Chapter 72: Tang Yuehua's Temptation
Tang Yuehua looked at Pei Qing, a smile playing on her lips, while she pondered inwardly.
She had heard of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation; each of them possessed the aptitude of a Titled Douluo.
They were geniuses among geniuses, and even the proud Clear Sky Sect had to admit the talent of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
And this Pei Qing, standing before her, had easily defeated that Golden Generation three years ago.
It was rumored that Pei Qing was already a Soul Ancestor three years ago; now, after three years, she wondered what Realm his cultivation had reached.
If she could recruit such a genius and have him join the Clear Sky Sect… the sect would certainly not refuse…
If Pei Qing could join the Clear Sky Sect, she could ask her elder brother to find a young woman from the sect to marry him.
Joining the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect on the continent, she believed Pei Qing would not refuse.
But there was no rush; she needed to observe Pei Qing. An ordinary genius was not qualified to join the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Yuehua knew Pei Qing had excellent talent, but what did good talent matter?
After years of recuperation, the Clear Sky Sect now had seven Titled Douluo.
Adding her second brother, that made eight Titled Douluo—enough to rule over the entire Douluo Continent.
What if Pei Qing's talent was strong? At most, he would become a Titled Douluo in the future.
While he was worth recruiting, it wasn't to the point where she needed to be impatient.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, let's go inside and talk!"
Tang Yuehua withdrew her gaze from Pei Qing, looked at Qian Renxue, smiled again, and then spoke.
"Teacher Yuehua, please go first!"
Qian Renxue chuckled softly, nodded, and looked at Tang Yuehua as she spoke.
The group of four entered the Moon Pavilion.
Pei Qing glanced at the manager standing at the door; he was a Soul King in cultivation, looked to be in his thirties, and his talent was quite good.
Tang Yuehua had managed in Heaven Dou City for so long; it was only natural for her to have some influence.
Observing the Moon Pavilion along the way, Pei Qing found that there were no fewer than ten Soul Masters here.
Moreover, none of them had a cultivation lower than Soul Elder, which indeed counted as a considerable force.
On the Douluo Continent, the profession of Soul Master was not very numerous, and most people's talent was not particularly good.
Being able to reach Soul Elder could already be considered having a small amount of talent.
However, it didn't draw much attention from Pei Qing; instead, it made his evaluation of the Clear Sky Sect drop even further in his heart.
The Clear Sky Sect was known as the number one sect in the Soul Master world, yet such a sect needed a woman to support it!
For a sect disciple to become stronger, it wasn't simply a matter of arduous cultivation.
Medicinal baths and vast resources were things the Clear Sky Sect could not afford.
Thinking of the so-called Valiant Battle Martial Soul Hammer—the mighty Clear Sky Sect—being like this, he truly wondered what kind of mood Tang Chen, who achieved the peak realm through his efforts, would be in if he knew about the conduct of his descendants.
Regarding the Clear Sky Sect, Pei Qing only considered Tang Chen to be a senior worth respecting.
Even Tang Hao, who was boastfully glorified in the original work, was completely disregarded.
A waste who, after his wife was killed, dared not retaliate and just drank in a muddle.
A dignified Titled Douluo only dared to harbor thoughts of revenge after seeing his son's twin martial souls.
Pitiable and lamentable, but in the end, Pei Qing looked down on such people.
Upon arriving at the Moon Pavilion, Tang Yuehua handled the procedures for Xue Ke, then she showed a faint smile, looked past Qian Renxue, and directed her gaze toward Pei Qing behind her.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, this person behind you must be the legendary Pei Qing, right?"
"Meeting him today, he is indeed extraordinary. So young, yet so composed, and his soul power is so profound."
Although Tang Yuehua's cultivation was only level nine, as the young miss of the Clear Sky Sect, she had met countless strong individuals.
While she couldn't fully discern Pei Qing's cultivation, she could feel that Pei Qing's soul power level was not low.
As for why she said Pei Qing was composed, it was because she had been quietly observing Pei Qing all along.
Even just now, when she invited everyone into the Moon Pavilion, she had deliberately brushed her hand against Pei Qing's.
It wasn't narcissism on Tang Yuehua's part, but her charm was well-known throughout Heaven Dou City.
One could say that a young man, facing her allure, would have long since blushed.
Yet, this Pei Qing merely silently distanced himself from her, and his gaze toward her even held a hint of wariness.
This piqued Tang Yuehua's interest, and an impulse to tease a young man instantly filled her heart.
Approaching forty, she had never had a man, so she was naturally interested in a handsome and extraordinarily talented young man like Pei Qing.
However, even if she was interested, Pei Qing had no interest in her at all.
He already had enough women around him; why would he be interested in an old woman?
Tang Yuehua's cultivation was only level nine, meaning she fundamentally couldn't achieve eternal youth. No matter how well she maintained herself, after so many years of toil, she still developed wrinkles.
The fact that they weren't visible now was entirely because her makeup was applied quite well.
Which of the girls around him are inferior to Tang Yuehua? Just an old woman, yet she still wanted to take advantage of him—truly shameless.
Tang Yuehua naturally didn't know Pei Qing's thoughts. She was now contemplating the idea of having Pei Qing stay at the Moon Pavilion to study as well.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master Tang!"
Pei Qing cupped his hands toward Tang Yuehua, speaking in a neutral tone.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, etiquette can calm the mind and also benefit cultivation. If Pei Qing is willing, why not let him stay and learn together?"
Tang Yuehua stared at Pei Qing with great interest, her eyes burning, truly intrigued by him.
Given his talent, he should be considered the best in the last fifty years, aside from her second brother.
Moreover, his personality was so composed; he was indeed a truly promising talent.
Qian Renxue's face instantly darkened upon hearing Tang Yuehua's words, but she quickly returned to normal, and her gaze toward Tang Yuehua immediately became a little unfriendly.
The reason she didn't care about the girls at Heaven Dou Royal Academy was because their cultivation and talent were good.
But this Tang Yuehua wanted an old cow to eat tender grass—the 'cow' being herself, the person involved.
This was already courting death!
She, Qian Renxue, granddaughter of Spirit Hall's High Priest and daughter of two Supreme Pontiffs.
Her talent was outstanding, and she feared no one, but she still found Tang Yuehua's direct slight unbearable.
"Teacher Yuehua, why don't you directly ask for Pei Qing's opinion?"
"This child is very opinionated. If he is willing to stay, I don't mind."
Qian Renxue looked at Pei Qing with a 'kind' gaze, speaking with a forced smile.
"Then, Pei Qing, are you willing to stay and receive my guidance?" Tang Yuehua curved her lips, deliberately moving closer to Pei Qing.
A scent of a mature woman wafted over, instantly making Pei Qing feel dizzy. He quickly retreated, his face slightly pale.
"Pavilion Master Tang, I'm not willing!"
"Please don't come so close to me. I'm scared!"
