How can there be such a strong superpower?

Taishan and Luoshan were stunned for a moment, then looked away together with embarrassed expressions.

"I once heard a very interesting term called 'scholar-barons'... It refers to people who use their power to control and monopolize the educational and academic worlds. Many of these people are highly respected scholars."

Xia Yue stared at Taishan and said seriously, "They were young people once, and they were also people who were determined to learn. But as they became successful and gained more resources, they changed.

They began to use their status to exclude dissidents, monopolize, and flatter each other.

I don't want you to become like this, especially you, Tarzan.

Having a soft personality is not a problem, and being a peacemaker is not a problem. I can accept both of those. In this complex circle of enablers in China, it might be a good thing to have someone who is a peacemaker. After all, if everyone in Tiance Mansion is like me, it would be more likely to cause big problems.

But this is the only thing I don’t accept… If such a day comes, I will personally dismantle the Tiance Mansion.”

Xia Yue said this very seriously.

And obviously... if he didn't care about the cost, he could do it.

"That was not what I meant."

Taishan was silent for a moment, then awkwardly explained, "It's just that there's never been a precedent for the Yellow Springs mainstream losing control of a city. You should understand how much of a shock this is to me. Furthermore... after losing the Yellow Springs mainstream, what will become of the city? Will it violate the laws of thought and start a night parade of demons? No one can predict."

He really had no intention of rejecting Chen Lusi.

It's more about caring too much and causing confusion.

After all, even a small piece of land outside the border line, within the scope of the Chamomile Alliance, still belongs to the mainstream of Huangquan, and the mainstream of Huangquan has not lost control.

He had indeed never encountered the situation in Jinling.

And not having encountered it means uncertainty.

In this situation, his first reaction was of course to ask Chen Lusi to return half of Jinling to the Huangquan mainstream.

As for not looking for Chen Lusi... it was because he had joined Tiance Mansion for too short a time, so short that Taishan didn't even have time to get to know him before he came to the fore.

This caused Tarzan to overlook some obvious facts.

Xia Yue replied directly, "Then get the parties involved and we'll do whatever Kunlun needs to do. If we can find a way to get Jing to return half of Jinling, that would be great. If not, then we'll see if we can take the cat away from Chen Lusi. If not, then let him keep it until we find a solution. Can Chen Lusi possibly kill Jing or even lose half of Jinling?"

Taishan hesitated a bit, "But there's the issue of safety. And if half of Jinling loses the protection of the Yellow Springs, something might happen..."

Ji Xin then spoke up, "Although half of the city has lost the protection of the Yellow Springs mainstream, there's no need to worry in the short term. Jinling is very clean after the demon slaying. It's almost impossible for a new legend to be activated in the next year or two. Regardless of whether that half of the city now belongs to the Jing, it's impossible for something like a Hundred Demons Night Parade to occur.

As for safety issues...isn't Tang Yu here? In her original form, she looks like a cat. It's fine to keep one, but let Chen Lusi keep two."

Snapped--

Tang Yu slammed the table, finally unable to hold back any longer. She gritted her teeth and said, "That's enough! What do you mean it doesn't matter if I'm here or not?! What do you mean I only have a brain the size of a fingernail?! And what gives you the right to compare me to a cat?! Isn't this just excluding those who are different?"

Say it.

She turned her head and looked at Xia Yue.

Xia Yue glanced at her and then immediately looked away: "Let's do it this way. I'll go find Chen Lusi later."

"Hey!" Tang Yu was anxious.

Xia Yue still ignored her, but looked at Ji Xin and finally brought up the matter of Taishan stepping down: "Ji Xin, how did you try to usurp the throne?"

"Because Tarzan can't."

Ji Xin turned his head and said expressionlessly, "I can do better than him. Of course, if you have any objections, just say it directly. If you want to fight, I'm here to accompany you."

"..."

Xia Yue looked at the girl with an indifferent expression, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "No."

Ji Xin frowned slightly and looked at Xia Yue.

"Hey!!!"

"Noisy!"

Ji Xin turned his head abruptly, looking at Tang Yu who was clapping his hands on the table as if to flip it over, and said impatiently, "Are you an idiot? Do you think that they are insulting you by asking you to reveal your true form and follow Chen Lusi? They believe in you. Now the 'Jing' beside Chen Lusi still has half of Jinling tied to it. Do you know what this means?"

This means that if the people who follow Chen Lusi want to switch to the "I" party, as long as they use the "scene" as a token of their allegiance, the goal that the "I" party has been striving for for nearly fifty years without achieving will immediately become within reach. At the same time, the "I" party will become a prominent force, and something that no one can accept will happen.

This kind of thing can only be assigned to the most trusted person, but you are simple-minded, not very smart, don't think much, and your mind is simple, innocent like a fool. If not you, who else can go?"

"……what?"

When Tang Yu heard Ji Xin's words, the anger on her pretty face froze.

Then, she raised her hand and gently brushed the hair at her temples, seeming a little embarrassed: "Is that so?"

Ji Xin was too lazy to pay attention to her and continued to look at Xia Yue.

She didn't quite understand Xia Yue's attitude.

Xia Yue noticed Ji Xin's gaze, but didn't pay much attention to it. He stood up and prepared to go find Chen Lusi.

Although I have heard a lot about Chen Lusi from others.

But Xia Yue still wanted to meet Chen Lusi.

There were some things he needed to confirm in person.

But he just stood up.

"No...! What do you mean I'm not very smart, I don't think much, my mind is simple, and I'm as innocent as a fool!?"

Tang Yu suddenly reacted, shook off her shyness, slammed the table again, and glared at Ji Xin: "Aren't you saying that I only have a brain the size of a fingernail?!"

Xia Yue glanced at her, smiled, and was about to leave.

Ji Xin took a deep breath, looked at Tang Yu again, and was about to speak.

dong dong——

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Xia Yue paused, and Ji Xin also looked towards the door.

Taishan and others also frowned.

At this time, ordinary members will not disturb them unless there is something urgent.

There were two knocks on the door.

Shan Li pushed open the door and walked in. After bowing slightly to express his apology, he went straight to Ji Xin, squatted down and whispered.

Ji Xin frowned slightly and listened quietly.

About two minutes later.

Shan Li straightened up again and stood beside Ji Xin.

While others turned their eyes to Ji Xin.

Ji Xin felt everyone's gaze and whispered, "Just now, the Ross Church of the Chamomile Alliance informed us that they will send someone to Tiance Mansion for 'exchange and learning' soon. They also want to meet with Chen Lusi in person to explain the misunderstanding a while ago. They hope that we can fulfill our responsibilities as allies and not refuse them."

"Huh? Exchange and study? What do they want to do?"

Hear this.

Taishan was stunned.

Tang Yu didn't even have time to be angry.

Not to mention Xia Yue, who didn't understand the details.

"Ostensibly, they came for 'Anna' that Chen Lusi brought back, and the Saint she carried on her back, but in reality, they were probably here for the Heavenly Punishment Weapon."

Ji Xin crossed her slender white fingers. "As an organization of enablers who have witnessed the power of the Heavenly Punishment Weapon firsthand, their interest in it is clearly greater than we imagined. They are no longer content to investigate from the outside and want to personally intervene."

Li Zheng reacted the fastest: "What are you thinking about? Just reject it!"

Ji Xin shook his head slightly: "The Ross Church did not inform us through the enabler channel. The negotiations have been completed."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then understood: "Then do we agree or not? Do we really want Chen Lusi to meet them?"

"They've brought up the idea of allyship. If we don't want to completely break off relations, we have to agree."

Ji Xin thought carefully and said, "As for whether or not to let Chen Lusi meet them... If they really came for the Heavenly Punishment Weapon, then it doesn't matter whether they meet Chen Lusi or not. Don't forget how our Heavenly Punishment Weapon was manufactured. I guess the senior members of your security forces also thought it was okay and agreed after careful consideration."

Li Zheng was still a little worried: "But..."

Ji Xin interrupted Li Zheng directly: "Of course, there is no need to agree directly. Let's see how their 'mission' is going first."

Li Zheng hesitated for a while and finally nodded.

"Also, there is one more thing..."

Ji Xin narrowed his eyes and continued, "The old bald donkey from Jiming Temple said he wanted to see me. He said he saw an extraordinary person. They have never trusted Tiance Mansion, and I don't know what their purpose is for suddenly wanting to meet with me."

“…It’s really a turbulent time.”

Before Taishan could recover, he heard the sound of Jiming Temple again. He was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his temples, feeling a little headache.

Everyone else fell silent, and Tang Yu stopped making a fuss.

And this time.

"So...what's going on with Anna and the Saints?"

Xia Yue's voice suddenly rang out.

The others looked up when they heard this.

Then, they didn’t know if it was an illusion... they seemed to see an expression of despair on Xia Yue’s face.

217. Chapter 217 Let me down!

217.

2023-11-12

"Are you stupid?"

in the hotel.

After a brief moment of shock.

Chen Lusi tilted his head back and looked at Xia Panqiu expressionlessly, completely confused as to why she suddenly became excited.

Following Chen Lusi's actions, Xia Panqiu also came back to his senses.

Perhaps it was because Chen Lusi had shrunk in size, but even though her face was flushed, she didn't retreat. Instead, she looked down at Chen Lusi and sighed softly, "You really haven't changed at all..."

"what?"

Chen Lusi asked as he leaned back.

"When I first mistook you for someone else, you used this expression to say things that didn't reveal any anger, but were very insightful."

Xia Panqiu frowned, as if recalling some bad memories.

"You can let me go and say things like that again."

Chen Lusi also remembered it after hearing this, but he didn't dwell on it too much.

During this period, he has thought less and less about the past.

He just reminded Xia Panqiu.

But Xia Panqiu was a little absent-minded and didn't react at all.

Faced with the embarrassing situation of Xia Panqiu dribbling the ball and bumping into someone, Chen Lusi had no choice but to remove Yunqi's authority.

And as the power and ability are lifted, the effect is immediate.

Chen Lusi's figure began to grow taller and his body shape began to change.

soon.

Xia Panqiu noticed that she could no longer hug Chen Lusi. She was slightly startled, then her fair face showed a look of surprise. She raised her head and looked at Chen Lusi's face.

Then, her body shape began to change.

The clothes on her body became visibly loose, her tall figure became petite again, and her turbulent breasts became flat, finally matching her cute face that looked a little young.

"..."

Chen Lusi looked at Xia Panqiu, who followed closely behind and used his power to compress him, and was silent for a moment: "What are you doing now?"
