The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

I completed half of the task and then went home. Does this count as giving up halfway?

The employees of Caiyun Catering have been absent-minded at work in the past two days.

The company finally organized a team-building activity, but before everyone could enjoy themselves, nothing came of it.

“I don’t know what happened to the insurance salesman.”

"Brother Li is really something. He just said he doesn't care anymore!"

While others were still struggling with this matter, an earthquake occurred in the Sage City.

When people living in the city woke up early in the morning, they were surprised to find that the roads were under martial law.

Countless city guards came and went, and ordinary people were not allowed to go out.

With such a big thing happening, only a fool would go out. With such a big excitement, it would be a loss if you don’t take a look.

Before long, all the residences in the city, whether high-rise or low-rise, were like anemones on a coral reef, with bodies larger than their heads sticking out.

"What happened?"

No one knows the cause or process of the incident, and as for the result, only a few people know.

On the main road of Sage City, a team of knights riding dragon-blood war horses galloped past.

Several military vehicles followed behind, and teams of elite knights guarded the left and right.

A big shot is coming.

But no one saw who the big shot was.

The people in the city only knew that after half a day of martial law, the Sage City resumed normal operations.

There were just more soldiers standing guard at the doors of some departments, and some people were forcibly taken away.

Several companies and businesses lost their management, and employees went to work as usual, only to find that their leaders were missing.

This incident caused a sensation, but no one knew the details.

Such changes, happening in the information-rich Sage City, are truly shocking.

Rumors spread faster than the speed of light, and the news soon reached the college and reached everyone's ears.

"The Grand Duke has really taken action. Is this to regain control of Sage City?"

"I'm more concerned about how the insurance sales are doing than this."

"Ask Brother Li, maybe he knows."

Brother Li, as everyone called him, was busy in the kitchen as if nothing had happened.

Lian was also busy.

"Li, I came here specifically to thank you. Thank you for the clues you provided. My family has regained control of some of the city guards."

"You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, you can go to Mother Teresa and everyone who contributed to this."

Li was speaking the truth because he really didn't spend much effort on this matter.

But Lian understood that without Li's coordination and decision-making at critical moments, the investigation of the Sage City would never happen to her family.

The Grand Duke, who had been gradually eroded, expanded his influence for the first time. This was a special signal, indicating that the Grand Duke would no longer swallow his anger.

"…Lee, my father wants to see you."

"Your father? His Excellency the Archduke?"

Li didn't expect that the Grand Council would directly invite him.

It seems that the information provided by Hart is richer than he imagined.

"We'll talk about it when we have a chance. I'm a necromancer, and it's not wise to involve the Archduke with me."

Li refused. Lian bit her lip, feeling unwilling.

Lian is a rather conceited girl. Among all the peers she has met, there are only a few as outstanding as Li that can be counted on one hand.

Lian hopes to have a good communication with Li, but Li always keeps a distance from her deliberately.

He clearly touched someone's waist and drooled on her face.

When Lian thought of this, she felt very depressed.

"Why do you always distance yourself from me?"

Hearing Lian ask this, Li was also stunned for a moment.

Lian's current state is quite like that of a little girl, which is completely different from her cold and aloof self in the past.

"Well, I think it's better to make some things clear. I don't have any special feelings for you, and I hope Miss Lian won't take it too seriously."

Lian was not satisfied with Li's response.

You were the one who flirted with me first, and now you said you're not interested anymore. What do you think I am?

In Lian's opinion, Li is a playboy. Although you say you are not interested, your eyes are always looking at her.

"Is my family causing you trouble?"

"Not really. You know my strength. I don't care about your family's troubles at all..."

"Really? Then why don't you respond to me directly!"

"What I did just now wasn't considered a positive response? Do you really want me to say it bluntly?"

Seeing Lian being aggressive, Li became a little angry.

It was his fault before as he was a little naughty, but after that, Li has known how to keep his distance from each other.

And Li could feel that Lian was more grateful for his emotions than anything else.

Li didn't want to delay a girl like Lian, so as to avoid getting entangled.

"Lilith!"

In order to completely get rid of the entanglement, Li directly released his ultimate move.

Lilith came over inexplicably, not knowing what Li and Lian were arguing about.

"Brother Li?"

After Lilith got closer, she subconsciously put her arm around Li's arm.

The intimate actions between the two were so natural that Lian felt depressed.

Lian had long known that Li and Lilith had a close relationship, and she had once denied with a smile that she had any special feelings for Li.

But after seeing this scene, Lian's blood pressure rose and her breathing became rapid.

"It is my fault."

Ignoring the strange looks from others, Lian ran away.

This was the first time she chose to escape from a problem, and Lian didn't know what was wrong with her.

Perhaps it was her younger brother's instigation and her father's strange attitude that made Lian have thoughts that she shouldn't have.

"lotus!"

"Okay Lilith, let her calm down alone."

Li's indifference towards Lian also made Lilith feel unhappy.

"Brother Li, if you have something to say, can't you just say it nicely?"

Lilith ran over to chase Lian. Li glanced around and looked at his younger brothers, and the pent-up frustration in his heart suddenly burst out.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen Shura Field?"

Xiaoli and others quickly turned around and did their own things, but their shaking shoulders betrayed them.

"Brother Li is good at everything except his relationship issues."

"Hey~ the interweaving of bitterness and sweetness is called love."

All the gossip of the younger brothers reached Li's ears, and these people didn't even lower their voices when they whispered.

Seeing Li cutting ingredients angrily alone, Xiaoli seized the opportunity to get in front of Li.

"Hey, Brother Li, which one do you like, Lilith or Lian?"

"…Xiao Li, you are itching for trouble, right?"

Xiaoli stuck out her tongue and quickly changed the question.

"Brother Li, what will happen to that Hart?"

"...Xiao Li, you don't need to care about him anymore. There are many unfair things in the world, and you can't control them all."

"Brother Li is still helping him treat his injuries."

Li put down the kitchen knife and looked at Xiaoli seriously.

"Xiao Li, I hope you can understand the difference between doing things easily and doing your best."

"Brother Li, are you trying to say that my concern is meaningless?"

"No, I'm just reminding you that your concern goes beyond what you should show to a stranger."

Xiaoli fell silent, and her original desire to make jokes and tease Li disappeared.

"Brother Li, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

"What?"

"Brother Li, there's a reason you're single!"
