More than ten years ago, Ye Futian had returned to Qingzhou City once. After that, there was news about him from Donghai City.
Feng Qingxue crossed the sea and left Qingzhou City. At that time, she already knew that Ye Futian had long been famous. He could decide who the emperor of the Nandou Nation would be with one word.
At that time, he was still so young, but he was already famous.
She had thought that Ye Futian would lead an even more glorious life.
Even if they had forgotten each other, she still felt gratified when she thought of how high he could fly. She no longer had any fantasies of marrying someone.
But why, after more than ten years, did she see him again in such a situation?
Why, why did that peerless figure, whose name shook the world, have a head full of silver hair?
At this moment, she truly understood the artistic conception of the music. It was so cheerful, but so sad.
If she had known that it would be like this when they met again, she would have rather not seen him.
Feng Qingxue never dreamed that the handsome young man with white hair by Qingzhou Lake would be Ye Futian.
What on earth had he experienced? Why did he look like this?
She clearly did not know anything, but her heart ached slightly. Tears wet her face.
"Qingxue." Yang Xiu looked at Feng Qingxue with a blank expression. Why did Feng Qingxue have such a big reaction when she saw this young man? Could it be that they knew each other?
Feng Qingxue still looked at the white-haired young man as if she did not hear his voice.
As if sensing something, the white-haired young man raised his head slightly and glanced at her boat. His deep eyes were as calm as stagnant water, without a trace of emotion. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes. The white-haired young man nodded gently at her, then turned and walked away.
Feng Qingxue wanted to say something, but when she saw him leave, she could not say a word. Tears flowed uncontrollably. As a married woman, her state of mind was already extremely firm. She was no longer the young girl she used to be. But at this moment, in this situation, it seemed that only tears could express her emotions.
"Why did you do this?" Feng Qingxue whispered as she looked at the gradually disappearing figure. She actually knelt down in tears, looking very helpless.
Why did a young, famous, and peerless figure become like this?
He did not belong to Qingzhou City at all.
Many people noticed Feng Qingxue, and many of them had a strange look on their faces. Feng Qingxue and Yang Xiu were quite famous in the City of Qingzhou, and many people knew them. Why was Feng Qingxue so sad just by looking at the young man?
Could it be her former lover?
The music played by the white-haired young man seemed to reveal such an artistic conception.
If it was like this, wouldn't it embarrass Yang Xiu?
Yang Xiu knelt down with Feng Qingxue and hugged her gently. She whispered, "Is it him?"
He had pursued Feng Qingxue for five years, so he knew about her past. He knew that there was someone in her heart, the unattainable genius.
Feng Qingxue nodded gently. Yang Xiu's heart was slightly shaken. He did not expect the mysterious man on the shore of Qingzhou Lake to be the most legendary figure in Qingzhou City. The funny thing was that the people of Qingzhou City only treated him as a joke. If they knew who he was, what would the people of Qingzhou Lake think?
The legendary figure of Qingzhou City had returned with a head full of white hair. Yang Xiu's heart was also slightly unsettled. What on earth had happened?
Feng Qingxue did not spread the news, and Ye Futian's peace was not broken. He lived every day as usual.
However, when he came to the shore of Qingzhou Lake the next day, Feng Qingxue was already there on a small boat. In addition to Feng Qingxue, there was another familiar figure.
Qin Yi, like Feng Qingxue, had always been at Qingzhou Academy, and she was still alone.
She still had the sexy figure of the past, but she was no longer immature. She had a heroic spirit, but when she saw Ye Futian with a head full of white hair, that heroic spirit instantly disappeared. Although she had heard about it from Feng Qingxue, when she saw Ye Futian with her own eyes, her beautiful eyes instantly turned red.
When Ye Futian saw Qin Yi, he sighed in his heart. Today, he finally stopped playing the guqin. He stepped onto the boat and stood at the very front.
"Senior Sister, Qingxue," Ye Futian called softly. A gentle breeze blew past, and his silver hair flew in the air. Ye Futian, who had a head full of silver hair, looked a little older than before. At a glance, it was as if one could see the story behind him. But if it was his appearance, it was no less than before. In fact, it even added a bit of a different feeling.
But for Qin Yi and Feng Qingxue, they only saw sadness.
Qin Yi looked at Ye Futian's smile. She lowered her head slightly and turned her head away, as if she could not bear to see him at this moment.
Ye Futian had come back alone, and his hair had turned white. The legendary girl of Qingzhou Academy was no longer by his side. She could vaguely guess what had happened, and her heart ached even more. She was so beautiful, so outstanding, like the embodiment of perfection. Back then, only she and Ye Futian looked like a couple when they were together.
"Jieyu left." Ye Futian seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him. His tone was extremely calm, and one sentence seemed to overshadow everything else.
Qin Yi's tears continued to fall. She still did not look at Ye Futian. Instead, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. After she had calmed down, she turned around and looked up at his eyes and white hair.
There was a faint smile in his eyes, but it seemed so sorrowful.
Qin Yi knew that no matter what she said, it would be meaningless. She did not say anything, nor did she want to say anything. She just walked up quietly and gently hugged Ye Futian.
Ye Futian's body stiffened, then he smiled and hugged Qin Yi back. There was a faint warmth in his body.
For some people, no matter how long they had not seen each other, a look, a greeting, a hug, and time seemed to go back. It was as if their relationship had never changed.
"How long are you going to stay in Qingzhou City?" Qin Yi asked softly.
"I don't know. Maybe for the rest of my life," Ye Futian said with a smile. If he was going to be buried in Qingzhou City, then it would be for the rest of his life.
"Yes, I will stay with you for as long as you stay," Qin Yi said softly.
Ye Futian smiled gently. After so many years, Qin Yi was still the same Qin Yi. She had not changed at all.
"Senior Sister, no wonder you can't get married like this." Ye Futian seemed to be in a better mood and joked.
"Then I won't get married," Qin Yi said softly.
At this time, everyone at Qingzhou Lake saw this scene and was shocked.
Qin Yi's reputation in Qingzhou City was even greater than Feng Qingxue's. She was not only the vice dean of Qingzhou Academy but also the daughter of General Qin. For many years, countless outstanding men had pursued her, but she had never looked at them.
But today, on the boat, she took the initiative to hug the white-haired young man.
Feng Qingxue also seemed to have a special relationship with him. Yang Xiu did not even mind at all. This was simply strange. Many people were guessing who this white-haired man was.
Soon, a shocking piece of news spread. Finally, someone recognized Ye Futian. This handsome young man with white hair by the Qingzhou Lake was the all-powerful Ye Futian from more than ten years ago. With a single word, he could end the throne of the Nandou Nation.
A legend had returned but had a head full of white hair. Many people sighed.
This shocking news instantly swept through Qingzhou City. Countless people guessed what had happened to Ye Futian. He had returned to Qingzhou City with white hair and played the guqin by the lake all day.
Many people guessed that Ye Futian had caused a great disaster in the outside world and his cultivation had been destroyed by someone stronger and he had been banished back.
Some people also guessed that it might have something to do with Hua Jieyu.
Could it be that he had encountered a strong enemy in the outside world?
There were even some people with evil intentions who maliciously speculated that the legendary girl at Qingzhou Academy might have been kidnapped because she was too beautiful, causing Ye Futian to be heartbroken. His own cultivation had also been destroyed, causing his hair to turn white. He was a hero past his prime and returned to his hometown of Qingzhou City to live in seclusion.
Although not many people believed this theory, there was one point in it. Ye Futian's cultivation might have been destroyed, and he had gone into seclusion in his twilight years. This theory was accepted by many, and they speculated that this might be the case. As for Hua Jieyu, perhaps she had died, which was why Ye Futian was so sad.
Ye Futian did not seem to hear the voices of the outside world. He really did not care about these voices.
Perhaps it had become a habit. He still lived a regular life, repeating the monotonous routine every day.
However, every day when he went to Qingzhou City to play the guqin, Qin Yi would be there. Sometimes Feng Qingxue would go as well. In addition, General Qin, Uncle Feng, and some other old people would also be there.
Of course, there were even more people who listened to him play by the lake. The people of Qingzhou City all wanted to see the legendary figure of the past. However, because more than ten years had passed, some of the younger generation could only hear the legendary stories of the past from their elders.
Time passed without anyone noticing. On this day, Ye Futian's peace was finally broken.
In the courtyard where he lived, a dazzling sword will descended. Then, a divine sword and the figure of the college chief appeared in the courtyard. In addition, two people jumped off the divine sword.
Yu Sheng and Loulan Xue.
They had come with the Village Chief.
Hua Fengliu looked at the Village Chief. Since Yu Sheng and Loulan Xue had also left the Holy Zhi Palace, what about the Holy Zhi Palace?
"Emperor Xia summoned all the saints inside and outside the Holy Zhi Palace that day. All the saints went to the Upper Realm to see Emperor Xia," the Village Chief said. "I went as well."
"The ban has been lifted. All the holy lands of the Nine States can move freely," the Village Chief said to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian frowned and had a strange look on his face. The ban had been lifted just like that?
What about him?
"Emperor Xia ordered that no one from the holy lands who were present at the battle of the Holy Zhi Palace that day was allowed to spread a word. Otherwise, that holy land would disappear and be completely razed to the ground like Zhisheng Cliffs. The same goes for our Holy Zhi Palace," the Village Chief said.
Now, the entire Nine States was asking about the news of that battle. However, Emperor Xia had personally ordered that news of that battle be completely sealed. If it was leaked from any of the holy lands, Emperor Xia would wipe it out along with the holy lands.
The people of the Nine States still only knew the ending, not the process!
