After hearing what Shi Yulian had to say, the weight on Li Qian's mind eased considerably. He now understood why Li Sukuai's expression had soured upon seeing the Void Blood Bat.
The three of them chatted for a while longer before Shi Yulian prepared to leave. Before she left, she advised him to maintain a good relationship with Li Saint.
Li Qian readily agreed. Even if Shi Yulian hadn't mentioned it, he would have latched onto such a powerful connection anyway.
Most importantly, it seemed Li Saint's impression of him was also quite good.
Shi Yulian left. The moment she was out the door, Shi Gui Fang spoke, her voice tinged with envy. "You're so lucky."
Li Qian knew what she meant. He just smiled and didn't respond.
'Lucky?'
'Maybe I am!'
After all, the experience had broadened his horizons considerably. It was just that the mental fortitude he had painstakingly built up yesterday now seemed to have gone to waste, leaving him at a loss for whether to laugh or cry.
