Chapter 75

Compensate an egg? I broke it with my own ability—why should I have to pay?

Bai Ran said he didn't actively destroy the various facilities inside the Moon Pavilion; it was simply that woman actively pressing her face onto his fist, thereby accidentally smashing the Moon Pavilion's wall.

Besides, don't treat Bai Ran as some clueless country bumpkin; in fact, that so-called Moon Pavilion noble academy is an entity that can enjoy full subsidies from the Tian Dou royal family.

All expenses incurred inside the Moon Pavilion can be reimbursed to the imperial treasury.

"Moon Pavilion Lady, you're saying I have to compensate?"

Bai Ran looked toward the eldest daughter of the Clear Sky Sect.

In a certain sense, the eldest daughter of the Clear Sky Sect deserves sympathy.

First, within the Clear Sky Sect—a great sect that values talent and strength above all—she awakened a mutant ring-shaped martial soul, yet her soul power could never break past rank ten for her whole life; second, she fell in love with someone she should never have loved in this lifetime; third, she sought to benefit the commoners, only to discover that everything she did merely served the noble lords.

(Bai Ran: Sympathize with you? Later, when half your cultivation is taken away, you'll behave.)

Having previously sympathized with Zhu Zhuqing, only to almost be killed by that stupid woman, Bai Ran no longer believes in pitiful women.

As the saying goes, "He who is pitiful must have something hateful about him"; to end up in such a situation, surely you were at fault.) "No need for you to compensate; someone will come to fix it later."

However, kid, are you really not considering studying at the Moon Pavilion?

Bai Ran:??? Bai Ran rubbed his ears, doubting whether he had misheard.

With his attitude like this, the Moon Pavilion Lady actually still wants to let him attend such a noble academy as the Moon Pavilion.

What is clamped between this woman's ears? Some kind of lucky omen 666? Tang Yuehua isn't stupid; on the contrary, she has her own plans.

Know this: Bai Ran's father, namely the former imperial hero Bai Tianming, firmly stood on the commoners' side, and even until death, he never accepted any noble status granted by the imperial elite.

With such a father, what is Bai Ran? The answer is obvious.

All things considered, recruiting Bai Ran, a boy who appears to have noble status, into the Moon Pavilion might have an effect even better than letting dozens of commoner children enroll in the Moon Pavilion.

Moreover, a boy genius like him, if he enters the Moon Pavilion,

Tang Yuehua is confident that, with her silver tongue, she can bind this genius soul master to the Clear Sky Sect successfully.

Even if the Clear Sky Sect places great emphasis on the inheritance of the Sky Hammer martial soul, a strong one who might someday become an Ultimate Douluo? Even a few Clear Sky Sect elders, no matter how conservative, would support winning him over, after all, the soul master world isn't just about fighting; there's also human relations and worldly wisdom.

"Impossible, I, Bai Ran, could never possibly study this broken noble etiquette class in this lifetime!"

Ning Rongrong: Full of spirit, no wonder it's you, Bai Ran.

Now, Tang Yuehua felt her dignity slipping.

"Broken noble etiquette class?"

Such refined noble etiquette, yet it's actually given a "broken" character,

Do you even know what you're saying? Childish blabber isn't an excuse you can get away with.

Uh, that's just the current situation; Tang Yuehua really can't have someone take him down.

Thus, after reluctantly letting the boy go, Tang Yuehua turned and ran to the Tian Dou Royal Academy to file a complaint against Bai Ran's current nominal guardian—Feng Tianyu (Feng Education Commissioner).

At the same time, she wrote a letter to her older brother, Tang Xiao, the current Sect Leader of the Clear Sky Sect, to file a complaint, hoping the older brother would properly discipline that so-called rude little brat.

……

The Tian Dou Royal Academy heard that Tang Yuehua, the Master of the Moon Pavilion, had come seeking them.

Feng Tianyu first froze, then instinctively pulled out a mirror and hurriedly tidied his attire.

Please, that person is the Master of the Moon Pavilion.

Setting aside her identity as the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect, she is just over thirty-two, yet she exists in the hearts of countless noble lords like a goddess.

Of course, this is also thanks to her status.

If Tang Yuehua lacked the Clear Sky Sect's background, with her looks and temperament, she would surely have been kept as a caged songbird by some noble lord long ago.

Although he was hurt by love in his early years, Feng Tianyu inexplicably feels an aversion toward beautiful women.

But she is Tang Yuehua.

A noble lady possessing grace, beauty, and status. It's heard that even the Snow Night Emperor, in his early years, once pursued this Moon Pavilion lady.

Fortunately, Feng Tianyu still knows his own limits.

Tang Yuehua's standards are extremely high; it's said that to become her husband, one must become the youngest Title Douluo in Douluo history. (Bai Ran:??? Don't mess with the new title)

However, Feng Tianyu still tries to make him appear clean and tidy, in order to leave a good impression on the Moon Pavilion lady.

In the Education Commissioner's office, Feng Tianyu received the Master of the Moon Pavilion.

"I don't know what the Moon Pavilion lady wants from me."

Feng Tianyu recalls that he seems to have never had any contact with that little princess of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Is it that I've heard Bai Ran is your nephew?"

These years that the Clear Sky Sect has sealed its gates, the only way to know what's happening in the world is through Tang Yuehua's gathered intelligence; thus, regarding some specific details about Bai Ran, she wants to investigate, and she can still find them out.

"Yeah, that's right, Bai Ran is my nephew."

"Wait, what are you planning to do!"

"An old ox eating tender grass? You're giving yourself face, huh?"

It's not that Feng Tianyu is overthinking; given his nephew's current situation, he absolutely can become the youngest Title Douluo in the soul master world—it's practically a sure thing.

By the way, this Moon Pavilion lady probably didn't come just because of the promise she made back then, right?

If so, Feng Tianyu feels it necessary to keep a close watch on his grand-nephew.

"It's like this: I want your nephew to study at the Moon Pavilion, but he disagrees, so I came to find you, his guardian."

Tang Yuehua explained her purpose.

"Oh, I see, good thing it's not……"

"Good thing it's not what?"

Seeing the Education Commissioner Feng's tense expression, Tang Yuehua wore a puzzled look.

"Nothing much, but since my nephew disagrees, I also disagree."

"Looking for me is useless."

Feng Tianyu spread his hands, indicating he had no way.

"You're his guardian; as long as you agree, how could he possibly disagree?"

Tang Yuehua was obviously getting anxious, because she felt this was not what she had originally expected.

As Bai Ran's uncle, Education Commissioner Feng should strongly support his nephew entering Moon Pavilion to gain a better growth environment, right? "Madam Moon Pavilion, then I ask you, why do you want commoners to take the so-called nobility etiquette class?"

"Let commoners progress to become nobility, thereby gaining a better life."

"So you want my nephew to become the so-called nobility?"

In Feng Tianyu's view, gaining a title through military merit is honor, but if one relies on becoming classmates with so-called nobility offspring to gain their support and become nobility, then that so-called nobility title is utterly worthless—even dogs would shake their heads at it.

"I just want your nephew to become a more excellent nobility."

Tang Yuehua said solemnly.

"Get lost, you're not welcome here."

Feng Tianyu's face instantly darkened.

"Do you know what you're saying, Education Commissioner Feng? Believe it or not, I'll complain to the academy's higher-ups about you."

"Go ahead, I am now the academy's higher-ups, feel free to complain,"

"You still want to give my nephew a useless nobility etiquette class? I think you're just bored."

Tang Yuehua: These military officers, how come they're all so rough? I don't understand.
