Then let them offer their loyalty!

As she spoke, Qiu Tu stepped into the room. "What are you talking about?"

Before La Rilu could even speak after hearing Qiu Tu's question, Jasmine started to accuse Qiu Tu of being the villain.

She lowered her head and said with a wronged expression, "Brother, it's like this."

"This morning I saw Sister Guan Xiao come out of your room, and then I casually mentioned it to Sister Xiao La as gossip."

"But she thought that the two of you had a different relationship, and she got angry, so she took it out on me and lashed out at me."

At this point, she looked up at Qiu Tu pitifully and said, "Brother, I didn't mean to make Xiaola angry."

"It wasn't on purpose that I said it."

Hearing Jasmine's distorted words, Lari was truly furious.

She pointed at Jasmine, her face flushed with anger, and wanted to say something.

At this moment, Qiu Tu smiled and pressed her hand down, then said, "Your Highness, please stop fooling around. I have something to discuss with Jasmine."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu gestured to Jasmine and said, "Jasmine, I have something to discuss with you. Let's talk outside."

Seeing Qiu Tu's obvious bias, La Riluo became even angrier.

But Qiu Tu ignored her and pulled Jasmine away from the room.

Seeing this, Larilu looked at Zhaoji beside her, pointed at their backs, her face flushed with anger, and her little hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Sister, sister, look at them! Look at them!"

"Qiu Tu has changed!"

Upon hearing Larilu's words, Zehime closed her eyes indifferently.

Larilu became even angrier.

However, what she didn't know was that although Zhao Ji ignored her, Jasmine outside the door frowned slightly after Qiu Tu chose to support her and wronged her, and then her anger flared even more...

After leaving Zhao Ji's room with Jasmine, Qiu Tu and Jasmine walked in the courtyard.

Because this conversation was quite important, Qiu Tu set up defensive and early warning arrays around him as he walked.

Seeing this, Jasmine's heart stirred slightly, and she guessed why Qiu Tu had come to see her.

Sure enough, Qiu Tu slowly spoke, echoing her thoughts.

He said, "Jasmine, there is something I want to talk to you about, and I hope you can convey it to the God King Shepherd Heart."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine pouted her pink lips again, looked up at Qiu Tu, and asked, "Brother, are you talking about the ambush on the Chaotic God and God King?"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

He pulled Jasmine to sit on a stone bench in the garden, and then said, "Believe it or not..."

"Actually, I didn't intend to ambush our people this time."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine continued to smile at him.

Her smile remained incredibly sweet, possessing an innocent naiveté. But for some reason, coupled with Qiu Tu's words, it seemed somewhat ironic.

Qiu Tu didn't seem to mind and continued speaking.

"You might not believe it. But think about it carefully."

"A few days ago, you came with me to the 'Execution Department.' You know that the higher-ups there don't really like me, and they've deliberately made things difficult for me, right?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine nodded slightly.

Qiu Tu took out two "Celestial Ranks" and said, "You saw how I broke the deadlock back then. You should also know that I used the 'Celestial Ranks' given to me by the Shepherd God King to deceive them into believing that Elena was behind me."

Jasmine nodded again.

Seeing that Jasmine was gradually being drawn into his rhythm, Qiu Tu's expression became increasingly serious.

He began to explain, "It's different from the 'Chaos Faction'."

"Within the Temple of Order, the direct lineage is a very important force."

"Having a loyal following means having the potential to become a powerful regional official."

"After all, throughout history, those who have achieved great things have only a handful of core members around them."

"Five exceptionally capable core members are enough for me to accomplish many great things."

"Therefore, my enemies in the 'Temple' will certainly not tolerate my development in this way."

"They will most likely attack and kill the trusted men I recruited."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine's face showed a hint of realization. "So you mean... what you initially wanted to ambush were actually the enemies inside the 'Temple'?"

Qiu Tu nodded seriously, even naming names directly, "Yes. For example, the Star Forging God King and the Heavy Stone God King."

"I believe that if I were them, I would never let Xiaola and the others see me alive, no matter what method I used."

"That's why this ambush happened."

Although Jasmine may seem naive and innocent on the surface, that's all an act.

As the undisputed queen of the "Chaos Faction," she certainly wouldn't be so easily fooled.

So she opened her large, watery almond-shaped eyes and asked in a tea-like tone, "But, brother...."

"With your intelligence, how could you not guess that those two god-kings wouldn't act personally, but instead would use someone else to do the dirty work?"

At first glance, Jasmine's words sounded like praise for Qiu Tu, but upon closer examination, one could detect the distrust within them.

But since Qiu Tu was going to test Jasmine, he had naturally made the necessary preparations.

So he said with a serious expression, "I did guess that they might use someone else to do their dirty work."

"They even guessed that they would use our 'Chaos Faction' as a weapon."

“But…” Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said, “I didn’t expect these chaotic gods and god-kings to be so stupid.”

Jasmine: ? ?

If it weren't for the need to maintain her public image, Jasmine would probably be looking at the confused old man on the subway right now.

If you're going to explain, then explain. Why start mocking me like this?

Fortunately, Qiu Tu only made a simple sarcastic remark. After seeing the question mark above Jasmine's head, he continued to explain.

"However... I already had a contingency plan."

"Even if the Star Forger God King and the Heavy Stone God King use the Chaos God King and the Celestials to attack me, and the people I ambush change from them to the Chaos God King and the Celestials, we will still make a profit."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine's face showed a hint of curiosity. She tilted her head and looked at Qiu Tu, waiting for his answer.

Qiu Tu didn't keep him in suspense. He looked at Jasmine and then said calmly, "Exchange prisoners."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine was stunned for a moment, then a look of realization appeared on her face.

Qiu Tu stood up, exuding an air of strategic confidence.

He said, "Although the 'War to Protect the Divine Kingdom' is over, and the conflict between the 'Chaos Faction' and the 'Temple of Order' has subsided, there are still many unresolved issues."

"For example... the Chaos faction actually captured some Order God-Kings and Celestials."

"The 'Chaos Path' is not the 'Destruction Path'; there is no need to destroy prisoners."

"These God-Kings of Order and Celestials have been imprisoned in the 'Chaotic Western Capital,' but they are of little value."

"I captured this batch of chaotic gods and god-kings, which is perfect for exchanging with them. It will create a win-win situation."

Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then continued, "I will definitely be in charge of this exchange."

"Then... when the selection process begins, I can take the opportunity to win people's hearts and minds, allowing these gods and god-kings to strengthen my power within the 'Temple'."

"And you, having obtained this batch of chaotic gods and god-kings, are perfectly capable of dealing with them yourselves..."

Qiu Tu gave Jasmine a deep look and said, "They were so easily manipulated by the Star Forging God King and the Heavy Stone God King that they are clearly just a bunch of good-for-nothings who are good at making things worse."

"Even staying in the 'Chaos Faction' will only have negative consequences."

"Therefore, how to handle this is entirely up to you and the God-King Shepherd..."

As Qiu Tu finished speaking, the entire small garden fell silent for a moment.

Jasmine's mind raced: how could she not understand Qiu Tu's implication? Qiu Tu was clearly implying that these prisoners brought back through the exchange could directly become resources for the advancement of her loyal followers.

After all, in the minds of the other chaotic deities in "Chaotic Western Capital", these gods and god-kings have been captured by "Temple of Order", so they will not feel any problem if they disappear completely.

This is similar to how the higher-ups of the "Chaos Faction" attack various underground divine kingdoms and then devour the lower-level chaotic gods.

Because this was originally the route set by the "Chaos Faction" leadership, it was not difficult or risky to carry out.

Thinking this through, Jasmine hesitated: Is it really that simple?

Qiu Tu clearly betrayed the "Chaos Faction" and ambushed the Chaos God King and the Heavenly God, but... it turned out to be a win-win situation?

The Temple of Order retrieved the captured gods and god-kings, replenishing its strength once again; Qiu Tu made contributions and gained a group of confidants; their own side got rid of the group of prisoners who only knew how to eat and also recovered a batch of "supplies" from the Chaotic Path.

Everyone's won, they're all exhausted from winning, so who lost?

To be honest, before talking to Qiu Tu, Jasmine was on high alert and kept reminding herself not to be swayed by Qiu Tu's sweet talk.

To everyone's surprise, after talking for a while, Jasmine was actually quite moved.

'This guy's mouth is really something else...'

Thinking this, Jasmine couldn't help but take a deep look at Qiu Tu.

'No wonder Kora and Zeki were both fooled by him like this....'

Silently raising her guard to its highest level again, Jasmine carefully considered her words before speaking, "I basically agree with what you said."

“But…” Jasmine paused, using the God King of Shepherd Heart as a shield to gain more room for consideration, “You also know that whether this matter can be done or not still depends on the God King of Shepherd Heart to make the decision.”

"Therefore, all I can say is that I will pass this message on to Shepherd God King today."

"As for his reply, I'm not sure."

Hearing Jasmine's words, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, then said, "That's enough."

"I believe His Majesty Muxin will agree to this win-win solution."

Jasmine gave Qiu Tu another deep look, then remembered her own persona and smiled sweetly, "I also think that God King Mu Xin would agree."

After saying that, she tentatively asked, "Shall I contact His Majesty Mu Xin now?"

Hearing Jasmine's hint, Qiu Tu knew that his "betrayal" of the Chaotic Faction was temporarily over.

But he came to see Jasmine today for more than just this topic, so he said with a smile, "Jasmine, don't be in such a hurry."

"I actually have other questions I'd like to ask you."

Jasmine had long guessed that Qiu Tu's purpose in looking for her wasn't limited to this, so she said she was leaving, but in reality, she didn't even move her buttocks.

Hearing Qiu Tu say this, she smiled sweetly and asked, "Is there anything else, brother?"

Qiu Tu gave Jasmine a deep look and went straight to the point, "What do you think of Larilu?"

Chapter 774 Elena: To Qiu Tusancheng (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Qiu Tu's question was undeniably ingenious.

You should know that Qiu Tu just witnessed the conflict between Jasmine and La Riluo.

Therefore, if there's nothing between Jasmine and Lariluo, and Jasmine doesn't have any special feelings for Lariluo, then Qiu Tu's question is just the beginning of a very ordinary attempt to "mediate."

It can be easily rounded off.

But if Jasmine and Larilu do indeed have the kind of relationship that Qiu Tu guessed.

Jasmine would then become wary, even guilty.

However, once her emotions change, her demeanor and tone will definitely "distort" during the subsequent Q&A session with Qiu Tu, and she may even reveal some information that she should not reveal.

In this way, Qiu Tu can further verify his conjecture...

However, although Qiu Tu asked a very clever question, the Chaos Witch was not a simple person.

The moment she heard Qiu Tu's question, she realized that Qiu Tu had guessed something.

So, with a chill running down her spine, she immediately sealed away her memories with Larilu without a word, turning herself from a "blind player" into a "closed player."
