Chapter 151: Keep working hard, and I will give you Nottingham as my fiefdom in the future
In an instant, as Emperor Xue Ye uttered those words, the previously harmonious and joyful atmosphere solidified.
Upon hearing this, everyone swallowed the words of congratulation and flattery they had been about to speak.
Then, with faces full of horror, they looked at the Crown Prince and Prince Xue Xing, who were seated on either side of Emperor Xue Ye.
At the same time, Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng, who were seated on the other side of Emperor Xue Ye, along with the nobles beside them, all looked at their Emperor with shocked and astonished expressions.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, who were seated further to the left, also frowned slightly after hearing Emperor Xue Ye say this.
Even they hadn't expected that Emperor Xue Ye would so quickly offer a Baron title to win over the genius Sun Yu.
One must know, Sun Yu was currently only a ten-year-old child, a ten-year-old Baron.
And a Baron promoted directly from commoner status.
This was an unprecedented achievement in the history of the Heaven Dou Empire.
However, unlike the grave and astonished expressions of others,
When Crown Prince Xue Qinghe heard this news, he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At the same time, he suppressed his laughter and excitedly shouted in his heart,
"Yes, this is too right! Continue, just keep giving! It would be best to directly cultivate Sun Yu into the next Great General. By then, it will be even simpler for me to take over the Heaven Dou Empire..."
And just as Xue Qinghe was secretly excited in his heart, Prince Xue Xing, who had recovered his senses, immediately stood up and shouted,
"Your Majesty, absolutely not, Your Majesty! Sun Yu is just a ten-year-old boy, how can he bear the responsibility of a Baron?!"
"That's right, Your Majesty. Although Sun Yu's talent is unparalleled, his age is, after all, too young. Giving him the Baron title at such a young age is indeed too inappropriate."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Moreover, according to the law, the Baron position requires a Spirit Ancestor level expert to hold it. Sun Yu currently does not possess Spirit Ancestor level strength..."
For a moment, as Prince Xue Xing spoke,
Many people from the faction close to Prince Xue Xing spoke up to dissuade him.
And not long after these people began to dissuade, Xue Qinghe immediately stood up and said,
"Everyone, that's not right. Little Yu can break through to Spirit Elder at the age of ten. It's clear that breaking through to a mere Spirit Ancestor will only be a matter of these two years. Therefore, I think there's no difference between giving it early or late..."
"That still has to wait until Sun Yu's strength is sufficient! A Spirit Elder having the position of a Baron, and directly promoted from commoner status, with no merits whatsoever—how can such a Baron convince the public?"
Hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Prince Xue Xing retorted without reservation.
Xue Qinghe heard Prince Xue Xing's merciless words and was about to retort when he heard Emperor Xue Ye speak to stop them.
"Alright, alright, all of you stop arguing. Since there is such a great disagreement between your two sides, I will take a compromise approach: confer Sun Yu as a Baron and let him enjoy the treatment of a Baron.
However, he will not be granted a fief temporarily. Once his strength breaks through to Spirit Ancestor, then he will be granted a fief. This way, Sun Yu can continue to serve the Empire, and at the same time, it can give an explanation to the other nobles..."
At this moment, even Emperor Xue Ye himself hadn't expected that his mere tentative inquiry would directly ignite the conflict between Xue Xing and Xue Qinghe.
However, none of this was important. In Emperor Xue Ye's heart, cultivating a Titled Douluo for the Heaven Dou Imperial Family as early as possible was the most urgent task at hand.
And after Prince Xue Xing and Xue Qinghe heard Emperor Xue Ye's words, although both were somewhat unconvinced, they still chose to agree.
After all, for both sides, this was already the best outcome.
Continuing to argue would only anger Emperor Xue Ye.
Today was his birthday; making him angry at this time would be tantamount to seeking death...
However, overall, Xue Qinghe still gained the upper hand in today's commotion. Although Sun Yu did not have a Baron fief, he did enjoy the treatment of a Baron.
And after announcing this matter, the atmosphere at the scene immediately returned to one of joy, harmony, and perfection.
After thanking Emperor Xue Ye, Sun Yu immediately followed Xue Qinghe and retreated, returning to his original seat!
Then, he watched as others presented treasures to Emperor Xue Ye.
Xue Qinghe transmitted a message to Sun Yu.
"I didn't expect it, kid, you actually managed to get a Baron position so quickly..."
"By chance, by chance!"
"Don't just say 'by chance'. Your experiences and achievements during this period have all been seen by Xue Ye. Otherwise, he wouldn't have so decisively used the Baron position to win you over.
Keep it up, continue to work hard. When you truly break through to Spirit Ancestor and can receive a fief, I will have Xue Ye bestow Nuoding City and several surrounding villages as your fief. By then, your family's life will also be much better..."
Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Sun Yu's heart.
At the same time, he was quite grateful to Qian Renxue for thinking so far ahead for him.
And just as Xue Qinghe and Sun Yu were chatting with each other,
The gift-giving ceremony on the stage also quickly concluded.
After the gift-giving ceremony was completed, everyone could chat and eat to their heart's content.
Here, with the end of the gift-giving segment, Ning Fengzhi led Sword Douluo and slowly walked towards Xue Qinghe and Sun Yu...
And at the same time, everyone from the Royal Fight Team came along, as well as Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who was led by Dugu Yan...
"Old Sun, you're awesome! You're already a Baron so quickly! If you get rich in the future, don't forget us!"
As everyone arrived, Yu Feng, being an extrovert, spoke up without hesitation.
"Yu Feng, get down here! Didn't you see the Crown Prince is still here?"
Dugu Yan saw Yu Feng's recklessness and immediately shouted with an angry expression.
"Ah?! My apologies, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please forgive my impoliteness..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Feng quickly apologized.
"Hehe, no matter. Since your team members have something to discuss with him, I won't participate. Please feel free to do as you wish. Little Yu, I'll go elsewhere for now. You all take your time chatting!"
Xue Qinghe was quite happy to see Sun Yu so popular among the other members of the Royal Fight Team.
After nodding with a calm expression, he quickly left the spot.
"Yu Feng, Yu Feng, if I see you being so impolite again next time, I'll make you run twenty laps around the field!"
Sun Yu looked at the reckless Yu Feng and said with a dark line appearing on his forehead.
"Ah?! Old Sun, no, don't! Won't running too many laps damage the body's foundation?! You're trying to kill me!"
Yu Feng pleaded with a demanding expression.
"Hmph, it won't happen just once. Don't worry, this isn't exercise, but pure torment! Just to make you remember!"
Sun Yu glared fiercely at Yu Feng and said.
Listening to Sun Yu's blunt words, "pure torment," Yu Feng was immediately scared and quickly begged for mercy.
"Old Sun, my grandfather wants to talk to you. I wonder if you have time?"
Just as Yu Feng was begging for mercy, Dugu Yan looked at Sun Yu with a complex expression and slowly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Sun Yu then turned his head to look at Dugu Bo, who was not far behind Dugu Yan and was gazing at him.
He nodded slightly.
