I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 629: Chapter 221: Evening Bell and Morning Drum

Mordo and Philson understood the meaning in Li Xin’s words.

"Mr. Li, when Philson and I arrived in the Li Long Kingdom, Vladimir had already informed us that our sole mission in Dragon Capital is to disseminate the truths of the Celestial Principle School, nothing else concerns us. Hence, we wish to know your thoughts, or rather, your perspective." Mordo said.

Zhuang Zhidong stood aside, gazing at his nose and his mouth as if he were a wooden stake.

Xueyin blinked her large eyes, feeling just a little bit of admiration for Ah Xin.

"Whether it’s the Council, the Ji Family, or the Church Court, it makes no difference who is in power; it won’t significantly change the current situation. Actually, I hope that the Celestial Principle School could develop better, as changing society begins with changing thoughts." Li Xin said.

Mordo and Philson nodded, Mordo smiled, "There’s a student named Lu Shuai among the younger generation of Beijing people. Our Celestial Principle School is willing to support him becoming a member of the Council and conducting deep cooperation."

"Lu Shuai is my friend."

"Mr. Li, we didn’t choose Lu Shuai just because he’s your friend. We’ve observed for a long time, the Liberal factions, Justice factions, and even the Ji Family, we’ve made great efforts, but they do not possess a free heart nor align with the Celestial Principle. Lu Shuai wasn’t suitable before, but his transformation is remarkable." Philson said.

"That’s what they call a prodigal son’s return being more valuable than gold."

Lu Shuai has indeed indulged before, but even during those times, his true nature remained. After the incident with Tang Chendan, his character underwent significant change.

"Choosing Lu Shuai means choosing a very challenging path." Li Xin said.

Mordo and Philson exchanged a smile, "We believe in Celestial Principle; it’s the only path, regardless of its difficulty."

Whether it’s the Justice faction, Liberal faction, or the Ji Family, in essence, they are the same. Only the Celestial Principle School is closer to past life. Pursuing overly advanced systems now is like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, one only needs to choose the better option.

"How is Hedan doing?" Li Xin asked.

A slight unnaturalness appeared on Mordo and Philson’s faces. Mordo sighed softly, "It seems that Your Majesty has repressed too many thoughts before, is now very anxious, and doesn’t listen to advice much. Frequent arguments with James too."

"There are also substantial issues within the Moncalleta Kingdom. Institutional reforms need gradual progress—ten years, twenty years, even longer—to achieve the continuation of the kingdom at the smallest cost."

"Although the Prince’s incident is resolved, the old system still exists. The major families continue to rule various areas in Heldando and hold military power. Impatience will lead to trouble."

Li Xin doesn’t have much of an impression of Hokele; the limited few encounters seemed positive, as he was a good brother. But since he became the King, Miss Aries has told him that people have changed greatly; power indeed corrupts, and Prince and King are entirely different.

"How is Prince Achilles?"

Mordo smiled bitterly, "Prince spends his days wandering, indulging in his own interests, tarnishing his reputation, totally unnecessary actually."

The casual interests of Achilles were something Li Xin immensely admired; if this lad were not a prince, he would have been killed long ago. Of course, among Hedan’s nobles, whether male or female, each has several lovers. They don’t care much; cultural traditions differ. Hence, Achilles just has a bad reputation without causing outrage, especially since he only seeks noblewomen, willingly.

Thinking from another perspective, he avoids sibling rivalries while enjoying life. In the matter of getting things done, he has his ways; personal abilities, within the Secret Castle, he is considered a figure.

"Perhaps Hokele doesn’t see it that way."

Having left Hedan, Mordo and Philson couldn’t grasp Hedan affairs accurately, though they were aware of the possibility.

Some things create a vicious cycle once they appear, especially the obsession with power.

"Is Princess living well?" Li Xin asked.

Mordo and Philson exchanged glances, their expressions peculiar. Li Xin coughed a few times, "Her name precedes her; under such circumstances, Princess Estella likely isn’t too happy."

"In the Royal Family, Princess is the only consistent one. Reportedly, she studies very earnestly and limitedly participates in state affairs, but her marriage has been brought to the schedule by the King several times, yet not enacted. It cannot be delayed indefinitely. Recently, there’s a tendency for a marriage alliance with the Black Meteor Empire." Mordo said.

In their conversation with Li Xin, Mordo and Philson were entirely candid, avoiding nothing.

"Does the Princess consent?"

"Princess strongly opposes, leading to plenty of arguments with Your Majesty." Mordo said.

"How is Grandmaster Vladimir doing?"

"We don’t know if it’s good or bad." Mordo answered.

Vladimir, with his demigod body, nourished the Golden Tree, barely preserving Moncalleta’s livelihood, equal to severing from the root of Celestial Principle School. Therefore, leaving Moncalleta is the only way.

In Moncalleta, Earth Mother Goddess Court triumphed completely.

The three were all aware of this.

"Xueyin, are you studying well?"

"Huh?" Lin Xueyin was listening with interest when suddenly the topic shifted to her.

"Ah Xin, I’m the best learner in my family!"

"Oh, then I’ll have to test you." Mordo smiled, "Come with me."

Xueyin opened her mouth, wondering what’s going on, suddenly turned into a dean’s big exam.

Mordo led Xueyin and Zhuang Zhidong away, leaving the room with only Li Xin and Grandmaster Philson.

"Grandmaster Philson, I heard from Dean Chen that the Celestial Principle School’s lecture was canceled?" Li Xin asked.

"Yes, Philson and I had prepared a lot and believed it could be a highly meaningful lecture, but during our time in Dragon Capital, we both realized we were overly confident." Philson smiled bitterly, "The foundation of Celestial Principle Study is correct, but putting any theory in different countries and cities, especially those with certain historical and cultural differences, requires different interpretations and transformation."

Li Xin nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the situations in Li Long Kingdom and Moncalleta differ greatly."

"For the Celestial Principle School to take root and flourish in Dragon Capital, it needs to truly consider the broader populace of Li Long people. Hence, the previously planned lecture is inappropriate; Philson and I need further understanding before reconsidering this matter."

"I believe everyone will be looking forward to it." Li Xin said.

Luthor’s Hex-Tech broadcasting across the Dao Yuan Eastern Continent, Moncalleta’s Celestial Principle School also spreads to various countries; basic things in clearly divided national borders are not effective with force; only intrinsic strength can make people willingly accept.

"Mr. Li, I have an impertinent request."

"Grandmaster is too courteous, please go ahead." Li Xin said, being Xueyin’s teacher, he wouldn’t decline anything he could help with.

"My cultivation is regressing." Philson smiled bitterly, "Ever since accepting Xueyin as a disciple, it has been like this, although I never regretted it, yet I don’t understand why."

Li Xin hesitated, unsure how to reply. He never fully understood the source of Celestial Principle School’s strength. The new path of the Sixth Epoch is beyond his comprehension; his own path is shrouded in mist. Though his accidental insight provided some inspiration to the Celestial Principle School, Vladimir and others’ advancement stemmed from their own accumulation and the strength of Celestial Principle School.

Philson sighed, "I admit, accepting Xueyin as a disciple was partly due to her great talent and partly to connect with Mr. Li. Perhaps this greed caused my regression."

At Philson’s level, worldly things rarely sway him; ironically, the great opportunity brought by Li Xin to Celestial Principle School is one of the few things that can tempt him.

In taking Xueyin as a disciple, he seemed to act promptly yet fell behind Mordo ultimately, so Vladimir made Mordo the dean, likely seeing through this.

His cultivation is insufficient.

But having chosen this path, he won’t superficially regret, yet the decline in realm and torment confined him. At his level, getting trapped will generate inner demons which are challenging to overcome.

Li Xin wished to say something but couldn’t. He somewhat understood but not thoroughly, given Philson’s experiences and his realm are not truly comprehensible to him. freewebnoveℓ.com

Cultivation is a very personal affair, he could speak, but whether it’s useful, he couldn’t guarantee.

Seeing Li Xin’s serious silence, Philson smiled, "Mr. Li, do not trouble yourself, it won’t delay Xueyin’s learning. If I can’t overcome this, Mordo will impart knowledge."

Li Xin just wanted to offer comfort, but suddenly sensed something; from within Yazama Karashi, the glowing Inheritance Record, handed for Mordo’s transmission by Vladimir, emerged.

Seeing the Inheritance Record appear, Philson’s expression turned solemn, fell to his knees.

Li Xin found himself caught off guard, his mind blank. What to say; as the Inheritance Record opened, it revealed a blank slate, Li Xin’s hand instinctively touched it.

Familiar Chinese characters began to appear one by one.

"Heart~not~dead~then~path~not~alive, desire~not~extinguished~thus~path~not~maintained."

Each word, like a morning bell and evening drum, resonated throughout the Celestial Principle Academy.
