Chen Lusi: "Travel far?"
"Well, a long journey."
Xia Yue nodded, then said softly, "At that time, we need a role that can stabilize the sea. Taishan can actually take on this role, but his character is indeed too soft. If he gets ruthless, he might be able to intimidate outsiders, but it's unlikely to be enough.
The most important thing is that he can't solve the internal problems. It's okay when I'm around, but I guess he will be fooled when I'm not around.
Ji Xin could deal with him in minutes. As for people like Yu Zhou and Tang Yu, they were okay at being funny and acting as thugs, but they were worse in other aspects.
As for the Tian Ce who are further away and near the border, they are in even worse shape. They might be able to defeat Ji Xin, but they are not sure they can defeat Ji Xin. If they are allowed to play the role of the stabilizing force, they will probably start a war with all the nearby countries in a few days. "
"So after thinking about it, it seems that you are the only one left. You may not realize yet what kind of energy you can unleash."
"Xiaoxiao and her daughter both like you very much. Judging from her personality, she'd probably be more willing to follow you than me. And the security forces are even better. Although I haven't tried the Heavenly Punishment Weapon yet, judging by how much Li Zheng admires you, as long as it doesn't cross the red line, he should be very willing to listen to you.
Add to this the attitude Zhang Xiufeng just showed, if you truly complete that talisman without a head, I think the entire Taoist sect... or at least Longhu Mountain, will be very willing to cooperate with you."
"Ji Xin can't do such a thing."
"..."
Chen Lusi was silent for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly said, "You should know that I joined Tiance Mansion just to make money. Although my purpose changed later... it was only to protect some people. I really don't have any ambitions."
"I originally chose to join Tiance Mansion just for fun."
Xia Yue smiled and said, "But I can understand. It depends on your choice when the time comes. In fact, I am also very curious about your choice when the time comes."
"You seem quite certain that you will go on a long journey?"
Chen Lusi heard something and asked curiously.
"..."
Xia Yue was silent for a moment, and instead of answering directly, he asked, "Do you know the origin of Huangquan?"
Chen Lusi asked uncertainly, "You've only said it once?"
“You can go and see it if you have a chance.”
Xia Yue patted his shoulder and said, "Many answers can be found there... Of course, the premise is that you need to take certain risks."
"..."
Chen Lusi shook his head helplessly: "Why would I go to Huangquan if I have nothing to do?"
"Who knows."
Xia Yue shrugged and continued, "Try the talisman Zhang Xiufeng gave you when you have time. It would be fun if it works... They're probably about to come out. Remember to think about what I said. I'll be gone for a while. See you later."
Say it.
He waved his hand and turned away.
Chen Lusi watched him leave. Although he realized that he was trying to change the subject in the end, he did not ask any more questions.
Because it was really not his turn to care about Xia Yue.
Although... he was indeed quite interested in the long journey that Xia Yue mentioned.
"...Why did you come out?"
at the same time.
The conference room door was pushed open again.
Zhang Xiufeng walked out, looking a little dazed.
Obviously.
Just now he didn't even know that Chen Lusi had left.
Chen Lusi replied, "Come out and get some fresh air."
Zhang Xiufeng nodded, then asked, "Have you tried the talisman?"
Chen Lusi shook his head: "Not yet."
"Then please keep this cinnabar. Please be sure to try it."
Zhang Xiufeng pulled out a small bag of cinnabar from somewhere and handed it to Chen Lusi. "I've just been thinking about it carefully and feel it's necessary to gather fellow practitioners to discuss this. I'll be back tomorrow, and please let me know the results then."
After saying that, after Chen Lusi took the cinnabar, he immediately took out another talisman and raised it gently.
In Chen Lusi's sight, Zhang Xiufeng instantly retreated, collapsed and became smaller, then turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared before his eyes.
"..."
Chen Lusi held a small bag of cinnabar and looked at the empty space in front of him with an interested expression.
Is this the Shukuchi Talisman?
But what did he mean by calling on fellow believers?
Chen Lusi hasn't figured it out yet.
The conference room door was pushed open again.
Shan Li pushed Ji Xin out.
Chen Lusi put away the cinnabar and looked at the two of them.
Ji Xin raised her snow-white chin slightly, suddenly looked at Chen Lusi, and asked, "Is it annoying?"
Chen Lusi was a little confused: "What?"
"I just exaggerated."
Ji Xin said calmly, "At the same time, we are secretly trying to drag Taoism into this."
"..."
Chen Lusi fell silent...I have to say, women are really sensitive.
Ji Xin held the armrest of the wheelchair and waited patiently for the answer.
"I wouldn't say I'm annoying. I'm just not used to that kind of situation. That's your job. I don't think it's my turn to give orders."
Chen Lusi shook his head and replied, "You don't have to care about my opinion."
"Oh."
Ji Xin nodded, then slowly let go of the wheelchair armrest and asked, "What did Xia Yue say to you just now?"
Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Nothing."
Ji Xin asked: "...Did I tell you my real name?"
Chen Lusi: "..."
"It's really annoying."
Ji Xin raised his hand and bit his fingers lightly, seeming a little impatient.
"Isn't the name Chu Xin a good one?"
Chen Lusi looked at the girl who was biting her fingers and gradually becoming a little irritable. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "There's no need to laugh at yourself because of your physical defects."
Ji Xin paused, then raised her snow-white chin again, looked at Chen Lusi, and said expressionlessly, "Shouldn't I laugh at you?"
Chen Lusi asked back, "...Do you know how I escaped from Jing's dream? Putting aside the parts I haven't figured out yet."
"..."
When Ji Xin heard this, she was slightly startled, and then asked: "Why?"
"A sentence I see occasionally."
Chen Lusi replied, "Walking in a rainstorm, an umbrella is like a boat rowing upside down in the sky. That's why I thought of the reversed world."
Ji Xin was slightly startled, then whispered, "Walking in a rainstorm, an umbrella is like a boat rowing upside down in the sky..."
"And I also saw a sentence that I think is very appropriate for you."
Chen Lusi continued, "When humans lose their sight, they also conquer the sun... and when you lose the ability to walk, you can understand it as conquering the earth."
Ji Xin paused, then looked at Chen Lusi silently.
"The prototype of these two sentences, the former, comes from the poem 'Sunflower' in 'Leaves of Grass'. I don't know the latter, but do you know where I saw these two sentences?"
"...Where is it?"
"Retarded."
"..."
"So don't be too hard on yourself. You're doing fine the way you are. If you can recover, that's great. If not, just accept it. I think you look pretty good as a sickly girl, and I don't find it strange at all."
Chen Lusi shook his head, said one last word, and then said goodbye and left.
"..."
Ji Xin looked at Chen Lusi's back, with his hands on his slender and round legs, not knowing what he was thinking.
It wasn't until Chen Lusi's figure disappeared that he came back to his senses. He tilted his head slightly and suddenly said, "Did I forget to tell him about the next arrangements?"
"Yes, but I can inform him for you later."
"...So do you think I conquered the earth?"
Shan Li was silent for a moment, then shook his head gently: "No."
Ji Xin paused, then said: "...Why is your EQ so low?"
"I just don't want to lie."
Shan Li replied calmly: "However, there is one thing I agree with."
"What."
"...If you can recover, that would be great. If not, then just accept it. I think you look pretty good as a sickly girl, and I don't think there's anything strange about it."
Shan Li said softly, "Because he said it sincerely, and this is the first time I've heard someone speak of you like that."
"……Oh."
Ji Xin was silent for a moment, then gently pinched her long and round legs again and responded, but her voice couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry.
……
After Chen Lusi left the meeting room, he began to look for the two sisters.
Whether it is Xia Yue, Ji Xin, or Zhang Xiufeng, no matter what they want to do, it has nothing to do with Chen Lusi for the time being.
Now he just needs to do his job and the things he is interested in.
He really didn't lie just now, he really doesn't have much ambition.
As for what he will be needed for next...let's wait until they have decided.
It was actually not difficult to find the two sisters. After all, not long had passed. Chen Lusi took a quick walk around and found them near the rest area on this floor.
"Sister, aren't you afraid of getting fat?"
Lin Wan was standing in front of the vending machine, holding a bag of potato chips, her little face full of confusion.
Lin Ying gently brushed off the potato chip crumbs on her hands and replied, "I'm afraid, but this is what you want to buy."
"I asked you, and you said you bought it because you wanted to eat it. What do you mean you only ate one piece now? Do you want me to be the only one who gets fat? Didn't we agree to do everything together, including getting fat? This is unfair."
"When did you agree on this?"
"Sister...are you going to scheme against me for something like this? I don't care! Half for each of us!"
"Don't eat."
"eat!"
"..."
Chen Lusi was speechless as he looked at Lin Wan who was stuffing potato chips into her sister's mouth, and Lin Ying who turned her head away to avoid her.
Sometimes the two sisters would argue for no apparent reason over some very childish little things.
He couldn't figure it out.
Chen Lusi looked at them for a while, then walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Hearing the voice, Lin Wan immediately turned around, her clear eyes suddenly lit up, and then she trotted towards Chen Lusi, stopped abruptly in front of him, and handed him the potato chips: "Brother-in-law, this is specially left for you!"
