I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 232. Arson

Carrying two nasal snuff bottles filled with calming essential oil, Lu Li and Xiao Cha took a car to the National Martial Arts Association.

But when they were still two miles away, the car could no longer make it through.

The entire street was packed with people, forming long queues that blocked the surrounding area.

And their goal, of course, was to purchase "Calming Incense."

At this time, a young man who had just bought the incense was squeezing his way out, holding the incense box happily.

People along the way kept asking: "Young man, is there any incense left?"

The young man replied: "Plenty, Cultivators can buy directly three boxes."

Everyone felt relieved, and some analyzed:

"Looks like there’s no shortage."

"Weren’t they supposed to be under embargo? Where did they get them from?"

"Mr. Nan has quite an extensive network, it’s hard to say."

...

While people chatted idly, a few with somber expressions suddenly stopped queuing and quickly turned to leave.

On Lu Li’s side, seeing that the car couldn’t get through, he let "0" lift the car above his head and walked in.

This tactic immediately parted the crowd, who respectfully made way.

Arriving at the base of the National Martial Arts Association building, he told 0 to wait below as the two of them went up to the top floor to see Xia Weiyun.

She had a touch more tiredness on her face than the day before.

Lu Li greeted her with a fist and said, "Master, I’m here to express my gratitude for the visit; I’ve truly gained a lot this time!"

Xia Weiyun led the two inside and said with a smile,

"It was also Mr. Nan praising you over the phone that got my master interested in you. You have to cultivate diligently and not let down the high hopes of the two seniors."

"I definitely won’t slack off!"

At this moment, Lu Li noticed Master Nan was not there.

Xia Weiyun spoke proactively: "A Dead Eunuch is coming to Jinmen, Mr. Nan has gone to receive him."

Thinking it was official business, Lu Li didn’t pay much mind and took out two nasal snuff bottles, passing them over with the words,

"Here are two bottles of essential oil, quite effective, just a small token of my gratitude."

Xia Weiyun took them curiously, opened a bottle, and sniffed it lightly, her mouth opened wide as if she was about to sneeze.

She barely managed to suppress it thanks to the physique of a Blood Swapping Warrior.

"Good stuff!!"

Xia Weiyun, knowing quality when she saw it, quickly tucked them into her sleeve, planning to save them for her own master.

But Lu Li had more than just that in mind, he asked,

"Master, are you practicing Refining Spirit Meditation? I have an item that can aid in Zuowang, I’ll bring it to you in a few days."

Lu Li was referring to the phonograph.

As Xia Weiyun had just tucked away the essential oils and heard this news, she was momentarily startled.

She met Lu Li’s clear and sincere gaze and couldn’t help but chuckle:

"You sure pay your debts of gratitude quickly; you really are a man of honor!"

Lu Li also laughed but didn’t speak. Xia Weiyun patted his shoulder and said,

"I really do need to advance in Zuowang to better my chances of breaking through to the Innate level, I won’t be polite with you."

"If it’s useful, then that’s great," Lu Li said. "It will take roughly three days, so Master, please wait a bit."

"Stop calling me Master, it feels awkward."

Xia Weiyun, showing a bright smile, said,

"You’re a nice guy, and I like that; I’ll consider you my sworn younger brother from now on, and you can call me ’Sister’."

The word ’sister’ felt somewhat remote to Lu Li, and he hesitated for a moment but found no objections and mimicked Xiao Cha’s address:

"Sister Xia is good."

"Ha ha~ Good bro! Suddenly gained a brother and two sisters, how fortunate~"

Xia Weiyun said, happily hooking her arms around both Lu Li’s and Xiao Cha’s shoulders.

"Zheng Hong from Xuanzang Temple is to take the position of deputy president, a vile character; girls must be careful when dealing with him!"

"Why would the Governor’s Office bring in such a person!"

While the two women were exchanging these words, Lu Li suddenly sniffed, and his expression changed!

At that moment, 0 was downstairs.

Their spirits connected, and through the puppet’s spirit within, Lu Li detected the smell of kerosene!

The source... was none other than the warehouse where the Calming Incense had been unloaded!

"Someone is going to set it on fire!"

Lu Li gave a warning while also directing 0, not far away, to rush over.

kicked the ground and became a dark shadow, dashing toward the warehouse, just in time to see someone throw a lighter inside.

The kerosene caught fire, and flames erupted instantly, threatening to reduce the stored Calming Incense to ashes.

In a critical moment, Lu Li channeled his own spirit within 0, which surged out like a blanket over the flames.

The oxygen cut off, it took only a second or two for the roaring flame to be extinguished.

By the time the three of them arrived, only wisps of blue smoke remained.

And the arsonist, who surely intended to escape, was blocked by 0.

This was a burly man wearing a duckbill cap who sent 0 flying with a punch, clearly a Blood Swapping Warrior!

But he was delayed just long enough to not escape in time and was intercepted by Xia Weiyun!

"Bang bang bang!"

In the midst of thunderous noise, they exchanged punches three times.

With each punch the man in the duckbill cap took, he stepped back, sinking his foot into the ground, clearly outmatched.

On the third punch, he was sent flying backward, dug his fingers into the ground to scrape out a trench, and just barely managed to stabilize himself.

The man was in a sorry state, his cap had fallen off, revealing a shiny bald head.

Xia Weiyun, with a displeased look, said:

"Kongxing! Has Xuanzang Temple gone mad? Destroying these incenses will only end up benefitting the Chuyun people!"

The monk named Kongxing patted the dirt off himself and squeezed out a sinister smile with his meaty face:

"Master Hui Xian, the Imperial Army asked me to pass a message to you—stop being delusional."

At this point, staff members arrived with buckets of water.

Kongxing put his hands together in respect and disappeared into the crowd.

Xia Weiyun didn’t pursue him but instead turned to Lu Li and Xiao Cha and said:

"This is the man mentioned earlier, that lecher Zheng Hong’s Direct Disciple. Strange... Xuanzang Temple’s business was cut off by the Chuyun people; they should be sworn enemies!"

Neither Lu Li nor Xiao Cha could answer that question.

Fortunately, the warehouse full of Calming Incense was largely unharmed.

After a long while of not appearing, Jin Chaofeng came forth to report:

"Reporting to the director, fortunately, the rescue was timely, only the outer packaging was burned."

"Move the Calming Incense to my office."

Xia Weiyun didn’t delve into the negligence of the oversight but simply ordered with a cold face, and a group of workers hurriedly began to move it.

Looking at the charred warehouse, Xia Weiyun pinched her brow and said with a heavy tone:

"It’s so hard to do a bit of good in this world. Brother, it’s thanks to your quick-witted subordinate."

Lu Li took up the conversation: "Sister Xia, what’s the story with Xuanzang Temple?"
