It's because... these past few days, no one has come to inquire about Qiu Tu's intel on "Muye."
Then, where exactly did "that esteemed one" get the information from?
Evidently... it was after Qiu Tu reported to Elder Tang, and then Elder Tang relayed it to them.
What's even more interesting is that Princess Xi only came into contact with Qiu Tu last night, and Kou Yu only had his first face-to-face conversation with Qiu Tu today.
Before this, Qiu Tu did have brief interactions with the two of them, but... Qiu Tu didn't think that those few minutes of interaction would be enough for them to form any conclusions about him.
On the contrary... before the "Envoy Group" even arrived in Eastern City, Elder Tang had already come to the city and discussed reception arrangements with Qiu Tu.
Qiu Tu had even once stayed by Old Pang's side, commanding, and relaying orders of all kinds. (Chapter 489)
