Ye Futian took another look at Yu Sheng and then went to the place where Hua Fengliu and Masteress lived.
Hua Fengliu seemed to have aged a lot in just a few days. Nandou Wenyin's face was wrinkled and she looked very haggard.
When Ye Futian arrived, the two were playing the guqin. The music matched and their minds were connected. But from the music, Ye Futian could only hear a faint sadness.
Seeing Ye Futian walk over, the two of them stopped what they were doing and smiled at him. However, that smile still made Ye Futian feel a sense of desolation.
"Master, Masteress," Ye Futian lowered his head and called softly.
"Futian, how are your injuries?" Hua Fengliu asked.
"Much better." Ye Futian nodded.
"It's been 17 years since we left Qingzhou City," Hua Fengliu said softly. "I still remember that you carried me, a cripple, across the East Sea and back to Donghai City. You found your Masteress. It's been so long in the blink of an eye. Time really flies."
Ye Futian did not reply. In front of Hua Fengliu and Nandou Wenyin, he seemed to be the same youth.
"I've been away for so long and I miss home. Futian, your Masteress and I want to go back to Donghai," Hua Fengliu said softly. As soon as he said this, Ye Futian's eyes couldn't help but turn red. He knelt on the ground and lowered his head. "Master, I've been unfilial."
That year, he and Jieyu had gotten married on Book Mountain in the Eastern Barren Territory. They were the closest people to Hua Fengliu. Naturally, Hua Fengliu and Jieyu had come with them. Now, Hua Fengliu wanted to go back to Donghai. One could imagine how he felt.
"Futian." Nandou Wenyin went up to help Ye Futian up. She turned back to Hua Fengliu and scolded, "Futian has only just recovered. What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Masteress, I know." How could Ye Futian not understand Hua Fengliu and Masteress's feelings? They naturally did not blame him, but Jieyu was their life.
Hua Fengliu walked to Ye Futian's side and pulled him up. Then, he pulled him to sit on the ground and said, "Do you still remember that after Jieyu left, the two of us, master and disciple, depended on each other? Later, we went to Donghai City together. But now, my luck is better than yours. I still have your masteress and Aunt Tang. So, when Jieyu left, I know that you must be in more pain than I am."
"But no matter how painful it is, we have to get over it. Who did Jieyu leave for? If anything were to happen to you, you would be letting her down. At this time, you should pull yourself together. After all, you should know very well what awaits you. Promise Master and Masteress, which is also Jieyu's greatest wish, live well. "
Hua Fengliu knew some of Ye Futian's secrets. Of course, he knew what Ye Futian might be facing.
"Teacher, it's not like you don't understand. This time, I can only resign myself to fate." Ye Futian sat beside Hua Fengliu and said softly. Emperor Xia had sent people to guard the Holy Zhi Palace. If Emperor Xia wanted his life, not to mention now, even if he became a Saint, it would still be the same.
Hua Fengliu was silent for a moment when he heard Ye Futian's words. Then, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. He looked up at the distant sky and said in a low voice, "You said that you don't respect your master. Why would I take you as a disciple? You're a playboy, but you're not as handsome as I am. Why would I marry my daughter to you? It's just my bad luck to meet you."
"Yeah, why were you blind to fall for me back then? If you didn't take me as a disciple and marry Jieyu to me, how good would that have been?" Ye Futian also looked into the distance and said softly.
Nandou Wenyin saw the master and disciple sitting together in front of her and instantly burst into tears.
…
After a few more days, Ye Futian explained some things about the Holy Zhi Palace.
On this day, a sword flew into the sky and entered the Holy Zhi Palace. The cultivators sent by Emperor Xia appeared and blocked the sword that was about to leave. Xia Qingyuan walked over and her eyes fell on Ye Futian.
Other than Ye Futian, there was also the Village Chief, Hua Fengliu, Nandou Wenyin, and Tang Lan.
"I'm going to leave for a while. Princess, can you send someone with me?" Ye Futian looked at Xia Qingyuan and said indifferently. Then, he said to the Village Chief, "Let's go."
Xia Qingyuan looked at Ye Futian coldly. This b * stard.
The sword will rose into the air and left. The people around Xia Qingyuan all looked at her and heard her say, "Let him go. Send someone to follow him. Don't disturb him. Let him go wherever he wants."
"Yes." The people behind her nodded.
In the Holy Sage Pavilion of the Holy Zhi Palace, a few people looked up at the disappearing shadow of the sword. Yaya, Zhuge Mingyue, Gu Dongliu, and the others watched Ye Futian leave.
The others in the Holy Zhi Palace did not know the secret hidden in Ye Futian's heart. They had no idea what kind of situation Ye Futian was facing. They thought that it was just Emperor Xia investigating the Sacred War of the Nine States.
After the holy sword left the Holy Zhi Palace, it headed east. From Zhongzhou City to Divine Sky City, it passed by the Eastern Barren Territory, Book Mountain, Ancient Loulan … All the way east, it was the path that Ye Futian had taken when he came here.
Ye Futian didn't know when Emperor Xia would act against him. His fate was no longer in his control, so he didn't bring his master back. He wasn't fast enough, and he was worried that he would be taken back while he was on his way back. So he had the Village Chief escort him.
Entering the territory of the Hundred Lands, there were many familiar memories of Ye Futian. The Cangye Kingdom, the Nandou Nation, the holy sword went all the way into Nandou Donghai City. In the small city below, there was the Nandou clan and Donghai Academy. They were all memories of the past. Yi Xiang should still be the Headmaster of Donghai Academy.
However, he did not stay in Donghai City. Nandou Wenyin did not even go to the Nandou Nation Imperial Palace to see her brother, nor did she go to the Nandou clan. They passed by Donghai City and the holy sword entered the East Sea. It flew above the vast sea and went all the way to Qingzhou City.
This was the island where Ye Futian grew up. After leaving last time, he thought that he would never return.
"Village Chief, you should go back," Ye Futian said to the Village Chief when they reached the coast of Qingzhou City.
"Yes." The Village Chief nodded lightly. With a sword, he instantly disappeared from the world.
"Master, Masteress, where are we going to stay?" Ye Futian asked. "Qingzhou Academy has probably been occupied long ago. Should we go there?"
In the past, Hua Fengliu and Jieyu had lived together in Qingzhou Academy for three years. He watched Jieyu grow up there and naturally had special feelings for her.
"Let's not disturb others. Futian, you decide. Any place is fine," Hua Fengliu said. This time, Ye Futian had sent them back. He planned to stay with them and accompany them for the last few days. If Emperor Xia or Donghuang the Great wanted him to die, then he would die in Qingzhou City.
This was, after all, his hometown. It was not a bad choice to be buried here.
He hoped that it would not be like the Cottage where a group of people came and took him away.
"The scenery of Qingzhou Lake is not bad. Why don't we buy a house there?" Ye Futian said.
"It's up to you." Hua Fengliu did not have any objections. They came back to live in seclusion. They no longer wanted to experience the storms of the outside world.
Hua Jieyu's death was a huge blow to them.
"Okay." Ye Futian nodded. The group entered Qingzhou City directly.
Ye Futian had thought of returning to the Ye Clan, but it was bought by his father's good friend, Uncle Feng Ruhai. The last time he came back, Feng Qingxue stayed there. Ye Futian did not want to disturb her.
He did not want to disturb anyone. He only wanted to spend the next few days in peace.
Perhaps this could be the last part of his life. There was no need to disturb others.
Qingzhou City was very small to him, but it was still very big to the ordinary people who lived here, just like him in the past.
Very quickly, Ye Futian bought an elegant little courtyard by Qingzhou Lake. It was not big and was simple, but it was more than enough for the few of them.
After settling them down, Ye Futian moved chairs for Hua Fengliu and Nandou Wenyin in the simple courtyard and had them sit down. Tang Lan stood quietly by the side. Ye Futian handed her a chair and said, "Aunt Tang, you sit too."
"Okay." Tang Lan nodded. Ye Futian also sat down. He lay there lazily, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the sunlight.
"Futian." Tang Lan seemed to want to say something but stopped. Ye Futian smiled and asked, "Aunt Tang, what's wrong?"
Tang Lan looked at him and did not say anything. She shook her head. Although they were chatting and smiling, and there seemed to be no sadness at all, she could feel the desolation and sadness from the depths of their hearts.
All of this seemed to be hidden under the smiles.
"Futian, are you really going to stay here?" Nandou Wenyin asked.
"Yes, Masteress. I'll stay with Master and Masteress." Ye Futian nodded.
"If he likes it, let him be," Hua Fengliu said to Nandou Wenyin. Nandou Wenyin nodded.
Ye Futian opened his eyes and looked at the sky. Jieyu was not here anymore. He would spend this last period of time with Master and Masteress.
"Master, Masteress, I'm going out for a walk." Ye Futian got up.
"Okay." Hua Fengliu nodded.
Ye Futian got up and left. The breeze by Qingzhou Lake was slightly cold. He strolled casually, and before he knew it, he came to the place where he and Jieyu held hands.
By the lake, there were many people giggling. There were young boys and girls, and young lovers. It was like a painting.
The wind blew, and Ye Futian's body stood there like a statue. There was always a faint smile in his eyes.
He did not know how long he stood there. The sky turned red, and then the sun set, and night fell.
The night view by Qingzhou Lake was even more beautiful. Pleasure boats came and went, and there were fireworks from time to time. They were set off by the tourists on the boats. They enjoyed the beautiful scenery and laughed.
Ye Futian looked at the fireworks, and his eyes were a little dazed. Time seemed to have traveled back to that day 18 years ago. The two of them held hands by the lake, and they stood where he was now, looking at the sky full of fireworks. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
That year, she held his hand, looked at the sky full of fireworks, and asked if they were in a relationship.
That year, the fireworks were too beautiful.
That year, she was even more beautiful.
As she smiled, a tear rolled down her cheek.
The wind blew, lifting his clothes and long hair. At this moment, half of his black hair was white!
