Chapter 28 Liu Yuan becomes a count in the Sun Moon Empire! Ling Luochen boldly declares his love!
"His Majesty wants to see me? Now?"
Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Liu Yuan was somewhat surprised.
He glanced at Jing Hongchen before him, and asked with some doubt:
Do you know what exactly happened?
Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen smiled slightly at Liu Yuan.
He replied, "Of course, it's to reward you!"
"Although you have not been at our Sun and Moon Royal Academy for long, you have already achieved remarkable results in teaching."
"Moreover, you've given our Sun Moon Royal Academy a great boost in publicity this time, greatly enhancing our reputation and attracting more powerful forces and outstanding students to study at our academy..."
"This is all thanks to you!"
"So His Majesty was very pleased when he learned of this and had already said he would reward you handsomely. It's a pity you took your disciples to obtain spirit rings earlier."
Jing Hongchen continued speaking, roughly conveying the meaning of the Sun and Moon Emperor.
And to be honest, the Sun and Moon Emperor had indeed wanted to see Liu Yuan for a long time, and even wanted to cultivate a good relationship with him.
However, I've never had a suitable reason to see him before...
This was a perfect opportunity, and the Sun and Moon Emperor certainly wouldn't let it slip by.
Therefore, upon learning that Liu Yuan had returned, Emperor Riyue immediately sent Jing Hongchen to invite Liu Yuan back.
"So that's how it is..."
"Then I'll go with you."
He answered the mirror with a question.
Then he immediately sent Ling Luochen home first.
Afterwards, under Jing Hongchen's guidance, he arrived at the imperial palace of the Sun Moon Empire for the first time.
Throughout the journey, Jing Hongchen continuously introduced Liu Yuan to the various things within the palace, while also speaking highly of the Sun and Moon Emperor, saying that he had always greatly admired Liu Yuan...
Perhaps to the average person, it seems a bit unreasonable for an emperor and a big shot like Jing Hongchen to show such an attitude towards Liu Yuan...
But only Jing Hongchen and the Sun and Moon Emperor understood that even if they held high positions of power, sometimes they had to let go of their dignity and airs!
Especially when facing a super talent like Liu Yuan!
If they continue to act aloof, there's definitely no way they'll be able to truly win him over.
Even the emperor, or the dean of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy...
When dealing with someone as talented as Liu Yuan, you have to give him plenty of face and respect, and even coax him!
Therefore, Jing Hongchen and the Sun and Moon Emperor strictly followed this policy.
"Hahaha! Teacher Liu Yuan! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Soon, Jing Hongchen brought Liu Yuan to the main hall of the palace.
As soon as Liu Yuan and Jing Hongchen entered, the Sun and Moon Emperor, who had been waiting, stepped forward with great enthusiasm and spoke to Liu Yuan.
This surprised Liu Yuan somewhat, as he hadn't expected the Sun and Moon Emperor to treat him with such humility.
"Liu Yuan, a teacher at the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
He pretended to bow down to the sun and moon emperor.
Before he could make a move, the Sun and Moon Emperor helped him up.
"Teacher Liu Yuan, you may dispense with the formalities!"
"I have long admired you!"
"Therefore, you need not be so reserved in front of me, nor do you need to observe so many formalities!"
"Alright then, Dean Jing Hongchen has brought you here this time, so you're familiar with the palace layout now. If you want to come again in the future, you can come and go as you please. Also, let's skip all these formalities. When you see me in the future, you don't need to kneel or bow! Just greet me!"
The Sun and Moon Emperor laughed heartily, and with just a few words, he bestowed upon him enormous power, making quite a show of it.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Liu Yuan felt much more favorably disposed towards them.
He tried to thank him again, but the Sun and Moon Emperor refused, saying, "No need to thank me for such a small matter."
The Emperor then continued, "Actually, the reason I asked you to come here today was to see you."
"After all, you've been at the Sun Moon Royal Academy for so long, and I still haven't seen you!"
"I know everything you've done! Well done!"
"Therefore, I have already drafted the decree. After you finish your meal with me later, the decree will be conveyed, and you will be a count in my Sun Moon Empire!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan was immediately surprised.
After all, a count is already an extremely high title.
In the Douluo Continent, noble titles are divided into five ranks.
The ranks, in descending order, are: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron.
Because there are only five ranks, promotion to a higher rank is extremely difficult.
Generally speaking, reaching the rank of Earl means being a very important figure in the empire.
It is generally only those who have made great contributions to the empire for generations who can obtain it.
Therefore, Liu Yuan really did not expect that the Emperor of the Sun and Moon would have such a grand gesture.
Although he knew that the other party was doing this in order to win him over.
But to be able to do this is already quite an achievement.
Therefore, his fondness for the Sun and Moon Emperor inevitably grew stronger.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Sun and Moon Emperor remained as enthusiastic as ever. He smiled slightly and said, "Oh dear, you should have said you didn't need to be so polite."
"Come on, Teacher Liu Yuan, let's have a meal together!"
He soon invited Liu Yuan to have dinner with him.
They chatted casually while eating, and they really weren't pretentious at all.
After the meal, Liu Yuan left the palace, but the news that he had been granted the title of Earl had already spread throughout the entire Sun and Moon Imperial City.
This immediately caused a huge tremor within the Sun and Moon Imperial City.
However, despite the shock, Liu Yuan's name is now known to everyone in the Sun and Moon Imperial City.
Although they were shocked, they could understand the Sun and Moon Emperor's choice.
They even believed that the Sun and Moon Emperor was extremely wise!
Because their Sun Moon Empire lacks top talents like Liu Yuan, what does a mere earldom matter if they can keep him?
Therefore, many people began to discuss the wise actions of the Sun and Moon Emperor.
Of course, this was just a minor incident for Liu Yuan.
In the years that followed, he continued to train his students and apprentices as always.
Under his continuous guidance, after a semester, each student in the class had at least improved their soul power cultivation by six or seven levels.
As for Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, and Ling Luochen, they have already made even greater improvements.
Because Liu Yuan occasionally received rewards such as immortal herbs or pills during his lectures during this period.
He had no use for such rewards, so he naturally gave them all to his disciples.
Therefore, under his constant nurturing and guidance, the disciples' cultivation levels improved even more dramatically than those of ordinary students.
A semester has passed, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's soul power cultivation has now reached level 40!
As for Xiao Xiao, since her soul power level was already high, she didn't level up as quickly as Huo Yuhao and the others.
But at this point, he already had a soul power level of 53.
Of course, Ling Luochen's cultivation level also improved.
Her cultivation level was the highest among the disciples, so her progress was the slowest.
A semester has passed, and her cultivation level has just reached level 69, still one step away from level 70.
However, the disciples' improvement is indeed quite remarkable.
Perhaps in Liu Yuan's view, their upgrade speed is still not too fast.
But if you look at Shrek Academy or other people, their leveling speed is simply incredible.
Because if they continue to improve at this rate, they might all be at least Title Douluo level in a few years...
Liu Yuan himself also gained a significant increase in strength. He not only collected all nine spirit rings for his second martial soul, but also confirmed that the age of those nine spirit rings was over 200,000 years.
As for the spirit rings of his first spirit, through his efforts over the past semester, they are now all over 400,000 years old...
He had originally planned to take Huo Yuhao and the others to the Star Dou Great Forest today to obtain spirit rings.
I suddenly remembered that today is Ling Luochen's birthday.
So they delayed by a day and planned to set off tomorrow, while today was to celebrate Ling Luochen's birthday.
At this moment, they have already set up the venue and prepared the birthday cake.
Just as Liu Yuan and the others were asking Ling Luochen to blow out her birthday candles and then inquire about her birthday wish...
Ling Luochen suddenly blushed and said to Liu Yuan, "My wish is for you to give me a kiss."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and asked for a kiss in public.
Huo Yuhao and the others were stunned when they saw Ling Luochen's appearance.
"Sister Luo Chen... isn't this a direct declaration of love?"
