Chapter 283 - 195: Investment and Peril
At this moment, the first floor of the Peace Finance Building was crowded with people, all relatives and friends who didn’t want to pack up and leave Tianchang City with their families. So they chose to seek shelter here to avoid the dangers that might befall them at night.
"Li Yi, you’ve really become someone to be proud of recently, not bad at all. If your dad knew how capable you’ve become, he would be so relieved. This time Uncle Biao really benefited from your light; otherwise, I wouldn’t know where to hide these days. I don’t understand what Lin Yue was thinking, suddenly selling the house in AnDing District and now she has nowhere to go either."
Upon seeing Li Yi, Uncle Biao immediately greeted him warmly.
"Don’t say that, Uncle Biao. We’re all acquaintances here; it’s right to help each other out. But you said Sister Lin sold her house in AnDing District? What’s that about? How come I didn’t know?" Li Yi said, a bit surprised.
Lin Yue came over and said, "Don’t listen to Uncle’s nonsense, that never happened. I’ve always rented in AnDing District, how could I afford to buy?"
She didn’t want Li Yi to know that she had sold the house in AnDing District to buy the Guiding Skill.
Only then did Uncle Biao realize, remembering that Lin Yue had instructed him not to talk about it. He quickly slapped his forehead and said, "Right, right, renting. Maybe it’s because I’ve just awakened as a Spirit Medium and seen too many unclean things, so my mind’s a bit muddled, and I got it wrong."
Li Yi looked at Uncle Biao and then at Lin Yue, finally saying, "Is that so? Somehow I feel like there’s something you’re hiding from me, Uncle Biao."
"Why would I? You’re overthinking it, Li Yi. You should discuss the next task with Lin Yue instead," Uncle Biao said with a smile. "As for the old city district, I can’t help you with that. I’m going to chat with your dad. I saw in the news recently that quite a few Silent Ones have been awakening one after another. I don’t know if your dad might wake up soon, but if he does, I’d still like to have a drink with him."
