บท 128: Temptation
Moon Pavilion, it was one of the most distinguished places in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
It was the place where all the nobles went to learn courtship and etiquette, but that wasn't important.
The critical thing to remember was that the Moon Pavilion is owned by Tang Yuehua, Tang San's aunt.
Thinking of the Moon Pavilion made Wulin wonder if he should tell Tang San about his unknown aunt.
Out of the girls, only Rong Rong knew of the Moon Pavilion, because she was also a noble girl.
"The Moon Pavilion? That's great! Xue Ke, you are already so noble, when you graduate, people would be unable to stand in your presence."
Rong Rong was smiling as she laughed and joked to Xue Ke, who embarrassedly received the praise.
"I am not that noble. That is why I will be going to the Moon Pavilion so I can become more worthy of my status."
Xue Ke had a red face, no trace of her haughty nobility was seen when she faced the girls.
In the end, she was just a little girl with no friends. She had no resistance the girls and smiled all the time brightly, even when blushing.
"Rong Rong, what is the Moon Pavilion? I have never heard of it before." Feng Feng looked confused.
"It is like an Academy for nobles. Instead of cultivating their Spirit Power, they develop their noble aura by learning proper etiquettes,"
Rong Rong explained, "Only those in the noble circle go there, so not many people know about it."
"Oh..." Feng Feng nodded her head slowly. She obviously didn't care much for cultivating a noble aura.
However, she quickly became alert when Little Yue asked, "Big Brother, do you like girls with a noble aura?"
All eyes in the room focused on Wulin, including that of Xue Ke, who sneakily glanced over.
Suddenly faced with six pairs of eyes drawn on him, Wulin could only laugh awkwardly.
"I don't care about having a noble aura. Otherwise, I wouldn't be with this little bumpkin, who acted more viciously than other boys back in the day."
Wulin put a hand on Feng Feng's shoulder and shook it a little.
When they were little, Feng Feng loved to play around like a boy.
She fought anyone that bullied her, regardless of age or sex. With Wulin and Little Yue, she would run around and play anywhere, even in the mud.
After she tired herself out, she would sleep on the ground, until Wulin dragged her to the blanket for sleeping.
Feng Feng deeply blushed when she heard Wulin's words. She knew she was the most country bumpkin-like out of the girls.
However, it was relieving to know that Wulin was proud to be with her, despite her lack of nobility.
"Then, what do you all plan to do after the Spirit Master Competition?" Xue Ke asked curiously.
The girls once again turned to Wulin. He was the one that would decide what they would be doing.
"After the Spirit Master Tournament, we are planning to leave Heaven Dou Empire for a while," Wulin explained.
Immediately, Xue Ke's mood visibly deflated. She wasn't very good at hiding her emotions.
Well, Wulin could somewhat understand Xue Ke's feelings. She had just recently made her first few friends, but they said they were going to be leaving soon.
"Those four will not be leaving for at least another year. Only Xue Mei and I will be leaving directly after the Tournament." He gave her a small consolement.
And it worked. The deflated Xue Ke immediately brightened up once she heard the others wouldn't be leaving for another year.
Seeing how easily her expressions changed, Wulin inwardly laughed and thought she was quite cute.
At the same time, he decided to get the girls to introduce Xue Ke with the Shrek Academy group.
Jiang Zhu would be coming to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan after she graduates.
She also wouldn't be leaving the Clan except for when she is hunting for a Spirit Ring so then she would be an ideal friend for Xue Ke.
Because her spirit is Healing Scepter, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan can provide the ideal cultivation environment for her.
In fact, the same could be said for Rong Rong as well.
With the immense wealth owned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, optimal cultivation environments could be made for her.
However, Wulin wanted Rong Rong to be with them, so he didn't plan to make her stay in the Clan.
Xue Ke stayed for a couple of hours, talking to Wulin and the girls, but it was time for her to go.
They followed her to the gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan where a luxurious carriage was waiting.
"...I have to go now." Xue Ke stopped and sadly looked at the girls.
Her large crystalline eyes were becoming wet as she stared at them; she didn't want to leave yet.
Combined with her flawless white skin and delicate facial features, Xue Ke created a cuteness overload that nobody could resist.
"Awh~! I don't want you to leave!" Rong Rong hurriedly hugged Xue Ke tightly and complained.
The others also couldn't resist the temptation, and one by one hugged Xue Ke like she was a doll.
"Brother Wulin, does she have to leave? Can we keep her?" Rong Rong ran to Wulin's side and begged him.
Disregarding the fact that Rong Rong was treating Xue Ke like a pet, Xue Ke was also looking at Wulin expectantly.
However, the reality was cruel, "No. You girls need to focus on cultivation. We can't just keep Xue Ke here."
Xue Ke felt like a deflated balloon, and her legs probably would have given out if Little Yue wasn't holding her.
She felt like bawling her eyes out because Wulin was so decisive, not even considering her.
'Is this the divide between those who cultivate and those who don't? I will one day be left far behind them...'
Xue Ke understood, and she wasn't entirely wrong.
Wulin, Xue Mei and all the others were going to become Titled Douluo's, and eventually enter The God's Realm.
Even as Titled Douluo's, they would live much longer than Xue Ke, who rarely cultivated at all.
When they reached The God's Realm, they would gain eternal youth and become disconnected to the mortal world.
Xue Ke would one day grow old and die, while her friends would still be as youthful as ever.
Tears uncontrollably gathered in her eyes when she thought about it.
Loneliness had never really occurred to her until she made friends. Now, it crept up on her at the speed of light.
Rong Rong saw Xue Ke's distraught appearance, and it pulled at her heartstrings.
She couldn't give up.
"...Dear, please won't you reconsider? I will give you anything..."
Rong Rong grabbed Wulin's hand and slid it down her body, allowing him to grab a handful of her soft inner thigh.
She even brushed her sacred garden against him.
At the same time, she hugged his arm, tightly squishing one of her supple breasts against his steel-like muscles.
Rong Rong used her free hand to open the hem of her dress, brazenly exposing the milky white skin of her breast.
Just a little more, and Wulin would be able to see her light pink nipple. But he knew this was as far as she would show.
It was Rong Rong's ultimate seduction technique, one which she has yet to show Wulin.
She even used her most sultry voice, which could awaken the most primal instincts.
Wulin couldn't help but be distracted by Rong Rong's technique for a couple of moments.
However, he had a strong will and plenty of experience, so he regained clarity and cursed Rong Rong as a growing seductress.
"No." Wulin stood firm on his decision.
"All of you will go into secluded cultivation for half a month, I have decided." His tone was strict, not allowing any room for negotiation.
Rong Rong went quiet and no longer tried to seduce Wulin. She knew he was severe this time.
Wulin ignored her and walked up to Xue Ke. Tears of sadness slowly dripped from her eyes, no matter how hard she tried to stop it.
Finding a shadow appear in front of her, Xue Ke hesitantly lifted her head.
Wulin bent his knees to lower himself to Xue Ke's eye level.
"I know how you must be feeling right now, but I don't hate you. Nor do I want to keep you from meeting the others."
Wulin used a gentle voice, but it had no influence in calming Xue Ke down.
Instead, her tears flowed like a river, "...Why?"
Her voice was laden with sadness, and she spoke at a level that was near a whisper.
Even Wulin who deals with Little Jing's cuteness on a daily basis couldn't help but feel a tugging at his chest.
It was because he rarely had to deal with a crying girl.
"I can't tell you. But I promise, after half a month, I will let you play with the girls for an entire day, no matter what you want to do."
Like a little child that got coaxed into following someone suspicious, Xue Ke stopped crying and stared at Wulin with her beady eyes.
"...Really?"
Wulin confidently nodded his head, "Of course. Now, you should get going. During the half month, you should also cultivate. You know why, right?"
Xue Ke bravely wiped her tears and nodded her head, "I understand!"
If she didn't want to be left behind, she had to cultivate like them.
Xue Ke ran to the carriage and hurriedly left under the eyes of Wulin and the girls.
Wulin turned around and looked at the girls, "All of you should return to the palace. Try your best to make a breakthrough during this time."
The girls silently nodded their heads and returned.
When they arrived, Wulin called Rong Rong to his room.
"What do you need, Brother Wulin?" She asked hesitantly.
"I have something to tell you. It's about earlier."
Rong Rong frowned and apologised, "I'm sorry for trying to seduce you... But do we have to do it now?"
Wulin bonked Rong Rong on the head, "I am not talking about that, you silly thing. It is about why you must stay in the Clan for half a month."
Rong Rong grabbed her head in pain and sat on the bed, "What about it? Don't you want us to cultivate for the Spirit Master Tournament?"
Wulin nodded his head, "That is one reason. The other is because it is no longer safe outside of the Clan."
Rong Rong's eyes widened in shock, "What do you mean it isn't safe?"
"Spirit Hall knows about our potential now. I am positive that they will send someone to assassinate us. Especially you." Wulin said.
Rong Rong stared at Wulin, and fear was beginning to seep into her eyes.
"Why do they specifically want to kill me? I don't have any combat power!" She asked hastily.
She was practically in Wulin's lap now, since she instinctively moved to a safer place.
"You might not be powerful on your own, but you can raise the level of an entire army," Wulin tenderly held her.
"They also do not know of Xue Mei's talents yet, so you, who has evolved your Spirit, has become the most prime target."
Rong Rong shook her head, "I don't want that! Brother Wulin, what should we do? Let's tell Daddy!"
"I'm sure Father-in-Law already knows, and would soon restrict our movements," Wulin said.
"I will talk to him and Grandpa Bone about a plan to deal with the assassins."
"All you need to do is stay in the Clan and cultivate, Spirit Hall will have to give up after suffering enough losses."
