Xiao Wu Was Getting Restless-Time to Charge

"Brother~"

Xiao Wu's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of guilt.

Ye Hua turned around. "Oh, the vice-captain is here?"

Xiao Wu smiled sheepishly, "I wouldn't dare, I'm just a member of the captain's team!"

"Yes, that's right," Ye Hua's smile remained unchanged, "You're just talking nonsense, teammate!"

"Brother, let me explain—"

"Explain what?" Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "Explain your Shui Yue'er, or are you saying that I taught you that?"

Xiao Wu's face flushed bright red. "I... I was just using Charm Soul Skill! It was all for the competition!"

"Oh," Ye Hua nodded, "Did I teach you how to flirt with girls?"

Xiao Wu muttered, "Isn't this how you flirt with me...?"

Ye Hua laughed in exasperation, "So you're going to put what you've learned to practical use?"

"The effect is great, the whole city will be talking about it tomorrow: I'm a womanizer!"

As a result, Wang Qiu'er muttered, "You really are a lecher."

The lounge fell silent instantly.

The other girls looked at each other, then all stepped back.

In the blink of an eye, a large area around Xiao Wu and Wang Qiu'er was empty.

Meng Yiran hid behind Zhu Zhuqing, Jiangzhu lowered her head and pretended to wipe the Healing Scepter, Ning Rongrong began to move away.

Xiao Wu sensed something was off. "What do you mean?"

Wang Qiu'er frowned, "That's right, we're not a plague!"

No one answered, but they all retreated in unison.

Then, the two felt an aggressive gaze behind them and swallowed hard.

"Brother, would you believe me if I said we were just joking?"

"I don't believe you," Ye Hua's lips curled up, "After the Preliminary Tournament, there's a two-week break before the Promotion Tournament, right?"

Xiao Wu's heart was pounding wildly.

"I'll spend the next two weeks doing some serious work, so you won't have time to spout nonsense."

Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale. She pulled Wang Qiu'er close and said, "Brother! We were wrong!"

"Too late!" Ye Hua reached out and pulled the two of them to his side.

Xiao Wu and Wang Qiu'er looked at each other and saw the despair in each other's eyes.

Two weeks! I've been tortured every day! I'm going to die!

The other girls suppressed their laughter, pretending not to see it.

"Where are you going?" Ye Hua asked without turning his head.

Ning Rongrong froze. "Uh... should I go tell Dean Liu the good news?"

"Come back." Ye Hua certainly wouldn't let them sit idle.

Ning Rongrong obediently walked back, and the other girls also stopped in their tracks.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, the door to the lounge was pushed open.

Liu Erlong's face twitched when she saw Ye Hua with women on either side of him!

"Teacher Ye, you only care about the competition and don't watch anything else!"

"After the Preliminary Tournament, there will be an awards ceremony. The top five teams that advance will receive a prize of 10,000 Gold Soul Coin!"

Everyone's here, except for us, the number one!

"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coin?!" Wang Qiu'er's eyes lit up instantly.

Ye Hua retorted irritably, "Have I starved you or mistreated you?"

Wang Qiu'er pouted, "We didn't go hungry or lose money, but you can never have too much money!"

"Promising." Ye Hua rubbed his forehead with his hand.

As a partner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the owner of Tang San's ATM, Dai Mubai's biggest extortionist, the son-in-law of the Heaven Dou Empire, the son-in-law of the Zhu Clan in the Star Luo Empire, and a shareholder in the Soul Guidance Weapon industry...

He has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it, why would he care about a mere 10,000 Gold Soul Coin?

This money wouldn't even buy a decent piece of Spirit Bone at an auction!

It's just about eating out and buying houses, nothing more!

"Brother Hua may not care, but you can't put your foolish brother in a difficult position, can you?"

"Hmm?" Ye Hua looked behind Liu Erlong. "Brother Xue has come in person?"

Qian Renxue, wearing the [Xue Qinghe] skin, remained unfazed.

"You're number one, and we're just waiting for you."

"My father thinks you are extraordinary, so he sent me to invite you personally!"

"Alright," Ye Hua said, both amused and exasperated, "Brother Xue must be given face!"

Ye Hua abandoned his idea of getting intimate with Xiao Wu and followed behind Qian Renxue.

The podium was set up in the center of the arena, surrounded by spectators and participants.

The Xue Ye personally read out the list of those who advanced.

The following teams from the Heaven Dou City division have advanced to the next round of the Continental Elite High-Level Soul Master Academy Tournament:

"Long Night Team, Kamikaze Team, Thunder Team, Blazing Fire Team, Skywater Team!"

When the fifth name was called, thunderous applause Lei Dong, and no one dared to disagree!

However, Xue Ye paused, "And, the Shrek Team."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and then a commotion broke out.

"Shrek Team? Haven't they lost several matches in a row?"

"Exactly! Their points aren't even high enough to qualify, so why should they go in?"

"A cover-up! A blatant cover-up!"

Protests erupted one after another, and the team leaders and athletes from various colleges all looked grim.

Someone suddenly said--

"The Shrek Team advanced using a spot specially recommended by the Spirit Hall!"

"In other words, even if your grades don't meet the requirements, you can still easily advance!"

Saying that would have been better; it only made the whole room explode even more.

"Special recommendation from the Spirit Hall? On what grounds?"

"I heard that Bishop Salas personally opened the back door!"

"Tsk tsk, giving this kind of scum a back door, does he have glaucoma or cataracts?"

The discussion continued unabated, Salas's face turned bright red.

This kind of thing is not something that can be discussed openly. Everyone is a decent person and has a sense of shame!

That damned Yu Xiaogang actually dared to rely on the Pope's backing to make me take the fall for him!

Tang San also heard the mockery, but he didn't know whether to accept it or not.

So what if I got in through connections?

Even getting in through the back door requires connections!

My master is Yu Xiaogang!

Grandmaster of theory, a friend of the Pope, and Elder of the Spirit Hall!

Salas didn't dare utter a sound in his presence!

I'm not one of you. You think you're worthy of Envy of me getting in through connections?

Xue Ye smiled. He was happy to humiliate the Spirit Hall; no ruler would tolerate such a threat.

"The teams that have advanced to the next round of this competition have been determined; any controversies can be left until after the competition."

"Now, award the prizes!"

A servant brought out a tray, the gold notes gleaming brightly.

"Five teams, 10,000 Gold Soul Coin each."

"Captain and Vice-Captain, please come up to the stage to receive your awards!"

Feng Xiaotian accepted the gold note and nodded to Ye Hua in greeting.

Huo Wushuang also took it and handed it to his younger sister for safekeeping.

"Furthermore," Xue Ye continued, "All members of the advancing teams will be granted the title of Baron, and the captain and vice-captain will be granted the title of Viscount."

As soon as he finished speaking, the teams that didn't advance immediately cast envious glances at him.

That's a noble title!

Baronship is alright; it only grants honor, not land.

But the Viscount has a small fiefdom!

Tax revenue alone is enough to ensure a comfortable life!

The Xue Ye looked at Ye Hua with a meaningful gaze.

As for Ye Hua--

"Assist the Crown Prince in solving the rape and murder case,"

"They made significant contributions to maintaining order during the competition."

"He shall be granted the title of Earl, with his fiefdom to be chosen by himself!"

Boom!!!

The envious gazes turned into a tidal wave of exclamations.

If a viscount's territory is only the size of a playing card, then Earl's territory is comparable to an exam paper.

Moreover, he can choose his own fiefdom; if Ye Hua is thick-skinned and demands Heaven Dou City as his fiefdom...

hiss--

Only Salas remained expressionless throughout the entire arena; Xue Ye was practically vying with the Spirit Hall for talent!

He so desperately wanted Ye Hua to be naive and impatient to accept the offer, so he specifically chose wealthy lands as his fiefdom.

To his surprise, Ye Hua remained calm and simply bowed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

There was no excitement, nor was there any sense of being flattered.

Xue Ye was somewhat bewildered!

Even this couldn't sway him?

Little did he know that, including the Icefire Dragon Kings and Zi JI, Ye Hua had ten Titled Douluo fighters under his command, including Ultimate Douluo!

manor?

Ye Hua truly didn't care.

On the contrary, I find it troublesome!

He couldn't find a suitable person to manage the soul-guiding industry, so he simply handed it over to his good father-in-law. But could he really entrust the management of his fiefdom to someone else again?

"Forget it, let's look for someone later!"

"Just consider it a great place to take a vacation while farming!"

Seeing Ye Hua remain calm and composed, the Xue Ye sighed inwardly.

It's really difficult to win him over; we can only pin our hopes on Xue Ke!

But just as the awards ceremony was over and the crowd dispersed, Qian Renxue suddenly pulled him aside.

"Ye Hua..." Qian Renxue hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
