Chapter 569: Chapter 161: Delivered to the Door

Once Li Xin was on the carriage and had sat upright, feeling the strength from his posture, Lu Shuai quickly stopped him, "Brother Li, don’t push yourself."

"It’s not a big problem, just need some rest," Li Xin said. "How’s the president doing?"

"He’s in great health, old Bai keeps a low profile, and Chi Mao simply bit off more than he could chew. Haha, it’s a bit unfortunate, but you are now one of the Nine Dragons, well-deserved." Lu Shuai became happy again. "Here, this is the healing potion from Luo Xue."

Li Xin didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted it. He couldn’t return home today; Aunt Fei would be exasperated if she saw him.

"Do you have a place to stay?"

"Go back to Tranquil. There’s a dormitory in Canon Law School that’s always reserved for you." Lu Shuai immediately understood. "Ah, it’s indeed a pity. This guy actually became a Preparatory Angel. It’s unfair; otherwise, he might not have beaten you."

"Haha, I’m not afraid of losing, no need to comfort me," Li Xin laughed.

"Comforting you? I envy you, not enough time for that. If only I could fight Yan Tianguang like that, I’d boast about it tomorrow in the newspaper." Lu Shuai laughed.

Huerta felt a bit down; today’s battle put a lot of pressure on him. Lu Shuai patted Huerta on the shoulder, "My grandfather always said everyone has their own use. There’s always someone stronger, and we don’t need to compare to them; just compare with ourselves."

Huerta nodded, feeling somewhat comforted.

On another carriage, Bai Peng was also feeling good unexpectedly. Even though Li Xin wasted several years, his skills were still formidable enough to press Yan Tianguang to use his strongest form. Tranquil days are about to begin, and finally, he doesn’t have to bear everything alone.

There was a little episode, originally intended to meet and chat with Lei Jiu and Brother Li, but Lei Jiu excused himself.

Back at the dorm in Canon Law School, Lu Shuai and Huerta settled Li Xin down.

"Brother Li, the president just said that Lei Jiu might have misunderstood the gathering." Lu Shuai said, "Did you know him before?"

"Not really familiar." Li Xin said, "Alright, you two go get busy. They’re just surface injuries; I can move."

"I have some important things to deal with, I’ll come by later, Huerta will bring you food soon."

Once the two left, Li Xin rolled out of bed like a falcon, stood in front of the mirror, and thought, wow, this injury will probably take two or three days to heal.

It’s likely hard to hide from Li Moqian, but Lord Angel doesn’t seem like a gossip.

He took out a bell to call Justin to send Aunt Fei a message, letting her know he’d remain at Canon Law School for a couple of days to heal. Of course, he had a good reason: getting to know the students better.

Keeping it vague might even make Aunt Fei think he was chasing girls.

Thinking about this, Li Xin felt a bit overwhelmed. Arranging matchmaking can be addictive. He thought he could handle it, but it seems he’s not quite up for it, though this time Ji Mingyue probably lost interest in him.

The afternoon brought a surprise visitor, Chen Rutang.

"Dean, why are you here?" Li Xin opened the door a bit puzzled.

"Seeing if you’re alright," Chen Rutang examined Li Xin from head to toe. "You look not bad; Bai Peng told me the details. Do you want me to find a doctor for a check-up?"

"No need, it’s not a problem, I just need to recover a bit." Li Xin said, "Such a trivial matter shouldn’t trouble you unnecessarily."

Inviting Chen Rutang in, the old man looked around the room, satisfied, nodded, "Your injury this time was for the honor of Tranquil, shining glory on Tranquil. Make a request."

"Dean, everything’s quite good, Brother Bai is very enthusiastic, and I like Tranquil," Li Xin said.

Chen Rutang stroked his beard, nodded, and smiled. He favored Bai Peng, not only for his skills but also for his character, unlike the arrogance of the others.

"Go ahead, Tranquil always rewards contribution."

Li Xin thought for a moment. He couldn’t go back for a few days, and had to act injured, fully play the role, so better keep a low profile, "I’d like to request a typewriter. I need to recuperate in the dorm these days, perfect for writing some stuff. I remember promising you a surprise."

"Alright, anything else?" Chen Rutang generously waved his hand, "I’ll have a typewriter sent over soon."

"No, everything’s quite good."

"Okay, then I’m off. Remember to come to me if anything arises." Chen Rutang nodded with satisfaction.

Shortly after Chen Rutang left, someone delivered a typewriter, almost brand new. Honestly, Li Xin wouldn’t want to go to Divine Revelation now. In the coming days, he could write quite a bit.

Meanwhile, Lu Shuai had long left Canon Law School, returning near Divine Revelation Canon Law School, sitting in a coffee shop opposite Feili.

Everyone showed up; Feili couldn’t refuse this gesture, but her mood wasn’t great due to Patir’s current popularity overshadowing her. Clearly, she’s doing better. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Lu Shuai, if it’s a matchmaking matter again, don’t waste time." Feili said.

Lu Shuai smiled and waved, "No, no, it’s something else; I need cousin’s help."

Feili remained expressionless, it’s always like this. "Speak."

"Here’s the thing: I want to sell the property in East Second District. After thinking it over, not letting outsiders benefit, I wanted to ask if cousin is interested." Lu Shuai said.

Feili frowned, "What did you say?"

"I said I want to sell the property in East Second District. Found a buyer too, signing tomorrow, but it feels somewhat humiliating, so I wanted to ask if cousin is interested." Lu Shuai grinned wryly.

"Do you know what you’re doing?" Feili was speechless. This distant cousin couldn’t be more unreliable. After just over a year in Dragon Capital, wanting to sell the ancestral property. If word got out, it would damage not only his reputation but also the Potter Family’s.

"It’s indeed urgent; I wouldn’t do this unless absolutely necessary," Lu Shuai said helplessly.

"Did you gamble?" Feili asked suddenly, then waved her hand dismissively, "Never mind, don’t tell me. Some things ought to be clear: don’t come to me again. Strictly speaking, we have no relationship!"

Feili stood, her icy gaze stopping Lu Shuai from further pleading.

Watching Feili’s retreating figure, Lu Shuai sat back heavily, knowing he’d pushed it too far this time, exceeding Feili’s limits. Already unlikely to favor him, this time completely severed ties.

Yet there’s no choice; finding a big buyer quickly while keeping some semblance of dignity is the best way.

What to do?

While worrying, a girl sat opposite Lu Shuai, her smiling face.

If it were in the past, Lu Shuai might have joked a bit, but not with this person; it’s Patir Isaiah.

Currently the most illustrious woman in Dragon Capital, champion of the first beauty contest.

"Miss Patir, did you sit at the wrong table?" Lu Shuai asked.

"Lu Shuai, your property—I’ll buy it. How much?" Patir said with a bright smile.
