Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes

Jiang Shiyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly interrupted Lin Qiye's thoughts, "Actually, you're really overthinking things and misunderstood me! Everyone is great. I just felt that if I were to leave your team in the future, it would be better not to join in the first place. You and Pangpang are really something, you know so much about me and you keep asking me questions, you've confused me!"

"Why do you think you'll leave my team?" Lin Qiye grasped the key point.

"Because!" Because you're so great, bro, I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you.

Jiang Shiyuan suddenly calmed down. This was terrifying! Her first thought was actually this! Love-struck thinking was truly terrifying; it had actually eroded her rationality! Indeed, men were no good; they were toxic!

She should have realized long ago that Lin Qiye would never abandon any friend. If a teammate was in trouble, he would never sit idly by. So, knowing that she really wanted to join but was making excuses, he would definitely get to the bottom of it and try to help her solve her problems.

If that's the case, why is she putting herself in such a tense standoff with Lin Qiye here?

Refusing any further would only make her behavior seem even stranger, as if she were being threatened. Rather than making things worse, it would be better to go along with it, dispel Lin Qiye's doubts, and preserve her own dignity.

She's being too dramatic. Just because she might fall for Lin Qiye in the future, she's giving up joining the famous "Nightfall" team. That's such a waste! They're the main characters!

"Oh, actually I really want to be in the same team as you guys."

Jiang Shiyuan suddenly changed her expression, cupping her face in her hands as if she didn't know what to do, "But I've been taken care of by my seniors, I really don't know how to leave~"

"Nanaya, I'm sorry to have worried you, but my morals are too strong. If I'm going to leave, I should at least wait until I've said goodbye to my seniors properly and made things clear before joining your team, right?"

Her fair face was framed by a pair of large, watery eyes that shone brightly in the morning sun, brimming with sincerity. They looked like they couldn't lie. Jiang Shiyuan pouted slightly, her brows furrowed, and asked pitifully, "Qi Ye, can you understand me?"

"I... I'll try my best to understand?" Lin Qiye coughed lightly, feeling a little awkward. Why did he find Jiang Shiyuan somewhat adorable right now? Was it because he was in a better mood?

“But I’ve figured it out now. Senior Xia and the others said long ago that I was only staying in their team temporarily, so they should have been prepared.” Jiang Shiyuan looked like she had figured it out. “Besides, Commander Ye must have already told them. I’ll go back and apologize to them later.”

After his attitude changed, Jiang Shiyuan spoke earnestly and reasonably, and Lin Qiye immediately believed him. Although he still felt a little strange, he couldn't understand it and murmured, "It seems that I was indeed overthinking things just now."

"Hehehe, yeah, yeah."

"However," Lin Qiye changed the subject, "you still haven't answered why you're suddenly so resistant to me. Did I do something wrong?"

How come you haven't forgotten about this?

"Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for too long?" Jiang Shiyuan chuckled awkwardly.

"But your attitude changed before I even went to the fasting place. Was it because of what I did that day?"

"Qi Ye!" Jiang Shiyuan interrupted Lin Qi Ye, "There's no need to bring up the past. Fatty and the others are getting impatient down there. Besides, I haven't even put my fingerprint on the application for selling myself—oh no, I haven't done it yet. Let's go down quickly."

“That’s true.” Lin Qiye nodded. “Then I’ll go down and give you the application form.”

Jiang Shiyuan successfully changed the subject, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded, "Okay."

Fortunately, Lin Qiye is an emotional idiot. After all, Sanjiu's characterization of him is that he has high IQ but low EQ. Although he discovered something was wrong today, he probably can't figure it out on his own.

So it seems like she should just find a boyfriend. Once she falls in love, she won't have time to think about these things anymore, and she can just let her love-struck mind run wild...

Lin Qiye looked at Jiang Shiyuan, whose expression kept changing, and asked suspiciously, "What are you thinking about?"

"Um... I think Fatty and the others must be getting impatient. Let's hurry down."

"I understand," Jiang Shiyuan felt she had completely figured it out, her expression returned to normal, and she smiled at Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye manipulated [Yaoguang] back to the ice ship.

"Shi Yuan, Qi Ye, how did your talk go?" Baili Pangpang rushed up excitedly.

"It's nothing, just a small misunderstanding." Jiang Shiyuan gestured with her hand, indicating a small gap. "I've already agreed to join Qiye's reserve team, so we'll be teammates from now on~"

"Really! Then we have five people now, just one short of Commander Ye's minimum requirement."

Baili Pangpang happily counted on his fingers, but suddenly his mood plummeted again, "If only Brother Zhai were here..."

Lin Qiye handed the application form for reserve team members that he had just retrieved back to Jiang Shiyuan, and said to Baili Pangpang with a smile, "Shen Qingzhu has a bright future in the capital. I wonder if he would like to join us. But I will ask him when we return to the mainland."

"Seven Nights, you can't ask anymore, Brother Zhai has disappeared..."

Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan recounted the events of the day Shen Qingzhu disappeared to Lin Qiye in detail.

Jiang Shiyuan, clutching the application form, looked toward the fasting center.

The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, and the fasting place was long gone. But she knew that Shen Qingzhu might still be on that island, or even sitting right next to the sea they had left, watching them go.

Sigh... Being an undercover agent isn't easy. I wonder if my arrogant brother will arouse [Yiyu's] suspicion when I go back today. I hope things go smoothly like in the novel.

Lin Qiye hadn't expected that such a big thing would happen in order to save him. He pondered for a moment, "I think your guess is correct. Shen Qingzhu should be somewhere outside of Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Your family has so much power, you can continue to investigate. Maybe you can find some clues. As long as there is a clue, we can follow the clues to find him."

Since Shen Qingzhu himself did not appear and they had no clues, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, a huge undertaking. Lin Qiye and the others had no choice but to do missions while searching for his whereabouts.

Jiang Shiyuan withdrew her gaze. Ah, he's right here... He just has his own thoughts and can't acknowledge us yet...

But one day, we will meet again.

Jiang Shiyuan borrowed a straight knife from Cao Yuan, and gently ran her finger along the blade. Only two drops of blood oozed from the tiny wound, which was then healed by Cai Wenji's passive ability. She used these two drops of blood as a mark to press down on the application form for the alternative squad.

Jiang Shiyuan returned the application form with the bright red fingerprint to Lin Qiye, sighed, and said that once the fingerprint was pressed, there was no turning back. What followed was a life of hardship, just like signing a contract to sell oneself into servitude.
