Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1908 760: Zhao Ji Is Saozi, Right?
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
Perhaps detecting something unusual about Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji glanced at him with a cool demeanor and then asked puzzledly, "What happened?"
Qiu Tu softly voiced his assessment, "Actually... just after you finished recounting all the recent events, I sensed something amiss. But I didn't think much of it."
"However, it was the few words spoken by the 'Princess Xingyue' after being captured that led me to an unpleasant conjecture."
Zhao Ji, knowing that Qiu Tu never shoots without a target, listened to him intently as she continued to fly and also cast an eye towards him, her iceberg-like face betraying no emotion while clearly pressing for an answer.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu slowly began to explain, "Sister Zhao Ji, don't you find the 'Princess Xingyue' insanely illogical?"
"Although she came to the 'Chaotic Western Capital' with a mission, she is after all the daughter of a High Order Divine King; she shouldn't be at risk of having to commit suicide for failing a mission, right?"
"So... even if the mission failed, even if someone attacked her, even if her subordinates were killed or injured completely, she shouldn't just smash things up and instead attack other Destruction Heavenly Gods and Divine Kings."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's face also bore a touch of contemplation.
Qiu Tu, seeing this, continued solemnly, "Moreover... I remember hearing the 'Princess Xingyue' express urgency to advance when I pushed to the front row."
"Why would a princess executing a mission be eager for advancement?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji's picturesque face also showed a hint of hesitation, clearly puzzled by what transpired.
At this moment, seeing Zhao Ji align with his thinking, Qiu Tu began to reveal his conclusion.
He flew along while deeply looking at Zhao Ji and then said, "So just now, I came up with a bold idea."
Qiu Tu said solemnly, "I suspect... during this mission execution, Princess Xingyue likely played a game of 'substitute the crown prince stealthily'."
"She didn't personally lead the team but pretended to be a retinue, letting her confidant impersonate her to negotiate."
"In this way, she could lessen her target, reduce danger; maintain vigilance from afar and jump in at critical moments; and let a negotiation-savvy confidant take over her duties. Killing multiple birds with one stone."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji finally grasped what else he wanted to say. She lightly frowned and then looked at Qiu Tu with an icy demeanor, "Are you suggesting that..."
"The current Princess Xingyue is actually a fake? The real Princess Xingyue died on the road?"
"So... that's why the supposed Princess Xingyue went mad, attacked other Destruction Path Heavenly Gods and Divine Kings."
Qiu Tu nodded, then said seriously, "That fake princess probably has two aims."
"One is revenge, venting. Princess Xingyue's demise likely scared her, so she's venting her emotions."
"Secondly, the reason she stated. She wants to quickly advance to Divine King. This would allow her some self-preservation ability whether she flees or returns to the 'Destruction Royal Court'."
Saying this, Qiu Tu paused and then continued, "I have this suspicion for another important reason."
Qiu Tu glanced at Zhao Ji and whispered, "That fake princess's title for the 'Tyrant God King'."
Qiu Tu stated, "She didn't call him father, but addressed as... His Majesty the Tyrant."
"The entire title is just too unfamiliar, unfamiliar to the point of not resembling a parent-child relationship..."
Qiu Tu's reasoning is reasonable and his inference very plausible. Therefore, Zhao Ji's eyes naturally became more profound, icy, like a cold pool in the abyss. Her aura also turned more frigid.
Their conversation didn't continue further, because the topic to follow, they tacitly understood:
Qiu Tu's influence is concern over Zhao Ji possibly killing Princess Xingyue during the pursuit.
But... nobody knows which Heavenly God the real Princess Xingyue is, the fake 'Lucky Princess' was captured by others, making interrogation impossible.
Thus, for a moment, the High Order Divine King 'Tyrant' became the Damocles Sword hanging over their heads.
No one knows whether the real Princess Xingyue is dead or alive, killed by Zhao Ji or by other forces....
At this point, as Qiu Tu was contemplating this, Zhao Ji's voice suddenly echoed in his ear, "Eight months."
Qiu Tu looked at her oddly, not knowing what she meant.
Then he heard Zhao Ji calmly saying, "Give me eight months, I can cultivate to the extent of challenging a High Order Divine King."
Qiu Tu was stunned.
Though he knew Zhao Ji's talent was high, but... the gap between a High Order Divine King and a Divine King is enormous.
Though Zhao Ji possesses the ability for transcending combat, wanting to engage with a High Order Divine King requires at least a Level 5 Guardian God King's level, right?
Level 5 God King in 8 months?
Qiu Tu thought for a moment, thinking it's still better to directly cling to a thigh!
"Sister Zhao Ji, hungry hungry!"
Zhao Ji may have some understanding of human culture, but such trendy terms are clearly not well grasped.
She looked at Qiu Tu strangely, not knowing what he was doing.
However, possibly due to the threat from the High Order Divine King, she too felt a renewed sense of urgency.
She said, "I have already devoured 10 'Destruction Path' Heavenly Gods, ready to advance at any time."
"Only curious about Princess Xingyue's whereabouts did I keep following."
