My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 153 - 142: The Chosen Candidate

The next day.

After discussing with Mount Tai, Li Zheng brought people from Kunlun to Peng City overnight.

Si Yujie had just sent the little girl to school and was wandering into Celestial Strategy Trading when she encountered the travel-worn group of Li Zheng and others.

She still recognized Li Zheng.

Because he often followed Xia Yue, and during peak activation times, his figure could always be seen rushing around helping out with emergencies.

"...Old Li."

Si Yujie squinted slightly at Li Zheng, proactively asking, "Did it succeed? Whose Authority Ability?"

"Li Ge’s ’Guangying’."

Li Zheng raised his hand and gently clenched his fist, "Isn’t that what it’s called?"

"That’s right, are you getting used to it?"

Si Yujie nodded and continued inquiring.

She was really curious... After the transfer of the Authority Ability, does it remain the same?

"Haven’t tried it yet."

Li Zheng replied sheepishly, "We’re all outsiders, and time was too tight. We rushed to Peng City right after the transfer, and although we’ve got the system’s training plan... many of us couldn’t quite grasp it, and that’s why I’m here to find you."

"Finding me?"

Si Yujie slightly frowned, puzzled.

"We need a teacher."

Li Zheng explained, "Yesterday, I spoke with Mount Tai. He said that at the moment of successful Authority transfer last night, all the high-level Authority Ability holders could sense it, and that Celestial Strategy might fall into chaos soon. So, it’s not suitable for just anyone to teach us.

Even if he trusts us, we represent a new formidable force. It’s not just about Incense and Candle Affection... With the abundance of various ancient objects now, we don’t understand much, so he needs someone he can trust to be our teacher."

Li Zheng was very candid.

But he specifically mentioned Incense and Candle Affection, making it clear that teaching us didn’t mean he expected any allegiance.

Si Yujie understood, "So you want us to teach?"

"Yes." Li Zheng nodded.

"..."

Si Yujie fell silent, gazing at Li Zheng and the crowd behind him.

This crowd couldn’t be underestimated now; they were akin to a new Lige Brigade.

Most importantly, they weren’t ordinary people; they were all part of the Security Army.

Even if Li Zheng was clear-headed, saying he wouldn’t consider any Incense and Candle Affection was impossible.

After all, he was human.

But Mount Tai handed them over to the Third Brigade... If the rest of Celestial Strategy Mansion wasn’t trustworthy, wouldn’t his own people be?

What is he up to?

Si Yujie couldn’t figure it out... and didn’t intend to.

After all, she’s just a receptionist; this matter is better left to Xia Yue.

Thinking of this.

Si Yujie asked, "Currently, only a few members are left in the Third Brigade. Mount Tai sent you over; who does he want to teach you?"

"Chen Lusi."

Li Zheng hesitated for a moment before replying, "I’m aware of the Peng City incident a while back, and I know about the Monkey Anomaly Realm. He is trustworthy."

"..."

Si Yujie was taken aback, instinctively responding, "He’s also a newbie... He’s been with Celestial Strategy Mansion for barely a month, and he’s not currently in the Third Brigade."

"I also have some doubts."

Li Zheng pondered and replied, "But the person Mount Tai recommended is Chen Lusi. He says there’s no other choice... How about you teach?"

"Me?"

Si Yujie lightly shook her head, "I can’t leave Celestial Strategy Trading long-term. How about I ask Xia Panqiu and Wu You..."

As she said this

Si Yujie suddenly paused, glancing inside Celestial Strategy Trading: "Those two won’t do either... In that case, Chen Lusi really is the only option."

Currently, she couldn’t be sure if Shu Li’s people were completely clean.

So, it’s better not to let them know about Li Zheng and his group’s existence.

And since she couldn’t leave to Gourd, and couldn’t leave Celestial Strategy Trading for long.

The only remaining choice seemed to be Chen Lusi.

Although Chen Lusi hasn’t been with Celestial Strategy Mansion long, Xia Panqiu and Wu You have made rapid progress lately.

And this Spirit Ball... For these ’novices’ like Li Zheng, it was simply a powerful weapon!

More importantly, letting Chen Lusi get acquainted with these people was definitely not a bad thing.

After all, not everyone could just become an instructor for the Security Army.

Si Yujie thought of this and stopped hesitating: "You should go find Chen Lusi, but I can’t guarantee if he’ll agree. You can ask for his opinion; he’s currently in Jiangchang City."

"...Alright."

Though Li Zheng didn’t understand why Si Yujie’s attitude made an about-face, he still nodded, "I’ll head out now."

"Okay."

Si Yujie nodded.

But after saying he’d depart, Li Zheng didn’t move, still standing there with a hesitant look on his face.

Si Yujie glanced at him, "Is there something else?"

Li Zheng was somewhat embarrassed, but finally asked honestly, "In your Empowerer cultivation and technique practice... there’s no risk of going wrong, right? It’s not that I don’t trust Chen Lusi, but he’s only joined Celestial Strategy Mansion recently. As someone with experience, there’s nothing you’ve left unsaid, right?"

"..."

Si Yujie, recalling Chen Lusi’s practice methods.

He’d swallow Spirit Balls outright.

He could almost replicate techniques after seeing them once.

He’d only practiced close combat with Xia Panqiu for two weeks, but could spar with her equally.

Anything left unsaid?

Si Yujie came back to her senses and laughed, "Nothing, don’t worry. There’s very little chance of anything going wrong... but whether he’s fit to teach, I can’t say."

Li Zheng: "..."

In the end.

Li Zheng still left.

Although he was still a bit hesitant, he wasn’t in a position to say much since he needed help.

And though he hadn’t witnessed it himself... he heard that Chen Lusi was quite capable and could even use Xia Yue’s ’Fury.’

There shouldn’t be a problem.

Si Yujie watched Li Zheng and the others leave, then turned around and poured herself a glass of hot water, feeling a bit hesitant.

She didn’t know whether she should tell Chen Lusi.

But before she could make up her mind.

The sound of footsteps could be heard.

Si Yujie picked up her cup and glanced at Xia Panqiu and Shu Li who walked into Celestial Strategy Trading one after the other.

"Panqiu, Panqiu, let’s go find Chen Lusi!"

"No."

Shu Li, following behind Xia Panqiu, once again brought up finding Chen Lusi.

But Xia Panqiu didn’t show her a good face and firmly refused.

Si Yujie had seen this scene countless times over the past two days.

She didn’t know what was going on either.

In short, Shu Li seemed to have latched onto Xia Panqiu.

"Good morning."

The two paused at the front desk and greeted Si Yujie.

Si Yujie nodded, then shifted her gaze from them to the twenty-some people following behind Shu Li.

...Members of the Self?

Wu You had already been investigating for two days, but still had made no progress.

He was starting to doubt the authenticity of the matter.

Si Yujie herself also had some doubts.

The current situation.

Either there were no members of the Self among the people Shu Li brought.

Or the others were hiding very well... just waiting to slip up.

Perhaps... they really should be sent on a task?

Si Yujie quietly observed everyone until Shu Li and the others completely disappeared from view, then she withdrew her gaze.

Then, after thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Chen Lusi.

About Li Zheng, she thought it was necessary to inform Chen Lusi in advance.

...

The phone rang.

Chen Lusi woke up groggily, yawning, and sat up from the chair, glancing at his phone.

[A person named Li Zheng will visit you later, he’s from the Security Army, and he wants you to teach them cultivation and techniques.]

Chen Lusi looked at the message from Si Yujie and fell silent.

He understood every word in the message, but he didn’t quite understand them together.

Li Zheng was the one who took him to the airport, heard about the Monkey Anomaly Realm incident, got furious, and went to settle accounts with Mount Tai and the others, right?

Isn’t he an ordinary person? What does he want to learn techniques for?

And even if he could learn... am I the one to teach?

I’m still in a phase where I need to be taught, aren’t I?

In any case, there were plenty of things to complain about.

For the moment, Chen Lusi didn’t know how to respond, so he planned not to, and decided to see what happens when the person arrives.

He put down the phone, then lifted the thin blanket on him, stood up from the chair, and stretched his waist.

Despite being called an ergonomic chair, it wasn’t very comfortable to sleep on.

As for why he didn’t sleep in the bed...

Chen Lusi turned around.

On the bed.

Lin Wan was hugging a pillow, sleeping peacefully.

Though she said she came to play games, after blowing her hair dry, the little girl got sleepy, and while talking, she suddenly fell asleep.

Chen Lusi didn’t have the heart to wake her up.

After all, he understood that the pressure of senior high school was no small thing...

And her parents weren’t around, and her only sister was out of town, having no one to confide in.

She moved to the school dormitory and kept insisting on coming back with Chen Lusi, probably because of loneliness.

Under such circumstances, Chen Lusi really couldn’t bear to send her back.

So he just made do with sleeping on the chair...

Seeing Lin Wan hold the pillow like an octopus, Chen Lusi thought for a moment, then lowered the air conditioning temperature, and was about to cover her with the blanket from his chair.

But just as he leaned down.

Lin Wan turned to the side and suddenly opened her eyes, her clean and clear almond eyes stared directly at him.

Chen Lusi paused his movement, then stood up straight, "Awake?"

"Brother-in-law, why didn’t you sleep in the bed?"

Lin Wan asked softly, "I trust you."

"Get up if you’re awake, I’ll take you back."

Chen Lusi didn’t answer, yawning, "You should be reviewing, right? It’s almost exam time, I’ll call you for dinner tonight."

"But, brother-in-law..."

Lin Wan looked at the yawning Chen Lusi, crawled out of bed but stopped halfway through speaking.

Because a piece of intimate clothing fell off.

"..."

Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, immediately hid it under the blanket, then slowly looked up at Chen Lusi, her face flushed red.

Chen Lusi was expressionless, "Alright, don’t hide. I saw the message you sent your sister yesterday. If it doesn’t fit, don’t force it... go change into yesterday’s, then go home and change into something suitable. I know you’re just like your sister."

"..."

Lin Wan quickly jumped off the bed, her face red, and ran into the bathroom barefooted.

Chen Lusi shook his head.

Ten minutes later.

Lin Wan changed back into yesterday’s clothes, but her face was still red, too embarrassed to speak.

Chen Lusi didn’t say anything, took her out for breakfast, and then sent her home.

As for himself, he didn’t go upstairs but returned directly.

Si Yujie’s recent message was quite intriguing.

He planned to meet Li Zheng later.
