Thinking this, Ruolan couldn't help but feel uneasy again.
After all... as the personal maid of Princess Huiming, Ruolan was well aware of the Berserker God King's position in her master's heart.
Although the Berserker God King is a staunch supporter of the "Destruction Tyrant," he was actually nurtured by the Radiant Princess.
In the scheme of the Radiant Princess, the Berserker God King is an important piece of the puzzle for the "Destruction Tyrant" lineage.
If the Berserker God-King can be cultivated into a High-Level God-King, then the "Destruction Tyrant" lineage will have three High-Level God-Kings, completely dominating the "Destruction Path".
As a result, the Berserker God King has now been killed, and by a single sword strike at that.
This not only disrupted Princess Huiming's plans but also dealt her a severe blow.
Therefore, even before reporting the information to Princess Huiming, Ruolan could almost picture the princess's furious rage upon hearing the news...
So, when reporting intelligence, she kept her head down, extremely cautious, and dared not utter a single extra word...
The camp was eerily quiet, with only the occasional crackling sound of the lamp flames popping.
Ruolan secretly glanced at Princess Huiming, trying to figure out what the princess was really thinking.
Just then, Princess Huiming slowly spoke.
Her voice was authoritative, but without the slightest anger, only a hint of solemnity.
"A sword?"
"He killed the Berserker with a single sword strike?"
"Yes," Ruolan replied softly, her voice trembling slightly. "According to the Ghost Face God King's description, the opponent did indeed only use one sword strike."
Princess Huiming stopped spinning the chess piece in her hand. She raised her unfathomable phoenix eyes and looked at Ruolan, "The specific details."
Ruolan dared not be negligent and quickly recounted the contents of the secret report verbatim, without daring to omit or embellish it in the slightest.
Of course... she didn't dare let slip Qiu Tu's arrogant words, "A mere high-level God-King. If he dares to come, I dare to kill him..."
Upon hearing those words, Princess Huiming's expression remained unchanged, but a few glimmers of light flickered deep within her phoenix eyes.
Ruolan was too familiar with Princess Huiming, so when she saw that expression, she was momentarily stunned and didn't react...
'Your Highness...is Your Highness curious?'
Ruolan even doubted whether she had seen it wrong.
Therefore, I could only continue talking while secretly observing.
She continued like this until she finished speaking, and then Princess Huiming gently placed the black chess piece she was holding between her fingers onto the chessboard.
"Boom."
A soft sound rang out clearly in the silent tent.
"'He' said at the end that the guy with the ghost face was very lucky?" Princess Huiming asked.
Ruolan quickly replied, "Yes, yes..."
"Heh." Princess Huiming let out a very soft, ambiguous laugh.
This soft laugh made Ruolan even more unable to fathom His Highness's thoughts.
She couldn't understand why His Highness, upon hearing of such a crushing defeat, was not angry at all, but instead seemed to have heard an interesting story.
"Interesting." Princess Huiming casually tossed the chess piece back into the chess box, making a crisp clinking sound.
She slowly stood up, walked to the sand table, and her gaze fell on the light spot representing the destroyed royal court. Her eyes became distant and profound.
"Masters of disguise, cunning and meticulous, able to manipulate the Shadow Division at will..."
"Moreover, his swordsmanship is divine and unparalleled, capable of slaying a berserker with a single strike..."
"This Temple of Order truly produces a wealth of talented individuals."
Her tone sounded admiring, but it carried a chilling undertone.
Ruolan stood behind her, not daring to breathe. She could sense that although Her Highness was not angry, this newly appeared "Qiu Tu" God King had clearly succeeded in attracting her attention.
Over the years, the enemies that Princess Huiming values have always met the same fate.
But... remembering the glimmer in Princess Huiming's eyes earlier, Ruolan was still a little unsure...
She had a feeling that this time, the Princess of Radiant Fate was different from the previous ones...
Silence fell once again in the tent.
Princess Huiming stared at the sand table, seemingly deducing something. After a moment, she made a decision and commanded authoritatively, "Have Ghostface and those 11 guys send over their memories from tonight. I want to examine them myself."
In short, the fact that the princess of the Radiant Life could summon several hidden memories from the twelve god-kings is enough to demonstrate her power throughout the entire "Royal Court".
But this was perfectly normal in the entire "Destroyed Royal Court".
So she quickly bowed her head and replied, "Yes, Your Highness. I'll make the arrangements right away."
After saying this, she bowed and prepared to leave the tent.
Just then, Huiming seemed to remember something and suddenly called out to her, "By the way, where's Yunmao? Has she been acting strangely lately?"
Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, Ruolan paused for a moment, then thought for a second before quickly replying, "Your Highness, Lord Yunmao... has not made any unusual moves."
"He seems... to be completely unaware of and unconcerned about what's happening at the royal court," Ruolan said.
Upon hearing Ruolan's words, Princess Huiming remained silent for a moment.
The atmosphere inside the tent became oppressive once again.
Princess Huiming remained silent, and Ruolan dared not speak either, so they could only stand there silently and watch.
She could sense that although Princess Huiming's gaze was fixed on the sand table, her thoughts had already drifted far away. It was as if she was weighing her options and making a judgment.
To be honest, Ruolan really didn't understand.
Although Cloud Cat God King was a God King who betrayed the "Temple of Order" and joined the Royal Court, she has always been loyal to the Royal Court, and Princess Huiming trusts her very much.
Ruolan truly didn't understand why Princess Huiming had suddenly become so suspicious of the Cloud Cat God King.
As Huiming's personal maid, she had read a lot of the latest information about the Cloud Cat God King and had even met him in person, but she didn't sense anything unusual.
So... after thinking for a long time, Ruolan finally mustered up her courage and cautiously asked, "Your Highness, then... can the suspicion against Cloud Cat God King be cleared?"
She asked this question with great trepidation, because she knew that Princess Huiming was not someone who liked to be influenced by others.
The night breeze rustled the curtains, making a soft "shush" sound, as if urging for an answer.
After a long time, long enough that Ruolan thought Princess Huiming wouldn't answer, Princess Huiming finally nodded almost imperceptibly.
However, after nodding, Princess Huiming added, "Once I've reviewed Ghost Face and the others' memories and confirmed that 'Qiu Tu' really wasn't tipped off, we can lift the restrictions."
Upon hearing this, Ruolan nodded quickly and bowed, saying, "Then I will urge Lord Ghostface and the others to transfer the memories now."
"Hmm..." Princess Huiming nodded without any expression of joy or sorrow, making it impossible to discern her thoughts...
.....
at the same time.
Inside Princess Huiming's tent, on that large, soft bed.
A snow-white ball of fluff is curled up on the finely crafted pillow, making even and steady breathing sounds.
He looked like he was sleeping soundly, even the tip of his fluffy tail was gently brushing the pillow with the rhythm of his breathing, a picture of tranquility and detachment from worldly strife.
However, beneath this lazy and harmless exterior, Qiu Tu sat expressionlessly inside the "Punishment God Realm".
That's right, he didn't sleep.
He hadn't slept since the moment Princess Huiming left. His current sleep was merely a mimicking of the actions of the Cloud Cat God King.
As for himself, he is waiting, waiting for a result.
It was a matter of life and death for him and Zhao Ji, a matter of whether he had won or lost his gamble tonight.
The reason is simple: he ultimately chose to trust his own judgment and to trust Zhao Ji, so... he didn't inform Zhao Ji.
His decision was extremely bold and ruthless, resembling a high-stakes gamble that placed Zehime in a perilous situation where she had almost no chance of survival.
But... this was the result of Qiu Tu's careful consideration.
Because he genuinely felt that Princess Huiming and Ruolan's actions tonight were far too deliberate.
Who is Princess Huiming?
He is the mastermind behind the destruction of the royal court. He is a top strategist with a mind as sharp as a demon, capable of manipulating intelligence agencies from all five major channels.
But who is Ruolan?
She was Princess Huiming's personal maid.
How could these two people, when they were doubting him, happen to be talking about information related to him? And how could they "inadvertently" show it to him?
How could they make such a basic mistake?
Secondly, who is the Destroyer Tyrant?
He is the one and only king of the entire "Court of Destruction". He is the true god of the entire "Path of Destruction".
Such a figure has become a totem, a symbol. He cannot be easily dealt with.
Even if Ghostface is incredibly bold, would he really dare to plan his actions and get the Destruction Tyrant to make a move?
Qiu Tu put himself in the shoes of the Ghost Face God King.
If Qiu Tu were a subordinate, he would absolutely not dare to trouble his superior so easily.
Because as an ambitious subordinate, your job is to help your superiors solve problems, not to cause them trouble.
The Shadow Division didn't make a move, the Berserker didn't make a move, and even... Huiming didn't make a move, yet they directly sent the Destruction Tyrant to make a move?
Does this really align with the mindset of an ambitious subordinate?
Even at this point, Qiu Tu still didn't dare to gamble.
Because he wasn't the God-King recommended by Destruction. The God-King of Destruction had many dim-witted individuals and a very direct approach to things.
Therefore, he hesitated and struggled with the decision.
But... what finally made him decide was that Princess Huiming left the camp because of the dire situation in the "Chaotic Western Capital".
It should be noted that from the moment Qiu Tu entered the "Destruction Camp", Princess Huiming had become suspicious of him, and even wanted to hold him while sleeping at night.
So, you've so easily relaxed your self-control?
This can't even be called a flaw; it's a complete blunder.
It was precisely because of these loopholes that Qiu Tu dared to bet so boldly that this was a trap! A trap aimed at him!
In fact, the Destroyer Tyrant would never lay a hand on Lady Zhao!
Princess Huiming and Ghost Face are actually targeting him! As long as he uses any means to try to pass on this "information," Princess Huiming, who has already laid a trap, will immediately capture him!
Therefore, he cannot move.
He has to gamble.
Another factor that supported Qiu Tu's willingness to take such a gamble was Zhao Ji's strength and the arrangements he made before leaving.
Before leaving, Qiu Tu left Zhao Ji all the resources she needed to advance and also made sure she had a way out.
He didn't need Zhao Ji to face the enemy directly; he only needed her to appear in the "Royal Court" on his behalf to dispel his suspicions.
Therefore, when he made the plan early on, he instructed Zhao Ji to immediately use spatial teleportation after the battle to retreat through the world passage.
In this situation, even if Ghost Face really manages to summon the Tyrant of Destruction, the Tyrant of Destruction won't be able to stop Zhao Ji unless it's paying close attention to the entire battle or blocking the entrance to the world passage!
Despite having so many reasons and making so many judgments, Qiu Tu still felt uneasy until things were finalized.
Just as he was thinking this, footsteps finally came from outside the tent...

Upon hearing the footsteps, Qiu Tu perked up his ears. He then pretended to be awakened by the sound, shook his head, and half-sat up, looking out of the tent.
A moment later, the curtain was lifted, and Princess Huiming and Ruolan entered one after the other, bringing with them the chill of the night.
