Chapter 172: Heading to Moon Pavilion
Lin Yuan asked in confusion, but he had already guessed the real reason in his heart.
That was because the martial soul Qian Renxue currently displayed to the outside world was disguised as the swan martial soul inherited from the Heaven Dou imperial family.
If the two of them were to truly hold nothing back and successfully complete the martial soul fusion, then under that intense resonance, it would inevitably expose her Six-Winged Angel martial soul!
And that would instantly reveal that she was not the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou imperial family at all, completely exposing her true identity.
Qian Renxue naturally would not take such a risk.
Faced with Lin Yuan's question, Qian Renxue could only let her gaze flicker slightly and forcibly make up an excuse. "This is normal. Martial Soul Fusion Skills aren't something that can be used so easily."
"Although we have compatibility and our soul power does not reject each other, the communication between the origins of our martial souls also requires continuous practice and coordination between the two of us."
"Only when we achieve absolute mutual understanding can it possibly be released. Let's stop here for today."
Inside a side hall of the Crown Prince's residence, maids entered in a steady stream, serving plates of exquisite royal dishes.
After the earlier heart-pounding yet ultimately unsuccessful attempt at martial soul fusion, the atmosphere between the two of them eased somewhat.
Soon after, while enjoying this lavish lunch,
Lin Yuan put down the jade chopsticks in his hand, rubbed his brow as if troubled, and deliberately brought up a "vexing issue" to Qian Renxue.
"Brother Qinghe, recently, when I cultivate, I always feel restless and unsettled."
Lin Yuan sighed and said seriously, "Perhaps it's because my God-Killing Spear martial soul has an extremely extreme killing attribute."
"As my soul power increases, the killing intent within me has grown heavier and heavier, sometimes even affecting my mind."
At this point, Lin Yuan raised his head and looked sincerely at Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.
"Is there any quiet and elegant place near Heaven Dou City that could help regulate this kind of violent killing intent?"
Lin Yuan deliberately brought this up during lunch, not without reason.
He had his own calculations. His main goal was to use this excuse to guide Qian Renxue into recommending that he visit Moon Pavilion.
This trip to Moon Pavilion had two extremely important purposes for Lin Yuan.
The first purpose was naturally to personally meet Tang Yuehua and see whether she also possessed a diary copy.
But the second purpose was the most important!
Zhao Yun had severely injured Tang Hao, severing one of his arms.
Lin Yuan wanted to know whether the heavily injured Tang Hao would go to Moon Pavilion to seek refuge with Tang Yuehua.
Lin Yuan intended to take this opportunity to probe the situation at Moon Pavilion.
After hearing Lin Yuan's concerns, Qian Renxue did not suspect anything.
After all, martial souls with extreme killing attributes were indeed highly prone to backlash, potentially leading to deviation and madness.
Qian Renxue put down her chopsticks and pondered for a moment. A perfect destination immediately surfaced in her mind.
"If you want to regulate killing intent and cultivate your temperament, then you've really asked the right person."
Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Within Heaven Dou City, the most suitable place would be Moon Pavilion."
"After this lunch, I happen to be free and can personally take you there."
Qian Renxue then began introducing Moon Pavilion to Lin Yuan.
"The master of Moon Pavilion is named Tang Yuehua, one of the most outstanding court etiquette masters in Heaven Dou City."
"Although her soul power is limited due to a mutated martial soul and will only ever reach rank nine, making her far from a strong individual,"
"She possesses an extremely rare innate domain, the Noble Circle!"
Qian Renxue said, "This domain has no offensive power, but it can perfectly purify the mind and suppress and regulate the violent killing intent within the body."
"If you study music and etiquette there for a period of time, it will definitely be greatly beneficial to your cultivation."
These words were exactly what Lin Yuan wanted to hear.
He immediately put on an overjoyed expression and repeatedly thanked His Highness the Crown Prince.
After lunch, the two rode in the Crown Prince's exclusive carriage and steadily arrived at the most prosperous central district of Heaven Dou City.
In front of a grand pavilion filled with classical elegance and a refined atmosphere, the carriage slowly came to a stop.
This was the Moon Pavilion.
With Qian Renxue personally leading the way, no one at Moon Pavilion dared to block them and respectfully ushered the two inside.
In a quiet inner hall, Lin Yuan finally met the legendary master of Moon Pavilion.
At the moment he saw Tang Yuehua, a trace of amazement flashed through Lin Yuan's eyes.
He had to admit that Tang Yuehua's temperament was truly extraordinary.
She wore a silver palace dress that perfectly outlined her full and graceful figure.
Her neatly coiled hair and gentle brows exuded a naturally mature and alluring charm.
Although Lin Yuan knew that this noble pavilion master had never married, this aura seemed completely innate.
Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred.
Without hesitation, he directly used the system's only binding slot for this month and attempted to bind it to Tang Yuehua.
[Ding! Target detected: Tang Yuehua. Meets binding conditions.]
[Ding! Binding was successful!]
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Lin Yuan was also quite surprised.
This result was beyond his expectations.
In Lin Yuan's subconscious, the system's binding targets were usually women with extremely high talent or great future achievements.
For someone like Tang Yuehua, whose soul power was extremely low and who resembled a purely "ornamental" role,
Even if she was exceptionally beautiful and had an outstanding temperament, the system should not have chosen to bind her.
But the result truly exceeded his expectations; it succeeded!
Immediately after, along with the binding success notification, the system reward was also issued.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the bound target's innate ability: Noble Circle Domain!]
In the next second, Lin Yuan felt an extremely cool and gentle energy suddenly appear within his mind and throughout his entire body.
This Noble Circle Domain obtained from Tang Yuehua perfectly merged into Lin Yuan's body.
Lin Yuan could clearly feel that the violent killing intent accumulated within him over time due to the God-Killing Spear was actually being soothed, regulated, and suppressed to a certain extent under the gentle influence of this domain.
It made his entire mind become exceptionally clear.
Lin Yuan was overjoyed.
He had originally only come to investigate under a pretext, yet he unexpectedly gained such an additional reward!
From now on, when using the God-Killing Spear in battle, he would no longer need to worry about the killing intent backfiring on his mind.
And just as Lin Yuan was secretly delighted, the atmosphere in the hall underwent an extremely subtle change the moment Qian Renxue and Tang Yuehua officially met.
