I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 553 145: The Power of Reputation

Feeling his own charm, Lu Shuai smiled slightly, "I can't say I'll win over this Master Fang today, but as long as we know where he is, there are always ways.""Let's hope so."

Under Lu Shuai's persuasion, Tang Chendan's mood also relaxed, and the atmosphere became a bit softer.

"By the way, last weekend we went to Celestial Pool Hot Springs. It's really great there. You work so hard every day; you really should try it during your vacation." Lu Shuai said.

Usually, Tang Chendan would have made some sarcastic remarks, but this time she didn't answer. After a while, she said, "I can bathe at home."

"Miss Tang, life isn't just about work and basic needs. I'm not showing off, just thinking we could try something new. For instance, after understanding the work of Night Patrol, I've gained more respect and less prejudice." Lu Shuai said, "How would you know whether you like it if you don't try it? Besides, the hot springs there have beautifying healing effects, and I've heard they're very effective for removing scars."

"Let's talk about it after we complete this task." Tang Chendan said flatly.

That's how she put it, but Lu Shuai knew Miss Tang's temperament well. This equates to indirect agreement, just out of pride not directly saying yes. Of course, the condition is definitely to first deal with Master Fang.

Lu Shuai was fired up, determined to win over Fang, and cure Tanggao for Justice!

The carriage stopped at a very quiet mansion in East Second District.

The mansion gates were closed, and Lu Shuai and Tang Chendan got off the carriage and came to the door to knock. Before long, an elderly butler-like gentleman in his sixties opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Old gentleman, we want to meet Master Fang, we have something to ask." Tang Chendan said.

The old man was taken aback, "You're at the wrong place. There's no Master Fang here." Then he wanted to close the door.

Tang Chendan held the door, "Old gentleman, since we came here, we know Master Fang is here. Please notify him, just say Night Patrol Tang Chendan is visiting and asks the master to kindly see me."

"Young girl, what are you doing? If I say he's not here, then he's not. What Night Patrol, Day Patrol—don't know them." The butler still wanted to close the door.

Lu Shuai quickly smiled, "Please wait a moment, my fiancée is just impatient. It's like this, I am Lu Shuai, a descendant of Grand Governor Luthor. We truly have important matters to discuss with the Master Fang. Please notify him."

Upon hearing that he was the descendant of Grand Governor Luthor, the old butler took a look at Lu Shuai, seeing that his demeanor didn't resemble a pretender, yet still remained unsure.

"We're neighbors; I live on Fenghua Street, not far from here. I've only learned the master has returned to Dragon Capital. My great-grandfather once mentioned Master Fang, thinking that perhaps they were acquainted." Lu Shuai continued to elaborate.

"Wait here for a moment." The butler sensed that he wasn't lying, knowing that such matters should be reported, he closed the door to go inform.

Tang Chendan looked at Lu Shuai beside her and sighed inwardly.

Soon, the door opened, and the old butler smiled, "Mr. Lu, Miss Tang, please come in."

Lu Shuai knew he had guessed right. His great-grandfather was known for having extensive connections, surely this Great Alchemist, being a Li Long person, had some intersection.

The mansions in East Second District are generally quite luxurious, but the courtyard of this Great Alchemist was very simple and elegant, definitely frugal, detached from materialism, with a masterful demeanor.

Entering the living room, a middle-aged man looking about fifty, yet actually over two hundred years old—Master Fang, the Great Alchemist.

"Junior Lu Shuai and fiancée Tang Chendan pay respects to Master Fang." Lu Shuai and Tang Chendan bowed in ceremony.

Master Fang scrutinized the young couple, smiling slightly, "No need for formalities. You two are quite informed; I had just returned to Dragon Capital, and you found me already."

"It's fate, isn't it, Master? I could sense it." Lu Shuai laughed.

Master Fang chuckled too, "Indeed, you resemble the Grand Governor a bit. But you're mistaken; I did not know the Grand Governor. However, your tendency to seize opportunities is quite similar."

His great-grandfather even dared to assume the role of consort-in-law—what wouldn't he dare?

"Master, we truly have an important matter to request from you on this visit." Tang Chendan said.

"Oh, everyone who comes to see me has a request. Let's hear it." Master Fang smiled at Tang Chendan.

"Master, a child with Night Patrol suffers a bloodline curse resulting in a missing soul, his life is hanging by a thread. We hope you can help. We've almost gathered all the Magic Potion materials." Tang Chendan said sincerely.

Master Fang smiled gently, "I'm sorry, Miss Tang, this affair is beyond my capabilities."

"Why? Whatever conditions you need, I can meet them, I'd even stake my life." Tang Chendan said resolutely.

Master Fang waved his hand, "I'm not interested in your life. I'm just an old man with shallow skills; I can't make soul-replenishing potions."

"Master, my fiancée speaks bluntly. You know Night Patrol's style in action is like that. The child's parents died during a mission, and the child was cursed—he's dazed and foolish."

"Mr. Lu, Miss Tang, I truly can't help. You should seek someone more capable. Please leave." Master Fang said.

The butler immediately approached, "Both of you, the master has other guests visiting soon; please leave."

Tang Chendan wanted to say more, but Lu Shuai held her back, "Master Fang, we'll take our leave now."

Tang Chendan wanted to shake free, but Lu Shuai held her tightly. For the first time, she didn't resist, and both walked away with the butler, silently closing the gate.

"Miss Tang, what you're doing isn't a request—it's coercion. You can't force things." Lu Shuai said with a wry smile.

Tang Chendan bit her lip, "Every day delayed brings more uncertainty. I'll wait at the gate for him!"

"Please don't. Master Fang doesn't want matters to be publicly known. You'll put him in a tough spot if you do. Let's go back; I'll think of a way. You know I specialize in dealing with masters." Lu Shuai said.

Tang Chendan sighed, calming down. She knew well enough, indeed the child is pitiful, the parents sacrificed, but this isn't related to Master Fang. She simply had no means, she couldn't let Tanggao just die.

"Then... I entrust it to you." Tang Chendan said softly.

Lu Shuai was ecstatic but contained his emotions, "Miss Tang, you're seeing me as an outsider. I also am fond of Tanggao. From the times we've spent; I see Night Patrol as heroes. To lend my help is my moral duty."

"... Can you let go of my hand?" Tang Chendan said softly.

"Ahem, doing this whole act, who knows if they're secretly watching. As this is my fiancée's matter, I have a valid reason to seek help." Lu Shuai still held Miss Tang's hand, soft and smooth, very delicate.

A girl's hand can feel so comfortable.

Tang Chendan blushed, struggled lightly, and remained in Lu Shuai's grip as both get on the carriage. Yet, even inside the carriage, Lu Shuai didn't let go.

"Oops, it seems stuck." Lu Shuai grinned cheekily, "Master Fang was right; our Lu Family really is thick-skinned."

Tang Chendan couldn't help but giggle, and instantly, the carriage seemed to enter spring early.
