Chapter 300: Persuading Xue Ke: Tang Yuehua

Hearing her teacher's suggestion, Xue Ke felt a tremor in her heart.

Forget Nan Feihuang?

She could not do it; she had been clear about her fate from a very early age. In this life, she had no freedom to love, and her status destined her for a political marriage. Now that she had finally encountered someone like Nan Feihuang—who was handsome, powerful, and gentle in temperament—she had fallen in love with him.

If she gave up, what would her next marriage partner be like?

In any case, among the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire, if you threw a brick, you would hit ten people: four would be pot-bellied and sleazy, four would be playboys acting like hooligans, and two would be playing around with each other in twisted ways.

Among the nobles she had met, the only one who could be mentioned in the same breath as Nan Feihuang was Xue Qinghe, but unfortunately, that was her own older brother.

At the thought of this, Xue Ke felt a wave of goosebumps.

"No, Teacher, even if I die, I will not give up on Brother Feihuang. I... I have already decided. I am going to find him. Even if I have to travel ten thousand miles to find my husband, I will bring him back." Xue Ke pursed her lips, her face showing some displeasure and grievance, but her tone was resolute.

Tang Yuehua looked at the young girl before her in surprise; it was the first time she had seen stubbornness, or even a hint of willfulness, on the face of this gentle girl.

It seemed she had truly planted the roots of love deep for Nan Feihuang.

But she and Nan Feihuang would never have a good ending. No matter how gifted Nan Feihuang was, he only had a single martial soul. Once Tang San, a genius with Twin Spirits, grew up, his Clear Sky Hammer with all high-level Spirit Rings and the Clear Sky Sect Unique Skill would surely crush him in the future.

According to her second brother, Nan Feihuang had already absorbed the soul bone of Tang San's mother.

How could Tang San easily let him go? In Tang Yuehua's heart, even if Nan Feihuang had not yet died at the hands of Tang Hao, he was destined to die at the hands of Tang San in the future.

Just as she was about to continue persuading her, a maid came to report, "Greetings, Mistress of the Pavilion. Outside, Mr. Sima, the head steward of Prince Xue Beng, requests an audience with you."

Tang Yuehua felt a wave of confusion. "Mr. Sima? I have no dealings with Prince Xue Beng. What does it mean for him to send his steward to find me? Could it be for his uncle?"

If she had to name the only point of intersection between herself and Xue Beng, the only one she could think of was Xue Xing Prince.

Because this Xue Xing Prince had been pursuing her for several years, always hoping to win her favor, and had even promised that if she were willing, he would definitely marry her with the rites of a legitimate wife.

Unfortunately, she had long held a mighty man in her heart. Even if it were absolutely impossible for her to be with him, she still did not look favorably upon someone like Xue Xing Prince.

Xue Xing Prince had pursued her for a long time without success, and since he knew a little about her status, he did not dare to use force.

Could it be that he now wanted to have his nephew help him play matchmaker? Tang Yuehua could only say he was dreaming.

"Very well, after all, he is a prince of the nation; it is not good to offend him too much. I shall see him. If he has come for Xue Xing Prince, I will simply refuse him tactfully; it is not the first time, anyway." Tang Yuehua quickly made a decision in her heart and said to the maid, "Go and bring Mr. Sima to the reception room. Do not be negligent."

"Yes!" The maid received the order and immediately went down.

Tang Yuehua turned to look at Xue Ke. "Ke'er, Teacher has a guest to receive today, so you should go back first. Go back and think it over carefully. If you are worried that you will have no good destination after losing Nan Feihuang, Teacher can introduce one to you."

Tang Yuehua knew that both her eldest brother, Tang Xiao, and her second brother, Tang Hao, hoped that one day the Clear Sky Sect could emerge from seclusion and once again become the Clear Sky Sect that looked down upon the world.

Before they sealed the mountain, although the Clear Sky Sect had vaguely begun to support the Star Luo Empire, today was different from the past. Tang San had used one hammer to finish off Zhu Zhuyun of the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire—that was the future Empress of Star Luo who had been almost internally decided.

This hatred could not be described as anything but heavy.

Even if the Heaven Dou Empire had already raided Shrek Academy to appease the anger of Star Luo, and even arrested the dean and vice-dean to hand them over to Star Luo for public execution, the hatred was difficult to quell.

Tang Yuehua knew that as long as Tang San was alive, Star Luo would not let the matter rest.

In this way, even if the Clear Sky Sect emerged from seclusion, the only side they could support was the Heaven Dou Empire; they certainly could not go and support the Spirit Hall.

Since there was no other choice, establishing a deeper connection with Heaven Dou would naturally not be wrong.

If given the chance, Tang Yuehua would definitely introduce an outstanding disciple of the Clear Sky Sect to Xue Ke. Tang San would naturally be the most suitable, but it seemed Tang San already had a sweetheart. However, that did not matter; the Clear Sky Sect was not without other outstanding disciples.

Even if they could not compare to Nan Feihuang and Tang San, they were still far more outstanding than those nobles who occupied positions but did nothing.

"Ke'er thanks Teacher, but Ke'er does not need it. Ke'er takes her leave." Xue Ke bowed and left without looking back.

She was very unhappy today. She missed her fiancé so much, yet the teacher who used to dote on her not only did not comfort her but kept urging her to give up on the person she loved in her heart, and even wanted to introduce others to her.

What was the meaning of this?

"Sigh!" Tang Yuehua sighed helplessly. Xue Ke clearly had not taken her advice to heart. Once a girl fell in love with someone, she was naturally very stubborn. It would have to be done slowly.

She had other things to do now.

Arriving at the reception room, Sima Yi was eating dessert and drinking tea while waiting.

The soldiers summoned by Xun Yu had this good point: as long as they were not beaten to death, they could maintain their physical strength by eating, drinking, and sleeping like normal people, and would not easily dissipate.

This was also the greatest convenience that allowed Xun Yu to send them to infiltrate the Prince's mansion or the imperial court as undercover agents.

"Mr. Sima, I apologize for keeping you waiting." Tang Yuehua apologized softly, her voice so gentle it made one feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Her gentle and graceful temperament could be said to be second to none on the Douluo Continent. Purely in terms of temperament, among women, only Bibi Dong could compare.

Sima Yi stood up and returned the greeting. "Not at all, Mistress of the Pavilion is too polite."

"Mr. Sima, please sit. I wonder what important matter brings you to see me so suddenly?" Tang Yuehua sat down opposite Sima Yi and asked.

"I have not only come to see you, but I also hope you can call out the Grandmaster. I have come to see him as well," Sima Yi said.

Tang Yuehua's expression changed upon hearing this. This person actually knew the Grandmaster was with her.

Ever since Shrek Academy was raided, all the students and teachers in the academy had been dispersed. The Grandmaster was originally going to be held accountable, but because of the intervention of Yu Yuanzhen, his life was spared.

Having lost Shrek, and unwilling to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, the Grandmaster originally had nowhere to go. It just so happened that at that time, Tang Hao had come to Tiandou City to obtain more information about soul bones. Seeing his son's teacher in such a down-and-out state, he brought him to his sister's Yuexuan.

Not many people knew about this, and theoretically, it did not include Xue Beng. She was very curious about where the other party had learned this news.

However, she certainly could not admit it immediately just because the other party said so; what if the other party was bluffing her?

"Sir is joking. The Grandmaster has been missing for a long time; how could he be here with me?"
