Chapter 927 Qing'e: What are they doing?! (Requesting monthly votes)

Seeing Elena's expression, Qiu Tu looked puzzled, wondering why Elena was looking at him.

Elena seemed to have read his mind.

So she placed the empty bowl of porridge by the bedside and then took the initiative to explain, "Mo Se just gave me an order that concerns you."

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu was slightly taken aback, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Is it related to yourself?
That golden light was a communication technique used by the higher-ups of the "Temple," belonging to the highest level of secrecy. Normally, it should only be used for major decisions of the Temple. What could it have to do with him, a "useless" person who was preparing to keep a low profile?
So, a question mark popped into his head for a moment.

"Is it related to me?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's questioning words, Elena shifted her position and leaned back against the headboard.

She already had a great figure, and the thin gauze dress she wore was made of extremely soft material, so with every movement, the dress immediately outlined a breathtaking curve.

Last night's frenzy didn't seem to tire her out; instead, it seemed to nourish her more deeply, giving her a unique radiance.

She looked at Qiu Tu, nodded, and her eyes, which always carried a hint of intoxication, became more thoughtful.
Yes. It's related to you.

Upon receiving Elena's confirmation once again, Qiu Tu's brows furrowed slightly.

His return to the "Temple of Order" this time was intended to bide his time and secretly develop his strength.

Based on his understanding of the old foxes in the temple's upper echelons, they would definitely choose to act cautiously without fully understanding his strengths and weaknesses, and would never ask him to do any extra tasks at this critical juncture.

Unless this task is absolutely necessary for him. And even he can't refuse.

It's even possible that this mission didn't even originate from the "temple."

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he had a guess in his mind.

Sure enough, just as he was thinking this, Elena spoke slowly.

"It's the 'Chaos Faction'."

She said, "Just this morning, the 'Chaos Faction' sent a message to the 'Temple,' demanding that we honor the original agreement regarding the 'exchange of prisoners of war.'"

"Even the Witch of Chaos herself has spoken, specifically requesting that you personally escort the prisoners of war from the 'Chaos Faction.'"

"After all, this deal was initiated and executed by you personally."

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but click his tongue softly, feeling a bit of a headache.

In just a few seconds, he had thoroughly reviewed everything he had done in the past two years, leaving no stone unturned, and not a single thing that could give the higher-ups of the "Temple" any clues or room for maneuver.

Aside from the prisoner exchange!
The "exchange of prisoners of war" was a "political achievement project" that Qiu Tu took the initiative to undertake in the western branch of the "Temple" in order to improve his status and strength.

It was driven by his secretly good relationship with the "Chaos Faction" and the opportunity presented by the great war between the "Chaos" and "Order" factions.

At that time, Qiu Tu visited "Chaotic Western Capital" twice, reached an agreement with Lao Bai, also known as the Shepherd God King, and started this plan.

As a result, they encountered the "Destroying Royal Court" attack on the "Chaotic Western Capital," a major event that affected the entire historical process of the "Ancient World."

Even so, he infiltrated the "Chaotic Western Capital" and retrieved the captured deities from the "Temple of Order" from Old White, successfully returning them to the Kingdom of Dionysus and settling them in.

It was precisely because of this achievement that Qiu Tu's prestige and status in the western branch of the "Temple" rose sharply, and his strength increased significantly.

Later, due to the three-way war between "Chaos," "Destruction," and "Immortality," the prisoners of war from the "Chaos faction" were never returned.

In other words, this deal is only halfway done.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable and justified for the other party to make such a request now.

He couldn't even find a reason to refuse.

After all, this was the work he had proposed and was responsible for. And no one else could take it on.

Qiu Tu just couldn't understand why Jasmine had to cause trouble at this time.
Isn't she in the "Land of Dionysus" now?

If you want to see yourself, you can just do it directly. Why go through all that trouble?
Moreover, given his current sensitive status, would the "temple" really feel comfortable letting him leave?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Elena.

He pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "My lord, you are aware of my current special circumstances. Are you sure you don't want to send someone else to the temple?"

For example, Qing'e.

Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said, "She participated in both of my missions to the 'Chaotic Western Capital.' Having her represent me should be sufficient to complete the mission."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena used her slender fingers to curl a strand of hair that had fallen onto her ample bosom, lazily curling it while observing Qiu Tu with interest.

After a moment, she smiled and then shook her head slightly.

“This shouldn’t work.”

She looked at Qiu Tu, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "According to the information from Mo Se, this mission was specifically requested by the 'Chaos Witch'."

"Moreover, the wording was very strong. Therefore, the temple could not refuse."

"So, actually, the 'Temple' is curious now about why someone of that person's status would be so curious about you."

"In the identity of 'that person'?" Qiu Tu caught the key point in Elena's words.

He frowned slightly, then couldn't help but say, "Isn't the 'Chaos Witch' just a high-level God-King?"

"Even if there are differences in strength among high-level god-kings, they shouldn't be afraid of her, right?"

"So, why do you say 'in her 'status'?"

Elena chuckled upon hearing this.

Instead of answering directly, she smiled and asked, "Qiu Tu, don't you find it strange? Chaos, Order, and Destruction—why are they called the three 'superior' paths?" This time, Qiu Tu genuinely didn't understand Elena's meaning, so he couldn't help but say, "Isn't it because these three paths offer the opportunity to resonate with the 'Origin of the World' and attain the highest position?"

Elena played with her hair and nodded lazily, "Yeah."

"but."

"Why would the high-ranking god-kings of the three major paths know about this?"

"And why would the high-ranking god-kings of the other three pathways approve of this?"

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind.

Yes, how is this secret, which concerns the ultimate mystery of the world, verified?
Surely it couldn't have been decided by everyone sitting down and discussing it together?
Elena seemed quite pleased with the shock on Qiu Tu's face. She lazily shifted into a more comfortable position, her voice carrying a hint of guidance.
"Think about it again, why...the Chaos Witch, the Destruction Tyrant, and that 'one' in our 'Temple of Order' who is rarely seen and whom ordinary god-kings can never meet."

"Don't you think their status in the entire ancient continent is very special?"

Qiu Tu was extremely intelligent, and this kind of thing wasn't exactly a secret; it just required him to think outside the box.

Qiu Tu had already guessed it when Elena gave him the hint.

Now, Elena's words were even more insightful, simply allowing Qiu Tu to verify his own inner thoughts.

He nodded slightly, already fully understanding.

The reason why the six major paths accepted the three superior paths and three inferior paths so readily is clearly because these high-level god-kings have already verified their respective paths.

Destruction, order, and chaos are certain they can lead to the highest position because someone has already embarked on that path.

That is, the Witch of Chaos, the Tyrant of Destruction, and the God-King ranked first in the "Temple of Order".

Although they are also high-level god-kings, their realm has far surpassed that of ordinary high-level god-kings, and they have taken another step closer to the supreme position.

This not only established the status of the three major pathways in the "Ancient Continent," but also gave the three of them a transcendent status in the "Ancient Continent."

Therefore, the Chaos Witch was able to take advantage of the "Chaos Era" to single-handedly "beat up" the other five major pathways and earn the title of "Number One in the World".

Therefore, the Destruction Tyrant can ignore warnings from other sources, directly block the five major pathways, and launch a war. The other pathways dare not speak out, and can only observe first.

It was precisely for this reason that the Temple of Order compromised after the "Chaos Witch" solemnly requested Qiu Tu to personally carry out this task.

Because unless "that person" from the "temple" intervenes, they have no reason to provoke the "Witch of Chaos" over such a trivial matter.

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Elena slowly said, "Actually... if I'm not mistaken."

"Even if those three had the chance to help you block this, they probably wouldn't do it."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Elena.

Elena lazily glanced at Qiu Tu, then said meaningfully,

"Actually, I'm not the only one interested in your quality."

"Especially after you deliberately concealed your abilities and bided your time, those people are probably very curious about your true strength."

"You've blocked all their ways of verifying your worth. Now that there's a rare opportunity to verify you, they're naturally happy to go along with it."

"After all, if you're not willing to contribute to the 'Temple' now, then no matter how strong you are, you won't be of much value to the 'Temple'."

"So even if the 'Witch of Chaos' manages to force you to stay, the temple won't suffer much loss."

"Besides, if you really have the ability, after verification, they can certainly ask 'that person' to come out of seclusion and bring you back from the 'Witch of Chaos'."

Hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

This was indeed the only loophole in Qiu Tu's entire plan.

However, when Qiu Tu made the plan, he thought that Jasmine was waiting for him at the base and would not undermine him.

Now it seems that Jasmine may have some plans of her own, or there may be other secrets behind this matter.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu made his decision.

Since Jasmine was the one who made the move, instead of struggling with Elena or playing games with those foxes in the temple, I might as well go and talk to the instigator.

Let's see what she's planning to do.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu's expression returned to calm. He stood up and said, "I understand."

"In that case, I'll go and make some preparations, and then prepare to trigger it."

Elena, draped in a thin veil, leaned against the bedside and then lazily hummed in agreement.

Watching Qiu Tu's handsome departing figure, Elena couldn't help but recall her slightly weakened state during her physical examination that morning.
'Should we eat one more time before he leaves?'

'Who knows, maybe my true nature will actually be restored in time?'

Thinking this, Elena's eyes flickered.
After a moment, her spiritual power seemed to sense something, and she couldn't help but come back to her senses, then looked towards the entrance of the main hall.

At this moment, at the entrance of her bedroom, a girl who still carried the faint aura of a god-king stood at the door, staring blankly at Qiu Tu's back.

The young goddess was beautiful and graceful, with a long and elegant swan-like neck. She was none other than Elena's assistant: Qing'e.

Clearly, Qing'e was on her way to find Elena when she saw Qiu Tu coming out of Elena's bedchamber early in the morning, and she was somewhat surprised.

Elena didn't seem to care much. After all, she was the one who started things with Qiu Tu first. It was just that Qing'e had given it a try.

So, she lazily withdrew her gaze.
However, while she didn't care, Qing'e was clearly somewhat bothered.

Qing'e's eyes widened as she watched Qiu Tu's departing figure, then unconsciously turned back to glance at Elena's bedchamber.
At this moment, a faint, ambiguous yet familiar scent of photinia flowers seemed to linger in the air of the bedchamber.
Qing'e swallowed hard, her whole body stiffening.
At this time, Qiu Tu was unaware that Qing'e had discovered his affair with Elena.

He flew all the way back to his base in the Dionysian Kingdom, intending to find Jasmine and discuss what she was planning to do.
