Tang Yuehua looked at everyone and explained with a smile, "The top floor is my private space, only for honored guests. Without my permission, no one is allowed up here. Please, take your seats."
Everyone took their seats according to status.
Yu Yuanzhen glanced at Tang Yuehua, then at Xue Qinghe beside him, and slowly spoke: "I came here today for Tianming. As everyone knows, he was born with full innate soul power and possesses peerless talent. But due to his mutated martial soul, there is a flaw in it."
"Oh? What kind of flaw?" Tang Yuehua, who also had a mutated martial soul, was immediately intrigued.
Qian Renxue also turned her gaze to Yu Tianming.
Yu Yuanzhen explained, "Although Tianming cultivates extremely fast, as his level increases, his martial soul inevitably affects his temperament, making him increasingly bloodthirsty. We came this time to seek your Noble Halo Domain, hoping it can help dispel his killing intent."
Qian Renxue's brow furrowed slightly. As the heir to Spirit Hall and daughter of Qian Xunji—who had been killed by Tang Hao—she naturally knew about the Death God Domain.
Although Yu Yuanzhen had skirted around the truth by calling it a martial soul flaw, from the killing intent Yu Tianming had just displayed, she could more or less guess that he had already acquired the Death God Domain.
One had to know that Tang Hao obtained the Death God Domain at the age of twenty-eight. And Yu Tianming? How old was he now? She couldn't help but marvel at his talent.
She looked at Yu Tianming sitting beside him—tall like Yu Yuanzhen, seated on a chair in Yuexuan like a tiger nestled among stones, his muscles bulging with the same intimidating aura as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
That chiseled, handsome face, combined with his Soul King-level strength, made him a figure hard to ignore.
Qian Renxue thought to herself, 'With such talent, in the five hundred years before and after this era, perhaps only I can rival him.'
Just then, Tang Yuehua, having heard Yu Yuanzhen's awkward excuse, also fixed her burning gaze on Yu Tianming, smiling meaningfully.
"This child looks familiar to me—he bears quite a resemblance to my second brother, the Haotian Douluo. Even if Your Majesty Thunder had not spoken, I would still be happy to help Tianming dispel his killing intent."
Tang Yuehua was already closely tied to the Heaven Dou royal family, and her identity as Tang Xiao's younger sister was no secret to Xue Qinghe, so there was no need to conceal it.
Unlike the brutal succession system of the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire had learned to win hearts and minds and maintained strong ties with all three upper clans.
Since Tang Hao had killed Qian Xunji, the Clear Sky Clan had withdrawn its support of the Star Luo royal family and secluded itself in the misty mountains three hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City, hidden among steep peaks.
At this time, Yuexuan had become the main point of contact between the Clear Sky Clan and the outside world, as well as the bridge connecting it with the Heaven Dou royal family.
The royal family had shown great sincerity. Over the years, they had even allowed Yuexuan to monopolize the education of high-ranking nobles. Most of the nobles trained by Tang Yuehua would become future elites of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Yuexuan's status was equivalent to the "Huangpu Military Academy" of the empire, and Tang Yuehua was its headmaster.
Hearing her mention Tang Hao, Yu Tianming realized she had seen through to his Death God Domain. "Then I thank Madam for your assistance."
Tang Yuehua chuckled lightly. "However, if you want my help, I have a small request."
"Please, speak."
"My request is that over the next year, while I help you suppress your killing intent, you also study noble etiquette and music with Qinghe under my guidance."
Yu Tianming stared blankly at Tang Yuehua. He never expected that instead of leveraging the opportunity to make a deal benefiting the Clear Sky Clan, she would ask him to learn seemingly pointless things.
Tang Yuehua found his dumbfounded expression amusing. "I know what you're thinking, but this is for your own good. It may even help you calm your killing intent more quickly."
Yu Tianming tried to refuse, "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has also taught me some etiquette and music. Learning these things at Yuexuan might be unnecessary."
Seeing he didn't understand, Tang Yuehua added, "You only need to study for an hour or two each day. It won't affect your cultivation. Besides, since Qinghe is learning from me too, you can build rapport with him."
She wasn't planning to truly instruct Yu Tianming in etiquette and music like she once did with Tang San. Rather, Yu Tianming's rare talent reminded her of her grandfather—Tang Chen, who had once elevated the Clear Sky Clan to become the top clan on the continent, rivaling Qian Daoliu as one of the "Two Peaks" of Douluo.
Although she was the youngest of her siblings and had barely seen Tang Chen, she imagined that even in his youth, he might not have surpassed Yu Tianming.
Now that the Clear Sky Clan was on the verge of collapse and secluded in the mountains, forming a teacher-student bond with an as-yet-unformed genius like Yu Tianming was not only an investment in a future powerhouse but also a way to safeguard the Clear Sky Clan's legacy.
She also knew that Xue Qinghe wanted to strengthen ties with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. This arrangement would help the Heaven Dou royal family earn their favor.
If Xue Qinghe could one day win over all three upper clans, the Clear Sky Clan might even be able to emerge again without fearing Spirit Hall's power.
With this in mind, Tang Yuehua cast a meaningful glance at Yu Yuanzhen.
This was an excellent chance for Yu Tianming to build good relations with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Clear Sky Clan. Yu Yuanzhen naturally wouldn't miss it and advised, "Tianming, what you've learned at the clan is too basic. Learning etiquette and music at Yuexuan will benefit you."
After a moment, he added, "Of course, there's no need to master these subjects. Just spending more time with Qinghe and Yuehua can help you learn from their strengths."
Yu Tianming finally nodded, albeit reluctantly.
Although he only wanted to calm his killing intent and reach Rank 60 as soon as possible, he couldn't go against everyone's wishes. And what they said did make some sense—it wouldn't slow down his cultivation. He had no choice but to agree, temporarily yielding to this elegant noblewoman.
"I'll study here, but Grandpa should stay in a nearby tea room to rest, just in case Qinghe and I are targeted by assassins."
Yu Tianming knew that Qian Renxue, seated across from him, had two Title Douluo protecting her—Snake Lance and Porcupinefish.
Although the external soul bone he had acquired from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well gave him a powerful escape skill, allowing him to reveal his Soul King-level cultivation without fear, he still couldn't guarantee survival against a sneak attack from two Title Douluo.

Author Note: The original location of the Clear Sky Clan was not near Heaven Dou City.
According to Chapter 558 of the original novel:
The site of the final battle between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen was the very place where the Clear Sky Clan went into seclusion.
Qian Daoliu had promised Tang Chen that from that day forward, no one from Spirit Hall would set foot on that mountain—unless he could one day defeat Tang Chen.
