Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 11 Yuexuan
Different from the gloomy atmosphere of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the Lin Family Duke's Mansion was as peaceful and tranquil as usual.

"Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the moon is so round!"

In the open-air hot spring, Lin Rong looked up at the full moon in the starry sky and couldn't help but express his feelings:

"We should shed tears when we look at the bright moon together, and feel homesick all at the same time."

"I don't think I'm a sentimental person, but I can't help but miss my family from past and present lives under this full moon."

"Tang Yuehua, oh Tang Yuehua, how much do you miss your second brother whom you haven't seen for many years?"

"I am a person who is always willing to help others, so let me help you!"

……

Day two.

In the most prosperous area in the center of Tiandou City, there is an ancient and elegant building called Yuexuan.

As the Tiandou Empire's court etiquette school, Yuexuan has been a golden signboard since the moment it was founded.

Because the graduates from Yuexuan are hailed as "true aristocrats".

The mysterious master of Yuexuan Pavilion, "Madam Yue", is said to have an unknown relationship with Tiandou Emperor Xue Ye.

Of course, this is just a rumor.

In fact, the true identity of "Madam Yue" is the daughter of the previous generation of Haotian Douluo and the younger sister of the two Douluos of this generation, Xiaotian and Haotian - Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua's identity was no secret among the top aristocratic circles. The Lin family, as hereditary dukes, happened to be among them.

The top floor of Yuexuan.

All the furniture here is made of agarwood, exuding a light and elegant fragrance.

A graceful lady in palace dress sat on a wooden chair, looking so dignified and natural. If it weren't for the faint dark circles under her eyes, everything would be perfect.

This lady in palace dress is Tang Yuehua. At this moment, she casually stroked her eyes with her finger and said:
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Duke. The moon was so beautiful last night that I couldn't bear to let it go. I never thought that I would have to work all night until dawn, which would cause my appearance to be damaged today."

"I wonder why the Duke came to Yuexuan? You are still young, and it is not time for you to learn court etiquette."

Lin Rong sat on a wooden chair opposite Tang Yuehua, with the old butler standing behind him.

After hearing these words, Lin Rong smiled politely and directly stated his purpose.

"I come here to tell you a piece of news. I believe you will be very interested."

Things of interest?

After hearing this, Tang Yuehua looked at Lin Rong calmly. Although Lin Rong's temperament was more stable, he was still a six-year-old child at heart.

What could a six-year-old child say that would interest her? Even if the six-year-old child in front of her was a duke.

"I'd like to hear more about it!" Tang Yuehua smiled gracefully, picked up a cup of tea from the table and sipped it.

This action did not escape Lin Rong's eyes.

Although there was nothing wrong with this action in terms of etiquette, Tang Yuehua's behavior clearly showed that she did not take his words to heart.

It was just out of politeness that I was willing to take the time to listen to what this six-year-old kid had to say.

But Lin Rong didn't care much about these.

After all, everything has two sides. The appearance of a six-year-old child is not only deceptive, but also easily looked down upon by others.

For example, now, Tang Yuehua doesn’t believe that Lin Rong has anything that interests her.

However, since Tang Yuehua was not in a hurry, Lin Rong followed her example and picked up a cup of tea from the table. He fiddled with the lid with his right hand but did not drink it. Instead, he spoke slowly:

"More than two months ago, one of my guards was on his way to the Kingdom of Barak for business, and he passed through a small town in the province of Fasno."

"That city is called Notting City. My guard is familiar with a patrol deacon of the Notting City Wuhun Hall."

"While the two were talking, the patrol deacon mentioned something."

"There is a person with full innate soul power in the local Holy Soul Village, but unfortunately it is a useless martial soul - Blue Silver Grass."

Tang Yuehua lowered her head to sip tea and listen to what Lin Rong said. After hearing the words "Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power", her hands trembled unnaturally. Lin Rong was still fiddling with the teacup in his hand, and he lowered his head:
"Notting City is a remote place after all. Even the people in the Spirit Hall are shallow in knowledge."

"With full innate soul power, even if the martial soul is a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass, it still has great potential."

"It is precisely because my guards knew this that they sought information about the civilian child in order to recruit him."

"The child who awakened his innate full soul power is called Tang San. His father is the only blacksmith in Holy Soul Village. Everyone in Holy Soul Village calls that blacksmith Tang Hao!"

"Crack!" A sound.

The teacup in Tang Yuehua's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the tea splashed everywhere, wetting her skirt.

On the other side, Lin Rong seemed to have seen and heard nothing, and continued to talk about his story:

"According to the villagers of Holy Soul Village, six years ago, a man who claimed to be Tang Hao came to Holy Soul Village with a baby."

"The village chief Jack of Holy Soul Village felt sorry for them and the village happened to be in need of a blacksmith, so he let the father and son stay."

"Madam Yue, as far as I know, your second brother's name is Tang Hao."

"At the same time, the shocking battle between the former Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji and your brother also happened exactly six years ago."

"Although I was still in my mother's womb at that time, I learned from various sources after I was born that the outbreak of this war seemed to be related to a woman."

"And that woman, if not unexpected, should be Tang San's mother."

"I don't know why the former pope wanted to compete with your brother for a woman, but he actually got so angry about it."

"How can the former pope, who is already in his fifties, be so jealous over a woman? I really don't know what to say."

"After my guard learned that Tang San was the son of Clear Sky Douluo, he gave up the idea of ​​recruiting him and reported the matter to me."

"When the news came back, I was in Sunset Forest obtaining spirit rings, so I couldn't tell Madam Yue about this matter right away."

"So as soon as I returned to the Duke's Mansion, I sent someone to Yuexuan to hand in the visiting card, and I hurried over the next day."

"It's a pity for Madam Yue's nephew. Although he inherited his father's talent for cultivation and has an innate full soul power that is rare in a hundred years, his martial soul inherited his mother's blue silver grass."

"This is really strange. The Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number one weapon spirit, was actually defeated by the Blue Silver Grass in the inheritance of spirit bloodline. Could it be that this Blue Silver Grass has something special about it?"

"Sorry! That got off topic."

"Excuse me, Madam Yue, are you still interested in this matter?"

Tang Yuehua was worthy of being the master of Yuexuan. She quickly adjusted her mood and returned to her previous elegant and graceful appearance.

But Lin Rong knew that Tang Yuehua was just pretending to be calm.

Because he learned through life perception that Tang Yuehua's life breath exuded strong emotional fluctuations.

"Sorry, I was rude just now." Tang Yuehua's tone seemed calm and composed, but her next words revealed her inner anxiety.

"Thank you for the news, Duke. Yuehua is very grateful."

"But I suddenly remembered that I had something important to deal with, so I won't keep the Duke here for long."

The goal had been achieved, so Lin Rong naturally would not stay any longer, not to mention that the owner of Yuexuan had already started to drive people away.

So, Lin Rong put down the teacup, stood up and said, "No, since Madam is busy, I won't bother you."

After saying that, Lin Rong and the old housekeeper walked down the stairs, intending to go directly back home, but they ran into an unexpected person on the fourth floor of Yuexuan.

　Yuexuan holds a term every three years.

　　Tang started learning at the age of thirty-nine and completed the three-year course for others in just one year.

　　At the age of twenty, he played the harp on behalf of the graduating class.

　　Xue Ke was in the same class as Tang San, so she went to Yuexuan when Tang San was seventeen years old.

　　Tang San is now six years old, and seventeen minus six equals eleven.

　　Therefore, Xue Ke came to Yuexuan to study eleven years later.
