Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

Kal’tsit thinks she knows everything, acting like a Riddler all day. I can’t believe there’s finally something Kal’tsit doesn’t know that I do. This time when I go back, I’m going to act like a Riddler in front of Kal’tsit too!!

Lin Qingyan was also a bit stunned. She never expected a god to use a sword style.

After all, according to what her master had taught her, Divine Fragments, including the gods themselves, had mastered rules to a certain extent. Within that rule, on the same level, a god was nearly invincible unless someone broke through with overwhelming force.

Take Nian’s forging, for example.

Even in all of Yan, there was probably no second person whose forging skill was higher than Nian’s.

But a god who directly used mortal sword techniques? Frankly, Lin Qingyan had never heard of such a thing.

And...

This sword style was truly a bit beautiful.

Finally.

With the final slash.

The Qichang were reduced to broken fragments on the ground by Lucas Reeve’s attack. Lucas Reeve separated from Surtr and returned to his own body, clutching his head and complaining.

”Nian, couldn’t you have propped my body up a bit? I fell straight back and hit my head on a rock just now.”

”It’s fine.”

Nian waved her hand dismissively.

But Closure curiously ran to Lucas Reeve’s side.

”Doctor, Doctor!! You’re a god??”

”Um...”

Lucas Reeve glanced at Nian beside him and slowly nodded.

”Does Kal’tsit know??”

This was what Closure cared about most.

”Probably not.”

Hearing this.

Closure let out a huge sigh of relief. It was for the best that Kal’tsit didn’t know. To think she would see the day she knew a secret that Kal’tsit didn’t.

”Don’t tell Kal’tsit when we get back, okay? This is a secret between us.”

Lucas Reeve patted Closure on the shoulder, but Closure showed a slightly wicked smile.

”As a merchant, I believe in equal exchange. I’ll keep your secret for you, so what compensation will you give me?”

In an instant.

The crafty merchant’s smile reappeared.

”How about this, you give me a little...”

Before Closure could finish.

A kind smile had already appeared on Lucas Reeve’s face as he cut in.

”My compensation, of course, is getting you back to Rhodes Island safely. Otherwise, the next time there are enemies like this, I might pretend I didn’t see them.”

”Tsk...”

Closure clicked her tongue. ”You’re mean, Doctor. Fine, I’ll consider this a freebie. I’ll definitely keep your secret. After all, you’ve helped me make a lot of money.”

Now that the Qichang were dealt with.

The group prepared to continue on to the nearby village. However, before they left, they ran into a problem.

What to do with Lin Qingyan?

Her thigh was injured, and her internal organs were also damaged and bleeding. Not only was her combat effectiveness compromised, but even walking was a problem. But this was the wilderness, and Qichang had just appeared. Who knew what other strange things might show up after Lucas Reeve and the others left.

Although her colleagues might come, who knew how long that would take out here in the middle of nowhere.

Lin Qingyan turned her face away, not looking at anyone, and didn’t make a sound.

Her sassy and beautiful face now had a touch of gentleness and pitifulness.

Only Lin Qingyan herself knew.

This area was quite remote. It would take a long time to get to the nearest government office. Moreover, her strength was considered quite good even in the Dali Temple, so everyone had complete faith in her abilities. A mere demon beast of average strength in a small village should be something she could kill with a single Lightning Art. How could anything have gone wrong?

But.

Even the most capable people have their off days.

And today, Lin Qingyan had one.

”How about we carry her with us? The village isn’t far anyway. After we finish our trade for the Orirock, we can just take her to the nearest government office. It’s basically on our way.”

Closure suggested.

”Hmph...”

Surtr huffed and took a step back, her meaning clear.

There was no way she was carrying this woman.

Closure also took a step back.

”Don’t look at me. I’m only a bit over 150cm tall, and Miss Lin Qingyan is 170cm. I can’t carry her.”

Nian suddenly smiled.

”I think Miss Lin Qingyan, as an official of the Dali Temple, would be very wary of a Sui fragment like me. She would never let me carry her.”

Nian took half a step back. Now, only Lucas Reeve was left standing at the front.

”Sigh...”

Lucas Reeve let out a heavy sigh.

He walked up and asked.
