Chapter 444: Chapter 36: Lucky Li Xin

Mordo and Filson exchanged a glance and agreed with the principle, understanding that they needed a long-term partnership built on integrity and perseverance.

Mordo had already made his decision when he turned to Lin Fei, “Journalist Lin, you just mentioned ’Unity of Knowledge and Action,’ how do you interpret it?”

Everyone looked at Lin Fei; ’Unity of Knowledge and Action’ has many interpretations, and each person has their own understanding. However, Lin Fei knew that no matter what she said, it was impossible to reach great heights, nor was she expected to repeat what she just mentioned.

Is it knowing and then acting?

It seemed reckless to speak so casually. Under Mordo’s gaze, Lin Fei felt the pressure—how should she respond?

“Unity of Knowledge and Action is a part of Heart Learning, of great wisdom, where those with insight can gain sudden enlightenment and ascend to a divine state.” Under everyone’s gaze, Lin Fei blurted out, recalling Li Xin’s casual remarks in the kitchen. As soon as she spoke, she regretted it, fearing she had missed her last opportunity, planning to reprimand Li Xin later.

However, after she spoke, the entire conference hall fell into an odd silence, with the two Three-star Grandmasters seemingly frozen. No one spoke, and the atmosphere turned somewhat bizarre, with expressions tinged with solemnity and peculiarity. One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Lin Fei felt herself breaking into a sweat, and Jina was also very nervous. Everyone was waiting, sensing that the director was contemplating, about to render a final verdict.

Ao Yi remained self-assured, even giving Jina a provocative look. He thought everyone was talking nonsense; he knew arguing theories would only invite ridicule, so he approached it from a market perspective, playing a family card—he wasn’t sure how he could lose!

This woman wants to compete with me? She needs more practice!

Director Mordo stood up and walked towards Lin Fei, staring at her, seemingly trying to discern something. “Journalist Lin, persistence is most important in any path. I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant.”

Jina and Lin Fei were prepared for a “but,” yet it never came.

“Director Mordo, are you saying you want to cooperate with our Citizen Daily?” Jina asked incredulously.

“Yes, Editor Jina, we hope this journalist Lin Fei can fully manage the liaison with our Celestial Principle School. I feel there is a fateful connection between us,” Mordo said with a smile. The appreciation from the Three-star Chief Grandmaster was like a refreshing breeze. “Scholar Zhuang, see off the four guests, and continue to follow up on subsequent matters. We need patience on both sides of this collaboration, including the Celestial Institute.”

Zhuang Zhidong responded with courtesy, though slightly puzzled, as Lin Fei’s answer was evidently unclear. He simply felt that Journalist Lin was more sincere and persistent, which prompted him to assist.

After leaving the Celestial Institute, Lin Fei and Jina expressed their gratitude to Zhuang Zhidong, who waved them off with a smile. “I only spoke honestly, and I also hope your newspaper demonstrates professionalism and consistent perseverance in future actions. If not suitable, we will also consider changes.”

“Rest assured, Scholar Zhuang, we will give it our all!” Lin Fei and Jina could hardly contain their smiles—the smile of a beauty is truly healing. Zhuang Zhidong also returned the smile and then returned to the Celestial Institute, not wanting to miss anything crucial.

Ao Yi was indignant and completely unconvinced, his face almost twisted in anger. As soon as they met, he exclaimed, “Jina, Jina, did you do some underhanded trickery or favoritism?”

“Ao Yi, losing is losing, making excuses is unbecoming of a gentleman,” Jina relished in her newfound satisfaction, having been oppressed by Ao Yi for so long, usually losing more than winning, especially in key cases where she had consistently faced defeat. This time, she had made a thrilling comeback.

“Losing? This is just the beginning. The Celestial Principle School’s audience is relatively small, and that group won’t significantly boost newspaper sales,” Ao Yi stated.

“Editor Ao, we pursue not only sales but also quality, the quality of a newspaper,” Lin Fei said. “And Celestial Principle Study can well represent the essence of a newspaper, don’t you agree?”

Ao Yi opened his mouth, looking at Lin Fei, who was open and charming. “Journalist Lin, the doors of Justice Daily are always open to you.”

“Ao Yi, this is the second time; do you really think I don’t exist? I’ll kick you to death!” Jina exclaimed angrily. Lin Fei was her treasure, and this guy was courting trouble.

Ao Yi dodged Jina’s feeble attack, nonchalantly shrugged, and boarded the carriage with Lanumajin. In the carriage, Ao Yi angrily pounded the cabin. The opportunity had slipped away, and he couldn’t even figure out why. “Lanumajin, what nonsense, did Lin Fei make sense?”

Lanumajin looked puzzled. “I feel she doesn’t quite understand; I’m not sure either.”

Listening to the muffled thuds coming from the carriage, Jina’s face broke into a bright smile. She took Lin Fei’s hand, “We definitely need to celebrate today!”

Lin Fei felt as if a heavy burden had lifted, “Sister Na, shouldn’t we finalize things before celebrating in case of any changes?”

“Relax, Sister Na, Director Mordo is a significant figure in the Celestial Principle School—a promise from him is like gold, and he won’t go back on his word. Even if someone could make him change his mind, we couldn’t do anything about it; reaching this point, no one could say otherwise!” Jina laughed, “Though Ao Yi may be uneducated, he is clever. The theories of the Celestial Principle School are difficult for the average person to understand, but it elevates our newspaper’s stature. We still need strategies for sales; Feibird is a strong competitor lately.”

“Sister Na, let’s just celebrate for now.”

At the Celestial Institute, in the conference hall.

Since the four left, the conference hall remained in a peculiar silence. Upon Zhuang Zhidong’s return, he stood quietly in the corner, not daring to disturb.

After a long while, Mordo spoke, “Before I came, I visited the Demigod, who only said one sentence.”

Everyone looked at Mordo. In the Celestial Principle School, there are two great figures. One is the Demigod Vladimir, whose ascension to godhood undoubtedly bolstered the Celestial Principle School’s confidence, proving that the Celestial Principle School is correct and in accordance with the law. The other is the enigmatic Saint who facilitates everything.

“The Celestial Principle School was born in Hedan, blooming in the Dragon Capital.”

For a moment, everyone in the conference hall was filled with emotion. What an honor and recognition, yet… why?

“Are you saying what Ms. Lin said is the truth?” Filson asked.

“Heart Learning!”

Mordo’s gaze was distant, seemingly traversing through time. He had thought the Demigod’s words were merely encouragement for his coming to the Dragon Capital. He was somewhat reluctant, as Hedan was the stronghold of the Celestial Principle School. However, he knew that overseas expansion required someone with weight, and James and Kundra were barely managing the affairs of Moncalleta, certainly overstretched. To all in the Celestial Institute, this seemed like a ’sacrifice.’ Now, he realized it was an opportunity.

He finally discovered the true name of the Celestial Principle—Heart Learning.
