Chapter 945 - 464: Zhao Ji Returns! (10,000 words for Monthly Tickets)_3

"Could it be that they suspect that the Cataclysmic Material is in my possession?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Xiao's expression momentarily stiffened, hesitated for a moment, and then admitted, "Yes... There are indeed some who suspect that."

"Their reason for suspicion is... your rapid progress."

"If in Dongye State there truly exists Cataclysmic Material that even the Evil God craves, and it's in Eastern City, then it's highly likely to be on you."

Qiu Tu:.....

Qiu Tu felt a headache coming on.

How did this bunch, through a series of erroneous conditions and deductions, end up with the correct conclusion?

Or could it be... this is exactly the effect Muye intended to achieve?

After being refused by Dongye State, did He deliberately show up to draw attention, and then guide public opinion, making everyone focus on me?

Such layered pressure on me does indeed resemble His, the master of conspiracies, the Great Evil God's methods!

Thinking so, Qiu Tu, as if he had realized something, suddenly froze.

His eyes flickered, and his brain was whirring rapidly.

After pondering silently for a few minutes, Qiu Tu suddenly spoke, "Xiao Xiao, check the source of that news from Xinjie City. I want to know who is guiding the public opinion!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao was initially startled, then quickly responded with a "Mhm..."

Seeing Guan Xiao agree to it, a rare smile appeared on Qiu Tu's face, which had not been seen these past few days.

If they truly find the source of the news, and it indeed proves to be as he anticipated...

Then maybe... the issues with Zhao Ji and Larilo could be resolved.....

With this thought, Qiu Tu leaned back in the rear seat and looked up towards the window.

The rising sun cast a golden glow over Eastern City. The apocalyptic sight from last night seemed like an illusion, already vanished, replaced by a scene of rebirth.....

....

Meanwhile, as the sun slowly rose in the real world,

The sun was also setting in the "Boundless Heart Sea - East City Area".

As the last ray of sunlight was swallowed up by the dunes, the whole desert turned cold and deathly silent again.....

Compared to the era of Zhao Ji, the "East City Area" under Larilo's rule clearly had more vitality.

Although it was still a desert, there were many more oases, water sources, and various desert flora and fauna.

It felt as if amidst destruction, new life was being nurtured....

And right in the middle of that vast endless desert, there was a huge oasis.

Zhao Ji and Larilo were standing face to face.

Returning from the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region," Zhao Ji had an even colder aura.

She was unmistakably beautiful, but her eyes were deep like cold pools, shimmering with a frigid light.

Her skin was pale, each inch seemingly purified by snow, pristine white. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders..

She stood like an eternal mountain of ice, quietly watching Larilo before her. Cold and noble.

"Do you know that by refining my region, you ruined my grand plans and almost caused my demise?"

Her voice was incredibly calm, yet those cold shimmering eyes seemed to threaten violence at any second.....

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Larilo nervously licked her crimson lips and then asked, "Sister.... is it too late to apologize now?"

Hearing Larilo's words, Zhao Ji's deep eyes silently stared at her, weighing the benefits of killing or not killing.

As time ticked by, finally Zhao Ji took a deep breath and slowly said, "It's not too late."

Larilo let out a sigh of relief, "Then you apologize."

"I forgive you."
