The news released by Heaven Dou Auction House through Ma Rulong quickly spread among the Heaven Dou noble circles. The noblewomen, in particular, were incredibly excited, as some of them had taken Yuhua Pill the previous month, which made their skin much smoother, and they even used less rouge and powder for their daily makeup. This time, they were determined to buy it no matter what.
The news spread wider and wider. After two days, it quickly reached the Two Great Empires, various Grand Duchies, Spirit Hall, and all the great Sects.
"Yuhua Pill has appeared again? How interesting. I'd like to see who can refine such a miraculous pill."
Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall immediately became interested when she heard the news. Last month, she had obtained two pills through various channels. After taking one, she was incredibly surprised. She then summoned Yang Wushuang of the Breaking Clan, hoping to uncover its secret, but he failed.
It's important to know that Yang Wushuang, like Yang Wudi, was proficient in all kinds of rare medicines in the world. The fact that even he couldn't figure it out was simply unbelievable.
Bibi Dong asked Chrysanthemum Douluo to temporarily handle the Supreme Pontiff's duties, then called Flame Eagle Douluo Ling Yan, and secretly rushed to Heaven Dou City. Both were female Douluo, and they were very interested in such a miraculous pill that could enhance beauty and youth.
At the same time, the royal families of the Two Great Empires, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and leaders of other Sects also became interested and began to take action.
These powerful figures also wanted to meet the master who refined the pill. If they could obtain this refining method, it would be a huge gain.
After Dugu Bo, Shui Lingfeng, Shui Lanxin, and others in Tianshui City received the news, they immediately knew that Xiao Jiahuo was behind it and instantly felt a headache.
"Dean Shui, it's clear that Xiao Chen deliberately had Ma Rulong of the Heaven Dou Auction House heavily promote the pill. Xiao Jiahuo has gone big this time."
Dugu Bo couldn't understand what that Xiao Jiahuo was up to with Ye Liangchen's audacious behavior.
"Yes, I wonder what that brat is up to? With such extensive promotion, people from all major forces will gather in Heaven Dou City, and the scene will be huge."
Shui Lanxin was very helpless. Every time Xiao Jiahuo went out, he would always cause some commotion, and each time it was bigger than the last.
"Mother! I'm worried. Let's go to Heaven Dou City and see. I have a feeling this Xiao Jiahuo will cause a big stir." Shui Lingfeng was a little worried, so she reminded Shui Lanxin to go and meet him.
"Mother! My sister and I will go and see what that brat is up to!"
The Shui Lanxin Sisters immediately set off and quickly rushed to Heaven Dou City to meet with Xiao Jiahuo.
However, Ye Liangchen, the instigator, was completely unconcerned about the news of the Yuhua Pill spreading throughout the continent. At this moment, he was taking Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing on a stroll around Heaven Dou City.
"As expected of the Imperial Capital, it's truly prosperous…"
The three of them walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they arrived at Ye Suling's former medical clinic. Ye Liangchen found that the clinic was still open, and its sign had changed to Zhang's Medical Clinic. It seemed that after he beat Xue Beng last month, Ye Suling sold the clinic that very night and then took her entire clan to flee with him.
Ye Liangchen and the two girls continued to stroll. An hour later, they arrived at a beautiful small lake, where they saw a beautiful building with a sign that read "Moon Pavilion."
"I heard the Princess will be attending class at Moon Pavilion today. Let's go quickly and see."
"Really?"
"Yes! My cousin said so; she works in the imperial palace."
"Then let's quickly find a good spot."
It was morning, and many young men and women in luxurious clothing gathered on the street, entering Moon Pavilion. These were all children of Heaven Dou nobles, and upon hearing that the Heaven Dou Princess was coming to Moon Pavilion, they naturally had to show their support.
"I can't believe we actually came to Moon Pavilion."
Shui Bing'er looked at the two large characters for Moon Pavilion, recalling that her mother had once mentioned Moon Pavilion. She heard it was opened by a woman named Tang Yuehua and was even related to the Clear Sky Sect.
"Bing'er Jie, what kind of place is Moon Pavilion?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.
"I don't know either. I heard from my mother that it was opened by a great beauty named Tang Yuehua."
"Xiao Chen, what are you looking at?"
Shui Bing'er turned her head and saw Ye Liangchen staring at the Moon Pavilion building, so she asked curiously.
"Let's go to Moon Pavilion and take a look."
Ye Liangchen greeted the two girls and walked towards Moon Pavilion. Since they were already here, he naturally had to see Tang Yuehua, as she was also a goddess-level beauty.
"Xiao Chen, Mother said Moon Pavilion is related to the Clear Sky Sect. Maybe we shouldn't go?" Shui Bing'er leaned close to Ye Liangchen's ear and quietly advised him.
"It's fine. We're just going to look, not to fight. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, they don't know our identities, so there's no need to worry."
"Alright! We'll listen to you. I heard that the Pavilion Master Tang Yuehua is also a great beauty. Let's go and see her too!"
Seeing Ye Liangchen's insistence, Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing had no choice but to follow him into Moon Pavilion.
Moon Pavilion was a noble music academy opened by Tang Yuehua, and also a contact point for the Clear Sky Sect outside. Tang Yuehua also used her beauty and wisdom to teach these noble children music and noble etiquette, establishing a firm foothold in Tiandou Imperial City.
The Tiandou Royal Family knew that Moon Pavilion was backed by the Clear Sky Sect, so they were naturally happy to let Tang Yuehua develop in Heaven Dou City and even sent people to guard Moon Pavilion.
Tang Yuehua was a great beauty, and the Tiandou Royal Family high-ranking officials welcomed her, especially Prince Xue Xing, that LSP. He even had some ill intentions. If it weren't for his consideration of the Clear Sky Sect behind Tang Yuehua, he would have already made a move on her.
Moon Pavilion only welcomed nobles, and the attire had to be luxurious and neat, similar to a high-end club; ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
When Ye Liangchen led the two girls into Moon Pavilion, the guards at the entrance were very surprised, thinking, "This young man actually brought two exquisite beauties, how impressive!"
"Young Master, you look a bit unfamiliar! Are you here to sign up for music lessons?"
A young guard saw Ye Liangchen and the two girls dressed in luxurious clothes, assuming they were also noble children, and did not stop them.
"Elder Brother, we heard our elders mention Moon Pavilion and wanted to come and see. How does one attend classes at Moon Pavilion?"
"Oh! I see. You can go into the main hall, there's a counter in the right corner. There are two beautiful teachers there, just find them."
"Thank you, Elder Brother."
"You're welcome."
Ye Liangchen and the two girls inquired with the young guard and then walked directly into Moon Pavilion.
Upon entering Moon Pavilion, they saw many young handsome men and beautiful women gathered in groups of three or five. These were all noble children. Everyone looked at the arrival of Ye Liangchen's group with curious gazes, especially Shui Bing'er and Xiao Maomi, two exquisite beauties, who were even more eye-catching.
"This guy is amazing! He actually brought two exquisite beauties."
Some young masters in the hall, seeing goddess-level beauties like Shui Bing'er and Xiao Maomi, immediately felt that their female companions were no longer as appealing.
Ye Liangchen ignored those people and led Shui Bing'er and the others to the two beautiful teachers, inquiring about attending classes at Moon Pavilion.
"Young Master, please wait a moment. I will inform the Pavilion Master."
The two beautiful teachers saw that Ye Liangchen and the two girls had extraordinary temperaments, especially Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing, who were both exquisite beauties and promising talents, so they had to inform the Pavilion Master.
"Tap, tap, tap…"
Before long, the sound of high heels echoed as the female teacher, accompanied by a stunningly beautiful woman full of noble aura, walked down from the second floor.
"The Pavilion Master is out!" some students exclaimed.
This stunningly beautiful woman was Tang Yuehua, the master of Moon Pavilion. She looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, dignified and virtuous, with an elegant posture, willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, and wearing a tight-fitting long dress that perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure, looking like a ripe, incredibly alluring peach.
After Tang Yuehua came down from upstairs to the main hall, she took long, graceful strides, stepping with an enigmatic gait, and walked gracefully to Ye Liangchen and the two girls.
When she saw Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing, Tang Yuehua exclaimed in her heart, "These two girls are so fresh and lovely."
"Do the three of you wish to study at Moon Pavilion?" Tang Yuehua asked Ye Liangchen.
"Our elders told us that Moon Pavilion is very famous in Heaven Dou City, so we came to see."
Ye Liangchen said calmly, looking at this stunningly beautiful woman full of noble aura. It was hard to imagine that she came from the Clear Sky Sect, known for wielding large hammers. Fortunately, she couldn't cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit and was born with a noble aura, otherwise, the sight of such a great beauty swinging a hammer would be too beautiful to behold.
"Oh! In that case, please sign up!"
Looking at the temperaments of Ye Liangchen, Shui Bing'er, and Zhu Zhuqing, Tang Yuehua believed the three must be nobles, so she asked them to register.
"Li Qingfeng, Li Bingling, Li Qingling, are you three siblings?"
Tang Yuehua looked at the fake names of Ye Liangchen and the two girls, thinking they were indeed a bit strange.
"The Pavilion Master can think so!" Ye Liangchen used fake names for all three of them, letting the other party think whatever they wanted.
Just then, a young man and woman walked into the entrance of Moon Pavilion, causing exclamations from the crowd.
"The Crown Prince actually came with the Princess!"
Tang Yuehua immediately took long, graceful strides and walked to Xue Qinghe, bowing elegantly.
"Greetings, Crown Prince."
"Aunt Yuehua, please rise quickly. I'm just accompanying my Imperial Sister to class today."
Xue Qinghe immediately helped Tang Yuehua up, then looked at Princess Snow Ke beside him. When his gaze swept to Ye Liangchen and the two girls in the distance, his eyes lit up.
"Teacher Yuehua." Snow Ke also greeted Tang Yuehua sweetly.
"Since the Princess has arrived, let's begin class!"
Upon seeing Princess Snow Ke, Tang Yuehua immediately announced the start of class.
Shui Bing'er didn't pay much attention to the arrival of the Crown Prince and Princess. Instead, she was very curious about Tang Yuehua, the master of Moon Pavilion, thinking: "This Tang Yuehua is quite beautiful, dignified and virtuous, with an elegant posture. I wonder what it would look like if she wielded a large hammer."
Just then, two young men approached Ye Liangchen and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what should we call you?"
"I am Li Qingfeng. And you two, gentlemen?"
It is rude not to reciprocate. Seeing someone actively greet him, Ye Liangchen had no choice but to use a fake name and interact with them.
"Lu Ran."
"Zhang Lin."
These two saw Ye Liangchen's extraordinary demeanor and that he brought two exquisite beauties, thinking he must also be from a powerful family, so they decided to get to know him.
"Brother Li, what do you think? Isn't the Pavilion Master beautiful?"
Lu Ran and Zhang Lin whispered, occasionally glancing at Tang Yuehua, who was lecturing on the stage.
"Haha…! Gentlemen, so you have such hobbies."
Ye Liangchen looked at the two guys beside him and couldn't help but tease them.
"Brother Li, to tell you the truth, most of the male students who come to Moon Pavilion for classes are almost all here to see the Pavilion Master. Don't look at her age being older than us, but she's beautiful! And her temperament is excellent, she's simply exquisite."
"Exactly, exactly. In the Heaven Dou noblewomen's circle, the Pavilion Master ranks first, Dean Liu of Blue Tyrant Academy ranks second, and Ye Clan Leader ranks third…"
Lu Ran and Zhang Lin even secretly shared such gossip, which Ye Liangchen found very interesting.
However, Ye Liangchen felt that these guys' rankings were problematic. Tang Yuehua was only a Rank 9 Spirit Master. Although she was beautiful, as she aged, she couldn't resist the erosion of time, and faint crow's feet had appeared at the corners of her eyes. Compared to high-level Spirit Masters like Liu Erlong and Ye Suling, she was still a bit lacking.
"Next, Young Master Wang Wei, please come on stage to perform the harp."
Just then, Tang Yuehua's voice sounded.
Everyone who came here to study music had to perform on stage.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap…"
Someone came on stage to perform, and everyone immediately applauded, as they were all from the same circle.
"Thank you, everyone."
After Wang Wei came on stage, he smiled at everyone, then sat by the harp and began to play.
"Hiss, hiss… Buzz, buzz… Hiss, hiss…"
Holy cow! What the hell is that sound? It sounds like mosquitoes buzzing.
Ye Liangchen felt that this guy came to Moon Pavilion just to see beautiful women and didn't seriously study any music.
"What's wrong with the Pavilion Master today? She actually let this guy perform on stage?" Many students in the hall didn't understand either.
"Gentlemen, we'll take our leave first."
Ye Liangchen bid farewell to the two overly familiar guys, stood up, and motioned for Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing to leave.
Since Qian Renxue was here, it was better to leave to avoid any unexpected incidents.
"Student Li Qingfeng, why are you leaving?"
Tang Yuehua, as a teacher, saw her newly enrolled students actually leaving halfway through her class, which made her feel disrespected.
Others in the hall also turned their heads, looking at this new student who dared to leave class midway, very curious. Xue Qinghe, disguised as Qian Renxue, also stared at Ye Liangchen curiously.
"Pavilion Master, that student Wang's playing is really too unpleasant, like mosquitoes buzzing. We can't listen anymore, so we have to leave."
Ye Liangchen had no choice but to pretend to speak frankly, preparing to slip away.
"Hahaha…! Wang Wei, look at what you're playing? You've scared off the new students."
"Hahaha…"
Lu Ran and Zhang Lin cheered from the side, causing others to burst into laughter.
Wang Wei had spent a lot of money today to ask Tang Yuehua to let him perform in front of the Princess, hoping to gain her favor. He didn't expect to be sabotaged by a new student now. How could he tolerate this?
"Student, you said my playing was unpleasant. Why don't you come up and perform?"
Wang Wei, being a noble child, didn't want to lose his temper in Moon Pavilion, so he wanted the other party to demonstrate.
"Wang Wei, stop it."
At this moment, Tang Yuehua stopped Wang Wei, then walked towards Ye Liangchen.
"Student Li Qingfeng, you and students Li Bingling and Li Qingling have paid, so I must be responsible for you. You must finish my class before you can leave. Be obedient."
Tang Yuehua directly pulled Ye Liangchen, Shui Bing'er, and Zhu Zhuqing back to their seats, thinking: "These three Xiao Jiahuo want to drop out on their first day of my class. Am I, Tang Yuehua, to lose face?"
Qian Renxue in the distance carefully looked at Ye Liangchen's figure, always feeling that this guy was a bit like Lan Chen from before, and immediately felt that there was something strange about him.
"Pavilion Master, we're not studying anymore. This should be fine, right?"
Ye Liangchen saw that sticky plaster Qian Renxue was still staring at him. He spread his hands, directly indicating that he wanted to drop out and then slip away.
"Oh! Student Li Qingfeng, you want to drop out? This reason is not valid."
Among the noble children Tang Yuehua taught, she had never seen anyone drop out after only half a class. How could she set such a precedent!
"Pavilion Master, how about I perform a piece on stage? If I pass, you let us leave, how about that?"
Ye Liangchen thought: "I only came here to see you, this beauty, not to actually learn any music."
"Oh, so you also know music."
Tang Yuehua immediately became interested in the young man in front of her knowing music, then looked at Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing beside him.
"What about you two girls?"
Shui Bing'er quickly indicated: "We'll listen to him. Whatever he decides is fine."
"Alright then, Student Li Qingfeng, please come on stage to perform. Everyone, give him some encouragement."
"Clap, clap, clap, clap…"
Tang Yuehua had spoken, and everyone applauded. They also wanted to see what talent this guy had.
"Pavilion Master, do you have a flute? Please bring me one."
"Yes! My Moon Pavilion is a music academy; we have all kinds of instruments."
Upon hearing that Xiao Jiahuo wanted to play the flute, Tang Yuehua immediately instructed a female teacher to retrieve a long flute from the instrument room and hand it to Ye Liangchen.
