As soon as the three words 'Xing Daorong' were uttered.
The faces of many surrounding children of the nobility turned pale.
"I was wondering why this person looked so familiar; it turns out it's him!"
"The Young Master of the Xing Family... Moon Pavilion has really kicked a steel plate this time."
"Surely not? Moon Pavilion's status isn't low. I heard they have a Great Sect backing them. Besides, look, the Emperor is also present. Even if the Xing Family's strength is formidable, they have to consider the occasion."
"What nonsense are you talking! When has the Xing Family ever given anyone face?"
"Have you forgotten how the Clan Leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan died back then?"
...Tang Yuehua's expression also became solemn at this moment.
Although she had never met Xing Daorong.
She had long heard of this name.
The Young Master of a hidden clan.
She heard that the new type of weapon, the 'gun', which was currently popular on the Tiandou Empire's black market, was related to them.
His personal strength was powerful.
He had once single-handedly challenged all the academy battle teams in the Tiandou Empire.
Not to mention his grandfather's cultivation was that of the legendary Level 99 Peerless Douluo.
As a second-generation direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect.
The biological younger sister of the current Clear Sky Sect Sect Master, Tang Xiao, and the former Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.
She naturally knew the gap between Titled Douluo.
Furthermore, from a young age, she had heard the older generation recount just how incredibly powerful Tang Chen was.
Therefore.
Upon learning that the Xing Family had a Peerless Douluo.
She immediately sent the information back to the Clear Sky Sect.
Hoping that her Elder brother, Tang Xiao, could investigate exactly what the origin of this Xing Family was.
After Tang Xiao learned of this information.
He was directly dumbfounded.
In his understanding, there should only be three people on the entire continent whose strength reached Level 99: his grandfather, Qian Daoliu, and Posexi.
How could another one appear?
Immediately, Tang Xiao summoned the Elders and began an investigation into this Xing Family that had suddenly emerged.
But after a round of investigation.
They couldn't even find a single hair.
Tang Yuehua snapped back to her senses.
Looking at Jin Mian, she spoke: "Young Master Xing's grand arrival at Moon Pavilion is naturally warmly welcomed by us."
"But my Moon Pavilion is a place of ritual and music specifically for teaching noble court etiquette."
"No matter who it is, they must follow the rules when they come here."
"Moreover, His Majesty is here today."
"Young Master Xing not only trespassed into Moon Pavilion but also relied on his family background to kill someone. Isn't that a bit too presumptuous?"
"If word of this gets out, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the Xing Family, won't it?"
It had to be said.
Tang Yuehua's speaking ability was on par with Ning Fengzhi's.
Regardless of right or wrong.
She first brought out the Emperor to bolster her own momentum.
Then she shifted the blame to the opponent and used their family's reputation as a threat.
If this were any other child of the nobility, hearing these words, they would probably have been scared into kneeling on the ground to apologize.
Unfortunately.
Jin Mian was not one of those brainless people.
He didn't buy this at all.
This so-called graceful and elegant beautiful woman.
Was nothing more than a useless idiot with a spirit power of only level nine who had fallen in love with her own brother.
The only thing slightly useful.
Was her innate talent Domain—Noble Circle!
Otherwise, she was no different from Yu Xiaogang.
After all, these two.
One married his own cousin.
One fell in love with her biological brother.
They were simply representative tragedies of family ethics!
"A place of ritual and music?"
"Heh..."
After hearing Tang Yuehua's words.
Jin Mian smiled disdainfully.
"You sure hold your status high."
"What 'place of ritual and music'."
"Snobbish, low quality, fawning over the powerful, looking down on commoners, and treating human life like grass."
"This is your so-called place of ritual and music?"
"In my view, this is a place under the banner of a hypocritical noble ground that is actually a garbage recycling plant."
With every sentence he spoke.
Tang Yuehua's face turned three shades more livid.
Until finally, her face completely slumped.
Thinking that the elegant Moon Pavilion, which she had spent years of effort to establish.
Was actually belittled as worthless by this Xing Daorong.
She was directly on the verge of going crazy with anger.
What she expected even less.
Was that the tactics she usually used to deal with arrogant and overbearing noble children.
Didn't work on this Xing Daorong at all.
At this moment, Tang Yuehua really wanted to tear off her usual dignified and elegant facade and curse Xing Daorong.
But considering there were many people around.
More importantly.
The Emperor Xue Qinghe was still by her side.
So she could only suppress her anger.
At this time.
Qian Renxue, who had been watching the show, spoke up.
"Alright, Brother Xing, why get so angry? Tell me in detail what exactly happened here." Qian Renxue gave him a look.
Jin Mian understood instantly and then recounted the incident of the guard's obstruction, the verbal insults, and the wanton killing.
When the story was finished.
Tang Yuehua knew that her side was in the wrong.
So she struck first.
"Your Majesty, although Moon Pavilion was at fault first in this matter."
"But the rules of Moon Pavilion were preset by everyone, and even the late Emperor Xue Ye praised them."
"For the servant's misconduct, Yuehua will naturally punish them severely."
"But for Xing Daorong to kill someone, isn't that a bit too much."
"It's a complete disregard for the law, and even more so, a lack of respect for the late Emperor."
"I ask Your Majesty to severely punish this person; otherwise, how will Moon Pavilion teach court etiquette in the future?"
Tang Yuehua's words completely avoided the main issue.
She even wrapped herself up as a victim.
As if she had suffered a great grievance.
Completely ignoring the factor that Moon Pavilion's people had moved to kill first.
Jin Mian watched indifferently.
Just as he was about to continue rebuking this woman.
Qian Renxue once again spoke first.
She had a half-smile and said faintly: "Then there's no need to teach. Close the doors."
"What did Your Majesty say?" Tang Yuehua couldn't quite believe what she had just heard.
Qian Renxue turned to look at Tang Yuehua: "Didn't you hear clearly? Since Moon Pavilion can no longer teach court etiquette, then there's no need to teach anymore. Just close the doors."
"Moon Pavilion isn't the only place in the Empire that can teach court etiquette."
This was something Tang Yuehua had never expected.
After all, Moon Pavilion seemingly was a place for teaching noble court etiquette.
But in fact, it was backed by the Clear Sky Sect.
The reason Moon Pavilion had such fame in the Tiandou Empire over the years.
Was entirely because Xue Ye wanted to win over the Clear Sky Sect back then.
But he could never find an opportunity.
It just so happened that Tang Yuehua wanted to establish Moon Pavilion in the Tiandou Empire at that time.
He found out that she came from the Clear Sky Sect.
And her status within the Sect was not low.
Xue Ye immediately agreed to Tang Yuehua's establishment of Moon Pavilion.
And to further show goodwill.
He specifically put Moon Pavilion in charge of teaching court etiquette.
Since then, Moon Pavilion's reputation had soared, and its status was transcendent.
She didn't expect that Xue Qinghe would actually want to close Moon Pavilion today.
Did the other party not fear provoking the Clear Sky Sect behind her?
Tang Yuehua thought for a moment.
She spoke: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Moon Pavilion was established by the late Emperor..."
Before she could finish her sentence.
Qian Renxue said coldly: "Pavilion Master Tang, are you very dissatisfied with this Emperor? Or do you have objections to my reign since I ascended the throne?"
"Why does Your Majesty say that?" Tang Yuehua was puzzled.
Qian Renxue continued: "I hear Pavilion Master Tang mentioning the late Emperor with every other breath; it's clear you are dissatisfied with me."
Tang Yuehua was startled.
She inwardly cursed herself for how she could have made such a low-level mistake out of a moment of anger..."
