Perhaps it was the psychological advantage of being the "main palace" that made Yao Qin feel much more confident.
She pressed her hand down, and suddenly a long whip appeared in her hand.
Standing mid-air, she looked down at Qiu Tu, pointed her long whip at Zhaoji, and said with a grim expression, "Who is she? Why is she here?"
Upon hearing Yao Qin's words, Qiu Tu hadn't reacted yet, while the sensitive Zhaoji subtly changed her expression.
With her insightful mind, she almost instantly grasped the subtleties between Qiu Tu and Yao Qin.
She glanced at Qiu Tu with a faint smile, and then said, "It seems you've indeed been quite aggrieved in the past few days."
Qiu Tu: ....
This boorang is so short? It ca back to hit him in less than half an hour.
But, who is Qiu Tu? He has a thick skin.
So he leaned forward to Zhaoji, put his hand by his mouth, and whispered to her, "It's all work, just acting along."
"After all... I'm playing her husband."
Hearing Qiu Tu's explanation, Zhaoji snorted coldly but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu breathed a sigh of relief.
After appeasing Zhaoji, he looked up at Yao Qin and then spoke, "Your Grace Yao Qin, hello. I am Qiu Tu, and by my side is Zhaoji."
"We have co here to discuss matters with you."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yao Qin, in the air, slightly furrowed her brows.
She understood what Qiu Tu ant: before, it was "Tang Lang" who negotiated with her, and it was "Tang Lang" who gave her hints and plans.
Even though both she and Qiu Tu knew that the "Tang Lang" was actually Qiu Tu in disguise. But... after all, the na was not justified.
Thus, if the two truly wanted to cooperate, they had to officially negotiate through their official identities.
Of course... that's the positive outlook. On the negative side, it could an Qiu Tu simply changed identities and planned to walk away without acknowledging anything!
Thinking this way, Yao Qin squinted her eyes slightly, her gaze carrying a hint of danger as it fell on Qiu Tu.
Even though she had heard from several Evil Gods of the Northern Kingdom that Qiu Tu was a person who kept his promises.
But... hundreds of years of experience had taught Yao Qin:
Living beings are fickle. Past integrity does not guarantee future integrity.
Many people make mistakes because they trust "experience" and "history" too easily.
Therefore, after pondering for a mont, she chose to verify it herself.
And her thod of verification was simple, using spiritual power to check the restoration of the "World Channel."
If the "World Channel" was intact, it would prove Qiu Tu was indeed sincere about this negotiation.
And if the "World Channel" was damaged, it would prove that Qiu Tu was not that sincere about this negotiation.
After all... the World Channel counts as a key to the cooperation between both parties.
In a normal and fair negotiation, before the agreent is reached, one should not prematurely move such key nodes.
Thinking this way, Yao Qin tried to twist her spiritual power into a rope, bypassing the two, extending to the seabed below.
Zhaoji clearly felt Yao Qin's subtle actions.
She reflexively wanted to draw her sword and sever that thread of spiritual power.
But just as she was about to raise her hand, she paused slightly, then seed to recall sothing and looked at Qiu Tu.
Qiu Tu clearly felt Zhaoji's gaze.
He looked at Zhaoji.
The two made eye contact, Qiu Tu slightly shook his head.
Seeing this, Zhaoji's hand movents clearly stopped. She continued to stand with her hands down, directly ignoring Yao Qin's actions.
A mont later, Yao Qin probing with spiritual power had a slight change in her expression.
She took a deep breath and then looked at Qiu Tu with a dark gaze.
Indeed, her worries ca true: Qiu Tu had indeed changed!
He broke his promise, destroyed the "World Channel" and the "Repair Array" after sending her away!
And, reflecting on Zhaoji's early appearance here, Yao Qin realized she was being sched by Qiu Tu.
Thinking this way, Yao Qin couldn't help but recall the warning given by the West God King before descending into this world....
'Truly... humans, especially n, are not to be trusted!'
Thinking about this, Yao Qin's gaze toward Qiu Tu began to grow cold.
However, she was apparently not the impulsive type.
Though she was slowly losing trust in Qiu Tu, she didn't want to rely solely on her assumptions, avoiding a misunderstanding due to her own rashness.
Anyway, she had a mouth, she could directly ask.
Thinking this way, Yao Qin then looked down at Qiu Tu and asked, "Qiu Tu, did you destroy the 'Repair Array' and detonate the 'World Channel'?"
"Is this the sincerity you show in negotiation?"
Upon hearing Yao Qin's words, Qiu Tu smiled lightly and then said sincerely, "Your Grace Yao Qin, please forgive my presumptuous actions."
"But..... this is a war of life or death."
"Sotis, special ans are indeed needed."
"After all..... behind stand billions of lives in the 'Boundless Heart Sea.'"
"I cannot gamble with their lives."
"This is my responsibility as the current actual controller of the 'Boundless Heart Sea' world."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yao Qin directly snorted coldly. A trace of mockery appeared on her beautiful face.
She nodded slightly toward Qiu Tu, "Good, very good. Since that's the case, it seems there's no need for us to negotiate further."
After speaking, she looked sharply at Zhaoji and then said, "Your only hope should be Xi Yue's reincarnation, right?"
