Hearing Tang Jiancha's words, Guo Huai fell into a brief contemplation before speaking highly of Qiu Tu, "Although I've only met him once, I think Qiu Tu is the kind of person who remembers and repays kindness."

"He surely can't be oblivious to the sacrifices Feifei has made for him. He will treat Feifei well."

Guo Huai wouldn't have brought this up, but no sooner had he spoken than Tang Jiancha hurriedly said, "No, no, no. That's something you can only say to me. Don't ever say that to my brother."

"My brother might have not shown it on his face, but he's been gloomy all day."

"I heard that last night, he directly pulled Qiu Tu's files and related intelligence from several information departments."

"After reading them, his face turned dark."

"I heard that if he wasn't so caught up with official duties, he would have already killed his way to Xinjie City by now."

Guo Huai clearly didn't understand. He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

Tang Jiancha spoke nonchalantly, "Not sure. Probably has something to do with women..."

A day quickly passed by.

In the evening, blockbuster news traveled from the state to Xinjie City.

"After deliberation by the Sanctuary, Tang Feifei's position as Acting Chief of the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau has been revoked, promoting her to Deputy Speaker of the Dongye State Council."

When this news was released, the entirety of Xinjie City was shocked.

Everyone knew that, given Tang Feifei's abilities, status as Domain Master, and the support from her background, it was only a matter of time before she would become the Deputy Speaker!

But this day had arrived too soon!

So soon that everyone felt it was a bit rushed.

After all, Tang Feifei was a genuine descendant of a founding family, and her grandfather held the "Founding Stock" of the Sanctuary.

She didn't need to fight and claw for each level like those at the bottom.

She just needed to advance step by step, steadily.

Getting promoted too quickly could actually cause problems.

Yet, Tang Fei was promoted just like that.

What was even more peculiar: After Tang Feifei was stripped of her Acting Chief position, there was unexpectedly no one to take over.

How important a city's Bureau Chief position is—it's one of the Three Giants, after all. So many people were eying this spot.

This bizarre yet familiar phenomenon inevitably led to a bold guess among the people: was this, perhaps, being held for someone?

And just as the appointment notice was sent to the Xinjie City Investigation Bureau,

Qiu Tu was in Tang Feifei's office, explaining the plan for what comes next to her.

Looking at Tang Feifei, he said, "Now... you have successfully obtained the Deputy Speaker position."

"But... our plan is only half-completed at this point."

"Next, our most important mission is to clear out those Evil Gods that have infiltrated Xinjie."

"And to hunt down at least one of them."

"To ensure the success of this plan, our collective strength is still insufficient."

"Right now, in terms of Fourth Rank Combat Power, there's only you. We are still a few hands short."

As he said this, Qiu Tu looked at Tang Feifei and spoke earnestly, "For example, me..."

"In these past few days, I've been feeling the power of the 'False Frame' of the Domain Master growing stronger and stronger."

"It's getting increasingly difficult to suppress."

"Therefore, I'm preparing to advance to a Fourth-order Cataclysmic as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei looked over with complex emotions filling her beautiful eyes.

To be truthful, she did suspect that Qiu Tu might break through to the fourth order, but... she never imagined it would be so soon.

There was a time when she couldn't even see Qiu Tu's shadow.

But now... Just as she'd advanced to a Fourth-order Cataclysmic, Qiu Tu was poised to follow suit?

Guo Huai was clearly puzzled. He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why?"
