Qiu Tu took the heavy "Boundless Divine Crystal" and, with a look of surprise, turned to Larilo, "Your Highness, not bad. Did you raid Zhao Ji's lair?"
"Where did all these 'Boundless Divine Crystals' co from?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo shut her mouth tight, fearing that Qiu Tu might covet her sister's treasury.
But Qiu Tu acted as if he had no guilty conscience. After complinting Larilo, he imdiately changed the subject, "These 'Boundless Divine Crystals' aren't enough."
"I need another favor from you."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Larilo tapped Qiu Tu's leg rhythmically while looking up at him with a puzzled face, "What do you need help with?"
At this point, Qiu Tu finally revealed the purpose of his visit to Larilo, "I hope you can help capture a 'Yellow Charm.'"
"I think she'll be of great research value."
"I've just beco the Bureau Chief of the Investigation Bureau, but since it was an extraordinary promotion, the State, Sanctuary, and the city – everyone in the Bureau is watching ."
"So, I need an achievent that can prove my capabilities and leave no room for anyone to question."
"I've chosen the 'Yellow Charm' responsible for causing the deaths of so many 'Domain Masters'..."
"Given how seriously the Sanctuary regards this information, if I manage to capture the 'Yellow Charm', it will certainly be an imnse achievent and might even warrant a significant reward..."
"And it would have a huge positive impact on the 'Human Camp', benefiting all of humanity..."
...
anwhile, in the real world, in Xinjie City, at the Investigation Bureau.
On the 12th floor, in the Deputy Director's office.
Ai Li was having a small eting with Ji Qinglin, the Deputy Director of Administration, and Lü Cheng, the Special Duties Departnt Director.
Qiu Tu hadn't seen it, but the three did indeed know each other and were all confidants of Huang Shangzong.
This ti, Huang Shangzong clearly had a different purpose in transferring them over.
Ai Li looked at Ji Qinglin and Lü Cheng with a serious expression and said, "Old Ji, Old Lü. Our arrival at the Boundary City Investigation Bureau carries an important mission."
"The Speaker has given us specific orders: to clarify Qiu Tu's relationship with the Evil God, to identify the Mysterious person, to marginalize Qiu Tu, to prevent him from achieving any political success."
"You should have already reviewed the relevant information before coming. I won't repeat it."
"In any case, Qiu Tu is no ordinary person. We must be very cautious."
Hearing Ai Li's words, Ji Qinglin adjusted his black-frad glasses, then analyzed seriously, "The four tasks given by the Speaker are actually interrelated, with the first two being related and the latter two as well."
"If we clarify Qiu Tu's relationship with the Evil God, we can naturally and easily identify that Mysterious person."
"And by marginalizing Qiu Tu, he naturally won't be able to achieve any political success."
With that, Ji Qinglin said, "The first two tasks require patience, attention to detail, and so luck. We can only investigate step by step and wait."
"But for the last two tasks, I think I have so ideas."
Hearing Ji Qinglin's words, Ai Li's eyes lit up slightly.
She asked, "What is your idea?"
Ji Qinglin adjusted his glasses again and said earnestly,
"Actually... among the seven high-ranking officials in the entire Investigation Bureau, there's a key figure."
"She has a close relationship with Qiu Tu and is also a relative of another high-ranking official. She's even from the sa faction as ours."
Hearing Ji Qinglin's words, Ai Li frowned slightly, "Are you talking about Guan Xiao?"
Ji Qinglin smiled and nodded, "Yes, Guan Xiao."
Ai Li's frown deepened, not quite optimistic, "I've heard that Guan Xiao is a staunch supporter of Qiu Tu..."
"Can we really win her over?"
Ji Qinglin adjusted his glasses, speaking with a sagacious air, "I think there's hope."
He continued, "I arrived in Xinjie City quite early today and happened to see Guan Xiao with red-rimd eyes, covering her mouth as she left Qiu Tu's office..."
"Her expression was dim, and she looked so exhausted, as if she was very upset..."

"If we clarify Qiu Tu's relationship with the Evil God, we can naturally and easily find out about that Mysterious person."
"And by marginalizing Qiu Tu, he won't be able to achieve any political success."
On that note, Ji Qinglin added, "The first two tasks require patience, attention to detail, and so luck. We can only search slowly and wait."
"But for the last two tasks, I do have so ideas."
Hearing Ji Qinglin's words, Ai Li's eyes lit up slightly.
She asked, "What is your idea?"
Ji Qinglin, once again adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose, said seriously,
"Actually... among the seven high-ranking officials in the entire Inquiry Bureau, there's a key figure."
"She's closely associated with Qiu Tu, related to another high-ranking official, and she's even from our faction."
After hearing what Ji Qinglin had said, Ai Li's brow furrowed slightly, "Are you talking about Guan Xiao?"
Ji Qinglin smiled and nodded, "Yes, Guan Xiao."
With a frown still on her face and so skepticism, Ai Li said, "I've heard Guan Xiao is a die-hard fan of Qiu Tu...."
"Can we really get her on our side?"
Ji Qinglin adjusted his glasses, speaking with an intelligent tone, "I think there's a chance."
He added, "Today I heard so gossip. Today, Guan Xiao left Qiu Tu's office with red-rimd eyes and her hand over her mouth..."
"Her expression was dim, she looked fatigued, like she was very upset..."
