Chapter 690 382: Promotion to Fourth-Order Cataclysmic! (10,000 characters for Monthly Ticket!)
When Tang Feifei guessed Qiu Tu's Cataclysm Path, it was as if a giant wave had been unleashed in her heart!
After all, this Cataclysm Path was just too exaggerated, tied to position and power.
It was clearly a double-edged sword!
It could quickly improve one's own strength due to promotions, but it also had the potential risk of plummeting into the dust due to a demotion.
And .... one should know that people like Qiu Tu, who were capable, smart, meritorious, and fortunate in getting rapid promotions, were after all a minority.
Most people, even if they racked their brains like Qiu Tu, could only get promoted step-by-step. A few levels up in a dozen years.
And ... during these dozen years, they couldn't afford any slip-ups. Once an error occurred, it might lead to stagnation or demotion, causing a significant reduction in strength.
"No wonder Qiu Tu is desperate to climb up...."
Having understood Qiu Tu's abnormal behavior recently, Tang Feifei suddenly thought of another issue, "No wonder Qiu Tu hides his 'Domain Master' identity..."
He had clearly detected the "double-edged sword" nature of his Cataclysm Path.
Knowing that once exposed, he could very likely be targeted by enemies.
So... he had to act in front of others, proving that he became a Fourth-order Cataclysmic "on his own," without any promotion, to dispel others' suspicions about his Cataclysm Path.
Thinking about this, Tang Feifei couldn't help but glance again at the intertwined figures of Nuwo and Fuxi in the sky.
She suddenly felt... this Illusion of the Law really somewhat resembled Qiu Tu's state.
To outsiders, it seemed that Qiu Tu only cared about women and reproduction.
But only those who truly understood Qiu Tu knew that he wanted to establish his own rules in these two worlds!
Tang Feifei went over her guess about Qiu Tu's Cataclysm Path again in her mind and looked at Larilo, who was still muttering that Qiu Tu was a "Reproduction Path" Cataclysmic, without explaining.
She knew that Qiu Tu chose her to guard the law because he completely trusted her.
With Qiu Tu's understanding of her, he surely could guess that she would see through his Cataclysm Path after seeing the Illusion of the Law.
But still, Qiu Tu chose to let her guard the law.
This trust was not to be let down.
In her heart, she secretly classified the matter of Qiu Tu's Cataclysm Path as top secret.
Tang Feifei withdrew her gaze, stood on the hillside, eyes slightly narrowed, sharply scanning the surroundings, vigilantly observing every movement.
Since she had agreed to help Qiu Tu guard the path, even if she fell, she would not let anyone disrupt Qiu Tu's promotion!
...
A night without words.
Soon, a night had passed.
When the sun set in the Boundless Heart Sea and the moon hung high, Qiu Tu's Illusion of the Law over the desert became even more prominent.
The real world's Rising Sun also lit up the whole world!
Morning, Xinjie City Investigation Bureau.
Due to the rapid changes in the situation recently, the Investigation Bureau was now a bit turbulent.
First, Yan Chen was transferred, and Tang Feifei became the Acting Bureau Chief, temporarily in charge of everything in the bureau.
Then, just a few days later, Tang Feifei became the Domain Master, promoted to a Fourth-order Cataclysmic, and Qiu Tu temporarily acted as the Bureau Chief.
Afterward, Tang Feifei successfully advanced to a Fourth-order Cataclysmic, becoming the only Domain Master and Fourth-order Cataclysmic Member of Parliament in Dongye State.
Everyone thought that under such circumstances, Xinjie City Investigation Bureau would enter a very stable period of development.
But, who knew... the Sanctuary suddenly issued a document promoting Tang Feifei to Deputy Speaker of Dongye State.
Although it shocked everyone's eyes, it was understandable.
But... what everyone didn't understand was, now that Tang Feifei had been promoted to Deputy Speaker, why was the position of the Investigation Bureau Chief still vacant?
Even if Yu Zhengyi and Qiu Tu weren't quite suitable for becoming the Bureau Chief, they could still parachute someone in for the position.
But... nothing was done.
This kind of change left everyone puzzled about what the Sanctuary really intended.
Initially, some agents, section chiefs, and directors speculated: Did the Sanctuary actually have someone in mind, but that person was temporarily not suitable to become the Investigation Bureau Chief, so they deliberately left the position vacant?
Of course... this speculation almost directly spelled out "Qiu Tu."
Therefore, the whole Investigation Bureau started to quietly observe Qiu Tu's situation.
But then.... they found... Qiu Tu seemed to have given up?
After showing his face a few times yesterday, today he simply stayed in his office and didn't come out.
No one knew what he was doing inside, nor what he was really thinking.
But... everyone knew, this definitely wasn't the state of a "winner."
So, for a while, the whole Investigation Bureau started guessing the Sanctuary's intentions again....
And at this time, while the turmoil was happening in the Investigation Bureau.
12th floor, Yu Zhengyi's office.
Yu Zhengyi and Shi Youxin sat opposite each other, both frowning.
Shi Youxin sipped his tea and then muttered in a low voice while frowning, "Logically speaking... it shouldn't be like this."
"The Tang family moved too hastily in promoting Tang Feifei, giving her hardly any advantage other than making her a target for everyone."
"And... leaving a Member of Parliament's position vacant but not arranging someone. It's clearly telling everyone that there's something fishy about this position, reserved for someone specific."
"But... for whom is it reserved?"
"For Qiu Tu? Then why hasn't Qiu Tu come forward to take over the power?"
"I just don't understand, really don't understand." Shi Youxin shook his head slightly, his face full of confusion.
What do you think?
