Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1977 - 781: Qiu Tu Arrives! (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Qiu Tu uttered a simple sentence, yet it contained a wealth of information. So, all of a sudden, Guan Xiao felt a sense of relief.

Moreover, perhaps Qiu Tu now truly possesses a unique charm. Although he did nothing, Guan Xiao felt that all the anxiety, worry, and grievances of the past few days vanished without a trace.

More importantly, once Qiu Tu appeared, her heart seemed to find its backbone, no longer worrying even when faced with major issues.

So, in response to Qiu Tu's reassurance, she displayed a charming and radiant smile, nodding vigorously.

However, to become Qiu Tu's most relied-upon subordinate, Guan Xiao certainly relies not solely on Qiu Tu's idle support.

Understanding the importance of intelligence, she didn't simply say nothing because Qiu Tu claimed he already knew.

She would rather say more herself and be reprimanded by Qiu Tu than let him make wrong judgments due to a lack of information.

Therefore, while leading Qiu Tu into the room and helping him change into formal wear, she began to recount the events of the past few days to Qiu Tu.

She began, "Sir, don't find me annoying. You might already have some understanding of the events of these past few days."

"But... as your adjutant, I still need to report the information I've gathered to you."

Seeing Qiu Tu slightly nod in agreement, Guan Xiao continued to report to Qiu Tu while helping him change clothes,

"You've been in retreat for five days. A lot has happened in those five days."

"Because you went into retreat immediately after coming out briefly, rumors spread throughout the 'Execution Department'."

"Many said you faced a problem during the breakthrough, and urgently retreated to heal."

"Others say you're avoiding direct conflict with the Heavy Stone God King."

"Of course... there are also claims that you might have gained some opportunity, found some sense, and are creating a 'Heavenly God Skill'."

Pausing for a moment, Guan Xiao said, "Due to worries that this retreat might negatively impact you, I chose the latter rumor as the official narrative."

After explaining the current public opinion situation, Guan Xiao immediately continued, "After that, it's the internal matters of the 'Execution Department'."

"Just two days ago, Han Hai God King sent someone to inform me about convening a God King Conference for the 'Execution Department'."

"All God Kings belonging to the 'Execution Department,' regardless of whether it's the Heavy Stone God King responsible for the department, or deputies like you or Han Hai God King, or even just regular middle layer management God Kings, will attend."

"Exceptions can be made for special circumstances."

She said, glancing at Qiu Tu, "When notifying me, Han Hai God King's attendant specifically hinted that in your situation I could request leave on your behalf."

"Also, in the past two days, I've investigated the circumstances of the God King Conference and confirmed it was indeed planned earlier and not intentionally targeting you."

Speaking here, Guan Xiao paused her hands, then continued to look down and said, "So I think they might be signaling goodwill towards us."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu displayed a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Guan Xiao continued to fix Qiu Tu's trousers while saying, "However... I think this goodwill seems rather cheap or somewhat off."

She remarked, "If they truly wanted to ease relations, they could have clearly handled the public opinion concerning you."

"Doing so would release much greater goodwill, be more effective, and... much more sincere."

It's clear Guan Xiao has been contemplating this matter over the past two days, so her words are reasonable and well-founded. She said, "In contrast, their private signaling of goodwill is too intriguing."

"Such privately signaled goodwill is not publicly known, so no price needs to be paid."

"When it comes to a matter of interests, one could completely tear up agreements directly."

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's analysis, Qiu Tu nodded deeply in agreement.

Guan Xiao's analysis aligned closely with his own thoughts.

If there was sincere intent, they could clearly show goodwill publicly. What's the point of privately signaling goodwill?

It's akin to being together yet remaining unannounced, not even posting on social media, typical of deceitful behavior, fundamentally not to be taken seriously.

So, Qiu Tu nodded nonchalantly and said, "Understood."

After speaking, Qiu Tu also said, "Has the God King Conference already begun?"

Guan Xiao glanced at the time and then spoke up, "It should have already started over ten minutes ago."

Speaking here, crouched before Qiu Tu, she lifted her head to glance at him, wanting to see if he wished to speed up.

But Qiu Tu merely nodded slightly and did not care.

Seeing this, Guan Xiao continued to focus on arranging Qiu Tu's clothes.

At this moment, Qiu Tu also slowly asked, "By the way, how is the situation over at the 'Chaotic Western Capital'?"

Guan Xiao knew Qiu Tu wanted to inquire about Zhao Ji's situation. So she considered briefly before speaking up, "These past few days, Her Highness Zhao Ji and the others have been rather busy. They haven't contacted us."

"The intelligence personnel did send back some information, only mentioning that everything is proceeding smoothly, and both of the Highnesses are very safe."

"However, due to their limited strength, besides being able to observe from afar, they couldn't gather much more information."

"So, the development of Her Highness Zhao Ji's situation is unclear."

"Just..." Upon saying this, Guan Xiao paused, then looked up at Qiu Tu and said, "These past two days, the 'Chaotic Western Capital' has become increasingly tumultuous."

"Conflicts between the local forces of the 'Chaotic Western Capital' and the 'Destruction Royal Court' investigation team have also intensified. Every day Heavenly Gods fall."
