Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1897 757: Jasmine: Brother, You'll Protect Me, Right?
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
Actually, regarding Jasmine's identity, Qiu Tu wasn't entirely sure. Even when he spoke about the "Chaos Witch" to Elina, it was more like he was pulling a bluff.
After all... many times, the facts aren't important; what's important is how to steer things in the direction one desires.
Therefore, when facing Elina, Qiu Tu directly confirmed Jasmine's identity as the "Chaos Witch."
Because he knew only the "Chaos Witch" could intimidate Elina and make her agree to let him be the double agent.
However, although he managed to fool Elina, Qiu Tu knows that to keep the double agent plan going, it's crucial to find out Jasmine's identity.
And... to confirm his double agent identity in front of Jasmine.
Double, double, neither side can be missing.
Therefore, after returning to the villa, Qiu Tu confessed to Jasmine about their identity exposure...
And to find out Jasmine's identity, Qiu Tu watched Jasmine's reaction, pretending to do so unintentionally after confessing.
This girl Jasmine was indeed interesting.
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, she was instantly filled with a surprised expression; she threw the book in her hand and jumped up, her face filled with anxiety, her tone urgent,
"What? Our identities have been exposed?"
She looked at Qiu Tu pitifully and said, "Then brother, what should we do?"
"Jasmine is so scared."
Listening to Jasmine's fake words, Qiu Tu didn't believe them at all.
Because he noticed that although Jasmine seemed scared, her eyes didn't change at all; if you looked carefully, you could even see a hint of laughter.
The feeling was like... she was hoping for things to unfold in this way.
Moreover, typically, upon hearing sudden major developments, one would inquire about the "details of the changes" rather than immediately asking "what should be done next."
Such behavior almost screams "I am suspicious."
Thinking this, Qiu Tu kept this detail in mind and began further confession and probing.
He took Jasmine's hand, sat on the sofa, then used "Special Treasures" to set up a soundproof region before slowly speaking,
"Jasmine. Listen to me first."
Speaking, Qiu Tu detailed every aspect of today's probing by Elina.
Everything he said was true, so there was no need to fabricate lies.
It was only when mentioning Jasmine as the "Chaos Witch" that Qiu Tu purposely paused and glanced at Jasmine.
At that moment, Jasmine just happened to be looking at him.
In the collision of their gazes, Qiu Tu clearly noticed a flash of amusement in Jasmine's eyes.
However, it was quickly replaced by surprise.
The speed was so fast that Qiu Tu thought he might have seen it wrong.
So he hurriedly rewound his memory, reviewing it meticulously several times.
Once sure he hadn't seen it wrong, Qiu Tu appeared unmoved on the surface, but inwardly he let out a relieved sigh.
The probability that Jasmine is the "Chaos Witch" exceeded 70%.
After all, if Jasmine weren't the "Chaos Witch" herself, given the "Chaos Witch's" status on the "Chaos Path," Jasmine should have been terrified or at a loss.
But there was a hint of amusement in her eyes, clearly a state of anticipation, like enjoying a game.
At this point, while Qiu Tu was thinking such things, Jasmine spoke again.
She was still pretending to be innocent and looked at Qiu Tu pitifully, saying, "Brother, why did you call me 'Her Majesty the Witch'..."
"If Her Majesty the Witch found out, she'd surely be angry."
Upon hearing Jasmine's words, Qiu Tu knew this was likely a test.
So he spoke righteously, "Don't worry, Jasmine."
"Recently, I've got a lot of information about 'Her Majesty the Witch' from Sister Zhao Ji, little Yuan Yao, and various sources."
"And I have confirmed that 'Her Majesty the Witch' is a beautiful and kind-hearted person, generous and tolerant. She has always been committed to bringing Chaos to the world."
"If she knows we're doing this to complete a mission set by the Guardian God King, she probably won't blame us."
"After all, in crucial situations, power takes precedence."
"You ought to know, I've caught the 'Order Temple's' attention, and soon you will too."
"If I don't elevate your status a bit, I fear the temple's interrogation department will soon call on you for questioning."
Saying this, a bright idea struck Qiu Tu, and he smiled as he supplemented, "You didn't see it. When I told Elina you were the 'Chaos Witch,' she was so terrified."
"She even explained to me how powerful 'Her Majesty the Witch' is, saying she's now the leader of the 'Ancient Continent,' even the temple's High Order Divine Kings are rivals of 'Her Majesty the Witch.'
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, a flash of amusement crossed Jasmine's eyes again, but she quickly collected herself.
Though fleeting, it was still caught by Qiu Tu's keen observation.
So his heart settled even more firmly.
—Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. I knew that despite differences in character, Zhao Ji's friends would probably enjoy flattery. It's just a matter of degree.
