Princess Huiming only wanted to take Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji under her control. As for the others, she didn't care at all.
However, since Qiu Tu had brought it up himself, she certainly wouldn't refuse outright.
So she gave a soft "Oh?" and then said expressionlessly, "Tell me about it."
Having received Princess Huiming's approval, Qiu Tu didn't delay any longer and went straight to the point, saying, "It's like this, Your Highness. I want to bring the God-King Shepherd back to the 'Chaos Faction'."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, even with Princess Huiming's composure, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes for a moment, and several question marks appeared above her head: ? ?
Bring the God-King of Shepherd's Heart back to the "Chaos Faction"?
Is this good news?
For a moment, Princess Huiming even wondered if Qiu Tu had said something wrong, or... if she had misheard...
However, she also knew that she and Qiu Tu were both God Kings, and their thinking was hundreds of times faster than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, Qiu Tu couldn't possibly be wrong, and I couldn't possibly have misheard...
The next second, Princess Huiming's gaze turned icy cold, and an invisible pressure emanated from her, causing the temperature in the entire hall to drop several degrees.
Her cold eyes were fixed on Qiu Tu.
"Qiu Tu," her voice was devoid of emotion, yet carried a chilling coldness, "Are you playing me?"

The main hall was empty, and the long black jade table gleamed with a cold, eerie light. The invisible pressure emanating from Princess Huiming made the air seem to freeze into ice crystals, chilling to the bone.
But Qiu Tu acted as if nothing had happened, not caring at all.
Faced with the wrath of Princess Huiming, his face showed no sign of tension from being forced by the pressure; instead, it exuded a sense of composure and sincerity.
He slowly shook his head, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty... even if I had the greatest courage, how could I dare to play tricks on you?"
"I assure you, everything I've said is true."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Huiming gave him a deep look but remained silent.
Princess Huiming hadn't forgotten that the man before her had once transformed into the Cloud Cat God King, lurking by her side. Then, he slept in her bed, nestled in her arms, and even brazenly stayed by her side while she changed clothes.
Those seemingly unintentional touches, the feeling of those warm and soft pads of flesh stepping on her skin, still make her feel somewhat uncomfortable when she thinks about them now.
If it weren't for the fact that he was indeed talented and the woman beside him was truly exceptional, Princess Huiming would have slapped him to death long ago.
If his behavior of taking full advantage of others doesn't count as playing tricks on himself, then no one in the world would dare to play tricks on themselves.
Thinking of this, Princess Huiming's gaze towards Qiu Tu turned colder.
However, she also knew that Qiu Tu was a man who planned things out before acting and never fought a battle he couldn't win.
Since he dared to say that, he must have left himself a backup plan to make amends.
Therefore, the way he is communicating with me now is clearly a deliberate attempt to provoke my emotions and influence my judgment.
In just a few seconds, Princess Huiming had figured out all of Qiu Tu's thoughts.
This also helped her calm down quickly.
After adjusting her mindset, Princess Huiming couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu with her usually icy expression, wanting to see how he would perform next.
At this moment, Qiu Tu naturally noticed the scrutiny and suspicion in Princess Huiming's eyes, but he didn't care much.
the reason is simple.
Using emotional manipulation as a tactic is a calculated, open strategy.
Princess Huiming's emotions have already been manipulated by him, so even if she realizes something is wrong now, the manipulation of emotions has been completed and the desired effect has been achieved, which will still affect what happens next.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at the Radiant Princess who remained silent and looked at him with an air of authority.
Meeting Princess Huiming's phoenix eyes, which seemed to see through everything, Qiu Tu spoke calmly, "Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, I have come here today truly to resolve this matter for you."
He paused, then his tone became serious, "Please don't think I was exaggerating."
"I sensed the danger in this matter, which is why I risked everything to sneak over and warn you."
Hearing Qiu Tu's repeated assurances, Princess Huiming finally reacted. She let out a soft "Oh?" Her dark eyelashes trembled slightly, but her gaze remained indifferent, making it impossible to tell whether she truly believed him or not.
Qiu Tu didn't care at all. He continued, "I know you don't believe me. But I'll tell you one detail, and I believe you'll understand."
He leaned forward slightly, looking at Princess Huiming with cold, stern eyes.
"Don't you think... the situation in 'Chaotic Western Capital' is deteriorating a little too quickly?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Huiming's slender fingers, which were resting on the long black jade table, paused almost imperceptibly.
She didn't show it on her face, but she frowned slightly inwardly.
Qiu Tu didn't notice the change in Princess Huiming's emotions, but that didn't affect his analysis, so he continued.
“I am aware of your entire plan, and I also know your ability to control the situation across the entire ‘Ancient Continent’.”
"According to your original plan, 'Chaotic Western Capital' would definitely have been captured 100%, but... it shouldn't have been now, and certainly not in this near-collapse manner."
A thoughtful look finally appeared in Princess Huiming's eyes.
Qiu Tu said, "After all, this is not in the interest of 'Destroying the Royal Court'."
"Exacerbating the conflict at such an early stage will only make the situation spiral out of control, and will bring nothing but harm to the 'Royal Court'."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Huiming raised her eyes slightly.
Her phoenix eyes, which had looked down upon all living beings, finally met Qiu Tu's gaze, and she took the initiative to ask, "So you mean, someone is behind this?"
"Yes." Qiu Tu nodded seriously. He knew that the sex scene was coming.
So, he put on his winning act, meeting Princess Huiming's gaze and saying, word by word, "Moreover, I already know who is behind this."
Before Qiu Tu said those words, Princess Huiming had always thought that Qiu Tu was just trying to fool her. But when Qiu Tu said those words, Princess Huiming immediately became serious.
It's easy to ask a question, but difficult to give an answer.
It's easy to make up a story, but it's very difficult to make the details of the story seamless.
If Qiu Tu only wanted to save the God King of Shepherd Heart, theoretically he only needed to ask a question, make up a story, and arouse his suspicion. There was no need to point out the object of his suspicion.
After all, she wasn't someone who was easily deceived. Without a solid reason, Qiu Tu would find it difficult to gain her trust.
Therefore, Princess Huiming gave Qiu Tu a deep look, convinced that Qiu Tu dared to say such a thing, he probably really had some key clues.
Thinking of this, for the first time, the expression on Princess Huiming's cold and beautiful face became truly serious. She looked at Qiu Tu and asked, word by word,
"who is it?"
"Two high-ranking god-kings from the mysterious path, Feng Lei and Wu Ai."
Qiu Tu's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating invisible ripples in the hall.
Even with Princess Huiming's shrewdness, her brows furrowed slightly the moment she heard those two names.
She seemed to want to say something, but for some reason, she swallowed it back. In the end, all her emotions turned into a deeper, colder chill.
In fact, before coming to see Princess Huiming, Qiu Tu was only 70% sure of his answer.
But now, seeing Princess Huiming's subtle reaction, he felt at ease.
It seems the gamble paid off.
At this moment, Princess Huiming, after a moment of silence, slowly spoke up in objection, "Your suspicion is incorrect."
"The 'Mysterious Faction' and the 'Chaotic Faction' are allies. Why would they deliberately betray the Shepherd God King?"
These words sounded like a rebuttal, but Qiu Tu sensed a probing intent in them.
He smiled.
He gave Princess Huiming a deep look before slowly saying, "What if they are only superficially allied with the Chaotic Faction, but in reality... they are secretly allied with another faction?"
He deliberately dragged out his words, and just as Princess Huiming's patience was about to run out, he slowly uttered two words.
"For example... destroying the royal court."
As Qiu Tu finished speaking, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Princess Huiming slowly raised her head to look at Qiu Tu. For the first time, a sharp, knife-like light appeared in her cold phoenix eyes, as if she wanted to completely dissect Qiu Tu's soul.
Qiu Tu simply smiled and met her gaze calmly.
One was as majestic as a god, looking down upon all living beings; the other was cynical and shrewd, yet possessed a keen understanding of the world.
Their gazes met and collided in the air, and the invisible pressure made the surrounding air seem to surge.
After a long silence, Princess Huiming finally spoke, her voice even colder than before. She said, "Your answer is illogical."
She lightly tapped her slender fingers on the long black jade table and asked, "If Feng Lei and Wu Ai are indeed secretly cooperating with us, then... why would they sabotage my plans?"
"What good would it do us to let the chaotic Western Capital fall prematurely, exacerbating the conflicts throughout the world?"
Upon hearing this question, Qiu Tu finally revealed a smug smile.
That's exactly the problem he wants to solve.
He stepped forward, his voice carrying a seductive power, "Your Majesty, you are right."
"So... that's why I came here."
"Your Majesty! Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."
"Although you often come into contact with those two high-ranking god-kings from the mysterious path, you obviously haven't noticed that they have their own ulterior motives."
"They... clearly don't really want to cooperate with you."
"They sabotaged your plans in order to escalate the conflict between the two factions of destruction and chaos to the point that they would both be severely damaged."
"Although we don't know what their true purpose is."
"But I can make some shallow deductions."
"Although the six major factions have formed alliances in pairs, these alliances are not reliable."
"Moreover, which of the more than twenty high-level god-kings from the six major paths isn't a chosen one of heaven, a darling of the world?"
"However, the overall strength of the 'Mysterious Path' ranks last among the six major paths."
"So...they want to develop, they want to become 'Epochal Attributes'."
"So... while they outwardly cooperate with the 'Chaos Faction,' they've actually formed a secret alliance with us."
"So, although they secretly formed a secret alliance with us, they were still not satisfied. So they secretly tripped us up, ruined our plans, and intensified the conflict."
At this point, Qiu Tu looked sincerely at Princess Huiming before him and said,
"Therefore, Your Majesty, if we truly trust them and treat them as allies, we will surely encounter serious problems in the future!"
Qiu Tu's words struck Princess Huiming like a muffled thunderclap, leaving her speechless.
Her brain began to slowly work, connecting Qiu Tu's words with a series of recent events, and then slowly deducing the sequence of events.
To be honest, Princess Huiming had a feeling that something was wrong on the very day the White Frost God King passed away.
The reason she devised the plan to attack "Chaotic West Capital" was because she had accurately predicted the personality of the Shepherd God King.
As the oldest guardian god king of the "Chaos Faction", Shepherd God King is known for his low profile and composure.
He was like a stone Buddha, unshakable by anything.
Sending him out to expand territory might be difficult. But letting him maintain a foothold in a region is definitely the best option.
Therefore, Princess Huiming was certain that the God King Muxin would not take the initiative to attack, but would only silently defend and wait for reinforcements.
In this way, she completely seized control of the battlefield. She could fight or drag things out as she pleased.
Everything was planned perfectly. And that's exactly how things turned out.
Unexpectedly, the White Frost God King made a mistake, and the Shepherd Heart God King also lost his composure, sending the White Frost God King away in one fell swoop.
The coincidence of this event once made Princess Huiming suspect that there might be something wrong with it.
However, perhaps because she had formed a secret alliance and used underhanded methods, she was somewhat blind to what was happening under her own nose and didn't even consider the two high-level god-kings from the mysterious path.
Now, after hearing Qiu Tu's reminder, she immediately realized what he meant.
