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

Chapter 47 A soul master who doesn’t cause trouble is not a good soul master?

"Emperor Xueye's birthday?"

Lin Yuan turned around and sat in his chair, raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup on the table, and said calmly: "So we must give some gifts."

"I think gifts are totally unnecessary."

Shang Que smiled and said, "Master, you are the youngest Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent. Inviting you to participate is already a great honor for Emperor Xue Ye, not to mention offering him a gift."

"That being said, he is the current emperor of the empire after all. Even if he goes empty-handed, no one will say anything. But whether we send him off or not is our business, and whether they say anything or not is their business."

Shangque raised an eyebrow, "Then I wonder what the master would like to give as a gift this time? Considering the financial resources of the Tiandou Empire, I'm afraid that Golden Soul Coins are not enough."

Lin Yuan thought about it, and then took out a special emerald green ancient jade from the soul guide. The texture of this ancient jade was like a quiet deep pool, with emerald green flowing in it, emitting a soft and charming halo.

The dragon sculpture is remarkably agile, with distinct dragon whiskers winding down along its sharp jaws, and scales stacked one upon another. The delicate carving technique makes each scale as thin as a cicada's wing yet with clear textures.

The phoenix shape, in contrast, is elegant and agile.

The phoenix crown stands tall and is made up of intricate and exquisite feathers. Each feather is carved with great care, and the curved arcs and delicate textures show its luxury.

The texture of the carving is so delicate that you can almost see it swaying in the wind. The soft lines and flexible shapes add a touch of gentleness to this ancient jade artifact.

Seeing this, Shang Que couldn't help but cast a surprised look: "This is the ancient dragon and phoenix jade. Master, are you sure you want to give such a precious thing to Emperor Xue Ye? It's simply a waste of natural resources."

"It's just a piece of ancient jade, not a very precious thing. Besides, I have become a Titled Douluo, so the use of ancient jade is not very big."

Lin Yuan replied indifferently.

He had snatched this ancient jade from a Titled Douluo many years ago. Anyone who wore it would not only live longer but also be immune to all diseases. It was an unimaginable treasure in the entire Douluo Continent.

However, for Lin Yuan, who has already reached the Titled Douluo realm, this ancient jade is nothing but chicken ribs. It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw it away. So he might as well go with the flow and give it to Emperor Xue Ye as a birthday gift.

Seeing that the master decided to give the ancient dragon and phoenix jade to Emperor Xue Ye, Shangque didn't say anything else. However, he still admired the master's move. He was afraid that there were not many people in the entire Douluo Continent who could be so generous.

"Teacher, is this ancient jade really precious?"

At this time, Ye Lingling picked up the ancient jade from Lin Yuan's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked about the value of this ancient jade with a puzzled look on her face.

"For an ordinary spirit master, the value of this ancient jade is definitely not less than that of a ten thousand year spirit bone. However, for a Titled Douluo, this dragon and phoenix ancient jade is useless. If you like it, I will make one for you personally someday."

"Really?"

Ye Lingling's eyes lit up, and she excitedly threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms, saying happily, "Thank you, teacher. You are so kind to me."

"I, Lin Yuan, have no disciples in this life. You are my only direct disciple. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

Lin Yuan ruffled Ye Lingling's short white hair, then smiled gently and said, "You should go back and rest first. On Emperor Xue Ye's birthday, you can come with me to the empire. I'll be introducing you to some powerful people."

"Thank you teacher."

Ye Lingling happily returned to her room to continue practicing, but she was extremely excited in her heart. It was obvious that she regarded Lin Yuan as the most important person in her life.

Canglong Shangque personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Yuan and asked calmly, "Master, are you too kind to Emperor Xue Ye? Even at the level of Soul King, he is as fragile as an ant in front of us, but why do you..."

"Those who achieve great things don't pay attention to trivial matters." Lin Yuan took a sip of tea and said with a half-smile, "Shangqie, remember, what I'm doing today is entirely to pave the way for what's to come. Then you'll know what I want to do."

Looking at his master's confident look, Canglong Shangque was also full of doubt. He was a dragon who didn't like to use his brain by nature, and he didn't know what his master was trying to do. However, it was not difficult to tell from his master's expression that he was planning something extremely important.

Lin Yuan picked up a chess piece and placed it on the board, a smile forming on his lips. "Life is like a chess game, and people are like chess pieces. Now that the game has begun, all parties are vying to join the battle."

Shangque looked at the chess pieces on the board, still a little confused as to why the master would say such a thing. It was indeed unbelievable.

Lin Yuan took a sip of tea, supported his chin with one hand, and stared at the position of the chessboard intently. It seemed that every move made by Douluo Continent was on his chessboard, and there had never been any difference.

.....................

In the next few days, Lin Yuan rested in the academy, and most of the children's training was left to Shangke, who only needed to follow the daily training time.

At the same time, Lin Yuan guaranteed that they would be able to raise their soul power to a level no less than that of a Soul King during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition.

Today is the birthday of Emperor Xueye. In order to show his status, the former invited powerful men above the Soul Saint level in the empire to come to the appointment.

Lin Yuan is a true Titled Douluo, so naturally he was also invited.

Inside the magnificent palace hall, countless nobles in gorgeous robes were getting to know each other, chatting and laughing, looking very happy.

Sitting in the center is a gray-haired old man.

The old man was wearing a golden-red robe and a golden crown with diamonds on his head. His face was like the ancient moon. He looked slightly older than Prince Snow Star, and there were some similarities between his eyebrows.

The difference is that this person's magnanimity is far beyond that of Prince Snow Star. Although he looks a bit old, sitting there gives people a sense of origin.

This person is none other than the Emperor of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xueye!
"Xue Qinghe", wearing a gorgeous robe, had been waiting outside the door for a long time, holding a glass of sake. When he saw Ning Fengzhi coming in, he smiled and said, "Qinghe greets the teacher."

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi also nodded and smiled, helped Xue Qinghe up, and said: "Qinghe, I have told you so many times, there is no need for this."

"Teacher, you're welcome. How can Qinghe accept your great gift? If word spreads, my father will be unhappy again."

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, then chatted briefly with "Xue Qinghe" and walked towards the position of Emperor Xue Ye with Jian Douluo.

"Xue Qinghe" continued to wait here until he saw the familiar figure, and then a smile appeared on his calm face.

He walked forward slowly, handed over the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Senior Lin Yuan, I thought you were not coming."

Lin Yuan smiled brightly, took the wine glass and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally come to invite me, wouldn't it be a loss of face for you if I don't come?"

"Xue Qinghe" looked at Ye Lingling beside Lin Yuan. He seemed to know something and made a gesture of invitation.

Inside the magnificent palace, many nobles were chatting with Ning Fengzhi. After all, Ning Fengzhi was the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. To have a good relationship with him would definitely be beneficial for these nobles.

Ning Fengzhi naturally accepted everyone who came. As long as they were nobles or soul masters with decent talent, they could talk to him.

"Teacher Lin Yuan, you are here."

At this time, Ye Lingling's mother, Ye Yao, came over with a wine glass. She was also a noble, so she was naturally invited to come to the palace to attend Emperor Xue Ye's birthday celebration.

Today, Ye Yao changed into an extremely gorgeous outfit, and with her curvy figure and appearance, she was definitely one of the few beauties in the hall.

As the saying goes, a woman whose toes are so visible when she looks down is the most beautiful woman in the world. This saying absolutely fits Ye Yao perfectly.

"Mother~"

Ye Lingling came to Ye Yao's side, gently took her arm, and said softly, "Mother, you came so early today."

Ye Yao stretched out her finger and scratched Ye Lingling's nose, smiling and said, "After all, it is His Majesty's birthday, and the nobles have already arrived long ago. If I don't come earlier, wouldn't I be trying to save Emperor Xue Ye's face?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Ye Lingling and her daughter, then walked towards Emperor Xue Ye. Emperor Xue Ye also noticed Lin Yuan. Normally, he would just sit in a chair when someone came to pay their birthday greetings, but this time was different. When he saw His Majesty Lin Yuan, Emperor Xue Ye actually stood up from his chair and walked quickly towards Lin Yuan.

"Your Majesty Lin Yuan, you are here."

"I have met His Majesty."

Lin Yuan nodded towards Emperor Xue Ye and said with a bow.

Although he did not bow in salute, being able to call him your majesty already gave Emperor Xue Ye a lot of face. If it were another titled Douluo, he probably wouldn't even think of opening his mouth.

Emperor Xue Ye also nodded with satisfaction, stood up in person, and made a gesture of invitation, which was enough to show how much he loved talents.

His Majesty Lin Yuan is only twenty years old, but he has already reached the rare level of Titled Douluo at level ninety-five in the world, and even possesses a hundred thousand year spirit ring. Such a gifted genius, and also a free spirit master, is naturally what Emperor Xue Ye wants to recruit into the Tiandou Empire.

If you can join the Tiandou Empire, you can naturally help the empire expand its territory and become the overlord of one side.

"Your Majesty Lin Yuan, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."

Emperor Xue Ye personally invited Lin Yuan to sit next to him, which also caused many high-ranking officials and nobles in the scene to look at him in confusion. They all wondered who this guy was and how he could be invited by His Majesty personally to sit down.

Even Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, only exchanged a few simple greetings, which was enough to show that in the heart of Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi was not as high as Senior Lin Yuan.

Maybe it has a lot to do with age.

The two titled Douluo of the Qibao Glazed Sect are already over seventy years old. Even if they do not die in battle, they will eventually become immortals and ascend due to their sixty years.

His Majesty Lin Yuan has achieved such success at such a young age, so naturally he is loved by the strong.

Lin Yuan took out a gift he had prepared in advance from his soul guide and handed it over: "Your Majesty, this is called the Ancient Dragon and Phoenix Jade. The wearer can be immune to all poisons and live longer."

Emperor Xue Ye was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Hahaha, thank you very much, Your Majesty Lin Yuan. You are welcome to come. What gifts did you bring? Please take a seat."

"Thank you."

Lin Yuan sat down on the chair without any hesitation, picked up the wine glass on the table, and started drinking elegantly and casually.

Xue Qinghe pursed his lips, glanced at his teacher, and came to his seat to sit down.

"Thank you all for participating in the birthday celebration. I, Emperor Xueye, am here to formally announce something extremely important."

Emperor Xue Ye shrugged, and the scepter in his hand lightly hit the ground. The clear and sweet sound made the entire hall suddenly fall into silence, as everyone wondered what His Majesty meant by what he said.

The prince "Xue Qinghe" understood and walked out, half-knelt on the ground under the gaze of everyone. At the same time, a woman in a gorgeous robe came over with a tray.

On top of the tray is a crown that exudes a faint brilliance. The crown is inlaid with a circle of colorful gems, and there is a blue crystal the size of a dove egg in the center, which is enough to illustrate the value of this crown.

Emperor Xue Ye announced: "From now on, the crown prince "Xue Qinghe" will be officially granted the title. If I am not here, the crown prince "Xue Qinghe" can take charge of government affairs, thus preparing the way for the next emperor of the Tiandou Empire."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!

The dignitaries who did not support the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" all frowned. This was not the time to tell the people of the world that the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" would be the next emperor of the Tiandou Empire.

Prince Xuexing couldn't help but clench the wine glass in his hand, staring at the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe" with a serious look. He always supported the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, but now that Emperor Xue Ye did this, it was obvious that he was telling everyone that the position of Crown Prince would always belong to "Xue Qinghe".

As the crown was completely placed on "Xue Qinghe's" head, this matter was also confirmed.

Xue Qinghe knelt deeply and bowed, "Thank you, Father."

"Yes." Emperor Xue Ye nodded with satisfaction, returned to his seat, and drank and chatted with Ning Fengzhi and others.

Xue Beng clenched his fists with some envy, but he knew in his heart that with his own strength, he could never be a match for his elder brother.

If I come out now to seize the position of the next emperor, I will probably be beheaded here the next day.

Prince Xuexing frowned. He really wanted to explain this matter to Emperor Xue Ye, but seeing that Lin Yuan and "Xue Qinghe" were so close, it was obvious that the two had a different relationship.

"Xue Beng, are you sure Lin Yuan always supports you?"

Prince Xuexing came to Xuebeng and took advantage of the break from drinking to ask about Xuebeng's location.

Xue Beng nodded and replied, "I trust Teacher Lin Yuan. I know his character better than anyone else. He won't stand up. Besides, Big Brother and Teacher Lin Yuan have only known each other for a short time. It's impossible for them to have been together as long as I have."

After hearing Xue Beng's confident answer, Prince Xuexing didn't say anything else. Since Xue Beng had already said so, how could he continue to add fuel to the fire?

If His Majesty knew about this, it might bring me unnecessary trouble.

Ning Fengzhi came before Lin Yuan, bowed respectfully, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty Lin Yuan, we are truly destined to meet again."

"So it's Sect Master Ning. It seems we do have some destiny."

Lin Yuan took a sip of his wine, raised his head and looked at the amiable Ning Fengzhi in front of him, then continued: "Sect Master Ning, I heard that the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect have joined Shrek Academy, right?"

"That's right." Ning Fengzhi nodded and replied, "The person you saw last time was my daughter Ning Rongrong. She joined Shrek Academy a year ago. She's doing quite well academically and has already broken through to the 30th level of Soul Master."

For Ning Fengzhi, no matter whether the academy is good or bad, as long as his daughter doesn't get used to it, it's fine. After all, Rongrong is definitely a little witch in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and almost no one is willing to play with her.

If this continues, Ning Rongrong will probably become a witch who does all kinds of evil in the future, and may even bring fatal disaster to the family.

It was for this reason that Ning Fengzhi decided to let his daughter join Shrek Academy so that she could become a qualified soul master under the education of Shrek Academy.

The last time Ning Fengzhi took a look, Ning Rongrong was no longer the little witch who could only threaten others, but had grown into a big girl. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would still need her to lead its development in the future.

Lin Yuan said with a half-smile, "Sect Master Ning, I'd better remind you that although Shrek Academy is called the High-level Spirit Master Academy, its original title was Blue Tyrant Academy. Also, do you think the teaching level of Shrek Academy is really that good?"

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi subconsciously looked at Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside him, somewhat confused about what His Majesty Lin Yuan meant. Could it be that Shrek Academy had some unspeakable secrets?
Lin Yuan took a sip of his wine, leaned back in his chair, and asked, "Sect Master Ning, there's a saying that has been circulating in Shrek Academy from the beginning to now."

"What?"

"A soul master who doesn't cause trouble is not a good soul master."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. He didn't hear anything wrong with this sentence. But after thinking about it, Ning Fengzhi realized that something was wrong.

Although Shrek Academy is a monster academy, they are causing trouble everywhere.

Flanders, the dean, went even further, saying that a soul master who doesn't cause trouble is not a good soul master, which is enough to show how disgusting this statement is.

Killing people is the right way for you.

Is it a sin for others to kill others?
Isn't it just relying on one's own strength? There is no need to look for excuses in a high-sounding manner.

Why didn't they dare to cause trouble to the Titled Douluo? It was because their own strength was not strong enough to bully a spirit master of this level.
