Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei did not hesitate, and directly took an oath.
Seeing Tang Feifei take the oath, Qiu Tu no longer held back.
He told Tang Feifei all the methods to become the Domain Master in detail.
Refining the Leyline Nodes was a method Tang Feifei knew about—this was the method provided by other Sanctuaries to the Eighth Sanctuary.
But for the "Central Hub," Tang Feifei truly had no knowledge.
So, when she learned that there was a hub that could directly control the entire region after refining it,
Tang Feifei immediately understood why Qiu Tu had been able to become the Domain Master ahead of all families and powers.
And when she heard that this central hub must be refined within the region itself, Tang Feifei was suddenly alarmed! Then... she understood why Qiu Tu had volunteered to be the team captain of the Dare-to-Die Team.
She also understood... why Qiu Tu, after sending the other Dare-to-Die Team members back, continued to fight alone in the "Boundless Heart Sea"...
Everyone thought Qiu Tu had the spirit of a hero, not returning until his mission was complete.
Now it seemed... actually, Qiu Tu was refining the "Central Hub" in the Boundless Heart Sea.
Thinking this and recalling how she had been moved just like everyone else recently, Tang Feifei felt a mix of amusement and embarrassment.
She realized, Qiu Tu, this man, was always three steps ahead; every move was killing two birds, or even three birds, with one stone. Keeping everyone in awe.
If there were truly past lives, then Tang Feifei thought Qiu Tu's past life must have been a con artist!
With that, after carefully explaining to Tang Feifei the methods to become the "Domain Master," Qiu Tu also began to urge Tang Feifei to head to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Bright Moon Area" to refine the Central Hub.
Tang Feifei felt somewhat tempted, so she limped towards her room to change clothes.
However, just as she was about to get up,
Suddenly, Qiu Tu, as if startled by something, sprang from the couch, flashing backward seven or eight steps.
Tang Feifei was startled, then looked at Qiu Tu with some confusion.
Then she saw that Qiu Tu's brow was deeply furrowed, his face unable to hide its gravity and disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Tang Feifei also noticed something was off with Qiu Tu, so she kept a cautious posture and asked coldly.
At her words, Qiu Tu looked up at Tang Feifei and asked solemnly, "Feifei, did you see something just now, or feel anything?"
Tang Feifei was slightly stunned at his question, then her spiritual power swept through the entire villa.
But... she found nothing.
She couldn't help but shake her head.
Hearing this, Qiu Tu's expression grew even more troubled...
Because, although Tang Feifei hadn't seen it, he had...
The patch of yellow fog from yesterday morning had returned...
And whether the speed of that yellow fog had slowed down, or Qiu Tu's strength had increased...
This time, Qiu Tu saw it more clearly than yesterday.
He felt that the yellow mist flashing before his eyes looked not like gas, but... shaped, like branches forked from a tree...
Just because it moved too quickly, that made Qiu Tu only see a yellow haze.
And what was more terrifying... after the yellow fog flashed past, Qiu Tu felt as if half his spiritual power had been drawn out.
That moment, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, as if lacking the energy for anything.
That feeling had deeply unsettled him...
And what was key, even so, his "Crisis Intuition" hadn't kicked in.
There were two possibilities: first, the "Crisis Intuition" was ineffective against this yellow fog... The second possibility was that this yellow fog posed no threat to his life.
The likelihood of the first possibility was quite small. The second possibility somewhat plausible.
But... Qiu Tu leaned more towards a third possibility: that the yellow fog posed a threat to his life, but... the time hadn't come yet.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu's expression became even more solemn...
'What on earth is going on...'
As Qiu Tu was puzzled,
In Dongye State, Parliament Building, Speaker's office.
Huang Shangzong had also just finished listening to the report from Ai Li, Head of the Third Division of the Attendant's Room.
He sat upright in a large chair, like a towering mountain.
His bulging muscles made his uniform stretch taut, and along with his broad, resolute face, he looked both formidable and profound.
His thick knuckles gently tapped on the armrest of the chair, his gaze filled with deep thought, "So... even after all your investigations, although you have not found out who is advancing to the Fourth Order... but you have found about Qiu Tu?"
Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, the twin-tailed girl Ai Li nodded, a cunning expression flashing across her face as she said, "Yes, Speaker."
"This really is luck."
"Yesterday, when I went to play with Xue'er, Yanyan also came."
Xue'er is Huang Shangzong's biological daughter.
And Yanyan... is Yan Chen's repeatedly identity-switched poor daughter...
The three, as they were all born from the Sanctuaries, grew up together due to their similar ages, and their elder family members all came from Academic Faction backgrounds. Their relationships were always good, making them close friends...
Often eating and sleeping together.
Ai Li, "And as she was leaving, Yanyan handed me a letter. She said it might be useful to me."
"The content of the letter is... over two months ago, when Dongye State was established, Qiu Tu had come to Eastern City secretly late at night."
