Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Empire.
While Dugu Bo was heading to the Heaven Dou Royal Palace to carry out his mission, which is handing out the invitation and showing off.
The True Lord of Ouroboros Tower, Rayne Ashburn, was also currently at Heaven Dou City.
The place he was currently at, was quite far away from the direction of Royal Palace, as well as the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
He is surrounded by a lot of women, constantly talking to him, blushing and squirming.
There are even women feeling dizzy and fainting, as soon as he respond to her greetings and flattery with a smile of his own.
"Good grief."
At the same time, he is also some glad that he put on something similar to a limiter for concealing part of his appearance.
Because, even in his partial camouflaged state, he is still attracting too much attention from women.
While he's an aspiring Harem King, Rayne is not an all-come all-accept kind of harem seeker.
If that was the case, he would've long become a king or an emperor, and started a grand harem of three thousand concubines or something.
"Sorry, wonderful ladies. I have an appointment to attend. So, please excuse me~."
With a carefree smile on his face that made the surrounding ladies, momentarily dazed, some even blushing furiously. Rayne excused himself and got away from there.
These women are a bit too proactive.
Currently, Rayne is standing before a building that has a very significant reputation and position in Heaven Dou Empire.
It is a tall building with five floors. Even in Heaven Dou City, it is a very high building. The first feeling of this building is elegance. The overall architectural style is slightly simple, and there are only two simple words on the plaque, Moon Pavilion.
Yes, this is Moon Pavilion!
The Moon Pavilion is a place where nobles/aristocrats learn courtship and etiquette.
It is one of the most distinguished places in the entire Heaven Dou Empire. Almost all nobles come to the Moon Pavilion to polish up their noble aura and being a graduate from the Moon Pavilion gives a higher status.
Of course, not just anyone can enter Moon Pavilion to study. This place is almost exclusive to nobles of Heaven Dou Empire.
As the Court Etiquette Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire, those who can enter the Moon Pavilion to study must have at least a noble status and not exceed 30 years old.
It recruits only 100 students every year.
Undoubtedly, this is the place to cultivate a new generation of nobles in the Heaven Dou Empire.
This, the evident importance to this place.
At the same time, this place also functions as information and resource gathering spot by Clear Sky School, after it was forced to seal itself by the Spirit Hall.
The reason why this is possible is because, the founder and master of Moon Pavilion is Tang Yuehua!
As a direct descendant of the previous clan leader of Clear Sky School, and also the younger sister of the current clan leader!
And of course, she is also the younger sister of the famed Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, the rat that was beaten to death by Rayne.
Since there is an unknown grudge of sibling killing, Rayne is definitely not here to pick up or flirt with Tang Yuehua, who is renowned as one of the most beautiful women in Heaven Dou City.
The reason why he is here is because...
"Rayne!"
A gentle and elegant female voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
Turning around, a beautiful blue haired woman in her late teens, dressed in an elegant black dress, appeared in his sight.
She was a stunningly beautiful woman with blue flowing hair and a pair of beautiful blue eyes. With elegant slender figure and bountiful curves, she was a very attractive woman.
Looking at the woman walking towards him with a slight smile on her face, Rayne also smiled in return.
As she reached him, without saying anything, she hugged him tightly and buried her face in his embrace.
Although a bit surprised, Rayne also responded, lightly putting his arms around her slender waist.
After a little more than a dozen seconds, the blue haired beautiful woman reluctantly left Rayne's arms.
Rayne looked at this beautiful woman with a bright smile on his handsome face.
"Sister! Are the classes over?"
Yes, this woman is Sylvia, Rayne's sister.
"Mn." Sylvia nodded lightly.
Yes, Rayne's sister, Sylvia is going to Moon Pavilion for etiquette classes.
It was neither of her own initiative, nor from Rayne and Shui Xin'er.
But rather from his grandparents, especially his grandfather. Shui Xin'er's parents, elderly veteran teachers at Sky Water Academy.
They are quite old and stubborn in their traditions, just like most nobles and sect-loyal people on the Douluo Continent.
To be a so-called qualified noble, the grandfather asked both Sylvia and Rayne to go to classes at Moon Pavilion.
Well, Rayne didn't agree to it. In fact, he didn't even pay attention to his so-called grandfather.
Rayne and even Shui Xin'er, doesn't have a good relationship with this old man.
As for the reason, it's practically because Shui Xin'er had insisted on giving birth to two children, whom she had become pregnant with for unknown reasons.
Since it wasn't from her, then husband-in-name Ordeas. This matter became a source of great shame to Shui Xin'er's father.
On the second occasion, when Rayne was about to be born, the old man had even tried to attack the pregnant Shui Xin'er in a fit of Rage.
Fortunately, it was stopped by Shui Xin'er's mother, who is actually the stronger one of the two grandparents. Typical of a female dominated family and academy.
And later on, the old man didn't have a good attitude towards Rayne and Sylvia.
So, the relationship with this old man is quite strained.
Only Sylvia maintains a basic filial peity to this old man. Shui Xin'er has a neutral stance, not too close, but not willing to sever the relationship.
As for Rayne, his attitude towards this old man is quite dismissive. He doesn't take this old guy seriously at all.
While Sylvia agreed to the old man, since she felt that it was a reasonable request.
Rayne directly refused, and ignored whatever reasons or conditions the old man threw at him.
As if he'd possibly waste time on something that is completely unnecessary to him.
Anyway, that is how he is here right now.
At this moment, Sylvia observed her brother who is getting more and more handsome by the day.
As she took a closer look at Rayne, she frowned.
Although he looked very handsome, his hair wasn't properly kept, and even the collar of his shirt was undone.
She reached out and started to fix his hairstyle, and unfolded collars.
Rayne looked at Sylvia with a smile and just allowed her to do whatever she wanted.
After Sylvia tidied up his shirt's collar and also his hair, she frowned and flicked his forehead with her slender finger, giving him a sense of being punished.
"Rayne, how many times do I have to tell you to keep yourself neat and tidy! Your appearance affects other's impression of you!" Sylvia said admonishingly.
"Well, sorry."
Rayne directly admitted his fault, with a smile. He knows by now that, arguing with his sister is a self damaging act.
In fact, it's not like he is usually untidy.
If anything, he had trained himself to maintain a certain discipline in all of his lives. So, he is a person who knows how to keep himself clean.
As for this instance, it's obviously on purpose.
He did it on purpose, anticipating Sylvia's reaction, and also seeking for a sense of deja vu from his very first life.
For the result, despite Sylvia's admonishment of him, he is still quite happy with the sense of deja vu he just felt.
Rayne really is quite happy at the moment, even grinning foolishly.
Seeing his stupid grin, Sylvia involuntarily smiled as well, then she lightly hit his head.
"Seriously, why do you keep behaving like this? You're not a child anymore."
"Isn't it fine? I'm only like this with you, sister! We're family, after all."
Rayne replied with a nonchalant smile.
He didn't think he was doing anything wrong. Why do you need to be polite, restrained and careful with your own family?
The way of siblings getting along is also often quite casual. They can argue with each other, care for each other, or even fight at times. But there will always be an unbreakable bond between them.
Although Rayne is quite nonchalant and casual with pretty much everyone he comes across. There is a different sense of closeness he feels with Sylvia, as well as Shui Xin'er.
Hearing Rayne's words, Sylvia's eyes gleamed with a different emotions, unknown what she was thinking.
Rayne looked up to the sky and saw that it was almost four in the afternoon.
"Sister, should I directly take you home, or you have somewhere you want to visit?" Rayne asked casually.
"..." Sylvia looked at Rayne expressionlessly, then slowly asked, "My dear brother, do you despise my presence so much?"
"Ehh? Sister, why do you think so? There's no way I'd ever despise you! Don't I always come to pick you up every day without fail?"
"Then where were you, before coming here?"
'Well, with Ah Yin?' But of course, Rayne wouldn't say that.
"At Ouroboros Tower, of course! Sister, you know that I'm the leader of that organization, and that I have so many responsibilities!" Rayne said seriously.
"Does your responsibility include flirting with women?"
Why did Sylvia suddenly ask something like that?
Because she caught a pretty heavy scent on her brother, that was different from the past.
It was the scent of a female! Her intuition told her so.
Although Rayne usually carries the scent of other women, since he seems to hang out with beautiful women more often, justifying his infamy as a playboy. But, the scent was never this clear.
Obviously, Rayne must have had a very intimate moment with a woman.
For some reason, the thought of this possibility, made Sylvia very upset.
"..." Rayne was stumped by Sylvia's question.
"Sister, why do you suddenly say something like this? I'm a serious leader of an organization!"
Rayne was a bit confused. For almost three years, he has been coming here to pick up his sister and taking her back to home.
Usually they'd either directly go home via his teleportation ability, or go to a restaurant for a meal, walk around the streets and go back home.
For Rayne, times like these are his leisure time. Especially spending time with his sister.
But for some reason, Sylvia seems to be a bit, not-so-normal today. She seems a bit agitated, and even a bit irritated.
And the source of it seems to be... him?
"Sister, did I do something to make you upset?" Rayne asked carefully.
"Don't you know what you did?"
"What did I do? Just tell me,sister. I'll do my best to make up for it." Rayne said in a helpless tone.
As Rayne was a bit helpless on how to deal with this situation, help seems to come from an unknown beauty.
"Student Sylvia, I thought you had already left."
An elegant and mature female voice came from behind them, causing them to turn around to look at the speaker.
What appeared in sight was a group of three people. Two women and one man.
The one leading the group was a beautiful woman with a noble and elegant temperament.
In Rayne's impression, there are very few women in this continent, that can match the temperament of this beautiful woman.
And he also knew who this woman was.
Tang Yuehua!
Upon seeing Rayne, her eyes brightened a bit, and she politely greeted him.
"How do you do, Young master Rayne."
Tang Yuehua said politely, while observing Rayne.
'This boy, as always, has that mysterious temperament that I'm unable to understand.' Tang Yuehua thought with a bit of amazement.
"Hello, Miss Yuehua." Rayne responded in return.
Since he has been coming to Moon Pavilion for three years, he has met Tang Yuehua quite a few times. So Rayne wasn't all that surprised by her presence here.
But one of the two people that came along with her did surprise him.
Of the two people, one was a young girl who seems to be in her early teens, with a cute and pretty overall appearance.
"Big brother Rayne~!"
Seeing Rayne, she had a shy expression, but still beamed a bright smile and called out coquettishly.
Rayne has also met this girl quite often, and is even quite familiar with her.
"Well, hello, Princess Xue Ke."
Rayne nodded with a slight smile.
This is Xue Ke, who is now ten years old. Two years younger than Rayne himself. Even so, she looked like a fourteen or fifteen year old girl.
She is the youngest child of the current Emperor of Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye.
She had started to go to Moon Pavilion, about a year after Sylvia started.
So, there is an acquaintance of about two years between him and Xue Ke.
Rayne's smile made her blush, which made her already pretty face even more attractive.
'She is as shy as ever.' Rayne shook his head with a smile.
Then, he turned to the only man among these people.
Although it is the first time meeting in this life, Rayne isn't a stranger to this man.
In fact, Rayne is all too familiar with him.
The man stepped forward and greeted with a pleasant and gentle smile.
"Pleased to meet you, Brother Rayne. I have heard a lot about you from my sister, and have been in awe."
