Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1920 - 764: Zhao Ji and the Little Green Tea (Monthly Ticket Request)_2
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
Don't forget, Qiu Tu was just looking for a way to change his relationship with Zhao Ji drastically, and now it's delivered to him.
Of course, besides Qiu Tu wanting to further develop his relationship with Zhao Ji, there is another important reason for not stopping Jasmine. That is: Jasmine's identity.
Remember, in Qiu Tu's heart, Jasmine already has nearly an 80% chance of being the "Chaos Witch."
She is truly a giant; there are only a handful in this world who can match her in combat, which shows her power.
Plus, according to various information, the "Chaos Witch" always leans towards the "evil" faction as a Divine King. Following her could lead to trouble, let alone opposing her.
If he messes up and gets crushed, Qiu Tu would truly be inconsolable.
Thinking this way, Qiu Tu decided not to offend either party, skillfully navigating between the two women.
Now Qiu Tu has successfully rooted himself in the "Order Temple." The most important thing is to enhance his own strength, and then climb further up within the "Order Temple."
This is both to complete the tasks assigned by the "Chaos Witch" and the one in white, as well as a way to explore the "Supreme" path in this world.
To enhance his strength and to climb up within the "Order Temple," Elina has already pointed out the way for Qiu Tu: to take up his position in the "Execution Department," and then accept the fifteen Heavenly Gods that rely on him.
If he steps firmly here, Qiu Tu can not only advance to a second-level Divine King, but also be just a half-step away from the third-level Divine King.
However, thinking of this, Qiu Tu also felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
'Can all of this really be so simple?'
'Will something unexpected occur?'
After some internal forethought, Qiu Tu heightened his alertness and led Zhao Ji and Jasmine toward the "Execution Department"...
...
The Execution Department, one of the most important and elite divisions of the Western Division of the Order Temple.
The deities that joined the "Order Temple," after training, the most elite part of them would be allocated to the "Execution Department."
Thus, the "Execution Department" is one of the most powerful divisions in the West Division, whether it's a rebellion in the "Underground Divine Country" or an invasion through other means, the "Execution Department" will rush to the front line.
And when nothing major occurs, the "Execution Department" will also undertake tasks such as "supervision," "inspection," and "counter-espionage." It can be said to wield immense authority.
It is precisely because of the extensive powers of the Execution Department that it is the largest department for the Divine Kings; not to mention the lower-ranking Divine Kings with no position, but at the higher levels there is one lead Divine King and five deputies, making six with Qiu Tu.
Such a large number of senior members also signifies a complex factional terrain within the entire department.
Therefore, when Qiu Tu came to the "Execution Department," he was highly vigilant, fearing he might fall into a trap.
As a result, even under such caution, he almost stumbled just upon arriving at the "Execution Department."
"Sorry, Your Grace, we haven't received notice of your appointment. Therefore, we can't let you enter the 'Execution Department.'
"After all, you know the 'Execution Department' is full of secrets. Once leaked, we simply cannot bear the consequences."
Listening to the guard, Qiu Tu furrowed his brow slightly, suspiciously saying, "Didn't receive notice of my appointment?"
"You can contact your superior and see if maybe they forgot to convey it."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, that guard looked at Qiu Tu expressionlessly before saying seriously, "Sorry, Your Grace. Right now, I'm on duty and can't leave my post."
"You'll have to wait until I'm off-duty to verify it, or you can go verify it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked at the guard and asked, "Then where is your superior right now?"
The guard stood upright and seriously replied, "The superior is currently in the 'Execution Department.'
Qiu Tu glanced at the hall of the Execution Department behind him and said, "Then let me in so I can meet your superior."
The guard replied expressionlessly, "Sorry, Your Grace. Your identity hasn't been verified, so you can't enter such a confidential place as the 'Execution Department.'
If earlier Qiu Tu had some doubts, he was now almost certain the guard was intentionally blocking him.
To enter the "Execution Department," he needs his superior's permission; but to get the superior's permission, he must enter the "Execution Department." It's like running into a deadlock.
If this guard isn't being directed by someone behind the scenes, Qiu Tu wouldn't believe it.
However, Qiu Tu has just joined the "Order Temple" and hasn't fully grasped the overall situation of the temple yet.
Therefore, he didn't forcefully break in or kill the guard to establish authority.
He deeply looked at the guard, ingraining the image into his mind, then took out a Communication Treasure to contact Qing Er.
As Elina's chief steward, Qing Er has the power and obligation to coordinate various matters.
When Elina is in retreat, Qing Er serves as her representative.
Since Qiu Tu was appointed by Elina as the deputy of the Heavy Stone God King of the "Execution Department" and now being stopped even from assuming office, it's only natural for her to come and address and understand the situation.
Although this might be seen as weak, and maybe others would think he can't resolve matters himself. But.... arriving at a place surrounded by wolves, isn't it expected to show weakness?
So, if Qing Er can come to help him test the waters, why should he stubbornly try it himself?
