I, Douluo, meet a businessman in an adventure, and when I meet, I will dominate the rankings!

Chapter 167 Rejection
Seeing Xueling, most people in the academy were full of respect.

This person not only holds an important position, but is also very powerful. He is a well-known figure in the aristocratic circle.

But Xueling didn't come here to be courteous to these people this time. He had told Chen Ye before that Emperor Xue Ye might want to see Chen Ye later.

Coming here at this time is obviously for this matter.

"Chen Ye, come with me."

Xue Ling looked at Chen Ye, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Chen Ye had nothing else to say, and followed Xue Ling out of the lounge.

Soon, the two came to a meeting room in the venue.

As for the people in the conference room, it was no surprise that Emperor Xue Ye and Mengshenji Education Committee were there.

"Your Majesty, Chen Ye has brought it."

Xue Ling clasped her fists like Emperor Xue Ye said, but everyone looked at Chen Ye together.

Logically speaking, as a commoner, Chen Ye needs to salute Emperor Xue Ye.

And this so-called salute, for the emperor, is naturally a kneeling salute.

But when he entered the room, Chen Ye was talking to Emperor Xue Ye a lot, without any intention of saluting.

"This Emperor Xue Ye, is he poisoned now?"

Chen Ye was curious, and wondered if Qian Renxue had already poisoned Emperor Xue Ye at this time?
"Chen Ye, are you still not polite?"

Seeing Chen Ye standing there in a daze, looking at Emperor Xue Ye like a curious baby, Xue Ling's tone immediately became serious.

"Ah, what gift?" Chen Ye asked subconsciously.

"You!" Xue Ling was furious, she had never seen such a rude person.

Even Mengshenji beside him was constantly giving Chen Ye winks.

But Chen Ye obviously didn't understand this kind of understanding. He might have guessed that Xue Ling said that he was rude because he didn't kneel down or something like that.

However, this kind of kneeling etiquette, for no reason, how could it be possible to kneel down for others?
"It's okay, it's okay." But Emperor Xue Ye didn't seem to care about this, he smiled and signaled Xue Ling not to do this.

"Chen Ye, your performance in the competition was very good.

This time, it was for the Tiandou Imperial Academy and the royal family to give them a long face. "

Hearing Emperor Xue Ye's praise, Chen Ye immediately cooperated and showed a bleak expression, "Your Majesty is serious, and I am also responsible."

"I heard from the Mengshenji Education Committee that you were sent to the academy by Qinghe, is there such a thing?" Emperor Xue Ye asked again.

"Yes, the crown prince sent me here." Chen Ye replied.

At the same time, I couldn't help thinking that Meng Shenji actually told Emperor Xue Ye about this kind of thing?

Doesn't this tell Emperor Xue Ye that Tiandou Imperial Academy's ability to cultivate talents is not good enough, and it still needs to rely on the outside world.

Moreover, doesn't this also expose the fact that the prince has good talents under his command?

But I heard Emperor Xue Ye continue to say, "Qinghe, this kid, has taken so much trouble. After finally recruiting a talent, he gave it to you for nothing."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mengshenji, which obviously meant that Mengshenji made a lot of money.

"In any case, Chen Ye, you have proved yourself with your strength and performance.

In addition, you have stabilized and recovered the loss of the last competition for the empire, so I decided to grant you the title of Earl, are you willing to accept it? "

"count!?"

Xue Ling on the side couldn't help but speak, this title was awarded directly, which was obviously too high.

"Yes, it's the Earl. How about it, Chen Ye, are you willing to accept it?"

"Chen Ye, why don't you thank me?" Xue Ling said from the side.

Now, Chen Ye finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hi, you're Xueling, right? It's Emperor Xue Ye who is talking to me now. May I ask what you mean by interrupting? Do you still see him as the emperor?"

"." Xueling was surprised, she never thought that she would be insulted like this.

"How I treat His Majesty is not something you, a little kid, can know and understand." Xue Ling snorted coldly.

"So you're just picking on me on purpose?" Chen Ye said coldly.

"You! I don't care." Xue Ling was furious. No one had ever dared to talk to herself like this.

But just as he was about to explode, Emperor Xue Ye yelled at him.

"Okay, what is this doing?"

Xue Ling also realized that she had lost her composure, and it was indeed he who interrupted first.

However, he still gave Chen Ye a warning look.

And Chen Ye naturally responded with a middle finger without showing any weakness.

Xue Ling didn't understand the meaning of this middle finger gesture.

But when Chen Ye made this action, he could clearly feel a sense of humiliation.

Obviously, this middle finger gesture is very insulting.

"Okay, Chen Ye, let's get back to the topic, the matter of titles"

"Your Majesty, I have a question. What are the benefits of this title?"

"Benefits?" Emperor Xue Ye was taken aback, there are still people who don't know the benefits of the title.

"The title can't help but be a symbol of status. At the same time, you can get a series of wealth such as fiefs. Moreover, the title is hereditary." Meng Shenji explained.

Chen Ye despised this kind of feudal dross in his heart. Doesn't the hereditary title mean that the descendants can be superior to others no matter whether they are good or bad, capable or not?
"What about the price?" Chen Ye asked curiously.

"The price? There is no price." Meng Shenji said incredulously, what price can there be for becoming an earl?
Isn't this kind of thing only good and no bad?
"What kind of responsibilities are you talking about? Naturally, it is necessary. As a nobleman, if the empire is in danger, you must stand up and stand with the empire.

At the same time, it is natural to accept the gap between titles and to be loyal to the empire. "

"I see."

Chen Ye understood now.

This thing is obviously not suitable for me.

Maybe others need it, but Chen Ye really doesn't.

He pursues the ultimate in strength, not the ultimate in status and power.

He still prefers to do things with one hand and pay for the business with one hand.

Like a mercenary.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye has already decided that he does not need this so-called title.

"Sorry, I don't think I can accept your kindness."

Chen Ye refused the title conferred by Emperor Xue Ye, which surprised the other three people in the room.

Emperor Xue Ye also felt a little embarrassed about his face, and given Chen Ye an earl, he also needed to bear a lot of pressure.

However, even so, Chen Ye still chose to refuse.

This made Emperor Xue Ye feel a little ashamed.

"Yeah, that's really a pity."

Emperor Xue Ye wanted to leave without a word, but after being rejected by Chen Ye, he just left without saying a word.

Without even saying hello, it could be seen that Chen Ye's refusal made the emperor a little angry.

At this time, only Xue Ling, Meng Shenji and Chen Ye were left in the room.
