Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the smile on the face of the man in white became exceptionally radiant.

He casually gestured with his hand, and then asked, "What? Aren't you going to invite me to sit down?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu glanced at him and said, "Do you really think you're a guest? Sit if you want to."

A teasing remark brought the two closer, and the smile on the face of the man in white became even brighter. He indeed did not need Qiu Tu to move. Instead, he waved his hand, and the next second, a chair appeared behind him.

He gently leaned back and sat on the chair.

The action was both light and free.

After sitting down, he also took the initiative to speak, "When did you discover my identity?"

Hearing the words of the man in white, Qiu Tu finally stopped his pen.

His eyes revealed contemplation, as if recalling.

After a moment, he said, "Although I had my doubts before, if I were to really pinpoint it, it should have been just a couple of days ago."

The man in white tilted his head, looking at Qiu Tu with gentle eyes, as if inquiring about what crucial event happened that day.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu explained, "Actually, when I first met you, I didn't think you were anything special."

"At that time you helped me a lot in Xinjie City and sacrificed yourself for Yan Chen."

"But back then, I only thought your Cataclysm Path was special, capable of resurrection. I didn't think much of it."

"What truly made me suspicious was when I learned you were a high-ranking member of the 'Fog Hidden Association' and that you were the 'Heavenly God Reincarnation'."

"At that point, I felt there was something odd about your identity and your motives." (Chapter 636)

"After all, you can be a 'Heavenly God Reincarnation,' and you've already joined the 'Fog Hidden Association' and are deeply trusted by Tian Qi."

"In theory, you shouldn't be in such a small place as Xinjie City, and yet you stayed there on the pretext of gratitude."

"So... Xinjie City, or rather Dongye State, must have people or things that interest you."

"Then I thought for a long time and suddenly realized that while Xinjie City appears ordinary, it isn't ordinary because the Regional Controller of Xinjie City is Larilo."

"Or rather... 'Heavenly God' Zhao Ji's soul splitting!"

"And what's more crucial is, you went to deliberately make contact with Larilo on Yan Chen's orders, intentionally being charmed by her and served her." (Chapter 249)

"So at that time, I speculated that your target was likely Zhao Ji. It's just that Zhao Ji was too strong, observing directly could easily draw her attention, so you targeted Larilo instead."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, then spun his chair to face the man in white directly. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Then he said, "However, at that time, I still couldn't guess why you wanted to approach Zhao Ji."

"Until... I learned from Zhi Yan and Doris that Tian Qi was actually infatuated with Zhao Ji."

"For hundreds of years, Tian Qi has looked up to Zhao Ji as an example, learning her charisma, her haughtiness, and even her 'pseudo Heavenly God Skill'...."

"So, I started to speculate that you were most likely instructed by Tian Qi to monitor Zhao Ji."

"But that thought was immediately dismissed by me. Because... with Tian Qi's personality, if he discovered a weak Zhao Ji, he would undoubtedly do whatever it takes to obtain her, rather than silently guarding her."

Hearing Qiu Tu's judgment, the man in white couldn't help but show an approving smile, crossing his legs and nodding slightly.

Clearly, he and Qiu Tu had the same judgment.

Qiu Tu, however, didn't care about the expression on the face of the man in white. After discussing the initial thought process, he touched his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, taking one for himself and tossing one to the man in white.

Both being Eighth Rank Deities, they didn't need things like matches, so with a slight touch, the cigarette was lit.

After taking a shallow drag of the cigarette, the man in white looked at Qiu Tu and then asked, "Based on your explanation just now, you should have hit a dead end by then."

"So, how did you resolve it next?"

Qiu Tu leaned back in his chair, took a silent puff, and then said, "At that time, I was indeed in a predicament."

"Because all your actions were inexplicable."

"Until one day, a flash of insight: why must it be Tian Qi who sent you to monitor Zhao Ji?"

"Isn't there a possibility... that Tian Qi is actually another Yan Chen?"

"The reason why he saved you was not by coincidence, but... your deliberate arrangement."

"Your contact with Tian Qi was initially because of Zhao Ji."

"After all... Tian Qi is a fanatic of Zhao Ji, and it's very likely that there are clues about Zhao Ji around him."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the smile in the eyes of the man in white deepened, and he said, "Very reasonable."

"But until here, at most you know my target is Zhao Ji. How did you deduce my identity?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's gaze lingered on the man in white briefly, then he said, "Actually, this was truly a coincidence."

Qiu Tu slowly said, "A couple of days ago, Zhao Ji and I had a deep conversation at midnight."

"The main topic was the 'Heavenly God Cataclysm' of that year."

"Zhao Ji gave me a detailed explanation of the entire process of the 'Heavenly God Cataclysm.'

"But I only noticed one detail, and that is... Zhao Ji mentioned that after the 'Heavenly God Cataclysm', the four Divine Kings became the evil dragons, for their own benefit, drove all Heavenly Gods but her out of this world." (Chapter 690)
