Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1937 - 768: Jasmine: Brother, Is There Something You Want to Discuss by Inviting Me So Late at Night?
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
"After this incident happened, not long after, someone started spreading rumors in the 'Execution Department'."
"They said... the reason Qiu Tu was targeted even before reaching the 'Execution Department' is because he is deeply trusted by Lady Elina."
Upon hearing the words of the 'Turtle Prime Minister', the Heavy Stone God King's eyebrows furrowed, instantly understanding the heart-stabbing nature of this rumor.
He said in a deep voice, "So... now others believe Qiu Tu is actually sent by Elina to target me?"
The Hanhai God King heard this, chuckled and nodded.
"Yes. Now within the 'Execution Department', it's being circulated that this is an internal struggle among the higher-ups."
"It's believed Lady Elina has issues with us, so she sent Qiu Tu to balance things."
"And we're apprehensive, deliberately suppressing him."
Upon hearing the Hanhai God King's words, the Heavy Stone God King slammed his divine seat heavily, "Bullshit!"
With his strike, the armrest of the divine seat shattered.
The Heavy Stone God King's eyes were bloodshot, clearly infuriated by Qiu Tu's counterplay.
However, his anger came quickly and subsided just as fast.
Thus, after taking a few deep breaths, he swiftly calmed down.
He pondered for a moment and asked the key question, "Is the 'Heavenly God Positional Frame' he holds real or fake?"
The Hanhai God King instantly understood the implication in the Heavy Stone God King's words.
He began to explain, "Based on my observations, it's genuine."
"Moreover..." The Hanhai God King paused, then continued, "Afterward, I also tried to inquire around the 'Training Department'."
"Hua Guanwan indeed handed over five 'Heavenly God Positional Frames' to Qiu Tu."
Upon hearing the Hanhai God King's words, Heavy Stone God King's eyebrows wrinkled like they could squeeze a fly, "Hua Guanwan handed them over?"
The Hanhai God King hummed in acknowledgment, saying, "According to what I've understood, after Lady Elina promised Qiu Tu the 'Heavenly God Positional Frame', she immediately went into seclusion due to using the 'Original Divine Skill'."
"Hence, Qiu Tu didn't directly receive the heavenly god positional frame from Lady Elina but followed the procedure to obtain it from the 'Training Department'."
The Heavy Stone God King was evidently extremely knowledgeable about the situation at the 'temple's West Branch; he buzzingly questioned,
"With Hua Guanwan's cautious character, would she agree to this request with Elina in seclusion?"
As the responsible God King of the 'Execution Department', Heavy Stone was instantly triggered by professional instincts, "Wouldn't she be in trouble?"
The Hanhai God King heard this, laughing and said, "I actually have this suspicion too."
"So, I went to investigate further."
"As a result, I found out. It turns out Lady Hua Guanwan, after carefully inquiring into the whole situation, had Qiu Tu write a situation explanation and sign it."
"This way, it avoids delaying important matters and completely absolves her from responsibility. It's her usual means."
Upon hearing the Hanhai God King's explanation, Heavy Stone God King's eyebrows did not completely relax.
However, this explanation made sense, so after pondering for a moment, he ultimately moved on from this topic.
He thought for a moment and then said, "So now, there are already quite a few heavenly gods wanting to support him?"
The Hanhai God King responded with a sound, then added, "Additionally... he also sent people holding 'Heavenly God Positional Frames' to fetch his confidants."
"To fetch confidants?" Upon hearing the Hanhai God King's words, Heavy Stone God King displayed a pensive expression.
After a moment, he seemed to mumble to himself, "The first batch of people he should fetch are his most trusted and capable confidants, right?"
"He fetched these people possibly to establish a foothold in the 'Execution Department'."
"But... now the two factions have just concluded a war, and the situation remains turbulent. If these people inadvertently die en route...?"
His words were unfinished, but the Hanhai God King instantly understood.
The Hanhai God King's mung bean-sized eyes flickered with a keen light, "Moreover... his confidants may not necessarily follow the 'Order Path'."
"If something happens, no one will care."
"It only affects him... After all, these 5 heavenly god slots are granted by the 'temple'. Ostensibly, these 5 heavenly gods belong to the 'temple'."
"Thus, he must complete these 5 heavenly gods. Otherwise, it diminishes the 'temple's' strength."
Seeing the Hanhai God King understood his meaning, the Heavy Stone God King's smile gradually faded. He said in a deep voice,
"However, as colleagues, we certainly can't do such things. Therefore, just thinking it over is enough."
"This matter ends here with us."
After speaking, he paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, that Star Casting fellow is very interested in matters concerning Qiu Tu."
"Go share what we've discussed today with him. Let him understand."
The Hanhai God King clearly caught the Heavy Stone God King's hint.
So he smiled and acknowledged, then bowed his head, saying, "Yes, my lord..."
The two exchanged a knowing smile, expressing without words...
Despite having some interest conflicts with Qiu Tu, it's important to remember the first to have conflicts of interest with Qiu Tu is the Star Casting God King.
So, why bother doing anything and let the Star Casting God King be the villain, isn't that better?
Moreover, compared to the chaotic mix of the 'Execution Department', a senior frontier official like the Star Casting God King has more resources, more confidants, and acts with greater secrecy.
By then, intercepting this batch of Qiu Tu's confidants will instantly extend the time it takes for Qiu Tu to establish himself in the 'temple'.
With no useful individuals, Qiu Tu alone won't easily stir up trouble in the 'Execution Department'...
And should Qiu Tu really pursue this matter, investigating back and forth, upon reaching the Star Casting God King, both of them will have no involvement.
