My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 413 - 240: Someone Will Always Step Forward

The five didn’t chat for long.

Because the two sisters, Wu You, and Xia Panqiu were not very familiar with each other, the link that connected them was Chen Lusi.

In this situation.

Both parties had reservations... or more accurately, Wu You and Xia Panqiu had reservations.

The two sisters were actually fine; as long as Chen Lusi was present, they weren’t afraid of anything.

But Wu You and Xia Panqiu had quite a few concerns, although their concerns were not quite the same...

So, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, they all headed to the Celestial Strategy Mansion branch.

The journey was silent.

And as Chen Lusi arrived at the Celestial Strategy Mansion branch, just as he entered the door, he encountered Shan Li.

She seemed to be specifically waiting for Chen Lusi.

"What’s up?"

Chen Lusi walked up to Shan Li and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Ji Xin Celestial Strategy wants you to go to the top-floor office."

Shan Li stepped aside to make way, and then continued, "Xia Yue Celestial Strategy is also there, apparently it’s urgent. Let the Daoists wait for a while... As for your family, rest assured, I’ll accompany them."

"Alright."

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment and nodded. Although he didn’t know what it was about, he agreed.

He greeted both sisters and Wu You and Xia Panqiu, and then left first.

Shan Li watched Chen Lusi leave, then came to Lin Ying’s side and asked, "Are you going out today?"

"No need."

Lin Ying shook her head, "If you have something to do, just go ahead, I’ll just wander around."

"Oh."

Shan Li nodded, neither refusing nor leaving.

"Is there something else?"

Lin Ying glanced at the tall woman in front of her.

"...Ji Xin Celestial Strategy asked me to ask you."

Shan Li paused for a moment, then said with a stern face, "Does he like it?"

Referring to the swimsuits the two sisters wore yesterday, she had given suggestions.

Lin Ying: "..."

At the same time.

Chen Lusi took the elevator to the top floor. As he approached the office, where he had spent half a day before, he heard voices from inside, though he hadn’t yet entered.

"Really possible, huh."

"You’ve said that three times already."

"No matter how many times, any regular person, seeing someone like you, who has nothing to do with Daoism, can draw talismans that work, would be surprised... By the way, can you draw other talismans?"

"No."

"You can’t?"

"It’s not that I can’t, I tried drawing other talismans yesterday, but with no effect. I just asked those Daoists, and they said only talismans drawn on talisman paper by Chen Lusi work.

They also tried to draw old talismans, but there was no effect. Even if it was drawn by Chen Lusi, it might not work unless it followed his simplified version."

"Oh, so all the Daoist lineage is on one person."

"Once I could draw effective talismans, this was already confirmed."

"...I see."

"I know what you’re thinking, Xia Yue, but this isn’t something humans can change. Whether it’s the Celestial Punishment weapon or the Daoist lineage being on one person, all are creations by Chen Lusi. If anyone now thinks that possessing these makes someone guilty, it’s pure insanity."

"You think I’m that kind of person? And when did I say Chen Lusi was guilty of possessing these?"

"Then it must be someone else."

"It’s improbable that the old heads of the Security Army are that petty. Moreover, isn’t this the change they’ve been pursuing all along? They might hesitate, but they would definitely be more happy than worried, especially with me around. However... Chen Lusi is bound to become a thorn in some people’s eyes."

"For example?"

"Self. The news about talismans hasn’t spread yet. Once it does, what do you think will happen?"

"..."

Arriving at the door, Chen Lusi heard their conversation but didn’t think too much of it, just knocked on the door, and walked right in.

Xia Yue was sitting on the desk, while Ji Xin sat in a wheelchair.

Upon hearing the knock, both turned their heads.

Chen Lusi looked at them and asked, "Is there something up?"

"Those Daoists brought back a message today,"

Xia Yue smiled and got straight to the point, "Someone is conveying news about the Celestial Punishment weapon to them and specifically mentioned you."

Chen Lusi was slightly startled, then asked, "Self?"

"Didn’t you say you met a high-ranking Self member in the Dream?"

"Yes."

"That’s most probably the case... Clearly, the other party isn’t dead and was scared by that round of bombardment from the Security Army and now wants to form a united front to eliminate you as a problem first."

Xia Yue curled the corners of his mouth, "Those old guys probably already know, and the Celestial Punishment weapon already exposed in the Chamomile Alliance. If our ’ally’ finally determines they can’t get anything valuable, they’ll likely be very willing to cause us trouble.

And the Security Army can’t keep it under wraps for long. Once its power is confirmed, they’ll start considering how to use the Celestial Punishment weapon to deter miscreants, so the Celestial Punishment weapon won’t remain a secret for long."

"And once people see the power of the Celestial Punishment weapon, a lot will probably lose rationality."

Ji Xin took over from Xia Yue, lifting his head, "An organization as complex and inconsistent in strength as Celestial Strategy Mansion is different from a Security Army with strict discipline and powerful firepower, capable of effective damage to mid-to-high-tier Empowerers.

Once the Security Army starts using the Celestial Punishment weapon on a large scale, you will immediately replace Xia Yue and become the primary target for the Old Era remnants and Self."

"And that’s not even considering the talismans."

Xia Yue continued, "If we add the talismans... Once they find out that you not only helped Daoism retrieve its lineage but also allowed talismans to be used by an outsider like Ji Xin, I expect the entire Empowerer circle to erupt.
