Then let them offer their loyalty!

Wouldn't it be better to invite three or four mid-to-late stage fifth-tier evil gods to ambush Qiu Tu and kill him there, eliminating him completely?

With that thought in mind, Old Pang's brain was working at lightning speed.

Or... let's just use the lion to hunt the rabbit, and have "Yaksha" wait on the road and kill Qiu Tu.

Anyway, the "Yaksha" came this time to kill Zehime and steal the "Earthly Branch Flower"...

Killing Qiu Tu might just provoke Zhao Ji into coming out...

The more Pang thought about it, the more he realized this made sense...

He couldn't help but ponder silently,

'The remaining task is to figure out how to lure Qiu Tu out...'

Perhaps because Old Pang was too engrossed in his thoughts, Kou Yu, who had been fuming for a long time, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He frowned and called out twice, "Old Pang, Old Pang! What are you thinking about?"

"Give me a straight answer. Can you please give me a straight answer?"

Hearing Kou Yu's words, Old Pang slowly came back to his senses. He glanced at Kou Yu and then said, "This matter... definitely cannot be handled according to your wishes."

"Qiu Tu is one of the top-ranking members of our 8th Shelter, and he's one of the top experts."

"It would be too frivolous to get rid of him just because of a few words or conflicts."

At this point, Old Pang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Don't try to test me with such petty tricks."

Even if I were completely confused, I would never agree to your unreasonable request.

Upon hearing Old Pang's words, Kou Yu's angry expression vanished, and he chuckled as he looked at Old Pang, saying, "Old Pang... it seems you haven't completely lost your mind yet."

"Well, my brother isn't very good at judging people either."

Upon hearing Kou Yu's unserious words, Elder Pang's gaze sharpened slightly, and his previous relaxed demeanor vanished.

He couldn't help but look at Kou Yu and asked, "You contacted your brother? What did he say?"

Kou Yu sat on the sofa, appearing very casual.

He said, "I didn't say anything."

"He just felt something was wrong and asked me to remind you."

He said that a raging fire is like cooking oil, flowers are like brocade, the moon wanes after it is full, and water overflows when it is full.

"Over the years, you've always felt that 'academic' is just a label, unlike the 'Iron-Blooded Faction' or the 'Fengtian Clique,' which had their own roots and territory."

"You've always wanted to push the 'academic' approach to a new level."

"However... Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng have always been very wary of the expansion speed of your 'academic school,' and dare not easily give you any openings."

"But this time, your dream suddenly came true. Don't you find that a little strange?"

At this point, Kou Yu paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, you could also say that this is because your efforts over the years have finally paid off."

"After all, the 'academics' have been continuously supplying talent to the shelters in recent years, making up almost half of the new generation of officials."

"Because of this, you were subsequently wary of it, so you turned to providing educational support to other factions. Therefore, even if you didn't achieve anything, you should still be credited for your hard work."

"After suppressing you for so many years, it's time for the shelter to loosen its restrictions on you."

"But... if that makes sense, then Pei Jing's promotion is even stranger."

"You should know that Pei Jing commands the military force with the largest number of 'academic' members."

"To some extent, he is a key figure in your 'academic' faction's struggle to stand on equal footing with other factions."

“Back then, you always wanted to push Pei Jing to the top, but Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng kept restricting him. In the end, as compensation, they sent him to Beiyun Prefecture to be the vice speaker.”

"As it turned out, he actually made a name for himself and managed to integrate the entire army of Beiyun Prefecture."

"Now... he's been promoted. It seems he's finally achieved his goal and become the speaker."

"But...without the army in his hands, he was like a tiger without teeth, a wolf without claws."

As he listened to Kou Yu's words, Old Pang's face grew increasingly grim, his eyes revealing both the worry that what he had said had come true and a sense of relief that he could not believe it.

At this point, Kou Yu continued, "My brother said that, at first glance, neither of these two things seems to be a problem."

"However, the timing of this is a bit strange."

Whether things are as my brother guessed or not remains to be seen.

"Perhaps... Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng, after increasing their strength, felt they could control you and the 'Academy School,' so they proactively lifted the restrictions on you."

Hearing Kou Yu say this, Old Pang's expression softened slightly, and he was no longer so grim.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Please thank Kou Xuan for me."

"I'll keep that in mind from now on."

Kou Yu raised his head and nodded indifferently. But his thoughts drifted back to his conversation with his brother yesterday.

After his brother finished giving instructions to Elder Pang, he said a few words to him with a stern expression.

"Don't tell Pang Haichen what's coming next."

“Rao Shouhe and Tang Wanfeng are definitely not loosening Pang Haichen’s reins, but rather trying to lull him into complacency and flatter him to death.”

"But... I've met Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng many times. They're always very disciplined and rarely resort to ruthless tactics just because of political differences."

"Therefore, Pang Haichen is likely hiding something from us."

"It was this matter that may have touched a nerve with Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng."

"So, just give the reminder. Don't get too involved or explain too much."

"If he can understand it, he can understand it; if he can't, then so be it."

"In this way, no matter which side wins, it will not affect the Kou family's position or our relationship with them."

Thinking this, Kou Yu couldn't help but glance at Old Pang, a little curious: What exactly is this old man hiding...?

Meanwhile, Old Pang was drinking tea and deep in thought.

His gaze drifted into the distance, clearly not focused on the teacup, as if he were deep in thought.

If someone else had given this reminder, Mr. Pang would probably have just ignored it.

However... it was Kou Xuan who gave this reminder.

Who is Kou Xuan? He is the number two figure in the Sixth Sanctuary, and Kang Wang's true right-hand man. He is Kang Wang's chief strategist in establishing the sanctuary.

It was thanks to his flawless strategies that King Kang was able to pacify the disaster zone in a short period of time, wielding a three-foot sword, and establish a large territory for the 6th Sanctuary.

It is said that when King Kang and Kou Xuan joined forces, the 6th Sanctuary expanded all the way to the edge of the "core area".

Finally, a fifth-tier evil god emerged from the "core area," carrying "Shan Gen" as he advanced to the sixth tier outside. He directly suppressed the attack by force, thus stopping the offensive of King Kang and Kou Xuan.

Even so, the sixth-tier evil god was outmaneuvered by Kou Xuan and was said to have almost perished, forcing him to shrink in size and slowly recover.

This also shows how terrifying Kou Xuan was.

That's why, after Kou Xuan reminded him, Elder Pang immediately became alert.

'Could it be... that Old Rao and Old Tang have discovered my identity as a member of the "Hidden Mist Society"? And they want to take action against me?'

'But that shouldn't be the case... How could they suddenly know who I am?'

Am I just imagining things? Or is it really true?

'Should I test the waters?'

Thinking this, Old Pang couldn't help but think of Qiu Tu.

'Perhaps we can find a breakthrough with Qiu Tu...'

.....

at the same time.

When Pang Lao received guidance from Kou Xuan, who was far away.

Qiu Tu was also receiving guidance from La Riluo.

"Yes, here, right here... Gently pinch it, lightly twist it."

"Hmm... Ah~~ Yes, that's the feeling."

"Come on, knead it slowly, just like kneading a steamed bun..."

"Ah~ that feels so good."

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu held the "Earth Vein Flower" in both hands, looking at Larilu with a black line on his forehead.

"Teach if you can, otherwise go back."

What's that strange noise coming from there?

"Is it itchy, or is it just aroused?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's grumbling, La Riluo pouted in dissatisfaction, "I just felt that simple teaching was too boring, so I added some entertainment."

"Don't you think this kind of change makes things much more interesting?"

Qiu Tu rolled his eyes at her, grabbed the stamen of the "Earth Vein Flower" and twirled it as he said, "I don't find it interesting, I just feel a little intoxicated, and I wish I could stand up and kick you."

Upon hearing this, Larilu smiled alluringly, her scarlet eyes full of seduction, "Sure, if you want, I might as well give in to you."

As she spoke, she licked her bright red lips and winked at Qiu Tu in a suggestive way.

Qiu Tu: .....

He endured, endured again, and continued to endure! And then... he held back.

Actually, given Qiu Tu's style, he wouldn't have tolerated it. When La Riluo first seduced him, he probably would have just taken her right there and then.

But... there's nothing I can do.

Just now, when Qiu Tu couldn't resist and started to touch her, La Riluo didn't resist at all; she even lay softly in Qiu Tu's arms.

But... as Qiu Tu began to remove her armor, she whispered a question in his ear, "Qiu Tu, guess... why, even though I'm a being that 'reproduces,' I've remained chaste?"

Qiu Tu was indeed stunned for a moment.

Then, La Riluo whispered a second question in Qiu Tu's ear, "Tell me... why do I never give it to you? The only two times something happened between us, it was when I possessed someone else's body?"

Qiu Tu was stunned again when he heard this question.

Then, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Why?"

Larilu explained with a smile, "Because my sister placed a restriction on me. It forbids me from having any relationship with any man."

Qiu Tu:? ? ?

Qiu Tu almost thought he had misheard. What kind of bizarre relationship was this, where the older sister forbade her younger sister from having a relationship?

Is this reasonable?

Just as Qiu Tu was wondering, La Riluo whispered to him, "Because... my sister and I have a magical connection; we can share feelings with each other."

"Moreover, sometimes this kind of sharing cannot be blocked."

"So...you understand..."

At that moment, Qiu Tu's eyes were wide open, like copper bells.

What kind of amazing setting is this?

The two sisters actually have a connection with each other?

No wonder the relationship between these two sisters is so strange. And... it suddenly makes sense that Zehime set up a restriction on Larilu.

It's in the style of Lady Zetsu.
