"Your Holiness the Pope, news has arrived from Heavenly Capital Imperial City."

Inside Pope's Palace, Yue Guan suddenly appeared. Looking at Bibi Dong seated in the Pope's Chair, a trace of joy appeared on his face.

"What news?"

Hearing Yue Guan's words, a flicker of delight flashed through Bibi Dong's calm eyes as she sat upon the Pope's Chair.

The moment she saw Yue Guan appear and heard his words, she already had a faint guess in her heart.

Hearing Bibi Dong's question, Yue Guan smiled. "Reporting to Your Holiness, Charles has sent back news about that little fellow Su Yi."

"Speak!"

Hearing Yue Guan's words, Bibi Dong suppressed the excitement rising in her heart as she spoke.

Hearing Bibi Dong's command, Yue Guan smiled. "Reporting to Your Holiness, Charles says that little fellow Su Yi will perform at Moonlight Pavilion's Graduation Ceremony in half a month."

"In other words, that little fellow has now achieved the transformation you spoke of. Once the Graduation Ceremony is over, he can return from Moonlight Pavilion!"

"That little girl Nana misses him terribly. To suppress her longing for him, she has been training desperately these past two years, just so she would not have the chance to think about him."

"In merely two years, Nana has already broken through to Soul Ancestor. Old Ghost has already taken that little girl to hunt for her fourth soul ring. At this rate, in just a few years, that girl will likely become a Soul King."

As he spoke, a trace of excitement appeared in Yue Guan's eyes.

"A Graduation Ceremony performance?"

As Bibi Dong spoke, she stared blankly ahead, her thoughts drifting somewhere unknown.

"Yue Guan!"

"Your subordinate is here."

"Prepare a carriage. We will personally bring that little fellow back."

Bibi Dong looked at Yue Guan standing below her and spoke.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

Time flowed on, and thirteen days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Little Yi, the Graduation Ceremony gala is the day after tomorrow. How are your preparations?"

At night, Tang Yuehua came to Su Yi's room. Watching Su Yi seated inside and playing the guqin, she gently closed her eyes as she listened to the melodious, graceful tune.

Once the melody ended, Tang Yuehua opened her eyes and slowly asked Su Yi.

"Don't worry, Teacher. Nothing will go wrong."

Hearing Su Yi's answer, Tang Yuehua smiled faintly. "Good. Then I'm relieved. Get some proper rest."

With that, Tang Yuehua turned and left Su Yi's room.

"Your subordinate pays respects to Your Holiness the Pope!"

At Charles's Marquis's Mansion, Charles saw Bibi Dong and Yue Guan arrive and knelt before Bibi Dong in salute.

"Rise."

Looking at Charles kneeling before her, Bibi Dong waved her hand, her voice carrying a touch of gentleness and nobility.

"How long until Moon Pavilion's Graduation Ceremony?"

Hearing Bibi Dong's question, Charles respectfully replied, "Reporting to Your Holiness, there is only one day left until the Holy Son's Graduation Ceremony. Tomorrow night will be the Holy Son's Graduation Ceremony."

"Do you have invitations to Moonlight Pavilion's Graduation Ceremony?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, there happen to be three seats available!"

"Very good. Tomorrow night, we will go to Moonlight Pavilion together!"

Hearing Charles's response, Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction. Then, looking at Yue Guan, she said, "Yue Guan, change your clothes. We will disguise ourselves before entering, so they do not recognize us."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yue Guan vanished from before her and went to prepare his clothes.

A day later, at night.

"Little Yi, how are the preparations?"

Tang Yuehua had originally come to ask Su Yi how his preparations were going, but when she saw him dressed in a black tailcoat, a flash of amazement appeared in her eyes.

"Little Yi, where did you have this outfit made? I've never seen such a style before. Even in the Heaven Dou Empire, no one could design clothing like this."

Seeing the amazement in Tang Yuehua's eyes, Su Yi smiled faintly. "I had this outfit custom-made outside. They made it according to the drawings I gave them."

"I never expected you little rascal to have such talent as well. What is this outfit called?"

Hearing Tang Yuehua's question, Su Yi smiled faintly. "A tailcoat."

"A tailcoat?"

Hearing Su Yi's words, Tang Yuehua first looked puzzled. Then, seeing the two split black tails behind him that resembled a swallow's tail, her eyes lit up. "A good name. Very fitting. You got the inspiration for this outfit from a Swift, didn't you?"

"Mm."

"You little rascal were already charming enough. Now that you're wearing this outfit, who knows how many young girls outside will have their hearts stolen by you."

As Tang Yuehua spoke, she lightly tapped Su Yi's forehead with her index finger.

"Teacher, I haven't stolen their hearts."

Seeing the smile on Su Yi's face, Tang Yuehua's eyes were full of gratification and satisfaction.

"Alright, let's hurry to the Graduation Ceremony!"

With that, Tang Yuehua brought Su Yi toward the Graduation Ceremony venue.

"Wow!"

"Su Yi is way too handsome today!"

"It's over, it's over. I feel like I won't marry anyone but Su Yi for the rest of my life."

"What do you mean, you feel like it? I've been that way for ages, okay?"

At the Graduation Ceremony performance venue, when Su Yi, dressed in a black tailcoat, entered alongside Tang Yuehua, who wore a noble pale-blue Glazed Dress,

both men and women cried out in amazement.

The young girls in particular had peach-colored hearts in their eyes as they stared at Su Yi. They wanted nothing more than to "devour" the man who had entered and claim him for themselves.

They had all heard that the performer at this Graduation Ceremony was the Direct Disciple of the Master of Moon Pavilion.

The Master of Moon Pavilion had also said that this Direct Disciple of hers was the finest student she had ever taught.

Even in the future, there might not be anyone capable of surpassing him.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong and Yue Guan, seated in a corner with black masks on, stared at Su Yi walking behind Tang Yuehua, their eyes filled with disbelief.

If Bibi Dong had not noticed the deep coldness and indifference hidden beneath Su Yi's gentle, tranquil eyes, she would never have been able to connect this youth, as handsome as Pan An, with the little Su Yi who had once left Spirit Hall.

Even though they had prepared themselves for the little fellow's transformation, seeing it with their own eyes made it almost impossible to believe.

"Y-Your Highness, is this... is this really that little fellow?"

Only after a long while did Yue Guan come back to his senses. Looking at Bibi Dong beside him, he stammered out the question.

"It is him!"

Hearing Yue Guan's words, Bibi Dong's lips curved upward into a faint smile.

At this moment, Bibi Dong was in an excellent mood.

Because the instant that little fellow entered, he had noticed her.
