Chapter 573: Chapter 165: An Unexpected Surprise

The reporter, upon learning the content, became instantly excited. The orphan of the Night Patrol, whose parents perished fighting the Cult, had been cursed and was in despair. Fortunately, the descendant of the Grand Governor, Lu Shuai, helped find the Great Alchemist for the child. However, the Great Alchemist stated that the blessing potion from the Moon God was necessary, so they prayed all the way.

There were many worshippers hoping for the Moon God’s blessing in Dragon Capital, and similar events occurred elsewhere. But the descendant of Governor Luthor is rare. Flying Bird immediately followed up and received warm feedback, Justice Daily and Citizen Daily also joined in. It was a good thing, and with the selling point of Governor Luthor, they were happy to give it coverage.

Who is the descendant of Governor Luthor?

Lu Shuai.

Lu Shuai finally became popular in Dragon Capital. People knew that the Potter Family inherited the political and economic legacy of the Grand Governor, so when they saw Lu Shuai, they felt something was missing. But when Lu Shuai appeared in the newspaper, the feeling was entirely different, especially with Luthor’s sense of justice, winning many citizens’ favor.

Of course, it’s the same in the Canon Law School, where many nobles are idle. Suddenly, Lu Shuai appeared, without a doubt like the bright moon shining in the sky.

Many were jealous, but justice still prevailed for the majority. Some began to acknowledge Lu Shuai as the true "descendant" of the Grand Governor.

Lu Shuai had been busy with Miss Tang these past few days and hadn’t realized he was famous until the Flying Bird Daily reporters came to Shadow Owl, catching Lu Shuai and Miss Tang by surprise. Lu Shuai had just returned from investigating a case in the North District with Miss Tang, dusty and tired, and was quickly spotted by the reporters.

Upon learning they were dealing with a mine dispute in the North District, the reporters keenly identified this as the image of a true hero.

"A true senator!"

"The Grand Governor’s legacy is alive, justice prevails under the moonlit night!"

"A role model for the new era, Lu Shuai, protector of us citizens!"

...

Understanding that besides studying in the Canon Law School, Lu Shuai was also helping Night Patrol with cases, fulfilling his duties as a North District senator, advocating for ordinary citizens’ rights, Flying Bird Daily grew excited. They interviewed Tang Yinxiao, who cooperated with the interview but requested not to expose her photos.

Though regrettable, the reporters agreed in order to secure firsthand information.

Tang Chendan, though speaking very simply and practically, seemed unbelievable in the reporters’ ears. Such a person would brave the rain to listen to workers’ demands in muddy mines, tirelessly facilitating communication between workers and mine owners...

Hex Printing Factory, the machines crazily printing away. From the beauty pageant incident, Flying Bird had realized they could be popular, but not vulgar. They needed enlightening and justice-driven stories to elevate the newspaper’s tone and appeal, and this opportunity had arrived. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Among the three major newspapers, Flying Bird Daily dedicated the most effort to this matter.

Interviewed, Lu Shuai was happy. Before, he might have bragged extensively. However, after spending days with Miss Tang, solving many cases, and seeing so much of the underprivileged’s helplessness, he was reluctant to be too flashy, expressing himself normally and hoping newspapers would call for improved workers’ conditions.

On Friday, Lu Shuai finished his tasks and returned to the Canon Law School. He sold the house, dealt with Master Fang, and resolved the mine workers’ dispute in the North District. Most importantly, he arranged with Miss Tang to spend a relaxing weekend at the Celestial Pool Hot Springs.

She agreed.

She agreed!

Arriving at Li Xin’s dorm, Lu Shuai still seemed incredulous. Along the way, everyone showed him respect like never before. This kind of recognition was unimaginable to Lu Shuai before. Now he truly became the Grand Governor’s descendant, not just someone sharing the surname.

It felt like a dream.

"Brother Li, I’m sorry, the reporters got the magic potion materials wrong. Clearly, you worked hard to find them, yet they credited me. I’ll clarify at the newspaper." Lu Shuai said.

Li Xin waved his hand, smiling, "No, absolutely not, it’s fine this way, I’m trying to lay low and avoid the hassle."

The reporters intentionally centered the focus on Lu Shuai. Bringing in an irrelevant person wouldn’t help newspaper sales. They were determined to write extensively about Lu Shuai, inventing if necessary, especially since there was actual content.

Looking at Li Xin, Lu Shuai found his words sincere and couldn’t help laugh, "Others are keen on fame, you’re really unique."

"Everyone is different, like you can handle these things well and enjoy it, but I can’t," Li Xin laughed, "Enjoying the life you want is also a kind of delight and freedom."

"Then I won’t hold back, haha, Brother Li, truly a lucky star. As soon as I returned to Dragon Capital, my good days began. Oh, one more happy news, I asked Miss Tang out for a date this weekend, and she agreed." Lu Shuai said with joy.

"Haha, congratulations." Li Xin said sincerely; he noticed Lu Shuai’s transformation, all thanks to Tang Yinxiao.

A carefree person, a serious person, being together changed for the better, isn’t that a good thing?

"You’re like our matchmaker. When we get married, you and Huerta must be my groomsmen." Lu Shuai laughed.

"Certainly, no one will take that from me." Li Xin said, suddenly slapping his forehead, "I’m doomed."

"Huh?"

"Aunt Fei will definitely pressure me more."

If Lu Shuai were to marry, Aunt Fei would have even more reasons.

Next would be: Look at Lu Shuai, he’s married.

Look at Lu Shuai, his kid even knows how to buy soy sauce.

Look at Lu Shuai...

Nevertheless, he’s happy for Lu Shuai.

Leaving Li Xin’s place, Lu Shuai began preparing for the weekend. This hot springs trip would be the journey to establish a relationship. He must plan well for Miss Tang, though he spent the house money on Master Fang, but still had living expenses, and Uncle Lu wouldn’t mind.

In winter, the Celestial Pool hot springs town was extremely popular. Sometimes reservations needed to be made a month ahead; last-minute bookings mostly didn’t work, especially at the famous places. Yet, when the owners heard it was for Lu Shuai, they immediately agreed.

After all, now Lu Shuai was completely different from when he first arrived in Dragon Capital.

Among the most famous young people in Dragon Capital now, were not Nalan and Hong Ban from the time their fathers ran for Grand Governor. People focused more on Senator Lu Shuai, Miss Patir, and Knight Yan Tianguang. These three were not only famous in the Canon Law School but attracted attention from all citizens of Dragon Capital.

Attention equals influence.

Lu Shuai received numerous invitations from senators for banquets, which was previously unimaginable. He wasn’t concerned with the others, but there’s one he definitely had to attend because when he first arrived in Dragon Capital, this was the person who allowed him to become a House of Representatives senator. He’s grateful, regardless if the person might not have cared at the time.

Of course, all this would be after the weekend.
