Chapter 89 Marquis, Fief Nouding City

Heaven Dou City, Imperial Palace!

In the grand and solemn great hall, an old man wearing a golden-red robe, a golden diamond crown on his head, and a face like an ancient moon sat on a gilded throne.

This old man was the most noble person in the Heaven Dou Empire on the surface.

Emperor Xue Ye!

When he saw Ning Fengzhi walking into the great hall with Qian Renxue, as well as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo following behind Ning Fengzhi, Emperor Xue Ye's expression changed slightly.

He knew that Ning Fengzhi had come to question him.

As for the reason, he was also very clear.

The message from Meng Shenji described it clearly.

At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye's heart, which was originally aching because his fourth son, Xue Beng, was killed by a meteorite, suddenly felt no pain anymore.

This rebellious son deserved to die.

If because of him, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Tiandou Royal Family became estranged, then even dying a hundred times would not be enough.

"Your son greets Father Emperor."

"Fengzhi greets Your Majesty!"

Xue Qinghe, disguised as Qian Renxue, was respectful, and Ning Fengzhi also didn't show any disrespect.

However, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo behind Ning Fengzhi were not so easy to talk to.

One of them folded his arms across his chest, while the other snorted coldly, clearly having no intention of showing respect to Emperor Xue Ye.

And before, although they were also aloof, they at least knew to cup their hands in greeting.

Seeing their appearance, Emperor Xue Ye felt awkward, and at the same time, he couldn't help but curse Xue Beng in his heart.

"This rebellious son, not only is he useless and causes trouble, but even after death, he still adds trouble for me."

As for Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, it was naturally impossible for Emperor Xue Ye to fall out with them over such a small matter where he was in the wrong.

However, if he didn't show any reaction at all, then where would his imperial dignity be?

Fortunately, at this moment, Ning Fengzhi suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone do not mean to disrespect Your Majesty, but they have doted on my daughter since they were young, and today they suddenly learned that Prince Xue Beng actually tried to do something improper to my daughter, which is why they are angry and have nowhere to vent."

These words gave Emperor Xue Ye a way out.

At the same time, it was also implicitly stating.

These two Title Douluo behind me are currently angry and have nowhere to vent, so I hope Your Majesty is sensible and helps the two elders calm down.

Emperor Xue Ye had been emperor for decades, so he naturally understood Ning Fengzhi's hidden meaning.

However, Xue Beng was his son after all, although he was a bit foolish, he was already dead.

So Emperor Xue Ye instinctively hoped that this incident would stop here.

But he didn't speak directly, instead looking at Qian Renxue, his eyes slightly widened.

"Crown Prince, what do you think about the matter of Xue Beng?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, respectfully bowed to Emperor Xue Ye, and then said in a deep voice: "Father Emperor, your son believes that fourth brother's words and actions were improper and audacious, not only disgracing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but also humiliating the dignity of our Heaven Dou Empire Royal Family."

"Although fourth brother has already died in the heavenly punishment, his guilt is hard to absolve."

"However, your son also believes that the reason fourth brother reached this point is because there must be a treacherous person instigating him behind the scenes, and they must be caught and brought to justice."

As for who the treacherous people were, that was up to Qian Renxue to decide.

Beside Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi remained silent, with a faint smile on his face.

Although he didn't express his stance, at this time, not expressing his stance was the best stance.

Clearly, he also supported "Xue Qinghe's" statement.

It was precisely because of this that Emperor Xue Ye suppressed the idea of minimizing the matter, and only said with a frown.

"Crown Prince, are you making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Qian Renxue shook her head and said: "Father Emperor, your son is doing this not only to appease Teacher, but also for a particularly important reason."

"What reason?" Emperor Xue Ye asked curiously.

Qian Renxue asked: "Does Father Emperor know what else fourth brother did besides insulting Teacher's daughter?"

Emperor Xue Ye said: "I know about this. The message from Education Committee Meng Shenji seemed to say that he also provoked a talented Teacher."

"Could that talented Teacher also have some special identity?"

Emperor Xue Ye had been unwell in recent years and gradually lived in seclusion, not managing state affairs.

Except for major events like today, where Meng Shenji directly sent someone to inform him.

He had not yet read the memorial regarding Qi Lin's information that was submitted yesterday, so he naturally would not know about a person named Qi Lin.

Qian Renxue shook her head and said: "That talented Teacher is named Qi Lin, he is an unparalleled genius Soul Master, only thirteen years old, and his soul power has already reached level fifty-eight Soul King."

Before Qian Renxue could finish speaking, Emperor Xue Ye had already let out an exclamation, his face full of disbelief.

"What!"

"A thirteen-year-old level fifty-eight Soul King!"

"How is this possible, how can there be such a genius in the world?"

Looking at Emperor Xue Ye's shocked expression, Qian Renxue shook her head and said: "Father Emperor, although it is hard to believe, this is the truth."

"With Qi Lin's talent, no one on the continent today can match him, yet fourth brother threatened to break his legs."

"Even, if a meteorite hadn't suddenly fallen from the sky, fourth brother would have probably ordered people to attack."

"In such a situation, if we don't give this Teacher Qi Lin an explanation, I'm afraid it will make him feel disheartened!"

Although Emperor Xue Ye had gradually become muddle-headed in recent years, he was not stupid.

He still knew how high the value of a thirteen-year-old level fifty-eight was.

Thinking of how this fool Xue Beng actually provoked such a genius, Emperor Xue Ye wished he could pull Xue Beng out of hell, slap him hard a few times, and then stuff him back into hell.

After a moment, Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath and looked at Qian Renxue.

"Crown Prince, what do you say we should do to make this talented Teacher let go of his grudge against our Tiandou Royal Family?"

Qian Renxue's lips curved up, and then she said in a deep voice: "There were a total of nine people who went to trouble Teacher Qi Lin with Xue Beng today."

"In your son's opinion, to make Teacher Qi Lin calm down, it is best to start with these nine people."

"Although these nine people are already dead, they still have relatives and families behind them."

"We can deal with them based on their previous records, killing those who should be killed, stripping titles from those who should be stripped, and dismissing those who should be dismissed."

"In addition, your son suggests bestowing a noble title upon Teacher Qi Lin as compensation, which can also deepen the bond between him and our Heaven Dou Empire."

"Of course, the level of this noble title must not be low."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye nodded in agreement.

"That makes sense, let's do as you say."

"As for the noble title to be bestowed upon Qi Lin, what level of noble title do you think is appropriate?"

Emperor Xue Ye asked.

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Father Emperor, what do you think of the position of Marquis?"

Emperor Xue Ye hesitated and said: "Wouldn't that be a bit high?"

Qian Renxue said: "If it weren't for the concern of having nothing to bestow in the future, your son even thinks he could be directly enfeoffed as a Duke."

Emperor Xue Ye's mouth twitched slightly.

"Then let's go with Marquis, Marquis is also quite good."

Qian Renxue suddenly added at this point: "I heard that Teacher Qi Lin was born in Nouding City on the border of the empire, which must have a special meaning to him. Father Emperor can designate Nouding City as his fief."

Emperor Xue Ye heard this.

Nouding City?

Just an insignificant small city.

So he waved his hand.

Granted!
