Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 236: Bold demon! I could tell you weren’t human at a glance! Although Lin Qingyan wanted to forget Lucas Reeve, she couldn’t get him out of her mind. Sometimes, when she slept at night, she would even repeatedly dream of the scene where she first met Lucas in the wilderness.

She had to admit it.

That Divine Fragment...

Had a very comfortable feeling about him, especially those eyes.

Lin Qingyan had met many, many people. She was surrounded by children of noble families of similar age, but she had never met anyone whose eyes were as clear and deep as Lucas’s.

Although, Lin Qingyan constantly reminded herself in her heart.

That’s because he’s a Divine Fragment!!

A god’s lifespan is limitless.

He looked to be the same age as her, but in reality, who knew if he was an old monster thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. An old monster like that could easily be her ancestor.

However.

The more she resisted it in her heart, the more easily Lin Qingyan dreamed of Lucas.

Because of this, Lin Qingyan had even consulted her Senior Sister, with whom she had a deep relationship and who specialized in spiritual matters. The answer she received was...

Your friend... is in love.

Of course, Lin Qingyan blushed furiously and retorted. After all, the total time she had known Lucas added up to only a few days. How could she fall in love in just a few days?

Lin Qingyan was already in her twenties but had never been in a relationship.

In her eyes, love was sacred.

It was the process of a man and a woman who knew each other gradually evolving from friends to lovers, a long road that often took years, culminating in marriage and spending the rest of their lives together.

In Lin Qingyan’s view, these were the steps of love.

However.

Faced with Lin Qingyan’s doubts, her Senior Sister just giggled and then said.

”What are you thinking, Qingyan? Have you been reading too many female-oriented romance novels?”

”Real-life romance isn’t as sweet and wonderful as it’s written in novels. In fact, most real-life romance is just love at first sight. Basically, if two people meet a few times and still don’t have any thoughts of falling in love, it means that no matter how hard they try later, it will be difficult for a passionate love to develop between them. At best... they’re just partners living together.”

”That friend of yours... it’s not you, is it, Qingyan?”

At that, Lin Qingyan blushed and quickly denied it.

Love..

Love...

I’m in love?

How is that possible!!

However, it was a bit of a pity for Lin Qingyan. Even if she really was in love, so what? Lucas Reeve probably wouldn’t come to Yan again in the future. It was basically impossible for them to meet again in this lifetime.

I’ll just assume I’ve fallen for him.

Lin Qingyan sighed.

At least this fulfilled her small regret of never having liked anyone before. It’s just that this one-sided love would certainly have no ending. Anyway, it was 100% certain they would never meet again... right.

Red Sleeve Court.

Lin Qingyan looked at Lucas Reeve standing in front of her, completely lost in shock. This handsome face, which she had dreamed of so many times, had appeared before her again, making her feel as if she were in a dream, especially that pair of deep, dark eyes...

It was still that same feeling...

They looked so comfortable...

No, no!!

Why is he in a pleasure house?!!

This feeling was... somewhat strange.

It was like you really liked a boy, but he was from another country and you’d basically never see him again. Then, after pining for him, you finally meet him again by chance... only it’s during a vice raid. That was, more or less, a bit awkward.

”Lucas Reeve!!”

Lin Qingyan called out his name.

But Lucas just smiled and nodded.

Her Constable colleagues beside her looked quizzically at this young lady, a Celestial Master from the Dali Temple sent by the imperial court.

”Long time no see, Miss Qingyan.”

Lucas took the initiative to greet Lin Qingyan, showing no awkwardness whatsoever. This was because Lucas had long guessed they would meet. After all, when he was able to peek at the causal threads, Lucas had also taken a look at his own.

The causal thread between him and Lin Qingyan had not disappeared, meaning they would meet again one day. So, when they arrived in Yan, Lucas felt that they might run into Lin Qingyan somewhere. He just didn’t expect it to be so soon.

”Miss Lin Qingyan, we meet again! Here to eat too?”

Nian waved at Lin Qingyan.

Surtr also nodded at Lin Qingyan as a greeting.
