Then let them offer their loyalty!

"Meets the standards of the human camp."

"I'll report to Speaker Xing again tomorrow and see if we can issue a joint statement with other shelters to congratulate your new core leadership team."

Having said that, it was essentially Shen Yuzhou giving in.

However, extreme pressure must be applied to the extreme, so Qiu Tu did not let Shen Yuzhou off the hook just because he gave in.

Upon hearing Shen Yuzhou's words, Qiu Tu, who was standing still, exclaimed "Oh?" and then slowly sat down, saying, "So Speaker Shen and Commander Li have such high opinions of me?"

This afternoon, when Li Feng and Shen Yuzhou were talking, they agreed that the negotiation would be decided by Shen Yuzhou.

Therefore, although Li Feng was a little disappointed to see Shen Yuzhou back down, she still nodded, which was considered as agreeing to Shen Yuzhou's attempt to make amends.

Just then, Qiu Tu chuckled and said, "Since you two have such high opinions of me and the 6th and 7th shelters..."

"Well... I feel that just being the deputy head of state isn't enough to prove my abilities."

At this point, Qiu Tu looked at Princess Xi and said, "Xi Xi, the weather has been a bit chilly lately, should I put on a yellow coat?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi's usually cold face became serious.

She nodded and replied, "Yes, we should wear more clothes when it gets cold."

After saying that, she looked at Li Feng and Shen Yuzhou with a deep expression and said, "Actually, in the past two weeks since I took over the 7th Shelter, I have always felt that I am not up to the task."

"That's why I asked Elder Qiu to help me take charge of the overall situation."

“Now that other shelters also feel that Qiu Tu is more suitable to be the leader of the shelter, I certainly won’t stay in this position forever.”

“In ancient times, Yao and Shun abdicated their positions to each other. I also want to follow the example of the sages and pass the position of head of state to Elder Qiu. Let him lead our 7th shelter forward.”

Upon hearing Princess Xi's words, Shen Yuzhou and Li Feng:....

They knew Qiu Tu was "greedy" and "opportunistic," but... they never expected him to be so bold.

Shelter No. 1!

How many shelters does the entire human community have?

Qiu Tu is trying to achieve instant success!

Thinking this, Li Feng and Shen Yuzhou exchanged a glance.

Li Fengxian couldn't sit still any longer. She coughed and took the initiative to speak, "The 7th shelter has just stabilized. I think it's not advisable to cause any more trouble at this time."

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Qiu Tu didn't comment, but instead looked directly at Shen Yuzhou and asked, "Speaker Shen, what do you think?"

The veins on Shen Yuzhou's forehead throbbed.

'This kid really knows how to take advantage of me!'

He wanted to refuse Qiu Tu and side with Li Feng. But then he remembered... Shen Lingshuang was still in Qiu Tu's hands, and how he had already held back...

'Alright, alright. I'll just stall for time.'

Thinking this, he touched his meticulously styled hair and slowly said, "Each shelter is independent. When the alliance was formed, the shelters agreed not to interfere in each other's internal affairs."

"Therefore, as long as Princess Xi is willing and Elder Qiu agrees, then everything will be in accordance with the rules."

Upon hearing Shen Yuzhou's words, Li Feng looked at Shen Yuzhou with disbelief.

His eyes were full of doubt, as if to say: You fucking killed someone and he saw it? And he agreed to that?

But as the head of the shelter, even killing someone isn't a big deal!

As for being manipulated by him like this?

Shen Yuzhou, of course, had no idea what Li Feng was thinking. But he also knew that this would definitely arouse Li Feng's dissatisfaction and suspicion.

So he avoided Li Feng's gaze, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of tea.

The tea was slightly cool and tasted bitter...

Seeing that Shen Yuzhou had accepted even these conditions, Qiu Tu couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

He said, "Thank you for your understanding and support, Speaker Shen."

"However, whether or not he can become the head of state depends on the opinions of the elders of the shelter."

“Our 7th shelter is still very democratic and fair.”

Princess Xi: ....

Li Feng & Shen Yuzhou: .....

Qiu Tu deliberately ignored the expressions of the three people. He gestured to Li Feng and Shen Yuzhou, and then said,

"So, I'd like to trouble you two to write a congratulatory letter for my promotion to No. 2 leader."

"Since the re-election of our No. 7 Shelter's elders, we have not been recognized by the major shelters, which has indeed caused a lot of controversy."

"We still want to try to eliminate this negative impact."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu clapped his hands.

The next second, several maids walked in from inside the room.

As if they had expected it, they came to Shen Yuzhou and Li Feng's side with paper and pen in their hands.

Seeing this, Shen Yuzhou and Li Feng:...

To be honest, as high-ranking members of their respective shelters, Shen Yuzhou and Li Feng hadn't experienced this kind of pressure in a long time...

Qiu Tu didn't treat them as high-ranking members of the shelter at all, but rather as... prisoners.

This disrespect and contempt made them both very uncomfortable.

To be honest, when they were repeatedly humiliated by Qiu Tu, both of them actually had the idea of ​​flipping the table and having a big fight with Qiu Tu.

But then she thought of how Qiu Tu had rendered Li Feng powerless to resist, leaving her no choice but to submit to his advances; she thought of Qiu Tu's clearly abnormal fourth-tier cultivation level; she thought of Qiu Tu's current extreme pressure and arrogant demeanor...

Then I thought about how he used to be known for his "strategic planning".

The two were furious, but in the end they held back!

So, they ultimately followed Qiu Tu's wishes and wrote a congratulatory message.

The so-called recognition by the human faction is actually a blessing sent by the high-ranking officials of various shelters when regimes or rulers change.

This thing may seem useless, but it is actually a kind of "legal certification" and "alignment confirmation".

If a ruler fails to gain recognition from other sanctuaries, while it may not affect his rule within his own sanctuary, it will inevitably cause unease among his subjects and could provide an opportunity for political enemies to exploit the situation.

After all, only those who belong to the same human camp can help each other, trade with each other, and exchange goods.

Therefore, as long as it doesn't come at too high a cost, gaining recognition from the "human camp" is still a worthwhile thing.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu sat upright in the main seat, sipping tea while keeping an eye on the two writing congratulatory messages.

After watching for a while, Qiu Tu felt something was off. It seemed... someone was watching him.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but follow the gaze.

Then he saw the girl next to Shen Yuzhou who looked exactly like Shen Lingshuang.

When the girl saw Qiu Tu looking over, she immediately grinned at him, revealing her two little tiger teeth.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu's eyes flickered. Then he nodded slightly twice towards the girl.

The girl was clearly taken aback for a moment, then she looked at Qiu Tu with a sly look in her eyes, and suddenly called out Shen Yuzhou's name.

"dad!"

Upon hearing the girl's address, Shen Yuzhou hummed in response and looked over.

The girl looked away from Qiu Tu, then smiled and said to Shen Yuzhou, "It's nothing, just calling out casually."

Shen Yuzhou gave her a strange look, but seeing that he didn't notice anything unusual, he shook his head and continued writing his congratulatory message.

At this moment, Qiu Tu, sitting upright in the main seat, showed no change on his face, but his brows were furrowed in his heart.

This "reincarnation of a god" is a bit different from what I imagined.

It seems... it needs to be even more wicked, even more silly, even more mischievous?

I wanted to ask her out privately, but she deliberately scared me?

This personality is really a bit hard to handle...

With Qiu Tu's thoughts in mind, both congratulatory messages were quickly written.

Perhaps since we've already been forced into this situation, we might as well go along with Qiu Tu for now.

So, right in front of Qiu Tu, the two of them made phone calls to their subordinates and other shelters to discuss the matter of "recognizing Qiu Tu".

The four shelters are closely connected, and they should have already made various contingency plans when they entrusted Li Feng and Shen Yuzhou to come.

This definitely includes a contingency plan where neither of them could subdue Qiu Tu, and instead, they were overpowered or coerced by him...

Therefore, when they saw that neither of them could suppress Qiu Tu, the human camp stopped pressuring him and instead adopted a more conciliatory approach.

after all....

Qiu Tu, at level 6, is like a monkey ruling the mountain when there are no tigers.

They are considered top-tier combatants in the human camp, but they cannot change the rules.

Qiu Tu, who was able to suppress two Rank 7 combatants on his own, already possessed the ability to engage in equal dialogue with the four major shelters.

Of course... this also gives them the power to force the four major shelters to compromise.

After all, in the Cataclysmic Era, while rules are important, humanity's top powerhouses are even more important.

Uniting every top powerhouse, and then striving to uphold the rules to ensure the peaceful development of the human race, is the only long-term solution.

Soon after, the Senate of the 7th Shelter began to receive congratulations from the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Shelters.

These congratulations are not only sent to Shelter No. 7, but also to other shelters.

So, very quickly, the Kou family, Rao Shou, and Tang Wanfeng all learned of this news...

......

Shelter No. 8. Rao Shou's villa.

Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng looked at the congratulatory message in their hands, exchanged a glance, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"They subdued him by force?" Tang Wanfeng couldn't help but remark, "I have a feeling we've cultivated someone extraordinary..."

Upon hearing this, Rao Shou didn't answer at first, but after two seconds, he nodded slightly...

.......

Meanwhile, at Shelter No. 6. The Central Hub.

Kou Xuan was dressed in fine clothes, handling official business.

Without even looking up, Kou Xuan listened to the report, then simply nodded and said, "Understood. You may leave."

--------

There are only 3 days left in the month, and monthly tickets will be forfeited if not used now. Please vote with your monthly tickets!

Chapter 603 A Night Meeting with "Candle Dance" (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)

Upon hearing Kou Xuan's words, the confidant quickly responded, bowed, and left the study.

After the confidant left, the luxurious study became incredibly quiet.

Kou Xuan finished reading the document in his hand without expression, and signed his name. Then, he slowly picked up the pen cap, his slender fingers gently twirling it as he slowly closed the gold pen.

With a "click," the gold pen snapped shut, and Kou Xuan pressed it down on top of the document.

Then he leaned back in the soft brocade chair, his brows furrowed, and began to ponder deeply.

'Did the leadership of all four shelters offer their congratulations?'

This means that Qiu Tu has gained the recognition of the human camp and has officially become the second-in-command of the 6th and 7th Sanctuaries.

'However... according to intelligence, the two sides only held two rounds of consultations before reaching a consensus.'

'And looking at the military mobilization of the 7th Shelter... this time Qiu Tu didn't even have to pay a price, yet he directly used his strength to force the four major shelters to submit?'

Thinking of this, Kou Xuan's gaze deepened.

'Those are two Tier 7 fighters. And they also have the Iron Maidens Legion, an ironclad force.' Yet they were no match for Qiu Tu.'
