Yao Xi's mesmerizing eyes moved away from Ye Futian with a smile. It was just right, able to leave ripples in the hearts of others without seeming rude.
She looked at Xiao Sheng and smiled softly. "You flatter me, Young Master Xiao. Goddess Fengxiao of Lihen Heaven is also here. Whether I come or not does not affect the scenery here. Moreover, Lady Gongsun of Divine Cloud Valley should also be here today."
Everyone naturally knew who Yao Xi was referring to. The sisters of the Gongsun clan of Divine Cloud Valley were rare beauties.
"You'll have to ask Brother Gongsun," Xiao Sheng looked at Gongsun Zhong of Divine Cloud Valley and said.
"They may already be here." Gongsun Zhong said, "However, today is Old Man Xiao's birthday banquet, so the Imperial Concubine should be there. If Imperial Concubine Xiao and the Princess come in person, we will only be the background. Who is qualified to steal the Imperial Concubine and the Princess's glory?"
Everyone nodded their heads. They naturally agreed with this.
Queen Xiao was the number one beauty of Emperor Xia's Realm.
Although the Princess liked to dress as a man and no one had ever seen her as a woman, her appearance was still outstanding and extremely beautiful. Coupled with her status as a Princess, the most eye-catching woman in Emperor Xia's Realm in the future would definitely be Princess Xia Qingyuan. No one could steal her limelight, not even Yao Xi, the Virgin of Yaotai.
Mo Wen of Tianji Pavilion sat quietly and listened to everyone's conversation. Although it was just a simple conversation, he was able to pick up a lot of information.
Tianji Pavilion claimed to know everything about Emperor Xia's Realm. No one present knew more about Emperor Xia's Realm than Mo Wen.
He even knew about Emperor Xia's affair all those years ago. It was just that no one dared to mention it. Regarding the secrets of Emperor Xia, not to mention those present, even for him, his teacher had told him in secret, reminding him which people in Emperor Xia's Realm he should not touch. That was the foundation of the Tianji Pavilion's continued existence.
Back then, the Goddess of Yaotai had lost to Queen Xiao. Yao Xi probably had no hope of beating Xia Qingyuan.
Moreover, in the conversation just now, Gongsun Zhong's words were somewhat inappropriate. After all, Yao Xi was also a beautiful woman with outstanding looks and talent. Although it was not a compliment, it was somewhat unfriendly to use the Queen and the Princess to pressure Yao Xi. But if one thought about the ambitions of Divine Cloud Valley, it was not difficult to understand.
"Please take a seat, Goddess Yao Xi," Xiao Sheng said with a smile.
Yao Xi nodded gently. She looked around at the seats around her and then walked in one direction with light steps. She quickly took a seat, which made many look surprised.
There were quite a few seats there, but Yao Xi did not sit in any of the main seats. Instead, she chose to sit next to Ye Futian, which was not too far away. There were better seats elsewhere.
While this move was inconsequential, everyone still looked puzzled, wondering if Yaoxi's move was intentional or not.
"I'm Yao Xi from Yaotai Divine Palace. I've long heard of Mister Ye's name. Now that I've seen you in person, you're just as peerless as I imagined." After Yao Xi took her seat, her beautiful eyes were as lively as autumn water. She nodded slightly at Ye Futian. Her voice was as gentle as water, and it seemed to be able to melt a man's heart and seep into his heart. Every frown, smile, and action of hers was enough to make one's heart beat faster.
Ye Futian looked at Yao Xi with some surprise. He was a little puzzled by her attitude toward him.
Whether it was his talent or his looks, he was extremely confident in himself. However, he did not think that he was enough to make a woman like Yao Xi fall in love with him at first sight, or that she would fall in love with him just because of his reputation. Such cliché stories were only written in books and would not actually happen.
Before, Fengxiao had deliberately asked Xiao Sheng to introduce the identities of everyone present in order to put pressure on him. She wanted to tell him that everyone there, no matter who it was, was more outstanding than him, the valet of the princess.
Ye Futian himself had to admit that. After all, it was a gathering of the outstanding juniors of the top forces in Emperor Xia's Realm.
Yao Xi herself was from Yaotai Divine Palace, and there was no need to say much about her noble status. She was showing goodwill to him the moment she arrived, which seemed rather unusual.
But no matter what the reason was, Yao Xi was willing to show goodwill, and he naturally would not be unreasonable.
"Goddess, you flatter me. I am but a common man, so how can I live up to the reputation of a goddess? Although this is the first time I've seen you, when it comes to your outstanding looks, few women I've ever seen can surpass you," Ye Futian replied with a smile.
"If you say so, then there is still someone who can surpass you. I wonder who it is that is so outstanding?" Yao Xi's voice was delicate and gentle, captivating. That look of resentment in her eyes was enough to make one unable to extricate themselves from it.
"My wife," Ye Futian replied simply. Yao Xi's beautiful eyes froze for a moment, and there was a moment of absent-mindedness. It was obvious that she was surprised by the answer.
She had thought that Ye Futian would say Xia Qingyuan. After all, Ye Futian was named the valet of the princess, and he naturally knew Xia Qingyuan.
But she did not expect such an answer, especially when he was talking about his wife in front of such a peerless beauty like her. She naturally understood the meaning behind it, and it made her feel a sense of defeat.
But she quickly put those thoughts aside, and her beautiful eyes still wore a gentle smile.
"I heard that Lord Ye once broke through the Jiutian Ranking for a friend and destroyed Pei Qianying's Life Spirit, and was unparalleled in the Lower Worlds. Yu Sheng also defeated Lu Cheng of Lihen Heaven, and now the people of Emperor Xia's Realm say that as long as Wang Chuan of Lihen Heaven does not leave the mountain, no one below the Saint Plane will be able to defeat Lord Ye." Yao Xi smiled and asked, "What do you think, Lord Ye?"
"Although I don't know who Wang Chuan is, it doesn't matter if he leaves the mountain or not," Ye Futian replied with a smile. He was very calm, and what he meant was that if Wang Chuan left the mountain, no one below the Saint Plane of Lihen Heaven would be able to compare to him.
"Boasting shamelessly."
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, and you talk nonsense."
As soon as Ye Futian's voice fell, angry voices were heard. It was naturally the cultivators of Lihen Heaven. Fengxiao and Mo Li also stared at Ye Futian, their eyes cold.
Brother Wang Chuan was recognized as the Pinnacle below the Saint Plane of Lihen Heaven.
Even in Lihen Heaven, there were elders who said that there were two planes below the Saint Plane. Wang Chuan was alone in one plane, and the others were in the other. It was obvious that they thought highly of Wang Chuan, and even someone as powerful as Lu Cheng had to go up to the 33rd Layer of Heaven to ask for advice from Wang Chuan.
Not to mention Lihen Heaven, even looking at the entire Emperor Xia's Realm, how many below the Saint Plane were qualified to fight Wang Chuan?
Ye Futian dared to say that Brother Wang Chuan would be the same even if he left the mountain. His tone was arrogant, and he did not take Wang Chuan seriously at all. One could only imagine how the swordsmen of Lihen Heaven felt.
Yao Xi and the others who were present also showed a strange look and looked at Ye Futian with some surprise. Obviously, they did not expect Ye Futian to answer like that. There was no hesitation at all, as if he did not take the cultivators of Lihen Heaven seriously at all.
Since Ye Futian arrived, he had been behaving well, sitting there quietly. Yao Xi talked to him, and they had only exchanged a few words.
However, the first time they talked about cultivation, it was earth-shattering, and it made the cultivators of Lihen Heaven want nothing more than to take their swords and fight.
Ye Futian's eyes did not waver at all. He was extremely calm, as if he had just said something insignificant.
He naturally knew that his words would cause a stir, but he did not care. Lihen Heaven sent cultivators to encircle Wuchen, and after they were defeated, the Sword Saint of Liyang attacked and injured Yu Sheng.
As such, he very much hoped that the so-called Wang Chuan of Lihen Heaven would leave the mountain, and he would not mind if he appeared that day.
Lihen Heaven was a force to be reckoned with. Ye Futian was only able to destroy Jueying Palace, but he was still far from being able to shake Lihen Heaven. However, if the disciples of Lihen Heaven were to come looking for him, it would be a different story.
"If you're not going to fight, then please shut up." Ye Futian looked at the cultivators of Lihen Heaven who had shouted, and he still responded casually, "If you want to fight, you can choose who you want. Of course, if my disciples are not up to par, and it is a Saint who fights, then I will not entertain you."
Obviously, he was referring to the last time the Sword Saint of Liyang had fought.
As expected, as soon as he finished, the people of Lihen Heaven and their affiliated forces quieted down, looking at Ye Futian coldly. They had nothing to say about that battle, and it was indeed a stain on Lihen Heaven's name.
Yao Xi looked at Ye Futian's handsome profile and was rather surprised. She did not expect the seemingly gentle white-haired young man to be so sharp with his words. With just a few simple words, he was able to make the people of Lihen Heaven look angry.
"In the last battle, Lu Cheng was defeated, and Uncle-Master Liyang acted to save his life. While it was inappropriate, he did not intend to kill Yu Sheng. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sit here. You boast that you are unparalleled in the Nine States, and while your talents are extremely outstanding, you are arrogant and think that you are invincible. You have underestimated the cultivators of the Upper Worlds," Mo Li said as he practiced the guqin. As such, his temperament was a bit gentler, and his voice remained calm.
"So we should thank the saints of Lihen Heaven for not killing us?" Xu Que, who was beside Ye Futian, smirked and looked at Mo Li. "So what if you acted to save your disciple's life? Before, the swordsmen of Lihen Heaven did not show any mercy to the three of us. They only allowed people of Lihen Heaven to kill, and if we were defeated, the Saint would make a move. I have learned a thing or two from the number one holy land of swordsmanship. "
"I have never said that I am invincible, but if the Saint does not come out, I can flatten Lihen Heaven. Do you believe me?" Ye Futian looked at Mo Li and said.
As his voice fell, sword will circled around the swordsmen of Lihen Heaven. Some even stood up, seemingly unable to take it anymore.
Ye Futian's words were simply an insult to the number one holy land of swordsmanship in Emperor Xia's Realm.
If the Saint did not come out, would he be able to flatten them?
The others looked at Ye Futian quietly. Many of them were top-notch figures below the Saint Plane, and when they heard what Ye Futian said, they had some thoughts in their minds.
"While Lu Cheng of Lihen Heaven is also on the Jiutian Ranking, he is not a top-notch figure. As far as I know, Lu Cheng is not even worthy of being compared to Wang Chuan in Lihen Heaven." At this time, Gongsun Zhong of Divine Cloud Valley looked at Ye Futian and said calmly, "Moreover, Wang Chuan swept away all the pinnacle sages of Lihen Heaven two years ago. Now he probably has one foot in the Saint Plane. Are you sure you can defeat him?"
