The atmosphere at Paradise Bar was lively, and it was hard not to be energized when a group of proud young people gathered together.
Seeing Li Xin and Lu Shuai arrive, Bai Peng quickly waved his hand, "Co, co, sit here, you finally made it."
Feili and Bai Peng were drinking and chatting, appearing to have been at it for a while, while Luo Xue quietly watched the dance floor. On the dance floor, Ji Mingyue and Nalan paired off, Hong Ban and Patir ford another pair, and both sides were in a dance-off, surrounded by over a dozen young n and won. When Governor Luthor introduced these new things back then, he faced criticism, but soon the nobility beca imrsed in it. Both young and old enjoyed the pleasures that were well understood by those who knew.
From a non-professional perspective, it was quite elegant. While one might question the character of the nobility, their taste was undoubtedly impeccable.
"Let formally introduce you, Miss Feili, this is Li Xin, my big brother," said Lu Shuai.
"I’ve heard much about you, Mr. Li Xin gained fa during the monthly exam battle, I hope we have more chances to exchange insights in the future," Feili remarked.
"Miss Feili is too kind."
The two shook hands, or rather, pinched each other’s fingertips.
"Luo Xue, long ti no see." Li Xin sat next to Luo Xue.
Luo Xue smiled gently, "You are always so busy, it’s rare to et you."
"What happened to Senior Sister Ruolin? Haven’t seen her in a while."
"She’s the star at Hex Academy now, busy with her research," Luo Xue said. With Li Xin here, she finally had soone to talk to.
"What is her research focus?"
Feili took Lu Shuai to make introductions, the true focus of this gathering was Lu Shuai. His recent exposure had earned the acknowledgnt of Dragon Capital’s elite circles.
Perhaps he could fight, but he was yet to catch the attention of these people. Each year, the Canon Law School produced countless talented combatants.
"Improving Hex Airships, the current ones fly too slowly. I’ve heard there has been so progress," Luo Xue said as Li Xin surveyed the surroundings, "What do you think?"
"What do you an?"
"These people, this place," Luo Xue replied.
"Dragon Capital is better than Hedan," Li Xin said. In Hedan, he had also encountered similar situations; their trend was the Hunting Enjoynt Club, while Dragon Capital was ambitious and engaged in both open and covert struggles, yet at a higher level.
Luo Xue nodded, "Nalan, Hong Ban, and Yan Tianguang are representatives, receiving support from the Moon God’s Court, and the resources granted to Beijing people by extension naturally isn’t less than Hedan."
In the dance floor, Lu Shuai also danced with Feili to the warm welco from everyone. Their performance as cousins received constant applause. Any skill the nobility excelled at was also Lu Shuai’s talent.
Li Xin and Luo Xue also offered their applause. After the dance, Lu Shuai beca the center of attention for everyone, these young nobles were here to form connections with him, whether out of personal interest or family directive, everyone saw potential in Lu Shuai.
His public reputation was just a part of it; mainly his identity as the successor to Governor Luthor combined with his wisdom, creating a triple threat. Any one or two of these alone might not be formidable, but having all three made him a must-have ally for both the Justice faction and the Freedom faction. With the upcoming governor elections, if Lu Shuai supported either side, it would definitely boost that side’s approval rate.
If not for the foolishness of the Nalan Family, the Justice faction represented by the Hong Family would have had no chance, but now Lu Shuai was highly likely to sway towards the Justice faction.
Hong Ban among them was the most enthusiastic; Nalan and Feili, despite their familial ties, couldn’t easily bridge their gaps now.
"Senior Sister Moon, we et again." Lu Shuai didn’t pay much attention to the praise from either side and instead focused his attention on Ji Mingyue.
"Junior Brother Lu, I’ve been astounded by your astonishing talents for quite so ti," Ji Mingyue smiled sweetly.
Initially intending to introduce them, it was discovered that the Princess and Lu Shuai were old acquaintances, as if there was a story there.
"Senior Sister overpraised . It was just a fortunate encounter, mainly luck," Lu Shuai humbly said.
"Wow, no wonder you’re the president, we all underestimated you, only the president recognized your talent," Hong Ban imdiately laughed.
"Hong Ban, you’re wrong, it wasn’t just the president, but too," Patir said with a charming smile, she adored showcasing her charms at Feili’s gatherings, while the latter was begrudgingly helpless.
Brush off previous grievances, what a joke; embellishing achievents doesn’t compare to sending charcoal in snowy weather. According to Hex intelligence investigations, the Freedom faction’s leader Nalan Jingguo led the Justice faction’s leader Hong Yan by about five percentage points. This lead wasn’t secure, as both sides, veteran leaders in various fields, competed fiercely, never giving the opponent a clear opportunity, including Nalan and Hong Yan’s rivalry. But now, with Lu Shuai’s ergence, the side he leans towards becos the winning card.
It’s a pity that she shares the sa faction with Feili; otherwise, it would be even more thrilling. Yet despite this, she must make Lu Shuai her ally to wield influence within the Upper Council.
Seeing the Princess and Lu Shuai’s acquaintance, the young nobles initially filled with jealousy and disdain adjusted their attitudes, accordingly elevating their view of Lu Shuai.
"Luo Xue, did you hear about the two students who died at Divine Revelation?" Li Xin asked, suddenly recalling Luo Xue was the assistant to the president. Perhaps Black Rose’s influence might have insight.
Luo Xue glanced at the others, noticing no one paying attention, and subtly nodded, "Black Rose took it seriously and investigated imdiately."
Upon hearing this, Li Xin’s interest piqued, "I’m in charge of this case now."
"Though the two students didn’t make it into Black Rose, they were within the investigation scope. They were decent in character and strength, with no apparent issues. Their behavior is questionable," Luo Xue whispered.
"Could it be that’s their true nature?"
"It’s possible, which is why Divine Revelation issued a gag order. However, the bodies are currently with the Church Court, making further investigation impossible," Luo Xue paused, "I’ve heard they were frad."
Li Xin nodded. If the Enslaved Angels, following the Puppet Master’s path, manipulated two students, it wouldn’t be difficult. The aim was to draw out Jiang Wu, and their goal was achieved.
But here lies a point of concern, why choose Divine Revelation’s students?
It’s not underestimating the Enslaved Angels’ strength, but within the Church Court’s territory, they don’t stand a chance. Certainly, Enslaved Angels are the best at disguising and hiding among angels.
Yet even so, why not choose a smaller target?
If discovered through investigation, Divine Revelation Canon Law School wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
Li Xin always believed in the logic and motive behind cris, unless the opponent was a random killer, though based on past actions, this possibility was minimal.
Thus, these two students must have had issues.
Watching Li Xin ponder, "Would you like to investigate for you?" Luo Xue asked.
"President, that would be wonderful," Li Xin smiled, raising his glass.
Luo Xue also smiled, raising her glass, knowing Li Xin hadn’t minded past events and still regarded her as a friend.
