Heaven Dou City, Moonlight Pavilion.
As a renowned training ground for hypocrites in the Heaven Dou Empire, Moonlight Pavilion helped dirty nobles don the elegant cloak of respectability every day.
Few knew that Tang Yuehua, the head of Moonlight Pavilion, had another identity: she was the third younger sister of Tang Xiao, the current Clear Sky Sect Master, and Tang Hao, the current Clear Sky Douluo. She was also Tang San's biological aunt.
Back then, because of Ah Yin, the Clear Sky Sect had been forced into seclusion. At the same time, it had lost the support of the four single-attribute clans and its other affiliated sects.
With no source of income, those hammer-swinging hotheads still couldn't bear to sit idle. They were always looking to stir things up across the Douluo Continent. And so, Moonlight Pavilion, founded by Tang Yuehua, came into being.
She had two reasons for opening this noble etiquette school. The first was, naturally, to help the Clear Sky Sect earn enough to cover the daily expenses of a sect that had gone into seclusion. The other was to gather information from across the continent while secretly winning over nobles dissatisfied with Spirit Hall, so that when the Clear Sky Sect eventually returned to the world, it could rally a hundred responses with a single call!
If possible, they could even use Tang Yuehua's Moonlight Pavilion as a way station, allowing all sides to exchange what they had and building a genuine alliance against Spirit Hall. They could truly stand together as one!
The sect master of a certain Support Type sect, who loved to hop around stirring up trouble, declared, "Standing together as one? Sounds great! I wholeheartedly approve!"
Below Moonlight Pavilion, Tang San gazed at the luxurious five-story building, towering dozens of meters high, with unmistakable disgust.
Before they came, Jiang Li had already told him who owned this place. It was one of those naturally evil Tang family members!
"Master, do we really have to go in?"
Tang San felt there was still time to save himself. He truly didn't want anything to do with the Clear Sky Sect.
"Xiao San, even though the people in that sect have done things that disgust you, if you want to obtain enough cultivation resources early on without paying any price, then coming here is undoubtedly your best choice."
"The owner of Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Yuehua, is your biological aunt and your father's third younger sister. I imagine she won't be stingy."
There was one thing Jiang Li hadn't mentioned: after Tang San returned from Slaughter City in the future, Tang Yuehua's Noble Ring would be very useful.
Since they were bound to come here sooner or later, why not come now?
Although he was currently a Soul Douluo-level expert, the money he had obtained from benefactors in years past was running low.
He was Tang San's master, after all. Now that he'd arrived in the Heaven Dou City of wine and women, couldn't he enjoy himself a little?
Besides, Moonlight Pavilion wasn't the only good place in Heaven Dou City.
Once he and Tang San used the Clear Sky Hammer in their hands to bring the Slave Clan to heel, they wouldn't have to handle so many troublesome matters themselves.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Seeing his master put it that way, Tang San chose not to argue.
On second thought, he felt his great master was right. He would use the Clear Sky Sect's resources to improve himself, then destroy that naturally evil sect and offer up its filthy blood to his magnificent mother, who had been schemed against!
Just thinking about it filled Tang San with immense delight!
At the entrance to Moonlight Pavilion, two guards spotted Jiang Li and Tang San, who looked like father and son, along with Xiao Wu, who stood beside them curiously looking around. They had been standing at the entrance without going in, so the guards stepped forward to ask,
"Honored guests, may we ask what brings you to Moonlight Pavilion?"
With the support of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, and with the clothes Tang San and Jiang Li wore being no ordinary attire, they naturally didn't face the kind of trouble Tang Hao had encountered.
Jiang Li couldn't help thinking, Sure enough, clothes make the man.
"Take this to your Pavilion Master, and she'll come down to meet us."
As Jiang Li spoke, he took the Clear Sky Sect's Pope Token, given to him by Tang Hao, from his Storage Soul Tool and handed it to the guard.
The guard didn't know what to make of the little black token in his hand, but Jiang Li had spoken with such certainty that he decided to do as he was told.
On the top floor of Moonlight Pavilion, in a luxurious room, a stunningly beautiful young woman sat quietly before a mirror, lost in sorrow.
She looked no older than twenty-seven or twenty-eight, yet she possessed a stately, noble air and a beauty that could topple a city.
Every movement came as naturally as breathing, her grace seemingly innate, without the slightest trace of artifice.
But her eyes were far too deep, as though they had seen all the wonders of the world. Her calm composure spoke of a woman who had weathered countless trials—something no one in her late twenties could possibly possess.
A silver one-piece court dress hugged her figure perfectly. It traced her graceful curves just right, both dignified and breathtaking, her noble bearing impossible to miss.
This woman was the mistress of Moonlight Pavilion, the Third Miss of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Yuehua.
"Reporting, Pavilion Master! A distinguished-looking man has arrived below with two children. He says he has important business with you."
"This is the token they brought. They said that once you see it, you'll certainly come to meet them."
In a place like Moonlight Pavilion, where etiquette was paramount, the person who came to deliver the message wasn't one of the guards from earlier. It was the Pavilion's steward, a Soul Emperor named Otto.
He respectfully handed the Clear Sky Sect's Pope Token to Tang Yuehua, then withdrew to the doorway to wait.
Hearing this, Tang Yuehua curiously picked up the token.
Almost everyone she dealt with in her daily life was a noble or a member of the royal family, but she couldn't remember ever giving anyone a token.
However, the moment she got a good look at the object in her hand, her eyes flew wide open!
It was a Pope Token!
And the Clear Sky Hammer insignia on it stood out prominently. This meant it was the very token Spirit Hall had issued to the Clear Sky Sect back then!
But wasn't the Pope Token belonging to their Clear Sky Sect in her second brother's hands?
Could it be...
At the thought of that possibility, Tang Yuehua was instantly overcome with excitement!
The elegance and etiquette she had maintained until now vanished. She urgently ordered the steward Otto, "Quick! Go bring the three honored guests up!"
After the steward Otto left to carry out her order, Tang Yuehua sat anxiously beside the window and waited.
"Brother Hao... could it be you?"
Their identities were top secret in Heaven Dou City, and the Clear Sky Sect was currently still in seclusion.
If not for these special circumstances, she would have gone down herself to welcome whoever held the Pope Token!
