Chapter 1813: Chapter 732: You Don’t Understand Qiu Tu
’In my era, were there deities as outstanding as this?’
Images of a few people flashed through Candle Dance’s mind, but she quickly dismissed them.
Because... no matter how extraordinary someone was, they all seemed a bit inferior to Qiu Tu.
’Indeed, every era has its own protagonist....’
...
After seeing off Qing Lan and Candle Dance, Qiu Tu held a teacup as he walked to the window. While gazing at the scenery outside, he pondered.
Actually... when formulating a plan: the fewer the steps, the higher the success rate; and the fewer subjective actions, the higher the success rate as well.
For such a large counterattack plan, ultimately, Qiu Tu had only made one arrangement: to provide Little Yuan Yao with the coordinates of the "Underground Divine Country."
The rest... were all done by Little Yuan Yao and the Chaos God Kings themselves.
Precisely because there were few steps, and mainly because it allowed the "Chaos God Kings" to act spontaneously, Qiu Tu felt confident in its success rate.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but take a sip of tea and then collected his thoughts.
Returning to his senses, Qiu Tu set the teacup down, finally ready to engage in his second matter of the evening: Zhi Yan Heavenly King.
Before interacting with Yao Qin, Qiu Tu didn’t have a specific impression of West God King Heavenly Fury.
After all, compared to Bai Yi’s restraint and Long Chuan Ying’s arrogance, Heavenly Fury seemed less noticeable.
Yet unexpectedly, the last "God King Incident" not only allowed him to escape unscathed but also seemed to cause several upheavals because of him.
’This person is definitely not as simple as he seems....’
’He’s likely scheming something as well.’
With this in mind, Qiu Tu called for the maid and instructed, "Have Zhi Yan Heavenly King come to the study to see me."
"Yes." The maid gave a slight bow and promptly agreed.
With arrangements made, Qiu Tu took steps toward the study.
After sitting for a while, Zhi Yan Heavenly King elegantly arrived.
Even as a mother, Zhi Yan Heavenly King’s figure remained graceful, like a willow swaying in the wind. Her eyes carried the charm of a young matron.
Qiu Tu’s gaze lingered on Zhi Yan Heavenly King for a moment before indicating toward the sofa and saying, "Sit."
Zhi Yan walked over and sat down, then looked up at Qiu Tu, inquiring, "Did the Speaker call me here for Heavenly Fury?"
Being a pillar of the Second Sanctuary and rising to the challenge during humanity’s dire times, Zhi Yan Heavenly King relied not just on her beauty.
Therefore, when she knew Qiu Tu summoned her, she already had some guesses and was prepared in advance.
Qiu Tu gave Zhi Yan Heavenly King an appreciative look, slightly sighing in his heart, ’That’s the beauty of older women. They instantly know what to do.’
While pondering this, Qiu Tu also nodded.
He half-sat on the desk, looking at Zhi Yan Heavenly King from a 45-degree angle, and spoke, "Yes. This matter has piqued my interest in Heavenly Fury."
"I want to learn some details about him from you."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Zhi Yan Heavenly King tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and smiled gently, "The Speaker can ask freely. I will answer everything I know."
Qiu Tu heard this and chuckled, saying, "Then trouble Zhi Yan, my dear sister."
This appellation from Qiu Tu began when he first met Zhi Yan Heavenly King, carrying a hint of ambiguity and teasing. Yet... it matched the night’s ambiance.
Upon hearing this, Zhi Yan Heavenly King’s cheeks flushed slightly with embarrassment and annoyance.
Called to the study late at night, alone with a man in a room, naturally there was a trace of ambiguity, and Qiu Tu’s playful words were intentionally flirty.
At this moment, as Zhi Yan was thinking this, Qiu Tu took out a cigarette and held one between his lips.
Then he walked to Zhi Yan Heavenly King’s side, leaned down, and said, "Heavenly King, lend me a light."
Zhi Yan: ....
Zhi Yan Heavenly King didn’t have a lighter, but fortunately, her Cataclysmic ability was fire-related, so she extended her index finger.
The next second, a small flame appeared, lighting the cigarette in Qiu Tu’s mouth.
At their closest, there was less than 6 centimeters between Qiu Tu’s lips and Zhi Yan’s hand. Instantly, the room’s atmosphere grew even more ambiguous.
Even though she knew Qiu Tu was flirting, Zhi Yan Heavenly King was still distracted for a moment.
As smoke swirled around, Qiu Tu spoke up.
His eyes slightly narrowed as he watched Zhi Yan Heavenly King, asking, "How do you evaluate Heavenly Fury?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Zhi Yan Heavenly King slowly returned to her senses.
She immediately switched to work mode, frowning slightly as she replied, "Heavenly Fury is a typical God King on the ’Order’ path."
"He’s treacherous, cunning, and fond of scheming."
"And for all these years, he seems not to have truly trusted anyone."
"He resembles a lone wolf on the prairie, maintaining strong vigilance towards everything around him."
Zhi Yan’s evaluation of Heavenly Fury was indeed unexpected to Qiu Tu.
He couldn’t help but glance at Zhi Yan. Her face was like a blooming peach blossom in spring but emotionless.
It seemed like she was discussing someone she wasn’t interested in.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu hesitated a bit and then asked, "You don’t like him?"
Hearing this, Zhi Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Whether I like him or not doesn’t matter."
"Our union was inherently a political mission."
"We use him, and he uses us."
"It’s just...." Zhi Yan Heavenly King paused, then continued, "In my interactions with him, I discovered some secrets."
"Which make it hard for me to like him."
This was precisely what Qiu Tu wanted to know. So he asked, "What secrets?"
Zhi Yan Heavenly King looked at Qiu Tu and then said, "The ’Heavenly God’s Cataclysm’ two hundred years ago likely started because of him."
"Because of him?" Qiu Tu blinked and curiously asked, "How so?"
Zhi Yan whispered, "In fact... Star Casting God King and others pursued the ’Boundless Heart Sea’s’ heavenly gods because Heavenly Fury directed it."
She said, "After discovering the ’World Channel,’ Heavenly Fury left the ’Boundless Heart Sea’ with the first batch of heavenly gods."
"While other heavenly gods went to train, he chose to understand the rules and forces of the ’Heavenly God Battlefield.’"
"So, he soon discovered the colossal organization, the ’Order Temple.’"
"He attempted to contact them and sought to join. And... he succeeded."
Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment.
He extinguished the cigarette, moved behind Zhi Yan Heavenly King, placed his hand on her shoulder, and while increasing their physical contact, thoughtfully asked, "Is the ’Order Temple’ so easy to join?"
Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Zhi Yan Heavenly King said, "Yes."
"According to the ’Order Temple’s’ rules, any heavenly god on the ’Order Path’ can join the ’Order Temple.’"
"After joining the ’Order Temple,’ one is randomly assigned to an external institution."
"Completing the tasks they set grants corresponding contributions, allowing one to rise in level within the ’temple.’
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn’t help but say, "A bit like a game?"
Zhi Yan Heavenly King replied with a "Hmm," and then added, "’Order Temple,’ after all, loves setting rules. So it has detailed levels and a reasonable contribution system."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then the hand on Zhi Yan Heavenly King’s shoulder gently closed, giving her a slight shoulder massage.
To be honest, at that moment, Zhi Yan Heavenly King instinctively felt a bit uncomfortable.
But since Qiu Tu’s actions were gradual, and seemed unintentional with no malice, she hesitated for a moment.....
Should she reject Qiu Tu’s current contact?
