The supreme ruler of the Star Luo Empire leaned forward slightly and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Student Yuhao, your talent and character are unlike anything I have seen in my life."
Xu Jiawei patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, his tone exceedingly sincere.
"Though Shrek has deep foundations, it is ultimately a neutral academy. As a man, one ought to achieve great deeds and leave one's name in history."
"Once you graduate, the gates of the Star Luo Empire will always be open to you. If you come, name whatever terms you wish."
Xu Jiawei dropped a bombshell that no one could refuse.
"Even if you want a hereditary marquisate, I will have it arranged for you at once."
A boy not yet fourteen was being directly promised a hereditary marquisate!
It was a staggeringly generous offer.
Xu Jiawei was truly sparing no expense. Not only had he taken a liking to Huo Yuhao's strength, he also hoped to use the future Huo Yuhao to keep the White Tiger Duke Mansion in check.
After all, the White Tiger Duke's prestige in the military had now begun to faintly surpass even that of him, the emperor.
However...
Huo Yuhao showed nothing on his face. He merely gave a slight bow and did not respond directly.
"Your Majesty's favor overwhelms me."
"However, I am still studying. As for the future, no one can say for certain."
Huo Yuhao raised his head and smiled at Xu Jiawei, his tone carrying a few layers of profound meaning.
"If one day, I truly end up with nowhere to go, and no one dares to take me in..."
"Your Majesty, please do not forget what you said today."
Xu Jiawei was taken aback.
Why did that sound so strange?
