and casually glance at Jiang Shiyuan's fair profile.

Judging from their posture, their intimacy is no different from before.

but……

He sighed inwardly. Perhaps he should back down gracefully and let himself savor those feelings of resentment and bitterness alone.

This is enough.

……

……

In the pavilion.

Lin Qiye was pulled by Jiang Shiyuan to sit at the table. He glanced at the tabletop, where a plate of fruit brimming with spiritual energy was placed.

On one corner of the table, fruit pits and scraps were gathered together, not yet disposed of.

Lin Qiye stared intently at the pitiful pear, a knowing glint in his eyes.

Jiang Shiyuan, who was holding Lin Qiye's hand, noticed what he was looking at and explained embarrassedly, "There wasn't a trash can or anything here, so I was thinking of looking for one by the roadside. I didn't expect to see you as soon as I stepped out of the pavilion, and then you turned around and left..."

As she finished speaking, her voice lowered again.

Lin Qiye: “…”

Why are we bringing this up again?

He pursed his lips and used some force to pull his hand out.

“You…” Jiang Shiyuan looked down at her empty hands.

Before I knew it, tears were welling up in my eyes again.

But soon, she stubbornly shoved her hand back, saying, "I know you hate me right now, but that's okay, I can stand it."

"I don't hate you." Lin Qiye withdrew his hand again, still maintaining his calm and composed demeanor.

"You hate me." Jiang Shiyuan sensed Lin Qiye's resistance and lowered her head in disappointment.

"Your hands are dirty." Lin Qiye was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk much, so he uttered four words succinctly.

He thought he was stating the facts, but he never expected that Jiang Shiyuan's eyes would widen upon hearing this, and he would feel as if the sky had fallen.

You're calling me dirty?!

The tears that had been building up finally burst forth.

"What did I do that's dirty? I know I was wrong, and I won't complain if you hit me or scold me, but what right do you have to insult me?"

"We've only been apart for a few hours, and you're already saying this about me? Men are all such jerks, you can't trust them at all!"

She had been woken up by Baili Pangpang's scolding and was mentally prepared to be met with indifference, but she neither fell in love with someone else nor had any physical relationship with anyone else during their relationship.

Even in the worst-case scenario of a conflict, she would simply ignore Lin Qiye. In comparison, it was just a quarrel, yet Lin Qiye actually called her dirty—the difference is just too great!

"I tolerated you being a gigolo before, but now that you've gained power, you've actually insulted my character. Is this the price I pay for trying to win you back?"

"Lin Qiye, let me tell you, PUA tactics won't work on me. I have my bottom line!"

Lin Qiye's lips twitched. "What have you been imagining this time?"

Before he could say a word, Jiang Shiyuan, looking aggrieved, rambled on and on, saying that she had previously said she would let the male prostitute go.

Forget it, after being a gigolo for two days, he'll never be able to hold his head up high in front of her again.

Hey……

"You think I'm just making things up and being unreasonable? Aren't I telling the truth?" Jiang Shiyuan didn't know what Lin Qiye was thinking, and her eyes were filled with grievance as she spoke.

"I only did it for two days, and when we were drinking, I was at least five meters away from them. I already explained that to you." Lin Qiye felt even more helpless. He vaguely felt that he had fallen into a difficult situation of self-justification again.

"Even if it's just for a day, it's still a crime! You always boast about upholding male virtues, but you've been drinking with other men. What's the difference between you and a fraudster?" Jiang Shiyuan turned away angrily.

"At the time, I only saw myself as a psychologist. It really wasn't intentional. Okay, I admit it was my fault..."

Without realizing it, Lin Qiye's hand had already subconsciously reached out to pull the person close and comfort them.

But just as he was about to touch Jiang Shiyuan's shoulder, he stopped.

wrong.

Looking at his hands, Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.

Wait a minute, what's going on today?

A few seconds later, he looked up slowly and said, "So, even though you seem to have forgiven me on the surface, you're still bothered by it deep down, aren't you? In your heart, I'm the one who's tainted?"

"I didn't say that, but so what if I do mind? I'm just jealous from afar. Is it only you who can bring up old grievances, but I can't?!"

Just like you regret doing something wrong in order to make some money, I can't take back my previous aloof attitude, which is why I'm sitting here trying to win you back..." Jiang Shiyuan turned her head indignantly.

Lin Qiye sat there quietly without saying a word.

Seeing the anger fade from Jiang Shiyuan's face, her mind regain its rationality, and her expression return to blankness, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"There's no need to explain so much. When we were in the 'human circle,' I could sense that there was a time when you really wanted to leave me. So, I've always understood your thoughts, and I truly regret it."

As for saying your hands were dirty, it was just dirty in the literal sense.

A magical glow flashed across his body, and a ball of water appeared in his palm. After hesitating for a moment, he did not make direct contact with Jiang Shiyuan, but instead manipulated the clear water ball to envelop Jiang Shiyuan's hands, which were sticky from the pear juice.

The cool touch instantly calmed Jiang Shiyuan down. She looked at the dried pear juice on her hands as it was washed away, and she got goosebumps all over.

She knew she was prone to making mistakes when facing Lin Qiye, and sure enough, what she feared most came to pass.

"Okay, maybe I have to admit that I am actually a very possessive person. I care to death, but I'm just stubborn."

But like I said before, what's past is past. I said I'm letting you go, and I really mean it. Please don't overthink it; I'm begging you.

Lin Qiye was originally a sensitive person, and after being with her, he often seemed to be heading towards becoming ruthless. Jiang Shiyuan really hated her own sharp tongue.

As for the gigolo thing, Lin Qiye was just going along with the plot. Besides, he didn't have any bad intentions. At most, he just sensed something was wrong but couldn't figure it out, so he just took a chance.

So it's impossible for Jiang Shiyuan to be completely unconcerned, but she wasn't so bothered as to hold onto it.

Moreover, she had already chosen the Feather Palace, experienced the red rose of a mafia boss, and even taught Lin Qiye a profound lesson.

We've taken revenge on everyone we could, what else can she do? We can't exactly make her work as a PR person for a couple of days, can we?

She really couldn't do that, after all, she's never been good at serving people and can't endure that kind of hardship.

Thinking of this, knowing she shouldn't bring up the past, she glanced at Lin Qiye's unpleasant expression, sneaked over, and smiled ingratiatingly, "I forgot that my hands were sticky with pear juice. I misunderstood you. I apologize. If you want to punish me, I will definitely accept it."

Lin Qiye silently shook his head, washed his hands, and continued to maintain his indifferent and detached persona, as if he were carrying some kind of mission.

"Don't stay silent! I'll tell you the truth. I'm not only extremely possessive and stubborn, but I'm also easily anxious and tend to overthink. If you keep acting like this, I'll start to have all sorts of wild thoughts." Jiang Shiyuan was really going all out, revealing all her secrets.

"I just... don't know what to say." Lin Qiye didn't look at her, his voice hoarse.

Jiang Shiyuan thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "If you don't know what to say, then you don't need to say anything."

She grabbed Lin Qiye's chin, sat directly on his lap, and tried to resolve the conflict with a kiss.

"Do not……"

The action came suddenly, and Lin Qiye leaned back in resistance.

His remaining rationality told him that liking her didn't mean that every time she kissed him, he could let everything slide.
