Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City
Walking down the street, Mu Chen led the way with Xiao Wu affectionately holding his arm. Behind them were Meng Yiran, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Tang San.
"Brother Mu, where are you taking us?" Ma Hongjun, the most impatient of the group, couldn't help but ask Mu Chen again.
"Look, it's right there." Mu Chen pointed to the end of the square where a grand and impressive building stood.
The building stood tall and alone in the square, a standout in the densely populated Heaven Dou City. Within a 500-meter radius, there were no other structures, highlighting its extraordinary nature.
"Is that... Moon Pavilion?" Ning Rongrong asked in surprise.
As the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, which had its sect just outside Heaven Dou City, Ning Rongrong had visited the capital several times and immediately recognized the building ahead.
"Rongrong, what is Moon Pavilion?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"Moon Pavilion is a place where nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire learn court etiquette," Ning Rongrong explained, glancing at Mu Chen, puzzled as to why he brought them here for training. Did Mu Chen want them to learn noble etiquette?
"Learn etiquette?"
Hearing Ning Rongrong's explanation, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, and the others looked at Mu Chen in confusion. Especially Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, who were already noble children and didn't need to learn noble etiquette.
"Don't doubt it. That is where your next training will be," Mu Chen smiled.
"Brother Mu, I don't understand. I want to become stronger. Can noble etiquette make me stronger?" Dai Mubai questioned.
"Why not? Being adept at social interactions is also a skill. Used well, it can have a significant impact. With your current aura leaking out, your immediate task is to learn how to hide yourselves in the soul master world and control your killing intent," Mu Chen replied.
"Can etiquette help us control our killing intent?" Dai Mubai looked at Mu Chen skeptically.
Mu Chen smiled again and led them to the entrance of Moon Pavilion.
"Stop. Only nobles are allowed in here; servants cannot enter."
As Mu Chen and the others approached Moon Pavilion, two guards stepped forward to stop them.
"Hmm?"
Mu Chen's eyes sharpened, and a hint of killing intent seeped out. The chilling aura made the guards shiver involuntarily. One of them backed away in fear, likely to seek help.
Sigh
Mu Chen took a deep breath to calm himself. Not only his companions but even he struggled to control his killing intent. Though they had only stayed in the Slaughter City for three months, Mu Chen would instinctively reveal his killing intent towards those who offended him, wanting to kill them.
Not just Mu Chen, but Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and the others also took a moment to calm down and retract their leaking killing intent.
Intimidated by the group's killing intent, the guards trembled and no longer dared to stop them.
As Mu Chen and the others entered the hall, they saw many well-dressed nobles and socialites engaged in lively conversation.
"Deputy Manager Awey, it's them who broke into our Moon Pavilion."
The guard who had been frightened away pointed to Mu Chen and the group, speaking respectfully to a middle-aged man beside him.
The middle-aged man had a square face, wore luxurious robes, and exuded a noble demeanor with his hands clasped behind his back. As he scanned the group of nine youths, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Each of these youths possessed soul power levels that did not match their age. The young man leading them had soul power so profound that even as a Soul Sage, he couldn't discern it.
Monsters!
That was Deputy Manager Awey's first impression of the nine youths before him.
"Moon Pavilion is a place for nobles to learn etiquette, and commoners are not allowed entry," Deputy Manager Awey stated calmly.
"Are you sure?" Mu Chen asked disdainfully.
Deputy Manager Awey nodded.
"Are you really sure?" Mu Chen waved a hand, tossing a bag of gold soul coins onto the ground.
"I'm sure!" Deputy Manager Awey reiterated.
"Are you really sure?" Mu Chen, with a thought, produced double the amount of gold soul coins.
Now, the gold soul coins scattered on the ground amounted to 300,000.
Three hundred thousand gold soul coins were a fortune. Even some viscounts didn't possess such wealth.
"You are insulting Moon Pavilion!" Deputy Manager Awey said coldly.
"Am I?" Mu Chen chuckled. With another thought, he produced ten more bags of gold soul coins. The coins now totaled 1.3 million on the ground.
"Hmph! Do you think having some money makes you great?"
Deputy Manager Awey snorted, internally pondering Mu Chen's background. How could he produce over a million gold soul coins?
"Are you sure this is just some dirty money?" Mu Chen smiled cheekily, producing another ten bags of gold soul coins, throwing them at Deputy Manager Awey.
"You... you are so blatant, it seems I must..."
Seeing Mu Chen's arrogant demeanor, Deputy Manager Awey was furious, his hands clenched tight, on the verge of exploding.
"What do you intend to do?"
Mu Chen continued to pull gold soul coins from his storage soul guide, showering them on the middle-aged man. As he did, he asked, "What do you intend to do? Tell me?"
"Uh!"
Deputy Manager Awey was stunned.
Mu Chen's speed at throwing coins was fast, and now the total on the ground exceeded two million.
Sigh~
Two million gold soul coins, even the upper three sects or a marquis of the Heaven Dou Empire couldn't produce such an amount at once.
"Tell me, what do you intend to do today?"
Mu Chen continued to bombard Deputy Manager Awey with gold soul coins. The coins roughly totaled five million now.
Sigh~
Five million, even the prince's mansion couldn't produce such an amount at once.
Ten gold soul coins were enough to ensure a family of four lived comfortably for a year. Here lay five million gold soul coins.
Deputy Manager Awey locked eyes with Mu Chen, utterly bewildered. As the deputy manager of Moon Pavilion and a Soul Sage over level seventy, he never imagined he'd be bombarded with money one day.
Isn't this an insult?
The nobles and socialites in the hall, from prestigious backgrounds, undoubtedly expected Deputy Manager Awey to teach these young people a harsh lesson. After all, this was incredibly insulting.
However, after staring at Mu Chen for a while and clearly on the verge of erupting, Deputy Manager Awey's clenched hands suddenly relaxed. His expression shifted dramatically, and with a smile, he said, "Then I have decided to accept you, allowing you to exceptionally enter the Heaven Dou Empire's court etiquette school to study etiquette and music."
