Just as Xue Beng stepped out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a sudden fluctuation of soul power erupted around him, and Du Gu Bo appeared in front of him...
Upon seeing the former, who was obviously accustomed to this, he respectfully spoke, "Senior Douluo of Poison!"
Du Gu Bo nodded slightly, then spoke, "Xue Beng, the moment I sensed your presence leaving the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I rushed over. Where are you planning to go?"
Although he stayed close to Prince Xue Xing, his spiritual power constantly covered the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Should Xue Beng have any unusual situation, he would immediately perceive it!
Upon hearing this, Xue Beng patiently replied, "Senior Douluo of Poison, I'm planning to head to the Moon Pavilion; after all, it's been some time since I last went!"
Du Gu Bo was somewhat surprised by this, "Xue Beng, are you still planning to study under Tang Yuehua?"
Xue Beng looked a bit puzzled, "Senior Douluo of Poison, what do you mean by that? Shouldn't I go?"
Du Gu Bo shook his head denying it, "No, that's not what I mean. It's just that continuing to study with Tang Yuehua might not make His Majesty Xue Ye think any more highly of you!"
The initial choice to study with Tang Yuehua was merely out of necessity, but now it obviously wasn't needed anymore!
After all, even Xue Qinghe, due to the attack on the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, barely had a chance to study under Ning Fengzhi!
Xue Beng immediately understood his meaning, "Senior Douluo of Poison, I understand what you mean by now!"
"However, personally, I feel my abilities are indeed far inferior to that impostor brother of mine!"
"Without Chief Tang's guidance, I fear my position in front of my father would be even more precarious."
He had considered canceling the study with Tang Yuehua, but upon careful thought, the cons outweighed the pros!
Du Gu Bo pressed his lips together, unsure of what to say...
"Forget it. Since you are aware of it, do as you wish."
"After all, that impostor Xue Qinghe, without the guidance of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi, might soon be caught up by you."
Upon hearing this, Xue Beng revealed a wry smile...
Catch up with that impostor brother?
I'm afraid even studying beside Chief Tang, or following Sect Master Ning, would make it hard!
However, he certainly wouldn't utter such words; otherwise, wouldn't it truly seem he thought himself lesser than Xue Qinghe?
He took a deep breath, "Then, Senior Douluo of Poison, let's go without further delay."
....
Soon after, the two arrived at the Moon Pavilion...
Looking at the teacher in front of the Moon Pavilion, Xue Beng spoke, "Please inform Chief Tang!"
The former immediately recognized him and responded, "Lord Xue Beng, Chief Tang has instructed that you may enter the Moon Pavilion directly in the future without needing to be announced!"
Xue Beng was slightly surprised but quickly calmed...
"Understood!"
Once said, he exchanged a glance with Du Gu Bo and entered the Moon Pavilion...
Following the familiar path, they soon arrived in front of a room...
Before he even spoke, Tang Yuehua's voice came from inside...
"Is that Lord Xue Beng? Please come in!"
Du Gu Bo saw this and crossed his arms, "Xue Beng, go ahead. I will stand guard outside."
Xue Beng nodded, opened the door, and went in...
Upon seeing Tang Yuehua sitting behind the table, he took a seat opposite her...
"Chief Tang, sorry to trouble you!"
Tang Yuehua gave a slight smile, "Lord Xue Beng, it can't be considered trouble!"
Then, she skillfully poured a cup of tea and pushed it over...
Xue Beng lifted it, took a gentle sip, and then turned his gaze towards her, "Chief Tang, the last few times I came here, I didn't seem to see you. Could you tell me what happened?"
Hearing this, Tang Yuehua showed some apology, "Lord Xue Beng, I have not been at the Moon Pavilion recently; I went to the Hao Tian Clan."
Xue Beng expressed understanding, "So that was it, to make Chief Tang leave without a word, it must have been only that matter."
Perhaps, it was because the situation had become tense again...
He didn't think further, continuing to speak, "Chief Tang, shall we begin today?"
Unexpectedly, hesitation appeared on Tang Yuehua's face...
Noticing something was wrong with her expression, Xue Beng frowned, "Chief Tang, do you have something else to say?"
It always felt like an ominous premonition!
Finally, Tang Yuehua sighed, "Lord Xue Beng, during this time, I have seen your talent and am honored to have taught you, but unfortunately, I fear I must break my promise on this matter."
Xue Beng's tone immediately became somewhat agitated, "Could it be my father on that side..."
Could it be that the impostor Xue Qinghe has done something again, preventing her from continuing to teach him!
Tang Yuehua shook her head, "No, this matter has nothing to do with His Majesty Xue Ye, it's purely for personal reasons."
Xue Beng's lips moved, finally enduring...
"Chief Tang, can you at least give me a reason?"
Tang Yuehua, somewhat unwilling, still explained, "Lord Xue Beng, I didn't wish to hide it from you, you should know, the abyssal creatures' activities have become more frequent, troubling all the forces on the Continent."
"And the Hao Tian Clan is no exception."
Xue Beng exclaimed, "Chief Tang, could it be the Hao Tian Clan was attacked by the abyssal creatures?"
Tang Yuehua looked directly at him, "No, the Hao Tian Clan has not yet encountered an abyssal creature attack, perhaps due to being completely closed off, spies cannot send information out."
"However, precisely because of this, the Hao Tian Clan is concerned, as no one can say whether the abyssal creatures are preparing something more dangerous."
Xue Beng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "So Chief Tang, is it because you need to manage the Hao Tian Clan that you have no time to teach me?"
Tang Yuehua nodded slightly, "Yes, most of my future time might be spent in the Hao Tian Clan."
"This matter has already been reported to His Majesty Xue Ye, and I've received approval."
Xue Beng tightened his fist, but soon released it...
After standing up, he bowed, "I understand, Chief Tang, thank you for your earnest teaching during this time!"
He didn't believe he would be more important to her than the immense Hao Tian Clan!
But the explanation just now also showed it wasn't due to reluctance to teach him, but forced by circumstances!
Tang Yuehua quickly stood up too, "Lord Xue Beng, there's no need for this, it is my honor to have taught such an excellent child as you!"
"It's just a pity, after I leave the imperial palace, your situation there might become more difficult."
She feared, possibly, besides Prince Xue Xing, she was the one who supported Xue Beng the most.
Xue Beng lifted his head, speaking every word clearly, "Chief Tang, I'm already used to it, you don't need to feel guilty."
