Storm of Gods

Chapter 75 Bamboo Flute (Happy May Day!)
Li Xin finally attended the Black Rose meeting the next day. Not to mention Zhao Qing, Nan Kai and Fei Ruolin also had some opinions. As for Hao Ye's sarcastic remarks, he was never late or absent.

Despite the criticism, Hao Ye was secretly pleased. Li Xin's unruly and dissolute behavior meant one less competitor. There is a big difference between being a starter and a substitute.

Li Xin didn't refute it. He was busy with the night patrol and really didn't have time to pay attention to Black Rose's activities. It didn't matter if others complained a few times.

The main topic of the meeting was the core information and style of the other three teams.

Simmons, captain of the Saint Zealots of Montcarette, was named one of the top ten captains of the year by the Hexbird newspaper of Montcarette last year and was received by His Highness Prince Hawke.

The captain of the Ironblood Cult of the Black Meteor Empire, Kaz, is also the strongest in the Four Nations Tournament. He has already obtained the title of Silver Warrior, which is the limit of the Cult's stage. The Black Meteor Empire worships the Underworld God "Nine Lives of the Goddess", and its people are fierce and powerful. It is also the strongest country in the Eastern Continent in terms of military strength.

The Tethys Cult of the Tibatan Empire, Captain Calles, is a member of the Tibatan people who worship the Frost Queen "Elavie" and the Beast God "Selvi".

The Tibatan Empire is located in a harsh and vast land. Although the climate is harsh, it is rich in resources and produces many mercenaries and brigades. Like the Li Dragon Empire before it, the Tibatan Empire is constantly embroiled in internal wars. While the Li Dragon Empire produced a Grand Regent named Luther, the Tibatan Empire produced an extraordinary Queen named Sarah Monroe. It is said that she "killed" her husband, unified the Tibatan Empire, established trade, expanded commerce, and actively introduced the Council of the Order system. She especially admired Hextech, which greatly helped the Tibatan Empire improve its national strength. It is said that this queen had a very good personal relationship with Grand Regent Luther.

“Moncaleta’s style lies in its comprehensive skills, with few weaknesses. The Black Meteor Empire is characterized by its ruthlessness and iron-bloodedness; it will stop at nothing to achieve victory. They only believe in results. The internal competition within Black Meteor is extremely fierce, so those who can become representatives of the Council of the Church have fought their way through. By the way, the Black Meteor Council of the Church has the highest casualty rate. The Tibatan Empire has a good relationship with us. The Tibatan people are naturally stronger than other races, much like our Saxons. Hurta, you can have a match with them if you have the chance. Their captain, Kales, is a woman. In Tibatan, you must be especially careful when the leader is a woman,” Zhao Qing explained. He had just returned from the Council of the Church conference. Having studied in the capital before, his vision and information far surpassed others. He was the one who chaired the meetings, a role that Luo Xue did not try to take.

On the point of wanting to win, the Black Rose team has reached a consensus. Luo Xue, Zhao Qing, and even Li Xin, along with the other team members, all hope to win... or at least not lose face.

This weekend, Black Roses is demanding a training camp to select the final starter, but Roland and Hao Ye seem to have the upper hand at the moment.

After finishing his classes on Friday afternoon, Li Xin walked home. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled an enticing aroma, and his stomach immediately responded. Xueyin rushed out as soon as she heard the door open, "Xin, Xin, you're finally back."

Lin Fei wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen. "Go do your homework, Ashin. Dinner will be ready soon."

Xueyin pouted, feeling wronged, but dared not defy Lin Fei's authority. She could only go back to continue doing her homework. Ever since someone sent her the table and chair, it seemed to have become a talisman, constantly reminding her to do her homework.

God, save me, please take away this table and chairs.

"Aunt Fei, what delicious food are you making today? I'm so hungry."

"Same as before." Lin Fei smiled. "Wash your hands, it'll be ready in a minute."

Lin Fei now seems to have regained the radiance of her youth, exuding the charm of a mature woman, with an intellectual yet tranquil air. The mastermind behind the tragedy, Mondlier, has been brought to justice, and they have returned to the city. Xueyin has received a good education and even received the blessing of the moon goddess. Her life has become stable, and everything has finally turned out well after all the hardships.

When she's in a good mood, Lin Fei's naturally beautiful, fair skin glows with happiness, attracting a lot of neighbors to ask her what skincare products she uses. She herself is the best spokesperson, and any skincare products she recommends will immediately attract a large number of buyers. The surrounding neighbors are all well-off, and women are absolutely willing to spend a lot of money on this. Even some of the wealthier neighborhoods have heard about her and come to her.

Lin Fei has a keen business sense and has reached cooperation agreements with several good merchants on Treasure Street. The gold card is just a stepping stone. With this as a starting point, Lin Fei is building her own business model.

The Lin family truly inherited a business mind; their expenses increased dramatically after moving to the city, and Li Xin's salary alone is definitely not enough to cover their current spending.

"You don't need to worry about household expenses, so you should spend more on yourself and make more friends at the Academy," Lin Fei advised.

"Aunt Fei, I can't spend any money at the Academy." Li Xin looked at the lira bag in his hand, feeling a bit like a live-streaming e-commerce host from the Dao Yuan Continent.

“Use it when I tell you to. Social interactions are about give and take,” Lin Fei tasted the soup with a spoon, then held it out to Li Xin, “to check the saltiness.”

Slurp... "Delicious, so good," Li Xin gave a thumbs up, "One more sip."

Lin Fei's face was full of smugness. "Go and wait."

Li Xin received the order and returned to his room. He placed the nearly finished bamboo flute on the table, ate dinner, adjusted the pitch, and finished the details. He obtained some materials from his senior brother at Hextech, polished them, and then redesigned the flute. After all, a bare bamboo flute wouldn't look good. Once everything was done, it would be almost finished. He could call Miss Aries that evening to schedule a pickup time.

"Ah-Xin, what are you doing!" A voice suddenly rang out, and Xueyin appeared out of nowhere. "Huh, what's this?"

"Oh, this is a gift for a friend."

"Isn't this a bamboo?"

“Yes, it is now, but the finished product is not. It can still be played,” Li Xin smiled, picked up the bamboo flute, and gently touched it. When the bamboo flute was formed, it really brought back memories of the past. Since coming to this world, he seemed to be avoiding getting stuck in the past.

A melodious tune began to play, and Lin Xueyin, who had initially paid little attention, widened her eyes, her eyes sparkling. "My God, it sounds so beautiful! Is that bamboo?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Let's go eat first. Your task now is to study, not play."

"Ah Xin, you're so annoying!" Lin Xueyin stomped her foot and ran away in a flash. Now, hearing those two words was like a curse to her.

A table full of delicious food, Li Xin and Lin Xueyin began to feast. The two would occasionally fight over the food. At home, it's first come, first served. Watching the two of them making a ruckus, Lin Fei's face was full of smiles.

"Will Xueyin go to church from now on?" Lin Fei asked.

Li Xin looked at Xueyin and said, "I don't think that's necessary. Xueyin hasn't awakened yet, so it's better for her to stay away from secret events and places."

Lin Fei nodded, "I think so too."

Having experienced so much, she felt that the current situation was the best, but she also knew that Li Xin was already an awakened being and had gone very far, so turning back was impossible. In fact, this was the foundation of her current life.

"By the way, I saw a bunch of flowers thrown in the yard, but they don't look bad?" Li Xin asked.

"Mom threw them away. Lately, a lot of weird people have been sending me flowers. Ugh, one of them was lecherous and so annoying," Lin Xueyin said, pouting.

"It's alright, this is the family compound of the night patrolmen, there won't be any security issues," Lin Fei said.

"Aunt Fei, if someone has good character, you can give them a chance too."

"Little guy, I know men better than you do. Their enthusiasm and novelty are just temporary. But if you don't find a girlfriend soon, I'll have to arrange blind dates for you!"

"Mom, Ashin is making a gift for someone. It's a musical instrument, and it must be for a girl," Lin Xueyin immediately tattled.

"You little rascal, don't talk nonsense. This is a return gift for a friend. They helped us a lot last time, so we have to show our appreciation." Li Xin was both amused and exasperated. Why do girls' eyes light up when they talk about this kind of thing?
