Chapter 953 - 467 The Truth About Shen Lingshuang (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)_2

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's gaze did not waver in the slightest, as if she were looking down on a mere ant.

With her hands clasped behind her back, she looked indifferently at Qiu Tu and said faintly, "Qiu Tu, though I failed my promotion to the Sixth Rank, I have crossed that threshold."

"It's not a problem to say I'm a Half-step Sixth Rank."

"So... you may have people above you, but there's no one above me anymore."

"Hence, if you dare deceive me, neither Rao Shou nor Huang Shangzong will be able to save you."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu's expression remained completely still.

Despite Zhao Ji's cold demeanor and her fierce threats, in reality, Qiu Tu was not the slightest bit tense.

The reason was very simple... his "Crisis Intuition" had not been triggered at all.

This indicated that Zhao Ji had no intention of killing him.

This was like earlier this morning when Qiu Tu dared to rescue Larilo right under Zhao Ji's watchful eyes because he had carefully devised a "rescue plan" after discovering Larilo.

After confirming that this plan did not trigger his "Crisis Intuition" and posed no risk to his life, Qiu Tu then approached Zhao Ji to flaunt his affection.

Similarly, when Zhao Ji was about to strike Qiu Tu, the same reasoning applied.

Despite Zhao Ji's show of force and her resolute, cold gaze, the "Crisis Intuition" still did not sound an alarm.

Therefore, Qiu Tu did not flee but stood there in front of Zhao Ji, waiting for her to make her move. This ultimately earned her trust.

So, after several encounters with Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu realized... Zhao Ji didn't seem to be an utterly irredeemable Evil God.

More often than not, she was emotionally stable and did not kill recklessly.

Thus, faced with another test from Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu candidly expressed, "Your Highness, if I were to deceive you, there's no need for you to take action—I would take my own life immediately!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's aura finally began to recede gradually.

But she did not cease her testing of Qiu Tu.

She stared intently at Qiu Tu and said, "The 'Mountain Root' generally refers to living creatures. Who from Xinjie City did you bring with you to Eastern City?"

"Let me have a look."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu's expression momentarily stiffened.

Zhao Ji sharply Detected the change in Qiu Tu's expression and hummed inquisitively, "Is it inconvenient?"

By now, Qiu Tu had already composed himself. Smiling, he said, "How should I put this?"

He continued, "I will have them come in now to meet Her Highness Zhao Ji."

Saying this, Qiu Tu paused, "But... To avoid any misunderstandings, Your Highness, you might need to become Invisible and examine them quietly."

Zhao Ji nodded slightly and then coldly hummed in affirmation. In the next second, her form slowly vanished from view, fully invisible.

Qiu Tu swept his spiritual power across the area, confirming that Zhao Ji was still standing there, then he returned to his desk and sat down, pressing the button to call his secretary.

After a moment, the sound of high heels clicked outside the office. Then, the door was opened from the outside.

Tao Yaoyao stepped inside.

"Speaker, did you call for me?"

Qiu Tu hummed a response and waved Tao Yaoyao over to his side to discuss work.

In this way, two minutes quickly passed.

Once he saw the invisible Zhao Ji shake her head slightly, Qiu Tu timely ended the conversation, "All right, Secretary Tao, you may leave now."

"By the way, call Director Guan over."

"Yes." Hearing Qiu Tu's arrangement, Tao Yaoyao complied and then left the office to summon Guan Xiao.

Soon after, Guan Xiao arrived at the office, and Qiu Tu repeated the idle chatting with Guan Xiao, just as he did before.

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

Then, Qiu Tu patted Guan Xiao's pert rear and said, "Alright, you can go down. Call Little Liu over."

"Understood~~ Speaker." Guan Xiao threw a Seductive glance at Qiu Tu and then left, swaying her hips.

Before long, Ding Xiaoliu arrived at the office...

So it went, Qiu Tu called almost everyone around him in this fashion, one by one.

When the last person had left the office, Zhao Ji's chilled eyes coldly regarded Qiu Tu, then she spoke, "Qiu Tu, have you missed someone?"

"Missed someone?" Qiu Tu feigned confusion and asked, "Missed who?"

Zhao Ji said, "Today, following you, there was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old. Quite pretty, but flat-chested."

Zhao Ji's keenness had captured the special qualities of Shen Lingshuang, leaving Qiu Tu speechless with laughter.

After the laughter subsided, Qiu Tu honestly said, "Your Highness, she's not exactly one of my people, but she is more like my family."

"But... since you wish to see her, then have a look."

With that, Qiu Tu pressed the secretarial department's button once more.

This time, after pressing the button, Qiu Tu directly said, "Send Shen Lingshuang over."

"Yes." Tao Yaoyao's voice came through the phone.

After a few seconds, Shen Lingshuang entered the office cheerfully and unrestrained.

Seeing Qiu Tu, she smiled sweetly and asked, "Qiu Tu, you wanted to see me?"

Qiu Tu smiled and gestured for her to come closer, then casually chatted about her recent work on Cataclysmic treasures and Cataclysmic Potions.

Lately, Qiu Tu had been using the "Fighting Game" and "Salvage Game" almost every night to obtain Cataclysmic Material.

Though the materials weren't abundant, they had accumulated quite a bit over time.

As the only Pharmacist and Artifact Maker in Qiu Tu's circle, naturally all of it went to Shen Lingshuang to handle as she saw fit.
