My Arms Can Turn into Blades

"Oh—"

In Tu’s light-red, enchanting eyes, the figure of Chen Lusi was once again reflected.

She elongated her tone and softly said, "So, the discussion fell apart? Then I can only send Tang Language back to Qingqiu. After all, I’m really worried she’ll be foolishly taken advantage of, bullied, sold out, or even beaten to death."

"No way!"

Tang Language replied, shouting once more, "I’m not an idiot!!!"

"Those who want the other side to agree but don’t dare speak up, stand aside."

"Who’s thinking that! Grandma, don’t make baseless accusations! I’m talking about serious matters with you!!!"

"Stand aside."

"No matter what, I hope you can let Tang Language stay at the Celestial Strategy Mansion."

On the other side.

Chen Lusi thought carefully for a moment and suddenly said, "I can guarantee her safety, as a friend."

"Xia Yue said the same thing."

Tu sounded somewhat uninterested, "But in the end, he still abandoned Tang Language."

"Mobile Unit."

Chen Lusi replied, "I don’t know if you’ve heard of this new group spanning the Security Army and the Celestial Strategy Mansion, but I’m the head of this unit. I plan to let Tang Language join the Mobile Unit.

During missions, she should be by my side. No matter what happens, I can protect her.

Also, as you said, not having the constraints of family makes a big difference for a man... and I have a family."

"Oh?"

Tu barely showed some interest, "Then I have to ask... why? Although I’m not human, I know that most human actions are motivated, except for those who are mentally unstable.

Some aim to achieve certain goals, some out of deeply ingrained habits, others driven by emotions, or due to value rationality, driven by specific values and beliefs.

So, why do you want Tang Language to stay at the Celestial Strategy Mansion? What’s your motive for doing so? Compared to you, I understand Tang Language better, and I know clearly that she’s far from reliable combat power, and you just refused the proposal to marry her openly, so it’s not likely out of affection.

Value rationality? You’re not a believer.

So, what is it that you’re really after?"

"I don’t have a motive."

Chen Lusi knew what she meant to say, shook his head, then glanced at Tang Language, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke honestly, "Probably emotionally driven, I had a childhood friend who was a lot like Tang Language, not in personality, but in essence, in my opinion, they’re the same.

To some extent, I might have projected her shadow onto Tang Language.

Besides... isn’t she adorable? Many members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion actually like her, and so do I."

Tang Language: "..."

Upon hearing this, Tu was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly, "Oh, I see, a fallback."

Chen Lusi: "No..."

"Do you know what Qingqiu is?"

Chen Lusi wanted to explain.

But Tu didn’t give him a chance and, after giving Tang Language the title of fallback, suddenly asked a question.

Chen Lusi shook his head.

Tu looked behind him and said softly, "It’s a legendary land kept active since our ancestors obtained it from the seventh Monarch of Xia Dynasty, Shu.

This land has always existed at the intersection of legend and reality.

This allows us, creatures originally in legends, to reproduce normally, and only we can reproduce normally.

And those other creatures in the Mountain and Sea Book, our kin, are now entirely relegated to legend. Occasionally activated, they become someone else’s Authority Ability Source Canon.

Over the long passage of time, this legendary land has birthed many names.

But unchanging is that this land, whether in the past or present, is of immense value to any power... To avoid repeating the fates of our kind, to avoid resentment, we’ve adhered to a reclusive policy for generations.

Be it defamation, siege, or expulsion, we can endure because as long as this land exists, we can continue to thrive.

Although there have been numerous disturbances during this time, overall, under the joint efforts of countless ancestors, stability has been maintained here.

And barring any accidents, Tang Language will succeed me to become the next one to maintain the stability of this land."

"..."

Although Chen Lusi didn’t understand her intent in saying these things, he still nodded.

"And this land... is also of immense value to you. Remember the story I just told? If your Authority Ability Source Canon is truly Yellow Spring Remnant Vein... then for you, there’s no better resting place than this."

Tu suddenly shifted, "The Yellow Springs Mainstream, which has been established for thousands of years, cannot be disturbed by one person. Not even a dynasty, as time goes on, you’ll surely be repelled by the Yellow Springs Mainstream.

But it’s different here. This place is ’beyond the law’ in a certain sense. Our clan is too small, and without men, it’s impossible to form a belief system and cycle system here.

Outside, even the desolate wasteland has exclusive death legends, but it’s different here. If your Authority Ability Source Canon is truly Yellow Spring Remnant Vein, this would become your ’kingdom’ and your strongest support.

And the only price is to marry Tang Language... Aren’t you tempted?"

"..."

Chen Lusi finally understood why the other party said these things.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head again.

"..."

Tu looked at Chen Lusi. Her originally light-red, enchanting eyes seemingly turned dark red and she fell silent.
