"..."
Ji Xin stared carefully at Chen Lusi for a while after hearing this, then suddenly asked, "Do you know why I didn’t forcefully push the prosecution issue just now?"
Chen Lusi slightly furrowed her brow, "Why?"
"Because the whole process, as long as the Celestial Strategy Mansion shows even a hint of fatigue, even stepping back one step, what awaits us will be a storm."
Ji Xin stated calmly, "Now that Xia Yue’s influence still lingers, those people, no matter how impatient, will have some scruples. In the short term, no one will be foolish enough to stick their neck out.
But once, if something goes wrong with the prosecution, even a small concession will make everyone think... that after Xia Yue’s death, the Celestial Strategy Mansion is nothing but paper, including the topmost levels.
And I don’t know what the Roman Catholic Church will do in the face of this... so I dare not guarantee that I won’t step back even a step, dare not guarantee that I will hold firm to the end.
All the Celestial Strategy you just saw did not put my mind at ease, I lack confidence.
So I dare not forcibly push forward, this is the reason."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi was silent for a while, then walked directly in front of her... and reached out his hand towards her.
Ji Xin glanced at Chen Lusi’s hand, then lifted her snow-white chin slightly, looked at his face, and hesitantly placed her small hand into Chen Lusi’s palm.
Chen Lusi gently grasped her hand then said calmly, "Then trust me, Ji Xin, let me help you be strong."
...
At the same time.
Hecate started descending the mountain.
She was in a good mood, humming a song all the way down.
Even.
When she was halfway down and saw a horse-faced man blocking her way, the smile on her face didn’t fade, as if she wasn’t surprised at all.
"Fulfill your promise."
The horse-faced man looked at the tall Hecate in front of him with some wariness, but mostly... desire.
"Promise?"
Hecate slowly halted, listening to these words, she chuckled lightly, then said, "Oh right, I almost forgot, there’s been so much going on these past two days..."
As she spoke, she slowly lifted her hand, bending her five fingers as if grasping something, and gently pulled downward.
... A Jade Seal, continuously exuding faint yellow threads of air, appeared out of thin air.
Upon seeing the Jade Seal, the horse-faced man’s breathing visibly grew heavier.
Hecate saw his appearance and smiled again, then lightly lifted her hand, tossing the Jade Seal up and down.
The horse-faced man’s gaze followed the tossing Jade Seal, moving constantly, and finally, unable to hold back, stepped forward, "Give it to me!"
"Wait, aren’t you curious? After what happened over in Kunlun, about my state?"
Hecate suddenly bent her fingers, clutching the Jade Seal, with a hint of a smile, said, "Such a big incident happened? And you’re only concerned about the Jade Seal? If you want it that much, why don’t we make another deal?"
"I don’t care, give me the Jade Seal!"
The horse-faced man stepped forward again, his face somewhat ferocious, "And don’t mention any more deals! The deal is already done! Now give it to me right away! Or I’ll go destroy the altar immediately?"
"Oh."
Hecate nodded upon hearing this, then directly threw the Jade Seal towards the horse-faced man.
The horse-faced man’s breath hitched, and he reached out immediately.
Pop—
The Jade Seal successfully fell into his arms.
Hecate gently clapped her hands, then said, "Then you can leave now, the deal is done... I thought you might be interested in my proposal, where I help you hold up the Celestial Strategy Mansion’s advanced combat power, you go to Peng City to grab that little girl and pair her with the Jade Seal to completely recreate a Yellow Springs or something like that."
"After all, just having the Jade Seal alone is useless, the Feudal Dynasty is gone."
"But you don’t seem interested, so forget it."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the horse-faced man tightly clutched the Jade Seal and suddenly lifted his head.
