Then let them offer their loyalty!

At this point, she raised her hand and pointed to the Radiant Princess, Old Bai, and Order Heavenly Evolution not far away beside her, her voice cold and powerful, "Six high-level God-Kings who have embarked on the path to the supreme."

"I have four here."

"You only have two over there."

"Even if you are a formidable fighter, three against two is enough to keep you occupied for a short time."

"And Qiu Tu will still fall into my hands."

Before Zhao Ji could speak after hearing Jasmine's words, Qiu Tu, who had been ignored since the beginning, laughed first.

His laughter sounded exceptionally clear in the silent night sky.

"Really? Jasmine."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine frowned and looked at him.

As a result, Jasmine then realized that... Qiu Tu's face had long since lost its "shock" and "fright" from before, and was instead filled with composure and confidence.

It's like... everything that just happened was an act.

At that moment, Jasmine felt a sudden jolt, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

Sure enough, in her gaze, Qiu Tu looked at Princess Huiming beside her and said loudly, "Your Highness."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's summons, Princess Huiming's indifferent eyes, which seemed to look down on ants, first glanced calmly at Qiu Tu, then turned to Jasmine beside her.

Her features were exquisite and cold, untouched by worldly affairs, and at this moment, she showed no emotion whatsoever. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Witch."

Before she finished speaking, she flashed and appeared beside Qiu Tu.

Upon seeing this, Jasmine frowned deeply, and her face turned extremely pale.

However, perhaps having already suspected something, Jasmine didn't lose her composure. She completely ignored Princess Huiming's apology, her gaze returning to Zehime, and coldly said, "It's alright."

"Now, it's three against three."

"I can hold you two off by myself, no problem at all."

"Mu Xin stopped Hui Ming."

"And Tianyan can still take action against Qiu Tu."

As a result, the moment she finished speaking, Lao Bai, who had been silent all along, hesitated for a moment, then moved and floated to the other side, away from the center of the battle.

"Your Majesty... I'm sorry."

Jasmine: ? ? ?

Old Bai's sudden "betrayal" caught even Qiu Tu off guard, let alone Jasmine. This was even more unexpected for Zhao Ji, La Ri Luo, and Order of Heaven.

At that moment, everyone's eyes fell on him with surprise.

But Lao Bai didn't look at anyone. He just looked at Jasmine apologetically and said in a low voice, "I can obey His Majesty's orders on other matters. But... not on Qiu Tu."

His voice was soft, but very certain.

In that instant, the entire sky above Aria became utterly silent...

Chapter 993 Jasmine: Taking a Step Back Opens Up a Brighter Future (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Jasmine may have considered hundreds of possible scenarios for how things would develop today, and even thought that the Order of Heaven might betray her, but she never imagined that Old Bai would betray her.

So, with an incredulous look on her face, she slowly turned her head, her gaze laboriously shifting from Qiu Tu to the man who had withdrawn from the battle and was standing quietly in the distance.

The man she had discovered, nurtured, and relied on for a thousand years.

Although she didn't say anything, it was as if she had said everything.

However... facing Jasmine's gaze, Old Bai sighed slightly, then closed his eyes, stood there with his hands at his sides, and remained silent.

Clearly, he... didn't want to explain anything.

This silence is more hurtful than any words.

Jasmine's heart sank. She looked away and quickly surveyed the situation before her.

Three women stood beside Qiu Tu.

Dressed in white, with her hand on the hilt of a long sword, Zhao Ji exuded an aloof and arrogant air.

Princess Huiming wore a black python robe embroidered with gold patterns, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded down to her waist.

There was also Lariro, whose scarlet eyes were clear, yet who exuded the aura of someone embarking on the path to the highest realm.

Looking at our side, there's only the little cat, Order Heaven Evolution.

Thinking this, Jasmine's brows furrowed deeply.

Then she took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in her chest, and looked at Qiu Tu again, asking, "Qiu Tu, what kind of schemes and tricks did you use?"

"Why did you let Mu Xin betray me?"

Hearing Jasmine's words, Qiu Tu's emotions didn't fluctuate much; in fact, he felt somewhat suppressed.

He glanced at Old Bai, who stood to the side with his hands at his sides, his gaze deep, a suspicion forming in his mind, but he didn't voice it.

He still wore that bright smile, as if he had really arranged it all.

He smiled and said, "Little Jasmine."

How could you doubt your brother?

"Why must it be that I, your brother, used some underhanded tricks to turn Mu Xin against me?"

"Or perhaps Mu Xin was moved by my wisdom and might, and voluntarily abandoned darkness for light?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's sarcastic and insensitive words, Jasmine's face turned ashen.

She stared intently at Qiu Tu, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes seeming to spit fire.

The air seemed to freeze.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Just when everyone thought Jasmine was about to explode without restraint, the icy coldness on her face seemed to melt away suddenly.

She suddenly smiled, revealing shallow dimples, and her almond-shaped eyes regained their watery appearance, as if the person with the gloomy face just now was not her at all.

"Brother Qiu Tu~"

Her voice was sickeningly sweet, so coquettish it could melt your bones. "Look at my mouth, I always say the wrong thing."

"You're right, Mu Xin. It must be because she admires you so much that she's abandoned darkness for light."

As she spoke, she nodded earnestly, as if she had truly come to a realization.

"So, I've been thinking about it carefully just now."

Why do we have to fight, kill, oppose, or confront each other like this?

She tilted her head, her chestnut curls cascading down her chest like seaweed, making her appear exceptionally harmless.

"Look, Xiyue and I have been best friends for so many years, and you, in turn, are Xiyue's..."

At this point, she glanced almost imperceptibly at the expressionless Zhao Ji, then continued with a cheerful smile.

"Xi Yue's lover."

After she finished speaking, she looked around at everyone present, and finally burst into laughter. Her laughter was clear and melodious, as if she had really encountered some great joy.

"When you think about it, aren't we all family?"

Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji: ...

Princess of Radiant Fate, La Ri Luo, Old White, Order of Heaven: ....

Everyone present, including Qiu Tu, was speechless for a moment.

Although the Witch of Chaos has always been known for her eccentric, capricious, and adaptable nature,... such adaptability is still somewhat unexpected.

Putting aside other times, in just these few hours today, she has already changed her attitude three or four times. Especially this last time, Qiu Tu was practically trampling on her face, yet she still managed to turn a blind eye.

This forbearance and this temperament earned Qiu Tu's admiration.

So he couldn't help but smile and say, "Little Jasmine, there's a reason why you've become the best in the world."

"Most people can at most endure the humiliation of being crawled between someone's legs. You actually danced between my legs."

Hearing Qiu Tu's insulting words, Jasmine's expression didn't change at all. She even giggled twice, as if Qiu Tu was really praising her dancing.

Qiu Tu:......

Qiu Tu realized that once a woman becomes completely shameless, there's really nothing you can do about her.

At this moment, seeing Jasmine yield, the golden eyes of Order Heavenly Evolution flickered slightly.

He glanced at Qiu Tu, then at Jasmine, and then his figure vanished silently from the spot.

No one noticed Xingyu Tianyan's departure, except for Qiu Tu.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the void where the Order of Heavenly Evolution had vanished before settling on the smiling Jasmine, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes.

Tonight's operation appeared to be a resounding victory for him. But in reality... he didn't achieve his core objective.

The reason he acted out of character when facing Jasmine, constantly using sarcastic and cynical remarks, was actually to provoke Jasmine and provoke her and the Order of Heaven to take action.

He was absolutely confident that, if Jasmine and Order of Heaven took the initiative to attack, his side could suppress the opponent and kill Order of Heaven.

As long as we fight a battle until the Order of Heaven perishes and Jasmine is completely convinced, then the matter of the Six Paths attaining the same enlightenment will become incredibly simple, without any further variables.

His plan initially went very smoothly.

But... at the last moment, Jasmine managed to calm herself down.

She not only saw through the entire situation but also discerned Qiu Tu's true intentions. Therefore... she forcibly changed her emotions, endured humiliation, and silently withdrew her insults, refusing to take action.

This gave Qiu Tu a frustrating feeling, like he had punched a ball he had been holding in with all his might, only to have it land on cotton.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at Jasmine.

Jasmine seemed to see through Qiu Tu's distress, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Then, without speaking, she used a telepathic connection that only the two of them could hear to say to Qiu Tu,

"Qiu Tu. All six paths must be tested together; none can be missing."

"So... even if you have five god-kings who have embarked on the path to the highest realm, you cannot attain enlightenment unless you convince me wholeheartedly and leave me with no other choice."

Her voice carried a hint of smugness, as if she knew everything.

"Furthermore... Mu Xin certainly won't attack you. But similarly, he didn't say he would attack me, or allow you to attack me."

"In a three-on-three battle, it's not certain that Zhao Ji, Hui Ming, and the other two can defeat the three of us."

"More importantly... you haven't yet embarked on the path to the highest realm."

"The highest path of order is currently occupied by the Heavenly Evolution of Order."

"The three of them are certainly more inclined towards you now. But what if you... are unable to embark on the path to the highest realm?"

Jasmine blinked, a sly smile playing on her lips. "With the Order of Heaven present, we all have another option."

"But without him, all of us have no choice but to bet everything on you."

"But...who can guarantee that you will definitely be able to embark on the path to the highest realm?"

"Even if Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo are willing to gamble, are Lao Bai and Hui Ming willing to gamble?"

"They do have feelings for you now and hope that you can become the sixth high-level god-king to attain enlightenment alongside them."

"But... that doesn't mean this relationship allows them to leave no way out."

As she said this, Jasmine's smile grew wider and wider. "After I figured all of this out, I suddenly felt enlightened."

"So, the reason you kept pressing was simply because you didn't want to give everyone time to think. You wanted to settle everything as quickly as possible, before everyone could react, and create a fait accompli."

"In reality, in the current situation, taking a step forward means certain death, while taking a step back would open up a whole new world."

"If I fall for your provocation and attack you, then the Order of Heavenly Evolution may be doomed today."

“But as long as I don’t take action, or tell them all the pros and cons, they won’t allow you to kill the Heavenly Evolution of Order.”
