"Brother Hua may not care, but you can't put your foolish brother in a difficult position, can you?"
"Hmm?" Ye Hua looked behind Liu Erlong. "Brother Xue has come in person?"
Qian Renxue, wearing the [Xue Qinghe] skin, remained unfazed.
"You're number one, and we're just waiting for you."
"Father Emperor thinks you and the Emperor are incompatible, so you have requested to leave!"
"Alright," Ye Hua said, both amused and exasperated, "Brother Xue must be given face!"
Ye Hua abandoned his idea of getting intimate with Xiao Wu and followed behind Qian Renxue.
The awards ceremony was held in the center of the stadium, surrounded by a large audience of spectators.
The Emperor of Snowy Night personally read out the list of those who advanced.
"The following teams have advanced from the Heaven Dou City division of this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament—"
"Long Night Team, Kamikaze Team, Thunder Team, Blazing Fire Team, Heavenly Water Team!"
When the fifth name was called, thunderous applause erupted, and no one dared to disagree!
However, Emperor Xueye paused for a moment, then added, "And, the Shrek Seven Devils."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and then a commotion broke out.
"Shrek Team? Didn't they lose several games in a row?"
"Exactly! The points aren't even enough to qualify, so why should we go in?"
"A cover-up! A blatant cover-up!"
Protests erupted one after another, and the team leaders and athletes from various colleges all looked displeased.
I don't know who suddenly said it—
"The Shrek team advanced using a special spot recommended by the Spirit Hall!"
"In other words, even if your grades don't meet the requirements, you can still easily advance!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said it; the moment he did, the whole room exploded.
"Special recommendation from the Spirit Hall? On what basis?"
"I heard that Bishop Salas personally opened the back door!"
"Tsk tsk, giving this kind of scum a back door, does he have glaucoma or cataracts?"
The discussions continued unabated, and Salas's face turned bright red.
Such matters cannot be discussed openly; everyone is a respectable person and cares about their reputation!
That damned Yu Xiaogang actually dared to rely on the Pope's backing to make me take the lightning for him!
Tang San also heard the mockery, but he didn't know whether to accept it or not.
So what if you get in through connections?
Even getting in through the back door requires connections!
My master is Yu Xiaogang!
Theoretical master, friend of the Pope, elder of the Spirit Hall!
Salas didn't dare utter a sound in his presence!
I'm not one of you. You guys don't even have the right to be jealous of me getting in through connections.
Emperor Xueye smiled. He was happy to humiliate the Spirit Hall; no ruler would tolerate such a threat.
"The teams that will advance to the next round of the competition have been determined, and any controversies can be left until after the competition."
"Now, let's award the bonuses!"
A servant brought out a tray, the gold notes gleaming brightly.
"Five teams, each worth 10,000 gold soul coins."
"Captain and Vice-Captain, please come up to the stage to receive your awards!"
Feng Xiaotian accepted the gold note and nodded to Ye Hua.
Huo Wushuang also took it and handed it to his younger sister for safekeeping.
"Furthermore," Emperor Xueye continued, "all members of the promoted teams will be granted the title of Baron, and the captain and vice-captain will be granted the title of Viscount."
As soon as the words were spoken, the teams that hadn't advanced immediately cast envious glances at them.
That's a noble title!
Baronship is alright; it only grants honors, not land.
But the Viscount has a small fiefdom!
The taxes alone are enough to ensure a comfortable life!
The Snow Emperor looked at Ye Hua with a meaningful gaze.
As for Ye Hua—
"Assist the Crown Prince in solving the rape and murder case,"
"They contributed significantly to the order of the competition,"
"He shall be granted the title of Earl, with his fiefdom to be chosen by himself!"
Ouch!
The envious gazes turned into a tidal wave of exclamations.
If a viscount's territory is only the size of a deck of cards, then an earl's territory is comparable to an exam paper.
Moreover, he can choose his own fiefdom. If Ye Hua is thick-skinned and demands Heaven Dou City as his fiefdom...
hiss--
Only Salas remained expressionless throughout the entire arena. This was a battle between the Spirit Hall and the Snow Night organization to recruit talent!
He so desperately wanted Ye Hua to be naive and impatient to accept the offer, so he would choose wealthy lands as his fiefdom.
To his surprise, Ye Hua remained calm and simply bowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
There was no excitement, nor any sense of being flattered.
Emperor Xueye was somewhat bewildered!
This still didn't move him?
Little did he know that, including the Ice and Fire Dragon King and Zi Ji, Ye Hua had ten Title Douluo-level fighters under his command, including one Limit Douluo!
manor?
Ye Hua truly doesn't care.
On the contrary, I find it troublesome!
He couldn't find a suitable person to manage the Soul Guidance Industry, so he simply handed it over to his good father-in-law. But could he hand over the fiefdom to someone else to manage?
"Forget it, let's look for someone else later!"
"Just consider it a great place for a farming vacation!"
Seeing Ye Hua remain calm and composed, the Great Emperor sighed inwardly.
It's really hard to win him over; I can only pin my hopes on Xue Ke!
But just as the awards ceremony was over and the crowd dispersed, Qian Renxue suddenly pulled him aside.
"Ye Hua..." Qian Renxue hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Chapter 154 Charging Xiao Wu and Wang Qiu'er
Qian Renxue's voice was very low, and her eyes were scanning her surroundings warily.
"Brother Xue," Ye Hua raised an eyebrow, "speak plainly?"
Qian Renxue spoke very quickly, "Be careful these next two days!"
"Be especially wary of Salas, and do not act alone!"
Ye Hua didn't react immediately, "Brother Xue, please explain yourself..."
"If it's convenient, I'll come over for tea. Take care!"
Qian Renxue interrupted her abruptly, turned and left with steady steps, revealing nothing of her true intentions.
Ye Hua stood still and blinked.
What does this mute riddle mean?
Salas is going to get him? Isn't it obvious? Why would he need a special reminder?
Or does Qian Renxue know the inside story, and Salas has a new method?
In any case, Qian Renxue wouldn't make a fuss without a reason!
"Tie Xiong".
"Lord!"
"Strengthen security, especially at villas and production lines."
"As ordered!"
Ye Hua took one last look at Qian Renxue's back before turning and walking towards the villa.
With Tie Xiong, an Ultimate Douluo, and the other experts from the Long Night Alliance providing defense, the situation was dire.
Even if a Spirit Hall elder personally came to his door, he wouldn't be afraid!
This is the true value of the Ultimate Douluo!
By the time we returned to the villa, it was completely dark.
Because Qian Renxue interrupted him, he returned a little later than the girls.
But in less than half an hour, a dramatic change occurred at the villa!
Ye Hua pushed open the door, and the living room was empty except for Xiao Wu and Wang Qiu'er.
"Where is he?" Ye Hua asked, a question mark appearing above his head.
"Rongrong picked me up," Xiao Wu said resentfully, "saying we're going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to discuss the tactical arrangements for the advancement tournament."
Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "As the vice-captain, why aren't you going?"
"Uh..." Xiao Wu said with a sullen smile, "She won't let us go!"
"Well, didn't you tell us... to stay and keep you company?"
"Oh~~" Ye Hua said with a half-smile, "I understand."
"Rongrong specifically left you behind to withstand the firepower, so that she wouldn't get hurt!"
Xiao Wu's face flushed red.
Wang Qiu'er also subconsciously moved back a bit.
But Ye Hua wouldn't let them escape. He grabbed them both by the arms and lifted them off the sofa.
Xiao Wu's feet left the ground, and she hurriedly hugged Ye Hua's neck, "Brother! Put me down!"
"Trying to run away?" Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "Do you think it's possible?"
The bedroom door was kicked open, and Ye Hua placed the two of them on the bed.
Xiao Wu swallowed hard. "Brother, how about... we go take a shower first?"
Wang Qiu'er was shocked and quickly poked Xiao Wu.
Have you forgotten that this guy is also quite skilled in the bathroom?
But Ye Hua just smiled and said, "Okay!"
