Chapter 238: Meeting City Lord
Lyla was a little stunned at Li Wei's sudden leave, but she didn't care too much as he was just feeling bitter about something.
Li Xin too didn't care about him, as she knew he misunderstood her, thinking she was going to create trouble from him in these two weeks trying to get him close with others.
So, she just continued her chat with Irene and others, while Lyla also joined them with curiosity, wondering what they were talking about.
However, her arrival was late, as they had already discussed everything and decided to keep it secret from both Li Wei and Lyla, so she didn't get anything.
Nevertheless, they were talking about some things related to women, so she joined them happily.
Meanwhile, Li Wei arrived in his room to freshen up without caring too much about what Li Xin was planning.
Because no matter what, it would be useless with how he was.
"XinXin, don't blame your brother for being like this," he muttered with a sigh as he sat on a reclining chair in a daze.
He understood what his problems were, and he tried to fix them; if not for that, he wouldn't have adopted Olivia and Lily.
However, he knew himself that he adopted them because he was strong enough; if he wasn't, then he wouldn't do it.
Thinking of this, his mind became filled with various thoughts, and he once again fell into a daze.
After an unknown time, he sighed and decided not to think too much about it, as his past wasn't something he could let go of simply.
He then looked at the time and saw it was almost seven PM, which means he had been sitting in a daze for about one and a half hours.
"Good thing they are still chatting; if not, XinXin might worry after seeing me like this," he murmured to himself while adjusting his emotions.
After confirming there was nothing wrong, he left to cook dinner. Because Olivia was still chatting with everyone, he didn't ask her to come and started to prepare everything alone.
In the meantime, all the girls finished their chat and went back to their rooms to freshen up before once again gathering in the hall of the sixth floor.
Only Olivia didn't join them and arrived to help Li Wei with dinner. Li Wei didn't reject her as there were still some dishes that needed to be prepared.
It was already eight PM when the dinner was ready, which made everyone cry with hunger as they were training all day.
Nevertheless, they didn't complain too much and gulped down the food as fast as they could.
This made Li Wei speechless, as their actions weren't elegant at all.
Only Olivia and Lyla were restrained, but still they finished as fast as they could.
The reason was they had heard the new clothes from earth had been made and would be sold from tomorrow.
Aunty Elisa had a servant send them a brochure so they could see the pictures of the new dresses.
Rather than a brochure, it was a thick book, and they were only about popular clothes; nevertheless, they were all excited about it.
'I should've told them after dinner' Li Wei muttered in his heart with a helpless sigh as he was the one who received the book and told them.
However, he didn't care too much about it and finished his food with them.
After that, he invited everyone to come with him to the old city, but everyone instantly rejected him and focused their eyes on the brochure from Nana's shop.
Li Wei knew it would be like this even without a brochure, so he didn't feel surprised, and after saying a few words, he left for the old city alone.
He didn't even bother to check his six buildings and directly arrived at the area where some guards and a barrier stood up to block the sound, dust, and view.
The guards only watched him and didn't stop because it was not any secret. However, they warned not to do anything inside and not to disturb people at work.
To this Li Wei nodded before entering inside and was just about to take a look at golems when a muscular old man arrived in front of him.
"Haha, isn't it Li Wei? Why are you here?" city lord Bernard inquired with a laugh.
He was quite upset that he couldn't make friends with Lucifer, but now watching Li Wei here, his worst mood instantly became lively.
However, the same was not for Li Wei, as he really wanted to see the golems and didn't want to talk with an old man.
"City lord, I was curious about how golems build the houses, so I came here to take a look," he replied calmly, not showing his emotions.
Hearing him, Bernard nodded, feeling a little surprised.
"I see, so you came here for this, then how about I give you a tour and explain things here?" he suggested with an eager look.
Watching him like this, Li Wei was speechless.
'He would definitely come after me even if I reject him,' he thought in his heart, clearly knowing he wanted to befriend him.
But he didn't care about that, as he was really hoping someone would explain these things to him.
So, he didn't hesitate and nodded.
"City lord, I am really curious about these things, so I would like to know in detail," he replied.
Hearing him, the city lord couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, Li Wei, no need to worry about this. I guarantee that no one in Valeria City is knowledgeable more than me if it comes to this," Bernard replied with confidence and continued.
"You came at the right time because we were just about to start building, so follow me and I will explain it to you after the building process starts," he suggested.
"Then I will listen to the city lord," Li Wei replied with an expectant look.
He wasn't just here because he wanted to build the city; he was also excited to see the golems, as he loved things like this.
The golems looked like some humanoid robots and mechs from sci-fi movies; no matter how he wanted to ignore it, he just couldn't.
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate anymore and urged the city lord to take him to the construction site, making him speechless.
Nevertheless, the city lord didn't reject him and happily led him there.
