Chapter 901: A Trap Targeting Zhao Ji (iPad Giveaway)

'Shall we make our move tonight?'

It has to be said that Huiming's news was too sudden, so even Qiu Tu, with his composure, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

Even though he was currently in the state of replicating the Cloud Cat God King, at that moment, he almost couldn't control his body's instincts.

However, Qiu Tu was a man who had experienced many trials and tribulations, so his mind only wavered for a moment before he quickly regained his composure.

He knew that this was likely Huiming's final test of him.

If he can get through this, he will gain Huiming's initial trust.

However, if he doesn't make it through, for example, if he shows even a hint of the astonishment and worry that belongs to "Qiu Tu" instead of the reaction that belongs to "Cloud Cat God King", then all the efforts he and Zhao Ji have made during this period will collapse instantly.

So, under the gaze of Huiming's icy eyes, he remained calm, still mimicking the expression and movements of the Cloud Cat God King, then gently shook his fluffy head, letting out a lazy, deliberate "Meow?"

"They attacked the moment they met Qiu Tu?"

"That's a good idea."

"It avoids both the prolongation of time and the creation of more variables, and also avoids the possibility of being identified."

“However.” At this point, Qiu Tu had completely adopted the perspective of the Cloud Cat God King, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his heterochromatic cat eyes. “Based on my two encounters with Qiu Tu, he is a very cautious person.”

"When meeting a stranger for the first time, it is very likely that you will only use a clone instead of your real body."

"In this situation, Ghost Face and his men need to be prepared and not alert Qiu Tu so he can escape."

The perspective and way of speaking of Cloud Cat God King are actually completely different from Qiu Tu's.

If it were Qiu Tu, he would most likely ask the Ghost Face God King how he planned and how he would hunt him down, try to figure out the Ghost Face God King's arrangements, and then analyze the situation to see how critical it was.

But Cloud Cat God King is different.

She was clearly not interested in how the Ghost Face God King would operate; instead, she agreed and offered her own opinion, and most importantly, she didn't try to find out anything.

This is actually how a "normal person" behaves in the "workplace": not interfering in the affairs of other "colleagues".

After all, in the workplace, everyone has a different role and different tasks to handle.

Asking too many questions might just create unnecessary work for you.

By not asking too many questions, one avoids being assigned tasks outside their job description. This way, even if things don't go smoothly, one won't bear the responsibility. As for pointing out what one perceives as flaws, it's simply to show the leader that one has genuinely been listening to the topic.

Sure enough, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Hui Ming's gaze lingered on him for a moment before slowly withdrawing it.

Clearly, she was trying to glean something from Qiu Tu's reaction, but she failed.

However, Princess Huiming had spent a whole day laying the groundwork, so it was impossible that she would do it just for this one sentence as a test.

So she reached out and lightly touched a bright spot on the sand table representing "Chaotic Western Capital," saying in a calm and even voice, "What you're saying is indeed a problem."

"However, Ghost Face probably thought of this too."

"This time, he brought the elite of the 'Shadow' Division and also enlisted the help of twelve veteran God-Kings, including Berserker, to lay a trap."

"To be absolutely certain, he even retrieved several magical artifacts from the Royal Treasury, all in order to capture Qiu Tu."

"Qiu Tu's use of a clone trick was entirely within his expectations."

Her tone was indifferent, as if everything was already a done deal.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu felt a chill run down his spine once again.

He never expected that Ghost Face would go to such lengths to "kill" him.

But on second thought, it makes sense. "I" already have a high status in the "Temple of Order," and this time I infiltrated the "Court of Destruction" and stirred up trouble. I guess I've already become a thorn in the side of the "Shadow Division."

More importantly, when Huiming was examining the memories of the Cloud Cat God King, he saw the action plan of the three people, including the Ghost Face. In other words, this matter had already caught the attention of his "boss".

Who knows, Princess Huiming might inquire about this operation in the future.

Therefore, even if Ghost Face God King and Berserker God King weren't originally serious about this matter, they now have to put in 120% effort to show Huiming how hard they've worked.

'Sister Zhaoji, you'll have to work hard this time.'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu silently worried for Zhao Ji.

At the same time, he walked gracefully like a cat to Princess Huiming, rubbed his furry cheek against her ankles, which were covered by a black python robe, and made a satisfied "purring" sound in his throat.

It's clear that Cloud Cat God King doesn't want to continue this topic.

This is understandable.

After all, the relationship between Ghost Face God King and her is somewhat complicated. Although they are colleagues, they are also competitors.

This mission, which was originally intended to be coordinated with Qiu Tu, was transferred from the hands of Cloud Cat God King to Ghost Face God King due to Hui Ming's sudden intervention.

Cloud Cat God King would love for Ghost Face God King to fail, so why would he want to hear about this topic?

As for the failure, will it have any impact on Yunmao Shenwang?

It must be said that the arrangement Princess Huiming made in that instant was actually very ingenious.

This time, Qiu Tu was contacted by one of Cloud Cat God King's subordinates, and the information they wanted to report to Qiu Tu was about Cloud Cat God King's betrayal.

It can be said that this subordinate's stance is completely opposite to that of the Cloud Cat God King.

In this situation, even if Qiu Tu were ambushed, he would only assume that the traitor was this subordinate, and would not suspect Cloud Cat God King.

Even more so because this subordinate's stance is completely opposite to that of Cloud Cat God King, he will trust Cloud Cat God King even more.

All these reasons ultimately led to the real Cloud Cat God King not caring about or paying attention to this plan. He even wished for the Ghost Face God King to be more interested.

Therefore, her current behavior is completely reasonable.

At this moment, seeing Qiu Tu's perfectly normal demeanor, a barely perceptible hint of doubt flashed in Princess Huiming's narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes.
Clearly, after two days of testing, even though she was absolutely certain of her intuition, she was now beginning to waver.
Dinner was quickly served by Ruolan. The dishes were exquisite as always, but Huiming had little appetite. He only took a few bites before putting the food down.

Qiu Tu was held in her arms, being stroked casually. He squinted, enjoying the soft touch and the warmth of her fingertips, seemingly content, but his mind was racing, speculating about the great battle tonight at the "Destroy the Royal Court." Time flowed slowly in an eerie stillness.

Just when Qiu Tu thought the night would pass by so easily, Ruolan suddenly walked in quickly from outside with a document in her hand and came to Huiming's side.

She lowered her head and whispered to Huiming, "Your Highness, the Ghost Face God King has sent over the latest battle plan and wants you to review it."

Hearing Ruolan's words, Huiming, who was stroking Qiu Tu's furry body, paused slightly before casually resting her hand on Qiu Tu's furry fur again. She said indifferently,

"What need is there for me to review such a small-scale encirclement plan?"

"If they can't even do this much, they should be locked up in the imperial prison as provisions."

Hearing Huiming casually decide the fate of a guardian god-king, Qiu Tu couldn't help but raise his head slightly.

At this moment, Ruolan whispered, "Lord Ghost Face and the others also know that you are not interested in this operation."

"However, their revised plan this time involves His Majesty."

Ruolan's voice grew softer and softer as she said, "They're worried that if this operation fails, Qiu Tu will become more wary, making things even harder to handle in the future."

"Therefore, if the operation fails, we intend to directly request His Majesty's intervention. Using his identity as the 'Lord of the Royal Court World' and the clues left by Qiu Tu, we can pinpoint Qiu Tu's location and then eliminate him."

As they spoke, Ruolan reached out and handed the battle plan document to Huiming.
At this moment, Huiming did not react when he heard Ruolan's words, but Qiu Tu was suddenly shocked!
To ensure everything goes perfectly, Ghost Face actually wants to ask the Destruction Tyrant for help?

He's gone mad!

The six pathways have a tacit understanding, but unless there are special circumstances, the high-level god-kings of each pathway cannot act casually.

However, considering the current state of chaos in the "Ancient World" and the "Destruction Court's" increasingly focused attitude towards him, it seems understandable.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at the combat documents that Ruolan handed him.

However, before he could see it clearly, Huiming reached out and blocked it, saying, "Put it on the table, I'll look at it later."

Upon hearing Huiming's words, Ruolan quickly hummed in agreement, then took the combat documents, walked to the long table, and put them down.

After putting it down, she seemed to consider it carefully and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, Ghost Face's actions are rather urgent, and you may need to give a reply as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Ruolan's words, Huiming gave a dignified "hmm".

Then, while lifting Qiu Tu off her lap and handing him to Ruolan, she said, "Let me take a look."

Ruolan reached out and took Qiu Tu, holding him in her round arms.

Qiu Tu felt his head being pressed down by that soft, rounded shape, but his heart sank.

Because Huiming had just made two moves, he was clearly deliberately avoiding him and didn't want him to see the battle plan.

This likely indicates that the matter is true.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but try to recall the information he had jotted down in the brief moment.

Thanks to the God King's camera-like memory, Qiu Tu found a part of the battle plan in a corner of his memory.

The time of this operation was clearly stated: 11 p.m., which is 2 hours from now; the location was an abandoned library in Blackflame City; however, the personnel to carry out this mission and other details were incomplete.

Qiu Tu could barely make out the word "madness".

'Berserker?'

After muttering the name to himself, Qiu Tu felt it was pretty much the right one.

After all, Huiming had previously mentioned that Guilian wanted to ask Kuangzhan, a half-step advanced god-king, for help.

That's all the information I have.

So, while leaning against Ruolan's soft embrace, Qiu Tu memorized all this information and then thought about how to deal with it.
Soon, Huiming finished reading the battle plan and then picked up a vermilion pen to make a couple of marks on it.

After finishing the sketch, she folded the document, stamped it with her small seal, casually placed it on the long table, and then said authoritatively, "Send it to Ghost Face."

"Let him get started."

Upon hearing Huiming's words, Ruolan quickly carried Qiu Tu over and then reached out to pick up the document.

As she picked it up, a purple ripple flashed across the stamp on the document, like a seal.

This is to ensure that no one else has seen or tampered with the file before it is opened.

Lan Ruo bent down and put Qiu Tu on the ground, then took the documents, bowed to Hui Ming, and said, "Yes, Your Highness. I will take care of it right away."

After saying that, she took the documents and quickly walked out of the tent.

Watching her departing figure, Qiu Tu felt a renewed sense of pressure.
At that moment, Cloud Cat God King looked up at Huiming, and Qiu Tu followed his gaze.

At this moment, Huiming was dressed in a black python robe with gold patterns, sitting majestically behind a long table, her face expressionless, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Is this a trap, or psychological torture?

To be honest, perhaps because this matter is so serious, even with Qiu Tu's intelligence, he was unable to make a judgment in a short time.

In particular, he had not yet fully established a personality model for Huiming.

Therefore, he found it difficult to tell whether Huiming had already discovered his abnormality and was deliberately putting psychological pressure on him to force him to reveal his weakness.

Or perhaps they guessed his identity and were indeed prepared to capture him and Zhao Ji in one fell swoop, so they deliberately tortured him psychologically: making him watch helplessly as Zhao Ji was captured and killed, and then dealing with him.

Don't doubt whether Huiming can accomplish this. From Qiu Tu's understanding, at least half of the God-Kings who follow the path of destruction are psychopaths who enjoy torturing their enemies.

According to Huiming's records, she has also done a lot of things to torture her enemies over the years.

She is a true femme fatale.

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu found it even harder to tell whether the matter was true or false.
'Even Huiming himself engaged me in close combat. So, having the Destruction Tyrant strike and nip danger in the bud doesn't seem so unusual.'

So, should we take the risk and find a chance to inform Sister Zhaoji?

While meticulously mimicking the expressions and movements of the Cloud Cat God King to avoid revealing any flaws, Qiu Tu quietly pondered and weighed his options.
As he weighed his options, the image of Zhao Ji's breathtaking beauty kept appearing before his eyes.
After 10 minutes, Qiu Tu finally made a decision.
