However, although Qiu Tu was quite interested in Princess Xi, he was also acutely aware that this kind of woman was extremely dangerous.
Be it her sensitive status or the man behind her, both were exceptionally perilous.
He had to proceed carefully and could not act too hastily.
Of course, if he wanted to take action, he needed to first establish the hierarchy between the two of them.
They could be allies, partners, or with Qiu Tu above and her below... but under no circumstances could she be above him.
After all, her status was too high. There was a two-rank gap between them, and once she took the dominant position, it would be nearly impossible for Qiu Tu to reclaim it.
Thus, after intimidating Princess Xi, Qiu Tu wisely retreated, returned to his chair, and said, "Princess, right now you are the one seeking my help, seeking cooperation with me."
"It's not me begging you."
"So I'd appreciate it if you could adjust your attitude."
