The nobles chuckled awkwardly, then glared at Tang San before quickly leaving the practice room.
The killing intent in Tang San's eyes slowly faded, and he cupped his fist towards the silver-haired woman behind him, saying:
"Thank you, Miss, for helping Tang San out of this predicament."
Xue Ke waved her hand, not really caring about Tang San's gratitude.
"No need, I just thought they were too noisy, affecting this princess's harp practice."
"Regardless, Your Highness has helped me, so gratitude is still necessary."
Xue Ke raised an eyebrow, finding this person somewhat interesting, at least better than her Big Brother, who never showed his face, and her Fourth Brother, who had disappeared without a trace.
"Judging by your attire, you don't seem to be from a noble family. How did you end up at Moon Pavilion?"
Xue Ke was curious about Tang San's background. Moon Pavilion was a place for the children of nobles and powerful officials to build connections, so why was a commoner like him here?
"I am also interested in music, so I tried coming here to learn about it."
It was impossible to tell the woman in front of him everything, so Tang San could only gloss over the reason for his visit to Moon Pavilion.
Xue Ke clearly saw that Tang San was unwilling to talk about his background, and a hint of displeasure rose in her heart. After all, she had just helped him out, yet he was so wary of this princess.
However, this displeasure was quickly overshadowed by her newfound discovery.
"The Pavilion Master's surname is Tang, and yours is also Tang. Could it be that you are a relative of the Pavilion Master?"
Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a bit of trouble, but considering that Tang Yuehua's identity had not been revealed to the outside world, and only a few high-ranking officials in Heaven Dou knew about it, he did not hide this relationship.
"That's right, Tang Pavilion Master is my Aunt."
Hearing this, Xue Ke laughed twice triumphantly, then a hint of disdain appeared in her eyes.
"Haha, it seems I guessed right. No wonder you can appear in Moon Pavilion, where nobles are rampant. So you're using connections."
"I advise you not to think about easily crossing classes. Forcibly integrating into a circle that doesn't belong to you is a foolish thing. You might as well put your effort into cultivating properly. Once you reach the Soul Elder level, you will automatically enjoy noble status in the Heaven Dou Empire."
Xue Ke thought that the other party was trying to latch onto her relative's coattails to make connections with nobles, a vulgar person trying to climb the social ladder, so her tone carried a hint of mockery.
Tang San frowned slightly, very dissatisfied with the woman's speculation, but he had no intention of staying to explain further.
"Your Highness has misunderstood. I am just here to study music. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a conflict with them just now. If Your Highness thinks I have ulterior motives, you can reduce your interactions with Tang San."
After speaking, Tang San ignored Xue Ke and went straight to his instrument to repair the broken strings.
"You"
Xue Ke was somewhat angry at Tang San's unceremonious distancing, but seeing his attitude, he didn't really seem like he was trying to climb the social ladder. Otherwise, why wouldn't he try to befriend her, the highest-ranking noble in Heaven Dou?
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that this unremarkable black-haired boy was playing hard to get.
"This princess wants to see what you're up to."
As the Little Angel of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ke had not been harmed by Qian Renxue like her brothers. Since she had no legitimate right to inherit the throne, she had retained some of her innocent nature in this dangerous Imperial Palace.
Because Xue Ke had developed some curiosity about Tang San, she would often appear by his side in the following days to chat with him. At first, Tang San was very uncomfortable with the princess's approach, but those nobles, seeing Xue Ke getting close to him, did not dare to continue causing trouble openly.
Tang San was happy to see this happen. After chatting with Xue Ke and discovering that she was a naive girl without much scheming, he no longer rejected her approach. As they interacted, they became good friends.
This made Tang Yuehua, as an elder, reveal an auntie-like smile. If her nephew could marry a princess, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
A week later, Ning Bei and Little Angel, traveling at full speed, also successfully arrived at Spirit City. There were no disturbances along the way. Qian Renxue directly led her man onto the familiar road.
After leading him to the entrance of the Angel Temple, Little Angel looked at him with a hesitant expression, which made Ning Bei feel quite strange.
"What's wrong? Do you have to put on a show of homesickness every time you come back?"
"Shut up, I'm not worried about that."
"Then what are you thinking about?"
After hesitating for a while, Qian Renxue finally said what was making her hesitate.
"Isn't that woman going to see me? Do you think I should go or not?"
Hearing this, Ning Bei suddenly understood that Little Angel was struggling with this.
"Go, don't you actually want to see her in your heart?"
"No way."
Little Angel pouted and turned her head to the side. Her proud and delicate appearance made Ning Bei feel amused.
"Yes, yes, yes, you don't, but isn't that woman strongly requesting to see you now? We're all from the Spirit Hall camp, so let's give her some face and go listen to what she has to say."
"Hmph, then this young lady will give her some face. Let's go, I'll go find her after I see Grandfather."
"Okay, let's do that then."
Ning Bei didn't plan to expose Little Angel's little thoughts. It was good to give her a way out, otherwise it would seem like she was at everyone's beck and call.
Entering the Hall of Elders, Little Angel couldn't care less about etiquette and started calling out to Qian Daoliu loudly.
"Grandfather, Snow'er is back!"
"Whoosh"
The old man was also very cooperative. Less than a second after Little Angel's words fell, he appeared in front of the two.
"Snow'er is back?"
Seeing his granddaughter return safely, the old man's eyes were full of smiles, but when his gaze swept over the pig who was arching his precious cabbage, the smile instantly disappeared and was replaced by a disgusted expression.
"You kid came too?"
Ning Bei didn't care about this and even wanted to say that your precious cabbage is really fragrant.
"Junior greets Elder Qian."
"I've heard about what happened on the continent. You guys did a good job. If I'm not mistaken, you're going to attack the Clear Sky Sect next, right?"
Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows. Her every move couldn't escape the old man's eyes.
"Yes, Grandfather, we will start dealing with the Clear Sky Sect when we go back this time."
"So you came back this time to ask your Elders to come out and help?"
The old man didn't guess this point correctly. Although the Clear Sky Sect was a tough bone to chew, it hadn't reached the point where these old guys needed to take action. A look of triumph appeared in Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes.
"You're wrong about that. We don't need Second Grandfather and the others to take action."
"Oh? So my Snow'er made a special trip back just to see us old fogies?"
Following the Little Angel's voice, the other Elders also arrived at the center of the Angel Temple. The Golden Crocodile, at the head, even teased Qian Renxue with a smile.
To this, the Little Angel could only offer an awkward smile. Could she say that she came back specifically to bring her man to beat up her own grandfather?
