Time flew by, and another two years had passed. Mu Chen and Ning Rongrong were now ten years old.

Mu Chen had cultivated to level 26, while Ning Rongrong had reached level 24, making her somewhat inferior by comparison.

But compared to the original story, the gap was far greater. At this rate, they should at least break through to Soul Elder by the age of twelve.

"Rongrong, are you sure you don't want to go there?

You can choose not to go, but Mu Chen has to go. Are you willing to be separated from Mu Chen?" Ning Fengzhi asked, holding Ning Rongrong in his arms.

"Why, Dad? I think those boring noble etiquette lessons are completely useless, and they're both complicated and dull.

I've heard about that place. The conduct of some noble children there is absolutely awful. What if they bully Brother Chen..." Ning Rongrong said worriedly.

"Don't worry. I'm sending Little Chen to Moonlight Pavilion only because I want him to make use of that platform. Nearly all of the Heaven Dou Empire's noble children gather there.

If Little Chen is to take over the sect in the future and lead it to further development, then it's necessary for him to get to know some nobles.

As for your concern that Little Chen might be bullied, I'll speak with them beforehand. Even the Heaven Dou imperial family has to show our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect some respect. You don't need to worry about that, Rongrong." Ning Fengzhi smiled.

In truth, aside from that reason, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo also hoped Mu Chen would ease up on his recent cultivation pace. He was showing signs of becoming a cultivation "maniac."

Meanwhile, Sword Douluo and Mu Chen sat together and talked.

"What, Grandpa Sword?

I don't want to go to Moonlight Pavilion. Those useless things are of no use to me at all. All I want now is to cultivate and raise my cultivation level," Mu Chen said.

What use was that damned place? It was only necessary to go there if one had killed too many utterly vicious people in the City of Slaughter and could not fully control one's killing intent.

"You brat, this matter is settled. The three of us have decided on it. It'll be very beneficial for your future," Sword Douluo said helplessly.

"Moonlight Pavilion is full of nobles who just idle their lives away. The nobles with genuine cultivation talent are all training at the Royal Academy or other Soul Master Academies. Who would waste their time going to a place like that to learn such things?" Mu Chen said bluntly. People like Tang San were, after all, a minority.

Speaking of Moonlight Pavilion, right, Moonlight Pavilion!

Moonlight Pavilion!

Xue Ke!

Qian Renxue! If he was at Moonlight Pavilion, perhaps he could run into Qian Renxue.

Of course, she was currently Xue Qinghe.

"Hey, brat, no one is telling you not to cultivate. You can still cultivate. Go and give it a try first.

If you really don't want to go, then I'll just speak to Fengzhi about it," Sword Douluo said after sidestepping the issue.

"Fine, then I'll go there." Mu Chen pondered for a while before speaking.

"Mm. Don't spend all your time thinking only about cultivation," Sword Douluo said.

"By the way, Little Chen, your Soul Power cultivation has been quite good over the past two years. How has your sword path cultivation been lately?" Sword Douluo asked.

"My sword path cultivation seems to have hit a bottleneck. Even after all this time, I still haven't touched the threshold of Sword Momentum." Mu Chen sighed.

"Don't be too anxious. Sword path cultivation cannot be rushed. You're only nine years old now; just take things step by step.

Perhaps all you lack is an opportunity. Maybe you'll comprehend it at Moonlight Pavilion." Sword Douluo was actually somewhat "happy"? This kid's cultivation talent was simply monstrous. Sword Douluo himself had only comprehended Sword Momentum when he became a Soul King.

"Mm~"

Mu Chen nodded and looked into the distance.

Xue'er, soon, perhaps we'll be able to meet again. When that time comes, I'll fulfill the words I left behind back then.

Sword Douluo was baffled when he saw Mu Chen like this. The boy seemed to be looking forward to something.

Whatever. His task here could be considered complete.

He only hoped Little Chen would have a smooth time there—not causing trouble, but not fearing it either.

A few days later, Mu Chen and the others bid farewell to Ning Rongrong.

Since Ning Fengzhi had matters to discuss with Xue Ye, he headed to Heaven Dou City together with Mu Chen and Sword Douluo, while Bone Douluo remained at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

In the most prosperous area at the center of Heaven Dou City, the three stopped before a tall building.

It was a five-story pavilion, considered a relatively tall structure within Heaven Dou City. It gave off an overall feeling of elegance and antiquity. Two simple words were written on the plaque above its entrance—"Moonlight Pavilion."

Just as Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Mu Chen stepped down from their carriage, two people dressed in green emerged from inside.

Behind them was a graceful and luxurious beautiful woman who appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Yet her eyes seemed able to see through everything. Her silver court dress fit her perfectly, outlining her graceful figure, while her lovely face carried a gentle, warm smile.

"Sect Master Ning, Your Excellency Sword Douluo, Yuehua greets you." Tang Yuehua smiled at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

If the visitors had been anyone else, Tang Yuehua might not have personally come out to receive them. But this time, it was Ning Fengzhi.

He was the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the three upper sects in the Soul Master world. His status was noble, and he was also the Heaven Dou imperial family's greatest support in the Soul Master world, standing against Spirit Hall's tyranny.

In a sense, Ning Fengzhi was also a "friend" of the Clear Sky Sect, so he naturally deserved such treatment.

"Mm. I believe the Pavilion Master of Moonlight Pavilion already knows why we are here. Little Chen will be in your care for the next year or so."

Ning Fengzhi nodded in greeting, then had Mu Chen step forward from behind him.

Tang Yuehua smiled slightly as she looked at Mu Chen, who had the appearance of a little boy. Her Noble Ring Domain spread out, making her seem even nobler and more elegant. It was also Mu Chen's first time seeing someone like her.

"Little one, what is your name?" Tang Yuehua asked with a smile.

Mu Chen was indeed quite lovable-looking. Especially to a woman Tang Yuehua's age, seeing Mu Chen made maternal affection well up within her. She even had the urge to pull him straight into her arms and thoroughly ruffle his head.

"Aunt Tang, my name is Mu Chen. For the next year, I'll be studying under you."

Mu Chen replied sweetly, looking exceptionally adorable.

But the corner of Sword Douluo's mouth twitched slightly. Who could have imagined that this harmless-looking little fellow had nearly defeated the younger generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect all by himself two years ago?

"Bathed in sweet dew by day, among flowers through spring and autumn, stars shone like the wind last night.

It truly is a fine name. From now on, I'll teach you all kinds of noble etiquette and music, as well as how to control your emotions." Tang Yuehua smiled gently.
