Moonlight Pavilion's Daily Routine

Honestly, I never expected my name to have such a meaning. Impressive indeed.

Although Tang Yuehua had only ninth-level Soul Power, she possessed a domain and could even teach others to control their emotions. But why was someone like her a member of the Clear Sky Sect? She was even a direct-line disciple, Tang Hao's younger sister! This meant that the relationship between the two of them was almost destined to be one of opposition.

Just as Mu Chen was feeling somewhat regretful, Tang Yuehua took his hand. Her fair, delicate hand held his, its warmth making Mu Chen feel quite comfortable.

The moment she held Mu Chen's small hand, Tang Yuehua looked at him in surprise, her eyes carrying a trace of pity.

Such rough hands, such thick calluses... who knew what this child had experienced at such a young age? They must have been traces left behind by cultivation.

Yet none of these thoughts showed on her face. Tang Yuehua still appeared as elegant and gracious as ever.

"Uncle Ning, Grandpa Sword, goodbye!" Mu Chen said as he looked at the two of them.

"Mm, study well and be a little more obedient," Ning Fengzhi said.

But Sword Douluo added directly, "If you truly can't get used to it, have someone notify us. We'll come take you back."

Sword Douluo looked at Mu Chen before him and sighed inwardly. He had spent quite a few years with this little fellow, and now that they were suddenly separating, he really was not used to it.

"Fengzhi, let's go." Sword Douluo turned and boarded the carriage, with Ning Fengzhi following behind him.

After seeing Sword Douluo raise and lower his right hand, Mu Chen merely shook his head and smiled as the two rode off toward the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"Grandpa Sword~" Mu Chen had seen Sword Douluo's gesture. Though Sword Douluo had his back to him, Mu Chen's sharp eyes had still caught it.

Come to think of it, Sword Douluo had no children in his life. Mu Chen could be considered half a son to him. They could talk about it later—he was not like that fellow Tang San.

But if Tang Yuehua treated him well now and over the course of this year, how should he deal with the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao in the future?

Mu Chen suddenly regretted coming here. At the time, he had only thought about being able to meet Qian Renxue here and had overlooked this matter.

Feelings!

But since he was already here, he could not possibly sneak away now, could he?

Tang Yuehua then led Mu Chen into Moonlight Pavilion by the hand. Although Tang Yuehua possessed only ninth-level Soul Power, Mu Chen could have broken free with just a little force.

Still, Mu Chen obediently allowed her to lead him inside, and the doors of Moonlight Pavilion closed behind them.

At the top of Moonlight Pavilion was a huge hall, each level decorated more elegantly than the last. Every furnishing was made from agarwood, which was more expensive than gold of equal weight.

The agarwood filled Moonlight Pavilion with a faint fragrance that refreshed the mind and calmed one's emotions.

"I know you are a genius Soul Master. Your talent surpasses that of every child I have ever seen, and you carry an air of killing intent.

"The calluses on your hands also prove just how diligently you have cultivated to achieve what you have today.

"But the first thing I must tell you is that what I will teach you is not useless. Relying on strength alone cannot obtain everything you want. Learning to control your emotions is also part of strength.

"I know why Sect Master Ning sent you here. Strong social skills can also become a powerful aid to you in the future.

"Only a hundred people from the entire Heaven Dou Empire can come here each year. Aside from a very few exceptions, everyone here is a true noble, people who will become the standards of the Heaven Dou Empire in the future. They will be fully capable of helping you later on.

"During the day, you will study these things with me. At night, you may cultivate.

"Can you do that?" Tang Yuehua asked as she walked.

"Alright~" Mu Chen nodded.

Of course, his main reason for coming here was still Qian Renxue. Learning other things would simply be an added bonus.

As for befriending other people, forget it. He did not have that much time or energy, and he still had many things of his own to do.

"That's good~"

Tang Yuehua smiled at the child, who was sparing with words and somewhat aloof, then continued walking deeper inside.

The days that followed were rather easy and monotonous. During the day, Tang Yuehua taught Mu Chen together with the other noble children, instructing them in aristocratic etiquette and musical theory. At night, Mu Chen cultivated his swordsmanship and Soul Power alone.

During his study of musical theory, Mu Chen truly gained some new insights. It seemed to be of some help to his swordsmanship cultivation, and his former resistance toward noble etiquette and music gradually faded.

Unfortunately, even after staying here for some time, Mu Chen still had not seen Qian Renxue.

More precisely, Xue Qinghe.

It seemed Xue Qinghe was not here to study these things. He was probably learning how to handle the empire's major affairs, which somewhat strayed from Mu Chen's original purpose in coming here.

But there would always be a chance in the future, so Mu Chen was not in a hurry. After all, he and Qian Renxue had "agreed" to meet within three years.

One day, Mu Chen gazed out the window in boredom. Within Moonlight Pavilion, quite a few noble young ladies secretly watched his handsome appearance, their hearts fluttering.

This little boy had been at Moonlight Pavilion for several weeks now. Not long after arriving, he had displayed a formidable talent for music.

In class, he often drew inferences from one example and repeatedly displayed his excellence. Yet he seemed indifferent toward everyone and never took the initiative to speak with others. That aloof demeanor only made these noble young ladies like him even more.

This made quite a few noble boys grit their teeth in secret. This fellow was still so young, yet girls already liked him this much. What would happen when he grew older?

More importantly, they all thought highly of themselves, and their future wives would most likely be chosen from among these noble young ladies. Yet the situation was now like this, giving them a distinct feeling of being cuckolded. It was truly hard to bear.

Of course, they did not dare use any other methods. They had all received warnings from their family elders and Teacher Tang Yuehua.

Although this boy was not a direct-line disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, his relationship with Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo was anything but ordinary. He was also Sword Douluo's only disciple.

The status of being Sword Douluo's only disciple alone was already terrifying. With the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as his backing, none of their statuses could compare to Mu Chen's.

"Big Brother Mu Chen! My big brother said he'll come see me tomorrow."

A little girl in a wind-colored princess dress came before Mu Chen and spoke.

She was indeed an adorable little girl, and the only one among these people who could speak with Mu Chen.
