Chapter 76: Summoning Begins
Days passed in a blink of an eye. Before knowing it was already September Tenth.
In the main teaching building of Beland Imperial College, Su Ling was attending a class intently.
Sitting in the back row with a pen in her hand, she was taking notes keenly, but upon closer inspection, one could see her drawing circles in her notebook.
Even though she was physically present, her mind had long drifted away from the lessons, and it was filled with Bute’s family.
Lately, she followed Shen Yi’s clues and confirmed that the person from the Bute family released the invisible technique and took the old man’s life.
The Earl of Bute’s family regained his health recently. Not only was he looking radiant, he was also kicking fine. And he was also said to be going to take part in this upcoming election, but the probability of winning was not high.
This Earl was also a big shot in society…
But when she thought of the old cany seller who gave her sweets when she was a child, she felt distressed.
He was already buried deep down and at his funeral, except for Su Ling no relatives or friends attended.
The old candy seller who always had a smile on his face died with no one to care about except for Su Ling… In this big city where desires run rampant, he was just a small, insignificant person. And she was determined ‘to continue the investigation.’
Su Ling silently thought in her heart, ‘If, one day, I’ll die, who will attend my funeral?’ several figures crossed her mind, and finally the vague shadow of the cafe owner appeared.
‘I’m afraid that guy will take my soul back, resurrect it like George, and continue working for him.’
Just as she was thinking wildly, a voice sounded beside her saying: “The new Beland campaign speech has begun, and I wonder who will be elected…”
It was Demi; she was a friend she had recently made, and they were in the same grade.
She was unique and trendy and a well-known person. After getting along, she became very concerned about her situation, which made Su Ling, who had no friends since childhood, instantly “break the defense”.
“You still care about this?” Su Ling turned her head and asked strangely.
In her opinion, most of her classmates care about studying, followed by dating, or variety shows and fashion trends.
Totally not in the same world as her.
Demi nodded her head in response: “Well, my father is very concerned. He is working in the government department.”
Demi talked about her father to Su Ling a lot, saying that he was not low-ranking, and how he worked hard to climb to the position he was today, which was inspiring.
Demi admired her father very much… Su Ling vaguely listen and also remembered that she also had a nominal position in the government, which seemed to be a step above Demi’s father.
She slouched down on the table and stretched vigorously.
If she worked hard for a few more years, she could get a house in the central area of Beland, which she looked forward to. Most people could not afford it even if they work hard for a lifetime.
Although there was still a place to live now.
“That student, please listen carefully and answer the question just now.” The teacher’s eagle-like eyes accurately caught the lazy person sitting in the back row.
Ah… Su Ling’s eyes widened, and she froze on the spot.
——
Cafe.
Shen Yi sat behind the bar, calmly flipping through the newspaper in his hand.
“The campaign speeches have already begun. This time the highest rating candidate is an older man, and the second highest candidate is actually a young man in his thirties…Compared to the former, he is really young.”
While muttering, he glance at the service area, where Tina was carefully cleaning up the table.
Very diligent staff, but unfortunately she could only work part-time and cannot be a regular employee.
In Shen Yi’s mind, it was Tina’s only drawback — she received very little pay, and most of what she earned went towards mystical knowledge, but she was truly dedicated to her work.
“Anyway, I’d like to praise Yare here …… Your soul ball is just too good!”
In fact, Shen Yi also knew one thing: Tina didn’t lose money but made money instead.
There were lots of powerful people in the world who were earning occult knowledge. If he sold Yare’s occult knowledge, they would pay a fortune for it, but Tina could “overload meals” without paying a penny, which will make the power elite envious of tears.
It’s just he didn’t know how to sell it… It’s just there was no channel yet, maybe, he really had to find a way to please Chris, even if doing so would make the status of the envoy lose “style”.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and had a good idea.
“By the way, I can say that it is not that I am short of money, but that my apprentice Tina has been short of money recently.”
That’s a great idea!
Shen Yi was so excited that he couldn’t help himself, even when obtaining the extraordinary power he wasn’t this happy because he knew that he could earn a lot of money by cashing in mystic items and knowledge.
“It’s really good to unfold.”
His face was unconsciously cheerful, and while he was dreaming about it, an oncoming person fell into his line of sight.
Aina.
