The Elder Council meeting at the Seventh Sanctuary was originally the largest event for the Human Camp recently, as it concerned the interests of the major sanctuaries. Therefore, all major sanctuaries kept a close watch on it.

So soon after the meeting ended, the high-level figures of the major sanctuaries almost immediately learned all the details of the meeting.

That Qiu Tu was successfully elected as the number one leader was not surprising to anyone.

No elder on the scene dared to oppose or question this, which also wasn't surprising.

What surprised everyone was... why Princess Xi, who was set up, was so calm...

This unusual behavior immediately puzzled many high-level figures of the sanctuaries.....

Sixth Sanctuary. Central Hub.

Kou Xuan received the report from Su Wanqing almost immediately.

"The entire meeting only took 28 minutes?"

"Princess Xi not only didn't oppose or question, she even... self-reflected?"

Looking at his attractive cousin before him, Kou Xuan frowned slightly, silently contemplating...

While Kou Xuan was deep in thought, Su Wanqing stood there gracefully, without making any move. The room fell into silence....

After a moment, Kou Xuan snapped back and looked at Su Wanqing, asking, "Wanqing, what do you think?"

Su Wanqing hesitated for a while, then cautiously said, "Actually... I haven't figured it out either."

"I find this matter rather peculiar. It completely doesn't align with the personalities of Qiu Tu and Princess Xi."

Kou Xuan nodded slightly.

With a profound gaze, he said, "I actually considered seven or eight possibilities just now. But they all somewhat contradict each other."

Su Wanqing was surprised by this, "Seven or eight?"

Kou Xuan casually responded with a "Hmm," and then said, "Among them... the most likely one is: Qiu Tu plans to breach the agreement."

"Breach the agreement?" Su Wanqing hesitated for a moment.

Kou Xuan explained, "Firstly, we can confirm that Lin Xi's life experiences were overly unique, which led to her extremely radical personality that's hard to change."

"In her life, there are only two keywords: revenge and power."

"And now, Qiu Tu had handed her power personally, then took it away personally. She must go mad. She couldn't possibly be this calm."

"So, I speculate in reverse."

"The only possibility for Princess Xi to remain this calm is that Qiu Tu didn't personally take away her power."

Being one of the ten outstanding figures of the Kou family, Su Wanqing had considerable ability.

Upon Kou Xuan's mention, realization dawned on her face, and she responded,

"So... cousin, you guess that Qiu Tu plans to take the benefits from the Third Sanctuary and then directly breach the agreement, acting as if this event never happened?"

Saying this, she felt a bit puzzled, "But... how would Qiu Tu breach the agreement?"

"His current strength is nearing the limit of the 'Edge Region.' He must leave the 'Northwest Region.'

"And once he leaves, how would he stop the Third Sanctuary?"

During those few minutes, Kou Xuan clearly thought of the corresponding possibilities already.

Therefore, he looked up and said expressionlessly, "What if he's confident he can return to the 'Northwestern Region'?"

"Return to the 'Northwestern Region'?! " Su Wanqing's expression froze, then her mind raced rapidly.

After a moment, she cautiously pointed out the flaws in this possibility, "If he returns to the 'Northwestern Region,' he can indeed breach the agreement, and no one would be his match."

"But... this would also mean his strength might not increase further."

Su Wanqing hesitated a bit, "I don't think Qiu Tu would make such a choice."

Kou Xuan nodded slightly in agreement, "I don't think he'd make such a choice either."

"Unless... the 'Isolation Mountain Range' collapses, the 'Edge Region' and the 'core area' merge, the Energy Level Area is unified, and suppressing the 'Northwest' is no different from staying in the 'core area.'

"Otherwise... he simply couldn't make such a choice."

Saying this, Kou Xuan shook his head slightly, "So, soon after this speculation was born, I dismissed it."

He continued, "Moreover... even if this speculation is true, Lin Xi's reaction doesn't add up."

Su Wanqing nodded slightly in agreement, "Indeed."

She analyzed, "If this speculation is true, then after receiving the commitment, Princess Xi should appear more relaxed, and her relationship with Qiu Tu should be more harmonious."

"But... based on intelligence reports, Princess Xi and Qiu Tu indeed seem to have fallen out."

"And Princess Xi's self-reflection during the meeting seemed like a subtle counterattack against Qiu Tu."

Kou Xuan nodded slightly, "Indeed. Princess Xi's reaction doesn't add up either."

"This is not the reaction of someone who received a commitment and knows they weren't betrayed."

He supported his hand on the table, saying, "Unless... what she received wasn't Qiu Tu's commitment, but someone else's."

"Someone mediated between her and Qiu Tu, making peace."

Su Wanqing shook her head, "Both of them represent one side of the power. Unless it's Commander Li Feng, no one else could have such a privilege."

Kou Xuan hesitated for a moment, wanting to say that for such mediation, it might not necessarily require someone like Commander Li Feng, the Master of Sanctuary.

Some people who have good relationships with Qiu Tu and Princess Xi could also mediate. For instance... those girls from the Eighth Sanctuary who once hosted Princess Xi.....

But considering the intelligence indicated that those girls, though having good relations with Princess Xi, had a poor relationship with Qiu Tu.

Moreover... intelligence also indicated those girls' abilities were quite average....

So, in the end, he swallowed his words and nodded slightly.

He did not continue the conversation along this topic, "Speaking of Li Feng."
