...
Speaking of this, Tang Yuehua's tone became somewhat heavy: "But now, the situation is different."
"My second brother Tang Hao is wanted by the entire Douluo Continent, our father was angered to death, and my eldest brother was forced to announce that the Clear Sky Sect was closing its mountain gates, making the entire Sect live in seclusion."
"Although this news has not yet been completely made public, the immensely resourceful great nobles and major factions in Heaven Dou City have long received wind of it."
"The Clear Sky Sect has fallen, or rather, the Clear Sky Sect has backed down. Meanwhile, the majesty of Spirit Hall is as blazing as the midday sun."
Tang Yuehua took a deep breath, her hands tightly clasped together:
"Those people who once tried to curry favor with me are now like sharks that have smelled blood."
"They know that I am left alone in Heaven Dou City, having lost the protection of the Sect."
"Some factions can no longer sit still; they want to bring down Moon Pavilion, and even want to capture me."
"To use this to claim credit and seek rewards from Spirit Hall, and to cling to the relations of Spirit Hall."
"Although I am the Pavilion Master of Moon Pavilion, I only have level nine Soul Power."
"Facing those factions, I... I really have a headache, and can even be said to be at my wit's end."
After listening to Tang Yuehua's narration, Luo Nan's face did not reveal any look of surprise.
All of this was completely within his expectations.
The Douluo Continent was inherently a World of the survival of the fittest and supreme interests.
Whatever aristocratic demeanor, whatever etiquette and morals, in the face of absolute power and interests, they were not even worth a fart.
When the Clear Sky Sect was strong, Tang Yuehua was a high-and-mighty goddess.
Once the Clear Sky Sect showed signs of decline, she became a piece of fatty meat in everyone's eyes.
"A very normal reaction."
"When a wall collapses everyone pushes it, when a drum is broken everyone beats it."
"Those people want to use you as a pledge of loyalty to please Spirit Hall, this business is a guaranteed profit without loss."
"Then what do you plan to do?" Tang Yuehua couldn't help asking.
Since eldest brother Tang Xiao had entrusted her to Luo Nan, her only hope now was this unfathomable Spirit Saint before her.
Luo Nan stood up and stretched.
"What else can I do?"
Luo Nan sneered, a sharp flash of cold light flitting across his eyes.
"Since I accepted your eldest brother's benefits and agreed to this transaction, taking people's money and averting disasters for them is my rule."
"In a moment, I'll go with you to Moon Pavilion."
He walked to Tang Yuehua's side: "Since someone wants to test the waters, I'll go make an appearance to back you up."
"I'd like to see, in this Heaven Dou City, how many scoundrels who aren't afraid of death dare to touch the woman who is nominally mine, Luo Nan."
Hearing the words "the woman who is nominally mine, Luo Nan," Tang Yuehua's heartbeat inexplicably skipped a beat.
Although she knew this was just a transaction, at this most helpless moment of hers, Luo Nan's strong protection made her panicked and uneasy heart feel a trace of stability.
"Alright, I'll go prepare the carriage right now."
Tang Yuehua nodded, preparing to get up.
"Wait."
Luo Nan suddenly called out to stop her.
Tang Yuehua raised her head in confusion: "What is it?"
Luo Nan looked her up and down, his gaze lingering on her legs for a moment, and out of nowhere he asked a question:
"How are your legs? Can you still walk? Do you want me to carry you out?"
As soon as these words came out, the air in the room seemed to instantly freeze.
Tang Yuehua was stunned for a moment.
Afterward, a visible blush rapidly spread from the base of her neck.
Instantly crawling all over her cold and aloof face, even her crystal-clear earlobes turned as red as blood.
Those crazy and shameful scenes from last night flooded into her mind like a tide.
"You... What are you spouting nonsense about!"
Tang Yuehua abruptly stood up, but because her movement was too fierce, it pulled at her sore spot, causing her to sharply inhale a breath of cold air in pain, and her body swayed slightly.
She bit her red lips tightly, glared at Luo Nan with mixed shame and anger, abruptly turned her head away, and said through gritted teeth:
"I'm fine! You don't need to care! We can set off!"
Finished speaking, she walked out of the room quickly almost as if fleeing, except that her slightly messy and stiff pace completely betrayed her embarrassment at this moment.
Watching Tang Yuehua's panicked retreating figure, Luo Nan couldn't help chuckling.
"This woman is quite interesting."
...
Half an hour later, a low-profile yet luxurious carriage slowly drove into the most bustling central area of Heaven Dou City.
This was the heart of the Heaven Dou Empire, with shops lining both sides of the streets, heavy traffic, and all those coming and going were brightly dressed nobles and formidable Spirit Masters.
And amidst this prosperity, a five-story building with an elegant shape and a magnificent Aura appeared particularly eye-catching.
That was Moon Pavilion.
The most elegant place in Heaven Dou City, a palace dedicated to teaching aristocratic etiquette, music, and art.
However, right now in front of Moon Pavilion's doors, there was completely none of the past tranquility and elegance, instead appearing foul and chaotic.
The carriage stopped dozens of meters away from Moon Pavilion. Luo Nan lifted the carriage's curtain, looking coldly towards the front.
Sure enough, just as Tang Yuehua said, someone was already making trouble.
Beneath Moon Pavilion's wide white jade steps, more than a dozen people were gathered at this moment.
These people were dressed in various ways, and a few looked like ruffians and scoundrels from the marketplace.
But Luo Nan could tell at a glance that these troublemakers were Spirit Masters.
But they were just those average-strength Spirit Masters, probably the type who did things for money.
They blocked the main entrance of Moon Pavilion, holding some broken musical instruments and inferior silks, pointing at Moon Pavilion's gate and cursing loudly.
"What fucking Moon Pavilion! It's simply a den of iniquity!"
A burly man with a flesh-covered face brandished a broken-stringed harp in his hand, shouting loudly with a hoarse voice.
"Everyone come and take a look! This is the so-called top-grade guqin Moon Pavilion sold to me; it broke after I only played it twice! This is clearly cheating money!"
"Exactly! And they claim to be the most elegant place in Heaven Dou City, bah!"
A sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked skinny guy next to him immediately echoed.
"I heard that what is taught in this Moon Pavilion is not aristocratic etiquette at all, but base methods specially taught to those seductive hussies on how to seduce men!"
"It simply ruins the morals of our Heaven Dou Empire!"
"Get your Pavilion Master Tang Yuehua to get out here! Today you must give us an explanation!"
"Right! Let Tang Yuehua come out to confront us! Don't hide inside acting like a turtle with its head retracted!"
The screaming and cursing of these dozen or so people were extremely loud, attracting passing pedestrians and nobles to stop and watch.
Soon, hundreds of people gathered in front of Moon Pavilion.
In the crowd, quite a few people pointed and whispered at Moon Pavilion.
"What's going on with this Moon Pavilion? Usually it looks quite elegant, why would it sell fake goods?"
"Who knows, you can know a person's face but not their heart."
"I heard the Pavilion Master of this Moon Pavilion is an absolute beauty; maybe it's really like what they say, doing some shady business behind the scenes."
