Chapter 288

When the master and the others came out of the palace, they all had worried expressions on their faces.

The reason they were invited was that the students were too outstanding, so Emperor Xue Ye wanted to reward them and give them the title of Honorary Academy.

On the surface, this matter seemed good, but in fact, they all knew why Xue Ye had summoned them.

It was because of the battle in Heaven Dou City, especially the battle between titled Douluo. It was really unsettling.

Because of this, the Snowy Night Emperor looked for them to inquire about Thanos Overlord.

Now, Xue Ye wanted to reward Lin Feng and give him the title of Earl. Obviously, he wanted to rope him in.

This matter was not easy to deal with. It was wrong to accept it, but it was also wrong not to accept it.

It was better to tell Lin Feng about this matter first and see what he planned. Xue Ye said that it was best to give a definite answer today, at the latest tomorrow.

It seemed that the other party was very anxious. The master and the others were worried because they were afraid that Xue Ye would do something.

After returning to the academy, Flanders immediately went to look for Lin Feng, but he didn't see him in the academy.

After asking around, it turned out that he had gone to the Soul Dueling Arena.

The Soul Dueling Arena was too big and there were many soul masters. Even if they knew Lin Feng's name, it was very difficult to find him.

Therefore, after knowing that he was in the Soul Dueling Arena, Flanders and the others didn't look for him and just waited quietly.

In the afternoon, Lin Feng returned.

Just now in the Soul Dueling Arena, he was multitasking and fought an exciting team battle. At this moment, he was a little tired and was ready to go back to sleep.

However, when he walked to the gate, Lin Feng saw something unusual. There were actually a few royal guards at the gate.

Lin Feng asked around for a while and quickly found out what was going on.

In the morning, Prince Xue Xing personally came and brought Flanders to the palace.

Lin Feng had thought about this before. After all, Douluo the Hell Wolf had discovered the situation back then.

However, Xue Ye acted too quickly. He didn't do anything and didn't get in the way of anyone, but he was already causing trouble.

Just as Lin Feng was in a daze, an unfamiliar soul master walked over. He was a Soul Emperor.

It was a middle-aged woman who was quite pretty.

She came over and took out a letter. "His Highness gave this to you."

After saying that, she didn't wait for Lin Feng to say anything and left. Her purpose was only to deliver the letter.

Your Highness?

Xue Qinghe?

With that thought in mind, Lin Feng opened the envelope and took a look. Indeed, it was from Xue Qinghe.

The letter was very short, with only a few sentences. The gist of it was that the Snowy Night Emperor wanted to deal with Thanos and wanted him to pass on the message.

It seemed that Xue Qinghe was using him as a mouthpiece for Thanos.

That wasn't a big deal. The main thing was that the Snow Night Emperor was being way too cautious. Was he going to deal with Lin Fan just like that?

The number of soul cultivators in Heaven Dou City had increased over the past few days. Were they going to surround and kill him?

This reaction was a little too big.

For a moment, Lin Feng wanted to assassinate Xue Ye and let Xue Qinghe take over. That would save the Heaven Dou Empire a lot of trouble.

However, Lin Feng knew that he couldn't kill Xue Qinghe.

There were too many guards in the palace. Putting aside the two Titled Douluo, there were at least ten Soul Douluo and dozens of Soul Sages. If so many people surrounded Lin Fan, he wouldn't be able to escape as long as they used special soul skills to restrict him.

Furthermore, as an empire with a long history, Lin Feng didn't believe that this was all they had. They might have hidden trump cards that they hadn't revealed yet.

In the original novel, the Heaven Dou Empire even had the Sea God's Divine Weapon. They had a very deep foundation.

Oh yes, there was another important point. There should be a special formation or treasure in the palace.

Previously, he used his avatar to sneak into the palace to take a look. However, he lost contact not long after he entered.

He didn't go missing. It was just that his range of control was greatly reduced.

Outside, Lin Feng's avatar could only move about four kilometers away. His avatar could only move about two kilometers away.

If he entered the palace, this distance would be reduced by ten times!

This distance was too short. Because of this, Lin Feng didn't enter the palace for safety reasons.

After reading the letter, Lin Feng burned it.

After that, he returned to the academy.

He didn't want to bother with Xue Ye for now. If he angered him, Lin Feng would beat him up a few times outside the palace and then run away.

Let's see if he still dares to oppose me after a few more times.

After returning to the academy, Lin Feng bumped into Zhao Wuji, who was about to leave. Then, he was dragged to the principal's office.

At this moment, Flanders, Liu Erlong, and the Grandmaster were waiting there.

After Lin Feng entered, the Grandmaster came up to him and said, "Little Feng, how are you today?"

"Not bad. I just feel a little sleepy," Lin Feng said casually.

"Today, Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire summoned us."

Flanders went straight to the point. "When we were summoned, His Majesty said that he thinks highly of you and wants to make you a count. What do you think?"

"Make me a count?" Lin Feng was stunned. He didn't understand what was going on.

He thought that Flanders and the others were summoned to the palace to give them a beating. Why was he being made a count now?

"That's right. His Majesty said that he wants to make you a count himself. This is a treatment only Soul Sages get. After that, you can have a mansion in Heaven Dou City. You can also choose a piece of land outside the city as your fief."

To be honest, the title of Count was quite a high noble title. To a commoner, the highest noble title was the title of Count after performing meritorious deeds. As for the higher noble titles, they were usually treated like relatives of the emperor.

A count would have a fief and a mansion in the city. The mansion would even be guarded by Soul Sages. The fief outside the city would also be able to recruit soldiers.

Xue Ye wasn't afraid of having an army in his fief. No matter how many soldiers there were, they couldn't compare to him. These soldiers could also strengthen Heaven Dou City's defenses. This was a good thing.

If he became a count, it would be much easier for him to become an official in the palace. Furthermore, he would have more authority!

"Count … I won't enter the palace, and I won't listen to any summons in the future. If you agree to these two conditions, I can accept the title of count." Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng knew a little about the empire's nobility system.

If he became a count, he would have a lot of authority, but he would also have to obey the empire.

If the empire summoned him, he would have to go. If he didn't go, he would be considered a traitor.

Under such circumstances, the empire would punish him, and it would be a legitimate one.

Lin Feng wasn't interested in this method. If he had to fulfill his obligations, he could refuse. After all, he didn't really need it.

However, if it was directly given to him, he could accept it. After all, it wasn't good to have someone give you something.

A piece of legal land was quite interesting. It would be fun to play with it as a game.
