My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 354 - 219: Spirit If You Believe

"Hmm?" Chen Lusi was somewhat confused.

"Nothing."

Xia Yue didn’t say anything reckless, but instead directly changed the topic: "I’ve heard about what you’ve been doing lately. To be honest, it’s really unexpected. Originally, I wanted to find you last night, but I was really afraid of hearing something that would make me incredulous again, so I didn’t go. Instead, I had a chat with Mount Tai.

Then I sorted things out a bit, and roughly understood everything that has happened during this time... So now, I want to ask you, Chen Lusi, are you disappointed with the Celestial Strategy Mansion?"

"... "

Upon hearing this question, Chen Lusi fell silent.

Disappointed?

To be honest, sometimes he was indeed quite disappointed.

Because it feels like the Celestial Strategy Mansion is useless, always lagging half a beat behind in everything. Every time it’s the Self that launches a heavy attack, while the Celestial Strategy Mansion dithers, only arriving at the scene when the dust has settled.

If that were all, it wouldn’t be so bad.

But there’s also internal strife.

Compared to Yan Kan’s betrayal, what happened in the Monkey Anomaly Realm is hardly worth mentioning.

But things improved a lot once Ji Xin took the stage later.

At least during the First Rider Position incident, nothing unexpected happened. Even without him present, without the Celestial Punishment Weapon, Yu Zhou and Mount Tai probably could have handled it in the end.

And the incident in Jinling this time.

Although it was again the Self that launched a heavy attack, while the Celestial Strategy Mansion was dithering.

But after Chen Lusi saw the history of the birth of the ’Illusion,’ he could understand why the Celestial Strategy Mansion was half a beat behind, and their response during the occurrence wasn’t really slow either, they no longer did nothing.

At least they tried their best to do what they could, although the ’Demon Slayer’ ultimately couldn’t destroy the dream of the Illusion.

But Chen Lusi could flip the entire Anomaly Realm, it’s hard to say it wasn’t related to the Demon Slayer.

So back to the previous question, are you disappointed with the Celestial Strategy Mansion?

It’s hard to say.

"Got it."

Xia Yue saw Chen Lusi’s expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking, smiled and said, "Then let’s put it aside for now."

Chen Lusi lifted his head: "Put what aside?"

"Letting you become the Celestial Strategy."

Xia Yue explained: "I think it’s quite feasible. Just as the Chamomile Alliance ’Mission’ is about to arrive, I plan to let you go meet them with a resounding name, and others have little objection to this.

However... once you take this position, it would mean taking on corresponding responsibilities.

You’re good at everything, but it seems you aren’t quite ready yet. Forcing this upon you might give you a resounding name but also cause you trouble. After all, the status elevation in this domestic Empowerer circle really isn’t a good thing, there are quite a few troublesome matters... Maybe the time will be right when you voluntarily say you want to take on the Celestial Strategy."

"Mm."

Chen Lusi agreed with a nod, and then said: "But, I guess that day won’t come. I have no interest in becoming the Celestial Strategy. I’m already facing so much trouble as a member, I can’t imagine what I’d face as the Celestial Strategy."

He really didn’t have the thought of becoming the Celestial Strategy.

Because it seemed like there were no benefits.

He had no interest in power either.

"That’s not necessarily the case."

Xia Yue smiled, then pointed to himself, and said, "You might even take over my position one day."

"Take over yours? Then what will you do?"

"What if I die?"

"..."

"Don’t doubt it, who knows when accidents might happen."

Xia Yue noticed Chen Lusi’s expression, pointed to the cat standing at his feet, and joked, "You heard the old monk say it was impossible to change the Illusion’s dream or bring the Illusion to reality, so what’s standing at your feet now? So nothing is really impossible."

"..."

Chen Lusi looked at Xia Yue, who came out unharmed after spending a month in the Yellow Springs Mainstream, and shook his head.

He didn’t want to discuss such meaningless things.

Although he still had only a vague understanding of the Yellow Springs Mainstream.

But he had a general idea.

What Xia Yue did was equivalent to messing around in the ’dignified old mother’s’ home for a whole month and still coming out unscathed.

He really couldn’t imagine what could lead to Xia Yue’s demise.
