Chapter 69: Meeting the Angel Patriarch, Yu Mengdi Submits
The old man was probably over a hundred years old, and his strength was only at the peak of Soul Douluo, and he had not broken through the ninth ring.
Although possessing an angel spirit does not necessarily mean a person has great talent, to be able to become a clan leader, his aptitude cannot be so high that he cannot break through to the Titled Douluo level even at the age of a hundred. It can only be that he lacks resources.
Xu Tianran understood.
Ye He, the current patriarch of the Angel Clan, is an old man who is over 150 years old and has entered the late stage of Soul Douluo life. He is also looking at the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire intently.
His strength was not overly strong, but his martial soul's perception was first-rate. With his keen perception, he quickly realized that although the emperor seemed to be alone, he actually had countless Super Douluo fighters following him.
What made Ye He even more puzzled and surprised was that even he could not see through the emperor's innate strength. Could it be that... he was at the Soul Saint realm at the age of twenty?
Ye He sucked in a breath of cold air. A Soul Sage before the age of twenty was rarer than Ye Guyi, a genius in the clan who was born with full soul power and appeared only once in a hundred years.
He then did not put on any airs of an ancient nobleman, but first greeted the young emperor with a slight bow.
"Ye He, meet the Sun and Moon Emperor."
Xu Tianran smiled and helped the old man up. "You are too polite, old man. I am sorry to have asked you to travel thousands of miles to come here. Please sit down and talk."
Ye He looked at the emperor's courteous behavior, and the corners of his wrinkled eyes relaxed slightly.
Being able to maintain a decent appearance is already much better than many people. If you can remain humble all the time, there will be no difference between you and a real saint king.
At least, he did see the sincerity of the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire towards the Angel Family.
For the angel clan, the surname is not important, the martial spirit is the most important.
Ye He is not pedantic, otherwise he would not mind his granddaughter Ye Guyi going to the Sun and Moon Empire to study.
The "stubborn" refusal in the previous letter was just a cautious move by a lonely person, trying to test whether the Sun and Moon Royal Family really had any intentions. The Angel Clan really can't afford to be hurt now.
With his talent, he should have no problem being promoted to Titled Douluo before the age of eighty even if his resources were poor. However, due to his inability to hunt for spirit rings, he eventually remained at the Soul Douluo level.
An 80,000-year-old soul beast is equivalent to the peak of Soul Douluo, and a 90,000-year-old soul beast is equivalent to the combat power of a human Titled Douluo. He dare not take the risk, and cannot take the risk.
Xu Tianran suddenly turned to Ye Guyi and beckoned her closer. His palm flashed with light, "Emperor Xingluo made a bet with me on how long it would take you to defeat Tang Xiaolei in the second round. If I win, I will get this Bright Earth Dragon Soul Bone as a reward for your contribution to the Royal Academy."
Ye Guyi stood there in a daze, his rosy lips couldn't help but open, his eyes wide open.
After a while, she regained consciousness. She took a step back and waved her hands hastily, "No, no, no, Your Majesty, how can you do this? It's just a trivial matter. I dare not take credit for it..."
She didn't know the specific quality of the ten thousand year old soul bone in front of her, but just the flowing light on its surface made her martial soul tremble, which showed that it was not an ordinary thing. How could Ye Guyi dare to accept it easily?
Xu Tianran handed it over without question in front of Ye He, who was shocked, and Yu Mengdi, who was envious.
"The Soul Bone was won because of you, and the Royal Academy also gained great reputation because of you. Take it. I have said before, as long as it serves the Empire, I have never been a stingy person."
Ye Guyi was caught off guard and held the rare treasure worth tens of millions in his palm.
Her frosty white wrists were slightly stiff, and she no longer looked like the heroic Valkyrie on the battlefield.
Ye Guyi raised her delicate head, and her light golden eyes met the brown eyes of the Sun Emperor. She felt as if burned, and lowered her head in a hurry, her cheeks flushed.
At this moment, Ye He and Yu Mengdi, who had not left yet, felt even more complicated and shocked than her.
Even though he knew the emperor was showing favor, why did he just give away such a precious soul bone?
Light, Earth Dragon, 30,000 years.
Even the former Spirit Hall probably couldn't produce a few soul bones of such high quality.
The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire generously gave it away, right in front of her, to this fellow tribesman...
Yu Mengdi felt bitter in his heart.
The great noble of the Tianhun Empire, to whom her family was loyal, was not willing to give her a soul bone. After learning of her potential and her innate ninth-level soul power, he almost had her strangled to death when she was young. Later, he was so wary of her that he suppressed her several times, forcing her to leave for Zhengtian Academy.
We both choose the right tree to rest on, why is she so miserable...
Ye He, the patriarch of the Angel Family, finally took his eyes off the soul bone on his granddaughter's body. Looking at the soul bone, his mentality changed completely.
Is there any practical behavior that can better express respect for the wise than directly giving away soul bones?
The Angel Family didn't even have the strength to hunt for spirit rings, let alone ten thousand year old dragon spirit bones. Even he only had two ordinary ten thousand year old spirit bones.
Ye He took a deep breath, suppressed his throbbing heart, and tried to keep his tone steady as he said to Xu Tianran: "I wonder about those...treatments that His Majesty the Emperor mentioned earlier..."
Xu Tianran smiled and said, "I will give you the best of both worlds. If a top Soul Douluo like you agrees to teach at the Royal Academy, you only need to complete a two-year term. By then, the royal family and the academy's top management will hunt a soul beast that is at least 80,000 years old for you as your ninth soul ring."
"If the Angel Family has other powerful Soul Sages or above, they can also teach at the Royal Academy or other major academies. For each Soul Sage, I will grant one young man from your family a place as a core student at the Royal Academy. They can also join the army or take exams to enter the government."
Ye He was completely relieved, and his mood was no longer the same as when he came.
The Sun-Moon Empire is full of sincerity and has never been an enemy.
Faced with the huge temptations of the future, there is indeed no need to continue to stay in the countryside of the Xingluo Empire.
The dilemma of hunting for the ninth soul ring for him, which could have resulted in the deaths of several family members, was easily resolved.
Ye He immediately said, "I am willing to lead my family to infiltrate your country. Your Majesty, please accept me."
Xu Tianran smiled and said, "It's our country."
Ye He's shoulders relaxed and he smiled.
At this moment, Yu Mengdi, who had been watching from the sidelines, wanting to leave but not wanting to, suddenly said, "And me, and me... I also wish to follow Gu Yi into the Sun Moon Empire. Please grant me permission, Your Majesty."
Xu Tianran turned his head and his eyes fell on Yu Mengdi, the two-winged angel who was also one of his targets. Her silver-white battle suit was slightly damaged, but her exotic face and eyes, and her healthy and plump long legs exuded charm everywhere.
More importantly, her martial spirit talent, which comes from the same source as Ye Guyi, is also very impressive.
Xu Tianran readily agreed, "Welcome. Then Miss Yu, please go with Gu Yi to the Imperial Academy to report. I will grant you the status of a core student."
Yu Mengdi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily.
A little excitement and anticipation arose in my heart. What about the soul bone?
Xu Tianran ignored her. He was not a resentful person. Didn't he see that Ye He had to teach for two years before he got his ninth soul ring?
You give me soul bones as soon as you arrive. What if I run away? The empire doesn't have so much money that it has nowhere to spend it.
…
Someone escorted the head of the Ye family out of the hotel, and sent an eighth-level soul engineer who was accompanying the army back with him to move the family.
Xu Tianran also returned to Xingluo Square.
She also brought the Holy Angel Spirit girl Ye Guyi onto the team, and she seemed to have sent Yu Mengdi away.
Halfway through the journey, she suddenly called out.
Xu Tianran turned back in confusion, and seeing her still silently holding the soul bone, he reminded her, "It's not the lack of talent that's worrying, but the inequality of it. Miss Ye is very talented, but you also need to be careful about the impact. It's best not to let your classmates see it. Since I gave it to you, I won't take it back."
Hearing this, Ye Guyi shook his head.
She suddenly bowed to the young man in front of her.
The delicate head was buried, and the phoenix eyes were slightly moist. "I want to thank Your Majesty for your repeated gifts and shelter..."
