Moonlight Pavilion.
It was an exceedingly lavish building in Heaven Dou City. Night had already fallen, but the Moonlight Pavilion was brightly lit inside, its lights illuminating even the street outside its entrance.
Here, those who laughed and conversed were learned scholars; no common, unlettered folk passed through.
The young nobles coming and going all carried themselves elegantly and wore expensive clothes. Tang San's attire looked utterly out of place here. Inferiority welled up within him, leaving him rooted to the spot.
Only after a long while, once he had steeled himself, did he step forward.
"Stop. This is the Moonlight Pavilion. We do not admit anyone improperly dressed!" Even the guards at the entrance were splendidly dressed.
Tang San froze for a moment, then hurriedly said, "I'm here to see Lady Yuehua. I have an urgent matter to discuss with her. Please announce me."
As he spoke, Tang San took out a few Gold Soul Coins, attempting to bribe them.
But what sort of place was this?
This was a gathering place for nobles. Those young lords and ladies casually handed out tips of dozens or even hundreds of Gold Soul Coins. How could Tang San's paltry sum possibly catch the guards' eyes?
The Gold Soul Coins struck the ground with a crisp clink. The guards sneered, "We do not admit anyone improperly dressed. Don't think you can slip past us with a bribe. Madam Yuehua is a person of immense standing. Do you think someone like you can see her whenever you please?"
"Get lost, or we'll have no choice but to hand you over to the city patrol."
Madam Yuehua was Tang San's only straw to clutch at. If he failed to meet her, his father would truly die.
Frantic, Tang San backed away a few steps.
