I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing who had already left, Ma Hongjun thought angrily, "You bitch, if you weren't so pretty and had such a curvaceous figure, how could I possibly be with you?"

"If you had agreed earlier, I might have treated you with some courtesy. But now, once I reach the Title Douluo level, I will definitely humiliate you in every way possible to avenge your repeated rejections!"

.........

Zhu Zhuqing returned to the carriage and told Lin Yuan and Ye Lingling everything that had happened, including what happened to Ma Hongjun.

Lin Yuan picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said with a hint of disdain, "What qualifications does that shorty have to be Zhu Qing's man?"

"Yeah, that fat guy is short and smelly, and he even has body odor. How could he possibly be with Zhu Qing?"

Ye Lingling was also annoyed and decided to find an opportunity to teach this guy a lesson and make him understand what the price of offending their Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was.

Zhu Zhuqing gently took Lin Yuan's arm, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and said softly, "Teacher... could you accompany me back to the Star Luo Empire if you have time?"

"Hmm?" Lin Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you homesick?"

Zhu Zhuqing replied, "What I worry about most is my third sister. I want to bring her here and find her a marriage in the Heaven Dou Empire so she won't have to stay in the heartless Zhu family."

Of all the members of the Zhu family, the one she was most worried about was her third sister. Therefore, she wanted to return to the Zhu family and bring her third sister to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Then we'll find a marriage for Third Sister, so we won't have to worry about her being treated coldly by those guys.

Lin Yuan put down his teacup and said softly, "Since ancient times, the imperial family has been ruthless. Even the Soul Master world is the same. If it weren't for power, it wouldn't have become like this."

"After we get back, I will personally take you to the Star Luo Empire, don't worry."

Lin Yuan patted Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulder and comforted her, saying, "Similarly, I will also help you resolve the matter of the engagement."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded obediently, nestled in Lin Yuan's arms, seemingly enjoying being by her teacher's side, as only in this way could she feel an unprecedented sense of security.

Lin Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing beneath him. Due to the angle, he could clearly see Zhu Zhuqing's true appearance.

However, as a teacher, Lin Yuan did not watch any longer. Instead, he turned around and closed his eyes to rest.

…………

Over the next few days, there was no danger on the way back to the Heaven Dou Empire. Outside the gates of Heaven Dou City, Emperor Xue Ye, the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, had been waiting for a long time.

Emperor Xueye, accompanied by his civil and military officials, personally welcomed the meritorious officials of the Heavenly Dou Empire, who were also the disciples of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

As the carriage slowly approached, Emperor Xueye personally greeted it and bowed to the carriage where Lin Yuan was.

The emperor himself personally greeted Lin Yuan's carriage and bowed respectfully. It's estimated that no one in the entire Douluo Continent throughout history has ever done such a thing.

As the carriage came to a stop, Lin Yuan and his two disciples stepped down, helped Emperor Xue Ye to his feet, and said softly, "Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities."

Emperor Xueye took Lin Yuan's hand and said with a smile, "Today is an important day for our Heaven Dou Empire. Our Heaven Dou Royal Academy, representing the Empire, has successfully won the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament." "I hereby declare that the entire nation shall celebrate for three days to welcome His Majesty Lin Yuan!"

As soon as the words were spoken, all the civil and military officials around knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise! Welcome the champion back in triumph!"

The orderly roar startled the white doves on the city wall, which fluttered and flew towards the clouds.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly and offered a gesture of support to the crowd, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar purple figure flashing through the crowd. It was Ning Rongrong, who was standing on tiptoe and looking around, waving to Ye Lingling.

"Your Majesty Lin Yuan, this victory is truly a stroke of good fortune!" The Minister of Rites stepped forward, holding a gold-inlaid scroll. "His Majesty has ordered a banquet to be held in the palace to welcome you all."

Emperor Xueye raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up, and personally led Lin Yuan towards the palace. Along the way, the people cheered, and the scattered flower petals formed a red carpet around the carriage.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling walked side by side, looking at the brocade banners hanging on both sides of the street. The former said in a low voice, "I didn't expect His Majesty to attach so much importance to this."

Ye Lingling winked playfully and took her arm: "Of course, who told us to have a teacher that even the Pope fears!" As she spoke, she suddenly pointed to the street corner, "Look! Aren't those people from Shrek Academy?"

Not far away, Dai Mubai and his group mingled in the crowd, their faces ashen. Ma Hongjun stared at Zhu Zhuqing's back, his nails almost digging into his palms, but Oscar held him down firmly.

"Don't be impulsive! This is Heaven Dou City!"

Dai Mubai snorted coldly, turned and left, his clothes sweeping away the candied hawthorns on the vendor's stall, which shattered into bright red pieces on the ground.

Inside the palace, the glass lamps illuminated the imperial garden as bright as day. On a snowy night, the emperor raised his cup, and the jewels on his golden crown reflected a dazzling light with his movement.

"Today, I raise a toast to His Majesty Lin Yuan! May the Heavenly Dou Empire, under His Majesty's protection, forever remain strong and prosperous!"

The assembled courtiers rose to their feet, and amidst the clinking of cups, Lin Yuan sipped his wine. His gaze inadvertently swept across the shadows, where several faint auras were hidden, clearly belonging to Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall.

Halfway through the banquet, Emperor Xueye suddenly clapped his hands, and eight palace maids filed in carrying a golden sandalwood tray. They lifted the red silk, revealing extremely precious soul tools inside.

"This is a royal treasure, a gift to the champion team. May you all continue to fight for glory. The empire is proud of you!"

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. Although these soul tools were all storage-type, they were still priceless. It seemed that Emperor Xue Ye had gone to great lengths to win him over.

Emperor Xueye stood up, put one hand behind his back, and announced: "I hereby declare that all members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team shall be promoted to the rank of Viscount, and the captain and vice-captain shall be promoted to the rank of Earl. They shall be assigned fiefs in the future."

"The academy enjoys a royal title and receives financial support from the empire! It will be recorded in the annals of the Heavenly Dou Empire, passed down for thousands of years! And it will be available for all the people of Heavenly Dou to study!"

"At the same time, I hereby bestow upon His Majesty Lin Yuan the title of Imperial Tutor and the title of the strongest duke in the empire, equal to that of me. In the future, when you see Imperial Tutor Lin Che, you must treat him with the utmost respect."

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar, as no one had expected His Majesty to bestow upon Lin Yuan the title of Imperial Tutor.
