Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes

With Shen Qingzhu backing down, the tense atmosphere in the cabin instantly dissipated, and those nonsensical questions from before seemed to have never occurred.

Normally, Jiang Shiyuan should have breathed a sigh of relief in this situation, but when she looked at Shen Qingzhu's profile, she couldn't help but frown.

Shen Qingzhu's talent and strength are beyond doubt, but there are differences even among geniuses, and that's just how cruel reality is.

Everyone started on the same footing, and no one has stopped growing over the years. In fact, they are not that different in terms of their level. But in this team, not only Lin Qiye, An Qingyu, and Baili Pangpang, but even she herself is a beneficiary of the system.

Comparing geniuses to people who seem to have cheat codes is unfair; some things simply cannot be balanced by talent and hard work alone.

Jiang Er could still be considered young, but she couldn't help but feel that she was the worst in the group, let alone the strong-willed Shen Qingzhu.

This trip with Michael to find the Ark of the Covenant, despite the many unpleasant things that happened along the way, can be considered Shen Qingzhu's greatest opportunity.

The power of origin is the opportunity for Shen Qingzhu's transformation...

If she were to intervene, would it be a good or bad outcome for Shen Qingzhu?

Just as Jiang Shiyuan was losing her mind, a pair of warm hands touched her face, and the next second, her gaze was forced to meet a pair of slowly curving eyes.

Lin Qiye's face was covered by her completely, only revealing half of his high nose bridge and his eyes that shone like stars.

From the moment she refused to speak to him, he truly sat quietly until Jiang Shiyuan stared at Shen Qingzhu in a daze, at which point he made a move to assert his presence.

"Sorry." Jiang Shiyuan snapped out of her daze, noticing the damp breath from Lin Qiye on her palm, and withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassedly.

Seemingly feeling that a dry apology was too perfunctory, she thought for a moment and then leaned down to kiss Lin Qiye's lips to express her apology.

Lin Qiye was quite pleased with her actions, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

He placed her still-damp hand in his own and asked, "You've been paying a lot of attention to Zhai Ge lately, what's wrong?"

Jiang Shiyuan was a little surprised. Was her attitude that obvious?

However, upon further reflection, it was clear that her mood changes could not be hidden from Lin Qiye, and her two conversations with Shen Qingzhu were indeed somewhat deliberate, so it was reasonable for Lin Qiye to connect the two.

"Do I care...maybe, but to be more precise, I'm confused about whether or not I should do certain things."

She was fine when she was alone with her own worries, but when Lin Qiye noticed her troubles, she could no longer suppress her urge to confide in him.

She frowned in distress, her tone tinged with frustration, "I guess this is just my usual state of confusion. I thought that the more things I experienced, the more open-minded I would become, but I didn't expect that after so long I still haven't made any progress."

Lin Qiye and Jiang Shiyuan had developed a tacit understanding and almost instantly understood what she was thinking, feeling a little sorry for her self-deprecating tone.

"You only hesitate when you care about the outcome. Shi Yuan, I would feel the same way if I were doing the same thing that you are confused about. You have done enough. Don't be too hard on yourself."

In the end, Jiang Shiyuan has only been a member of the Night Watch for a few years. She is in her early twenties and her youthful innocence has not yet completely faded. It would be too much to ask her to be mature enough to do everything perfectly and not even have time to doubt herself.

“Seven Nights, you don’t understand. If having the upper hand only makes things worse, then I really don’t know what the point of my existence is.” Jiang Shiyuan exhaled and turned to look at the rolling waves.

In the constantly rocking cabin, she had a vague feeling that she was the small boat, drifting in the mist, and would sink to the bottom of the sea if she was not careful.

"Shi Yuan, you..." Lin Qiye was about to say something when he saw the expression on Jiang Shi Yuan's face, and his heart skipped a beat, and his brows furrowed.

He followed her gaze and looked out the window.

For some reason, from the very beginning, all the 'mystery' in this sea area disappeared. There was no more 'mystery' attacking the ships, and the sea was unexpectedly calm.

But her expression...

"I guess I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, so I'm feeling a bit down. But Qiye, don't worry about me. I understand those principles. I'm just stuck in a rut for a moment. I'll adjust my state soon." Jiang Shiyuan didn't know what Lin Qiye was thinking. She stared at the sea for a while, then rubbed her temples wearily, trying to adjust her state.

Although Jiang Shiyuan's tone was light, Lin Qiye felt as if a wet piece of cotton was stuck in his chest, making him feel bloated and heavy, and he stared at her blankly.

Having spent so much time together, he was most sensitive to her emotional changes, and he always felt that something was amiss that he had overlooked.

Jiang Shiyuan is a person who seems emotional but is actually rational. In addition, with the Divine Ruins [Natural Will], he is naturally immune to external negative emotions. Why is he so depressed at this moment?

This isn't right.

Something is very wrong!

Lin Qiye cupped her face in his hands, scrutinizing every inch of her expression.

Jiang Shiyuan felt her scalp tingle under Lin Qiye's gaze; all her subtle emotions, both appropriate and inappropriate, were laid bare.

"W-what's wrong?" she stammered.

"Shi Yuan, don't make assumptions. The fact is that your presence didn't make things worse."

Lin Qiye spoke suddenly before Jiang Shiyuan could make any move to escape, his voice hoarse.

His gaze remained focused, fixed on Jiang Shiyuan's eyes, which seemed to have matured but still couldn't conceal their stubborn nature.

In a daze, he seemed to travel through time and space back to that rainy night.

He thought he would never forget the feeling he had when he went to find Zhao Kongcheng in the pouring rain that night and saw Zhao Kongcheng and the Ghost Face King locked in combat.

He would never forget the moment when Zhao Kongcheng blocked his way and took out the Ghost God Guide, his heart skipped a beat, and he met Jiang Shiyuan's gaze through the [Boundless Void Domain] at the alley entrance.

The black raincoat wasn't particularly noticeable in the darkness, but the eyes beneath the brim were so striking...

Bright and dazzling.

Later, after she became acquainted with Jiang Shiyuan, she jokingly told him about her conflicted state of mind before leaving home that day, out of his curiosity. After listening, he remained silent for a long time.

Judging from the distance between Jiang Shiyuan's residence and his house, perhaps while she was looking out the window at the heavy rain, debating whether or not to come to his house to find him, he was also lost in thought, unable to come to his senses, because of a bat seeking shelter from the rain.

Regardless of what each of us was thinking at the time.

In the end, she and he rushed out the door together in the same rain.

It seems as if everything is preordained.

"Shi Yuan, I am so lucky to have met you. Your existence is the greatest meaning."

Her appearance was like a ray of light, making many things different. If he was important to the world, then she was even more important to him.

Meaning is never the predetermined result, but the process we go through together.

……

In the hazy fog, a small boat continues its steadfast journey.

No one knew that a few nonsensical conversations among humans would trigger a brief moment of reflection in an angel.

In a corner deliberately ignored by the others, Michael sat quietly. When he saw Jiang Shiyuan resting her head on Lin Qiye's shoulder, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

and so……

Does Shen Qingzhu truly believe in miracles?
