Chapter Eleven: New Life Welcome Party

  Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's already September 29th, the day of the Freshmen Welcome Party.

  The program that Lin Fan's class was going to perform on stage had been chosen long ago. What surprised Lin Fan was that the program representing their class was not a song and dance, nor a crosstalk sketch, but a boy playing a clarinet solo.

  On the day of choosing a representative program, this boy won the applause of all students in the class with a "Spring River Flower Moon Night", so, without a doubt, this boy's erhu performance became the class representative program.

  "Fourth brother, what are you still doing lying in bed? The welcoming party is about to start, if we don't go now, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a good spot!" The loud voice of the eldest brother pulled Lin Fan's mind out of the Hongmeng Hall.

  "Alright, I'm leaving right away!" Lin Fan flipped over and got out of bed, jumping onto the floor.

  Zhou Qiang and Xu Bing, two injured students, checked their bodies on the second day after hospitalization and confirmed that there were no hidden dangers before returning to school.

  Although there were beautiful girls taking care of them in the hospital, they didn't want to start skipping school on the first day of formal classes, so they resolutely gave up the idea of staying in the hospital and being taken care of by beauties, and returned to school.

  Now, due to the heroic rescue of that time, Lao Da Zhou Qiang and Lao San Xu Bing became friends with Zhou Xiaoqian and Wen Ting, two beauties. As for whether they can become lovers, it depends on their fate.

  When Lin Fan arrived at the playground, he found that there were many students who had the same idea as him, and by now, a lot of people had already gathered inside.

  "Fourth brother, I'm right, aren't I? Look, there are already this many people now. Who knows how many more will come when the evening party starts?" said eldest brother Zhou Qiang with a pleased smile.

  "Great Elder is wise! Great Elder is mighty! Great Elder, in order to let us have a better position, please lead the way for us!" Second Brother Tang Xuan had an expression of worship.

  "Just follow me!" said Zhou Qiang, patting his chest.

  Then, Lao Da Zhou Qiang relied on his tall body to forcibly squeeze past the people in front of him and continued forward.

  Some people who were squeezed out by Lao Da Zhou Qiang immediately turned their heads in dissatisfaction, wanting to teach a lesson to the person who squeezed them out. However, upon seeing Lao Da Zhou Qiang's body of over two meters tall, they suddenly lost their courage and meekly gave way to one side.

  Looking at Lao Da Zhou Qiang opening up the 'Kang Zhuang Avenue' in front, Lin Fan quietly gave a thumbs-up to Lao Er Tang Xuan.

  Soon, everyone found a relatively forward position, from which they could clearly see everything on the stage.

  The party started at 7:30 in the evening, but before the party began, Lin Fan felt his phone in his pocket vibrate.

  Someone is looking for me! Who could be looking for me at this time? Not many people know my phone number!

  Lin Fan took out his mobile phone, and the name displayed on it was Ouyang Ziyuan. What did she want to find him for at this time?

  Although somewhat puzzled, Lin Fan still answered the phone: "Hello, is that Ziyan? What's up?"

  "Lin Fan, something urgent has come up here and I need you to come over and help me out!" Ouyang Ziyuan's tone was filled with anxiety.

  "Alright, where are you now? I'll be right there!" Lin Fan immediately agreed when his friend was in trouble.

  "I'm backstage!" said Ouyang Ziyuan.

  Backstage, isn't that where students who are about to perform wait? How did Ouyang Ziyuan end up there?

  Lin Fan went backstage with a head full of doubts.

  From a distance, Lin Fan saw Ouyang Ziyuan waving at him. Next to her stood their class teacher, "Iceberg Goddess" Qin Bing, whose face looked even colder than usual.

  "What's going on?" Lin Fan asked Ou Yang Ziyan with a puzzled expression after greeting Qin Bing and walking up to the two through the warning line set up by the guards.

  "It's like this, originally Wang Ping from our class was supposed to perform on stage tonight, but he accidentally hurt his hand and can't go on stage. The evening party program has already been arranged and can't be changed easily, so we want to find someone to replace Wang Ping on stage. However, in the whole class, only you know how to play the flute. I don't know if you're willing to help?" Ouyang Ziyuan quickly told Lin Fan the reason, then looked at him with expectation.

  Qin Bing's icy clear eyes also looked at Lin Fan: "Lin Fan classmate, I hope you can agree!"

  Looking at the two beautiful women filled with expectant expressions, Lin Fan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright! However, if I'm to perform on stage, I hope to be able to play my own composition."

  When Lin Fan agreed to help, the thousand-year-old frost on Qin Bing's face melted a little, but it was still icy and cold. "This is no problem! As long as the program doesn't change, changing one song is fine too. I'll go talk to the staff now. Ziyan, take Lin Fan to the rest area and wait for a bit."

  After finishing speaking, Qin Bing left here to discuss with the staff about changing the song.

  "Come on! I'll take you to the rest area." said Ouyang Ziyuan with a smile.

  "Hmm!" Lin Fan nodded slightly and followed Ouyang Ziyuan to the rest area.

  There were many students waiting to perform in the rest area. When they saw Ouyang Ziyuan enter, they suddenly felt a sense of astonishment.

  But Lin Fan behind Ou Yangziyan was automatically ignored by all the students.

  "Alright, you wait here for a moment, I'll go take a look at how things are going with the teacher! By the way, I'll help you prepare the long flute for the performance, so don't worry about it!" said Ouyang Ziyuan.

  "No need, I have Lin Fan's flute with me, and I'm not used to using other flutes." Lin Fan shook his head, and with a flip of his right hand, a two-foot long emerald green flute appeared in his hand.

  The flute is made of emerald jade, as if it were crafted with the finest turquoise. It has a warm and smooth feel to the touch. On its surface are carved many mysterious patterns, which not only do not destroy the overall beauty of the flute but also add to its mystery and beauty.

  Wow!

  Ouyang Ziyuan let out a cry of surprise, her eyes shining with sparkling light as she stared intently at the long flute in Lin Fan's hand. This beautiful and mysterious flute had firmly captured Ouyang Ziyuan's gaze.

  "This long flute is really beautiful! Where did you buy it? I want to buy one too!" Ouyang Ziyuan reluctantly shifted her gaze, looking at Lin Fan and asking eagerly.

  "This long flute was bought by me in the antique street of my hometown, and I don't know if there is a second one!" Lin Fan handed the long flute to Ouyang Ziyuan.

  Ouyang Ziyuan couldn't help but fondle the flute, her face filled with delight. Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, a hint of regret flashed across her face, and she reluctantly returned the flute to him, saying: "What a pity! I was thinking of buying one for my collection!"

  There will never be another flute like this in the world!

  This long flute is not an ordinary flute, but a postnatal spiritual treasure born between heaven and earth, called the Biyu Cloud Flute. It contains nine extraordinary melodies, unfortunately, with Lin Fan's current cultivation, he can't even play the simplest one!

  But also sparked Lin Fan's interest in learning Chang Xiao skills.

  As for this long flute, Lin Fan originally bought it by chance.

  At that time, Lin Fan was still indulged in the fantasy world and couldn't extricate himself. He happened to read a fantasy novel which described a powerful cultivator using his magical flute to play music that killed enemies in an invisible scene, deeply shocking Lin Fan's heart. From then on, when Lin Fan strolled through Antique Street, he would take a few more glances at some musical instrument antiques.

  When Lin Fan found this long arrow, the appearance of this long arrow was completely different from now. The whole long arrow was gray and even had some black substance stuck to it in some places, and its original appearance could not be seen at all.

  And so, Lin Fan was able to buy this long flute at a cheap price.

  After Lin Fan bought this flute, he also wanted to remove the stains on its surface, but no matter what method he used, he couldn't remove the stains. It wasn't until then that Lin Fan understood why this flute was so cheap.

  Until Lin Fan cultivated the "Hong Meng Lian Shen Jue" and broke through to the foundation building stage, he discovered that the long flute was surrounded by a thin layer of heavenly spiritual energy, and only then did he realize that this long flute was different, it might be a sealed treasure.

  After the blood recognition, the long xiao emitted bursts of light, and the stains on its surface also disappeared under the illumination, revealing its original appearance.

  At the same time, a stream of information flowed into Lin Fan's mind from the long whistle.

  Lin Fan learned from that information the name of the flute - Biyu Yun Xiao, a postnatal spiritual treasure born in the world, containing nine extraordinary and mysterious songs, each with an unpredictable ability, unfortunately Lin Fan's current cultivation couldn't even play the first short segment of the simplest song.

  Even if you can't play the nine strange tunes, using the Biyu Yun Xiao to play ordinary tunes also has a magical effect. However, what makes Lin Fan extremely resentful is that the Biyu Yun Xiao was sealed by a powerful cultivator with 81 seals!

  The sealed Biyu Yun Xiao naturally didn't have all sorts of magical abilities, but it could still be used to play a tune.

  After discovering this jade flute, Lin Fan suddenly became interested in music.

  So, during military training, after lights out at night, Lin Fan would enter the Hong Meng Temple to study music knowledge, especially about the long whistle.

  "Hehe!" Lin Fan could only chuckle a few times in response to Ou Yang Zi Yan's regret.

  Bi Yu Yun Xiao has shed blood to acknowledge its master. Something that belongs to oneself, even if given to Ouyang Ziyuan, she cannot use it.

  "Alright, since you have a long sword, I don't need to bother helping you prepare. You wait here for a moment, I'll go take a look at the teacher's place." Ou Yang Ziyan said, and then left the rest area.

  After leaving the rest area, Ouyang Ziyuan always felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't think of what it was. It wasn't until they had left the rest area far behind and were almost at Qin Bing's place that she suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"

  Just as Lin Fan took out that long flute in the rest area, that long flute seemed to appear out of thin air in Lin Fan's hand, and the situation was very strange!

  It was just that at the time I was attracted by that long arrow and didn't think much, so I didn't react at the time. Now thinking about it, the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is not right!

  Ouyang Ziyuan clearly remembered that Lin Fan was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and there was no place to hide a long arrow over 60 centimeters in length.

  Where is that long flute hidden?

  Lin Fan, what other secrets are you hiding in your body? I'm getting more and more curious!

  Ouyang Ziyuan gazed in the direction of the rest area, her eyes filled with a spirit of exploration.
