Tang San's expression became extremely strange. He vaguely remembered that in the forest outside Slaughter City, Hu Liena had also jokingly said that he could try to grow flowers and learn music to control the God of Slaughter Domain. He didn't expect that his Teacher would give the same suggestion. Should he try this seemingly absurd method?
After thinking about it, Tang San decided to give it a try, since he didn't have a better way at the moment.
"Then I'll start by learning how to plant flowers with Teacher Er Long?"
"Yes, let's do that for now. Learning to control your emotions in any situation is fundamental. I'll think of other ways. Before that, you can learn something to calm your mind with Er Long."
"I understand, Teacher."
In the following days, Tang San lived a pastoral life, learning to plant flowers and grass with Liu Erlong every day, and learning some music along the way.
It must be said that the few people were considered to have stumbled upon the right path. After a few days, Tang San did feel that his control over his emotions had matured a lot. He could also maintain his sanity within dozens of seconds of activating the God of Slaughter Domain. This was not enough, but Tang San was not in a hurry. Now that he had found the right method, the next step was the accumulation of time.
At Yu Xiaogang's suggestion, Tang San would also occasionally go to the flower and bird market in Heaven Dou City to see if there were any new flower species, and he would also buy beautiful birds to keep.
On this day, after Tang San finished his morning vocal exercises, he came to the flower and bird market again, and went straight to the store he often visited.
"Miss, look at this Red-Cheeked Blue-Ornamented Finch, it's so cute, let's buy it back."
"You girl, we came to this market because we heard that Bird of Paradise seeds arrived today, how can you be hooked away by a bird?"
"Oh, Miss, this bird won't delay us from buying flower seeds. Just take it, look, this Red-Cheeked Blue-Ornamented Finch keeps staring at me, it must want to go back with me too."
Tang San was attracted by the conversation between the two. Looking around, he saw a woman in a silver palace dress, with an elegant aristocratic demeanor in every gesture, looking helplessly at the delicate maid beside her.
The other party's obvious aristocratic status made him frown secretly. Because of his unpleasant experience at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had no good feelings for the aristocracy. Although he didn't know why he had a good impression of the palace-dressed woman with blue hair in front of him, he was not prepared to go forward to talk to her. The other party's appearance must not lack suitors, and it would be bad if he was regarded as one of those people if he went forward to talk to her.
Withdrawing his gaze, Tang San continued to rush to the flower seed shop he often patronized.
"Boss, do you have any fresh flower seeds today?"
"Young Master, you're here again. Isn't this just the right time? Today, the shop just received a batch of Bird of Paradise flower seeds. The Bird of Paradise blooms like colorful little birds, and is deeply loved by the Heaven Dou nobles. Do you want to buy them?"
Although he disdained associating with the Heaven Dou nobles, Tang San's purpose was just to buy some flower seeds to cultivate his sentiments so that he could control his emotions. Since there were novel flower seeds, there was no reason to refuse.
"Okay, give me the flower seeds."
Taking out a few Gold Soul Coins and handing them to the boss, Tang San began to look at the flowers and plants in the store. This was also what he would observe every time he came, and sometimes he would also ask the boss for some tips on planting flowers and plants.
"Okay, Young Master, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away."
After a while, the boss slowly came to Tang San with a bag of seeds. Just as he reached out to take it, a pair of master and servant came in outside the door. The leader was the pair of palace-dressed women he had just met on the road.
At this time, the maid beside her was carrying a birdcage, and a blue bird was flapping its wings inside. Obviously, this little maid's wish had come true.
"Boss, I heard that a batch of Bird of Paradise seeds arrived today, let's have some."
The boss looked embarrassed and pointed to Tang San beside him and said:
"Yo, two young ladies, I'm really sorry, the last few seeds have been bought by this young master."
"You should also know that Bird of Paradise is very popular, right."
The little maid heard the words and instantly slumped her head, glanced timidly at the blue-haired palace-dressed woman beside her, and even the excitement of buying her favorite bird disappeared.
"I'm sorry, Miss."
"Okay, just come and buy it next time, but don't drag me to buy birds again."
Not having been reprimanded, the little maid stuck out her fragrant tongue, then turned her head to glare at Tang San, as if to say it was all his fault that they didn't buy the flower seeds, which made Tang San feel very helpless. Was he getting shot while lying down?
Seeing this, the woman in palace attire glared fiercely at the maid, making her lower her head again. Then, the woman looked at Tang San with a hint of apology in her eyes.
"This young master, I am truly sorry. My Ping Er is not very polite. I will teach her a lesson when we get back. Please forgive her."
Regardless of whether the woman would really teach the little maid a lesson when they returned, these words made Tang San feel very comfortable. This also reflected the woman's extraordinary talent, as if every move she made could make people feel good.
"No need to mind it. If you don't mind, you can have some of these Bird of Paradise flower seeds."
After saying that, Tang San opened the flower seed bag in his hand, grabbed a handful of Bird of Paradise seeds, and stepped forward to hand them to the little maid.
The little maid's eyes lit up, and she quickly reached out to take them, her gaze towards Tang San changing to gratitude.
"Thank you, young master. Please forgive Ping Er's rudeness just now."
"This"
The woman in palace attire, who originally wanted to decline, saw that the little maid had already accepted them for her, and helplessly rubbed her forehead, then bowed slightly to Tang San again.
"Then thank you, young master, for your generosity. I am Tang Yuehua, the Mistress of Moon Pavilion. If you are interested in etiquette and music, you can come to Moon Pavilion to find me."
"That's quite a coincidence, we share the same family name. My name is also Tang."
"Oh? That is indeed a coincidence."
Tang Yuehua was slightly stunned, she really didn't expect such a coincidence, but the corners of her mouth subconsciously carried a polite and distant smile. Obviously, she had experienced many strange pickup techniques. Tang San didn't see anything wrong and continued to ask:
"I wonder what Moon Pavilion is? I just arrived in Heaven Dou City and am not familiar with many things."
"Moon Pavilion is a place that specializes in teaching noble etiquette and music knowledge."
Before Tang Yuehua could speak, the little maid next to her explained in advance, obviously feeling some goodwill towards Tang San, who had relieved her embarrassment.
"I see"
Tang San was now somewhat interested in music knowledge, because music was obviously more beneficial for cultivating the mind than planting flowers and plants, and it could also make it easier for him to control his negative emotions. Although Liu Erlong also knew some superficial music theory, most of it was deep boudoir resentment music, and it was really inappropriate for a big man like him to sing those.
Seeing that Tang San didn't seem like those annoying flies trying to flirt and seemed to be interested in music theory, Tang Yuehua opened her red lips slightly and said;
"Young master, you can go to Moon Pavilion when you have time, maybe it will suit you."
"Well, thank you Tang Mistress for the invitation. Tang San will visit and ask for advice when he has time."
After saying that, Tang San didn't stay any longer. He wanted to go back and ask Grandmaster and the others about Moon Pavilion before making a decision.
