Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 753 - 403

"There's definitely something else going on here."

With that thought, Huang Shangzong's thick brows furrowed as he lay on his side, suddenly feeling as though he had fallen into some kind of conspiracy.

Just... this scheme was so ingenious that it had him completely outmaneuvered, leaving him clueless even now.

And then, recalling what the refined man had called "the junior."

An image of Qiu Tu's face... which was somehow unpleasant to look at, surfaced in Huang Shangzong's mind.

"Could it be... that I've been outmaneuvered by Qiu Tu once again?"

"And moreover, was this scheme not just about the recent Speaker's meeting?"

Thinking this, Huang Shangzong's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said annoyed, "Old Guo! Stop beating around the bush! Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

The refined man on the phone, upon hearing Huang Shangzong's words, chuckled.

Then he said, "Old Huang, look at you, getting impatient again."

"After all these years, when will you ever calm down?"

"Snap!" "General!"

Accompanied by the sound of a chess piece striking the board, the refined man laughed and said, "Old Zhou, you've lost. Pay up, pay up."

Huang Shangzong: ...

Perhaps sensing Huang Shangzong's speechlessness, a few seconds of noise came through the phone before the voice became clear again.

The refined man, as if walking into a quiet room, started to discuss the previous topic.

He spoke indifferently, "I just came back from Old Pang's place."

"Old Pang said that a remarkable young man has emerged in Dongye State and told me to pay attention to him when I have time."

Upon hearing the refined man's words, Huang Shangzong couldn't help asking, "Qiu Tu?"

The refined man chuckled, "It seems he is indeed outstanding. Otherwise... my first mention wouldn't have immediately made you think of him."

Huang Shangzong: ... freewēbnoveℓ.com

Huang Shangzong felt tired talking to these intellectual types, as even a conversation required calculation.

He snorted coldly, not bothering to respond.

Seeing this, the refined man just smiled and didn't mind.

He continued, "You're not wrong; it is indeed Qiu Tu."

At this, he countered, "Do you know what he has done?"

Huang Shangzong replied irritably, "If I knew what he had done, would I still be calling you?"

The refined man on the phone chuckled lightly, gesturing for the maid to brew a pot of tea for him.

Then seated in an ancient bamboo chamber, he spoke into the communicator on the table, "Well, he's done quite an impressive feat with Tang Feifei, making a significant contribution to the Human Camp."

Hearing the refined man's words, Huang Shangzong almost thought he had heard wrong.

He asked in surprise, "For the 'Human Camp'?"

The weight behind these four words was enormous.

But the refined man simply "Hmm" in agreement, affirming the statement, "Yes. For the 'Human Camp'."

His gaze also became a bit serious, then he said, "You must have already heard that it was he who helped Tang Feifei become the Domain Master, right?"

Huang Shangzong "Hmm" in acknowledgment.

These last few days, the news had been all over Xinjie City, and as the Speaker of Dongye State, how could he be unaware?

The refined man continued, "But he probably didn't disclose how he helped Tang Feifei become the Domain Master."

"Or perhaps, he merely said it was through Larilo."

Huang Shangzong again "Hmm" in acknowledgment.

The refined man spoke gravely, "What he said is both right and wrong."

"They did indeed obtain the information to become Domain Master through Larilo, but not from him."

The refined man added, "Qiu Tu is quite a lucky fellow. Over half a year ago, he encountered a Mysterious person."

"This Mysterious person is quite powerful and seems to have some magical methods."

"So, when he unintentionally captured Larilo's Soul Remnant, he got some other ideas."

"At the time, when the major factions and families were scrambling to become 'Domain Masters' and explore the 'Boundless Heart Sea - New Realm Region',"

"He just so happened to be part of Tang Feifei's team."

"So... he reported his thoughts to Tang Feifei."

"After learning of this information, Tang Feifei thought it very important. After contacting the Mysterious person, she agreed to cooperate."

"Thus, they secretly detained 'Larilo' and handed her over to the Mysterious person for interrogation, wanting to see if they could obtain some useful information about the Domain Master."

"Initially, Larilo, like the other Evil Gods, refused to cooperate. But after being tormented for two months, she finally gave in."

"She then revealed a lot of crucial intelligence about the Domain Master, including how to become one, the various states of a Domain Master, and even why so many Domain Masters from the various Sanctuaries ended up dead."

"However, the Mysterious person didn't seem to be from the Eighth Sanctuary, nor even affiliated with any Sanctuary's side."

"So, after obtaining the information, he negotiated a condition with Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei."

"The intelligence, he was willing to provide to Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei for free. He could also help Tang Feifei become the Domain Master."

"But... he wanted Larilo."

"He believed that Larilo held many more secrets, particularly regarding Zhao Ji, the Peak Fifth Order Great Evil God, and the secrets of the Boundless Heart Sea Core Area."

"Even... to demonstrate his sincerity, he was willing to provide half of the intelligence first to help Tang Feifei become the Domain Master."

"After deliberating, Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei thought that regardless, becoming the Domain Master should be their priority, so they tentatively agreed to the deal."

The refined man paused, then said, "The rest, you probably know."

"Tang Feifei became the Domain Master, advanced to a Fourth Order Catastrophe-evolver, and successfully rose to the position of Deputy Speaker."
