Qing Er becomes suspicious of the day's events and decides to report to Elina. Meanwhile, the Hanhai God King informs the Heavy Stone God King that someone tipped off Qiu Tu, preventing their chosen candidates from being selected. They begin to suspect Elina, and then consider recruiting Hua Guanwan to strengthen their own department.

The Hanhai God King was clearly the military advisor of the Heavy Stone God King, playing a crucial role in strategy and offering opinions that were highly influential within this small team.

Therefore, when the Hanhai God King also agreed with his idea, the expression on the face of the Heavy Stone God King visibly relaxed.

However, he clearly understood the importance of this matter, choosing allies was far more important than choosing a wife.

A wife might at most get you imprisoned, but an ally could cost you your life.

Therefore, after the Hanhai God King agreed with his opinion, he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he sat casually on the throne, pondered quietly for a moment before slowly saying, "Could there be some issues with Hua Guanwan?"

Partnering with the Heavy Stone God King, the Hanhai God King had almost become the parasite in the Heavy Stone God King's belly.

So, upon hearing the Heavy Stone God King's words, he stroked his beard, his eyes the size of mung beans twinkling as if in deep thought.

After a moment, he said, carefully considering his words, "Are you suspecting that Hua Guanwan is a scout for another force?"

Seeing the Heavy Stone God King nod, he hesitated before saying, "I think... the probability is not high."

He said, "Hua Guanwan is a Third Rank 'Order God King', although a rising star in the last two hundred years, her strength is quite formidable."

"If she were just a Heavenly God, there would be a possibility of reincarnation and retraining in another path."

"But she is already a Third Rank God King, not far from becoming a Guardian God King, or even a High Order God King."

"Whether she can achieve those two realms depends on opportunities. Even High Order God Kings from other paths cannot ensure her promotion."

Upon this, the Hanhai God King specially pointed out Qiu Tu, "This point is different from Qiu Tu."

"After all, Qiu Tu just recently ascended to become a God King and was only a Heavenly God before."

"Even the time and method he achieved Heavenly God cannot be verified."

"Plus, his appearance was too coincidental and his actions quite suspicious."

"Thus, there is a substantial suspicion that he is a traitor cultivated by the 'Chaos Path'.

After finishing with Qiu Tu, the Hanhai God King redirected the topic back to Hua Guanwan.

He said, "By comparison, the God King Hua Guanwan is much more normal. She joined the 'temple' from the Sixth Rank and slowly grew to be a God King within the temple's system."

"Even her personality is the most typical 'Order Path' personality."

"If there is surely an insider within the temple, she would most likely be the last to be suspected."

"Unless...." At this point, the Hanhai God King joked, "Some path has invented a way to have a clone ascend to a God King across paths."

Hearing the Hanhai God King's words, the Heavy Stone God King couldn't help but laugh twice and said,

"If other paths were truly so formidable, they would have unified the entire Ancient Continent long ago."

Seeing the Heavy Stone God King agree with his viewpoint, the Hanhai God King couldn't help but laugh along and continued analyzing,

"Therefore, the likelihood of God King Hua Guanwan having issues is quite low. We can absolutely make her an ally."

"However... becoming allies with her has its problems."

Hearing the Hanhai God King's words, the Heavy Stone God King couldn't help but ask, "What kind of problems?"

The Hanhai God King said, "Her personality is overly rigid, she cherishes her reputation immensely, and she likes to leave a way out for herself."

"Thus... we can use her, but we cannot trust her."

"Otherwise, if something goes awry, we might find she's not only unwilling to share our risks, but also likely to be the first to retaliate and settle scores with us."

"Moreover... she can absolve herself entirely cleanly."

Upon hearing the Hanhai God King's words, a look of contemplation crossed the Heavy Stone God King's face, and he nodded slightly before speaking, "You are right."

"Reflecting on the interactions over the years, despite her rigorous and rule-abiding demeanor, she is actually quite cunning."

"That feeling is very peculiar."

"Reflecting on it now, this should be the reason."

"She indeed abides by rules but also maneuvers according to circumstances, striving not to offend others while preserving herself."

"This not only allows her to maintain a relatively neutral stance at the higher echelons but also helps veil her presence while biding her time."

"We have really underestimated her over the years."

After saying this, after a brief thought, the Heavy Stone God King also spoke, "In that case, Hanhai, could you prepare a gift for me and then take it to Hua Guanwan on my behalf?"

"Just say...."

His eyes flickered for a while before he finally spoke, "Simply express our gratitude for her support to our 'Execution Department' over the years."

Upon hearing this, the Hanhai God King promptly bowed his head in acknowledgment, "Yes, my lord."

With his response, the entire hall fell silent as both of them mused over their thoughts....

....

Meanwhile, within the Wine God Palace's main hall.

Qing Er was also conversing with Elina.

Since Qing Er was the only close aide here, Elina wore a plain, open robe, languidly reclining there.

She had a high bridge of nose, full prominent lips, and a voluptuous body. Her skin was as fair as snow, seemingly tender enough to squeeze out water. Even intoxicated, her body fragrance mingling with the aroma of alcohol inexplicably tempted one to draw nearer and revel in a kiss.

Qing Er had long grown accustomed to her superior's libertine air, so she remained unperturbed, directly ignoring the large expanse of milky white skin and her full-moon curves revealed by Elina's half-open neckline, and quietly began to speak,
