Tang Yuehua Wanted a Master; Tang Hao's Fury

Tang Yuehua quietly studied the information her subordinates had gathered on the rise of the three siblings. She developed admiration for that reclusive master and hoped even more to take him as her teacher, to inherit some knowledge of the qin, and perhaps even have him solve the problem with her martial soul. She wanted to become more outstanding and prove that she was no longer useless trash incapable of cultivation. This thought only strengthened Tang Yuehua's resolve to seek a master.

Tang Yuehua looked up at the time and realized she had become too absorbed in reading about the three siblings' rise. A long while had passed, and night had already fallen. She felt that going to Forget Worries Pavilion to seek a master now would be too presumptuous, so she decided to bring generous gifts there the next day.

At that moment, inside Forget Worries Pavilion, Ye Zifeng suddenly felt a premonition that something might happen again tomorrow. He circulated his divination arts and cast a hexagram, calculating that someone of noble status might visit Forget Worries Pavilion tomorrow. He then calculated the events of the day after tomorrow. His brows immediately furrowed as he said in confusion, "The hexagram says a powerful expert will descend the day after tomorrow, yet the final omen for the three of us siblings is that we will be safe and sound, perhaps even rise to another level?"

Suddenly noticing the jade pendant his teacher had given him, he seemed to realize something. He turned toward his Elder Sister's and Second Sister's rooms, then turned back and said, "I'd better not tell them yet. Let the two of them cultivate properly. When the crisis arrives, I'll remain calm and composed." Thinking this, Ye Zifeng burst into loud laughter.

In her room, Second Sister Ye Hanxue blamed him inwardly. What is that foolish little brother going crazy over now? Did something go wrong in his cultivation and cause him to suffer qi deviation?

From another room, Elder Sister Ye Hanyue shouted, "What are you going crazy for? You're disturbing my cultivation! Laugh again, and get out to sleep!"

Ye Zifeng clicked his tongue softly and lay down to sleep.

At dawn, the gates of Forget Worries Pavilion remained tightly shut. Tang Yuehua arrived with several generous gifts to seek a master. Just as she was about to knock, the doors opened on their own, and a voice came from within. "I already know why you have come. Come in and speak."

Though Tang Yuehua was puzzled, she still entered Forget Worries Pavilion. This scene was relayed back to the various sects by many spies hiding nearby.

Upon entering Forget Worries Pavilion, she saw the three siblings seated around a table, with four cups of tea placed upon it.

Tang Yuehua bowed before the three siblings and said, "Tang Yuehua greets the three Pavilion Masters."

Third Brother Ye Zifeng said, "May I ask why Miss Yuehua has come?"

"Yuehua has come to seek a master and learn the arts. I hope the three Pavilion Masters can recommend me to that reclusive master and have him accept me as his disciple. Yuehua thanks you in advance," Tang Yuehua said respectfully.

The three siblings remained silent, merely looking at one another. In the end, Elder Sister Ye Hanyue spoke. "Miss Yuehua, this isn't something we can decide. From the moment you entered, I examined your Soul Power. You are only Level 9. Since awakening your martial soul until now, you have only reached Level 9. With your talent... sigh, I think you understand it yourself."

Third Brother Ye Zifeng also shook his head. "I just cast a hexagram. You should have been born into a major sect and are even a direct descendant, which means you should have received plenty of cultivation resources. Yet your level... sigh."

Tang Yuehua hurriedly said, "Three Pavilion Masters, please do not rush to a conclusion. Although my Soul Power is only Level 9, I possess an Innate Domain that can calm people's hearts and temporarily make them forget their worries. Therefore, what I wish to learn is the qin knowledge that the First Pavilion Master acquired."

After speaking, she took out a harp from her spatial Soul Tool and began to play, simultaneously activating her Innate Domain.

As the three siblings listened to her performance, their hearts inexplicably grew calm, and their bodies unconsciously relaxed. Elder Sister Ye Hanyue narrowed her eyes slightly.

After the piece ended, Tang Yuehua looked at the three siblings and softly asked, "What do you think, three Pavilion Masters?" Of course, rather than looking at all three siblings, she was really looking at Elder Sister Ye Hanyue.

Elder Sister Ye Hanyue noticed her gaze and said regretfully, "You have great talent in the qin, but this is ultimately a world of Soul Masters where strength is supreme. My master's inheritance of the qin also requires Soul Power to support it. Without sufficient Soul Power, even if you obtain the inheritance, it will be of no use. However, I have some playing techniques that I summarized myself. I can give them to you. With your Level 9 Soul Power, you can still use these techniques. Let this be the start of a good relationship between us."

As she spoke, she took a book from her robes and used Soul Power to send it to Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua looked at the book being offered to her. Though she felt regretful, she ultimately accepted it and said with a face full of disappointment, "I have disturbed the three Pavilion Masters." Then she turned and left with regret.

After she left, a Clear Sky Sect disciple ran up to Tang Yuehua and asked, "Miss, how did seeking a master go?"

Tang Yuehua looked at the disciple without speaking and silently walked away. Seeing this, the Clear Sky Sect disciple knew that her attempt had failed. He said nothing and merely sent the news back to the Clear Sky Sect.

Inside the Clear Sky Sect.

When Tang Hao heard that his younger sister Tang Yuehua had left Forget Worries Pavilion in sorrow, and thought of how he would need her help later, he roared, "That tiny Forget Worries Pavilion dares bully Tang Hao's sister? Tomorrow, I'll tear the place down!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Chen walked over from nearby. I have heard of this Forget Worries Pavilion before. It is said to have been founded by a reclusive master, and only the three siblings remain there. I heard that before leaving, that reclusive master intimidated every expert in the Tian Dou Empire and forbade them from bullying those three siblings. I happen to want to take a look as well, to see whether the inheritance left by that reclusive master can benefit the Clear Sky Sect. If it cannot, then destroy them. If it can, then invite them back to the Clear Sky Sect.

From beginning to end, Tang Chen never considered that reclusive master's existence. He was a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo and possessed the Self-Created Soul Skill—Ring Explosion. Why would he fear retaliation from some reclusive master?

Tang Chen had also never cared about Tang Hao's thoughts or conduct. Tang Chen had always enforced the notion that strength reigned supreme and that power was the only hard truth throughout the Clear Sky Sect. Because of this, the Clear Sky Sect bullied other sects and used its overwhelming strength to subdue the four affiliated sects. The sects across the continent suffered bitterly.

Tang Hao had inherited this mindset deeply. Whenever he saw members of other sects, he never gave them a proper glance. Whenever he saw something good, he simply seized it by force, lawless and unrestrained. Although the other sects wished to resist, they thought of Tang Chen, the Ultimate Douluo with Level 99 Soul Power, and ultimately gave up helplessly.

Yet during this trip to Forget Worries Pavilion, Tang Chen encountered Li Changsheng, who could break his Hao Tian Nine Slashes and Self-Created Soul Skill—Ring Explosion. His Dao heart collapsed, leaving him with a psychological shadow.

Tang Hao also received the first humiliating defeat of his life and gained an exceptionally resounding title—Little Mouse.

After this battle, the title spread far and wide. Through the secret dissemination of the major sects, it even overshadowed his honorary title, the Clear Sky Twin Stars.
