Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1932 - 767: Is She the Chaos Witch? (Monthly Ticket Request)_2

Silently pondering in her heart, Zhao Ji couldn't help turning her head to glance at the tightly shut palace gates. Through the thick doors, she seemed to see Qiu Tu….

Hopefully… Qiu Tu can see through it, and then settle all of this….

...

At the same time, Qiu Tu was also in conversation with the higher‑ups of the Western Division of the Divine Hall, the Divine King handler from the Training Department, Chaos Path spy Hua Guanwan.

She was a bit different from what Qiu Tu had imagined. Hua Guanwan was a woman who rarely smiled and looked somewhat capable and efficient. She was a little on the thin side, wore a pair of rimless glasses, dressed rather old‑fashioned, with a bit of an ascetic vibe.

Her looks were clearly very pretty, yet under that getup, Qiu Tu seemed to see the "Extermination Abbess" discipline director he used to joke about in his previous life.

And she indeed had a few habits very "discipline director"‑like.

For example… the moment Qiu Tu sat down casually, her brows imperceptibly furrowed ever so slightly; only after Qiu Tu sat up straight did her brows relax a little.

For example… everything on her desk was arranged with extreme neatness. Books were stacked from large to small, and even the corners of the books lined up perfectly with the edge of the desk.

Another example: when she took a sip of water and put the cup down, the handle had to form a perfect 90‑degree angle with the edge of the desk.

To be honest, Qiu Tu had met a lot of people and built many personality models. But someone this simple and straightforward was indeed rare.

With just one look, Qiu Tu had already sketched a preliminary personality model for the woman before him: obsessive‑compulsive, ascetic, meticulous, serious.

A complete contrast with her name: Hua Guanwan.

'Interesting….'

While Qiu Tu was observing Hua Guanwan, Hua Guanwan was also studying Qiu Tu through her rimless glasses.

She had always been paying attention to this newly raised Divine King Qiu Tu, which meant she had heard many rumors.

She had long guessed that Qiu Tu would come to her, just not this soon.

And combined with the direction Qiu Tu had come from, as well as certain rumors she had heard in the past two days about the "Execution Department", a certain truth inevitably took shape in her heart.

Thinking along these lines, she folded her hands on the desk, her gaze passing through the lenses toward Qiu Tu as she asked, "Lord Qiu Tu came to me right after taking office; I imagine there must be something you want?"

Hearing Hua Guanwan's words, Qiu Tu came back to himself and spoke.

He did not state his purpose outright, but tested the waters first. "Before I came to the temple, a friend told me that no matter what problem I run into, I can come to Lady Wan Wan for help. I wonder if that friend of mine was lying to me?"

At Qiu Tu's words, Hua Guanwan did not give a direct answer. She still sat ramrod straight, both stern and serious, and said,

"I don't have many friends, but not that few either. I'm not sure which friend you're referring to."

"In fact… as colleagues, we could also be considered friends."

"As for helping you…"

At this, she pushed up her glasses, the pale pink eyes behind the lenses flashing with a sharp light. "That depends on what kind of help you're asking for."

Hearing Hua Guanwan's watertight reply, a smile surfaced on Qiu Tu's face.

The scent of one's own kind is always the most familiar.

On Hua Guanwan, Qiu Tu could smell a familiar scent.

'Interesting.'

With that in mind, Qiu Tu couldn't help voicing his own thoughts. He said,

"Here's the situation. I've just joined the temple and need a group of my own people to get things done."

"According to the terms of my position in the temple, I should have 15 slots for Heavenly God Vassals."

"But I don't know these Heavenly Gods at all; I have no grasp of them and don't know them well. By contrast, in my own world, I have a team whose roots and background I know inside out."

"So, I want to exchange 5 of those slots for 5 Heavenly God Positional Frames and apply them directly to my own people."

At Qiu Tu's words, Hua Guanwan's brows snapped together with a sudden frown.

The eyes behind her lenses scrutinized Qiu Tu, and she slowly said,

"Five Heavenly God Positional Frames and five Heavenly God Vassal slots are not equivalent."

"Although Heavenly God Vassals are under the control of the Divine King, and rise and fall with the Divine King, they are still, in name, members of the temple."

"But five Heavenly God Positional Frames would amount to five Heavenly Gods whose name and control both belong solely to you."

She paused, then said, "Even though our Training Department has a decent reserve of Heavenly God Positional Frames, without authorization, we can't give them to you."

If it had been someone else here at this moment, upon hearing Hua Guanwan's words, they would most likely feel they'd come to the wrong person and think Hua Guanwan had politely turned them down.

But only someone well‑versed in Politics and long accustomed to spies like Qiu Tu truly heard the meaning behind her words.

Qiu Tu's first sentence had been to test whether Hua Guanwan was indeed a Chaos Path spy and whether she would help him.

Hua Guanwan had said many things that were half‑veiled and ambiguous, but the key was just that one line: Qiu Tu was not only her colleague, but also her friend.

The former meant that Qiu Tu and she worked together in the temple; the latter meant they were of the same path—in other words, an acknowledgment of identity.

Only, after acknowledging his identity, Hua Guanwan also reminded Qiu Tu: whether she could help him depended on the specific matter.

She had to help Qiu Tu without exposing herself.

Thus Qiu Tu, following along, put forward his request: to exchange five Heavenly God Vassal slots for five Heavenly God Positional Frames.

Upon hearing this request from Qiu Tu, Hua Guanwan did not reject it outright, but told him instead that this would be very hard to do, because the two were not of equal value.
