Luo Yu paid no attention to the minor incident he encountered on the road.
It didn't matter whether it was Avalanche, who was merely a prince—even if the Snow Night Emperor himself dare to come over and act all high and mighty, Luo Yu wouldn't indulge such bad behavior and would have struck all the same.
To other Soul Masters, the Tiandou Empire was a massive entity, an existence not to be provoked.
But to him, it was trifling.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew Avalanche was only pretending to be a wastrel and wasn't inherently evil, based on that guy's previous behavior of rushing at him and oppressing the commoners, he would have long since punched him into a mist of blood.
Since he had already spared that guy once, if he came looking for trouble again, then he couldn't blame Luo Yu.
Luo Yu quickly put aside Prince Avalanche, the salted fish of a prince.
He walked all the way to the most bustling area in the center of Tiandou City and stopped before a towering building.
This was a grand five-tiered building, which was considered quite tall in Tiandou City, giving off an elegant and refined impression from the outside.
The overall architectural style was somewhat quaint, with the signboard only carved with two simple characters—"Yuexuan."
Not many passersby were entering and leaving.
However, one could tell that the people coming in and out were either dressed in opulent clothing or carried themselves with outstanding temperament, with many beautiful girls of flowering age.
Their conservative yet sexy outfits, with long golden dresses sweeping the floor and snow-white arms exposed, handsome facial features, radiated a nobility's unique allure.
The pretty faces clearly displayed pride, holding up their fair necks like proud little peacocks.
Luo Yu walked towards Yuexuan, only to be stopped by two young men as soon as he approached the door.
Both young men were quite handsome. The one on the left said with a proud look, "I'm sorry, please stop, Yuexuan does not welcome those with disheveled attire."
Luo Yu frowned.
He was wearing indigo-colored clothes magically transformed from the leaves of the Pure Golden Lotus.
Seamless and untouched by even a speck of dust.
And these two were telling him his clothes were messy?
"What qualifies as proper attire?" Luo Yu asked with patience, not rushing to anger.
Hearing Luo Yu's question, the youth on the left explained:
"Your dress is too casual, which is a great disrespect to Yuexuan. Everyone who comes to Yuexuan dresses up and wears formal attire."
"Why bother talking so much with this kind of person?"
The young man beside him couldn't help but criticize his companion and, after giving Luo Yu a look up and down, waved his hand impatiently, "Go on, go on, don't block the way for other nobles. You don't even know the rules of Yuexuan and dare to come join in the fun? This isn't a place for commoners like you."
Hearing the other party's disdain and contempt, Luo Yu's expression gradually darkened.
He suddenly realized something.
Whether it was the prince Avalanche or the youth at the door, they both clearly exhibited a sense of noble superiority, looking down on commoners.
What difference did it make from the feudal society of his previous life?
Considering that, except for Tian Shui Academy, the other four major elemental advanced Soul Master academies only admitted nobles, he instantly understood the state of the Tiandou Empire.
If not for the support given to commoners by the Martial Soul Hall, the nobility would probably monopolize all resources.
Luo Yu suddenly began to despise the feudal ruling system of this empire from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, the two youths at the doorstep of Yuexuan couldn't possibly imagine that because of their difficulties with Luo Yu, he had developed an aversion for this group of nobles that oppressed the common people.
Which led to a major event that later saw the complete disappearance of the two great empires.
"Hey, are you going to hurry up and leave?"
The youth urged him on, disdain on his face as if Luo Yu standing outside was a blemish on their cultured environment.
Luo Yu did not bother to get angry with such trivial figures, and looking up at him, he stated calmly, "There's really no need to excessively pursue external luxury, which is to mistake the means for the end."
"What good is it to wear the most sumptuous clothes? Without sufficient inner cultivation to back it up, in the end, one is nothing but a disgraceful beast in fine raiment."
The youth glared, dissatisfied with Luo Yu, and raised his voice:
"Where did such a person come from, daring to spout nonsense here? Totally ignorant of how the world works. Do you know who studies here, who wants to listen to your preachy rant?"
Luo Yu continued, "I think your host probably thinks the same way."
"Otherwise, why build the architecture so modestly and not a dazzling palace? It's a pity you students haven't grasped this essence at all."
"Valuing externals too much."
"Shut up!"
The youth barked harshly, looking fiercely at Luo Yu.
"Who do you think you are, telling me what to do here?"
"Do I have the key, and do you?"
"Move on, move on, don't be an eyesore here. Looking at you is annoying." The other youth stepped forward to push him.
Watching the two aggressive young men, Luo Yu sighed softly.
"Sigh."
"Bang, bang!"
After several muffled sounds of punches landing on flesh, two young men lay on the ground.
Their clothes in tatters, their faces swollen and bruised.
Luo Yu brushed the dust off his body and looked down at the two on the ground, shaking his head helplessly.
"I originally wanted to talk things out with you guys peacefully and solve the problem."
"Turns out, taking action is a time-saver."
"Talking might not work even after three days and nights, but a few punches and kicks bring silence to the world instantly."
"I used to think that the world of martial artists was not just about fighting and killing, but about human emotions and relationships. Now I've realized that against stubborn fools, fighting and killing are indeed more effective. If you can throw a punch, don't just stand there blathering."
The two young men, lying on the ground, pointed at Luo Yu with shock and anger.
"You... you dare to throw punches at the gate of Yuexuan?"
"You dare to hit us?"
"My dad is Li..."
"Bang, bang bang!!"
Luo Yu flashed his teeth at the two shrinking into the corner, revealing an innocuous smile.
"Sorry, I don't like people pointing at me."
The two young men were visibly agitated, seething with rage...
Luo Yu made a shushing gesture, his deep and silent black eyes fixed on them, "You two had better watch your words; in my presence, saying the wrong thing can easily get you killed."
A chill ran down the backs of the two young men, who quickly covered their mouths and fell silent.
"Isn't it better this way?" Luo Yu said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, if you show me respect, I will show you respect. Actually, I'm quite easy-going."
The eyes of the two young men were filled with fear as they rolled their eyes.
We don't believe you for a second.
Picking a fight at the drop of a hat, and you call that easy-going?
Luo Yu asked, "May I go in now?"
"Please, come in."
The two young men made respectful welcoming gestures on the surface, while sneering and plotting inside.
Kid, just you wait, nobility shall not be insulted.
Just you dare go in, and wait to be completely dominated by us!
The moment Luo Yu stepped in, before he had a chance to take in Yuexuan's interior, the large door behind him slammed shut.
The two young men whistled sharply.
A group of young people, all dressed in splendid attire, surrounded Luo Yu in the center.
Beautiful, elegant noble young ladies stood to the side, watching from a distance.
The young man touched his swollen face, giving Luo Yu a sinister look.
"You actually dared to come in. Today, I'll show you what's called 'catching turtles in a jar.'"
"Brothers, get him for me, beat this punk to a pulp. If anything gets broken, I'll pay for it. When the master of Yuexuan returns, I'll explain it to him, saying some blind fool came here looking for trouble!"
"Boom!"
Rings of Soul Rings rose up in spirals, filling the spacious hall of Yuexuan with colorful light.
At this moment, Luo Yu was like a lamb, surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves, their eyes glinting menacingly.
He scanned the circle, his gaze passing over each person's face, shaking his head with a sigh.
"Can't we talk this over? I didn't come here to fight."
The young man glared, his cheeks aching, sneering, "Weren't you acting all high and mighty just now?"
"Getting cold feet now?"
"Too late!"
"Brothers, charge!!!"
A crowd of fiery young nobles swarmed in, and amidst the enclosing circle, a resigned sigh escaped from Luo Yu.
"Bang bang bang—"
Meanwhile, three people were rushing back to Yuexuan from the direction of Qinge.
Tang Yuehua, her graceful figure wrapped in a silver palace dress, wore a look of disappointment on her face.
The pretty girl Xue Ke in white long stockings and Xue Qinghe were also downcast.
Because they had taken a fruitless trip, failing to meet the master who played the epoch-making melody.

Dear reader brothers, I earnestly ask for a day off, as today is the author's birthday.
Birthdays can be skipped, but I must take my mother out for dinner. (Dog head for life-saving, sorry, sorry, there are two more updates today)
