Chapter 283: Chapter 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."

"My parents are in that room over there. If you go, Uncle Biao, say hi to Zheng Lan so she can help open the door," Li Yi said.

"Alright, I got it." Uncle Biao greeted and then left.

"Li Yi." At that moment, someone else called out from the first floor.

Li Yi looked toward the source of the voice and saw Lv Jue waving at him from beside a sofa in the not-too-distant hall.

"Lv Jue." His expression changed slightly, and he walked over.

Soon, Li Yi realized that Lv Jue had not come alone this time; there were a group of Cultivators with him, including Kong Sheng who had helped him deal with Ning Wu, Zhao Xiaoxiao whom he had worked with, and Cheng Pingfang and others whom he had helped save in the danger zone. Among these Cultivators, there were Spirit Mediums and those with inspiration, their abilities varied.

But all of them had some connection with Li Yi.

"Li Yi," said the group, greeting him as he approached.

"Hello, everyone," Li Yi nodded, acknowledging them.

"Li Yi, there is something I want to discuss with you," Lv Jue spoke up.

"What is it?" Li Yi asked.

"With the current situation, if we Cultivators act as a loose sand, we won’t be able to accomplish anything. So I talked with them beforehand, and they expressed their willingness to invest in you. They hope you can get into Golden Academy and become a Cross-border... But we don’t know if you would agree," Lv Jue said straightforwardly.

"Invest in Li Yi? That’s great, but we’re not short on money. If you really want to invest, you’ll have to put forth significant effort, and there’s a risk involved. It could be fatal if things go wrong," Lin Yue approached and said seriously, her eyes flashing with earnestness. "You all know the situation. The whole of Tian Chang City is seeking important people to invest in, including Li Shaqing, Yang Yilong, and the agents from the investigation bureau like Gu Mengping and Master Pete who have the most people investing in them because they are the strongest and have the best chance to become Cross-borders and earn high returns."

"However, Li Yi also has huge potential, it’s just that he’s still growing and improving, so he’s not seen in a good light by many. But I believe Li Yi will stand out. So if you’re just trying this out, I’d advise you to forget it. Otherwise, we might end up not even being able to remain friends," Lin Yue added.

Lin Yue was happy that people were willing to invest in Li Yi, but she didn’t want them to invest with just a trial-and-error attitude because, in the current climate, that was definitely not okay.

"Lin Yue, of course, we understand what it means to invest. It’s easy to add flowers to the brocade, but much harder to send coal in snowy weather. By investing in Li Yi at this time, we are sending coal," said Fang Hang, the Cultivator, seriously. "To be honest, if it weren’t for Li Yi, it wouldn’t just be my arm I lost in the danger zone, it would have been my life."

"Li Yi saved me and helped me out. Now that he’s competing for a place at the Golden Academy, I really want to help him," he continued.

"Since we’ve offered to invest in Li Yi, we’re naturally prepared to go all in," said Cheng Pingfang earnestly.

As a woman, Zhao Xiaoxiao also spoke very seriously, "Lin Yue, I know you’re a Spiritual Perception Master, and you might look down on us ordinary Cultivators, but I understand Li Yi’s potential even better. When I worked for Yang Yilong, I wanted to invest in Li Yi but was rejected back then. However, my thoughts have not changed," she continued.

Turning to Li Yi, she added, "I’ve saved up twenty million from the beginning until now, and this time I plan to put it all in to support you, hoping you won’t think it’s too little."
