Chapter 1849: Chapter 743: Took a Sworn Younger Sister? (Monthly Ticket Requested)

Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, a trace of admiration subtly flashed in the white-robed man’s eyes, yet he neither expressed agreement nor denial.

He only held his right sleeve with his left hand and elegantly picked up a white piece, gently placing it on the chessboard.

The position of that piece was somewhat off, appearing like a trivial pawn, but upon closer inspection, one would realize that once the layout extended, it might become a crucial live move.

Qiu Tu silently observed the whole chessboard before him, rubbing his black pawn with a sense of reflection in his heart.

Indeed... the white-robed man’s characteristics truly combined several different paths. His personality truly resembles that of a "Order Path" Divine King.

Qiu Tu recalled back when he was Secretary Bai, he reported the relationship between Liu Xiongyuan and Yan Chen to him, speaking half-truths and never plainly explaining everything.

During the "Heavenly God Trial," Qiu Tu also had a conversation with him, then guessed some of his motives and identity, yet he still did not directly reply.

This cautious, cunning feeling truly resembles the "Order Path."

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also placed his black piece down.

"Click."

The crisp sound of the piece touching the board echoed clearly in the grand hall.

After placing the piece, Qiu Tu straightened up, raised his head, and continued to speak, "You are unwilling to answer my question, I don’t mind. I know this is your personality."

"However... since you invited me over tonight, surely there’s a purpose?"

"Shall we talk about your purpose?"

At this moment, while Qiu Tu was chatting, another maid approached with a wooden tray holding two cups of tea.

Upon entering the hall, she handed the tray to Jasmine.

Jasmine took the tray, smiled warmly, walked over to the two, squatted down, leaned over, took down the two cups of tea, and placed them beside the two, her voice as crisp as silver bells said, "Muxin Divine King, Qiu Tu, please have some tea."

Upon hearing Jasmine’s words, the white-robed man looked at her, nodded slightly, then accepted the tea in his hand and took a sip.

Qiu Tu also politely took the tea but only placed it near his lips without drinking.

Seeing this, the white-robed man chuckled softly, took another sip of tea, then gently spoke, "I indeed cannot tell you what His Majesty is doing."

"After all, you are too intelligent. I wouldn’t know if knowing His Majesty’s plan might have any uncontrollable impact."

"However, I can tell you... Zhao Ji is not an experiment."

"His Majesty had a period of time with Zhao Ji years ago, they had a good relationship, considered friends. His Majesty wouldn’t use a friend as an experiment."

Qiu Tu seized the opportunity to probe, "So she can use you for experiments?"

The white-robed man laughed silently, then cheerfully placed the tea down and shook his head with a sigh, "You... always probing with every three sentences."

"Someone who never interacted with you might fall for it. But we’ve been acquainted for so long, how could I fall into your traps?"

Speaking this, the white-robed man reiterated, "Since I said I wouldn’t tell you, then I truly won’t tell you."

He warmly gazed at Qiu Tu, his eyes full of mirth, "After all, compared to how well I know you, you indeed don’t know me well. You can’t tell which of my words are true, which are deliberate distractions."

Indeed, for the past two years, the white-robed man has been the hardest for Qiu Tu to read. During his time as Secretary Bai, Qiu Tu couldn’t see through him; as the white-robed man, Qiu Tu didn’t see through him; and now as the Muxin Divine King, Qiu Tu still couldn’t see through him.

This further proves the white-robed man’s craftiness.

Luckily, up to now, the white-robed man remains a friend rather than an enemy, or else Qiu Tu’s vigilance would likely be fully alerted.

At this moment, while Qiu Tu was pondering this, the white-robed man spoke again.

He looked at Qiu Tu with a smile, and said, "Qiu Tu, actually... compared to Zhao Ji, I feel my biggest gain from the ’Boundless Heart Sea’ journey is you."

"Me?" Qiu Tu looked at the white-robed man, asking.

The white-robed man nodded, his eyes in the Muxin Divine King state were ocean-blue, clear as a sunny sky’s ocean, "Indeed. After all... there are always experts."

"But experts with a brain are rare."

"As you said, out here in the world, the most important thing is brains. Without thinking, no matter how strong, they’ll get sold and still help count the money."

The white-robed man chuckled, "So, would you like to join us?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu was not tricked.

He held the teacup, again pretended to sip, then put it down, smiling, "Old Bai, you should just speak your true purpose."

"You don’t dare to tell me what you all are doing, how could this be a genuine invitation."

"This kind of low-level ’Window Effect’ has no effect on me."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s words, the white-robed man’s smile grew more amused. He seemed unsurprised that Qiu Tu saw through him, and instead, continued speaking, "Since that is the case, how about a deal?"

Qiu Tu clearly became interested.

He asked, "What kind of deal?"

The white-robed man opened his mouth saying, "Do your old trade—the spy."

Above Qiu Tu’s head slowly appeared a question mark: ?

The white-robed man’s expression slowly became serious, saying, "I need you to join the ’Order Temple,’ to help us gather intelligence and information on the ’Order Temple.’

"Especially... those related to High Order Divine Kings."

Upon hearing the white-robed man’s words, Qiu Tu’s gaze began flickering continuously, as if quickly calculating the risks and potential benefits of this deal.
