Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

The waves ripple and the sea stretches to the horizon.

On the somersault cloud, Lin Qiye sat upright at the very front of the cloud. His tense emotions finally eased slightly, and a rare sense of relaxation appeared between his brows.

As they approached the fasting place, they had already entered the Master's sphere of influence. The first half of the escort journey was unexpectedly smooth, unlike the dramatic scenes on television where they frequently encountered dangerous and unexpected incidents such as the hijacking of the prison van.

"Hey bro, keep an eye on things for me for a bit."

Seeing that the path ahead was safe, Lin Qiye handed over the task of watching the way to Shen Qingzhu, moved to the tail of the cloud, and kicked Su Yan, who was lying on the cloud, lost in thought:

"What are you daydreaming about? I have something I want to tell you, and I hope we can be honest with each other..."

"Get lost, I don't treat men with honesty." Su Yan rejected him with disdain.

Lin Qiye's lips twitched twice. He sat down on his own, pondered for a moment, and then sighed softly:

"Su Yan, I know you strongly recommended me for the position of commander, thinking it would be good for my future development."

"Moreover, the next commander-in-chief will be in perfect shape. Commander Ye is renowned and powerful, and the entire council is united and cohesive. The new commander only needs to train and grow step by step to achieve lasting fame. It is simply a great opportunity bestowed by heaven."

"You know that, so why aren't you doing it? It's not like I'm sending you to the guillotine." Su Yan rolled her eyes.

"To be honest, if this were before, I would have done it without hesitation, but now I really can't muster the will," Lin Qiye said, shrugging with a bitter expression.

"In the two years since graduation, we've been going to great lengths, venturing into the heavens and the earth, exploring the realms of gods and the underworld, venturing into the fog and slaying deities. We've experienced countless dangers, often struggling on the edge of life and death, sometimes so busy that we don't even have time for a hot meal. It's been incredibly tough. But deep down, I love this kind of life. It makes life vibrant and interesting. As a child, I was used to being alone, but now I only hope to have companions and stories to tell, so that I can live a life without regrets."

"But now they're suddenly telling me that I have to go back to Beijing to sit in an office in a few years. I'm really not willing to do that."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan paused for a moment, then turned her head to look directly at Lin Qiye.

At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to have been completely drained of his energy, and he looked as dejected as a wilted eggplant.

He was slightly hunched over, staring blankly at the setting sun on the horizon. The afterglow shone on him, but it could not dispel the loneliness that surrounded him.

He paused, then suddenly looked at Su Yan and grinned:

"But even if I'm unwilling, if you insist that I have to take this commander's position, then I'll listen to you. After all, you've saved me from danger time and time again, and you've also saved my family. I trust you completely. Life, in the end, is fine however you want..."

"..." Su Yan suddenly felt a lump in her throat and guiltily looked away.

Just now, he had been plotting to bribe Commander Ye to bypass Lin Qiye's approval and force him into the candidate position. Given his current status among the Night Watchmen, Lin Qiye was powerless to resist, and he could only obediently accept the candidate position.

But Su Yan suddenly realized that she seemed to have gone too far!

Although it was done with good intentions, a big mistake was made.

You can't impose your own ideas on others; you have to understand what they want!

To him, Lin Qiye was not a fictional character, but a true friend who had been through thick and thin with him. In this life, Lin Qiye was cheerful, confident, chivalrous, and funny, and loved an exciting life. Was sending him to the capital to be a commander really a good thing for him?

This is not what Lin Qiye wanted at all!

Su Yan glanced at Lin Qiye's back again. His body was hunched over even more, as if he were about to die with the setting sun.

I'm such a bastard, I deserve to die... Su Yan wanted to slap himself twice, but because of his pride, he didn't know how to apologize.

……

At this moment, on the soul communication channel.

Lin Qiye said nervously, "Jialan, quickly check if I look okay! Please don't give it away, or I'll be beaten to death!"

"You absolutely can't use force against someone like Su Yan. You have to soften your stance, and a self-inflicted injury ruse is the most effective. Qi Ye, don't be nervous, you have to relax. Trust me, I'm a professional." Jia Lan gently comforted him for a few moments before continuing to give instructions:

"Now slowly turn your head to look at the sunset, lower your eyelids slightly, and hunch your body a little more... Imagine yourself as a corporate slave with a monthly salary of 3500, a mortgage of 2200, a daughter's tuition fees, a sick mother who is hospitalized, a wife who works two jobs to supplement the family income, and a boss who is two months behind on her salary. Yes, that's it, perfect!"

"Then you must smile broadly, not with a forced smile, but with a genuine one to move people, right? Then imagine you're walking down the street and suddenly find twenty dollars... Stop, you're too excited! Pick up fifty cents, fifty cents is just right for you... Okay, great, perfect."

"Hold on, the atmosphere's built up enough. I feel like in ten more seconds, Brother Su Yan will give in. Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"Alright, this is so annoying!" Su Yan suddenly pouted, saying with extreme impatience:

"If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Stop talking so much nonsense. There are plenty of people who want to be commanders. It won't make a difference if you're one more. I think you're destined to be a wage slave for the rest of your life."

"yeah!"

"?"

“I mean… well, that makes sense too. There are plenty of people who want to be commander.” Lin Qiye had just gotten excited when he heard Jialan scream. He quickly composed himself and asked seriously:

"Su Yan, why don't you run for commander? Isn't not running around all the time your ultimate goal?"

When Lin Qiye asked about the reason behind this, Su Yan's face was full of helplessness and worry, and he sighed and said:

"I'm not trying to shirk responsibility, there are just some things I can't say. I can only say this: improving your strength might be something you can take your time with, but for me, it's like a sword hanging over my head, ready to fall at any moment. If I can't find a solution in the short term, I might even... I might lose my life."

"What?! Why didn't you say before that someone would kill you?!" Lin Qiye's eyes widened, and he asked in a panic.

Su Yan subconsciously pinched the bridge of her nose, immersed in her own thoughts, mostly mentally calculating the opening time of the sixth door of the mental hospital as Lin Qiye's strength increased.

Before that, Su Yan had to find a way to conceal his secrets.

The Heavenly Court was out of reach. Caught in the torrent of karma, the Heavenly Venerable, though unaware of what was about to happen, sensed an ominous sign and gradually began to place his hopes on Lin Qiye.

Ultimately, you can only rely on yourself.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Yan revealed some of the pressure he was facing.
