Chapter 113 An Extraordinary Reward
“That’s right!” An elderly man with white hair, dressed in royal attire and holding a scepter, slowly walked over from the side.
Four rows of guards followed closely behind him, with Baili Qian, Gu Yuxing, and Han Xue also following behind the white-haired old man.
Once the old man had stopped, Baili Qian slowly said, "Ahem, children, this is Prince Xueyu of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Greetings, Prince Xueyu—" Qian Yuhan and the others naturally understood the high status of the old man before them. He was second only to the emperor in the entire Tiandou Empire, so they naturally had to show him the proper respect.
Several people bowed and clasped their hands in greeting.
Prince Xueyu waved his hand gently and said, "Children, I've already heard about your situation from City Lord Baili. You were all excellent; you can be considered heroes in resolving this beast tide crisis in Yelin City—"
"Therefore, children, you will be awarded the Imperial Royal Third-Class Medal."
Baili Qian was also shocked after hearing Prince Xueyu's words. You must know that the "Imperial Royal Third-Class Medal" is one of the top awards in the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Heaven Dou Empire has three main levels of rewards, from lowest to highest: Popular Honor, City Glory, and the highest Royal. Each level is further divided into three sub-levels, with level three being the lowest and level one the highest. Those who obtain the City Glory level medal can enjoy the highest privileges in all cities except Heaven Dou City, while those who obtain the Royal level medal can practically roam freely throughout the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Fewer than five people in the Heaven Dou Empire have ever received the Royal First-Class Medal. Rumor has it that a minor member of the royal family offended one of these five and was directly expelled from the royal family by His Majesty Xue Ling of the Heaven Dou Empire! This shows just how prestigious this royal-level medal is.
Of course, obtaining a Royal Medal is extremely difficult.
But now, how could they not be shocked upon hearing that Prince Xueyu was going to award Qian Yuhan and the others with royal-level medals? Even someone like him, who had established countless merits on the battlefield, achieved the title of Title Douluo, and protected his country for decades, had only received a royal-level medal once. These little ones, the oldest of whom, Ouyang Luoxue, was only ten and a half years old, yet they had already received such an honor—it was simply, simply, unbelievable.
Qian Yuhan and the others were naturally not quite clear about the value of this reward, but he had already noticed the shocked expression on Baili Qian's face after hearing the news and judged that this reward must be very extraordinary!
"I heard from Baili that you are exchange students sent by the Spirit Hall Academy?"
Qian Yuhan nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, Director Han is the teacher in charge, and he is leading us to Tiandou City to complete the exchange."
Han Xue stepped out from next to Baili Qian, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am the teacher in charge of the team."
Prince Xueyu nodded and said, "Thank you again for giving our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy this opportunity for exchange. Please convey my gratitude to Dean Han. Rest assured, these children will receive the highest level of training during their years of study at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Please be assured of that."
Upon hearing Prince Xueyu's words, Han Xue was momentarily at a loss for words: "Han Xue understands. Han Xue will certainly convey His Highness's words and also wishes the cooperation and exchange plan between our two academies a success."
"Well, you should rest well today. Tomorrow you will come with me to Heaven Dou City!" Prince Xueyu said. "I will have Baili call you then. I still need to visit other supporting Soul Masters and suffering people, so I will take my leave now."
Han Xue stepped forward and stood beside Qian Yuhan and the others, leading them in a bow and saying, "Respectfully seeing off His Majesty the Prince!"
Prince Xueyu walked slowly past Qian Yuhan, then suddenly stopped. Qian Yuhan looked at Prince Xueyu in confusion, and following his gaze, she saw that he was staring at Ouyang Luoxue behind her.
"Luo Xue, what are you doing here?"
“Uncle Yu, Luo Xue came to the Yelin City Lantern Festival yesterday. You’ve come every year, haven’t you? This year she met some friends and had this kind of thing happen.” Ouyang Luo Xue replied with a smile.
Han Xue: Wow, this young lady Ouyang has quite an extraordinary background. Is she also a member of the royal family? And so familiar with Prince Xueyu?
"Oh, right, right, Uncle, I'm getting senile, I didn't even notice you just now. Are you alright?"
Ouyang Luoxue shook her head to indicate that she hadn't suffered anything serious.
"Yes, go back with your uncle tomorrow too. Your father seems to have gone out on business a few days ago. I'll be going to the Ice God Sect after I get back, so I can take you back safely on the way."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Good child, Uncle will go and get busy now. You should rest well."
"Okay, goodbye, Uncle."
"Goodbye."
Prince Xueyu then walked past the crowd and continued his work of comforting and consoling people.
Baili coughed twice, promptly waking Han Xue, who was still lost in thought, and then followed Prince Xueyu away.
Han Xue came to her senses and said to everyone, "Kids, let's go back to the hotel and rest. Luckily, the hotel we're staying at wasn't affected by the beast tide, and everything is intact. Get some rest and we'll set off for Tiandou City tomorrow morning."
“Okay!” the group replied.
"Um, Miss Ouyang, where do you live?" Han Xue asked, looking at Ouyang Luoxue and the guard beside her.
Ouyang Luoxue replied with a smile, "Teacher Han, we're the same."
"Really? What a coincidence! Let's go back and rest—"
……
Time flew by and it was noon.
After delivering Zhao Ke to the Spirit Hall's medical center and giving him instructions, the Time-Space Douluo rushed to the Spirit Hall's council hall for a meeting.
Previously, she had informed Golden Crocodile Douluo of what had happened in Yelin City. Golden Crocodile Douluo was shocked upon learning of it, so he went directly to find Shao Hui that morning.
"Sister Luo Ya is back," Shao Hui said.
Although Shao Hui is the nominal highest leader of the Spirit Hall, he was personally trained by Qian Mo and was naturally very familiar with several of the elders, addressing each other as brothers and sisters in private. Today, there are only six elders and himself in this council hall, so they naturally address each other as brothers and sisters in private.
"Hmm." Time-Space Douluo nodded.
"Sister Luo Ya, tell me, I heard an elder from the Elder Hall mention this morning that something happened in Yelin City on the Tian Dou side. Was it really those guys who did it?" Shao Hui said, sitting in the main seat.
"It must be them," replied the Time-Space Douluo.
Even the usually gentle and refined Third Elder, Azure Phoenix Douluo, slammed his fist on the table in rare anger, shouting, "These bastards! They actually dared to do such a thing! They've brought a beast tide into the city, what will happen to the people inside?! They're utterly despicable!"
"Furthermore, I noticed that the corpses of the beast tide soul beasts in the city had their patterns on them. I guess they must have been subjected to some kind of secret magic."
"A secret technique?" Shao Hui asked.
The Fifth Elder, Guangling Douluo, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "So it must be those guys. Brother Shao Hui, have you forgotten the Soul Beast Forest riot that you were suppressed by Big Brother more than ten years ago?"
"You mean the time the teacher went to Sunset?" Shao Hui replied in a low voice after thinking for a moment.
"Yeah, didn't Big Brother say the same thing after he came back? He told us to be wary of this organization. I never expected that after disappearing for more than ten years, they would reappear now," said Guangling Douluo.
The Time-Space Douluo continued, "And do you still remember that guy I was ordered to hunt down more than ten years ago, Nobas?"
Guangling Douluo said, "How could I not remember? Back then, I was seriously injured and you were chasing me. I even mocked you for a long time, hahaha, a Title Douluo couldn't catch an 89th-level Soul Douluo with a sliver of health—"
"Let's get down to business. Lightfeather, Nobas has joined that organization too, and he's even broken through to level 95!"
"What?!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
