Honorary Citizen

The three of them headed downstairs together. At this moment, on the first floor of the Blacksmith Association, a man in a law enforcement uniform was waiting below.

This man was Liu An, the captain of the Mecha Brigade who had brought Jiang Yi to Heaven Dou City last time.

When they arrived downstairs, Liu An smiled upon seeing Jiang Yi.

Then, he noticed Zhen Hua and Mu Ye standing beside Jiang Yi.

However, he did not pay them much attention, assuming they were forging masters from the Blacksmith Association.

"Long time no see, Little Hero Jiang Yi," Liu An said with a smile.

Jiang Yi smiled as well. "Captain Liu An, long time no see."

"The commendation I told you about last time has been approved. With the governor's consent, it has been decided that you will be awarded the Tiantou City Honorary Citizen Badge."

"However, for your safety, we will not publicize your identity, so the ceremony must be held at the Administration Hall."

"You should be free now, right? Come with me to the Administration Hall." Liu An invited him.

Surprise flashed through Zhen Hua's eyes when he heard Liu An's words.

He knew of the Heaven Dou City Honorary Citizen Badge. Under normal circumstances, only those who had made major contributions to Heaven Dou City could receive it.

It was Heaven Dou City's highest honor. With this badge, all spending within Heaven Dou City, including auction participation, came with a twenty percent discount.

What exactly had Jiang Yi done to be awarded this badge by the Administration Hall?

At this moment, Zhen Hua spoke. "I am Zhen Hua of the Blacksmith Association, and Jiang Yi's teacher as well. Could you tell us what happened?"

"Zhen Hua?" Liu An looked at Zhen Hua with a shocked expression.

Of course, he had heard the name of the only Divine Craftsman in the world, but he had never seen the man in person.

"Your Excellency Zhen Hua." Liu An hurriedly bowed.

Then, Liu An began explaining what had happened that day.

Zhen Hua and Mu Ye both turned serious.

They had never expected that the Evil Soul Master who attacked the train had been captured because of Jiang Yi.

Furthermore, Jiang Yi had saved everyone on an entire train.

Zhen Hua looked at Jiang Yi sternly. "Xiao Yi, you did the right thing, but facing a Soul Emperor was far too dangerous for you."

"The first thing you should have done was notify Mu Ye and have him rush over to handle it."

"That's right." Mu Ye nodded at this moment.

He had only just accepted Jiang Yi as his disciple. If something had happened to him on the way to Heaven Dou City, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.

"I did think of that at the time, but Teacher, you never left me any contact information," Jiang Yi said helplessly.

After Mu Ye finished speaking, he had left immediately. Other than the two prepared dishes, he had not left anything behind.

As soon as this was said, Zhen Hua shot Mu Ye an unfriendly look, while Mu Ye himself became somewhat embarrassed.

He had been too emotional at the time and had completely forgotten about it.

Liu An also figured out the relationship between the three of them at this moment, and he was secretly astonished.

"I never expected Jiang Yi to be Your Excellency Zhen Hua's disciple. And it seems he is the disciple of another man as well."

Judging from how they interacted, if Mu Ye and Zhen Hua were equals, then Mu Ye's strength was certainly not weak either.

"With two such powerful teachers, no wonder he dropped out of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy."

Zhen Hua said at this moment, "Then let Xiao Yi go with you to the Administration Hall and receive his medal."

"Yes, Your Excellency," Liu An quickly replied.

Jiang Yi followed Liu An out of the Soul Engineering Academy and headed toward the Administration Hall.

Liu An had driven over. After getting into his car, the two of them arrived at the entrance to the Administration Hall not long after.

"Come inside with me. Our governor is already waiting for you. Speaking of which, you are not the only one receiving a medal today."

"That train conductor from that day will also be receiving one today," Liu An said with a smile.

"I see."

In the original fate, although Mo Lan had been seriously injured, she had also received this medal.

After all, she truly was a conscientious and responsible train conductor.

The two of them entered the Administration Hall together, and Liu An led Jiang Yi into a room.

The moment he entered, a delighted voice reached his ears.

"Jiang Yi!" Mo Lan called out excitedly.

Beside her stood a young man around twenty-eight years old and a child around two, exquisitely cute like a little doll.

Jiang Yi smiled. "Sister Mo Lan, we meet again."

He then looked at the young man and the child. "This must be my brother-in-law."

The young man walked over and said sincerely, "Thank you, Jiang Yi. If you hadn't made a move back then, Xiao Lan would have been in danger."

"Every Evil Soul Master deserves to be executed. I merely lent a hand," Jiang Yi said, shaking his head.

"Haha, Little Hero Jiang Yi is right. Every Evil Soul Master deserves to be executed."

"But you not only helped capture the Evil Soul Master, you also saved the passengers on the train and countless families."

The door suddenly opened, and a Middle-aged Man pushed it open and walked in.

Jiang Yi turned to look at him. Mo Lan called out, "Father."

The young man also called, "Father-in-law."

"Grandpa!" the two-year-old child called out in a sweet, childish voice.

The Middle-aged Man nodded at them before looking at Jiang Yi and introducing himself. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the governor of Heaven Dou City, as well as Mo Lan's father, Mo Wu."

"Hello, Governor," Jiang Yi said.

"I am a governor, but I am also a father. If you do not mind, you may call me Uncle Mo," Mo Wu said.

After saying that, Mo Wu's expression turned solemn as he took out two brocade boxes.

Seeing this, Mo Lan pulled Jiang Yi over, and the two stood side by side.

Mo Wu nodded slightly. "Some time ago, a train bound for Heaven Dou City suffered a shocking terrorist attack."

"The attacker was a Soul Emperor-level Evil Soul Master. During the incident, train conductor Mo Lan fearlessly protected the passengers despite the Evil Soul Master's threats."

"Train passenger Jiang Yi bravely stepped forward to fight the Evil Soul Master and lured him away, saving the passengers aboard."

"I, Mo Wu, governor of Heaven Dou City, hereby award you both Heaven Dou City's highest honor: the Heaven Dou City Honorary Citizen Badge."

Mo Wu opened the two brocade boxes in his hands and pinned the badges on them.

And with that, the simple award ceremony was complete.

Afterward, Mo Wu went back to work. Jiang Yi had originally planned to leave, but under Mo Lan's enthusiastic invitation, he ultimately joined them for a meal outside.

After bidding them farewell, Jiang Yi left the restaurant and was about to return to the Blacksmith Association.

Suddenly, someone by the roadside caught his attention.
