Chapter 631: Chapter 73: The Gathering Storm (Part 3)
"But what if it fails? Are you going to put all the blame on him?"
"..."
Ji Xin looked at the idiot waving his arms in front of him, took a deep breath, silently repeated not to get angry a few times, and coldly said, "Get out of the way."
"No! Tell me first! Is that what you think."
Tang Language glared at Ji Xin, put her hands on her hips, and puffed out her chest: "I know you’re very cunning, suddenly deciding to prosecute the Holy Coffin Knight of the Roman Catholic Church right after the news of Chen Lusi’s action spread, you must have a motive. And the whole group is already arguing about it, I’ve seen it!"
Ji Xin took another deep breath and said, "... Get out of the way, this matter has nothing to do with you, just follow orders when the time comes."
Tang Language still refused: "No way! I finally found someone who can help me stay in the Celestial Strategy Mansion, you can’t harm Chen Lusi!! Even if we don’t talk about that! He’s also my friend! Tell me first! Are you trying to harm him?"
Ji Xin was too lazy to deal with her, glanced at Shanli.
Shanli raised his hand and directly activated his Authority Ability.
Tang Language suddenly froze in place.
Shanli shook his head and pushed Ji Xin to leave.
Seeing Ji Xin about to leave, Tang Language panicked: "Wait! Ji Xin... don’t go! You’re burning bridges! Heartless! You’ll never get married!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xin took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, just about to turn his head.
"What are you doing?"
Embers flying in the air.
Chen Lusi suddenly landed and appeared in front of them.
Seeing Chen Lusi, Ji Xin instantly calmed down.
And Tang Language, having just escaped from the frosty freeze caused by Shanli’s Qing Nu Authority Ability, saw Chen Lusi, her beautiful eyes suddenly brightened, just about to speak.
But Ji Xin looked at Chen Lusi and asked first, "Is your business done?"
Chen Lusi nodded and then asked, "Has the news been released?"
Ji Xin nodded slightly: "Yes, but because you acted at the time and happened to be seen by ordinary members, the news got out, so the subsequent news about the prosecution being released caused many ordinary members to misunderstand, thinking I mistook you for Xia Yue and forcibly pushed for the prosecution."
"... Let’s not worry about it now, we’ll talk later."
Chen Lusi considered for a moment and shook his head: "The most important thing now is to let the prosecution proceed. If Lan’s perception is correct, we might not have much time left.
Kunlun really only has one activated deity left, and it’s an external god, which makes the problem even more serious, doesn’t it?"
"Yes, I think so too."
"..."
On the side.
Tang Language, who was about to speak, heard their conversation, looked at Ji Xin, then at Chen Lusi, and roughly understood what happened. She immediately shrank her neck, somewhat stiffly moved to the side, and hid like a quail.
"I need to inform you of one thing, not all Celestial Strategy will stay in the Imperial Capital, because it’s uncertain whether the Roman Catholic Church will invade again, creating chaos on two fronts, so about half of Celestial Strategy will need to station at the border, just in case."
Ji Xin paused, looked at Chen Lusi’s sharp face: "Will you be okay by then?"
"I’ll be fine."
Chen Lusi said calmly: "Trust me."
"... Alright, I trust you."
Ji Xin looked at Chen Lusi’s face for a moment, nodded gently: "I will draw all the core members from the southern squad to assist you. I will inform you of who will stay in the Imperial Capital and who will go to the border line to station."
"Alright."
Chen Lusi responded, then suddenly said: "I want to see the Holy Coffin Knight."
"... Take Tang Language with you."
Ji Xin did not oppose, just slightly turned her head, glanced at Tang Language, who resembled a quail: "Otherwise, she’ll have nothing to do and will scold me again for burning bridges, being heartless, and never getting married."
After speaking.
She turned and left without hesitation.
Chen Lusi watched Ji Xin leave, then looked at Tang Language.
Tang Language noticed Chen Lusi’s gaze, blinked her clear and pure eyes, seemingly untainted by knowledge: "So... what exactly happened?"
...
Ten minutes later.
In the underground floors of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
Inside the Holy Relic ’Endless Room’.
"Ha! The Kunlun Pantheon might have an external deity mixed in!? And possibly the only currently active deity! Isn’t that super bad!?"
Tang Language widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief, raising her voice sharply, then realized: "Wait... so you were in such a hurry to prosecute that Holy Coffin Knight because it related to the Roman Catholic Church!?"
"Yes."
Chen Lusi nodded, then stopped walking, patiently waiting for Tang Language to process.
Because he didn’t know which room the Holy Coffin Knight was in.
"I see..."
Tang Language was shocked for a while, finally calming down gradually.
Then, she seemed a bit down, slowly lowering her head.
"What’s wrong with you?" Chen Lusi saw her like this and asked.
"Grandma said it right, I seem indeed not very smart, not suited to be a part of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, I just thought..."
Tang Language abruptly stopped, her white face with a hint of charm full of gloom, looking at her chest, as if her tail suddenly drooped down: "I even scolded Ji Xin just now..."
"It’s okay."
Looking at her expression, Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Everyone has things they are not good at. Although you’re not very smart, when things get serious, I appreciate your character.
As for whether you’re suited for Celestial Strategy, I’m not sure, but I meant what I said in the meeting room not long ago."
"Really!?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Language suddenly raised her head to Chen Lusi, like her tail went up again... Her gloom was quick to come and go.
Chen Lusi was just about to respond.
But suddenly, a faint fluctuation came.
He frowned, realizing something, suddenly raised his left arm, and gripped forward vigorously.
Snap—
Tang Language was startled, shrank her neck... her tail drooped again.
Chen Lusi couldn’t worry about Tang Language right now, he acted as if holding something, directly skirted around Tang Language, and quickly headed towards a certain room.
Seeing the serious expression on Chen Lusi’s face, Tang Language was stunned for a moment, then quickly gathered her scattered thoughts and followed closely.
Chen Lusi approached a room, directly kicked the door open with force.
Bang—
Inside the room.
Holy Coffin Knight—Black Sun, Igri Saba was sitting on a chair.
Chen Lusi followed the line he held in his hand to look over.
Indeed.
...The other end of the line was right above Igri Saba’s head.
When Chen Lusi appeared at the door, Igri Saba also slowly raised his head.
He looked at Chen Lusi, then slowly grinned at him, revealing rows of pale teeth: "The storm is coming."
...
Meanwhile.
"... Have I been discovered?"
After Hecate could no longer sense Igri Saba, she chuckled softly, not caring, merely sighed a bit.
Then.
She waved her hand, dispersing her Authority Ability, stretched lazily, then looked in the direction of the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters, muttering to herself: "The storm is coming."
