Howling Sky Douluo! Moon Pavilion's Tang Yuehua

"Opening the World Vault won't be that easy."

Sword Douluo shook his head and said with some worry, "Feng Zhi, according to the agreement between your ancestors and the royal family, the World Vault can only be used when the Heaven Dou Empire or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is facing a life-or-death situation, and both parties agree to it!"

"But now, it's unlikely that the royal family will agree to bid for just a few pills."

"Sword Uncle, you're mistaken."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "I'm sure that Xue Ye now wants to open this World Vault even more than I do!"

Why is that?

Bone Douluo stretched out his large hand, tugged at the few sparse white hairs on his head, and asked in confusion.

"Because he needs money!"

Ning Fengzhi stood up, his hands behind his back, his gaze seemingly piercing through hundreds of miles to see Xue Ye in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"First, the royal family also needs the Longevity Pill. Because whether it is the most senior Soul Douluo in the royal family, Xue Shan, or the Three Great Education Committee Members such as Meng Shenji, as well as the other Soul Douluo worshippers, they are all elderly people in their seventies or eighties."

"Besides, there are very few powerful members in the royal family to begin with, so they would never abandon these old people."

"However, although the imperial family is very wealthy, they have even more expenses. In recent years, their finances have been in a negative deficit every year, and they simply don't have any money."

"Secondly, the royal family has just formed a marriage alliance with Zhou Chen, and with the backing of the behemoth that is the Purple Micro Palace, Xue Ye is definitely ambitious and wants to resolve some of the empire's hidden dangers. For example, those dozen or so kingdoms and duchies that have been colluding with the Spirit Hall and have been trying to rebel and establish their own independent regimes."

"To resolve these separatist forces, we need to wage war, and war costs money, and a huge amount of money at that!"

At this point, Ning Fengzhi confidently stated, "With so many expenses, where else could Xue Ye get the money if he didn't open the World Vault?"

"That makes sense. Feng Zhi is very thoughtful."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong slapped his thigh and laughed, "As long as we can open the World Vault, everything will be solved."

"Good."

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi glanced at the two people sitting there and said, "There's no time to lose. Sword Uncle, come with me to the palace. Bone Uncle, you stay here and guard the sect."

"Um."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded, and with a flash of silver light, the Seven Kill Sword swelled in the wind, transforming into a ten-foot-long, door-wide silver giant sword.

The two boarded the silver giant sword, and in the next instant, they transformed into a streak of light, flying out of the Council Hall and hurtling towards the imperial palace...

At the same time.

In the bustling center of Heaven Dou City, there stands a pavilion thirty meters tall. In this primitive era of cold weapons, thirty meters was already considered a very tall building.

The building has a Qing Ya appearance, with only two simple characters on the plaque above the entrance:

Moon Pavilion.

There weren't many men and women entering and leaving Moon Pavilion, but they were all dressed in luxurious clothes and had excellent bearing, clearly indicating that they were extraordinary people.

In fact, Moon Pavilion is the Heaven Dou Empire Court Etiquette Academy, personally appointed by Xue Ye. Those who can enter it must at least possess a noble title.

For example, Princess Xue Ke, who is already engaged to Zhou Chen, is Moon Pavilion's student, and one can imagine how many imperial nobles gather here.

The top floor of the Moon Pavilion.

The top floor is the rest area of Madam Yue, the owner of the Moon Pavilion.

The space here is spacious and decorated in a Qing Ya style. The floor is paved with warm white jade stone, and the surrounding area is filled with various expensive wooden decorations.

In front of the living room is a screen carved from fine boxwood, and on both sides of the screen are orchids that exude a delicate fragrance.

Normally, no one is allowed to come up here except for Madam Yue's close maids, especially men!

However, today, a middle-aged man is sitting on the living room sofa behind the screen.

The middle-aged man was tall and imposing, with a broad back and a kind face, and short, gray-black hair. He sat there, yet his entire being seemed as imposing as a mountain.

Suddenly, from the other side of the screen, a somewhat cold voice rang out. "Big brother, you've arrived."

The next moment, the middle-aged man looked towards the screen and saw a graceful and elegant woman walking around the screen and into the living room.

At first glance, this beautiful woman seemed to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but her eyes seemed to have seen through everything in the world, clearly indicating that she was not that old.

She wore a silver palace dress, her appearance was exquisite, and her long blue hair was piled up high, with two tassels hanging down on either side of her smooth forehead.

Her demeanor was extremely noble, as if she were a moon goddess fallen to earth.

"Come on, brother, have some tea."

The beautiful woman held a cup of hot tea in her hands and gently placed it on the crystal coffee table in front of the middle-aged man.

Then, she slowly sat down on the sofa opposite the middle-aged man, her movements elegant and natural.

"Thank you, Moonlight."

The middle-aged man picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, clearly indicating that he was indeed quite thirsty.

No wonder, the middle-aged man had traveled from the Lofty Mountains three hundred miles away to Heaven Dou City early in the morning without a moment's rest. Even though he was a Title Douluo, he was still quite thirsty.

His name is Tang Xiao, the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, a level 96 titled Douluo, with the title "Xiaotian".

His younger brother is Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

The beautiful blue-haired woman before him, who was as beautiful as the Yue Shen, was his and Tang Hao's younger sister, and also the owner of the Moon Pavilion, Tang Yuehua!

The reason why Xue Ye designated Moon Pavilion as the Imperial Etiquette Academy was not only because Tang Yuehua was indeed a good teacher, but also because he valued her status as a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect. He wanted to use Tang Yuehua to establish a relationship with the Clear Sky Sect.

Outsiders, because Xue Ye treated Tang Yuehua differently, assumed that the two had some special intimate relationship, which is complete nonsense.

They had no idea how powerful Tang Yuehua's backing was!

After finishing his tea, Tang Xiao took a breath and said seriously, "Moonlight, since you sent the news of the Longevity Pill back to the sect a few days ago, after discussions among the elders, we also want to participate in the auction held by the Purple Micro Palace this time."

"However, our Clear Sky Sect has already gone into seclusion, so it is not appropriate for us to show ourselves, lest we be discovered by the Spirit Hall."

At this point, Tang Xiao said somewhat awkwardly, "So, the elders want you to step forward and bid for the Longevity Pill on behalf of the sect. Anyway, your official identity is Madam Yue of the Moon Pavilion, and you have no connection with the Clear Sky Sect."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua frowned slightly, secretly thinking to herself, "Those old guys in the sect are still as cowardly and weak as ever!"

It's ridiculous that they can't even attend an auction openly and honestly, and have to have a weak woman bid on their behalf!

However, Tang Yuehua would only think these words in her heart and would not say them aloud.

At this moment, she looked directly at her elder Tang Xiao, and asked in a gentle tone, "I can bid on your behalf. But I wonder how many Gold Soul Coin the sect has prepared this time?"
