My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 374 - 227: Walking Into the Wall

Yevgeny could only give up after thinking deeply, offered a simple apology, and then stepped into the conference room.

Chen Lusi also withdrew his gaze.

At the same time, feeling a little disappointed.

He thought the Chamomile Alliance people would be interesting... but reality was somewhat different from his imagination.

Meanwhile, Ivan and Yevgeny had just entered the conference room.

Outside.

The sound of wheelchair wheels rolling started to echo.

Then.

Shan Li pushed Ji Xin to the door.

Yevgeny glanced at Xia Yue and then looked at the indifferent girl sitting in the wheelchair, slightly surprised and somewhat tense.

Even Xia Yue has to accompany in front of this Ji Xin?

On the other side.

Xia Yue smiled slightly, saying nothing; he didn’t mind being used to advantage, as long as it wasn’t out of self-interest.

"Ji Xin."

After entering the conference room, Ji Xin directly looked at Yevgeny, stated his name, and then fell silent.

... No opening remarks, no pleasantries.

Yevgeny patiently waited for a moment and found that the other party just stated a name, feeling slightly awkward, but still managed to introduce himself.

Ivan did roughly the same.

At this moment, neither of them felt spirited... Especially after the maneuver by Chen Lusi and Zhang Xiufeng at the door earlier.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xin nodded slightly and then straightforwardly asked: "So why are you here exactly? ’Exchange and learn’? What do you wish to exchange and learn? Also, you want to meet face-to-face with Chen Lu Si to explain the misunderstanding from a while ago? Then he’s right in front of you, what do you want to explain? You can say it now."

Yevgeny and Ivan exchanged a look, caught off guard by Ji Xin’s directness.

Mainly because their plans had been completely disrupted.

Additionally, Ji Xin’s tone was almost aggressive, making it really difficult for them to respond.

"... Ji Xin Celestial Strategy."

Yevgeny barely gathered his thoughts and formulated his words: "Actually, the main reason we came this time is to apologize, not only to Chen Lusi but also to your Celestial Strategy Mansion. Anna from our Russian Orthodox Church was indeed reckless."

This matter is not only his responsibility; the entire Russian Orthodox Church bears the responsibility."

Ji Xin nodded, indicating for him to continue.

"No matter what she saw at the time, she shouldn’t have tried to seize an ally’s weapon."

Yevgeny paused as he said this, subtly glancing at the others.

But upon hearing the words ’weapon’, neither Chen Lusi nor Xia Yue’s expressions changed in the slightest.

He felt a bit disappointed but did not show it as he continued: "Even if you had killed her on the spot at the time, we wouldn’t have objected, but... she is she, the Saint she carries is not hers alone, but belongs to the entire Russian Orthodox Church.

I believe that even the Saint didn’t agree with her actions, so..."

"Understood."

Ji Xin coldly said: "You came to claim what’s yours."

Yevgeny smiled wryly: "Ji Xin Celestial Strategy, that Saint was the first canonized by this Pope upon ascension...

"Then where do you think that weapon Anna attempted to seize originated from?"

Ji Xin expressionlessly turned to Chen Lusi... behind Zhang Xiufeng: "That’s the painstaking effort of our Daoism across generations, and the result of Chen Lusi’s exhaustive labor. Had it really been seized, it wouldn’t just be a matter of your Pope apologizing, we’d have escalated to all-out war."

"..."

Zhang Xiufeng frowned slightly, still mulling over the events just happened, completely oblivious to Ji Xin’s words.

And in Yevgeny’s eyes, his appearance expressed discontent.

No wonder the Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain is here...

The weapon mentioned by Sikopuqi Sect turns out to be linked with Daoism?

Yevgeny’s thoughts raced.

On the other side.

Chen Lusi wore a blank expression.

Unsure of what to say.

Since when did the Celestial Punishment Weapon have anything to do with Daoism across generations?

And does his effort qualify as exhaustive?

"But..."

Yevgeny, although having obtained some information he wanted, found the current situation indeed rather tricky. He reached out his dry arm, gently squeezing the table edge, attempting to continue speaking.

"No ’but’.

Ji Xin lightly shook his head, then looked at him: "If you wish to ransom Anna, to reclaim your first canonized Saint by the Pope upon ascension, show sincerity. Anyone can make a casual apology, if you wish, I can have our Tangyu Celestial Strategy apologize to you daily.

But would it be meaningful? Not at all. You must know, at the time, Anna harmed not only Chen Lusi but the entire Celestial Strategy Mansion, all of Daoism.

We are neighbors, with an alliance, yet you treat us this way, then expect to brush it off with a simple apology? That’s unlikely.

If you’re serious about apologizing, have your Pope come here personally."

After a moment of silence, Yevgeny said: "... The Pope has been bedridden for years."

Ji Xin directly said: "Then let him step down, and appoint a new Pope."

Yevgeny: "..."

"This matter can be discussed later, but can we see Anna once?"

This time.

Ivan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

Ji Xin narrowed his eyes, looking at Ivan beside him.

"I know her crime is unforgivable, and that she damaged the harmony between us... but after all, she’s a member of the Russian Orthodox Church. We hope to ask her personally what she was thinking at the time, and learn from it."

Ivan took a deep breath and tactfully said: "This could effectively prevent similar incidents from occurring again, please grant us this request."
