He knew that the man was definitely one of Bibei's confidants, and that he held a higher position in Bibei's heart than Zhou Yi.
This startled him, as the laws of the soul, like the laws of cause and effect he cultivated, were known for their profound mysteries.
He understood the intricacies of the situation perfectly well. Although his behavior in the main hall was not wrong, who knew if the woman who cultivated the laws of the soul could see through his actions!
Zhou Qi calmed down and thought about his next move. He would first deal with the banquet that evening, and then focus on recovering from his injuries. It would be much easier to deduce things once his cultivation level had improved!
In the evening, in a huge palace, there was a plaque with the character "δΈ€" (one) written on it, indicating that it was Monday's residence.
When Zhou Qi arrived, the place was already packed with distinguished guests. As one of the kings, it was perfectly normal for him to make his final appearance!
After all, the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal is no joke; their status, position, and strength can overwhelm everyone present!
Upon seeing Zhou Qi enter the hall, everyone stood up and said, "We greet Your Majesty!"
Zhou Qi acted like a superior, ignoring them completely, and went straight to sit down in the first seat on the left before speaking.
"Please sit down."
"yes."
The dignified woman on the main seat was the woman beside the evil god Bibei.
Where was there even a trace of allure left in her at this moment?
Her dignified attire exuded an air of elegance.
"The Seven Kings have returned from a long journey, and I heard they even saved my husband. I am hosting a banquet to welcome them."
Zhou Qi turned to look at the woman in the main seat and said calmly, "Fairy Chi Feiwan, you flatter me. I work for the Evil God and always put his will first. I dare not claim any credit."
Though he said this, his heart was already filled with turmoil. If he wasn't mistaken, the woman in front of him was the one who cultivated the laws of the soul.
If it weren't for his great advancement in the law of cause and effect, and the fact that the law of cause and effect is the supreme law, he would not have been able to discover Chi Feiwan's true colors!
Chi Feiwan is outwardly a Taiyi Golden Immortal, specializing in the Yin-Yang Laws. She frequently appears in the mortal realm to enlighten sentient beings. As Zhou Yi's first wife, she often helps Zhou Yi manage the affairs of his power and is a well-known virtuous and capable wife.
Those in high positions all know that Chi Feiwan also controls the Zhouwan Chamber of Commerce, which spans the entire Evil God World. It can be said that if she utters a single word, the entire Evil God World will tremble.
Moreover, it is rumored that she has a group of subordinates at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level. No one knows exactly what they are doing, but in short, the title of the number one person below the king is fully embodied in her!
Everyone thought that such a person rose to prominence because of Zhou Yi, but Zhou Qi now sees that this is not the case at all.
As far as he knew, although he had been with Bibi for a long time on Monday, he had only served as a guard in the early stages and had not taken charge of any faction.
Since Chi Feiwan married Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi has risen rapidly and become Bi Bei's confidant.
Zhou Qi has now figured everything out. Chi Feiwan is the true confidante of the Evil God, and her control over the Zhou Wan Chamber of Commerce means she has a firm grasp on the movements of the entire Evil God world.
If one is not close to the evil god, how could one wield such immense power?
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi became even more cautious.
"Fairy Chi Feiwan is very busy and would not have invited me unless absolutely necessary. If you have something to say, please let me know."
His words were neither humble nor arrogant, and there was nothing wrong with them.
Chi Feiwan's eyes lit up as she stared intently at Zhou Qi, as if trying to see through his heart.
"The Seventh King is free-spirited and known for his wisdom among the nine kings. Why don't you tell us how you rescued my husband and broaden our horizons?"
Zhou Qi's mind sank slightly. He could clearly sense Chi Feiwan's suspicion. A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, and her intuition is often very accurate, especially for Chi Feiwan, who specializes in the laws of the soul!
"Please forgive me, fairy, but this matter involves confidential information and I cannot disclose it."
Seeing that Zhou Qi handled the situation with ease and without leaving any flaws, Chi Feiwan said, "I heard that Your Highness's injuries are quite serious. I have a hibiscus plant here that can help Your Highness recover quickly. Your Highness saved my husband, so this precious medicine is a token of my gratitude. Please accept it to express my appreciation."
Zhou Qi said calmly, "Thank you very much, Fairy Chi Feiwan."
Zhou Qi accepted the gift without hesitation and then said, "If there's nothing else, Fairy, I'll take my leave now."
Chi Feiwan tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Seventh Prince, you're in such a hurry. Have I failed to provide adequate hospitality?"
Zhou Qi said coldly, "The fairy has treated me very well, but the evil god has been very kind to me. I need to recover from my injuries as soon as possible to repay the evil god. I dare not delay for even a moment."
Chi Feiwan said softly, "I have a favor to ask of the Seventh Prince. Would the Seventh Prince please stay a little longer?"
"Fairy, please speak frankly. I will help if I can, and I'm sure you know my difficulties if I can't."
"Since the Seventh Prince is so straightforward, then I will speak frankly. I would like to ask the Seventh Prince to help me manage the Zhouwan Chamber of Commerce for a period of time. I just don't know what the Seventh Prince thinks?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
Given the immense power of Zhou Wan's Chamber of Commerce, it's astonishing that Chi Feiwan was willing to use it.
However, Zhou Qi's method of causal deduction was extraordinary. Although he could not directly deduce that it was not too late, he was known for his wisdom and, with the help of the method of causality, he quickly figured out her purpose.
"Does the fairy have something to attend to and need to go out? Does she require me to oversee the Zhouwan Chamber of Commerce?"
Chi Feiwan smiled and said, "This matter cannot be discussed. Please make it clear whether the Seventh Prince agrees or not."
Zhou Qi's mind raced with a thousand thoughts, and he smiled and said, "Fairy, please don't be offended. I, Zhou Qi, am a rough man. I can fight with others, but it would be too much for me to manage such a large force. Even if I were willing, the Evil God needs me at any time, so I cannot agree."
Chi Feiwan had a plan, and replied, "Seventh King's worries are unnecessary. If Lord Evil God has any arrangements for Seventh King, Seventh King can leave at any time."
Ignoring the envious looks from the crowd, Zhou Qi readily agreed, "Then I am relieved. I will come after my injuries have healed. If I fail to manage the Chamber of Commerce well, you may let me leave."
Without waiting for Chi Feiwan to speak, he slipped away.
Chi Feiwan watched Zhou Qi leave, a cunning glint in her eyes.
After Zhou Qi left, he immediately used a secret method to report all these matters to Meng Fan.
Meng Fan's reply was only three words: "We'll see!"
Zhou Qi was also a clever person, and he quickly understood the meaning of the three words.
The first point is that Meng Fan doesn't care about any conspiracies or tricks at all; he just laughs at the world. Or rather, he, Chi Feiwan, and even the evil god are just tools for Meng Fan to amuse himself.
The second one is more important. Meng Fan wants to see his abilities. If he can achieve his goal through his own wisdom, then Zhou Qi's position in Meng Fan's heart will undoubtedly gain more weight.
Zhou Qi returned to his secret room to meditate and recover from his injuries. He took off the landscape hibiscus that Chi Feiwan had given him without hesitation to help him recover quickly.
He wasn't afraid of Chi Feiwan plotting against him; his life was entirely in the hands of the evil god, and Chi Feiwan had no reason to do so.
