My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 349 - 218: Really Useful

"Intimidation?"

When Wu You heard the monk’s words, he didn’t quite understand.

But the monk didn’t speak, still looking at Ji Xin.

He admitted, he lost his composure... After all, even if he practiced for decades more, he might not see a presence crash into his home.

The presence was originally a product of rituals from the Feudal Dynasty, in a certain sense symbolizing Imperial Authority.

This was a presence born here in Jinling... The last dynasty with its capital established in Jinling was the Ming Dynasty.

As for the authority of the Ming Dynasty, he understood it all too well. The Monk Record Office pressed them hard, directly established the Ming laws above temple regulations, completely arbitrary.

The presence’s aura largely followed the dynasty of its time.

Even if he didn’t know whether this presence belonged to the Ming Dynasty or not.

But regardless, facing it brings considerable pressure. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

If he were at its source, or in the west, he wouldn’t blink an eye facing it.

But domestically, it’s not about blinking; it’s about considering whether the presence will tear apart the home...

Besides.

This young man surnamed Chen was also quite odd.

Daoist Robe?

Isn’t this a provocation?

"Zen Master Huizhao."

Ji Xin sat in the wheelchair, the smile on her face long gone, calmly saying, "Weren’t you investigating a young man? How did I intimidate you?"

Really useful.

Dog.

"..."

Huizhao looked at Chen Lusi standing beside Ji Xin, then recollected the scene where Ji Xin summoned Chen Lusi, and Chen Lusi came over, falling into silence.

Investigate?

What’s there to investigate?

He sighed, then placed his palms together in a gesture of respect: "No need... Benefactor is far away yet close at hand."

Ji Xin showed no expression.

And behind her, Shan Li suddenly revealed an appropriately surprised expression, then asked, "Master, could it be you know Chen Lusi?"

Huizhao: "..."

He lightly shook his head, saying nothing more.

He truly understood now.

The Celestial Strategy Mansion was here to apply pressure.

On the other side.

Chen Lusi looked at Ji Xin, then at Shan Li, slightly furrowing his brow.

Is this playing a substitution attack?

"Zen Master Huizhao."

Seeing the monk with hair and beard all white not speaking, Ji Xin finally spoke again, though she didn’t continue applying pressure, but asked, "What did you see just now?"

She evidently observed more carefully than Chen Lusi.

That Little Monk earlier was clearly not quite right.

And when Zen Master Huizhao looked at Chen Lusi, his face also changed.

The extent of that change wasn’t simply due to the person he wanted to inquire about appearing before him.

It seemed more he saw something completely beyond imagination.

Zen Master Huizhao hesitated slightly, then suddenly smiled: "Does Ji Xin Celestial Strategy not know?"

Ji Xin deadpanned: "I know, so do you want to hold the cat? Chen Lusi, give the cat to the abbot for a hug! Let him see how heavy the cat is."

Upon hearing this.

Chen Lusi hadn’t moved yet.

Zen Master Huizhao moved first, directly stepping back a bit.

On the other side.

Wu You noticed this scene, personally witnessing the monk step back, silently keeping distance from the cat.

And Zen Master Huizhao no longer tangled in verbal disputes, for no matter what, Chen Lusi seemed to stand on the side of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

He smiled bitterly: "Ji Xin Celestial Strategy, just say it directly, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Cooperate with Kunlun."

Ji Xin raised her snowy chin: "I don’t need you to act at the command of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, nor is it necessary. But I need you to cooperate with Kunlun. I know you have a long history, many ancient texts, I hope you can become Kunlun’s advisor and contribute early warnings for activation of legends.

Of course, when necessary, you’ll also need to cooperate with our Celestial Strategy Mansion, serving as our advisors, like in this event."

She glanced down at the cat by Chen Lusi’s feet: "If you contacted me at the first instance, the result might have been different."

"...Understood."

Zen Master Huizhao paused momentarily, said nothing more, merely made a respectful gesture of agreement.

He had to agree.

Ji Xin deliberately glanced down at the cat, the implication obvious, if he didn’t agree, she’d let the cat stay here.

Honestly saying.

Zen Master Huizhao suddenly somewhat regretted inviting Ji Xin over.

...Unnecessary curiosity.

Ji Xin nodded upon hearing this: "Then that’s it."

Although her expression still didn’t change.

Shan Li could see she’s likely in a good mood.

After all, finally discovering the other party came looking for her, aiming just to find someone, searching for her people... This allowed her taking full control, achieving her consistently aimed goal, truly worthy of happiness.

Indeed useful.

Shan Li glanced at Chen Lusi.

And Chen Lusi watched all along, finally realizing he seemed to have become a tool.

"..."

Chen Lusi sighed, accepting there’s nothing to do about it, opting not to dwell, instead directly speaking to the white-haired-beard monk: "Hello."

"..."

Zen Master Huizhao turned around, looking at Chen Lusi, who reverted to normal in his eyes, no longer clad in Daoist Robe, pondering briefly: "Benefactor, we meet again."

Chen Lusi thanked: "Thank you in the Anomaly Realm."

"It should be this humble monk thanking you."

Zen Master Huizhao carefully observed Chen Lusi, seeing he wasn’t teasing, but genuinely expressing gratitude, then shook his head, made a respectful gesture to Chen Lusi: "If it weren’t for you, I’d probably be meeting the Tathagata now."

"Actually, I wish to inquire about something."

Upon hearing, Chen Lusi stopped exchanging compliments, glanced at Ji Xin, then made a request: "About the presence."
