"As it turns out, I found out that after Lady Hua Wanwan carefully inquired about the cause and effect of the matter, she had Qiu Tu write a statement and sign it."
"This way, she avoids delaying important matters and completely absolves herself of responsibility. It's a tactic she often uses."
Hearing the explanation from the Sea God King, the Heavy Stone God King's brows did not completely relax.
However, this explanation did make sense, so after pondering for a moment, he finally let the topic drop.
He thought for a moment, then said, "So now, quite a few gods want to pledge allegiance to him?"
The Vast Ocean God King responded, then added, "Furthermore... he also sent someone with the 'Celestial God Rank' to fetch his trusted confidants."
"Go pick up your trusted confidant?" Upon hearing the words of the Vast Ocean God King, the Heavy Stone God King's face revealed a thoughtful expression.
After a moment, he seemed to mutter to himself, "The first group of people he brought in must all be his most trusted and capable confidants, right?"
"He probably took these people in to solidify his position within the 'Execution Department.'"
"But... the two factions have just finished a major battle, and the situation is still chaotic. What if these people accidentally die on the road...?"
He didn't finish his sentence, but the God King of the Vast Ocean understood instantly.
The Sea God King's beady eyes gleamed with a sharp light. "Moreover... his confidants aren't necessarily from the 'Order Path'."
"If something happens, no one will care."
"He's the only one affected... After all, these five divine positions were bestowed by the 'Temple.' Nominally, these five gods belong to the 'Temple.'"
"Therefore, he must replenish these five celestial beings. Otherwise, he will lose the strength of the 'Temple'."
Seeing that the Vast Ocean God King understood his meaning, the Heavy Stone God King's smile slowly faded. He said in a deep voice,
"However, as colleagues, we certainly can't do these things. So, let's just leave it at that."
"Let's leave it at that."
After saying that, he paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, that guy Zhuxing is very interested in Qiu Tu's matter."
"Go and tell him everything we discussed today. Let him understand."
The Vast Ocean God King clearly understood the Heavy Stone God King's implication.
So he smiled and replied, then bowed his head and said, "Yes, sir..."
They exchanged a smile, their unspoken understanding unspoken...
Although they had some conflicts of interest with Qiu Tu, it should be noted that the first person to have a conflict of interest with Qiu Tu was the Star Forging God King.
So why bother taking matters into your own hands when things happen? Wouldn't it be better to let the Star Forger God King play the villain?
Moreover, compared to the chaotic "Execution Department," a powerful regional official like the Star Forging God King has more manpower, more confidants, and can operate more secretly.
When Qiu Tu's confidants are intercepted and killed, the time Qiu Tu can maintain his position in the "Temple" will be significantly extended.
With no one else available and Qiu Tu all alone, it would be difficult for him to make any waves in the "Execution Department"...
Even if Qiu Tu really investigates this matter, and eventually finds out that it involves the Star Forging God King, it will have nothing to do with the two of them.
If Qiu Tu and the Star Forging God King were to fight, the "Execution Department" would be even more secure...
It can be described as using someone else to do the dirty work, killing multiple birds with one stone...
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the Star Forger God King can actually intercept and kill Qiu Tu's group of confidants.
However, after considering the comparison of the two sides' strengths, the Heavy Stone God King and the Vast Ocean God King felt that there were still not many problems.
.....
Meanwhile.
In the Kingdom of Dionysus, in Qiu Tu's bedroom.
Qiu Tu also welcomed Jasmine into his bedroom.
Upon entering Qiu Tu's bedroom, Jasmine blushed slightly and said shyly, "Brother, I'm coming into your room so late, won't my sister misunderstand?"
"If it can't be explained clearly, it could get into trouble."
Hearing Jasmine's words, Qiu Tu closed the door nonchalantly, then smiled and said, "It's alright. We're both innocent. As long as we have a clear conscience, how could anyone misunderstand us?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine lowered her head, bit her lip, and said, "But... what if they feel guilty?"
Qiu Tu was taken aback. He looked at Jasmine and said, "Do you feel guilty?"
Jasmine's visit tonight clearly had ulterior motives, so she glanced outside, walked to the window, lowered her head, and whispered to Qiu Tu, "I don't know why, but these past few days when I've been with my brother, my mind has been in turmoil."
"That's why I deliberately went to the small garden tonight, hoping to attract my brother's attention."
"After my brother invited her into the room, she was actually very nervous."
"I always felt like my brother wanted to do something."
Hearing Jasmine's words, Qiu Tu licked his lips, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Jasmine... you really guessed right."
"I invited you here today because I actually have something I want to do."
Upon hearing this, Jasmine blushed even more and asked, looking down, "What is it?"
Qiu Tu looked at Jasmine and said, "Could you go and pick up a few of my trusted confidants?"
Jasmine: ? ?

Chapter 769 Zhao Ji: I Don't Care (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
For a moment, the Witch of Chaos almost thought she had misheard.
Although her body wasn't considered stunningly beautiful, it possessed certain unique features that made her a beauty.
Add to that the novelty and the fact that he actively offered himself to her, and the Witch of Chaos was certain that Qiu Tu would be tempted.
In fact, in order to attract Qiu Tu even more, the Chaos Witch has used some tricks in the past two days.
For example... she deliberately revealed some small details to arouse Qiu Tu's suspicion about her identity, thus adding more value and excitement to herself.
For example... she deliberately used some underhanded tricks to compete with Zhao Ji for favor, and then deliberately let Qiu Tu see them, making Qiu Tu feel a sense of pleasure in being fought over.
For example... she would deliberately use subtle, witty remarks or other methods that Qiu Tu could easily discern to curry favor with him. This was to allow Qiu Tu to establish a psychological advantage over her.
In general... she was constantly providing emotional support to Qiu Tu.
It was this combination of moves over the past two days that made the Chaotic Witch feel confident that Qiu Tu would "reveal his true colors" tonight.
And that's it?
Qiu Tu was stunned when he saw me. He then warmly invited me into his room, saying he was going to do something for me, but... it turned out he wanted me to go pick someone up?
This sudden turn of events nearly bent the witch of chaos in the back.
However, as the undisputed queen of the "Chaos Faction," the Chaos Witch certainly wouldn't break down just because of a mishap in her plan.
So she quickly suppressed her emotions, then looked at Qiu Tu with her big, watery almond-shaped eyes, smiled sweetly, and said innocently, "Of course I will do my best to complete my brother's arrangements."
After saying that, she glanced shyly at Qiu Tu, her long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly, and then lowered her head and said, "Besides this, brother, is there anything else you want to say to me, or do for me?"
Upon hearing the words of the Chaos Witch, Qiu Tu actually pondered for a moment.
After a moment, he lightly slapped his forehead and then said, "There really is!"
He walked up to the Witch of Chaos and placed his hands on her shoulders.
Sensing Qiu Tu's actions, the Chaos Witch seemed to "guess" what was about to happen. Her body trembled slightly, her heart pounded like a deer, and two red clouds reappeared on her lowered face.
She asked in a barely audible whisper, "What...is it?"
Whether it was her superb acting skills or some other method, her voice trembled, as if she were genuinely both expectant and afraid.
At this moment, Qiu Tu gently stroked her smooth shoulders, his face getting closer and closer to hers.
The Witch of Chaos had already gently closed her eyes.
In the darkness, she felt Qiu Tu getting closer and closer. She could almost feel the warmth of his breath and his faint scent.
The Witch of Chaos still outwardly appears submissive, but her consciousness has begun to try to detach itself:
As the queen of the "Chaotic Path," she can tease Qiu Tu in order to let Zhao Ji see Qiu Tu's "true colors," but she can't actually let Qiu Tu take advantage of her.
Therefore, this body of hers is just a clone that she "created" at will, which can house her consciousness and can also leave.
Now that Qiu Tu is about to be exposed, she is naturally preparing to close the net and catch the fish.
As a result, just as the Chaos Witch's consciousness was about to leave, Qiu Tu's mouth brushed past the Chaos Witch's cheek and came to the Chaos Witch's ear.
The next second, Qiu Tu's voice rang in the ears of the Chaos Witch, "Jasmine. Among the people who came this time is Sister Zhao Ji's younger sister."
"She has a rather eccentric personality and is not very strong. You must keep a close eye on her."
"When you return in triumph, I will reward you handsomely."
Qiu Tu casually took advantage of the situation, but the chaotic witch, who was oblivious to human language and art, didn't understand at all.
Or rather, even if she understood, she was no longer in the mood to care.
She was slightly startled and wanted to open her eyes abruptly, but she was worried that Qiu Tu would notice something was wrong. So she could only slowly open her eyes like Sleeping Beauty.
Then, a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes at the opportune moment, and she asked knowingly, "Sister Zhaoji's younger sister?"
"Sister Zhaoji actually has a younger sister?"
Qiu Tu smiled and nodded.
Then he released Jasmine's hand, walked back to the table by the bed, sat down, and said, "Yes. Sister Zhaoji has a twin sister, who is a very interesting person."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Chaos Witch's expression shifted slightly.
She realized that Qiu Tu was unlikely to make a move on her tonight, so she simply stopped trying to seduce him and sat down next to him, asking, "Brother, can you tell me about this little sister?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu glanced at Jasmine beside him with a half-smile and said with a smile, "Of course."
Seeing Qiu Tu's expression, the Chaotic Witch didn't care at all.
The reason the Witch of Chaos wanted to bring Zhao Ji back to her senses was, of course, because she had learned a lot about Qiu Tu and his evaluation from Bai Yi.
Therefore, she was already aware of Qiu Tu's resourcefulness.
In addition, in order to arouse Qiu Tu's interest and to give her clone some value that Qiu Tu would find interesting, she deliberately exposed some abnormalities.
Therefore, she had long suspected that Qiu Tu had doubts about her identity. She just lacked concrete evidence.
She and Qiu Tu played this ambiguous, guessing game.
Therefore, she didn't care at all if she exposed even a little more abnormality.
Qiu Tu wasn't too surprised to see Jasmine like this.
He knew all along that Jasmine would be interested in Lariel's information and would definitely come to him with more questions.
The reason is simple: Lariro must possess a secret that the Witch of Chaos is interested in; however, apart from the one in white, the Witch of Chaos has no other way to learn about it.
"Boundless Heart Sea" is currently hidden, and the Chaotic Faction cannot go there for the time being, and Zhao Ji is a taciturn person.
Among the people around the Chaos Witch, only Qiu Tu knew anything about Lariluo.
Therefore, as long as Qiu Tu mentions La Ri Luo, the Chaos Witch will definitely be interested. And having the Chaos Witch pick up La Ri Luo further suits her intentions.
Therefore, the Witch of Chaos had no reason to refuse.
Qiu Tu's move was practically a calculated scheme.
As for why the Witch of Chaos was sent to pick up Lariel, the reason is quite simple.
Qinglan went to the "Boundless Sea of Hearts" alone, making her a very small target. Coupled with her unique divine skills, the possibility of her encountering danger was slim.
But this time, the help brought in from "Boundless Heart Sea" wasn't just a few women, but also a group of professionals.
Many of them are only at the fourth or fifth rank, or even the third rank.
They are weak, yet their target is large. The western part of the "Ancient Continent" has just experienced war and is in a state of chaos, making this operation particularly dangerous.
Moreover, Qiu Tu publicly stated in the "Execution Department" today that he has obtained the "rank of a god" and is preparing to transfer his cronies.
