Chapter 19: Star Pavilion!
Listening to Xiao Hui's words, Tang Lin secretly thought: "Could it be that the seven starlights are related to my true energy?"
He thought for a moment and felt that he still couldn't get a clear understanding, so he could only give up and shift his interest to his own true energy.
"Now, I am a Martial Artist of the Second Realm, and my True Qi can harm people from a distance." Tang Lin's mind was racing with thoughts, his True Qi was like a raging river, flowing through his body's meridians, gathering at his fingertips, condensing into a small, vibrant red knife.
This red is like the vital energy in the human body, like the bright red of sunrise, full of gentle and pure breath.
"Fly!" Tang Lin manipulated the small knife that gathered the true energy, rotating around his body, feeling the wonder of the true energy.
Xiao Hui smiled and watched from the side.
At noon, Tang Lin finally left the dormitory and came to the archery district to continue training his shooting skills. Not long after, Liu Hui and Zhao Zi'er suddenly arrived at the archery district together.
"Tang Lin." Zhao Ziyu called out from a distance.
Tang Lin turned his head and looked back.
"Teacher?" Tang Lin asked in surprise: "How did you get here."
Liu Hui smiled and said, "I just received a message from the higher-ups that you passed the Star Domain test, sensed the Dragon Head Star, have an extraordinary talent, and can directly join the Star Pavilion, so I brought everyone here to hold a celebration banquet for you."
Tang Lin suddenly came to his senses.
"Come on, come on! I've already booked the 'Tian' private room at the Tian Xiang Lou. Today, everyone must have a great time!" Zhao Ziyu said generously.
Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.
Tang Lin saw everyone's enthusiasm and felt a warmth in his heart. He immediately put down his bow and arrow, smiled and said: "Then let's go together."
"Uh-huh." Liu Hui beckoned and led everyone away together.
All the way.
Zhao Ziyu and Wang Yong, among others, kept asking Tang Lin about that star domain, like a curious baby. Tang Lin told them the truth, and several people were shocked to hear it. They didn't expect the Seven Star Martial Arts Hall's foundation to be so deep.
"I've heard the teacher say that those who can sense the Red Moon Star are rare geniuses, and the Dragon Head Star is even more extraordinary. Zhao Ziyu looked at Tang Lin with envy, saying: "You're only thirteen this year, and after returning from the star domain, you directly reached the second realm of martial arts. In the future, when you enter the Star Pavilion for training, your strength will surely soar. I'm afraid that by the time you're twenty, you'll become a Martial God!"
Tang Lin rubbed his nose.
"If we enter that star domain, I don't know what stars we can sense." Wang Yong said longingly.
Xu Yan and Zhang Tao both had a look of yearning, but only Xie Jianfeng remained unchanged, still wearing white clothes like snow, with a cold and detached face like the edge of a sword, without any expression.
"Tianxiang Building has arrived." Zhao Ziyu pointed forward with her hand.
At the end of the bustling and clean street, beside a prosperous intersection, stood a magnificent building quietly. The building was three stories high, with red lanterns hanging under the eaves of each floor, full of festive atmosphere.
Zhao Ziyu led Tang Lin and the others, preparing to enter, when two guards at the entrance of Tianxiang Building stretched out their hands to block everyone.
Zhao Ziyu furrowed her eyebrows and said, "What are you doing?"
"Tian Xiang Lou has already been booked by our master's family, you can look for another place." The two guards said coldly.
Tang Lin and others all furrowed their brows.
They were usually the geniuses in the spotlight, and had never been treated with such coldness before. Zhao Ziyu was about to speak up when Liu Hui pulled her hand back.
"Let's go." Liu Hui said in a low voice.
"Teacher, they're too rude..."
"Leave first and talk later." Liu Hui said with a glance.
Several people were intelligent and saw that his expression was different, so they immediately suppressed it. After leaving the Tianxiang Building gate, Liu Hui said: "There is a golden 'five' character on the helmets of these two guards. If I'm not mistaken, they should be under the command of the Fifth Prince. Moreover, their aura is very strong, at least they are strong in the fourth realm of martial arts!"
Tang Lin and others were all startled in their hearts.
The Fifth Prince?
In the entire empire, the most noble one is naturally the imperial family.
Zhao Ziyu snorted and said: "Fortunately, I didn't act rashly just now, otherwise I would have made a big mistake."
Just then——
On the side of the bustling street, a dignified eight-person sedan chair slowly emerged, and from it walked out a person with a tall stature, handsome face, full of vitality and elegance, giving people a warm feeling.
Tang Lin felt that this handsome young man's body actually had true energy floating inside, and he should be a strong martial artist of the second boundary.
The young man in the dignified and elegant attire, surrounded by a crowd of attendants, arrived at the Tianxiang Building. Two guards at the entrance knelt down on one knee and said, "Greetings to the imperial prince."
The handsome young man waved his hand and asked, "Has he arrived?"
"Lord Zhao is already waiting inside." a guard replied.
The handsome young man nodded in satisfaction and walked in.
Tang Lin and others looked from afar, Liu Hui said to everyone: "Let's go, these five princes are probably going to meet with distinguished guests here. As martial artists, it's better not to get involved with the royal family."
Tang Lin and others nodded.
They also saw that those two powerful warriors of the Four Realms actually knelt down on one knee, which was an absolute unbearable humiliation for them.
Several people left Tianxiang Building and walked along the street.
"Let's go to 'Drunken Moon Building' on another street, this Drunken Moon Building is not much different from Tianxiang Building." Zhao Zi'er said hesitantly.
Several people had no objection.
As they were walking down the street, a small beggar suddenly appeared before them, disheveled and tattered, looking destitute, but with a voice as clear as a silver bell, saying: "Gentlemen, please give me some money, I haven't eaten for several days, please have mercy on me and give me some."
Several people were astonished, never expecting this little beggar to be a woman.
Tang Lin frowned and said: "You're in good health, why are you begging instead of finding a job?"
The little beggar looked at Tang Lin and said in surprise: "Being a beggar is also a job, isn't it?"
Tang Lin was taken aback for a moment.
Several people were stunned by the little beggar's words, apparently hearing it for the first time. Someone even said that begging is a job, such a strange argument.
"Come on, gentlemen, have a heart." The little beggar pleaded.
Tang Lin looked at his desolate appearance and was slightly moved. He immediately took out some loose silver from his pocket and handed it to the little beggar, saying: "From now on, don't beg anymore. The book says that men have three things they must not do: be a slave, be a beggar, or be evil! Women also have three things they must not do: be a prostitute, be deceitful, or be a beggar. From this, it can be seen that being a beggar is the most unacceptable thing to do."
The little beggar smiled and said: "You must be a bookworm."
"You little beggar, how dare you speak like that?" Zhao Ziyu shouted.
The little beggar shrugged indifferently and said, "Since you've given me money, just leave now, don't delay my business."
Tang Lin and others were all choked with anger.
No one expected that Tang Lin would give out money, but this little beggar was ungrateful and directly drove them away. Such a beggar is truly rare in the world.
However, everyone present insisted on their own identity and did not turn against a beggar, so they could only leave in anger.
Tang Lin took a glance at the little beggar, shook his head and turned around to leave.
The little beggar gazed at the backs of several people, curled his lips into a smile, revealing a mouthful of neat and clean white teeth.
……
Drunken Moon Pavilion
Tang Lin and others came here, ordered some wine and dishes, forgot all the unpleasant things before, and started eating and drinking.
Everyone took turns offering Tang Lin wine.
Tang Lin never liked drinking from a young age, as it made him lose control, so he could only use tea as a substitute for wine and drink with everyone.
It wasn't until dusk when the sun set in the west that several people stumbled out of Drunken Moon Building, having drunk to a state of dizziness.
Among these people, only Tang Lin, Xie Jianfeng and Zhao Ziyu, Xu Yan walked normally, while Liu Hui, Wang Yong and Zhang Tao were flushed with red faces and reeking of alcohol.
Returned to the martial arts hall.
On the martial arts arena, everyone was preparing to disperse. Wang Yong and Zhang Tao said vaguely: "Tang Lin, you must work harder!"
"Tang Lin, you are my pride." Liu Hui said vaguely.
Zhao Ziyu and Xu Yan, among others, said a few words to Tang Lin separately before everyone parted ways. In his heart, Tang Lin silently thought: "Keep going, you guys will definitely make a name for yourselves in the future!"
Back in his dormitory, Tang Lin's heart couldn't calm down.
"Tomorrow, I can enter the Star Pavilion!" Tang Lin's heart was filled with anxiety, tension, and strong anticipation. "At that time, I will be able to see my second sister, it has been half a year since we last met, I don't know how much she has changed."
Thinking of his second sister, Tang Lin's heart felt a warmth.
When I was a kid, the three of us would play together in the deep winter, having snowball fights and making snowmen. My older brother and second sister have always been very doting on me since we were young, giving in to me in everything.
No matter what you eat or drink, always let yourself have some first.
Tang Lin's heart moved slightly as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a jade pendant, which was bought for him by his second sister and elder brother on the streets of the capital.
No matter what time it is, they always think of themselves.
"Second sister, I miss you so much!" Tang Lin gazed out of the window.
The bright moonlight spilled onto the windowsill, and Tang Lin tightly grasped the jade pendant, unknowingly falling into a dreamland.
……
Early in the morning, sunlight comes.
Tang Lin gradually came back to consciousness, he quickly gathered his things and then brought Xiao Hui to the top of the Red Building.
Because Xiao Hui was a living creature, it couldn't be put into the spatial ring, so Tang Lin had no choice but to let it perch on his shoulder.
"Has he arrived?" The red-robed master of the tower, dressed in a brand new crimson robe, smiled as he looked at Tang Lin and asked, "Is everything ready?"
Tang Lin nodded slightly.
The red-robed owner glanced at the little grey on his body and smiled: "Is this your pet?"
Tang Lin looked embarrassed and nodded slightly.
Xiao Hui simply raised her eyes and stared at the red-robed master for a moment.
"Let's go." The red-robed master smiled, grabbed Tang Lin's body, and a strange power enveloped him. His body distorted in the air and disappeared instantly.
