Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 906 Old Bai was arrested? (Seeking monthly votes)

Upon hearing the footsteps, Qiu Tu perked up his ears. He then pretended to be awakened by the sound, shook his head, and half-sat up, looking out of the tent.

A moment later, the curtain was lifted, and Princess Huiming and Ruolan entered one after the other, bringing with them the chill of the night.

Princess Huiming was still wearing the black python robe embroidered with gold patterns. Perhaps the changes in the situation tonight had upset her; although her beautiful face was expressionless, the imposing aura emanating from her was even more sharp than before.

Ruolan seemed to know her emotions, so she followed behind her with her head down and eyes downcast, even her breathing was extremely soft.

Seeing the two enter with those expressions, Qiu Tu felt inexplicably at ease. He looked up, meowed at the tall figure of Princess Huiming, and then tilted his head to look over.

Upon hearing the cat's meow, Princess Huiming's gaze fell upon Qiu Tu. Her steps faltered slightly, and a few unfathomable emotions flickered in her unfathomable eyes.

But in the end, she waved to Qiu Tu, then walked straight to the long table, sat down, and picked up a new battle report to read.

Upon hearing Princess Huiming call him, Qiu Tu mimicked the Cloud Cat God King's manner, letting out a soft moan filled with drowsiness. He then stretched, his snow-white body relaxing on the soft bed, before slowly jumping off and walking to the long table.

Kneeling at Princess Huiming's feet, Qiu Tu looked up at her with his heterochromatic eyes and asked, "Your Highness, what is the situation on the front lines of the 'Chaotic Western Capital'?"

"Why are you back so soon? Did something happen?"

His questions were perfectly tactful, reflecting the attitude of a loyal subordinate who cares deeply for his master.

Moreover, asking about the situation in "Chaotic Western Capital" first would also help him avoid arousing suspicion.

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Huiming gave him a deep look and then asked, "What? Is God-King Qiu Tu also interested in the battle situation in the 'Chaotic Western Capital'?"

Hearing Princess Huiming's question, to be honest, at that moment, Qiu Tu felt as if lightning had struck him on the head.

Only one thought remained in his mind: Oh no, did I make a wrong judgment?

However, Qiu Tu immediately sensed something was wrong!

If I really misjudged, given Princess Huiming's personality, she would ask me for advice instead of taking me down directly.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu, despite feeling very uneasy, quickly calmed himself down!
Fortunately, he was still replicating the state of Cloud Cat God King at this time.

So, even though he was momentarily distracted, he still managed to feign surprise without revealing any flaws. Then he blinked his round, cat-like eyes. "Your Highness, Qiu Tu? Who? Are you talking about me? Or that special envoy from the 'Temple'?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's flawless counter-question and seeing his flawless reaction, the atmosphere in the entire tent fell silent for a moment.

Princess Huiming sat there silently, watching Qiu Tu quietly, lost in thought.

She remained silent, and Qiu Tu and Ruolan dared not speak either, and the atmosphere in the entire tent fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, Princess Huiming slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she looked at her personal maid Ruolan opposite her.

Seeing Princess Huiming looking at her, Ruolan nodded knowingly.

She quickly looked at Qiu Tu, then smiled and smoothed things over, directly answering Qiu Tu's question.

"I didn't expect Lord Cloud Cat to be so interested in the battle situation in 'Chaotic Western Capital'."

"But don't worry, everything has been taken care of."

Qiu Tu didn't pay any attention to Ruolan's attempt to make amends.

Because, in his mind, Princess Huiming and Ruolan's previous statement that "chaotic Xidu" had encountered problems was to give him some space and test whether he would contact Zhaoji.

Ruolan is only saying this to save face for Princess Huiming.

After all, a monarch cannot afford to make mistakes. Even if a mistake is made, it cannot be admitted.

This is the position that the supreme ruler must maintain.

So Qiu Tu smiled nonchalantly and said, "That's good. That's good. But there's really no need to worry about His Highness taking action."

As he spoke, he prepared to smoothly shift the topic to the Ghost Face God King's actions that night and inquire about Zhao Ji's situation.

Before he could even speak, Ruolan gave him a genuine smile and added.

She said, "Of course. You didn't see how His Highness took action, and how the God King Mu Xin looked like he had lost his parents. He was subdued in one fell swoop."

"And after he was captured, the entire 'Chaotic Western Capital' quickly fell. Now the 'Royal Court's' army is beginning to take over."

Upon hearing Ruolan's words, Qiu Tu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was slightly startled.

What? A major battle really broke out on the "Chaotic Western Capital" battlefield? And Old Bai was captured?

Wasn't this intelligence a trap to lure me in? How come it seems to be true, judging from Ruolan's words now?
Or perhaps Ruolan said that on purpose to cover up her lie?

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu decided to ask Ruolan for more details to test her.

And then, at that very moment...

"Hurry up! Don't even think about stalling for time!"

A slight fluctuation of divine power suddenly came from outside the tent, followed by a noisy shouting and the clattering sound of chains dragging on the ground.

Upon hearing that sound, Qiu Tu's cat-like eyes involuntarily looked up towards the outside of the tent.

As a result, through the gap in the curtain, Qiu Tu saw that under the moonlight, Lao Bai was being escorted forward by two god-kings.

The man, who always wore a gentle smile and was dressed in white, now had tattered clothes stained with blood and dust. Several jet-black chains, flashing with destructive runes, pierced his collarbone, binding him tightly there.

His long hair was disheveled and covered most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression. However, from his tightly pursed lips and slightly trembling body, it was clear that he was enduring immense pain.

To be honest, in all the years Qiu Tu had known Lao Bai, he had never seen him look so disheveled.
So, Qiu Tu was a little stunned when he saw Lao Bai being arrested.

After the initial shock, Qiu Tu felt a chill creep into his heart.

Old Bai is the world lord of "Chaotic West Capital" and a top-ranking guardian god-king.

With such strength, and with his power further enhanced in his own world, he was still no match for Princess Huiming.

Just how strong is Princess Huiming?
Besides being shocked by Princess Huiming's strength, Qiu Tu felt a chill for another reason: if the battle in "Chaotic Western Capital" was real, and if Princess Huiming really was there to deal with Lao Bai...
Therefore, his previous judgment was very likely wrong! Princess Huiming leaving the camp might not have been to test him, but rather because she genuinely had urgent military matters to attend to!
He remained inactive and did not inform Zhao Ji.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu in the "Punishment God Realm" couldn't help but clench his hands, and his heart started pounding uncontrollably.
No! Don't panic!

At this critical moment, Qiu Tu bit his tongue hard. The sharp pain pulled him back from his chaotic thoughts and quickly calmed him down. His brain raced, rapidly reviewing everything that had happened that night, along with all the details beforehand, in his mind.

The chaotic battle situation in Xidu may be true.

It's true that Lao Bai was arrested.

But
Qiu Tu frowned slightly: The seemingly casual conversation between Princess Huiming and Ruolan in the tent earlier, and the flaw in the "intelligence" that was revealed at just the right time, were also real!

More importantly, Princess Huiming did not attack him after entering the camp, which proved that everything was developing as he had expected.
So what I'm seeing and hearing now is actually a test, a trap.

However, I may have been too perfect these past two days. This is most likely the last test.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu quickly calmed down.

He looked up, and a perfectly timed look of pride and excitement appeared on his cat-like face, but it quickly turned into worry.
"It really is the God King Shepherd Heart!"

"However, Your Highness, aren't we supposed to use 'Chaos in the Western Capital' to hold back the other major routes?"

"Now that we've taken over 'Chaotic Western Capital,' how can we buy time?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Huiming looked at him quietly, her unfathomable phoenix eyes revealing no emotion whatsoever.

After a moment, as if making a decision, she smiled authoritatively and said, "It's alright. Because our negotiations with those old guys from the 'Immortal Tomb' are nearing completion."

"Soon, the entire landscape of the 'Ancient Continent' will be completely transformed. We will no longer need to use 'Chaotic Western Capital' as a cover."

Whether she had truly given up doubting Qiu Tu or not, Princess Huiming suddenly became very carefree.

Qiu Tu also keenly noticed Princess Huiming's state. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Your Highness, now that the overall situation of 'Chaos in the Western Capital' is settled, how is Ghost Face's plan progressing at the 'Royal Court'?"

"There should be results by now, right?"

Qiu Tu proactively inquired about Ghost Face's plan because he was now the "Cloud Cat God King." She was in charge of the initial mission that connected with "Qiu Tu."

Although Princess Huiming forcibly assigned it to Ghost Face, she should still be concerned about the progress of the plan, both morally and logically.

Being overly concerned is a flaw. But showing no concern at all is also a flaw.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, Princess Huiming's gaze softened even more.

She didn't answer immediately. Instead, her slender fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the smooth tabletop, making soft "tap, tap" sounds.

Ruolan stood behind her, her head bowed even lower.

After a moment, Huiming looked at Qiu Tu and uttered three words indifferently, "Failed."

After saying that, Huiming pointed at Ruolan and said, "Ruolan, why don't you tell us about it?"

Then, she looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Perfect timing. Now that the 'Chaos in the Western Capital' is over, I plan to send you back to the 'Royal Court of Destruction' to resume your work liaising with Qiu Tu."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ruolan bowed and replied, then stepped forward and began to recount the Ghost Face God King's actions that day.

As Princess Huiming listened to Ruolan's story, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In fact, compared to Ruolan's account, Princess Huiming, who had seen the memories of the twelve god-kings, had a more thorough understanding of this operation.

She witnessed firsthand Qiu Tu's wit, confidence, domineering presence, and otherworldly qualities.

It must be said that this was the most unique and charming man she had ever met in her hundreds of years of life.

This sparked her intense curiosity about the handsome, aloof, and incredibly talented man.

However, it was precisely because she watched the operation 12 times from 12 different perspectives that Princess Huiming confirmed that "Qiu Tu" had not received any news from anyone.

This completely shattered her suspicions about "Cloud Cat God King" all these days.

Even though she still felt something was off, reason told her that she shouldn't doubt the "Cloud Cat God King" in front of her anymore.

So, after she made one last impulsive attempt and successfully passed the "Cloud Cat God King" test, she completely abandoned her doubts.

This led to her final relief and her renewed commitment to the "Cloud Cat God King".

"If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them."

Thinking this, Princess Huiming glanced again at Qiu Tu, who was squatting there patiently listening to Ruolan's story, and no longer hesitated.
At this moment, Qiu Tu was unaware that after more than a dozen tests, he had finally gained the trust of Princess Huiming.

At this moment, he was still immersed in Zhao Ji's impressive display of arrogance that evening.

What?
One sword strike instantly kills the Berserker God King?

Shouting to destroy the tyrant? Saying he dares to come and that he'll kill him?

Is it true that the Ghost Face God King is lucky?

To be honest, when Qiu Tu heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhao Ji's act was impressive, but in the end, she'll be the one to bear the consequences!
This battle is destined to make us famous throughout the world!
By then, his reputation for not fearing high-level god-kings will spread throughout the entire "Eternal Continent".

Although high-ranking god-kings cherish their reputation and rarely take action, there's always the possibility that a high-ranking god-king might feel offended and kill them on a whim.

And has Zeki evolved again?
The Berserker God King was no small fry; he was a half-step advanced God King, yet he was slain with a single sword strike.
Just how strong is Sister Zhaoji now?

At this moment, while Qiu Tu was still immersed in shock.

Suddenly, the majestic voice of Princess Huiming rang in his ears, "Cloud Cat. What do you think of Qiu Tu?"

Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, Qiu Tu was about to give himself a good scolding and vent his anger on behalf of Princess Huiming.

Just then, Qiu Tu suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Wait a minute, Princess Huiming's question sounds a bit strange.
Is this a question directed at an enemy?
