Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1960 - 775: Qing Er: Lord Qiu Tu’s Boundless Potential (Requesting Monthly Ticket)_3

Given Qiu Tu's political literacy, how could he possibly not detect the underlying meaning in Qing Er's words, so his brow slightly furrowed as he looked at Qing Er.

Sure enough, Qing Er's tone shifted as she continued, "Just like the matter of ambushing the 'Chaos Camp' this time."

"The three of you cooperated, you commanded the battle, Heavy Stone God King managed logistical support, and Star Casting God King spread the information, completely annihilating the enemy."

"Such an operation also proved your mutual understanding."

Hearing Qing Er's clearly misleading words, the expression on Qiu Tu's face gradually tightened.

He looked at Qing Er, then thought briefly and asked, "Is this the God King's own intent, or is it Dame Elina's intention?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing Er did not respond directly, but continued, "Of course, your operation also achieved a significant victory, not only capturing over a hundred deities but also seizing a large amount of supplies."

"The portion submitted to the public treasury, both Heavy Stone God King and Star Casting God King have already handed it over."

"This is the reward Dame Elina is giving you."

As she spoke, Qing Er took out that 'Storage Card,' handing it to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu took the card, understanding the meaning in Qing Er's words.

Star Casting God King and Heavy Stone God King offered compensation to rectify their error in disseminating information to the 'Chaos Camp.'

And Elina agreed.

Playing with the storage card in his hand, Qiu Tu was indeed continuously weighing judgments in his mind.

He certainly wouldn't think Elina was bribed.

For a Guardian God King of Elina's level, although these external items are important, they aren't that crucial. Therefore, mere bribery wouldn't work.

Thus, it remains: this inherently aligns with Elina's intent.

Following this line of thought, Qiu Tu roughly guessed Elina's intention....

Sure enough, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Qing Er spoke again.

She looked at Qiu Tu, then softly said, "I've been beside Dame for years, often receiving her guidance."

"The words I've heard most often are: competing without breaking is the temple's bottom line."

"Since joining the 'temple,' one becomes a part of the 'temple,' also marking them as an essential force of the 'temple.'

Hearing Qing Er's words, Qiu Tu slightly nodded.

This aligns closely with Qiu Tu's previous guesses.

It seems.... Although Elina supported him, she didn't want matters to escalate further.

For the 'West Branch,' and for Elina, only achievements were gained thus far.

But if the situation continues to escalate, whether Qiu Tu overcomes Heavy Stone and Star Casting God Kings or vice versa, it all harms the 'West Branch's' interests.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think more.

Heavy Stone God King and Star Casting God King have worked with Elina for many years, likely already understanding Elina's character, hence why they would proactively apologize.

Moreover, they also confidently believed Elina would agree: not only was this inherently Elina's intent, but also due to.... Elina's own interests.

It must be noted that although Qiu Tu received Elina's support, the authorization was granted after Elina secluded herself.

If this matter were truthfully reported upwards, Elina's facade of seclusion would be exposed, divulging more details of her 'Lifebound Divine Skill.'

Heavy Stone God King and Star Casting God King precisely recognized this point, proactively alleviating Elina's burdens, helping her smooth over matters.

Frankly, Qiu Tu previously received Elina's support because their interests were aligned: both hoping to suppress Heavy Stone and Star Casting God Kings, both eager to earn achievements.

Now, with divergences due to conflicting interests.

There is no right or wrong, merely differing positions and perspectives.

Although Qiu Tu doesn't endorse Elina's approach, Elina remains his 'backer,' and since interest divergences are relatively minor, Qiu Tu sees no need to fall out with Elina over this.

All shall be reconsidered once his feathers have fully grown!

With this thought, Qiu Tu slipped the storage card into his pocket and smiled at Qing Er, saying, "I understand. Thank you, God King, for pointing this out."

Perhaps unexpectedly, Qing Er noticed Qiu Tu yielding so easily, and couldn't help but glance at Qiu Tu again. Seeing Qiu Tu's clear eyes, she briefly pondered, then smiled.

"Lord Qiu Tu's future is boundless."

Qiu Tu gently nodded, smiling in return, "All thanks to Dame Elina's and your guidance."

Taking leave from Qiu Tu, Qing Er walked back while recalling the entirety of her meeting with Qiu Tu.

In her mind, while Qiu Tu's talents were astounding and his methods were adept, his tactics often favored unconventional approaches, somewhat reckless.

She initially thought persuading Qiu Tu would require more effort. Surprisingly, it was simpler than expected.

This shows Qiu Tu is more mature and composed than she thought.

If such actions of Qiu Tu's daily workings were merely a façade?

Additionally, recalling Qiu Tu choosing the affiliation of Heavenly Gods with no problematic personnel, Qing Er felt even more intrigued.

Initially believing she understood Qiu Tu thoroughly, today's encounter revealed the newly minted God King seemed shrouded in layers of mist again.

'How... did he perfectly avoid those troublesome individuals?'

'Could it be... does he have other allies within the 'temple'?'

Thinking this way, Qing Er couldn't help but recall whom Qiu Tu interacted with these days.
