"Yeah, even if they knew Ling Xiao wouldn't accept it, they should have asked, right? Bestowing it directly to someone else is just too dismissive of Ling Xiao."
"Exactly, no wonder he's angry. The Emperor has indeed been foolish in this matter."
"I've long heard that the Emperor and Ling Xiao are like fire and water. This is clearly a personal vendetta. Such an Emperor might not last long."
In the crowd, the discussion erupted again, just because of Ling Xiao's one sentence.
Then, Ji Luoyu suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I also cannot accept this title of Phoenix Son. I am not as good as Shangguan Hong, much less Ling Xiao. Receiving this title will only bring jeers."
Phoenix Immeasurable's expression was quite extraordinary.
Anger, displeasure, frustration.
He did not expect Ji Luoyu to disrespect him in public like this.
Because he didn't know that back in Crime City, during the Alchemy Conference, Ji Luoyu was already quite impressed with Ling Xiao.
