Capítulo 18: 18. Moon Pavilion
Two Days Later
Today, Xie Yue and Hu Liena stood in front of a building. It was a tall structure with five floors, one of the tallest in Heaven Dou City. The first impression of this building was elegance. The overall architectural style was slightly simple, with only two unadorned words on the plaque: Moon Pavilion.
In the past two days, Xie Yue had traveled and changed his resting location again. He rented a new room in a hotel closer to the Moon Pavilion, which would shorten his travel time and allow him to come back and forth more easily.
The Moon Pavilion is a place where nobles learn courtship and etiquette. It is one of the most distinguished establishments in the entire Heaven Dou Empire. Almost all nobles come to the Moon Pavilion to polish their noble aura, and being a graduate from the Moon Pavilion grants higher status.
As the Court Etiquette Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, those who can enter the Moon Pavilion to study must have at least noble status and be under 30 years old. It recruits only 100 students each year. Undoubtedly, this is the place to cultivate a new generation of nobles in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Notably, most of the students are not talented in cultivation. One or two soul masters may come to study now and then. After all, those with cultivation talent won't come here to waste their time learning etiquette. Naturally, they will concentrate on cultivating their soul power. When strength is paramount, who has time to waste their golden years of cultivation here?
But Xie Yue knows what is best for him: he must learn etiquette. He can use his cuteness and age to his advantage. But what will he do after he ages? He is not foolish enough to think everything can be solved with strength. Being well-versed in both sword and pen is the eternal truth. So allocating 4 to 5 hours of his time is not that hard. If he plans his schedule well, he can find enough time for cultivation.
Xie Yue knows there is a limit to how many hours a person can cultivate, which is between 6 to 8 hours per day. Even if a person cultivates longer than that, it won't have any effect.
Xie Yue is aware that cultivating instead of sleeping is also possible. So he is not worried about not having time to learn about soul beast knowledge or to practice soul skills and improve his fighting skills.
Xie Yue also has excellent memory. This is partly because he is using a child's brain. This body's brain has improved quickly to support his 66-year-old soul. When he was younger, he suffered from headaches many times because his small brain couldn't support his big thought processes. But eventually, after six years, his brain developed very well and rapidly compared to others. So learning theories is very simple for him.
"If I can get into the Moon Pavilion, I can naturally attract Tang Yuehua's attention with my learning talent," Xie Yue thought as he approached the Moon Pavilion gate with Hu Liena.
The two had just walked up to the gate when they were blocked by two youths in black and white clothing. The two youths appeared rather handsome and were dressed neatly. Each raised a hand, barring their path.
Xie Yue had anticipated this outcome, so he didn't show any reaction. The youths didn't act harshly upon seeing Xie Yue and Hu Liena's clothing.
"Can you tell us the reason for your visit?" the youth on the left asked.
Hu Liena felt flustered, but Xie Yue answered them cutely, "Big brother~ I am here to join the Moon Pavilion."
"You can't join now. You have to wait for another four months before joining. Even then, you must pass identity requirements before you can enroll. Come back with your parents or guardian after 3 to 4 months to apply," the youth on the left said calmly.
"Brother~ can't I join now?" Xie Yue asked again sweetly.
"No, last year's quota of 100 students is already filled. If you want to join now, you must be a special case or have an emperor's or prince's recommendation. If you have anything like that, I can inform the manager."
"Ahh~ brother. I am the special case. I know the owner of this place," Xie Yue lied shamelessly.
"Oh, show us your noble identification," the youth on the left replied calmly.
Xie Yue acted like he was searching his pockets. "Ahhh~ where is my token?" Xie Yue exclaimed in shock.
The youths exchanged knowing smiles at his reaction. As expected, Xie Yue had said something even a newborn wouldn't believe.
"Brother~ I dropped my token."
"Hehe, little brat. We've seen many people like you trying to impress our madam with various reasons. Even so, they were teen boys or uncles. But this is the first time we've seen a 6-year-old child come here and talk nonsense," the youth on the right mercilessly pointed out.
Realizing it was impossible to fool them, Xie Yue sighed inwardly. 'Sigh... If it were a girl or a woman, she might have believed my nonsense. Why are these guards all boys? Hey... let's try again tomorrow. Maybe the guards will change then,' he thought.
"Brother~ I really dropped it. I'll go and come back tomorrow with my token. Bye!" With that, Xie Yue turned around and left without looking back, dragging Hu Liena with him. Tomorrow, he wouldn't bring Hu Liena; with her here, he couldn't fully showcase his lying skills.
"Who is he trying to fool?" The two youths exchanged glances as they watched Xie Yue leave with a defeated look. This was the first time they had seen a kid acting so strangely.
