Chapter 467 Zhao Ji: The root of the mountain is in your hand? ( words asking for monthly votes!)
Hearing the cold and warmthless voice beside his ear, Qiu Tu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a barely perceptible smile.

It seems the fish has finally taken the bait. It's worth waiting patiently for so long.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly without saying anything, then walked towards his office.

There was no change in all his movements, so outsiders could hardly notice anything unusual.

Only Tang Feifei, who came out right after him, looked at him strangely.

Tang Feifei obviously wanted to ask Qiu Tu to go and have a chat together, but she raised her hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally put it down.

Just like that, accompanied by Tao Yaoyao and Shen Lingshuang, he returned to his office.

Qiu Tu asked the two to go and rest first, and he went into the office alone.

Arriving at the deputy speaker's luxurious office, Qiu Tu locked the door and then turned on the anti-eavesdropping and anti-surveillance equipment on the table.

The next second, Zhao Ji's figure slowly appeared in the office.

This woman is similar to her sister Lajiro, both of them have the ability to become invisible.

However, I don't know whether this ability is their catastrophic ability, path ability, or evil god ability.
As he thought about this, Qiu Tu pointed to the sofa with his hand, and then said gently, "Your Highness, please sit down."

Zhao Ji is obviously not someone who can be easily manipulated. This can be seen from the fact that after Qiu Tu "explained" the truth to her, she still left temporarily and went to verify it alone.

So, she didn't move at all, and even her facial expression didn't change, as if she didn't hear anything.

Qiu Tu had already learned about the great evil god in front of him from Lazhiluo's "memory fragments", so he didn't care. Instead, he considerately poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhao Ji.

This time, Zhao Ji still did not answer the call, but walked straight to the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, overlooking the disaster-stricken East City.

Qiu Tu was very polite and didn't feel awkward. When Zhao Ji refused to drink, he took the glass and took a sip.

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Qiu Tu said, "What does Princess Zhaoji want to talk to me about?"

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji put her hands behind her back, with her loose hair casually draped over her shoulders, like an unmelted iceberg.

"In the past few hours, I have learned about the recent conflict between Mu Ye and you."

"You want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, right?"

Qiu Tu was not surprised that Zhao Ji could see through this.

After all, there may be fools among evil gods, but the probability of there being fools among great evil gods is too low.

After all, it is easy to obtain one "Boundless Heart Sea Area", but it is too difficult to obtain nine "Boundless Heart Sea Areas".

Strength, luck and wisdom are all indispensable.

If Zhao Ji couldn't see through her little trick, she would have been devoured without a trace left in this evil god's world where the law of the jungle prevails.

Therefore, Qiu Tu nodded without any hesitation, "Yes, Your Highness."

"I did have ulterior motives in asking you to deal with Muye."

"Compared to you, Mu Ye is much more hostile to humans and Dongyezhou."

"Besides, if I can get rid of him, I can move to the next level."

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji slowly turned around. Her eyes were as deep as a cold pond, flashing with a cold light.

She looked at Qiu Tu and said expressionlessly, "You are honest."

Qiu Tu smiled and said, "I don't have any other skills, my greatest strength is honesty."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji looked at Qiu Tu deeply but still did not respond.

She was silent for two seconds, then she said, "How sure are you about the Shan Gen matter?"

Qiu Tu took another sip of water and said, "9%."

"I am 9% sure that Muye has discovered the root of the mountain."

Zhao Ji raised her eyes to look at Qiu Tu and said coldly, "You are very confident."

Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Because I trust my own brain and analysis."

He said, "Muye has been hiding his strength and developing in secret. Why did he suddenly expose himself?"

"People will only take a gamble if the benefits outweigh the risks, right?"

"So, he made such a big fuss, obviously he had some ulterior motive."

"Combined with the information he spread, I feel that there is a 9% chance that the information about Shan Gen is true."

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji pondered quietly for a while.

After a moment, she nodded slightly and agreed, "What you said makes sense."

After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu lowered his head and drank a sip of water again, with a smile on his face growing more and more.

As a result, at this moment, Zhao Ji suddenly spoke again.

She looked at Qiu Tu with her dark eyes, and then said, "However, although the matter of "Shan Gen" is most likely true, it does not mean that I need to fight to the death with Mu Ye."

"According to my information, Muye hasn't gotten the "Yamagen" yet, right?"

When Qiu Tu heard Zhao Ji's words, his expression froze and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, the next second, Zhao Ji put her hands behind her back and said expressionlessly, "In fact, according to the information I have obtained, many people suspect that the "Shan Gen" is actually in your hands."

"How do you explain that?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu raised his head and looked at her.

Across the office, the two people stared at each other.

Qiu Tu raised his hand and swore, "I can swear on my life that I don't know where the 'root of the mountain' is."

“I don’t even know what the ‘shangen’ is.”

When Zhao Ji heard Qiu Tu's words, her eyes did not fluctuate at all, as if she was looking at an ant.

She put her hands behind her back, looked at Qiu Tu indifferently, and said calmly, "Qiu Tu, although I failed to advance to level 6, I have also crossed that threshold."

"It's okay to say that I'm half a step away from level 6."

"So, there may be someone above you, but there is no one above me."

“So, if you dare to lie to me, neither Rao Shou nor Huang Shangzong can save you.”

When Qiu Tu heard Zhao Ji's words, there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

Although Zhao Ji's expression was so cold and her threats were so fierce, Qiu Tu was actually not nervous at all.

The reason is simple. His "sense of crisis" was not triggered at all.

This shows that Zhao Ji had no intention of killing at all.

This is just like the reason why Qiu Tu dared to rescue Lajiluo under Zhao Ji's nose this morning. It was because after he found Lajiluo, he had made a detailed "rescue plan" in his mind.

After confirming that this plan did not trigger his "sense of crisis" and would not pose a life-threatening risk, Qiu Tu ran to Zhao Ji and showed off his affection.

The same principle also applied when Zhao Ji took action and was about to kill Qiu Tu.

Even though Zhao Ji was very powerful and her eyes were cold and resolute, her "sense of crisis" was still not activated.

Therefore, Qiu Tu did not run away, but stood in front of Zhao Ji, waiting for Zhao Ji to take action, and thus won Zhao Ji's trust.

Therefore, after several contacts with Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu discovered that Zhao Ji did not seem to be the kind of evil god who was unforgivable.

On the contrary, most of the time, they are emotionally stable and do not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Therefore, facing Zhao Ji's repeated probing, Qiu Tu said frankly, "Your Highness, if I have deceived you, you don't need to do anything, I will just commit suicide!"

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji slowly retracted her aura.

But she still did not stop testing Qiu Tu.

She stared at Qiu Tu's eyes, and then said, "Shan Gen is usually a living thing. Who are the people around you who were brought from New Territories City to East City?"

"Let me see him."

Qiu Tu's expression froze when he heard Zhao Ji's words. Zhao Ji was keenly aware of the change in Qiu Tu's expression. She said "Hmm?" and asked, "Is it inconvenient?"

Qiu Tu had already calmed down by now. He smiled and said, "What's going on?"

He said, "Then I will let them in now to meet Her Highness Zhao Ji."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, "But, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Your Highness Zhao Ji, you may need to hide aside and check quietly."

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, then said "hmm" coldly. The next second, her figure slowly disappeared from the spot and was completely out of sight.

Qiu Tu scanned over with his mental power and confirmed that Zhao Ji was still standing there. He returned to his desk, sat down, and pressed the button to call his secretary.

After a while, the sound of high heels was heard outside the room. Then, the office door was opened from the outside.

Tao Yaoyao walked in from outside.

"Chairman, you're looking for me?"

Qiu Tu said "hmm", then waved Tao Yaoyao to his side and started talking about work.

Just like that, quickly, 2 minutes passed.

After seeing the invisible Zhao Ji slightly shook her head, Qiu Tu stopped chatting at the right time, "Okay, Secretary Tao, you go down first."

"By the way, call Director Guan over."

"Yes." Tao Yaoyao responded after hearing Qiu Tu's arrangement, then walked out of the office to call Guan Xiao.

After a while, Guan Xiao came to the office, and Qiu Tu started chatting with Guan Xiao in the same way.

This time, in less than a minute, Zhao Ji shook her head at Qiu Tu.

So, Qiu Tu patted Guan Xiao's hips and said, "Okay, go down and call Xiao Liu over."

"Got it~~ Speaker." Guan Xiao threw a coquettish glance at Qiu Tu, then walked away with a twist of her waist.

After a while, Ding Xiaoliu came to the office.
In this way, Qiu Tu called almost everyone around him in this way.

When the last person left the office, Zhao Ji looked at Qiu Tu with cold eyes and said, "Qiu Tu, did you miss someone?"

"Someone was missed?" Qiu Tu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Who was missed?"

Zhao Ji said, "The girl who followed you today was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was pretty, but her breasts were very flat."

Zhao Ji keenly captured the peculiarity of Shen Lingshuang, which made Qiu Tu burst out laughing for a moment.

After laughing, Qiu Tu said frankly, "Your Highness, she is not actually someone close to me, but she is my family."

"But if you want to see her, take a look at her."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu pressed the button of the secretariat again.

This time, after the button was pressed, Qiu Tu said directly, "Ask Shen Lingshuang to come over."

"Yes." Tao Yaoyao's voice came from the other end of the phone.

After a few seconds, Shen Lingshuang waved her hands and walked into the office innocently.

Seeing Qiu Tu, she smiled sweetly and said, "Qiu Tu, are you looking for me?"

Qiu Tu smiled and waved at her, then chatted about her recent progress in making catastrophe artifacts and catastrophe potions.

During this period, Qiu Tu used "Fighting Game" and "Salvage Game" to obtain disaster materials almost every night.

Although the amount of material obtained is not much, it accumulates over time.

Qiu Tu only had Shen Lingshuang, a pharmacist and a weapon maker, so of course he gave everything to her and let her do it.

According to Shen Lingshuang, the things are still in the making and it is estimated that there will be results in two days.

This made Qiu Tu look forward to it.

In this way, they chatted for seven or eight minutes, and Zhao Ji never gave Qiu Tu a signal.

Qiu Tu couldn't help but turn his head and look at Zhao Ji in surprise.

As a result, he saw Zhao Ji frowning slightly and observing Shen Lingshuang's situation carefully, as if something unexpected had happened to her.

Perhaps noticing Qiu Tu looking at her, Zhao Ji came to her senses and gestured.

Qiu Tu then encouraged Shen Lingshuang a few more words and let her leave first.

After Shen Lingshuang left, Qiu Tu calmly picked up the water cup, then looked at Zhao Ji and asked, "Your Highness Zhao Ji, is there any result?"

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji did not respond immediately.

She seemed to have thought of something, and then thought about it expressionlessly for more than ten seconds before she turned her cold gaze to Qiu Tu.

"You already knew she wasn't Shan Gen?"

Although Zhao Ji asked a question, her tone was extremely affirmative.

Hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, "Almost. But I'm not 100% sure, only 9% sure."

"But now that I have the answer from you, I am completely relieved."

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's thoughts and topics were rarely diverted.
"How did you guess that?" she inquired.

Qiu Tu pointed to his head and said, "Rely on your brain."

Qiu Tu lit a cigarette and said with a distant look while smoking, "Actually, from the very beginning, I doubted Ling Shuang's identity."

"But I don't doubt that she is a 'shangen', I doubt that she is not."

"the reason is simple."

Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said, "I ask myself, if I discovered a business opportunity, would I tell everyone about it in a big way? Or would I quietly make a fortune on my own?"

"I thought about it for a long time and decided that I would definitely choose the latter."

“This is similar to the “Murayo & Yamane” incident.”

"If Mu Ye really discovered that Ling Shuang was Shan Gen, would he let everyone know that Ling Shuang was a treasure, let Dong Yezhou pay attention to Shen Ling Shuang, and let countless people covet Shen Ling Shuang?"

"Or should we quietly kidnap Ling Shuang without alerting anyone?"

"I think, according to normal logic, he would choose the latter."

"And when I reasoned this way, things suddenly became simple."

"Why does Muye keep hinting to Dong Yezhou that there is something wrong with Shen Lingshuang?"

"It's simple. He is trying to divert attention and sow discord."

"He hopes to divert everyone's attention to Shen Lingshuang and me, or make the state's top officials suspicious of each other."

"This way, he will have enough time to get the real 'root'!"

"For this, he even went so far as to project himself down and fight with our three fourth-order Catastrophists."

"He did all this just for the sake of acting."

"This is just like the military strategy used by his follower 'Scarface': openly repair the plank road while secretly attacking Chencang!"

After listening to Qiu Tu's analysis, Zhao Ji nodded slightly with an expressionless face, rarely agreeing with Qiu Tu's analysis.

However, after the recognition, she also said calmly, "Your analysis is correct."

"Shan Gen is not with you. Everything is just a trick of the night."

At this point, she paused, "But... that girl does have problems."

She glanced at Qiu Tu and said, "Don't you realize that she is not a complete person?"

"Her soul is incomplete."

"Or to put it more directly, she is actually a part of someone else's lost soul."
