Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 147 The Emperor’s Attention, Royal Honor
Everyone present looked at Shi Yu almost at the same time, their eyes flickering.
The emperor's proposal was expected by some, but also unexpected.
They had considered recruiting Shi Yu. After all, Shi Yu normally had no right to attend this banquet, let alone sit in such a front row seat.
This position shows how much the emperor valued him.
What they didn't expect was that the emperor actually attached so much importance to Shi Yu.
The status of a member of the Imperial Household's Worship Hall was at least comparable to that of a marquis. This meant that Shi Yu was being directly conferred the title of marquis. This treatment was definitely an exaggerated one for a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not knowing much about the Imperial Worship Hall," Shi Yu asked inquiringly.
I didn't rush to refuse, but first I had to figure out what benefits I could gain from joining the Royal Worship Hall, and what I would have to pay for it.
Furthermore, rejecting directly is not giving the other person face, so you should act as if you have given it some thought.
Emperor Xingluo smiled slightly and explained to Shi Yu personally.
"The Imperial Worship Hall is a military organization directly under the Emperor. The Empire will hire powerful soul masters to join the Imperial Worship Hall with very generous conditions."

"The empire gives them everything they want, such as money, cultivation resources, and status, and all they need to do is work for the empire."

"The soul masters who join the Royal Family's Worship Hall basically start at the Soul Douluo realm. The Soul Douluo-level worshipers have the same status as some marquises."

"And the Titled Douluo-level priests are at least comparable to dukes, and many have even become kings of other surnames in the empire, holding a high status."

"Although you don't have the strength of a Contra, I am optimistic about your future and can make an exception for you."

"As long as you are willing to join the Royal Worship Hall, you can ask for all the resources you need for cultivation in the future. I will arrange for you to have your spirit rings and spirit bones as complete as possible."

"You no longer need to worry about any trivial matters. You can concentrate on your cultivation without any worries," said the Xingluo Emperor, looking at Shi Yu.
Many people's eyes changed slightly, and their gazes towards Shi Yu changed again. Did the emperor really value him so much?
Xu Jiujiu, who was sitting opposite Shi Yu, was sizing him up without blinking, as if he wanted to see through him. He wanted to know what was so special about him that the Emperor valued him so much. This was a completely determined move.
"Your Majesty, I'm just a Soul Master. I'm not something you should take seriously," Shi Yu said awkwardly.
I can feel the other person's sincerity, but I really don't want to agree.
Joining the Imperial Household is like signing a contract to sell yourself to the Xingluo Empire.
He doesn't really want to work for others; a free and easy life is what he longs for.
You can lose your power and status, but you cannot lose your freedom.
"Your abilities are worthy of my attention," Xingluo Emperor said seriously.
He actually didn't quite understand what Shi Yu's martial spirit was, but that didn't matter. He had witnessed him break into the depths of the palace amidst heavy guards.
He also heard from his uncle Xu Yuan that Shi Yu could teleport with him continuously, covering distances of two to three hundred kilometers in just a few minutes. This ability shocked him, but also made him wary.
He is still a Soul Master and can still do this, so how terrifying will it be if he cultivates to the level of Soul Emperor, Soul Sage, or even Titled Douluo?
He felt terrified just thinking about it. Shi Yu would probably be able to come and go freely in the palace in the future. How could he sleep peacefully then?
He didn't want to suddenly see Shi Yu standing beside his bed while he was sleeping.
He felt uneasy about Shi Yu's future. He had to recruit such people or get rid of them.
He was a student at Shrek Academy and was highly regarded. Elder Xuan had already told him clearly yesterday, with a warning in mind.
Under such circumstances, he naturally couldn't think of getting rid of Shi Yu, and thus offending Shrek would be more trouble than gain.
The only option left is to recruit them. Recruiting such a genius to serve the empire would be a better option.
He even imagined the scene of Shi Yu growing up and assassinating the Sun Moon Emperor.
With this ability, the probability of successfully assassinating the emperor is absolutely high.
Shi Yu was silent, his mind was constantly thinking. After weighing the pros and cons, he tentatively said: "Your Majesty, I may choose to stay in Shrek Academy after graduation. In this case, it is not suitable for me to join the Royal Worship Hall."

He actually didn't have much intention of staying in school, and now he was more using this as a way to reject the Xingluo Emperor.
A hint of disappointment flashed across the Xingluo Emperor's eyes; he had somewhat expected this.
After all, he had a meeting with Master Xuan yesterday, and the latter revealed to him that Shi Yu was a disciple of the Master of the Sea God Pavilion.
With this kind of identity, it is quite possible that Shi Yu will stay at Shrek Academy.
"The treatment we offer is no worse than that of Shrek Academy, so why don't you consider it again?" Xingluo Empire said.
"I will consider it, but I prefer to stay in Shrek now."

"If I don't choose to stay at Shrek in the future, I will definitely give priority to joining the Royal Worship Hall and become a member of it," Shi Yu said politely.
Emperor Xingluo smiled, suggesting there was still some hope.
"I think this is a good idea. You will first become an honorary worshiper of the Imperial Worship Hall, just a title."

"If you want to join the Imperial Worship Hall in the future, then remove the word honorary and become a formal worshiper."

"If you want to stay at Shrek Academy, this honorary offering will not have any impact on you."

"Just treat it as a token of friendship between you and the Xingluo Empire. You don't need to do anything for the Xingluo Empire just because of this title, and the Xingluo Empire has no right to ask you to do anything." Xu Jiujiu suddenly smiled and spoke in a pleasant voice.
"Okay, I think this is a good suggestion." Xingluo Emperor's eyes lit up and he gave Xu Jiujiu an admiring look. This sister was really a good helper to him.
He looked at Shi Yu again, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Shi Yu looked at her for a long time, and she smiled at him tenderly and winked playfully.
"That's a good suggestion indeed," Shi Yu nodded. There was no way to refuse.
If I still refuse this kindness, I will be giving no respect to the Xingluo Empire.
This is someone else's territory. The Xingluo Empire has helped them a lot in the past two days. It would be inappropriate for me to refuse.
Anyway, honorary offerings have no binding force on me, so I just agree to it. It’s just another title.

"Let's raise our glasses and celebrate the addition of an honorary member to the Imperial Worship Hall," the Xingluo Emperor happily suggested.
Everyone raised their glasses with smiles on their faces, showing great respect to Shi Yu.
Shi Yu felt a little embarrassed by such treatment, it was hard to refuse such a kind offer.
