Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 615 - 357

Qiu Tu didn’t know whether Qin Shuman had detected his nervous expression.

While following beside Qiu Tu, Qin Shuman curiously asked, "Minister Qiu, I feel... you seem a bit nervous."

"Do you and Director Tang not get along?"

Hearing Qin Shuman’s probing, Qiu Tu felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

This was exactly what he had been afraid of!

The three women hadn’t even met yet, and the first probe had already arrived.

Thinking thus, Qiu Tu couldn’t help but rapidly turn his thoughts, pondering how to handle this minor test before the major one.

He felt that directly denying his relationship with Tang Feifei was definitely unrealistic.

After all, one could say that Qin Shuman was not shrewd enough or thorough in her actions, but one couldn’t say she was incompetent.

Especially in terms of her ability to gather intelligence, this woman was one of the strongest people Qiu Tu had ever met.

Otherwise, when Dai Yukang was promoted to Deputy Speaker, he wouldn’t have given her the important position of head of the Security Department in Xinjie City.

So... he couldn’t lie. He could only slightly alter some details!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu quickly forced a smile and then said, "How could that be?"

He stated earnestly, "Director Tang is one of my closest superiors. I’ve always had a good relationship with her."

Qin Shuman looked at Qiu Tu with a smile in her eyes, "Just a superior?"

Qiu Tu felt that today’s Qin Shuman was particularly aggressive!

Even more so than Tan Huimin earlier that day—the woman probably feared she wouldn’t be able to return, so she directly confronted him!

Moreover, she wasn’t picky at all, drinking milk and eating bananas. After finishing the interaction, she continued to force Qiu Tu to survive in a tight spot.

She truly didn’t leave any breathing room for Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu was still feeling a bit sore in his back now.

And now, Qin Shuman was giving Qiu Tu the same feeling, with one wave of offense after another, leaving him unable to respond.

As Qiu Tu thought this, Qin Shuman made another move, curiously looking at Qiu Tu, and asking, "I heard... you often visit Director Tang’s office? And occasionally you even spend the night at her place?"

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu coughed once, "Subjectively, no. Objectively, perhaps there is."

Qin Shuman "Oh~" with a laugh, watching Qiu Tu, the smile almost spilling from her lips.

Qiu Tu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, with thorns in his back, like a bone stuck in his throat.

He took a deep breath, thinking that rather than being slowly sliced by this soft knife, it was better to be honest!

Just then, Qin Shuman suddenly changed the topic.

With a serious face, she said, "I don’t know why Director Tang has come; she hasn’t told me."

"But... I came this time because I’m worried about you."

"This operation is far too dangerous."

"The higher-ups making such a decision is really making a joke of your lives."

"So... my coming here actually has two purposes."

"One is to bring you a Cataclysmic treasure, named ’Spiritual Escape’."

As she spoke, Qin Shuman handed a small pendant to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu curiously reached out to receive it.

Qin Shuman explained, "This Cataclysmic treasure has no other function, just one: it preserves consciousness."

"If your soul suffers a fatal wound within the Boundless Heart Sea, it can retain a strand of your consciousness!"

"This way, at least you have a sliver of hope to survive."

"If you could be found by the subsequent rescue team, and return to your body."

"Even though the path through the Cataclysm is severed, but... at least you could still survive, and... your strength would be greater than that of an ordinary person."

At the end, Qin Shuman made a joke.

Qiu Tu couldn’t help but glance at her, taking the pendant, his gaze somewhat stirred.

He felt that indeed... two hours of love is the best. A night of love is also acceptable. A love too long... tends to make one anxious.

Qin Shuman, such an independent, self-sufficient woman, still exploded gold coins for his sake.

If this were his previous life, he could now slowly begin to close the net...

Qin Shuman had no idea what Qiu Tu was wildly imagining. She continued,

"As for the second reason, it’s to collect firsthand intelligence on the invasion of the Evil God."

"This invasion by the Evil God will surely create a huge shift in the landscape of Xinjie City."

"For the Security Department, specially tasked with handling supernatural affairs, our intelligence work still needs to be ahead of the curve."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu slightly nodded, then internally judged Qin Shuman’s second reason as an excuse.

Wanting to collect intelligence didn’t necessarily require risking herself in person.

You should know, the Yinxin Sea is a world of spirits. Qin Shuman’s consciousness possessed this world.

Once Mao Tu is injured, she wouldn’t remain unaffected like in the real world; she might likely be injured as well.

And if the Evil God acted swiftly, Qin Shuman’s consciousness might be dispersed along with Mao Tu!

So, coming into Yinxin Sea possessed as opposed to in person doesn’t make much difference.

Ah… really, such heavy favor from a beauty.

Thus, as Qiu Tu thought this, the two of them quickly arrived at the "Pioneer Base".

This was Qiu Tu’s first time seeing the Sanctuary’s Pioneer Base.

This base wasn’t large; its perimeter was made from chunks of bluestone, and inside were several Wubao. Under the sunlight, they reflected a cold, ancient bluish light.

Upon reaching the base, Qiu Tu pulled out a small blue stone. The next second, the base’s bluestone walls began to move upward and outward, soon forming an arch-shaped gate.

Qiu Tu and Qin Shuman walked in. Inside the base, there were already six or seven members of the "Dare-to-Die Team," seriously chatting with stern expressions.
