"It is 'order-politics'."

"How is that possible!" Larilu was clearly incredulous.

She looked at her sister in disbelief and said, "I saw Qiu Tu's law projection with my own eyes."

"The projection of that law was a man and a woman embracing each other."

Zhao Ji said expressionlessly, "Back then, you even saw him trying to kill you, have you forgotten?"

Larilu said nonchalantly, "Well, I'm not dead, am I?"

"He had his reasons at the time."

"After all, we belong to different camps, so it's normal for there to be friction and misunderstandings."

Zehime: .....

Zhao Ji couldn't help but rub her temples, feeling a little annoyed by her younger sister.

She said with a hint of exasperation, "Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"He's actually been using you, and using me all along."

"He lied to me before, saying there was a 'nose root' at Muye. After killing Muye, I still didn't find the nose root."

"Later, he mentioned a sixth-tier evil god called 'Yaksha' who had a prominent nose bridge. He led me to kill her."

At this point, Zeji paused for a moment, then said, "He used you in the same way."

"If I'm not mistaken, he's tricked me out of the 'Legacy Flower' again, hasn't he?"

Larilu's expression froze for a moment, then she quickly denied it, "No."

"Hehe..." Zhao Ji sneered, but did not press the matter further.

Too lazy to continue arguing with Larilu, she took a step back, saying, "I can spare his life."

"However... regarding his upcoming confrontation with 'Yaksha,' I will only agree, but will not participate."

"If he can pull through, he can; if he can't, then his calamity has arrived."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, La Ri Luo's expression changed, and she said, "Aren't you deliberately trying to kill him?"

"Besides you, there's hardly any Level 6 expert left in the 'Edge Area.'"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji's eyes turned icy cold. She looked at La Ri Luo and said decisively, "That is his fate."

"In six months, the trial in the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart - Core Area' will arrive. To participate in that trial, one must return to Tier 6 to be eligible!"

"Qiu Tu tricked me into returning to the 'fringe area,' and I already didn't have enough time."

“I’ve already wasted more than ten days because of him. I can’t keep wasting time like this.”

"Therefore, I must return to the 'core area' and try to break through to the sixth tier."

Meanwhile, as Zhao Ji was talking and thinking like this...

Suddenly, Qiu Tu's voice came from not far away, "I've searched several cities and finally found you."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo's face lit up with joy, and she quickly tried to remind Qiu Tu to be careful.

Before she could even finish speaking, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this scene of "sisterly affection," Qiu Tu didn't care at all. He joked with a smile, "Sister Zhao Ji's strength is still so accurate."

"But... what happened that made you so ruthless towards Xiaola?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji coldly replied, "It has nothing to do with you."

"Why have you come to see me?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu glanced at La Riluo, who had collapsed to the ground. He walked over, picked her up with the Princess's Emblem, and placed her on the shore.

Then he said, "Sister Zhaoji. Actually... I came this time because I've finally decided not to delay any longer."

"I want to make contact with 'Yaksha' again, lure her to attack me, and then you can take advantage of the situation to strike?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji nodded slightly.

As she expected, Qiu Tu had indeed come for the "Yaksha".

In that case, she could proceed with the original plan and agree to go with Qiu Tu to take down Yaksha.

Then, she can simply remain hidden in other areas and patiently wait for the battle to end.

The only one with a problem is his younger sister.

Zehime knew her younger sister's personality well.

If she wakes up and finds Qiu Tu gone, she'll definitely throw a tantrum.

But... it's alright. Zhao Ji will just go directly to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" to seek the greatest power. Out of sight, out of mind.

At that moment, Qiu Tu opened the dimensional space and took out a piece of wood that shimmered with golden light.

At this moment, Zhao Ji was stunned when she saw the piece of wood that shone with golden light in Qiu Tu's hand.

Immediately afterwards, her originally cold eyes seemed to become more thoughtful.

At this moment, Qiu Tu also said, "It was just discovered last night."

"It was discovered in the 'Eternal Night Zone' at dusk."

"He was very well hidden. If he hadn't revealed himself, most people probably wouldn't have been able to get in even if they saw his treasure trove."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, "After I found out, I immediately checked whether it was true or not."

"After confirming it was real, I delivered it to you today."

At this point, Qiu Tu casually added, "In that case, I won't owe you anything anymore."

Zeki: ....

After saying that, Qiu Tu said, "Then tonight at 9 PM, shall we go and cause trouble for Yaksha together?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji fell silent once again...

After a moment, she slowly said, "Okay."

Chapter 522 Zhao Ji: Am I one of Qiu Tu's own people? (Thanks to "Book Friend 2017" for the patronage!)

After speaking, Zeji remained silent for a few seconds.

She glanced at the obviously precious "nose bridge" in her hand, sat back down by the river, and asked expressionlessly, "I've entrusted Muye to you for so long, why did you only discover it last night?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu shamelessly sat down next to her and explained with a smile, "Hey. It's all just a coincidence."

"Mu Ye is quite capable. Even after being subjected to my severe torture, he still managed to use some cunning."

"He replaced the 'root of the nose' with the 'Flower of the Earth' and then deceived my interrogation. He kept the 'root of the nose' a secret."

"I had already been fooled."

"But... you should know that I captured Yingfei yesterday, right?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji nodded coldly.

Qiu Tu said with a smile, "It was Ying Fei who exposed his secret."

At this point, Qiu Tu explained the events between Ying Fei and Mu Ye to Zhao Ji in detail.

As Zhao Ji listened, she silently observed Qiu Tu's expression. Under her "absolute perception," she could sense that what Qiu Tu said was true.

Thinking this, Zhao Ji gazed silently at the birds flitting among the reeds...

Zhao Ji did not offer any comment until Qiu Tu finished speaking.

She simply picked up the "mountain root" that was placed beside her but hadn't been packed yet, and then asked again, "You're also at the fifth rank."

"At your rate of progress, you should be able to advance to the peak of the fifth rank very soon."

“We’re on different paths. You’ll probably stop accumulating resources and focus on leveling up quickly.”

"You...don't you want to keep this 'root of the nose' all to yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and shook his head without hesitation, "I don't want to."

As Qiu Tu spoke, Zhao Ji stared intently at him.

She planned to kill Qiu Tu tonight, as planned, as long as she found the slightest flaw in him.

But... there really wasn't a single flaw: Qiu Tu was completely at ease.

Zhao Ji was a little skeptical. "Why?"

Qiu Tu put his hands behind his head, imitating Zhao Ji, and looked at the fifty-mile stretch of reeds in the distance, asking, "What are you referring to? Why?"

Ze-hime: "Why don't you want to keep 'Yamane' for yourself?"

She's strong, and no one can beat her even if she speaks harshly. "This isn't like you. You're clearly the kind of person who... would even buy two apples if you passed a fruit stand."

Qiu Tu:? ?

"Slander! Slander!"

Qiu Tu never expected that he would have such a bad impression on Zhao Ji. He said seriously, "I scheme in everything, but only against my enemies."

"I'm always generous to my own people."

"If you don't believe me, think about the women around me, and my colleagues and subordinates. Don't they all praise me?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji gazed at a pair of birds playing in the water in the distance, her mind racing through Qiu Tu's information.

Indeed, as Qiu Tu said, he is very generous when facing his own people.

Whether it's money, power, or position, they almost always go straight for their own people.

It is precisely because of this generosity that he has a large number of followers, as well as many forces and individuals who want to pledge allegiance to him, whether in the New Territories or in Tung Yip Chau.

Therefore, Qiu Tu was not lying about this point.

The only thing Zhao Ji couldn't understand was... that she was one of Qiu Tu's own people?

When did this happen? How come I don't know?

Although he couldn't understand this behavior, and couldn't figure out why Qiu Tu could have kept the "root of the nose" for himself, he honestly handed it over to him.

However, based on Zhao Ji's observation, Qiu Tu's eyes were clear and his heart was open; he genuinely wanted to hand over "the root of the nose" to her.

This made her hesitate for a moment.

Tonight... will they kill Qiu Tu or not?

Meanwhile.

Qiu Tu looked at Zhao Ji's expressionless face, then glanced at the "crisis countdown" still flashing in the upper right corner of his vision, and clicked his tongue.

It's really hard to be a kept man!

One wrong move and you could end up drowning in a ditch!

He hadn't panicked at all, yet he had only made Zhao Ji hesitate. If there had been even the slightest falsehood or deception involved, he would probably have been sentenced to death.

That's right... everything Qiu Tu just said was true and came from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, after obtaining the "Shan Gen" last night, Qiu Tu was hesitant about how to distribute this precious treasure.

His first reaction was, of course, to keep it for himself.

But... just like he thought last night: things only have value when used; leaving them there is just waste. (Chapter 518)

He's still some time away from using "Shan Gen" to advance to the 6th rank. Keeping "Shan Gen" locked up here would be too wasteful.

It would be better to... use it to bribe Lady Zhao!

After all, after spending these days with her, Qiu Tu discovered that Zhao Ji's strength and potential were indeed extremely terrifying.

It's unclear whether she, with her peak fifth-tier strength, can defeat a sixth-tier opponent!

However... Qiu Tu believed that once Zhao Ji broke through to the 6th rank, defeating Yasha should still be a piece of cake.
