Xue Qinghe lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes.
When she raised her eyes again, her expression had returned to its usual gentleness and calmness.
The corners of his mouth curved into that perfect smile again, his posture was calm, and he even had the time to pick up the tea cup on the table and take a sip.
No one noticed her momentary gaffe.
She is the crown prince of Qian Renxue, Heaven Dou Empire, and Spirit Hall is the deepest chess piece placed in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
She can be defeated, but she cannot be seen through.
She moved her eyes away from Huang Yun and turned elsewhere, as if she just glanced at him casually.
But her fingers never let go of the cuffs, and there were several shallow crescent-shaped marks on the palms of her hands.
At noon sharp, a loud horn blast came from the entrance to the square.
Golden Armor Guard are arranged on both sides, and a Ceremonial Guard enters slowly.
In the center of Ceremonial Guard, a luxurious carriage pulled by four white Soul Beast horses stopped at the entrance of the square.
The door opened and Xue Ye stepped out of the carriage.
He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, an imperial crown on his head, and his face was majestic and calm.
Behind him were several personal guards and a burly general wearing dark gold armor, Ge Long.
Everyone stood up and bowed in salute.
Xue Ye slowly walked up to the high platform and sat down at the main seat on the high platform.
Ge Long stood behind him, his eyes scanning the entire audience like a hawk.
When his eyes swept across the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect area, he paused for a moment on Huang Yun.
The two people's eyes met across the crowd, and Ge Long's pupils shrank slightly, then moved away as if nothing had happened.
Huang Yun also noticed Ge Long.
The aura of level seventy-eight Soul Saint is thicker than a year and a half ago, and the ferocious aura of Yazi Martial Soul is looming under the armor.
The corner of his mouth curled up and he didn't say much.
Meng Shenji, as the leader of Three Education Committee Members, stood up and delivered a speech.
He reviewed Emperor Academy's journey in this competition, from the promotion round to Finals, from the quarterfinals to the championship, and described every game vividly and in detail.
When it came to the moment when Huang Yun temporarily joined Imperial Fighting Team and fought Spirit Hall Team alone, the audience burst into warm applause.
Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin also spoke respectively, giving high praise to Huang Yun's contribution.
Huang Yun sat in the audience with a calm expression.
He noticed that Xue Ye also nodded slightly on the high platform, obviously very satisfied with Three Education Committee Members's speech.
After the speech, Xue Ye stood up and walked slowly to the front of the high platform.
The whole place fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Xue Ye's gaze swept across the entire venue and finally landed in the direction of Huang Yun.
He spoke, his voice loud and clear, echoing throughout the square.
"This time Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament and Emperor Team represented Heaven Dou Empire and defeated Spirit Hall Team, winning the glory of the championship for our empire. Behind this glory, there is a name that must be mentioned."
He paused and looked at Huang Yun: "Huang Yun. At the age of fifteen, in the realm of Seven-Ring Soul Sage, with five blacks and two reds Soul Ring Configuration, fighting Spirit Hall Team alone in Finals, he has made great military exploits for our empire. I cannot but reward you for such merits."
The whole audience held their breath.
Xue Ye took out a piece of bright yellow silk from his sleeve, unfolded it and read aloud.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Huang Yun joins Emperor Team as a temporary employee in this Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament and wins the championship for the empire. After the Emperor Academy Three Education Committee Members recommended, Huang Yun is specially awarded to Huang Yun Emperor Academy The fourth position of Education Committee, I honor this."
There was a murmur of discussion in the whole place.
Education Committee, the fourth Education Committee of the Emperor Academy.
Although this position itself is not as conspicuous as a title, it means that Huang Yun has officially entered the official system of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Emperor Academy is the core of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. As the Education Committee, it enjoys extremely high courtesy and right to speak within the empire.
Huang Yun slightly arched his hands to accept the order.
Xue Ye did not let him back down, but continued to unfold another piece of silk.
His voice was louder than before, and every word fell clearly on every corner of the audience.
"Huang Yun, as the education committee member of the Emperor Academy, has made great military exploits for the empire. He is specially named Champion Marquis, hereditary, and has thousands of households in the city. He is given a Marquis Mansion, a number of Gold Soul Coin, and a number of silks and satins. I admire this."
The whole place was in an uproar.
"Champion Marquis! Fifteen-year-old Marquis!"
"Heaven Dou Empire is the youngest Marquis since the founding of the People's Republic of China!"
"First the Education Committee, then Marquis, your Majesty is tying him to the empire step by step!"
Discussions surged like a flood.
Xue Ye closed the silk and looked at Huang Yun, with a hint of emperor-specific gentleness in his tone. "Huang Yun, step forward to receive the order."
Huang Yun was stunned. He didn't expect that Xue Ye would give him the title of Marquis, or Champion Marquis.
This is a very high-level person, and it can be said that it is very impressive.
Very pleased with it, he liked it very much.
Huang Yun stood up from his seat and walked slowly onto the high platform under the gaze of everyone.
His steps were calm, his face was calm, and he didn't show any signs of losing his composure because he was named Marquis.
Walking in front of Xue Ye, he slightly cupped his hands and was about to salute.
Xue Ye waved his hand and said with a smile, "No gift. You are my Champion Marquis, so you don't need to give this big gift."
Huang Yun straightened up and looked into Xue Ye's eyes.
The distance between the two was less than three steps. Xue Ye looked at this young face carefully, with complex emotions surging in his eyes.
The little thief who stole the national treasure a year and a half ago now stood in front of him to accept the reward of Marquis.
There's nothing better than this when fortune plays tricks on people.
But Xue Ye didn't show anything on his face. He just handed the two pieces of silk into Huang Yun's hands with a gentle tone. "Champion Marquis, Heaven Dou Empire will be your backing from now on. If you need anything, just ask."
Huang Yun took the silk and nodded. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Two short sentences, but enough for everyone present to understand that Champion Marquis is Heaven Dou Empire's person.
After the awards were given, the ceremony entered into the banquet session.
Everyone exchanged cups and cups, and the atmosphere was lively.
Huang Yun was sitting in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's seat, and Ning Rongrong was introducing to him the leading figures from all the forces present.
At this moment, a burly figure walked up to him.
Ge Long was holding a wine glass and standing in front of Huang Yun's table, his dark golden armor glowing with a cold luster in the sun.
His face is rough, his eyes are sharp, and there is Yazi Martial Soul's unique sinister aura lingering around him.
The surrounding discussions gradually died down, and everyone looked over.
Ge Long looked at Huang Yun and said in a direct and magnanimous tone, "Champion Marquis, in the previous battle, I failed to fight with all my strength. Now that you and I are both Seven-Ring Soul Sage, I want to find an opportunity to fight you again."
