Fifth Update: Time Flies! A Graceful Young Man! (Second Update! Please Vote!)

Ever since Tang Yuehua had taught Su Yi about music that day, she had discovered that this cool, indifferent little boy before her possessed unparalleled talent in music.

After she explained all the knowledge of music to him once, the little fellow was already able to play instruments such as the guqin and organ.

Su Yi gave Tang Yuehua a huge surprise in this regard.

From then on, Tang Yuehua began bringing her Direct Disciple to attend classes with those noble-born youths.

The young men and women who could study under Tang Yuehua all held high status within noble circles.

Moreover, after Su Yi joined the class, whenever there was a break, the noble girls in the class would gather around him.

They talked about all sorts of things, hoping to catch the cool boy's attention.

No matter what those girls said to Su Yi or asked him, he remained silent.

Even though the girls could feel the coldness radiating from Su Yi and see the expression that kept people at a thousand miles' distance, none of them developed the slightest dislike for him.

The more Su Yi acted this way, the more excited they became.

In private, the girls competed over who could make Su Yi speak to her first, taking great pride in it.

Unfortunately, Su Yi had already been attending this class for ten days. No matter how those lovestruck girls spoke to him, they had never managed to make him say a word.

As for the noble youths in the class, every one of them regarded Su Yi as a thorn in their side. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent whenever they looked at him.

If looks could kill, Su Yi would have died countless times already.

He was so popular at such a young age. If he grew any older, would he leave them any chance to survive? Still, although they resented Su Yi, they did not dare retaliate.

The reason was simple: this fellow was the Direct Disciple of the Master of Moon Pavilion.

That status alone was far, far higher than the status of noble-born youths like them.

"Yue Guan, has any news come back from Heaven Dou Imperial City?"

Bibi Dong, seated in the Pope's Chair, looked at Yue Guan standing before her and asked softly.

"Reporting to His Holiness the Pope, no news has returned."

"Very well, I understand. You may leave."

"Yes, His Holiness the Pope!"

Gazing at the grand hall before her, Bibi Dong leaned languidly against the Pope's Chair. Her right hand supported her head against the armrest while her thumb and forefinger gently pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Ah..."

A weak sigh softly echoed through the empty Pope's Palace.

Who knew what she was thinking about? Bibi Dong suddenly let out another weary sigh, then leaned against the Pope's Chair and drifted off to sleep.

Time flew, and nearly two years passed in the blink of an eye.

"Little Yi, in one month, it will be this year's students' graduation ceremony. When the time comes, I'll have you perform onstage. Are you confident?"

Tang Yuehua looked at the handsome young man standing before her, already 1.72 meters tall. Her eyes were filled with satisfaction and affection.

Sword-like brows, starry eyes, a tall, sharply defined nose, thin lips, and a resolute face that seemed carved by the gods. His long black hair was tied into a ponytail that hung behind his back.

The most captivating thing about the young man was not his handsome face, but his eyes.

His eyes held a gentle tranquility. With just a faint smile, he made others feel as though they were basking in a spring breeze.

This was not particularly unusual. Many people had gentleness and tranquility in their eyes, and their smiles could make others feel as though they were basking in a spring breeze. Such people were not rare.

The reason his eyes were said to be the most captivating was that, upon closer inspection, behind that gentleness and tranquility lay an indifference that disregarded everything.

That hidden indifference added an air of noble dominance to this youth, who already carried an aristocratic bearing—something even royal descendants did not possess.

It was because of those eyes that two utterly different auras appeared upon him.

The refined elegance of a scholar, and an untouchable, lofty coolness.

These two auras, which should not have appeared in the same person, existed simultaneously within him.

Yet they did not seem out of place at all. They only made the youth seem incomparably mysterious.

As Tang Yuehua looked at the young man before her, only one thought arose in her heart: A man on the road is like jade; no gentleman in this world can compare. What a graceful young man.

The youth was none other than Su Yi, who had studied in Moonlight Pavilion under Tang Yuehua's side for two years.

Hearing Tang Yuehua's words, Su Yi smiled faintly at her and performed a noble's salute. "I am. When the time comes, I definitely won't bring you disgrace."

Hearing Su Yi's gentle voice, tinged with a faint coolness, Tang Yuehua looked at the youth before her and fell into thought.

The little fellow who had once been around 1.2 meters tall had now grown to around 1.7 meters.

In merely two years, that cool youth who had once worn a cold expression and whose eyes had been filled with indifference had grown into this.

That little fellow who had once been sparing with words, unable even to smile, and who kept everyone around him at a distance now made people feel as though they were basking in a spring breeze whenever he smiled.

His speech was polite and refined. Among the many noble youths, the young man who had initially made them jealous and resentful had won them over willingly through the innate nobility he exuded in every word and gesture.

In just two years, even Tang Yuehua herself had never imagined that the child from back then would grow to this extent.

"Little fellow, if you take a fancy to any girl then, tell your teacher. I'll make the arrangements for you."

Hearing Tang Yuehua's words, a figure suddenly appeared in Su Yi's mind.

The figure of someone who resembled him, someone he wished to protect. He smiled faintly. "Teacher, there is already someone in my heart whom I wish to protect for the rest of my life."

Hearing Su Yi's words and seeing the genuine smile in his eyes as he spoke, Tang Yuehua froze slightly. "Is it that child Xue Qing?"

"No, Teacher. Is prying further into someone else's private affairs something a noble should do?"

With that, Su Yi smiled at Tang Yuehua before him.

With a bang, Tang Yuehua reached out and flicked Su Yi on the forehead. Wearing an expression of feigned anger, she said, "I'm your teacher. Why can't I ask?"

"Teacher, it's almost time for class. We should hurry to the classroom."

"After all, being late is disgraceful."

As Su Yi spoke, he flashed past Tang Yuehua and ran off into the distance.

"You brat!"

Tang Yuehua watched Su Yi flee, and he made her laugh in exasperation. She then followed after him.

Everyone, don't panic when you see this. The protagonist is still the same protagonist. He has simply learned how to disguise himself now. No matter how cold a person is, as long as he is not a weapon or a puppet, he has emotions. Besides, there was foreshadowing earlier that the protagonist's sealed emotions had been unlocked. And as the text just said, the indifference hidden in his eyes also shows that the protagonist has merely disguised himself. The truly exciting part is about to begin.

As for Tang Yuehua, she is not the female lead. She can only be said to be rather special. Keep reading, and there will not be too many spoilers.

And don't say that the protagonist has changed too much. Those who have read the original know that after Tang San left the City of Slaughter, his father brought him to Moonlight Pavilion to temper himself. This borrows from that—just as Tang San came to Yue Hua after leaving the City of Slaughter to grind away his violent aura and killing intent, he has also hidden his killing intent. In fact, Tang Yuehua's Noble Ring domain is truly powerful under certain circumstances. Su Yi is the same. His personality has not truly changed; he has simply learned to hide and disguise himself. I only ask that everyone keep reading. This Douluo Fanfiction will definitely be a quality work.

I also beg everyone not to stockpile chapters. We have nearly ten thousand favorites and are ninth on the New Book Ranking, but we do not even have eight thousand votes. There are too few votes, so I'm desperately asking for them.

Lulu has also said that as long as we enter the top eight of the New Book Ranking, four updates a day will be offered with both hands. Eighth and ninth place are separated by only one rank. As long as you do not stockpile chapters and everyone votes, surpassing eighth place will be easy.

Lastly, please favorite and vote, vote!
