The Truth About the Phantom!

La Riluo suddenly felt that something was off.

The turn in Qiu Tu's topic just now had been smooth and logical.

After all, judging by the timing, that trial really should have come in the past couple of days. It happened to coincide with the time Whale Shark was killed.

So, after killing Whale Shark, it was perfectly reasonable for Qiu Tu to suddenly notice an anomaly and assume it had been caused by Whale Shark's death.

But precisely because it was too reasonable, La Riluo sensed that something was wrong.

Over the past few months, she had suffered far more losses at Qiu Tu's hands than the number of meals she had eaten.

It had been one bite after another. There had been no end to it.

So, she did not dare treat a single word Qiu Tu said as ordinary small talk, afraid that one moment of carelessness would result in him selling her out.

Thinking of this, perhaps because her thoughts had finally fallen into place.

For a moment, La Riluo felt as though her mind had become crystal clear.

She carefully sorted through the logic:

Ever since Qiu Tu became a Fourth-Order Calamity Descendant, he had not contacted her for two days.

And the last time he contacted her had also been because he wanted to advance safely within Zhao Ji's area.

Before that, whenever he had no use for her, Qiu Tu would go several days without contacting her.

Therefore, based on this pattern, La Riluo could keenly infer Qiu Tu's mindset: as he became an Area Master and his strength continued to grow, her standing in his heart was steadily declining.

So unless Qiu Tu needed something from her and wanted to obtain information from her, he would not think of her at all.
