Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 458 A Night with Guan Xiao (7k monthly ticket required)
According to intelligence, the political structure of the Third Sanctuary is similar to that of the Eighth Sanctuary, with the Supreme Council holding the highest power.

But compared to the relatively barbaric political structure of the Eighth Sanctuary, the Third Sanctuary is much more mature.

Qiu Tu looked at it carefully and felt that the political structure of the Third Sanctuary was somewhat similar to the "parliamentary republic" in his previous life.

Although there are multiple factions among their top leaders, the competition between factions is more bloody, cruel and regular.

Unlike the Eighth Sanctuary where they sit in a row and divide the fruits of their labor, they tear everything down every five years, and then the various factions re-select and compete for the 36 seats in the parliament.

The faction that can occupy the most seats in the new parliament will re-form a new government and become the new rulers.

Just one year ago, the Third Sanctuary experienced a new bloody election. In the end, the "Order" successfully won the most seats in the parliament, became the ruling faction, and formed a new government.
After understanding the political system of the Third Shelter, Qiu Tu frowned slightly, and then his eyes quickly slid down to the list of speakers for the new parliament.

Kong Bin Wang, Barron Gross, Wanyan Zuyu, Cornelia.
Qiu Tu's gaze paused until he saw the last person, because the name "Shen Yuzhou" was clearly written on it.

'It seems that this person really exists.'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's suspicion of Shen Lingshuang dropped sharply.

He rummaged through the information in his hand.

As the vice-president of a state, Qiu Tu was only two steps away from the core layer of the shelter, so he had a very high level of access to confidential information.

The surface intelligence of the Third Shelter’s top brass is confidential, but has little confidentiality value, so it is very comprehensive.

So, it didn't take long for Qiu Tu to find several pages of information about Shen Yuzhou.

According to the intelligence, Shen Yuzhou is 42 years old this year. He is a member of the young and vigorous faction of the "lawful system" of the Third Sanctuary, and he is also the leader of the young and vigorous faction.

His origins are unknown. He was a child picked up by the leader of the Lawful System when he was out. He then followed the leader to study and grow up, and gradually became the backbone of the "Lawful System".

Later, he married the daughter of a senior member of another faction and had a daughter named Shen Lingshuang.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then turned to the next page.

What appeared on the next page was a familiar smiling face of a girl, it was Shen Lingshuang.

'call'

At that moment, Qiu Tu felt inexplicably relieved.

It seems that Shen Lingshuang did not lie to me. Her name and identity are real.

So from this point of view, she should not be the "special disaster material".

In this way, he and the fifth-order peak evil god would not have to face off directly.

This immediately gave Qiu Tu a lot of room for mediation.

As for that special disaster material, what should I do if I am new to it?
Well, the relationship between Xiaobai and Qiu Tu is not that deep after all.

Although Qiu Tu will keep it if he can, and will use it himself if he can, but if he really finds that it is impossible to do so, he will choose to give up without hesitation.

After having this "enlightenment", Qiu Tu felt extremely relaxed.

He slowly looked through the information about Shen Yuzhou and Shen Lingshuang as if he was getting to know Shen Lingshuang's family.

According to intelligence, Shen Yuzhou has a very good relationship with his wife and daughter. He is a very capable and family-oriented man.

Shen Lingshuang also showed her talents very early on.

For example, she has an excellent talent for "potions" and once discovered how to use 12 types of disaster materials.

For example, she has a strong talent for "weapon making" and has improved 5 commonly used "catastrophic treasures".

For example, she also has a very good talent for "cultivation". Before she was 18 years old, she had already become a fourth-level peak catastrophist.
When Qiu Tu first saw the first few pieces of information, he was a little careless.

——After all, although the "catastrophic potions" and "catastrophic treasures" refined by Shen Lingshuang always have all kinds of strange effects, at her age, it's okay to say that she has talent.

But when he saw the last description about Shen Lingshuang's strength, Qiu Tu was stunned at first, and then his eyes suddenly widened!
Wait a minute!

At the age of 18, he is a peak tier Cataclysm? !

Qiu Tu couldn't help but exert force suddenly, and the stack of information in his hand suddenly had several wrinkles.

The friction sound of the paper also reminded Qiu Tu that Tao Yaoyao was standing opposite him.

After all, this matter involves Shen Lingshuang's secret, and Tao Yaoyao's loyalty cannot be fully trusted.

So he quickly and calmly adjusted the strength of his hands to avoid losing his composure.

Although he could adjust the strength of his hands, he couldn't adjust his inner mood.

Because if he remembered correctly, Shen Lingshuang seemed to have always been an ordinary person.

Even when Qiu Tu was puzzled at first, she explained to Qiu Tu: The higher-ups in the shelter actually didn't dare to let their children awaken in a catastrophic way.

After all, there are many unpredictable dangers when embarking on the path of catastrophe. The stronger you are, the more susceptible you are to the influence of the path and the law. You may become distorted, go crazy, or be assimilated by the path.

Therefore, for the safety of their children, many people in high positions did not allow their children to undergo disaster awakening.

However, now, the intelligence shows that the "real Shen Lingshuang" is actually a Catastrophist! And she is a peak level 4 expert like herself!
This is totally inconsistent with Shen Lingshuang's strength and what she said.

What exactly is going on!

Could it be that Shen Lingshuang deliberately concealed her strength and deceived herself, and that she is actually a master?

As soon as this idea came into being, it was immediately rejected by Qiu Tu.

Because after the information introduced the various situations of Shen Yuzhou and Shen Lingshuang, the last paragraph was just updated a month ago.

It said: Shen Yuzhou and his only daughter Shen Lingshuang, on behalf of the Third Shelter, attended the "King's Dinner" of the Sixth Shelter and had a friendly meeting with the leaders of the Sixth Shelter, "King Kang" and "Princess Xi".

At the bottom of the information, there is also a photo.

The photo was taken in a magnificent palace, with four people sitting at a dining table and raising their glasses.

Sure enough, there was a girl sitting there, wearing a black puffy princess dress, a veil, and light makeup, looking like a night elf.

She had a face exactly like Shen Lingshuang's, but she didn't have Shen Lingshuang's silly sweet smile. Instead, she was full of confidence and ambition.

If Shen Lingshuang is a clear-eyed and foolish college student, then that girl is like the self-important but well-mannered female student union president in college.
'What the hell is going on?!'

Thinking about it this way, even with Qiu Tu's intelligence, he was a little confused about the truth of the matter.

If all this was just a coincidence and the two girls just looked a bit alike, then why were their family backgrounds and names exactly the same?
If these two girls are the same person, why is one in the south and the other in the north, and why are their personalities so different?

If they are twin sisters, it is impossible for them to share the same name, and even have the same talents and expertise, right?
Although Shen Lingshuang's "alchemy" and "weapon making" always have some strange side effects, it is undeniable that these are indeed what she is good at, and the quality is indeed good.

'There's something wrong here. A big problem.'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of Shen Lingshuang, an ordinary person who came from the third shelter to the eighth shelter. With such a noble status, she had no guards around her. Moreover, she had been missing for so long, and Shen Yuzhou didn't come to look for her.
Suddenly I felt that the problem was even bigger.

"Could it be that Shen Lingshuang is really the special disaster material?"

"I just don't know why. I have the memory of the "real Shen Lingshuang"? "

I don’t know if it was some mysterious induction, but once this conjecture was born, it has been lingering in Qiu Tu’s mind for a long time.
The light in the small hall was dim and weak, like a dying candle flame, quietly shining on Qiu Tu's body.

Qiu Tu sat on the sofa recliner with no expression on his face.

Outside the window next to him, light snow had begun to fall, and each snowflake was like ashes falling from the sky, shrouding the dark world in a gloomy paleness.

After being lost in thought for a moment, Qiu Tu closed the information in his hand, then looked up at Tao Yaoyao, "Okay, Secretary Tao, if there is nothing else, you can go back and rest first."

Tao Yaoyao has actually been a little nervous since she entered the house.

After spending half a month with Qiu Tu, Tao Yaoyao knew how much her boss liked beautiful women and how many fat and thin women were around him.

So, although she still doesn't want to lose her virginity to Qiu Tu, in fact, when she chose to rely on Qiu Tu, she had already made the worst plan in her heart.

After all, it was a chaotic time. Chastity was important, but not that important.

So, today, when she saw Qiu Tu wearing such loose clothes that even her breasts were exposed, her heartbeat began to accelerate.

When Qiu Tu invited her into the room to sit down, she was even more worried that Qiu Tu was going to take action tonight.
This made her a little distracted and uneasy from the moment she entered the room, and she didn't even pay much attention to Qiu Tu's expression when he was reading the information.

She ended up worrying for a long time, and that was it?
Are you letting yourself go just like that?

For a moment, Tao Yaoyao was a little confused as to whether Qiu Tu was playing hard to get or really intended to let her go.

So, she showed a puzzled expression on her pretty face, then pointed to the door tentatively and asked, "Then Speaker, am I really leaving?"

Qiu Tu's brain was working at full capacity right now, and he didn't notice anything abnormal about Tao Yaoyao at all.

So he waved his hand nonchalantly, "Go back and have a good rest."

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tao Yaoyao couldn't tell for a moment whether she should be happy or sad.

She walked towards the door in a daze, step by step with her long legs, feeling a little unreal: her boss has started to eat vegetarian food?

Thinking of this, Tao Yaoyao walked to the door, then put her hand on the doorknob, ready to turn the door open and walk out.

As a result, at the moment when she exerted force with her hands, Qiu Tu suddenly called her again.

"correct."

Hearing Qiu Tu's voice, Tao Yaoyao looked up suddenly, then turned around quickly and asked softly, "What's wrong, Speaker?"

Qiu Tu leaned on the sofa, frowned, lit a cigarette, and said, "I remember when we first met, you told me that you liked and were good at musical instruments."

"So I asked someone to buy you a few musical instruments today, including a flute, a flute, and a guzheng. They are all placed in the guest room next to yours. You can go and take a look."

After saying that, Qiu Tu took a puff of cigarette and waved his hand again nonchalantly, "Let's go."

Tao Yaoyao:? ?
Just like that, Tao Yaoyao left Qiu Tu's room with a question mark in her mind, and then returned to her own room.

After returning to her room, Tao Yaoyao sat quietly for a while, then suddenly stood up, clenched her fists, and shouted silently a few times!
Am I not pretty enough? Are my breasts not big enough? Are my legs not long enough?
Why don’t you even leave it for yourself to do it?
He is so enthusiastic towards other women and flirts with them in all kinds of ways, but why doesn't he want to be attracted to the grass next door to him?

This is so insulting!
The more Tao Yaoyao thought about it, the angrier she became!

Tao Yaoyao sulked quietly for a few minutes, and couldn't help but think of the "gift" that Qiu Tu had talked about.

"Could it be that the Speaker is not interested in me? He just respects me more? He wants to impress me little by little with his sincerity?"

'After all, why would he buy me an instrument if he wasn't interested in me?'

Thinking of this, Tao Yaoyao suddenly felt much better. So she hesitated for a moment, opened the door and walked to the next room. Ten minutes later, the sound of the piano rang out.

What she didn't know was that, along with the sound of the piano, the door of another guest room quietly opened, and then a dark shadow quietly moved towards the master bedroom of the villa.
"Dong dong dong."

With a crisp knock on the door, Qiu Tu, who had just finished smoking with a frown, looked up at the door and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

A familiar female voice with a pinched throat sounded outside the door, "A man seeking scriptures."

Qiu Tu:? ?
This sentence made Qiu Tu almost laugh out loud.

Guan Xiao is a woman with first-class abilities, and more importantly, she is also good at coaxing herself.

Do what you should do on weekdays, and occasionally do some fun things to impress her and make her feel new and interesting.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu suppressed his irritable mood and cooperated, "Questioner, what can I do for you?"

Guan Xiao outside the door pinched his nose and continued to speak softly, "I want to ask for the true scripture. I wonder if the Speaker can give me the scripture."

Qiu Tu smiled and said to the door, "It depends on your 'methods' and 'eloquence'."

Guan Xiao was obviously dissatisfied after hearing Qiu Tu's words. She continued to pinch her nose and asked softly, "Is it enough to just use tricks and eloquence?"

"I have always heard that reading ten thousand books is not as good as walking a hundred miles. Don't I need to demonstrate my sincerity by 'taking action' to obtain the scriptures?"

Qiu Tu was really amused by Guan Xiao. He smiled and put out his cigarette in the ashtray, then said seriously, "Of course I need it. So, come in, you who are seeking the scriptures."

Hearing Qiu Tu's agreement, Guan Xiao sneakily opened the door and looked at Qiu Tu with a sweet smile.

She has a face that attracts countless people's attention. Her facial features are as delicate as a carefully crafted work of art. Her pair of foxy eyes have slightly upturned corners, outlining a natural charm.

Maybe she wanted to come and learn from the masters early tonight, so she took a bath, dressed up, and put on light makeup, which made her look a little more radiant.

This is a woman who can attract countless admirers wherever she goes.

Seeing her, Qiu Tu put the information aside and waved at her.

Guan Xiao turned around and locked the door, then obediently walked to Qiu Tu, squatted down, and put his head on Qiu Tu's legs.

This woman seems to know how to please men naturally.

So she lay on Qiu Tu's legs and said softly in her unique charming voice, "Chairman, I miss you so much~~"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and touched her soft hair, then said with a smile, "Then open your mouth."

If it was another woman at this moment, she would probably be shy, but Guan Xiao was obviously different. She giggled and then opened her mouth, "Ah~~"

"Come on~ Speaker~~"

Seeing this, Qiu Tu smiled, picked her up, put her on his lap, and began to teach her the secrets.

The two had just explored each other's bodies not long ago, so this time they were more familiar with it.

Not long after, Qiu Tu found a way to the "gate" and started to break through.

But that level was just developed not long ago, so it is extremely difficult to pass. I can only pass it again and again.
During that intense challenge, Qiu Tu inexplicably recalled what Yanyan said to him when she called him on the way home.
It seems that there is indeed a connection between me and the Director of the New Territories City Exploration Department.

Before becoming director, I could work as director; after becoming director, I worked hard as director; now that I have been promoted to Speaker, I can still work as director.

Of course, this also shows that I am a nostalgic person. Even if I leave the New Territories City Exploration Agency, I will not forget to make a contribution to the New Territories City Exploration Agency.
In this way, accompanied by the piano music on the first floor of the villa, the house was stormy for several hours.
Silent all night.

The next morning, Qiu Tu woke up slowly.

Guan Xiao had left without knowing when, leaving behind only the faint fragrance on her body.

Qiu Tu savored the taste of this bright and beautiful woman and felt much better.

After packing up, I went downstairs. The three beauties were having breakfast there.

Seeing Qiu Tu, the three girls stood up quickly and greeted him, "Hello, Speaker~~" "Speaker." "Qiu Tu."

Qiu Tu looked at them one by one. After a night of nourishment, Guan Xiao looked as bright as a peach blossom, with rosy cheeks and a tender face that looked so tender that water could be squeezed out of it.

Tao Yaoyao, who was ranked second, had red hands for some reason and dark circles under her eyes, as if she didn't sleep well.

As for Shen Lingshuang, she was yawning, looking so cute and carefree.

His eyes stayed on Shen Lingshuang for a moment longer, and Qiu Tu used "Psychic Vision", "Mental Power Scan", "Order Line", and "Camp Cloud" to observe Shen Lingshuang.
As a result, apart from discovering that this girl had "a greenhouse full of peanuts", there was nothing unusual.

Qiu Tu calmly looked away, sat down at the dining table, and then invited the three girls to eat together.

Guan Xiao and Shen Lingshuang sat down and continued to eat, while Tao Yaoyao walked up to Qiu Tu competently and whispered in his ear, "Chairman, I got the news that Chairman Huang called Vice Chairman Liu, Vice Chairman Ye, and Director Dai to a meeting last night, which lasted the entire night."

“It didn’t disperse until 5 a.m..”

“After that, the three deputy speakers were nowhere to be found, and the speaker did not leave his office.”

Hearing Tao Yaoyao's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, patted her arm, and said softly, "Let's eat first."

Tao Yaoyao said "hmm", sat next to Qiu Tu and started eating.

After a while, the meal was finished. Qiu Tu rinsed his mouth, then went to the cloakroom of the villa and changed into the Speaker's uniform with the help of Shen Lingshuang.

While changing clothes in the cloakroom, Qiu Tu looked in the mirror and asked casually, "Lingshuang, do you miss your parents?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Lingshuang, who was buttoning Qiu Tu's shirt, couldn't help but pause slightly.

Then she looked up, wrinkled her nose, thought about it, shook her head and said, "No."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu asked curiously, "Why?"

Shen Lingshuang continued to button Qiu Tu's shirt with her head down, and pouted, saying nonchalantly, "Why?"

"I just don't want to. It's fine for me to stay with you. Although you're not a good person and you're a playboy, you're still okay with me."

Qiu Tu:
This doesn't seem like a compliment!
While complaining in his heart, Qiu Tu also recalled that he vaguely remembered Shen Lingshuang telling him that she had fled to the Eighth Shelter because her family had encountered a disaster. (Chapter 20)
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, I remember you said something seemed to have happened in your family?"

"What's going on?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Lingshuang frowned, and then asked, "Did I say something happened in my family?"

Qiu Tu nodded.

Shen Lingshuang seemed to have really forgotten. She thought hard for a while, then said, "I forgot."

She seemed to finally realize something was wrong, then frowned and thought, "I forgot why I left home."

"I only remember that my father is Shen Yuzhou, the vice-chairman of the Supreme Council of the Third Sanctuary. My mother's name is Shi Rong, and her family is a medical family."

"They were very kind to me, but also very strict. They made me learn to refine medicine and make tools since I was young."

"I have some talent, so I learn very quickly. Many people call me a genius."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu pretended to joke, "The potions and cataclysmic artifacts you made have all kinds of weird side effects. Is this considered a genius?"

When Shen Lingshuang heard this, she puffed out her chest and said, "So what! It's already amazing that you can do it, okay!"

"Okay, okay~" Qiu Tu smiled and touched her head, then asked, "By the way, I remember your parents still don't seem to let you awaken the catastrophe?"

Shen Lingshuang nodded cutely, "Yes. Cataclysm awakening is so dangerous. No one knows if something will go wrong."

"Besides, I'm a girl, so they don't expect me to have a big career. It's enough for me to have a skill to rely on in troubled times."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

Since it was just a casual chat, Shen Lingshuang didn't suspect anything and continued to help Qiu Tu put on his clothes after the conversation.

But Qiu Tu's eyes became extremely dark.

Weird, really weird.
Although Shen Lingshuang had forgotten what disaster had happened to her family, her other memories were complete, systematic, and logical.

This shouldn't be a false memory created by someone.

But in reality, the speaker's only daughter has a similar but slightly different development experience.
They are like the same person in different timelines.
What exactly is going on?

How do I solve this mystery?

With countless doubts in mind, Qiu Tu got in the car and arrived at the parliament building under the escort of a convoy.

His mission today was very heavy. In addition to paying attention to the situation of the "Blood Sacrifice Plan", he also had to go to the Tribunal to make his presence known.
With this in mind, the convoy soon stopped in front of the parliament building.

Tao Yaoyao got out of the car and opened the door for Qiu Tu. Qiu Tu got out of the car and then casually ordered, "Call the court and tell them that I will be there to inspect in an hour and a half."

“No one is allowed to be absent for any reason.”

"If you are absent, don't blame me for making an example of you."

"Yes." Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tao Yaoyao nodded seriously, then walked aside and made a phone call.

As a true professional secretary, Qiu Tu had saved the phone numbers of various departments in the state and three major institutions in each city in his communicator as early as the first day he became the Speaker, so that he could contact them at any time.

Without waiting for Tao Yaoyao to call, Qiu Tu took Shen Lingshuang and Guan Xiao and walked towards the parliament building.

Take the elevator to the Speaker's Floor on the 18th Floor.

With a crisp "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened, and the whispered conversation outside the door also came into the elevator.

"Yan Yan, are you going to see Judge Yan later? Then who will accompany Xue Er?"

"When I come to the state, I must go see my father. If Xue'er is bored, why don't you come with me to the court? There might be something interesting there."

"What's so good about the Tribunal?"

Xue'er's words came to an abrupt end before she could finish them, because Qiu Tu was standing inside the opened elevator door.

The three guards, Shen Lingshuang and Guan Xiao surrounded him. His eyes were indifferent and majestic, like a great man.
Ai Li, Yan Yan and Xue Er had actually met Qiu Tu many times before; Ai Li and Yan Yan had even had physical contact with Qiu Tu, but this was the first time they had seen Qiu Tu, who had taken over the power of Speaker, in the Parliament building.

At that moment, inexplicably, they felt that Qiu Tu was like a god.

In addition, she might have felt guilty, so Ai Li immediately lowered her head and greeted him softly, "Chairman Qiu."

When she saw Qiu Tu, Yanyan, the contrasting girl who had just designed an "evil plan" last night, had a hint of excitement in her eyes.

But she didn't dare to express it directly, so she pretended to be innocent and pure and said, "Hello, Speaker."

Among the three girls, Xue'er was the most noble and had the most eccentric personality. So when she saw Qiu Tu, she snorted and turned away.
