Chapter 12: An Unexpected Young Master's Identity and Breaking Through to Soul Lord Level 31

Chapter 12: Accidentally Inheriting the Young Master's Identity, Breaking Through to Soul Master Level 31!

Following Tang Yuehua, Xu Yan arrived at an extraordinarily luxurious loft. The furnishings inside were immaculate, even gleaming.

This made Xu Yan think to himself, this truly is the residence of noble offspring—exquisitely opulent.

It surpassed even a grand villa in grandeur.

“This is where you’ll be staying for now. Make this your home,” Tang Yuehua said hastily.

Xu Yan felt that Tang Yuehua was incredibly kind.

He was moved to tears.

He was almost crying.

Tang Yuehua noticed the sparkle in Xu Yan’s eyes and smiled gently. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I just miss my family a bit,” Xu Yan replied. In this world, he had no relatives; he was an orphan.

At that moment, he felt a sense of coming home.

“Foolish child, why are you crying again?” Tang Yuehua took out her handkerchief and gently wiped his tears.

Xu Yan truly was crying—not just out of emotion, but from overwhelming excitement.

After all, the treatment he endured at the Martial Soul Hall was like living in hell.

Thankfully, Hu Liena had somewhat protected him. As Hu Liena’s enforcer and bodyguard, surviving until now was nothing short of a miracle.

He had suffered endless torment.

Otherwise, why would he have beaten Yan so brutally?

If Yan were not Hu Liena’s comrade, Xu Yan would have beaten him to death in the Starry Forest.

The handkerchief was Tang Yuehua’s personal belonging, warm to the touch and faintly fragrant.

“From now on, this is your home. Treat it as your own,” Tang Yuehua said softly, reaching out to stroke Xu Yan’s head and hair.

Looking into her exquisite face nearby, Xu Yan nodded. “I understand.”

Tang Yuehua guided him to sit in a chair.

Xu Yan felt no sense of defense; everything seemed so natural and effortless.

She asked gently, “Xu Yan, do you have any family left?”

“No, I’m an orphan. I just escaped from the Martial Soul Hall. The people there were hateful, and I was often bullied,” Xu Yan said, gripping Tang Yuehua’s cool, soft jade-like hand tightly. “Auntie, I had no family before, but from now on, you will be the closest person to me in this world.”

Tang Yuehua hadn’t expected the boy before her to say such words. Her heart swelled with joy. She placed her other hand over his and patted it gently. “Alright, from now on, consider me your family. Yuexuan is your home.”

In truth, she had not anticipated feeling so unguarded toward Xu Yan; he gave off an aura of closeness.

Watching Xu Yan shed tears, Tang Yuehua felt her heart breaking.

This inexplicable feeling left her bewildered.

But seeing the sincerity in his eyes and how tightly he grasped her hand, it was clear this child truly longed for family.

Seeing Tang Yuehua’s gentle smile, Xu Yan returned it with a shy grin. “Auntie, I’m sorry for being so rude. I just feel a deep sense of warmth when I see you and can’t help but want to be close.”

Tang Yuehua smiled and shook her head softly. “It’s alright. I feel the same. Now, don’t dwell on it anymore. Rest well here, change into fresh clothes. Since you are the young master of Yuexuan, you must uphold the dignity of the Royal Court Etiquette Academy.”

Tang Yuehua was about to leave but was stopped when Xu Yan held her hand.

“Alright, wait patiently. I will have my attendants bring you clothes and essentials,” she said warmly, surprised by how clingy the boy was.

Only then did Xu Yan release her hand.

After Tang Yuehua left, Xu Yan lay down on the sofa, unable to suppress a beaming smile.

From this moment on, he was destined to ascend to the pinnacle of life.

He hadn’t expected Tang Yuehua to be so kind—beautiful, gentle, and warm-hearted. Wasn’t such a woman worth protecting for a lifetime?

Now, he was the young master of Yuexuan.

This young master identity was an unexpected windfall.

But relying on his own musical talent, this title was well deserved.

If anyone doubted, he was ready for a piano duel!

Soon, several lovely maids brought him spotless garments—the finest, most luxurious clothes of the etiquette academy.

They addressed him as “Young Master.”

Xu Yan felt as though he was floating on air.

“Please, Young Master, bathe and change!”

He was then led to a steaming bathhouse.

As they helped him remove his clothes, leaving only his undergarments, Xu Yan noticed that these beautiful maids showed no embarrassment.

He thought perhaps they were fond of women, so he decided to send them away and handle the rest himself.

He vowed to remain pure, reserving his first time for the goddess in his heart.

Whether it was Hu Liena or Qian Renxue.

At present, Hu Liena was his ideal.

Tang Yuehua and Bibi Dong were also difficult for him to choose between.

Leaning in the bath, he felt troubled.

After bathing and dressing in the new clothes, the maids looked at Xu Yan with wide, admiring eyes.

His handsome appearance seemed to astonish them.

Clothes make the man, and this saying proved true.

Wearing these garments, his entire aura elevated markedly.

He now bore the air of a noble heir.

At dinner that evening, Xu Yan was seated directly opposite Tang Yuehua.

The meal was what noble children dined on, accompanied by red wine.

“Hmm, Xu Yan, that outfit suits you well,” Tang Yuehua said with a smile, clearly impressed.

“Thank you, Auntie,” Xu Yan returned her smile. “It all feels like a dream. Could you pinch me?”

“Hehe, foolish child, it’s real,” Tang Yuehua chuckled softly. “Alright, eat up. You’ll have to rise early tomorrow. Those noble kids can be quite troublesome.”

Xu Yan nodded and began eating.

At the Martial Soul Hall, he had never dined at such a table.

No matter how kind Hu Liena was to him, their relationship was master and servant, and he had no right to join such meals.

Seeing Xu Yan eat happily, Tang Yuehua’s mood brightened.

After dinner, bidding Tang Yuehua farewell, Xu Yan returned to his room.

He immediately began consuming Soul Element Fruit, entering a cultivation state.

He was already at level thirty and needed to break through to Soul Master level thirty-one quickly.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, upon opening his eyes, Xu Yan discovered he had successfully advanced to Soul Master.

This breakthrough likely shattered a bottleneck in his soul power, though he only rose one level.

Someone outside called for him to get up immediately.

After a quick wash, he followed the beautiful maidens to the grand hall of Yuexuan.

Tang Yuehua was already waiting there.
