Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei reflexively wanted to comfort him with her speech.
But it seemed like Qiu Tu had guessed what she was about to say, as he spoke first, "I know, you want to say that with you and Liu Xiongyuan, Dai Yukang, Huang Shangzong wouldn't assign such missions."
Tang Feifei uttered an acknowledgment.
Qiu Tu, however, shook his head. He placed the black cat on his lap and then said, "Huang Shangzong is not so easy to deal with."
"You can clash with him head-on once, twice, or even thrice, but you cannot protect me every single time."
"In times of war, to oppose the top officials like this, Liu Xiongyuan could simply imprison you, and the Sanctuary wouldn't intervene at all."
"Moreover, you and Liu Xiongyuan are insiders, but Dai Yukang is not... My relationship with him is merely trading and cooperation."
"The last time I asked for his help, I used up the favor he owed me. It won't be so easy to get his help again."
