Speaking of which, Dai Mubai's face showed a look of admiration. "And all the teachers at our academy are Soul Masters who do not wish to seek protection under any power. In other words, before the academy was established, they were lone wolves. They cherish their freedom and despise any fetters. They are even disdainful of the nobility titles granted by the empire. Think about it, under such circumstances, what kind of income could they have?"
Xiaowu asked, "Why are they unwilling to accept the nobility titles provided by the empire? It seems like having a nobility title should come with a decent income. I remember that Soul Masters above level 30 can be awarded the title of baron by the empire, and level 40 is a viscount. Then there's nothing further."
