Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 473 - 309: Larilo is My Woman (10,000 Words for a Monthly Ticket!)_3

At this moment, Qiu Tu in the hotel room was like a tourist plunged into water, suddenly sitting upright, then gasping for breath with large, labored inhales and exhales!

A trace of fear and disorientation still lingered on his face.

The footsteps of Tan Huimin pacing outside clearly indicated she heard the unusual noises from Qiu Tu, but since they had agreed she must not enter the bedroom no matter what happened, she could only walk back and forth in the living room, worried.

Listening to the anxious footsteps outside, Qiu Tu slowly regained his composure.

He turned his head to glance at the four corners of the room. At some point, the four white candles had completely burned out, leaving nothing but wax on the floor.

And in the center of the room, the 12 sticks of incense had been reduced to nothing but ash.

Adding to the messy sheets on the bed, one could say the room was in complete disarray.

However, Qiu Tu paid no attention to these details; he was reviewing his recent encounter with Zhao Ji.

All in all... he had essentially achieved his goals.

The reason he took such a huge risk to contact Zhao Ji was, in fact, for three main purposes.

First, to personally meet the current Zhao Ji.

To see what kind of person this Great Evil God was, who had taken over half of Dongye State, controlled the Eight Great Regions, and was seen as a thorn in the side by the Sanctuary.

Second, to confirm the relationship between Larilo and Zhao Ji and see if there was anything he could exploit.

Third... to delay Zhao Ji in rescuing Larilo.

Qiu Tu had achieved the first two objectives.

From his contact with Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu felt that the current Zhao Ji was indeed quite different from the "Memory Fragment" depiction of Zhao Ji.

The present Zhao Ji was noticeably more profound and reserved. She seemed to prefer "Hidden Edge".

This could be inferred from her reticence and reluctance to express her own opinions.

More importantly, Qiu Tu sensed that Zhao Ji probably did not believe him.

But it was as if she had some other pressing matter, was in a hurry;

Or perhaps since Qiu Tu's words mixed truth with lies, although she didn't believe him, she couldn't figure out his relationship with her sister, and she couldn't be bothered to investigate further, so she let Qiu Tu off the hook...

This perception permeated all their conversations.

Zhao Ji knew Qiu Tu was a liar, and Qiu Tu also knew that Zhao Ji was aware of his deceit, but both tacitly continued the charade...

The reason for this, Qiu Tu speculated, was likely related to Zhao Ji's relationship with Larilo.

Although he had learned from Liu Xiongyuan early on that the two sisters had conflicts, according to "Crisis Intuition," it seemed almost irreparable.

So, even though she detected something amiss in Qiu Tu, and suspected his malicious intentions, Zhao Ji deliberately revealed some information to him anyway.

Such as the most crucial point... that controlling the Boundless Heart Sea Region required finding the region's Central Hub.

And the Central Hub of the Xinjie Territory was in Larilo's possession. Even though she had perished, she still knew the hiding place...

This was probably what Larilo had pinned all her hopes on for a turnaround!

But now... Zhao Ji had easily divulged this to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu guessed that she was trying to "entice" him, making him search for the region's Central Hub in advance.

Only... what Qiu Tu couldn't understand was:

Larilo clearly trusted that Zhao Ji would rescue her, and indeed, Zhao Ji had also intimidated the other Evil Gods, giving Larilo a chance to retake control of the Xinjie Territory...

So why would Zhao Ji want him to look for the Central Hub?

Was it... confidence that he wouldn't find it? Simply adding chaos to Larilo's situation.

Or... did she want to help Larilo for some reason but also wanted to use someone else's hand to eliminate her own sister...

And with this thought, Qiu Tu couldn't help reflecting on the "gift" Zhao Ji had given him...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu placed his right hand in front of him, opened it, and a simple, old coin quietly lay there.

The coin appeared somewhat similar to Larilo's, clearly also a device for communicating with Cataclysmic treasures.

Considering who this Cataclysmic treasure could connect with, Qiu Tu felt as if Zhao Ji was deliberately muddling the waters...
