Meeting Luo Xue inadvertently helped Li Xin solve the problem of information asymmetry. The Holy Land could be visited, and the ability of the dice was very valuable; it was impossible not to use it. The Moon God Medal given by Old Luo was a consumable, to be saved for critical moments. Moreover, Li Xin also wanted to better understand the Divine Relic. No one with such a thing in their body could leave it unchecked.

Seemingly cold, Luo Xue was even more naturally sociable than Li Xin. It seemed she considered Li Xin her secret weapon and trusted lieutenant, as she introduced him to the Black Rose's base. It was indeed the best of all the societies in the Canon Law School and held a unique position within the school. Even though the Grand Governor was no longer there, Black Rose's influence in the Li Long Kingdom remained enormous.

Within the Canon Law School, Black Rose members enjoyed certain privileges, such as the freedom to choose whether or not to attend classes, and the tutors wouldn't interfere.

Luo Xue took Li Xin to meet up with others, and as soon as they met, Lu Shuai began waggling his eyebrows, his eyes filled with gossip. It seemed the unassuming Li Xin had something special.

Luo Xue cleared her throat, "I officially welcome you four to join Black Rose. From now on, we are comrades, sharing the same boat. Let's showcase the spirit of our Celestial Capital Canon Law School and not tarnish the reputation of Black Rose."

A look of enthusiasm and expectation instantly filled the eyes of Lu Shuai and the others. Entering the Canon Law School and joining Black Rose was every young person's dream. Stepping onto the Kingdom's stage, a new world was beckoning them. Nan Kai and Fei Ruolin were also pleased. The strength and potential of these four newcomers were undoubtedly sufficient. Whether observed for half a year or directly joining, either was possible. Moreover, Black Rose indeed needed new forces now.

"Later, I will introduce you to some senior brothers in Hex-Tech. They like doing research and are not very interested in social affairs. Your Senior Sister Fei also has a talent in this area. They are the valuable assets of our Canon Law School. If you're interested in Hex-Tech, you can't go wrong finding them," Nan Kai said. "Two of your senior brothers have gone to the Royal Capital for the Canon Law School conference; they should be back soon..."

"Nan Kai, not soon, we're already back," a loud voice at the door rang out, sounding a bit like a tenor, very charming.

Two people in Celestial Capital Canon Law School uniforms walked in. The speaker was tall, about 1.9 meters, with a middle-parted, slightly wavy hairstyle, and a bright smile on his face. "Junior Sister Xue'Er, long time no see, thank you for your hard work during this time."

Behind the tall man was Hao Ye, a senior officer of Black Rose, lean with sharp eyes. His gaze swept over everyone, leerily lingering on Fei Ruolin, while his contempt for Li Xin and the others was blatant, especially frowning in disgust at Roland and Lu Shuai.

"Vice President Zhao Qing, I've already told you, you can call me President or Luo Xue, don't use titles that cause misunderstandings." Luo Xue's expression reverted to the initial cold and indifferent state.

"Haha, you are still so unapproachable," Zhao Qing was not at all angry, instead looking slightly indulgent. "Our families have long been friends, and I'm your senior brother. A more intimate form of address suits our relationship better."

Luo Xue was speechless. It wasn't that she wanted to appear cold, but she truly didn't know how to deal with this situation. Zhao Qing had been pestering her for quite a while. She had repeatedly refused, yet it was of no use. The other party was always smiling, and their families indeed had many interactions, they were both in Black Rose, and he often spoke with the stance of a senior brother, putting her in a difficult position.

Nan Kai and Fei Ruolin also wore bitter smiles. Ever since Luo Xue entered the Canon Law School, Zhao Qing had always been like this, causing Luo Xue quite some misunderstandings and trouble, but they were helpless in this matter.

"Family is family; we are not that close, and I also don't wish for misunderstandings. Even among friends, there should be proper distance, let alone us, who can only count as colleagues. Please note that," Luo Xue said flatly, her eyes turning to Li Xin.

Li Xin felt a pang. Damn, isn't this how you repay your benefactor?

Only then did Zhao Qing notice the few young newcomers, his smile slowly receding, lifting his head slightly, "Who are you all?"

Lu Shuai smiled, "Senior Brother, we are new recruits just joining Black Rose. I'm Lu Shuai from the Lu Family, this is Huerta, a warrior from the Saxon Race, this is Roland, a top student from Moncalleta, and he is Li Xin, who was specially recruited."

Zhao Qing's lips slightly curved. He certainly knew Lu Shuai's background — the ridiculous Lu Family, a joke in the noble circle, relying on their past connections with the Grand Governor to stay afloat. As for the others, nobodies, daring to speak with innuendo — he knows all the promising young people in Celestial Capital worth noting.

"Who allowed you to come in?"

"We passed the formal test." Huerta said, staring with eyes wide open.

"What formal test? The president just returned; he doesn't even know about it. Do you guys know the rules? Go back and wait," Hao Ye suddenly shouted sharply from a step behind. "Black Rose is the most elite place in the Canon Law School, not someplace for just anyone. You think anyone can bypass like Junior Sister Luo Xue can? What are you looking at? Get lost!"

Lu Shuai's face turned ugly, Huerta pursed his lips, clenching his fists, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Luo Xue stepped up, coldly looking at Hao Ye, "I recruited them. Is there a problem?"

Hao Ye smirked without a genuine smile, "Junior Sister Luo Xue, you're new to the presidency; you need to learn more from Vice President Zhao Qing, communicate more. Black Rose has gotten to where it is by following a strict recruitment process; rather, be wanting than hasty. Typically, newcomers are evaluated for more than half a year—nothing is established without rules."

Hao Ye immediately pushed back without regard for Luo Xue. Off to the side, Zhao Qing smiled, "Hao Ye, be careful with your words; Junior Sister means well for Black Rose, but she's inexperienced. Today's newcomers are all flashy; you four, leave your badges and wait for further notice."

Nan Kai coughed awkwardly, "Old Zhao, these four indeed..."

Zhao Qing looked at Nan Kai indifferently, "It's none of your business."

They were all fourth-year students. Zhao Qing had always thought he would take over as president, but in the vote, everyone voted for Luo Xue. Those from the previous term even stepped down early to block him. It was only because it was Luo Xue; with someone else, he would have already taken action.

"Vice President Zhao Qing, I recruited these four; there is no problem," Luo Xue said.

"Haha, Xue... Junior Sister, there's no rush. We'll discuss it in detail later. This Royal Capital trip was rewarding; I even brought gifts back." Zhao Qing waved his hand with a smile, understanding that girls cared about face.

While speaking, Zhao Qing's eyes were always focused with a hint of dominance on his target. In Celestial Capital, no one could resist his presence.

Luo Xue's face was expressionless. "Zhao Qing, there's no need to wait; the new term at Canon Law School has begun, and some things must be made clear." Luo Xue's gaze did not retreat in the slightest, staring at Zhao Qing, pausing a moment, her expression still cold, yet with a hint of certainty,

"You should clarify your position. In Black Rose, I am the president, and you are just the vice president in charge of external relations. When I say recruitment, I'm not negotiating with you; I'm informing you, understood?"

Nan Kai and Fei Ruolin gaped, while Lu Shuai and others were thrilled, their eyes shining. Now that's a president!
