I Have a Dice Left by a God
Chapter 538 - 130: Hot Commodity
After Lin Fei went upstairs for a while, Li Xin sneaked out again and came to Justin's den, pulling out Justin, who was pondering where to party tonight.
"Don't sleep at home recently, go to the Celestial Academy and stay with Xueyin to ensure her safety," Li Xin said. With Philson and Mordo there, it's not necessary, mainly to alleviate Xueyin's loneliness.
Celestial Academy?
Justin's face was blank, safety, ensure?
It?
A pair of cat eyes squinted into a slit.
"I'm not asking you to do anything, I mean if something's wrong, report it back in time, or if Xueyin has any needs you can convey them to me." Li Xin shook Justin's bell, speaking as he took out a silver coin.
The originally lazy Justin suddenly became spirited, is this still dog Xin? The iron rooster chirps, his paw swept as fast as lightning to take the silver coin, fearing dog Xin would regret it the next second and take out some change instead.
As long as there's money, even if it's a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, Lord Justin dares to venture.
Watching Justin disappear into the night, Li Xin also felt slightly at ease.
On the other side, Xueyin finished a day's ceremony, her mentor and the dean treated her well, at the Celestial Academy, except for those who reached the Grand Scholar realm, her standing was higher than other scholars.
The academy prepared a room especially for Xueyin, surrounded by female scholars, the room was spacious, simply decorated, as the hustle and bustle subsided, removing her disguise, Xueyin lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep for a long time, she always lived with her mom and Ah Xin, it's also her first time away from home.
No idea how long it was before the window made a noise, Xueyin's eyes shone, she immediately took out a sharp pair of scissors, cautiously approached the window, opened it, and saw the timid Justin.
Justin's legs were weak, relying entirely on the support of a silver coin, on his journey, no idea how many forces swept past, several times he saw his great-grandmother, it was difficult for him to find Xueyin, the sight of sharp scissors made his legs soft almost fell, luckily Xueyin reacted quickly and grabbed his head.
"Justin, great, how could I forget you, from now on accompany me studying!" Xueyin happily brought Justin in, shaking him a few times.
Justin flipped his cat eyes and felt his stomach churning, this kid is just like dog Xin, it's a cat, doesn't need to study.
"It must be Ah Xin who sent you," Xueyin smiled.
Justin nodded, licked his paw, looked around, the sense of crisis lingering on him finally disappeared, this was a dragon's den and tiger's lair, but it couldn't stop Lord Justin.
"I knew it, wait a moment, I'll make a nest for you." Xueyin suddenly had energy, simply made a corner for Justin, laid a mat, with Justin, it seemed not so unfamiliar anymore.
Despite being picky, Justin still lay in the simple nest, Lord Justin does business for money without discounts.
The first night away from home, Xueyin finally fell asleep...
The next day, all three Hex Bird Reports covered the apprenticeship ceremony, the section wasn't big, the disciples were briefly mentioned, ordinary people knew the Celestial Academy was formidable but weren't too concerned, causing no waves, meanwhile, Hex City Daily's beauty pageant was in full swing, in the first stage, the straight-line advancement of Patir from the Isaiah family stood out, as an elite of the Canon Law School, Patir's family background and looks, and expressiveness were indeed exceptional, this stage seemed made for her, breaking initial reservations, Patir accurately projected her personal charm.
This era first felt "beauty" amplified by the media, initially Patir's prestige suffered due to Celestial Academy's proclamation, but with the beauty pageant's support, it became negligible, Patir was unattainable to most students previously, but in newspaper reports, her personal charm was showcased and amplified, particularly with competitors' contrast, these all added value, Dao Yuan's first beauty title was almost out, which Patir hadn't foreseen before participating, she purely wanted to showcase her beauty, yet gained what she most desired.
Besides girls getting a display stage, another major beneficiary was Citizen Daily, its current sales rivaled Justice Daily, Justice Daily struggled for a lifetime, a sudden creative idea from Citizen Daily directly balanced the scale, even has a surpassing trend, recently Justice Daily's editors had a hard time, overtime was customary.
In the office, Lin Fei already entered a busy state, took a day off yesterday, today's work piled up.
Knock knock knock.
Lin Fei looked up, Jina was already standing at the door, leaning against the wall, smiling brightly, "Congratulations, such a big event should you treat us?"
Jina knew Lin Fei's daughter was apprenticing yesterday, the teacher was from Celestial Academy, but didn't know it was Grandmaster Philson, she didn't care, was only this morning chatting at home heard the name Lin Xueyin, then connected it.
Lin Fei smiled slightly, "I should, anytime."
Jina knew Lin Fei's nature, extremely low-key and stable person, "You, everything's good, just too low-key, if it were me I'd plan overwhelmingly."
"It's merely a learning opportunity, actually a bit unwilling in heart," Lin Fei said.
"Don't say, I'm almost sick with envy, no matter what you say, this meal won't escape, along with hush money." Jina pointed outside.
Lin Fei helplessly smiled, "All up to you."
She's not a showy person, doesn't want the newspaper bustling, in reality, such events few sincerely congratulate, mostly envy, unnecessary complications.
"Our sales today might surpass Justice, Ao Yi is like an ant on a hot pan, hasn't been this satisfying for long." Jina comfortably said, for a while she didn't sit idle, blocked quite a few open and hidden arrows, "The first phase's five judge lists are out, want to take a look?"
"Sister Na decides it's fine, I don't have connections or experience in this." Lin Fei said.
"Now don't say so." Jina laughed, Grandmaster Philson wouldn't easily accept a disciple, clearly wouldn't, and yesterday's apprenticeship ceremony was highly ceremonious, evidently passing on the legacy, though Celestial Academy values perception greatly, not fussing over background, to say there are no other factors she doesn't believe it, Kathy the Secretary was present too, but knowing power relations she's sure Kathy doesn't have such influential standing.
"Sister Na, I was wrong, you can eat anything." Lin Fei bitterly smiled.
"I also want a Gourmet Association banquet, such scale of invitation in Dragon Capital appears less than ten times," Jina said, if not understanding Lin Fei's character, might be angered, "such secret organizations never accept interviews, got connections?"
"I don't know Gourmet Association people, Ah Xin found it, didn't expect such a grand affair." Lin Fei helplessly said, "Although I can't guarantee about Gourmet Association, he seems to have some gourmet ability, cooks tasty meals."
"Handsome, also a Canon Law School top student, can cook, then I'm shameless, no time like the present, tonight I'm free." Jina said, "Long wanted to see the nephew you praised to the skies."
