Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1426 - 617: Su Wanqing Offers Her Loyalty

Are you representing the Kou family to seek peace? The Kou family knows Qiu Tu is about to leave, so it doesn't seem necessary to seek peace.

Want to collaborate with Qiu Tu again, planning to leverage the Third Sanctuary? Qiu Tu thinks... there might be a possibility.

However... compared to this possibility, Qiu Tu actually leans more towards...

'Is the Kou family ready to place their real bet?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu roughly speculated in his heart.

He came back to his senses, then looked up at Tao Yaoyao by his side, and said, "Okay, I know. Go ahead and welcome them, I'll be down shortly."

Tao Yaoyao responded, then turned and exited the room.

After Tao Yaoyao left, Qiu Tu washed briefly, then checked the time. More than ten minutes had passed before he leisurely walked downstairs.

Coming downstairs, Tao Yaoyao was accompanying Su Wanqing, sitting on the sofa chatting, while Candle Dance was also sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.

Perhaps because this Seventh Rank Great Evil God was too attention-grabbing. Both Tao Yaoyao and Su Wanqing occasionally glanced over at Candle Dance.

Candle Dance might be accustomed to other people's curious gazes, so she didn't mind at all, continuing to ponder...

Seeing this scene, Qiu Tu didn't disturb her but waved at the two women from afar, signaling them to come to him.

Seeing Qiu Tu's gesture, Tao Yaoyao stood up and quietly invited Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing nodded slightly, then gathered her skirt, gracefully stood up.

After standing, she walked in a gentle, rhythmic motion behind Tao Yaoyao, as if each step produced a lotus, arriving at Qiu Tu's side.

It might be because it was still raining outside, or perhaps the woman before him exhibited her soft tenderness so vividly.

Anyway, as she walked closer with each step, Qiu Tu felt a fragrant mist rushing towards him.

Reaching Qiu Tu's side, Su Wanqing gently bowed and said gracefully, "Speaker Qiu."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then led the way, "Let's talk in the study."

Arriving at the study, Qiu Tu gestured for Tao Yaoyao to leave, leaving just him and Su Wanqing in the room.

Both were wise individuals, so Qiu Tu didn't bother with convoluted conversations, instead directly asking, "Kou Xuan has finally decided to place a bet?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Su Wanqing chuckled lightly and softly replied, "Speaker, you're jesting. Hasn't the Kou family already placed their bet long ago?"

Qiu Tu looked at her, "So...."

Su Wanqing said, "Raising the stakes."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then curiously asked, "You all should know I'm about to leave the 'Northwestern Region', right?"

Su Wanqing nodded slightly.

Qiu Tu, "Once I leave, I can't come back. Your Kou family has deeply rooted in the 'Northwestern Region', investing in me seems hard to realize, doesn't it?"

Su Wanqing appeared well-prepared and unfazed by Qiu Tu's query.

Her eyebrows like new moons, her eyes akin to a clear spring, flowing with the soft sentiment and poetic grace of Jiangnan's water towns. "Our Kou family doesn't merely aim for family development and continuation."

"On the premise of ensuring the family's survival, we're also willing to assist and support more Serpents, True Dragons."

"Even if we can't reap substantial benefits, it's still good to leave favorable connections."

Pausing here, Su Wanqing added, "Moreover, both I and the Family Head sincerely admire the Speaker."

"We see promise in the Speaker's future and hope to contribute to the Speaker's path to ascendancy, gaining a modest merit in following a leader."

Continuing, Su Wanqing rose and bowed to Qiu Tu, "Thus, my visit to the Speaker today is a genuine allegiance."

"I come with sufficient sincerity."

"Hoping the Speaker will accept me." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Listening to Su Wanqing, and watching her perform the courtly gesture, Qiu Tu's eyes narrowed, not immediately responding.

He pondered for two seconds, then asked, "Why is it you and not Kou Xuan?"

Su Wanqing didn't conceal anything.

She kept her head lowered, respectfully saying, "The path the Speaker treads is indeed perilous. My cousin desires to accompany you, but for the family's continuation, he truly cannot bring the entire family into danger."

"Moreover, over the years, his hands have been stained with much blood and dark things."

"Even though he's made past attempts to sever ties, but... if one wants others not to know, one mustn't act. Eventually, things will be exposed. He doesn't wish to affect the Speaker's grand enterprise because of him."

Here, Su Wanqing stated firmly, "But to demonstrate the family's sincerity, the Kou family is now thoroughly divided."

"I'm bringing half of the Kou family's assets and resources in the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region' to pledge allegiance to you, the Speaker."

Half the assets...

Upon hearing Su Wanqing's words, even the usually composed Qiu Tu couldn't help but have his pupils subtly contract.

As a thousand-year-old family, the Kou family's assets are practically breathtaking.

And even during the Era of Disaster, many of these assets became bubbles, but... let's not forget, it's the Kou family that supported King Kang from scratch to establish a Sanctuary.

Afterwards, the Kou family shared the world with King Kang, ruling the Sixth Sanctuary for decades.

During this period, the accumulated wealth and Cataclysmic Material certainly far exceed imagination, possibly even comparing to the entire Eighth Sanctuary.

Back then, the Eighth Sanctuary pooled its entire resources to easily produce several Fifth-Order Calamity Beings, which is still vivid in Qiu Tu's memory.

And now, this vast wealth is all being wedged to him?
