Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1486 - 634: Qiu Tu: Zhao Ji Covets My Good Looks (Double Monthly Tickets Requested!)

At this moment, just as the Golden Lion was thinking this, King Zhi Yan also spoke up.

Perhaps women of any age like compliments, or perhaps she was deliberately trying to protect Qiu Tu.

Her beautiful eyes fell on Qiu Tu, then she chuckled softly and followed Qiu Tu's words, saying, "I've long heard Li Feng say that Speaker Qiu has a sweet mouth, and today I see it is indeed well-deserved."

Hearing King Zhi Yan's words, Qiu Tu quickly waved his hand and pretended to be nervous, saying, "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand. Commander Li Feng and I are innocent. She has never tasted my lips."

"Hee hee hee." This time, King Zhi Yan's laughter was obviously more sincere, her eyes curved into crescents.

She looked at Qiu Tu with a gaze as gentle as water, smilingly saying, "No wonder Xiao Feng likes you. If I were 20 years younger, I'd like you too."

Hearing King Zhi Yan's words, the amusement in Qiu Tu's eyes deepened, and he replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, you're joking. It's not that you should be 20 years younger, it's that I was 20 years late."

Listening to Qiu Tu's words, King Zhi Yan laughed even more happily.

And while Qiu Tu was continuously flattering King Zhi Yan, his mind was rapidly working, then he reviewed his plan.....

In fact, even while he was formulating the plan earlier, Qiu Tu had been carefully studying the "Crisis Intelligence." This allowed him to keenly detect a key piece of information hidden within the "Crisis Intelligence."

"The Golden Lion who has an old grudge with him" and "Zhi Yan."

This was the first sentence the "Crisis Intelligence" started with. However, it pointed out the key to breaking this stalemate: the two's different attitudes towards Qiu Tu.

The Golden Lion with an old grudge was obviously the one more likely to be detrimental to Qiu Tu, while Zhi Yan was someone he could win over.

Therefore, when formulating the plan, Qiu Tu determined his core strategy: divide the two, make them counterbalance each other, and unable to act against him.

And the key to this was to advance cautiously, accumulating advantages to build a winning strategy!

Therefore..... Qiu Tu began by directly exposing himself, shouting their names, actively seeking them out: this was to reduce his adversarial stance with them, making himself appear as if he was on their side;

Next, Qiu Tu took the initiative, saying he was there to save them, but without explaining the reason, this was to keep them guessing and prevent them from acting against him without hearing him out;

Then, Qiu Tu swore on the "World Origin" to prove that he did not kill the Nine-headed Lion, silencing the Golden Lion, giving him no just cause to act against him;

Finally, it was about winning over and pleasing Zhi Yan, allowing her to counterbalance the Nine-headed Lion.

This plan was tightly interwoven, with no link that could be neglected.

And the most critical among these were the "swearing" and "winning over Zhi Yan."

For the former, Qiu Tu was indeed not lying. Back then, the Nine-headed Lion clearly could have battled him openly, but he was ambushed and killed in a sneak attack by Zhao Ji's single sword strike. (Chapter 589)

So, despite Qiu Tu boasting outside every day, claiming he and Zhao Ji teamed up to kill the Nine-headed Lion, he actually had no chance to directly confront the Nine-headed Lion.

As for the latter... Qiu Tu admitted there was an element of gambling. But it was indeed based on his analysis of Zhi Yan's and the Golden Lion's communication habits, and the operational style of the 2nd Sanctuary over the years. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

He believed the 2nd Sanctuary's collaboration with the "Fog Hidden Association" probably had some deep reasons.

The fact that the "2nd Sanctuary" broke away from the "Fog Hidden Association" controlled area in a fallout must be true.

And the "2nd Sanctuary" has always been supporting various sanctuaries over the years, providing precious resources like "Mountain Root" to all major sanctuaries, which was evidently sincere.

There might be calculation and transactions involved, but there was also a sense of fellowship.

As one of the most outstanding human talents in recent years, without confirming his stance toward the 2nd Sanctuary, Zhi Yan would certainly prioritize saving him.

And judging by Zhi Yan's current cooperation, this was indeed the case.

After all, although Qiu Tu indeed held the "Emotional Handbook," and could speak eloquently, but! it wasn't enough to make a mature woman sway with just a few words!

This only indicated that Zhi Yan was deliberately cooperating, signaling to Qiu Tu and stating her stance to the Golden Lion!

Sure enough, Qiu Tu realized this, and the Golden Lion also perceived this.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced hesitantly at Zhi Yan.

In his heart, Zhi Yan has always been a very stable woman.

Even if the Qiu Tu in front of her was indeed handsome, talented, capable, eloquent, and humorous... but, like him, just an ordinary man!

It shouldn't move Zhi Yan to such emotions. Turning what was clearly a three-person play into himself being just a background character.

Therefore..... this only showed one thing: Zhi Yan wanted to protect Qiu Tu.

Thinking of this, the Golden Lion's gaze darkened slightly.

Although the two sides cooperated, it had to be said that the stance of the "Fog Hidden Association" and the 2nd Sanctuary was not the same.

The 2nd Sanctuary might wish for a human super strong person to emerge, but the "Fog Hidden Association" does not.

With that in mind, the Golden Lion's brain spun quickly, starting to look for Qiu Tu's flaws and weaknesses.

A moment later, inspiration struck him, and he interrupted the flirting banter of the two, sullenly asking, "Did you just say you know the problem with this 'Heavenly God Trial'?"

Hearing the Golden Lion's words, Qiu Tu paused his interaction with Zhi Yan, nodded towards the Golden Lion, "Yes."
