Chapter 71: Chapter 66: In the End, Still Given to the Wrong Person

Back at the Church, the clergy showed a rare excitement. This action was a great encouragement for the Church, boosting morale.

Luo Jin was somewhat regretful, “Just a little bit more, I didn’t expect Zhao Xun to be so decisive.”

“It’s not too surprising, it’s not easy to topple him, but there’s some gain. With Montreal’s death, the key transportation channels are now vacant. We need to find a way to compete, we can’t let it fall into Zhao Xun’s hands again,” Matthew said.

“The last bloodline of the Lin Family, Lin Fei and her daughter Lin Xueyin, are in the city. Should we return their property?” Luo Jin said.

Matthew smiled, “Your idea is good, but have you considered that it would only harm the orphan mother? Maintaining the current situation is their best outcome. Zhao Xun will not give up easily, nor will he let the Night Patrol intervene. Our best scenario is for a third party close to us to take it, cutting off his leg first.”

Luo Jin was silent for a while, considering the state of the world, “Yes, sir, at least we’ve achieved something.”

Matthew smiled, “Putting you in the Canon Law School was a move that kept them careless, but after this, Zhao Xun will be more cautious. The other two councilmen need to be investigated more thoroughly, as we have few leads.”

“I’ve already had someone keep an eye on it. Zhao Xun shouldn’t interfere with the mayoral election, at the very least.”

“You’re underestimating Zhao Xun; he won’t care and will definitely make a comeback. But thanks to you, my promotion to Archbishop shouldn’t be a problem,” Matthew laughed.

“You should have been promoted long ago.” A rare smile appeared on Luo Jin’s face. In terms of seniority and ability, Matthew has stayed in this position for too long.

The improvement in faith in the Celestial Capital isn’t much due to Matthew, but because the capital is mostly made up of Beijing people who believe in the Martial God, and more anciently, the Ancient Dragon. Under Governor Luthor’s administration, even though there were conveniences given to the Moon God Church, changing deeply rooted beliefs is easier said than done. What the Grand Governor truly cares for is Hex-Tech, promoting Hex-Tech under the banner of the Canon Law School across the Dao Yuan Continent.

The Montreal incident this time is indeed a significant achievement with a great impact. Along with subsequent reports, it will surely boost faith, and the Church Court can no longer ignore it.

“Caught in a trance, nothing will change too drastically,” Matthew laughed. “Ultimately, there’s a debt to the Lin Family. Bring those two children to me for a baptism. Whether they receive any response depends on their fortune.”

Luo Jin nodded, this was a blessing. A bishop can perform baptisms for devotees, but only truly senior bishops have the ability to pray for the Moon God’s blessing to descend. If they’re lucky enough to receive a blessing, it will provide great protection. Those who are favored by divine destiny will also become favored by the deities, receiving protection from all Moon God Churches across the Dao Yuan Continent, as long as they’re not utterly wicked.

Meanwhile, Li Xin did not return to the Canon Law School but was taken shopping by his aunt.

Kathy was so delighted; from the clicking of her small leather shoes, you could feel it. It’s been a long time since she’s been this happy.

“Old Luo knows best, you wouldn’t believe how dashing he was heading towards Montreal, majestic and unyielding, facing global pressure and skepticism, rooting out the corrupt in the council, and achieving great success again this time!”

The Little Rich Lady was this happy, so Li Xin was also very pleased, hoping for a few golden lira as a reward, as he hadn’t even seen what they looked like yet.

“I didn’t expect there were two councilmen, seems the waters are deep. Is Uncle Luo getting promoted?”

“The Chief Bishop should be promoted this time, but Old Luo is out of luck,” Kathy shook her head but didn’t mind.

“Ah, no way; I don’t see what the Chief Bishop did?” Li Xin didn’t know about Chief Bishops, but Luo Jin was a big player, and he hoped for Uncle Luo to go up a level, not to let his efforts go to waste.

“Old Luo came from the Night Patrol. Reaching this position is already the pinnacle, and he just entered the Canon Law School not long ago. Already in a high-ranking position, any move up would bring greater criticism and attacks.”

Kathy’s background and the experience over the years have made her adept at these matters, but it didn’t damper her good mood. She knew Luo Jin didn’t care about such things; as long as the Chief Bishop stood above him, he was content working below.

There was another thing Kathy didn’t mention: Luo Jin is a commoner, and for a commoner to reach this position is already quite impressive. It’s only possible after Governor Luthor’s reforms. Going further without monumental achievements is impossible, and it would definitely lead to becoming ennobled. Currently, in Rylone, downgrading a title is easy, but promotion is extremely difficult.

Li Xin was just a sidekick. Kathy was familiar with Treasure Workshop like it was the back of her hand. Li Xin thought she could navigate it with her eyes closed. The staff immediately recognized Kathy when she entered, smiling like red gramophones; everyone knew her, as she exuded an air of affluence. Especially today, as Miss Kathy’s mood was exceptionally good.

“This, this, and this,” Kathy said, glancing at Li Xin. Li Xin took a look at the price, his eyes going blank, realizing this wasn’t a place appropriate for his salary.

“These three aren’t needed, and… this one isn’t needed either, it’s too ugly. Who designed this? Pack the others up and deliver them to Triumph Street, 5-17.” The Little Rich Lady waved her hand fancily.

The store staff beamed with smiles, and the manager immediately bowed, “Miss Kathy, we’ll take this item off the shelves immediately. Your insight is our design standard.”

Li Xin was envious; he’s never lived so lavishly in two lifetimes, dreaming of experiencing this. Watching the Little Rich Lady’s natural demeanor, he felt a sense of admiration.

“Ahem, Sister Kathy, this is too extravagant,” Li Xin still hesitated, tugging against his conscience.

“This is your reward for doing a great job. Besides, Sister Fei and little Xueyin also need new clothes,” Kathy was in high spirits. “The furniture needs to be refreshed too.”

Li Xin’s gaze fell on a chair, “This chair is nice; it’s just what Xueyin needs for her studies.”

The manager glanced at Kathy and immediately beamed, “No problem, we will deliver it to you as a gift.”

“Oh, is that so? You see, without the chair, keeping this desk doesn’t really fit. How about, we take it together?” Li Xin grinned at the manager. The desk looked quite exquisite and was quite large, allowing Xueyin to be more comfortable.

The manager was taken aback; the chair was one thing, but the desk was a customized expensive redwood. But with Kathy’s gaze on her for less than a second, countless spasms and struggles crossed the manager’s mind. Fixated as her gaze was, in an instant, the manager was all smiles, “Certainly, no problem, I’ll move it promptly.”

Saying this, she no longer glanced at Li Xin, feeling that looking again would lead her directly to redecorating his home.

“Let’s go; on to the next shop, we’ll get you a set as well. You’re at least a student in the Canon Law School now, can’t be looking dowdy.”

Li Xin didn’t necessarily want to refuse, rather hoping to cash out, considering for a long time but not daring to speak, after all, it was free.

The carriage at Kathy’s front was already loaded with quite a lot, “Shopping can make a gloomy mood relax and double a joyful mood.”

Li Xin agreed, you’re the rich lady, you have the final say.

“Ah Xin, what method did you use to make those Inhalers reveal themselves?” Kathy curiously asked. She didn’t know what backup plan Luo Jin had, but Li Xin’s sudden assistance indeed minimized the risk.

“Sister Kathy, I asked a friend to help; it involves safety, and I was told to keep it secret. But if Kathy really wants to know, I can…”

“No need, I was just asking casually,” Kathy waved it off.

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief; both the Little Rich Lady and Miss Aries were good people. Later, he should really thank Miss Aries properly, though he didn’t know what he had that could show his gratitude, he needed to think hard about it.

Kathy smiled as her charming eyes twinkled, “By the way, do you have… any more advanced tricks?”

“Huh?” Li Xin was confused, not understanding.

“That one!” Kathy gave Li Xin a knowing look.

But Li Xin really didn’t understand.

“Old Luo, lately there hasn’t been much progress, yet today he’s in a good mood,” Kathy suggested. “He’s in such a great mood today, you’d better go strong.”

Kathy’s thought process jumped a bit, and Li Xin didn’t catch on immediately. After a moment, he realized, “Oh, Sister Kathy, you know, there’s been all sorts of big things recently. We have to stick to the plan we originally set, focus on consistency, and let him gradually get used to your presence. Win him over without him even realizing.”

The Little Rich Lady’s eyes suddenly brightened as she glanced at Li Xin, “Get off the carriage!”
