Looking at the smug Lu Shuai, Li Xin was helpless. He had reminded him many times before and didn’t want to nag anymore.

"Brother Li, I’m serious, I’m not playing around. After this period of interaction, I found that Miss Tang is really outstanding, capable, patient, and very righteous and responsible. And she’s so gentle. Yes, I’ve never seen such a gentle and kind girl. Coldness is just a disguise for self-protection. Initially, I was attracted by her beauty, but after spending this time together, I feel her soul is even more beautiful." Lu Shuai said, having worked with Tang Chendan on a case, he discovered she handled things very methodically and was very patient when faced with emotional citizens. That kind of competent and spirited style is a beauty he has never seen in his life. It’s what they call a soul match. His mother had said, when you meet the right person, your heart will know.

"Congratulations, keep it up," Li Xin finally relaxed. "What’s going on with the Canon Law School?"

"Damn it, the dog-like Divine Revelation is playing dirty. Didn’t Citizen Daily organize a beauty contest? Aunt Fei is the planner, and it’s a collaborative newspaper with Celestial University, so we’re definitely giving full support. But they said it’s vulgar and not suitable as the first location for a presentation. How infuriating is that, really makes you want to kill them!" Lu Shuai said angrily.

Li Xin was slightly taken aback, he didn’t expect the other side to approach it from this angle.

"The dean and Elder Bai are very anxious, and they’re discussing whether to halt the beauty contest. I think you should know about this quickly," Lu Shuai said, "Once the beauty contest is halted, I worry it will trigger a chain reaction impacting Aunt Fei, but if it’s not halted, there’s concern the Celestial Principle School might change their mind."

Li Xin thought for a moment, "The Celestial Principle School shouldn’t change, the beauty contest cannot stop."

"I can’t make it happen, you have to convince them," Lu Shuai breathed a sigh of relief. "They’re investigating the cause over at Divine Revelation, but suspicion fell on me. I blocked it, but over time I’m afraid it will be found out."

Lu Shuai regretted boasting in front of Ji Mingyue back then, but this matter shouldn’t have been caused by Her Highness. With her status, she wouldn’t resort to such low tricks.

Looking at the somewhat worried Lu Shuai, Li Xin smiled, "What’s meant for us is ours. There’s no need to forcibly keep what isn’t."

At this moment, on the third floor of Shadow Owl.

Tang Chendan looked at the two bottles in front with disbelief, while Meng Po held the child, face worried, "Is it true?"

"The Tears of the Dead are confirmed, and although the blood of the Flame Beetle can’t be opened, a Mithril container is a necessary vessel for holding it. His reminder was correct and there shouldn’t be any issue." Tang Chendan said, actually within Shadow Owl, they no longer hold any hope for this matter, but Meng Po refused to give up, holding on to the mindset of trying everything possible.

"I pride myself on reading people accurately, didn’t expect to miss this time, having a prejudice against Li Yinxiao," Meng Po said, "Tang Yinxiao, were we too excessive, otherwise..."

Tang Chendan glanced at Meng Po, "This matter indeed owes him a gratitude, I will report to the captain, whether to let him join is for the captain to decide, as for anything else, it’s none of your concern."

Meng Po hesitated to speak, looked at Tang Chendan’s expression, sighed, and glanced at the dazed candy cake, bit her lip, "I hope everything goes smoothly. As long as this child can be saved, I’ll do whatever it takes."

......

Lu Shuai and Li Xin’s carriage arrived at Serene Canon Law School, Li Xin headed straight for the dean’s office.

"Reporting, Dean, you asked for me."

Chen Rutang relaxed seeing Li Xin’s expression, "You’re here, you know about the matter, right? Someone from Divine Revelation just came, hoping we voluntarily give up the first presentation."

"Oh, tell them to get lost," Li Xin said.

"Good, straightforward!" Chen Rutang slapped the table and stood up, "These brats, their crooked ideas have reached me. When I played dirty, they weren’t even born yet. The Celestial Principle School won’t renege, right?"

"No."

"Then it’s settled, the beauty contest must not only proceed but also be promoted grandly. Serene must take the lead, this idea is very good, continuing some of Luthor’s liberating thoughts, matching the Canon Law School’s principles, our students here must be confident, free, regardless of gender."

"Dean, you are brilliant. Under your leadership, Serene surpassing Divine Revelation is just around the corner!" Li Xin said.

Chen Rutang glared, "Who taught you this flattery skill?"

"Dean, these are my heartfelt words. Consider, who in entire Dragon Capital can have such foresight as you, not fearing threats, it’s Serene’s blessing."

"Hahaha, good, well said. A leader must have the spirit and courage of a pioneer. Hmm, I heard you haven’t attended class lately?"

Chen Rutang’s change in topic was so abrupt that Li Xin almost lost his balance. He needed to answer well. Saying he’s busy with Night Patrol’s case might seem like he’s not taking Serene seriously. Suddenly, his eyes twinkled, "Dean, I’m preparing a surprise. It’s not finished yet, so it’s confidential for now."

"Oh? You’re not just trying to fool me, the old man, are you?" Chen Rutang smiled and stared at Li Xin.

Li Xin quickly patted his chest and assured, "Dean’s kindness to me, of course, I must repay well. If this succeeds, it will surely elevate our Serene Canon Law School to another level."

"Good, always keep Serene in your heart, go ahead, do it boldly, anything you need, just find me. As long as the Celestial Principle School doesn’t change their mind, I’ll deal with that old fool Divine Revelation myself, watch me curse him out!" Chen Rutang said firmly.

Looking at the enthusiastic Dean Chen, still full of fighting spirit at his age, he looked as if he had both new and old grievances with the other side.

Life at Serene Canon Law School is quite comfortable. Dean Chen appears to be very protective of his students. The atmosphere at Black Rose is also good. Bai Peng is overly enthusiastic, making the few vice presidents give him strange looks. Plus, Lu Shuai and Huerta are here, which can be described as leisurely. But Li Xin realized he can no longer enjoy such a laid-back life.

His mind is filled with thoughts about Shadow Owl. It’s clear Captain Jiang and the others don’t trust him. Shadow Owl is obviously handling a big case, with everyone busy, even seemingly relaxed Meng Po is effectively the caretaker, gathering intelligence and connecting everyone, while Li Xin, the deputy captain, is idle.

Looking back over recent situations, there’s been no inappropriate behavior. The point of misunderstanding seems to be youth, parachuting in, and juggling between the Canon Law School and Night Patrol. The Canon Law School doesn’t favor Night Patrol, and Night Patrol doesn’t favor Canon Law School either. Both sides feel they’re not the same type of people. Maybe there were hints from Sister Kathy, thinking from a different angle, if he were in Jiang Wu’s position, he might choose to keep him this way too.

Sigh, it’s uncomfortable, even Lu Shuai is involved while he remains an outsider. This guy has eyes glued to beauty and a friedship forgotten. Doesn’t he know a good brother lasts a lifetime.
