Then let them offer their loyalty!

Huang Shangzong's gaze lingered on Xue'er for a moment, hesitated, but still did not correct Xue'er's form of address.

His broad and resolute face was filled with seriousness as he said, "By then, I will most likely not be in Dongye Prefecture, but may have already gone to Xin Prefecture."

"Therefore, you must cooperate with the new speaker's actions."

At this point, Huang Shangzong paused for a moment before adding, "However... you don't need to worry."

"At that time, to show the importance the shelter attaches to it, Elder Pang will personally come to Dongye Prefecture to receive him."

Old Pang is the head of the academic faction and one of the five giants of the shelter.

Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, the three best friends became even more nervous.

After all... they grew up in the "Military Officer Academy," where Old Pang was the principal. Both teachers and students were afraid of him, and the three best friends were obviously afraid of him as well.

Therefore, the three girls were a little worried when they heard that Mr. Pang was in charge of this reception activity.

Finally, Ellie spoke first, asking, "Speaker, do you know who the new speaker of Dongye State is?"

"Is it Vice Speaker Ouyang? Councilor Shao? Or Councilor You?"

Vice Speaker Ouyang is the most senior vice speaker in the neighboring "Northern Yunzhou". He is skilled in economics and politics.

He was in charge of the municipal government system in Beiyunzhou and also built the judicial system, including the court, from scratch. He was highly appreciated by several leaders of the shelter.

As for Representative Shao and Representative You, they are members of the highest council of the shelter and are among the high-ranking officials of the shelter.

One of them is the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council. He has extensive work experience and a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the shelter's operations.

The other was a member of the military committee in charge of the shelter, who was responsible for developing plans for the shelter's expansion.

The military operation launched by Dongye Prefecture against the disaster zone this time received the support and assistance of the Military Commission.

Both of these individuals are highly experienced and capable, but hold relatively little real power as senior members of the shelter.

Over the years, they have also been seeking to be transferred to lower levels.

That's why Ellie guessed it was them.

However, Huang Shangzong fell silent upon hearing Ellie's words.

He didn't explain, but said, "You'll find out in a couple of days."

"The appointment should be finalized soon."

At this point, Huang Shangzong waved his hand and said, "Alright. If there's nothing else, you can go to the attendant's office to report."

"Do a good job on this mission. Don't mess it up."

After saying that, Huang Shangzong first looked at Xue'er and said, "Your performance is related to my reputation."

Upon hearing this, Xue'er's expression became much more serious.

Then, Huang Shangzong looked at Ellie and said, "If you do well on this mission, you can enter the state legislature as the director of the investigation department, just like Qiu Tu did back then."

Ellie's eyes lit up slightly, and she was clearly starting to put her mind to it.

Then, Huang Shangzong's gaze fell on Yan Yan's face. Looking at Yan Yan's face, which was as pure as an angel, Huang Shangzong said, "And Yan Yan, your behavior will also have a huge impact on your father."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yan's eyes lit up slightly, sensing that the task was becoming interesting...

Finally, Huang Shangzong waved his hand and said, "Alright, I've given you all the instructions. The rest is up to you."

"Don't let us down..."

And so, they left Huang Shangzong's office.

The three best friends whispered to each other as they walked toward the servants' quarters.

The incident where Ellie secretly ate Qiu Tu's food a while ago doesn't seem to have affected the relationship between the three best friends.

At least on the surface, the three girls still appear to be very close.

In front of her two best friends, Yan Yan always seemed like a pure angel.

After leaving Huang Shangzong's office, she walked a few steps and looked at Ellie and Xue'er curiously, then asked, "By the way, who do you think will be the new speaker?"

As the person with the highest status among the three, Xue'er never hesitated to speak without considering the occasion or the feelings of others.

So, upon hearing Yan Yan's words, she retorted irritably, "Who cares who he is!"

"Anyway, all I know is that he stole my dad's position!"

"So, we must teach him a lesson!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yan asked hesitantly, "Do you think it could be one of the current vice speakers?"

Hearing Yan Yan's words, Xue'er was stunned for a moment, "Promoted on the spot?"

"The probability is too low, isn't it?"

"Furthermore... among the several vice speakers of Dongye Prefecture, who is suitable to be the speaker?"

"Li Tingdong? Ye Mingfeng? Liu Xiongyuan? It can't be... Qiu Tu, right? Hahaha."

In the end, Xue'er herself laughed.

After all... there were rumors a while ago that Qiu Tu would become the Speaker of the New South Wales State Legislative Assembly.

Now it seems like a complete rumor!

After all... the Speaker of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly is his own father.

Thinking of this, Xue'er was slightly taken aback.

Wait a minute! The Speaker of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly is his own father. Qiu Tu... is going to be the Speaker of the East Asia Legislative Assembly?!

The two were swapped jobs?

'No way?' Xue'er herself found it hard to believe.

After all, given Qiu Tu's age and experience, it was already quite astonishing that he would become the speaker of the state legislature of a newly established state.

And now... he's actually been appointed speaker of the council of a large state like Dongye!

'Is the shelter trying to flatter us to death?'

Thinking of this, Xue'er suddenly felt indifferent again!

After all... he's a state assembly speaker in his early twenties!

It sounds delicious!

Especially since... this speaker is even crazier than me! That makes it even more delicious!

Meanwhile, while Cheryl was lost in thought, Ellie also seemed a little uncomfortable.

Her hand involuntarily pressed against her lower abdomen, and then she remembered that crazy night more than two weeks ago...

That night, she only wanted to have oral sex.

But... who knew that when emotions ran high, she couldn't control herself and ended up shoving Qiu Tu!

Qiu Tu's surprised expression was still etched in her mind, and the pain of losing her virginity made that night even more memorable.

In addition, the Great Evil God Mu Ye attacked Dongcheng City. After Qiu Tu fought fiercely with the evil god, he still remembered his heroic spirit of "warming wine to kill himself". Ellie really couldn't forget it!

So... after that night, Ellie actually struggled with her feelings for a long time.

She was torn about how to explain her actions to Qiu Tu; how to get along with Qiu Tu afterward; and... how to handle their antagonistic yet ambiguous relationship.

To be honest, she had thought of many plans and had many coping strategies.

Then... half a month passed. Qiu Tu didn't come to see her even once.

Ellie had originally thought of a lot of strong-willed words.

For example... it either works or it doesn't. What kind of person runs off to fight an evil god halfway through?

In the end, Qiu Tu only left her with the image of a scumbag who "didn't care after getting what he wanted."

Maybe people are just inherently perverse. When Qiu Tu was constantly thinking about seducing her, she wanted nothing more than to scratch him to death.

After Qiu Tu got her, he ignored her for half a month, but now she's started dreaming about him every night...

This caused Ellie to feel a little dazed when she heard the name again...

Seeing that her simple words had caused her two best friends to momentarily lose their composure, Yan Yan couldn't help but curl a smug smile onto her lips...

And then, thinking about how she would be accompanying Princess Xi with her two best friends, Yan Yan's smile widened even more...

.....

Meanwhile, the "Boundless Heart Sea - Azure Water Area"!

Qiu Tu leaned against the Emerald Shadow Dragon, staring expressionlessly at "Scarface," who was refining the earth vein node with his eyes closed not far away.

The "captain" stood guard beside him, his aura seemingly growing even stronger.

I don't know how much time passed; it might have been half an hour, or it might have been three or four hours.

Just as Qiu Tu was about to fall asleep, suddenly, the 36 leyline nodes in the Biyue area lit up and transformed into towering pillars of light, illuminating the entire area!

Along with the towering pillar of light, Scarface's aura began to spread rapidly from the leyline nodes, blossoming in multiple locations and reaching the entire "Azure Water Area"!

Wherever he went, everything was tainted by the aura of "Scarface," while the aura left by "Butterfly" was quickly erased!

"Finally, we succeeded." Seeing this, Qiu Tu slowly stood up.

During these 10 days, Qiu Tu first refined his own area, and then rushed to the area where the two dark soldiers were located.

Fortunately, the entire refining process went incredibly smoothly. The only slight problem was that the refining area for the peak third-tier "Scarface" was a bit slow.

However, after enduring 10 days of hardship, he successfully refined all the ley lines and gained control of the region.

This also means that Qiu Tu directly or indirectly controls six areas!

Next, he only needs to follow the steps to have his dark soldiers "cede" the areas to him, and he can directly control 6 areas!

However, there's no rush now.

Qiu Tu's current strength is stuck at the peak of the pseudo-fourth tier! Even if he is given more areas, his strength cannot be improved further.

Therefore, it would be better to wait until you advance to the fifth rank before slowly taking the area back into your own hands.

Now, Qiu Tu has more important things to do.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu did not delay any longer after "Scarface" had formed a new regional central hub.

He incorporated "Scarface" and "Captain" into his own shadow, and then took Yiyi back to Dongcheng City.

After settling Yiyi in, Qiu Tu immediately called Old Tang.

And then... not long after, a bombshell piece of news spread throughout Dongye Prefecture!

Huang Shangzong will no longer serve as the Speaker of the State Legislative Assembly of Dongye State!

He will temporarily serve as the "Commander-in-Chief of the Disaster Zone Development Project" and will become the "Speaker of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly" after the formation of New South Wales!

This astonishing change left everyone baffled. They couldn't understand why Huang Shangzong, who was doing so well in Dongye Prefecture, would suddenly be transferred to serve as the speaker of a prefecture that was still in the planning stages.

Moreover... after he leaves, who will lead Dongye Prefecture?

The doubts of the crowd did not last long.

Because, very soon, the next day, a major announcement was made.

Qiu Tu, the deputy speaker of the Dongye State Legislative Assembly, has temporarily taken over Huang Shangzong's position as the acting speaker of the Dongye State Legislative Assembly, exercising the powers of the speaker.

This change once again shocked everyone.

Qiu Tu became the speaker of the Dongye Prefecture council?

Just kidding!

It wasn't Qiu Tu, a senior deputy speaker from another state, a member of the Supreme Council of Shelter, or even another powerful deputy speaker from Dongye State.

Although Qiu Tu has indeed just made a great contribution, ... Qiu Tu does not have any experience in governing a region.

Moreover... in order to make Qiu Tu the speaker of the state assembly, they even transferred Huang Shangzong away!

Don't you think the shelter is taking this too lightly?

Do the shelters really believe that Qiu Tu can lead Dongye Prefecture to glory?

While the entire Dongye Prefecture was still reeling from this astonishing appointment, the Sanctuary quickly followed up with a dizzying series of adjustments...
