My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 424 - 243: Heading to the Imperial Capital, the Disappeared Students (Part 2)

They had just left.

Chen Lu Si used the Shrinking Earth Talisman to transfer with four people, it was too conspicuous. As Ji Xin put it, it was like they were about to stick the words "I have a Talisman" on their faces.

Adding on Ivan and Yevgeny from the Chamomile Alliance traveling together as well...

So, to keep a low profile, she requested that the group take regular transportation to the Imperial Capital.

And Chen Lu Si thought it over and had no objections.

"To be honest, I never expected to see something like this in my lifetime."

Upon hearing Chen Lu Si’s words, Wu You did not respond but said softly, "The leaders of the Four Great Daoist Mountains all thanking a member of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, and making such a significant promise, that’s the largest native religion in the country. Rounding up, it’s equivalent to the Church Pope owing you a favor..."

"If you could reach the level of Chen Lu Si, you could also have the Pope owe you a favor."

On the other side.

Xia Panqiu gently touched the talisman in her jeans pocket, then glanced at Wu You.

During this time, she had figured out exactly what Chen Lu Si had done.

When she learned that Chen Lu Si could grant people like her the ability to draw a talisman and make it effective.

She immediately realized that Daoism had been thoroughly tied to the war chariot of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

And Chen Lu Si, after the birth of the Celestial Punishment Weapon, became the liaison between the Celestial Strategy Mansion and the Security Army, and now between the largest native religion and the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

And this... was something even Xia Yue hadn’t accomplished.

"Then forget it."

Wu You touched his nose after hearing Xia Panqiu’s words: "Let’s just wait for Chen Lu Si to cover us."

With that said.

He took a step forward, hooked his arm around Chen Lu Si’s neck, and led him out while speaking earnestly, "Lu Si... If you can direct the Summoning Talisman towards you, remember to draw one for me too."

He already knew why Chen Lu Si was heading to the Imperial Capital this time.

Chen Lu Si glanced at him: "What do you need it for?"

Wu You was a little surprised: "What do I need it for? Aren’t you altering the Summoning Talisman for people like me who are useless? Like calling you to save my life or something."

"No, you’re quite capable."

Chen Lu Si shook his head: "It’s for Lin Ying and Lin Wan."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Panqiu paused, but quickly recovered, acting as if she hadn’t heard anything.

"Seems I misunderstood."

Wu You noticed Xia Panqiu’s reaction and casually replied, then lightly swayed Chen Lu Si, suddenly speaking mysteriously, "Chen Lu Si, do you think Panqiu is like your Lin Wan or Lin Ying?"

"..."

Chen Lu Si furrowed his brow slightly and turned his head: "What does this have to do with Xia Panqiu?"

Wu You was about to answer.

"Wu You, if you want to die, just say it."

Xia Panqiu’s voice came from behind.

She clenched her fists tightly, and if Wu You had not hooked his arm around Chen Lu Si’s neck, she might have made a move.

Wu You froze, adapting quickly, and immediately changed the topic.

The three of them went downstairs together, then temporarily parted ways.

Chen Lu Si went to pick up the two sisters, while the other two headed to the airport first.

Watching Chen Lu Si depart.

Wu You pulled back a little, then looked at Xia Panqiu, who still had her fist clenched by his side: "Panqiu..."

"What?"

Xia Panqiu glared at him with annoyance.

Wu You smiled cheekily: "What exactly are you thinking? When you asked me to bring the rope out, you weren’t like this."

He was referring to the time within the Chamomile Alliance territory, when Chen Lu Si was pulled into the Anomaly Realm, and Xia Panqiu punched him for the rope.

"None of your business."

Xia Panqiu shook her head, then looked at him, saying softly, "Also, let me give you a piece of advice, Chen Lu Si is very easygoing, he probably won’t mind what you say, but the premise is, it doesn’t involve Lin Ying and Lin Wan, when it comes to matters concerning those two you’d best say nothing, because they mean a great deal to Chen Lu Si..."

Having said that.

She paused, looking towards where Chen Lu Si had left, continuing: "Very important."

A gentle breeze suddenly blew by.

Lifting her short and sleek hair slightly.

Xia Panqiu looked into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Got it."

Wu You watched Xia Panqiu for a while, then nodded lightly: "Since even you as his teammate said so... but don’t be too sad."

Xia Panqiu pursed her smooth red lips, not saying a word.

...

At the same time.

Jiming Temple.

Medicine Buddha Pagoda.

Xia Yue and Zen Master Huizhao stood side by side, gazing at the distant skyscrapers.

"Xia Yue Celestial Strategy... what brings you here this time?"

Zen Master Huizhao glanced at the expressionless Xia Yue and asked.

"Celestial Punishment Weapon."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yue didn’t turn back and continued gazing at the distance: "I advise you not to get involved, not only should you stay out, but also advise other ancient temples to have no other thoughts. The Self can hide in the shadows, those old things at most die out with their path disappearing, but you are different, you have a lineage.

You can escape as monks but not the monastery, don’t joke around with the foundation left by your ancestors, one or two less tourist attractions in the country make no difference."

"Understood."

Zen Master Huizhao smiled: "I’ll make contact, but as for what other abbots think, I can’t guarantee. I can only guarantee that Jiming Temple won’t get involved... Actually, even if you hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have done anything, because Patron Chen is my benefactor.

Moreover, Patron Chen corresponds to Venerable Arhat Kasyapa, indicating he’s very wise and has affinities with Buddhism, how could I bear to do anything against him."

Xia Yue tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Are you afraid of the scenery around Chen Lu Si?"

Zen Master Huizhao, hearing this, appeared helpless: "Is this how I appear in Xia Yue Celestial Strategy’s eyes?"
