And closed the door.
Bang.
As the door shut.
Isolation fell again between inside and outside.
When Xiang Yi entered, Tang Language was slightly lifting her skirt, looking at her toes, seemingly pondering if her skirt was really too long.
Meanwhile, Zhou Jian and Igri Saba remained standing in their original positions.
When Igri Saba saw Xiang Yi, he immediately shifted his gaze from Tang Language to her, mockingly smiling, "A false alarm, was it? And then again, that old tune of trust me? Hahaha... How does it feel?"
Clearly.
The earlier dead silence.
Made him think it was just a false alarm outside.
After all, everything happened too quickly.
Xiang Yi slowly looked at Igri Saba; words that just now made her uncomfortable, even oppressive, suddenly turned into mere noise.
In that moment.
Xiang Yi even found Igri Saba somewhat... ridiculous.
"So this is the Celestial Strategy of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, huh? Putting aside everything else, at least there’s confidence aplenty; just not sure what the result of that confidence is? What would you predict Chen Lusi does when facing your country’s powerful Old Era High-level Empowerers, or the Roman Catholic Church?"
Igri Saba noticed Xiang Yi’s silence, feeling like he guessed correctly, laughed louder, continuing his taunts, "Or more precisely, how’s this going to end for you all? Xiang Yi of the Celestial Strategy?... Hahaha."
... Even more ridiculous.
The oppressive feeling of an impending storm, constantly looming over Xiang Yi, seemed to fade because of Igri Saba’s ridiculous demeanor.
Xiang Yi looked at Igri Saba, suddenly took a deep breath, then stepped forward, delivering a punch directly to his stomach.
Urgh—
The forceful punch was much heavier than the ones from Tang Language and Zhou Jian earlier.
Igri Saba’s entire face contorted in pain.
"Idiot."
Xiang Yi cursed, then signaled Zhou Jian to escort him to the courtroom.
Zhou Jian held Igri Saba, turned around directly.
Igri Saba, enduring the pain, tried to mock again but found himself too pained to laugh.
Yet despite that, he still turned his head to glance at Xiang Yi, forcing a mocking expression.
However.
Xiang Yi’s attention wasn’t on him,
She turned her head toward the exit.
At the same time.
Separated by a door.
Outside.
Chen Lusi watched as Xiang Yi and Tang Language left, and then turned back around, looking at those motionless old objects, standing silently.
Only one Celestial Strategy around him.
Tang Language and Xiang Yi, the two Celestial Strategies, had just shown themselves, then followed his instructions back into the court.
He stood there alone, as if saying — facing you useless lot, I am enough alone.
Seeing this scene.
It’s uncertain what the core members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion and Security Army felt.
But for the six behind Wu Mao.
Their only thought was... Xia Yue.
Indeed.
They seemingly saw Xia Yue standing there...
Just like Xia Yue!
Arrogant! Overbearing! Annoying!
Making one want to skin him and pull out his tendons, to smash that smiling face of his underfoot!
At this moment.
Confronting Chen Lusi, they felt exactly the same.
Except now, Chen Lusi showed no smile, only a calm disdain, as if he truly regarded them as garbage.
Initially, the group came.
To ensure no other Xia Yue appeared in the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
And to completely shatter the myth of the Third Squad’s Celestial Strategy.
But now, their arrival seemed more like fulfilling the myth of the Third Squad’s Celestial Strategy.
... Leave, get lost, go and enjoy your family bliss well, then lie down in bed and wait for death, you’re old now, don’t embarrass yourselves!
What audacity!!!
Came for applying pressure, but got pressured in return!? And left crestfallen!? Moreover, the opponent was alone!? Standing there alone!? Suggesting he’s ample by himself!? Displaying one-man defense against thousands!?
Are you kidding!!!
Thinking of this.
After the initial shock.
They looked at Chen Lusi, trembling slightly, the immense fury that was just interrupted, surged once again!
However.
They didn’t hurriedly take action, instead looked at the elderly man lingering at the back.
As they didn’t actually know what exactly Chen Lusi did just now.
In fact.
Even how Wu Mao was defeated, they haven’t discerned clearly.
This made them cautious.
The atmosphere was eerie.
Chen Lusi stood quietly at the court entrance, watching them, his right hand bloodstained, still holding Wu Mao’s stone.
And the core members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, all stared at him.
About five minutes later.
Finally.
Someone moved.
The elderly man, from among the six, who stood at the back, slowly came forward, then looked down at Wu Mao’s body, crouched down, and closed his eyes, softly saying, "Since when did serving the country warrant such an end, Chen Lusi of the Celestial Strategy?"
Chen Lusi didn’t speak.
He rarely spoke, whether facing acquaintances or enemies.
And what he wanted to say just now, he had already said it all — if you still wish to say or do anything, go ahead.
But bear the consequences yourself.
"Don’t want to answer?... If I’m not mistaken, Ji Xin and others are currently in Lucheng, right? Almost all the Celestial Strategies are in Lucheng, only you, Tang Language, and Xiang Yi are in the Imperial Capital, right?"
The old man didn’t mind the non-response, only stood up again, looking at Chen Lusi, "I don’t know what kind of strategic distribution plan got approved, but do you want to be a hero? New Third Squad Celestial Strategy, Mr. Chen Lusi?"
