What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

Even if everything goes smoothly tonight and nothing happens, they will be cleverly arranged to meet and have a conversation another day for some other reason.

Gu Yuqiu didn't care about these things, but she cared about other things.

She glanced around and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."

In the past, she certainly wouldn't have cared about such things; she could remain calm even in worse circumstances. But now, there's really no need.

Hearing this, Su Yan suddenly fell silent, but finally hummed in agreement.

Before leaving, she finished the glass of wine.

……

……

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, the police maintaining the cordon rushed up to her. Lin Mushi walked over naturally and explained what had happened.

She didn't know when it started, but she had gotten used to doing these trivial things for Gu Yuqiu and rarely felt annoyed.

Looking at Su Yan walking alone ahead, Lin Mushi asked softly, "Who is she?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "Messenger of natural disaster."

Lin Mushi hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "And who is Su Yan's teacher?"

That was the question she was most curious about.

However, this might involve Gu Yuqiu's secret, and if she hadn't gotten to know her better over the past few days, she definitely wouldn't have asked this question.

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said seriously, "I really don't know who her teacher is."

Lin Mushi was stunned, because she could tell that what she said was true.

She snapped out of her daze, looked at Su Yan's back, and thought to herself, "You seem so arrogant, but you're actually a liar who doesn't even blink when you lie."

"So, are you going to take this person home?"

Lin Mushi suddenly asked.

Gu Yuqiu thought that if she really brought it home, Songtang would probably be so scared that it would explode. She shook her head and said, "Of course not."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mushi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she wondered blankly why she had let out this sigh of relief.

……

……

The final conversation took place in a coffee shop.

Perhaps because it was lunchtime, there were relatively few people in the restaurant, making it quite quiet.

Su Yan chose a seat by the window and looked at Lin Mushi, saying, "Could you please order for me and her?"

Lin Mushi nodded, and was about to ask a question when she heard a sentence.

"What I mean is that you should step aside and give us space to talk."

The person speaking was naturally Gu Yuqiu.

Lin Mushi rolled her eyes at her, stood up somewhat angrily, and walked towards the bar.

Perhaps somewhat surprised by this directness, Su Yan stared at Gu Yuqiu for a while before asking her first question: "What is your relationship with that person?"

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, she was certain that Gu Yuqiu understood who she was referring to.

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering if her previous name was really that bad.

Why insist on using terms like "that person" and "that person," which sound completely nonsensical?

From the moment she opened her eyes months ago until this very second, she still couldn't understand why this was happening.

"A very complicated relationship."

Gu Yuqiu said, "It's too complicated to explain and would take a long time, so there's no need for that."

Su Yan looked at her quietly, confirming that it was true, and then said, "Then do you know who I am, and my relationship with that person?"

Gu Yuqiu didn't answer, but instead asked, "I'd like to know why you like to use that person as a form of address?"

Before she left her throne, people never called her that. Why did they have to keep it a secret after she left?

"It's very simple."

Su Yan smiled and said, "This is a matter from top to bottom. As for why the people sitting up there call him that, it's because they don't want that person to return."

Gu Yuqiu asked, "Returned?"

Su Yan looked out at the bustling scene outside the window and said softly, "Because many people are afraid that if they say that person's name too much, that person will come back to life, causing humanity to be wiped out in the most desperate way."

Gu Yuqiu remained calm and said, "Is that so?"

"Or else?"

Su Yan said, "If that person didn't have such a tendency, why would we regard the first person to reach the top of the Ascension Street as an evil god?"

Gu Yuqiu hummed in response, without saying anything further.

Su Yan said, "I'm very curious."

She withdrew her gaze, stared into Gu Yuqiu's eyes, and smiled, saying, "You dare to admit to me that you have a relationship with that person? Aren't you afraid I'll just kill you?"

Gu Yuqiu had naturally thought about this question, and she had thought about it a long time ago.

"You won't."

"What's the reason?"

Su Yan's smile gradually faded.

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "Because you were her anchor point in this world."

Chapter 23: Even Evil Gods Have Friends

Many days ago, Gu Yuqiu told the chosen one of the Church of the Sleeping Spirits that the gods of this world do not need faith.

If God loves the world, it is because God truly loves the world, and it has nothing to do with any personal gain.

However, Gu and Qiu are ultimately different.

From any perspective, she is a guest in this world, and even becoming a god cannot change this fact.

Alone in a foreign land, I am a stranger.

This was undoubtedly a very difficult thing, especially the first few days she experienced, which were devoid of any gentleness and were nothing like the last ten days or so.

In such a situation, anyone would gradually become indifferent, until they become completely inhuman.

Gu Yuqiu didn't head in that direction because she made a friend along the way.

So she left an anchor point in this completely unfamiliar world.

That friend's name today is Su Yan.

……

……

Su Yan understood Gu Yuqiu's meaning, and after a moment of silence, she finally admitted the truth.

"Since you can say that, then I really won't kill you, because that person is my friend, and I don't have many friends."

She said softly, "But all of this is on one condition: I need you to give me a promise."

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said, "I can't share the same thoughts as her, can I?"

Su Yan was somewhat surprised. After giving her a deep look, she hummed in agreement.

Gu Yuqiu replied without hesitation, "Okay."

The reason she agreed was simple, just as she had told the white cat: the previous path could not fulfill her original aspirations, so she resolutely left the throne and walked the steps to the throne again.

For Gu Yuqiu, this promise was nothing special.

Gu Yuqiu then said, "Actually, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."

That night, after she took out the sacred relic called Pardon, tonight's meeting was inevitable; the only difference was sooner or later.

Because that ring was forged from Su Yan's beliefs.

When the Special Affairs Bureau decides to investigate her, and follows her lead to the Messenger of Disaster, Su Yan will surely learn of her existence and then come to Xin Chu.

These are all part of the plan.

The only thing that surprised her was that Su Yan arrived too quickly, which was unusual, even if it was just an avatar.

“I have a good credit record, and people are willing to trust me.”

Su Yan said calmly, "Of course, the most important thing is that the situation in Xin Chu is becoming increasingly tense. No one knows what will happen. The Special Affairs Bureau, as well as the people above and the government, all care about the lives of ordinary people. That's why I was able to come so quickly, even though I had to hide my identity."

Gu Yuqiu thought about it and realized that it was her own problem; she had forgotten where she was.

Before she could speak, Su Yan asked directly, "So what are you going to get in return for this promise?"

Gu Yuqiu knew her temperament well and had been waiting for her to say this, so she said, "Identity."

"can."

Su Yan calmly said, "Whoever investigates, I will acknowledge it and ensure your identity remains untainted. Are there any other conditions?"

Gu Yuqiu said, "No, for the time being."

After saying this, she looked into the distance and glanced at Lin Mushi, who was getting impatient.

Su Yan noticed her gaze and was somewhat surprised. She asked, "One last question, why did that person choose you as their successor?"

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "What's the point of asking this?"

"It's very simple."

She met Su Yan's gaze calmly and said indifferently, "Because I am good-looking, exceptionally talented, and resolute in character; I am impeccable in every way."

Su Yan opened her mouth slightly, unable to speak for a long time, thinking to herself, "How can you be more narcissistic than me?"

After what seemed like an eternity, she finally came to her senses and said in a complicated tone, "I don't think any of this is important."
