My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 606: Chapter 64: The New Celestial Strategy of the Third Squadron (Part 2)

It’s hard to say whether these people will have other thoughts after Xia Yue’s death.

And even setting that aside.

Simply considering personal emotions.

She didn’t want anything to happen to Chen Lusi.

"..."

The more Ji Xin thought about it, the more agitated she became, but then she gradually put her hands down, and her expression returned to calm.

Because she knew that no matter how agitated she was, it wouldn’t change anything.

After a simple venting.

She stopped doing those futile things... the most important thing now was to prepare a contingency plan.

No matter what happened over there...

Bang—

Just as the thought occurred.

The door was again roughly pushed open.

Shanli appeared at the door once more.

Ji Xin saw Shanli and was slightly taken aback: "... What’s wrong again?"

"It’s resolved."

Shanli took a deep breath, her impressive chest heaving, and said softly, "The storm above Peng City has disappeared... it’s completely gone."

Ji Xin gently clenched her hand resting on her thigh, "What happened?"

"Still unclear, but it is known that the situation is resolved."

Shanli shook her head, "Additionally, Si Yujie has responded."

Ji Xin slowly raised her head and looked at Shanli.

Shanli knew what she wanted to ask and said softly, "She said just now, the successor for the third squad’s Celestial Strategy has been chosen."

"..."

...

The next day.

Imperial Capital.

The atmosphere at the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters was somewhat oppressive.

The news of Xia Yue’s death, after spreading for a day and a night, was basically known to all members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

There were simply too many witnesses present at the time.

And Xia Yue... was too important to the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

This kind of news couldn’t be hidden, even though Ji Xin temporarily silenced a few internal groups, she didn’t prevent spreading or discussing the matter.

Of course, it couldn’t be prevented.

This matter had already caused a big stir in the black market.

Because the leading intelligence broker on the black market, who previously leaked information about the dispute between the Celestial Strategy Mansion and the Roman Catholic Church, did not make an appearance this time.

So, other brokers, who had been suppressed and filled with grievances for some time, started aggressively promoting the information they had, just to reclaim the top spot among brokers.

Recently, the broker with the ID ’Bing’ had become so famous, making it extremely difficult for them as their business plummeted.

And the death of Xia Yue, the strongest force of the Celestial Strategy Mansion... was undoubtedly an explosive, highly valuable, and highly discussable news.

Even if it didn’t make money, it was just for fame.

Those frontline brokers would still do their utmost to spread everything they knew.

Of course.

There might also be considerable... admiration involved.

After all, most frontline brokers were advanced empowerers, not weak in terms of power; if they were too weak, they couldn’t be brokers.

After all, they weren’t facing sheep.

And precisely because they were advanced empowerers, they clearly understood... what Xia Yue had done.

The Kunlun Pantheon was not the High Celestial Plain; brokers knew too well about the divine systems of different countries.

And Xia Yue dared to stand directly in the face of those patrolling gods, like a foolish brute... and even won in the end.

It’s really... extremely extremely extremely unbelievable.

In any case.

With the complex emotions among black market frontline brokers, continuously pushing the story further.

In just one night.

Most members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion knew the related news and had a general understanding of the process.

Their feelings were equally complex.

Within the Celestial Strategy Mansion, most members knew Xia Yue, and many regarded him as an idol.

Xia Yue’s popularity within the Celestial Strategy Mansion was indeed very high, so high that even Ji Xin feared that if Xia Yue returned, he might replace her in power struggles.

And even Si Yujie had never thought... that Xia Yue would die.

Not to mention the middle and lower-tier members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion... it’s conceivable how impactful his death was to them.

On one hand.

After learning about the entire process from the black market, they sincerely admired Xia Yue... one man stood against the entire Kunlun Pantheon... indeed, this was Xia Yue.

But on the other hand.

Such a powerful Xia Yue actually died... After the initial shock, the emotion of sadness quickly welled up in their hearts.

This led to their emotions becoming particularly complicated.

Shock, admiration, sadness... a series of intertwined emotions made the atmosphere at the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters particularly oppressive.

Especially when witnessing the Celestial Strategy leaders tasked with various districts, whom they might not see even once in a year or two, constantly appearing and hurriedly passing by.

As if repeatedly emphasizing a fact—Xia Yue really was dead, and something significant happened at the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

This made the atmosphere even more oppressive.

...Even when Tang Language passed by them, it didn’t ease this oppressive mood.

Because Tang Language walked slowly, her head hanging low, and she looked very downcast.

And on another side.

Tang Language didn’t even notice the changes in ordinary members’ emotions.

In truth, she still didn’t believe that Xia Yue was dead just like that.

She always felt that such a bastard wouldn’t die so easily.

But the facts were right in front of her... Her grandmother’s face changed upon hearing the news and told her that if worse comes to worst, she should quit the Celestial Strategy Mansion.

Saying that no one could guarantee her safety anymore.

All this forced her to believe... that Xia Yue was indeed dead.

Tang Language was a sentimental person, an emotional person, and when she couldn’t find evidence to prove Xia Yue wasn’t dead, whereas all evidence pointed to Xia Yue being dead.

Reason finally prevailed.

She finally felt it... and her mood became very downcast.

Emotionlessly riding the elevator upstairs.

Tang Language arrived at the top-tier conference room of the Celestial Strategy Mansion and then pushed the door open.

In the conference room.

There were already eight Celestial Strategies waiting.

Tang Language glanced around at the eight waiting Celestial Strategies... There were tall, short, fat, thin, men, women, old, and young, and faces she recognized and those she didn’t mixed together for a moment.

Some she had connections with, while others she had only met once or twice.

She withdrew her gaze, didn’t greet them, and just pulled out a chair, sitting down.

On another side.

The eight Celestial Strategies also noticed Tang Language.

However, most of the Celestial Strategies soon averted their gaze.

Tang Language was indeed quite popular within the Celestial Strategy Mansion, but that didn’t mean she had a wide network.

Ordinary members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion were willing to joke around with her, but that didn’t mean the mid-to-high level members appreciated her.

After all, she was really too unpredictable.

Most Celestial Strategies knew her, but few were willing to hang out with her.

Among the eight Celestial Strategies currently waiting.

Only one woman, whose face appeared elegant and gentle, approached Tang Language, stood before her, and called her name, "Tang Language."

Tang Language slowly lifted her head, looking at the woman in front of her dressed in a lady’s professional suit, wearing round-square glasses, and exuding a gentle and intellectual aura, she feebly said, "Xiang Yi."

"Why are your skirt hems dragging on the ground again."

The woman named Xiang Yi nodded her head, then pulled at her skirt that completely covered her long legs, helplessly saying, "Aren’t you afraid of it getting dirty?"

"..."

Tang Language didn’t speak, slightly lowering her head.

Xiang Yi looked at Tang Language, who suddenly lost her usual sparkle, remained silent for a moment, sighed, and gently patted her shoulder, "Regarding Xia Yue..."

But before she could finish.

On another side.

A loud voice suddenly interjected, "Why even choose a Celestial Strategy for the third squad!"

Xiang Yi paused in her speech and slowly turned to look in the direction the voice came from.

"Someone as strong as Xia Yue, who can take his place? I think we might as well disband the third squad! With Si Yujie in charge! Nothing will change for sure!

But from the start, I thought it was a mistake to let that girl with the authority of Yellow Springs Root Source go to school!

How could such a powerful empowerer be sent to school? Plus now, with Xia Yue gone, the only person who could ensure her safety is no longer, why not set things right?

Why do we still need to choose a Celestial Strategy to continue letting such an empowerer go to school?"

"And the Celestial Punishment Weapon, why is it only equipped for the Security Army? How does that seem appropriate? That third squad’s Chen Lu Si, I think should join that girl with the authority of Yellow Springs Root Source, becoming the joint property of the Celestial Strategy Mansion!"

"..."

Xiang Yi looked at Hu Shengping, who was speaking with righteousness, her delicate and beautifully sculpted melon-seed face expressionless, only her pretty eyes narrowing slightly behind her glasses.

Sure enough.

This meeting wasn’t that simple.

And Hu Shengping, that idiot... truly unable to change his ways, a sheer fool!
