Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 2029 - 798
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
"Offload this mission?" Heavy Stone God King murmured to himself, his eyes showing some contemplation as he pondered whether Hanhai God King’s assumption was reasonable.
After a moment, he shook his head slightly and then said, "No."
"Although gathering intelligence on the ’Immortal Three Giants’ is indeed somewhat difficult and challenging."
"But this mission was assigned to the ’West Branch’ by those existences."
"If Qiu Tu doesn’t do it, someone else must."
"So, him going to Elina would only make her think he’s incompetent, without achieving anything else."
At this point, Heavy Stone God King paused, his gaze deepened as he said, "Qiu Tu shouldn’t be so foolish."
The Heavy Stone God King’s words were quite logical, so upon hearing them, Hanhai God King also fell into deep thought.
He speculated again after a moment, "Could it be... Qiu Tu went to Elina for backing, seeking reinforcements?"
"He realized this mission is very difficult, hard for him to handle alone, so he hopes Elina will give him some help?"
This guess seemed more logical compared to the previous one, making Heavy Stone God King nod slightly after pondering for a moment.
However, even though he agreed with Hanhai God King’s assumption, Heavy Stone God King still felt uneasy in his heart.
Perhaps because he has been directly confronting Qiu Tu during this period of time, he feels he is starting to understand Qiu Tu more and more.
Qiu Tu is definitely not such a simple person.
To put it nicely, that guy is cunning and scheming; to put it not so nicely, he’s full of tricks.
If doing something were really this simple, he wouldn’t have suffered so many setbacks before.
’It feels like... something bad is happening...’
And at this moment, just as Heavy Stone God King was thinking this, suddenly a paper crane flew in from outside in a graceful arc.
Arriving in front of the two, the paper crane gently flapped its wings and then spoke with Qing Er’s voice, "Lord Zhong Shi, Lord Han Hai, Lady Elina requests your presence."
This is Qing Er’s special communication treasure—Instantaneous Movement Paper Crane.
This kind of paper crane can not only instantly move within the same world but also penetrate the world barrier, traveling to other worlds, making it a very powerful type of communication treasure.
Hearing Qing Er’s words, Heavy Stone God King and Hanhai God King exchanged a glance, seeing something amiss in each other’s eyes: Qiu Tu just left, and Elina is already calling for them? What are Elina and Qiu Tu up to?
However, due to the lack of clues, even though they had many doubts in their hearts, they still nodded and agreed.
The flying speed of God Kings is very fast.
Thus, very quickly, the two arrived at the main hall of the ’Wine God Country.’
Qing Er had long been waiting at the door to welcome the two.
Upon seeing Qing Er, Heavy Stone God King made a signal to Hanhai God King with his eyes. Hanhai God King tacitly stepped forward and then, with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "God King Qing Er, I wonder what business Lady Elina has in summoning us late at night?"
Having served as an assistant to Elina and dealt with responsible God Kings from various departments for years, Qing Er certainly knew the scope of answering such questions.
So she smiled and revealed a key yet not too important piece of information, "It’s related to Qiu Tu God King’s mission."
Upon hearing Qing Er’s words, Heavy Stone and Hanhai God King exchanged another glance, understanding each other completely: it was indeed related to the ’Immortal Heavenly Tomb’ mission.
Thinking this, they felt a bit more reassured and then followed Qing Er into the grand hall.
As a result, just as they arrived at the entrance of the grand hall and hadn’t yet settled in, they heard Qiu Tu’s voice coming from inside the hall, "Your Majesty, regarding the infiltration of the ’Immortal Heavenly Tomb,’ I think it still requires careful planning."
"Dispatching those ’Immortal Path’ Heavenly Gods. Never mind whether they are willing or not, forcibly sending them, they might instead directly defect to the ’Immortal Heavenly Tomb.’"
"Just considering the means of the ’Immortal Heavenly Tomb.’"
"’Immortal Heavenly Tomb’ governs through a high-pressure regime from top to bottom."
"They have a complete set of high-pressure methods convenient for controlling their subordinates."
"Therefore, I don’t believe that our people in such a situation, upon going to the ’Immortal Heavenly Tomb,’ can remain loyal to us. Risking exposure and the risk of falling to continue passing intelligence for us."
"Moreover... if they join the ’Immortal Heavenly Tomb,’ they would surely be at the very bottom."
"By the time they climb up, who knows how long it would be, by then the chrysanthemums might have cooled."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Heavy Stone God King and Hanhai God King exchanged glances at the entrance, each seeing reassurance in the other’s eyes.
It seems... Qiu Tu came to Elina today indeed to shirk the mission.
If that’s the case, then that’s actually better.
Thinking this, the two, accompanied by Qing Er, stepped into the main hall.
Seeing the two enter, Qiu Tu and Elina automatically ceased their conversation.
The two approached Qiu Tu, first bowing respectfully to Elina, then glanced at Qiu Tu before finally speaking.
Heavy Stone God King, "Lady Elina, were you discussing with God King Qiu Tu about planting spies in the ’Immortal Heavenly Tomb’?"
Elina, seated on the divine throne, nodded slightly but noncommittally.
Seeing Elina agree, and combined with Qiu Tu’s earlier words, Hanhai God King instantly knew what he should do.
He looked at Qiu Tu and then said with a big smile, "God King Qiu Tu, the matter of planting spies in the ’Immortal Heavenly Tomb’ and collecting intelligence was decided by the High Order God Kings."
