Chapter 501: "Muye" Escapes! (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)
Twice reborn, Qiu Tu's favorite thing is this kind of complex situation.
Because the more complex the situation, the more operations he can perform.
An excellent politician can never walk along the opponent's rhythm and thoughts.
However, right now, Qiu Tu certainly cannot expose his ambitious wolfish intentions.
This is like when interacting with a woman, when it's time to "flirt a little", you should "flirt a little", when it's time to "remain still", you "remain still".....
If you start shooting straight away, the woman would have been scared off early on.
So, thinking of this, Qiu Tu showed a harmless expression, then smiled at Princess Xi before him, and said, "Princess, what you said is too important and could likely have a huge impact on the two Sanctuaries."
"Therefore, please allow me to consider it..."
"I will give you a reply in a few days."
Princess Xi is indeed a woman with deep plans, some of her performances in the real world are clearly a protective coloration.
Now that she no longer pretends in front of Qiu Tu, she patiently said deeply, "Alright, then I will quietly await good news from Speaker Qiu."
Qiu Tu gave a slight nod, then inquired about another topic of interest to him.
"Princess, you said the Kou family has joined the Evil God Organization, and then told Ai Li that Old Pang is not trustworthy."
"So.... do you think Old Pang has also sided with the Evil God, is that it?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi's expression did not change, she said blandly, "I do not think so."
"The reason I don't trust Old Pang is because he has always been very opposed to the 'monarchy,' he believes the monarchy is a regression of the times, moving towards dictatorship."
"And King Kang thinks special times require special treatment. In such a chaotic and crisis-ridden world, the role of the leader far exceeds that of the collective."
"Therefore, even if it is a monarchy, even if it is dictatorship, as long as it can lead humanity forward, it's okay."
Speaking of this, Princess Xi paused, then said, "Speaker Qiu, as a Fifth-Order Calamity Being, you should already know the road ahead and have discovered that strange selection of 'World Origin'."
"Heroes rise with fortune, the circumstances create heroes. Even 'World Origin' is selecting a bloody tyrannical ruler to lead the world through the crisis."
"How dare we, insignificant humanity living in constant dread, go against the tide of the times?"
Upon saying this, a trace of discomfort appeared on Princess Xi's flawlessly beautiful face, she said, "However, no matter what, Old Pang indeed has different political views than King Kang."
"Therefore..... if he knows King Kang is ill, he most likely wouldn't help us, and might even obstruct my plea for help."
"After all, with King Kang dead, the Sixth Sanctuary might have a chance to return to a democratic or republican system."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu slightly nodded, feeling that Princess Xi's analysis was reasonable and grounded.
Then, he asked, "What about Ai Li's parents' death....?"
Princess Xi heard the words, her sapphire eyes deeply looked at Qiu Tu, and said, "I didn't expect Speaker Qiu to have such a close relationship with Ai Li?"
"Could it be.... Ai Li is also your bedchamber guest?"
Upon hearing Princess Xi's words, Qiu Tu chuckled, then said, "Not quite."
"You also know Ai Li likes to gamble. And what I lack in other things, I more than make for in wealth."
"So, I often have to give her billions of dollars."
Princess Xi: ??
Princess Xi is already married, certainly not like Shen Lingshuang who can't understand crude jokes.
So, although Qiu Tu painted the situation so completely, when "billions" came out, Princess Xi still couldn't quite hold it together.
She glared at Qiu Tu in embarrassment and anger, thinking that this man before her is indeed as rumored, an absolute lecher!
This guy actually dares to flirt with me, a dignified princess!
Truly bold beyond belief!
No wonder, so many people speculate that his Cataclysm Path is related to women.
But.... Qiu Tu's words indeed have a legitimate explanation, Princess Xi wanted to catch a slip of the tongue but couldn't find one.
Moreover, now she still relied on Qiu Tu, so she could only take a deep breath and endured this humiliation.
She replied coldly, "I see."
Then decisively changed the subject and explained the question Qiu Tu asked earlier.
She said with a serious face, "In fact, Ai Li's parents were the direct lineage cultivated by King Kang from the start."
"Never mind that their positions weren't very high at the time, just between Bureau Chief and State Deputy Speaker in the Sixth Sanctuary, but.... their capabilities had long been exceptional, having considerable influence in the Sixth Sanctuary."
"At that time, King Kang valued them greatly, wanting to nurture them for a few more years, planning to bring them into the cabinet to balance Kou Xuan."
"And to train their abilities, as well as to enhance their credentials, King Kang sent them to the Eighth Sanctuary, directly promoting them one level, allowing them to lead a team to help set up the 'Officer Academy.'"
"The result.... just as they completed the setup and were about to return to the Sixth Sanctuary, Ai Li's parents went out with Old Pang to perform a mission, but suddenly met with an unforeseen accident."
"At that time, the response from the Eighth Sanctuary was that they encountered an Evil God attack, finding themselves outmatched, and ultimately perished, even Old Pang barely escaping with one arm lost."
"However....." At this point, Princess Xi changed her tone, her face becoming serious, "Afterwards King Kang used the 'Special Catastrophe Treasure' to divine, discovering that the operation had issues, that it was a plot from the very beginning."
"Although the divination did not directly point to Old Pang, he remains the biggest suspect."
