Free Web NovelChapter 1859: Chapter 745: Zhao Ji: Was I Set Up?
Earlier, she hadn’t thought in that direction, but after Qiu Tu’s reminder, she suddenly felt something was off.
Yes, whose clone... would have its own thoughts, and inherit its own "Path of Life," growing into a living being?
Previously, she thought it was a sacrifice she had to make to forcibly change her "Cataclysm Path."
But now... she’s a bit uncertain....
At this moment, seeing Zhao Ji fall silent, Qiu Tu smiled.
He placed his hand on Zhao Ji’s shoulder again and asked, "Sister Zhaoji, do you want to find out about this yourself?"
Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Zhao Ji came back to her senses from her thoughts. She looked at Qiu Tu, not speaking, but with a questioning gaze.
Qiu Tu flicked the ash off his cigarette, then said, "That somewhat peculiar maid: Jasmine, she wants to join us."
"Join us?" Zhao Ji repeated the words and then looked at Qiu Tu.
Qiu Tu nodded and then said, "She wants to stay by our side and execute the mission."
Zhao Ji’s cold eyes were incomparably deep, "You doubt her identity and purpose?"
Qiu Tu spoke directly, "Not only that. I even... suspect she is the ’Chaos Witch.’
Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Zhao Ji understood what Qiu Tu meant. She nodded slightly,
"I will keep a closer eye on her to see who she really is and what she intends to do."
With this, their intelligence sharing session for tonight was complete.
Perhaps because the information given was too shocking, the two leaned against the railing, quietly watching the night, remaining somewhat silent.
The smoke drifted quietly into the distance, slowly dissipating into the entire night....
....
The next day, Qiu Tu got up early.
Upon going downstairs, several women were busy with their own tasks.
Zhao Ji was there seizing every moment to enhance her power; Qing Lan was, in contrast, sneaking in moments of laziness; little Yuan Yao was there, playing mahjong alone in a daze; Candle Dance was ’coo-coo’ flaunting their breakfast....
This goddaughter, even after transforming into a snake, remained as gluttonous as ever.
Qiu Tu greeted the four women, then curiously queried, "Where’s Sister Yao Qin?"
Hearing his words, Qing Lan, who was sprawling on the sofa and wasting time, replied, "Sister Yao Qin went out early to gather information."
"She said that with both major factions at war, the situation changes instantly, and they must constantly ascertain the battle dynamics."
Upon saying this, Qing Lan paused, then after a bit of thought, said, "But... counting time, she should be back soon, right?"
Hearing Qing Lan’s words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then sat at the dining table, preparing to have some food.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a "knock knock knock" at the door from outside.
Hearing that sound, Qing Lan yawned, then said, "It should be Sister Yao Qin back."
After saying this, she looked around and found... everyone was busy with their own things, only she was idle.
So she had to slowly get up from the sofa, walk lazily to the door, and casually open it.
As a result, as soon as the door opened, she was stunned.
Because standing outside was not Yao Qin, but a girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen.
The girl had a pair of watery apricot eyes, clear and pure. She wore a fitted white slip dress, her skin radiant like pearls, looking both youthful and lively.
Even being a woman, Qing Lan had to admit the girl before her was the type considered a white moonlight that captivated any man’s heart.
Thinking this, she looked at the girl and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Hearing Qing Lan’s question, the girl smiled gently, her brows curving, sweetly saying, "Hello sister, I’m here to see Brother Qiu Tu."
"Brother Qiu Tu?" Hearing the girl’s ambiguous address, Qing Lan turned to Qiu Tu and then said, "Boss, someone’s here for you."
After speaking, she suddenly noticed that Qiu Tu had yet to respond. Zhao Ji, who was sitting cross-legged on the windowsill cultivating, slowly opened her eyes, a pair of deep eyes as cold as a frigid pool quietly watching the girl at the door.....
