I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 42 -

42: 42.

Just wish all the power to return to oneself.

42: 42.

Just wish all the power to return to oneself.

Xiao Cha stepped forward to open the door and was stunned on the spot, “Lord Chief Constable…

what brings you here!”

“I’ve had a friendship with your father for decades; naturally, I had to come and see you make your breakthrough.”

A man of extraordinary presence walked in, exuding authority without anger.

It was Chief Chen.

He wore a light smile and exclaimed admiringly, “Impressive!

To think you managed to Refine Internal Organs before the age of 18, truly worthy of being Old Luo’s daughter!”

“It was just a stroke of luck, not worthy of your praise, sir.”

Xiao Cha bowed respectfully and gestured for her future superior to come inside and take a seat.

This man’s position was the equivalent of the head of Jinmen Police Station District Bureau.

Wanqing, aware of his significance, quickly brewed a cup of tea and brought it over.

A flicker of emotion crossed Chief Chen’s face, and he inwardly marveled at the stunning beauty in this ordinary place.

He glanced at Lu Li, vaguely understanding why a Cultivator would choose to stay here.

However, Chief Chen didn’t rush to say anything to Lu Li next.

He took a “Rolex” watch from his pocket and pushed it towards Xiao Cha, “You were too modest last time.

As an old colleague of your father’s, how can I not bear some responsibility?”

Xiao Cha hastily refused, “This was a gift for you, sir.

I cannot take it back…”

Chief Chen, clearly of a higher Cultivation, easily pushed it back and spoke kindly,

“I’ve watched you grow up.

You’re one of our own from the Patrol Bureau.

I’m going to entrust you with a heavy responsibility.

Please take it back now.”

Xiao Cha could not persist in her refusal and accepted the watch, while also saying, “I shall bravely undertake my duties and alleviate your worries, sir.”

“You needn’t be so formal outside of the government office,” Chief Chen replied with a light chuckle, obviously in a good mood.

The girl before him was the daughter of his old subordinate, a trusted family member.

Not only was he gaining a strong right-hand person, but there was also an unexpected bonus!

Chief Chen turned to Lu Li and began, “So this must be Young Master Lu.

Such a young one achieving Refining Spirit Meditation, truly awe-inspiring!”

“You flatter me, sir,”

Lu Li, imitating Xiao Cha, clasped his fist and bowed in respect.

At this moment, Lu Li wasn’t feeling very comfortable because Chief Chen was radiating…

a pressure.

It felt like being a child visiting the zoo, observing an elephant up close!

Soon after, Chief Chen casually broached a subject, “I’ve heard you come from overseas?”

“I come from Moxico.”

“The children of Shen Zhou have crossed the vast ocean and spread their branches wide…”

Chief Chen nodded and probed further,

“I am quite curious, sir.

How does a family like Young Master Lu’s make a living overseas?”

Both girls perked up their ears at this question.

Lu Li truthfully replied, “As expatriates, people from all walks of life can be found.

Most don’t lead satisfactory lives.”

This was within expectations, but what Chief Chen really wanted was to investigate Lu Li’s background.

He took a sip of tea, adopting a ‘waiting to hear the good news’ demeanor.

Lu Li continued, “As for my family…

we run a silver mine.”

“Pff…

cough cough.” Chief Chen choked on his tea, quickly covering up his reaction with talk, “Silver, a silver mine?!”

Lu Li said earnestly, “Moxico is rich in silver reserves.

A single silver mine is no big deal.”

He had the confidence to say this because Moxico led Blue Star in silver production and obtaining it wasn’t difficult.

Chief Chen, however, was struck dumb, unable to bring up his recruitment offer.

The other party owned a mine!

What kind of offer could you possibly make?

This was exactly Lu Li’s intention.

He only desired to gain strength for himself and had no interest in joining any organization or system.

Mundane affairs would only waste his time to become stronger.

Furthermore, should he truly desire something, once he had the power, countless people like today would naturally come to him.

Just as the atmosphere was turning a bit tense, Chief Chen frowned and looked towards the courtyard gate.

The next second, the door was forcefully knocked, and a deep, warm voice resounded:

“Xiao Cha is there, right?

It’s Old Jin~”

~~~~~~~~~~

The small medical clinic was particularly lively today, as Jin Chaofeng from the National Martial Arts Association paid a visit.

His position was equivalent to the vice president of a national chain bank’s “Jinmen Branch.”

At this moment, upon seeing Chief Chen, Jin Chaofeng feigned enthusiasm, “Yo~ Chen Zhizhong, you’re here too, what a coincidence.”

Chief Chen, Chen Zhizhong, looked solemn and quite displeased, “Jin Dayou, what are you doing here!”

There’s an order to these things.

Why are you showing up before I’ve even left?

With a friendly smile, Jin Dayou said, “I heard about Xiao Cha’s breakthrough and I rushed over~”

He took out a box of Calming Incense and a bottle of Qi Blood Pills and placed them on the table.

The gifts were far too generous, clearly indicating ulterior motives.

Chief Constable mused: It seems the National Martial Arts Association is determined to support their own cultivators.

But if they own mines, what could you do?

Lord Chief Constable was secretly hoping to see Jin Dayou make a fool of himself.

Jin Dayou bowed respectfully and said, “Xiao Cha, congratulations on your breakthrough.

Since you often visit the National Martial Arts Association, you must be aware of our current predicament.

So, I’ll speak plainly.”

Jin Dayou looked amiable but acted decisively, speaking directly to Lu Li:

“Young Master Lu, the National Martial Arts Association is in desperate need of talent.

Should you agree to join, there will be an annual salary of 1,000 silver coins, a sufficient supply of Calming Incense, and monthly guidance by a master of the Fetal Breathing Realm.”

Such generous terms made everyone’s breathing grow heavier.

Especially the last condition; it wasn’t something money alone could secure, and Chief Constable wasn’t sure whether Lu Li would be tempted.

Xiao Cha and Wanqing were almost wishing Lu Li would agree right away!

But Lu Li knew there was no such thing as a free lunch and calmly asked, “What would I need to do?”

Jin Dayou replied with a smile, “Nothing much, you would just need to relocate to the capital.”

Upon hearing this, the two girls’ complexions changed, instinctively not wanting Lu Li to leave.

Wanqing clasped her sleeves tightly while Xiao Cha seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

To Lu Li, moving to the bustling capital could be favorable…

At that moment, even Chief Constable thought Lu Li would accept the offer.

But Lu Li asked, “Wouldn’t it be possible for me not to go to the capital?”

Jin Dayou was slightly taken aback and shook his head, “We can discuss anything else, but this one matter is somewhat inconvenient…”

“Then let’s forget it,” Lu Li said with a clasped fist.

“Thank you for your high regard, but I do not wish to leave here.”

After a glance at the two girls, Jin Dayou said gravely, “The path of cultivation should be pursued with vigor and resolve; one must not indulge in romantic entanglements…”

“Hey, hey, hey, what they have is sincerity and loyalty!” Chief Constable spoke up:

“Besides, how could I let you lure away one of Jinmen’s finest in front of me!”

“If that’s the case…” Jin Dayou looked at Lu Li’s steadfast expression, quickly realizing that there wasn’t much hope left today.

He promptly bowed and said, “The mountains remain unchanged, the rivers flow forever; the doors of the National Martial Arts Association will always be open to you, Young Master.

Farewell!”

With those words, he left straight away, without any hesitation.

“Merchants prioritize profit over farewells, eh?

Luckily, Young Master Lu isn’t that kind of person.”

Chief Constable was in a good mood; after all, nobody dislikes a person who values relationships, particularly someone who is friendly towards one’s own side.

~~~~~~~~~~~

After chatting for a while about the customs of foreign lands, Chief Constable excused himself.

Before leaving, he turned to Xiao Cha with heartfelt words:

“Young Master Lu is an outstanding figure from overseas.

Take good care of him, and don’t forget your manners.”

Xiao Cha’s face turned red inexplicably, and she said, “I understand.”

After bidding Chief Constable farewell, the three returned to the courtyard, where Xiao Cha asked, “With such great conditions, why didn’t you accept the invitation from the National Martial Arts Association?”

By then, a new moon had appeared in the sky, its light hazy, mingling with the chirping of insects.

Lu Li swung his arms, smiling, “I’ve gotten used to living here, and I don’t want to go anywhere else.”

Wanqing smiled softly, and Xiao Cha lifted her chin proudly, saying in a cute voice:

“Then you’ve made the right choice.

I’ll give you a treat tomorrow~”
