How can there be such a strong superpower?

Xuanwu Lake Park presents a tranquil and charming scenery under the soft lights. The lake water ripples gently, as if a piece of dark blue silk is spread across the night sky. The willow trees on the shore sway in the breeze, casting faint shadows.

“What a beautiful view.”

Beside Xuanwu Lake, a young man with a narrow and high nose, a medium build, and short light brown hair looked at the scenery in front of him with some emotion.

Another old man with a prominent nose and deep eye sockets replied softly, "Indeed, it's a bit like the famous Jiangnan, but with a more majestic flavor."

The young man tilted his head slightly and suddenly smiled. "Exactly. The hospitality isn't very polite... It feels like someone's watching us. We're visiting as a diplomatic mission, after all. Is there any need to be so nervous?"

"Didn't you say it before? Everyone can see our purpose, including Tiance Mansion, of course. There's nothing strange about their actions. If it were you, you would do the same."

The old man shook his head and didn't care much: "The ones we need to worry about now are not them, but the Chen Lusi we will meet tomorrow."

"Don't you have a plan?"

The young man bent down, picked up a small stone, tossed it gently, and threw it into Xuanwu Lake. He replied, "Just do as you say. And you know, I've always felt that Chen Lusi isn't the key point at all. He might just be a puppet pushed to the front. What the Sikopuchi faction says is not credible, and there are many doubts... Our real opponent is Tiance Mansion, not Chen Lusi."

"Whether it is or not, we can't gamble."

The old man stretched out his withered arm, bent down, picked up a stone, and threw it into Xuanwu Lake. "If what the Scopuchi people said is true, then we must get the relevant information no matter what. You should also pay more attention. Don't just focus on Xia Yue. You are not qualified to challenge him yet. Pay more attention to your peers. Even if he is a puppet, he must know something."

"Not qualified..."

When the young man heard this, he thought of the tall man who left an indelible impression on him. He paused and continued, "Indeed, but I don't think any of my peers are worthy of challenging me."

Say it.

He bent down again, picked up a slightly larger stone, raised his arm and threw it out with force. Then he turned his head, looked at the old man, and said, "After all, I am not those idiots of the Skopchi faction. I am Ivan. No one of my peers is worthy of being compared with me!"

Ivan.

The name has many meanings, such as 'hospitable one', 'kind one', 'wise one' and 'terrible tsar'.

But the original meaning of this name is a gift from God.

And the young man next to him really deserves this name.

After all, he is top-notch in both ability and talent.

For that matter.

Another old man named Yevgeny knew it very well.

But as an old man who has lived for nearly seventy years, young people like Ivan... he has seen too much.

Each of them is gifted, each of them is proud and powerful.

But in the end, only a handful of people survived.

Sometimes being too proud or too talented is not a good thing.

"Don't get too complacent."

Thinking of this, Yevgeny couldn't help but say, "Even if it's a gift from God, there are places it can't reach. Haven't you seen Xia Yue?"

"He is Ivan here. He is the only one who can be compared with me. The only difference between him and me is age."

Ivan was silent for a moment, then replied, "Don't worry, Yevgeny, I'm not taking it lightly. I know exactly what I'm doing."

"I hope so."

Yevgeny glanced at Ivan's profile. Although he knew that Ivan's views had not yet changed, he said nothing more. He only said, "Don't disappoint the bishop, and don't disappoint the Patriarch of the Holy See."

Ivan was a little surprised when he heard this: "Patriarch? What does this have to do with the Patriarch?"

"Based on the bishop's attitude, I'm guessing... He's also aware of this matter, and thinks it's something he takes very seriously."

"Impossible! The pastor has been bedridden for years. Would he still pay attention to these things?"

"Whether it's true or not, we need to be prepared. You don't want to be blamed by the Patriarch, do you?"

"……Understood."

Ivan was silent for a moment, nodded, then turned to look at the lake in the distance where ripples were gently rippling, and curled his lips slightly.

You really dare to say that.

...The patriarch has moved out.

The Patriarch will rise up for the frigidity of a Scorpius and a puppet?

What a liar.

It's right to be cautious.

But this is too exaggerated.

Didn't I just say that no one my age could compare to me?

And wasn't what he said the truth?

Chen Lusi...

Okay, I'd like to see what's so special about him.

Maybe he was provoked.

Originally, Ivan was in a relatively calm state of mind. Even when he said that Chen Lusi was a puppet and that what the Scopuchi faction said was unreliable, he was only stating what he believed to be the facts.

But now, after Yevgeny had said all this, he really wanted to give Chen Lusi a warning tomorrow.

For nothing else.

Just to prove that I am right!

……

at the same time.

Chen Lusi didn't know that so many people cared about him.

He was looking up at the ceiling, debating whether or not to change his hairstyle.

Because the two sisters seemed to really treat him as a sister.

Of course, there is an easier solution besides cutting your hair...

"Chen Lusi, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Wan hugged Chen Lusi's waist with one hand, suddenly stood on tiptoe, stretched out her fair little hand and waved gently.

Chen Lusi came back to her senses and looked at the little hand behind which still held a hint of childishness. It looked very cute and had no aggression at all. She shook her head gently to dispel the unreasonable thoughts and replied, "Nothing, let me go. You sisters are in the bathroom. If you want to hold me, go to the bathroom. I'm going to get my hair cut tomorrow."

"do not."

When Lin Wan heard this, she immediately became anxious.

Chen Lusi was about to say something when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

He could only give up temporarily, hold down Lin Wan's little head, forcibly break away from her embrace, then sit down on the bed and look at his mobile phone.

...Ji Xin sent a message asking him to go to the Jinling Tiance Mansion branch around nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

[The Chamomile Alliance is most likely here for the Heavenly Punishment Weapon. If you don't know what to say, then don't say anything. Just stand there and I'll handle the rest.]

Chen Lusi looked at the message sent by Ji Xin, frowned slightly, and felt a little strange.

Nothing needs to be said.

Then what are you going to do?

Standing still? And hoping that this would intimidate the Chamomile Alliance? But is that even possible?

Think of this.

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Then what should I do there? What's the point?"

Ji Xin replied with a nonsensical reply: "If the other party can also see something, then it will be useful."

Chen Lusi had just finished reading it.

A new notification popped up.

Xia Yue also sent him a message.

[Tomorrow, I'll take you to the Jinling Tiance Mansion branch. I'll take you to meet the Dragon Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master. Also, take your cat with you.]

Chen Lusi: "..."

the other side.

Lin Wan noticed that Chen Lusi was looking at his phone, seemingly thinking about something. She didn't dare to disturb him anymore. She just came to the bed, climbed back onto the bed quietly, and walked around behind Chen Lusi.

Aren't people from the Chamomile Alliance coming tomorrow?

Chen Lusi felt her ponytail being gently pulled.

But because the movement was so light, he didn't pay much attention to it, and replied to Xia Yue.

Xia Yue's reply came quickly: "I know about this. We'll meet when the time comes. Although Zhang Xiufeng isn't a true Heavenly Master right now, he does have some experience. This is just in case."

【……good. 】

Chen Lu thought about it, replied to both of them with an "OK", then put down his phone, raised his right hand and looked at his palm.

tomorrow……

Let’s not talk about the Chamomile Alliance Mission for now.

The Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain...can he see anything when facing me?

Also...will the Taoist sect react to the Heavenly Master?

These are all questions.

To be honest, Chen Lusi was not prepared at all.

These two groups of people came too quickly.

However... Chen Lusi still wanted to meet the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.

After all, he was really interested in the legendary talismans.

...Let's take it one step at a time.

Think of this.

Chen Lusi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pick up the phone again when her hair was gently pulled again.

This time he noticed and turned around.

Lin Ying came out of the bathroom at some point and appeared behind him.

The two sisters were wearing cool clothes, curled up with a pair of slender and round white jade legs, and were kneeling on the bed, their postures were almost exactly the same.

"Twintails, they are twintails no matter how you look at them."

"Why don't you pierce it?"

"Sister, just tell me if you want to see it."

"..."

The moment Chen Lusi turned around, the two seemed to be discussing something.

When they noticed Chen Lusi looking at them, they immediately stopped and turned to look at him.

Chen Lusi looked at the two very similar, very friendly, and almost non-aggressive faces and was silent for a moment: "Who do you want to put a pigtail on?"

Lin Ying smiled softly and glanced at his ponytail.

Lin Wan raised her snow-white neck and looked around, from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, pretending not to hear.

"..."

Chen Lusi understood and stretched out his hands to pinch the two men's faces.

...a delicate and soft touch came.
