My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 204 - 169: Artificial

Chen Lusi looked down at the girl with dual ponytails, a pretty face, and who seemed saturated with an anime-like vibe, not knowing how to respond.

Because he couldn't understand what this person was thinking at all, it was incomprehensible when in Monkey Anomaly Realm.

It was equally perplexing during their second encounter.

Now, even more so.

Hard to evaluate.

Didn't know if she should be praised for being straightforward or for being naive.

"Why aren't you speaking!"

Chen Lusi was slightly lost in thought.

Seeing him silent, Shu Li bounced in place and energetically waved at him, "I already know you... woo, woo, woo..."

Shu Li wanted to say that she knew Chen Lusi was the protagonist of a video that had gone viral recently.

But before she could finish her sentence, her ponytails were pulled.

Xia Panqiu had come up behind her, one hand pulling her ponytail while the other covered her mouth, looking at Chen Lusi: "She's an idiot, don't mind her..."

Despite Xia Panqiu's attempt to maintain a calm demeanor, almost everyone who interacted with her recently noticed she seemed to have brightened up. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Woo, woo, woo!"

Upon hearing Xia Panqiu's words, Shu Li struggled even more vigorously.

Xia Panqiu firmly held onto her ponytails, dragging her away for some distance before releasing her, then lifted her fist and punched her on the head, exasperatedly saying: "...Are you an idiot? Why do you blurt out everything?"

Shu Li whispered: "Apart from the Security Army here, it's just my subordinates and all trusted people. What's the problem?"

Xia Panqiu pursed her red lips and punched her in the head again: "Trust? Do you mean the trust after a mole was uncovered a few days ago?"

"Alright... But Panqiu, could you stop hitting my head? Even though I've been demoted, I was a prominent figure before, right? Just like you don't want to lose face in front of Chen Lusi, I don't want to either."

Upon hearing this, Xia Panqiu immediately glanced at Chen Lusi and punched her head once more.

Shu Li rubbed her head: "..."

After the Mirror Flower Water Moon experience, the two seemed to have really become familiar with each other.

Even though Shu Li was somewhat reckless.

Thanks to her, the somewhat stagnant atmosphere was eased.

Very soon.

Li Zheng, Zhou Jian, and Wu You took the initiative to approach Chen Lusi.

"Lu Si, ah."

Wu You, as always, hooked his arm around Chen Lusi's neck as he approached him, shaking him vigorously: "You left so quickly last time, I didn't get to thank you. Really, thanks again for saving my life.

Do you know what it's like to eat more than eighty meals of stir-fried liver and kidneys? Damn, and they are tasteless! Looking back, it was like chewing on a shoe sole. After coming out, I even took a bite of a shoe sole to compare, and it was exactly the same. If it weren't for you, I'd probably have to eat them a hundred times..."

Chen Lusi withdrew his gaze from Shu Li and Xia Panqiu, remaining silent for a moment: "Brother Wu You, I know you want to ease the atmosphere, but you don't have to say you bit down on a shoe sole."

"I really did."

"..."

Chen Lusi was speechless.

Li Zheng and Zhou Jian gazed at Wu You with a 'defying the heavens' expression.

Wu You didn't care at all, seeing Chen Lusi was speechless, he shook him again, chuckled.

Both Shu Li and Wu You helped ease the atmosphere.

Their effect was indeed good.

Li Zheng, seeing Wu You had no more to say, withdrew his gaze from him, slightly relaxed, then turned to Chen Lusi and asked: "Are you alright?"

To be honest.

When he saw Chen Lusi appearing, he actually had a feeling of facing Xia Yue.

Only now did he barely calm down.

It can only be said, the surveillance footage left a deep impression on him.

"I'm fine."

Chen Lusi shook his head: "I've heard about it, you're here to see if I'm withdrawing from Celestial Strategy Mansion, right?"

"That's right."

Li Zheng nodded, then took a deep breath and said seriously: "I must confirm this matter, Celestial Strategy Mansion can't be like before, I can't allow any member to drift outside for now."

Li Zheng spoke plainly.

If Celestial Strategy Mansion wanted change, the first thing was to restrain the members below, while Chen Lusi was drifting outside because of the Monkey Anomaly Realm, obviously unsuitable.

Everyone present understood what Li Zheng meant.

At this moment, many paused their tasks, looking at Chen Lusi.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi thought carefully for a moment, then gave his answer: "I won't be withdrawing from Celestial Strategy Mansion for now."

"...Got it."

Li Zheng heard this answer and imperceptibly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was undoubtedly the best result.

Li Zheng was a very traditional soldier, regarding someone like Chen Lusi who had proven himself, an exceedingly reliable force, deep down he really didn't want him to leave.

After all, the chaos in Jiangchang City was almost single-handedly resolved by him.

But Chen Lusi was too special, especially for those who watched the original video, coupled with Chen Lusi's layer of identity as a 'teacher'...

Therefore, forcing him to stay was hard to say.

At the same time, both Xia Panqiu and Wu You also breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side.

Chen Lusi noticed the change in everyone's expressions but didn't think too much about it.

He just wanted to follow Lin Ying's advice and try to act according to instinct.

Li Zheng was lost in thought for a moment before reacting, exchanging a glance with his assistant, Zhou Jian, and spoke again: "Now let me tell you about the 'First Rider Position.'"

"I've already heard about it from Si Yujie earlier. Whether you want me to participate, it's up to you."
