Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

"Ms. Li, Mr. Jiang, I, Lambert, cannot shirk my responsibility for this matter. I will repay your kindness with action. No matter what you ask for, just ask." He turned to Jiang Nan, "Mr. Jiang, regarding the contract between us, I am willing to give up another two percentage points as an apology."

Jiangnan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Two percentage points?"

The amounts involved in their agreement were enormous; two percentage points could mean hundreds of millions in profits.

"That's right." Lambert said without hesitation.

Who would have thought that they were still arguing over one percentage point at the negotiating table a few days ago.

Lambert then said to Li Li, "Miss Li, what are your plans?" He left the decision to her.

"I'm just a worldly person who loves wealth." Since he is rich, why doesn't she take the opportunity to ask for some money? It just so happens that the company also needs capital injection.

Li Li held up a finger and said, "One hundred million, isn't that too much?"

"Of course." Lambert stared, took out a checkbook of Chinese currency from the inside pocket of his suit, and wrote down a string of numbers.

Li Li took it and saw a seven in front of a string of zeros. After a brief silence, she raised her eyes and asked, "Are you not good at arithmetic?"

"One hundred million dollars. You deserve it." Lambert responded with a smile.

Indeed, she almost paid the price with her life for it. A mere 100 million was far less than her value. Li Li accepted the check with peace of mind.

"I have instructed other doctors about the follow-up care and precautions. They will report to me daily on the patient's condition. In about half a month, I will come back to check on his recovery progress so that I can set a date for the next treatment."

Lambert was more focused than when discussing a 10 billion dollar deal. "I see."

"I will seek justice from the Stuart family for what happened today." At this moment, even if Jeffrey tried to stop him, he would never back down.

Jiangnan’s eyes were deep, Stuart, this page has not been turned over yet.

"Tomorrow morning, I will arrange a special plane to escort you back to your homeland." Lambert didn't want any more accidents to happen.

"Ok."

It was late at night, and even a heart of stone could not stand the long-term fatigue. For safety reasons, Li Li and Jiang Nan did not return to the hotel, but stayed at Jeffrey's manor.

The next day, the two men, having recovered their spirits, boarded a private airship decorated with the Redmayne family crest and set off in high spirits.

Seven days later, the airship landed at the Sky Harbor in the capital. After saying goodbye to Jiangnan, the long-lost Yang Xiao appeared in front of her in casual clothes as if he had fallen from the sky.

Yang Xiao: "Miss Li, someone is waiting for you."

"You're always elusive." Li Li was not nervous. She expected the research institute to come looking for her, but she didn't expect them to be so anxious and actually stop her at the airport.

"let's go."

Li Li stepped into the special car and after driving for a while, she frowned and asked, "Aren't we going to the research institute?"

"The mysterious ruler is waiting for you at home." Yang Xiao responded solemnly.

The ruler? Waiting for her at home? Li Li stared at the magical forest outside the window, and her heart was filled with ripples.

Passing through layers of magical barriers, the carriage quietly drove into the manor guarded by a powerful wizard and stopped in front of a double-story stone castle standing in the moonlight.

"Come in." Yang Xiao led her to the door and stepped aside. The gatekeeper went in to report.

When Li Li entered the stone castle, Li Biting had just finished preparing a cup of magic tea. Seeing her coming, he immediately showed a warm smile, "Xiao Li is here? Please take a seat."

Li Li said respectfully: "Hello, Lord Governor."

She had recognized the person in front of her. He was the highest governor of the capital, the dean of the Magic Academy, and a familiar face in "Magic Chronicles". It was hard not to recognize him.

Li Li has great respect for him as he has dedicated himself to the country since ancient times.

Li Biting smiled and said, "I specially called you to my home because I hope the atmosphere will be more relaxed and we can chat casually."

"Okay." Since he said that, Li Li relaxed and sat on the carved sofa.

"First of all, congratulations on your outstanding performance in the magic competition. You have won great honor for the country. Your magic speech was also excellent." Li Biting expressed high praise for her achievements.

"Thank you for your compliment, Lord Archon."

"Were you frightened by what happened yesterday?" Li Biting changed the subject and asked with concern. When he heard Yang Xiao's report about Li Li's ambush last night, his heart did tremble.

"With the people you sent to guard me, I feel very safe. How could I be frightened?" Li Li smiled and did not show any surprise that Li Biting knew her whereabouts.

"That's good." Li Biting handed over a cup of steaming hot tea, "Try it, this is the best Chunlei Longjing tea, picked in the early morning."

Looking at the tea leaves bubbling in the purple clay cup, Li Li took a sip. "It's bright green, the buds and leaves are blooming, the taste is soft, and the flavor is elegant. It's really a treasure."

Li Biting's eyes sparkled with surprise: "You know how to taste tea? Not many young people today know this art."

"I know a little bit."

Li Biting laughed and said, "You." How could he not know that Li Li's modesty was just a polite remark.

The amazing thing is that when two people who have never met each other meet for the first time, there is no sense of strangeness or awkwardness. Instead, they get along well like old friends who have not seen each other for a long time.

"Tell me, how did you realize that you were protected? You are really alert, little girl."

Li Biting was still smiling, as if he was just asking casually, but Li Li's heart tightened. This question was tricky. If the answer was that he had noticed it a long time ago, why didn't he say it before? Had he been on guard against them? If the answer was that he just discovered it, how did he notice it?

Li Li's thoughts raced for only a moment, and she smiled and replied, "Since she looks so outstanding, it's only natural that I should be a little more vigilant! Besides, their magician aura is hard to conceal no matter how hard they try. If I think about it, I can understand that they are doing it to protect me. Could it be that they have some secrets because of a little girl like me?"

Li Li calmly threw the question back to him...

"In this mysterious world, there are people who praise their own beauty. Little girl, you are really interesting." Li Biting smiled helplessly, "Besides, you have more than one shining point in you. There is no need to be too modest." His words hinted at his admiration for her.

"Okay, I heard that you have a surprise for us when you come back. What secret is it? Don't hide it anymore." Li Biting stopped beating around the bush and asked directly about the key point.

The surprise he mentioned came from the news that Li Li told Fu Wen and passed on to the higher-ups.

"Thank you for your attention, Dean. I'm sure you also know that Lord Jiang, the young man who was trained at the Starry Base, has joined the Sky Falcon program."

Li Biting nodded. This was exactly the decision he approved.

Li Li continued, "You know, the Sky Falcon is about the exploration of the star sea, and when Jiang Hou was in the experimental group, I discovered a new type of magic material that has significant advantages in speed, durability, cost and safety. It's just that due to the lack of sufficient experimental evidence, and Jiang Hou is about to participate in international competitions, I didn't mention it."

Li Biting was shocked, his eyes were as sharp as a tiger, and the teacup he held tightly was shaking, "Are you serious?"

Li Li smiled calmly and nodded, "It's absolutely true."

"That's great! That's great! That's great!" Li Biting said three times in a row, feeling extremely excited. He didn't expect the surprise Li Li mentioned was so great, which made him surprised and happy.

"You are truly a treasure, kid. If China had more young talents like you, the road to rejuvenation would be glorious."

China has a brilliant history of 5,000 years and has always stood tall in the East. Although its brilliance has dimmed in the past century, China is now on the rise. Although there is still a long way to go, if there are more talents like Li Li, the moment of revival will surely come soon!

Li Biting drank the tea in his cup in one gulp. "This matter is extremely important. Once successful, it will have far-reaching significance. I will contact the sage immediately, still at the Blue City First Research Institute that you are familiar with. This time your identity must be officially established, and those undeserved invited experts will be forgotten."

"Is this...appropriate? I'm still a high school student." Li Li knows very well that those who stand out are easily envied.

"Are you just a high school student?" Li Biting asked back, "There's nothing inappropriate about that. You've always silenced people with your strength. I believe in you. Besides, with us behind you, who dares to criticize you?"

Li Li smiled brightly, "I feel relieved when you say that."

"Okay, you are setting a trap for me!" Li Biting suddenly realized.

"No way, I didn't." Li Li denied.

"You, you!" Li Biting laughed loudly. The interaction between the old and the young was very harmonious.

Yang Xiao, who was waiting outside the door, was secretly surprised that the usually serious leader was so happy. He wondered what Miss Li talked about with the leader. While he was thinking, he heard the leader calling him, and he hurriedly responded and went in.

"Dean!" Yang Xiao's voice was full and respectful.

"From this moment on, you will accompany Li Li into the magic city of Lancheng. Once I obtain permission from the high-ranking Mage Council, Li Li will become a licensed magic apprentice assistant of the Lancheng Mystery Research Institute. Your duty is to ensure her safety. Any abnormalities must be reported to your superiors. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Yang Xiao responded firmly with a solemn expression and a precise magical etiquette.

Assistant to a magic apprentice? Yang Xiao's heart surged. This was a real intermediate magician, equivalent to a magic instructor at a higher school. You know, Li Li was just a freshman at the magic academy with no magic degree and no public research results, but she was able to receive this honor, which was rare.

Yang Xiao secretly speculated that perhaps the dean intended to promote her to a higher level, but gave up because Li Li's magical aptitude was not enough.

"I don't want a tragedy like Lugo's to happen again. Any abnormalities must be told to me immediately." Li Biting still has lingering fears when recalling it.

"Please rest assured, I will do my best!" Yang Xiao was startled. Thinking of the urgent information Fu Wen conveyed yesterday, he was also scared.

At this time, Fu Wen and others were still in Lugo dealing with the aftermath. They informed the local media of the incident. Although Fu Wen and others arrived late and failed to witness Li Li performing magical defense, in their hearts, Li Li was undoubtedly a victim worthy of sympathy.
