Gongsun Zhong's tone was very calm, and there was no way to tell whether he was happy or angry. He did not really like Ye Futian, but he was just a newly risen figure.
Although there were not many geniuses like him, Divine Cloud Valley did not need to care too much about them.
As the number one armorer force in Emperor Xia's Realm, the valley master and Emperor Xia had a relationship. Divine Cloud Valley did not need to care about anyone other than those top figures.
However, Ye Futian's display of arrogance made him rather displeased. While his talents were exceptional, he was still a cultivator from the Lower Worlds. Emperor Xia regarded him highly and made him the Princess' valet, so he should have known what he should and should not have done. He should have kept a low profile, entered Emperor Xia's Palace, and assisted the Princess with all his might. He should not have been spouting nonsense and targeting Lihen Heaven.
Lihen Heaven, as the number one swordsmanship force in Emperor Xia's Realm, naturally had a strong enough foundation. Even if Ye Futian was dissatisfied, he had no right to vent. Did he think that he could shake Lihen Heaven just because Emperor Xia valued him? He was just causing trouble for the princess.
Moreover, Wang Chuan of Lihen Heaven was not just for show. Gongsun Zhong was also known as one of the top figures below Saint Plane, but he did not dare to say that he could beat Wang Chuan.
Ye Futian looked down on Wang Chen and spoke arrogantly. Did that not mean that he could also beat all the top figures present?
That was why Gongsun Zhong asked.
Ye Futian looked at Gongsun Zhong and said calmly, "Not Wang Chuan, but everyone below Saint Plane in Lihen Heaven."
His plain voice caused Gongsun Zhong to stare at him. He was silent for a moment, and then a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone below Saint Plane in Lihen Heaven. But in reality, Ye Futian had never seen Wang Chuan and did not know how strong he was.
Did that mean that he was invincible below Saint Plane?
There was no need to consider the other's plane or strength. No one could beat him.
Ye Futian also looked away. He was targeting Lihen Heaven, but if Gongsun Zhong wanted to put himself in the shoes of Lihen Heaven, then he would not explain anything, and there was no need to explain. As for how Gongsun Zhong saw him, it had nothing to do with him.
"What are you guys talking about?" A woman's voice drifted over. Everyone turned around and saw two silhouettes walking over.
They were two women, and both of them were extremely beautiful. Both of them were top-notch women. The woman who spoke was slightly inferior to Yao Xi, but she was not far off. She could definitely be considered a peerless beauty.
The other woman was a little younger. Her eyes were clear, and she looked around the crowd. Soon, she looked in Ye Futian's direction, and a strange expression appeared on her face. However, she quickly returned to normal and did not look at him again.
Ye Futian seemed to have noticed the woman's gaze as well. He looked behind him and saw that his Fifth Brother, Luo Fan, also had a strange expression on his face. It was obvious that they knew each other.
"Back then, Gongsun Xuan also went out to train with the princess. At that time, I only knew that the princess took good care of her. I didn't expect her to be from the number one refining force in the Upper Worlds." Xu Que looked interested and said to Ye Futian telepathically, "Moreover, Luo Fan tried to flirt with her and tried to woo her, but she rejected him badly."
Ye Futian's face darkened. He knew that his Fifth Brother had a big mouth. Flirting with her was something that could have happened.
He did not ask about what happened in those years. What he knew most was what happened between Wuchen and Pei Qianying. As for other things that happened, he naturally did not know.
However, after training for several years, it was normal for them to have crossed paths with each other.
"Ni." Xiao Sheng looked at the woman who spoke. She was the daughter of Divine Cloud Valley, Gongsun Ni, who was also Gongsun Xuan's sister. These two sisters were extremely beautiful, and their talents were extraordinary.
"We're just having a casual chat. Brother Ye just said that he could crush everyone below Saint Plane in Lihen Heaven. If such a chance really exists, I'd like to broaden my horizons," Xiao Sheng said with a smile. He did not really believe Ye Futian's arrogant words.
Perhaps he was just trying to talk his way out of it.
Gongsun Ni looked in Ye Futian's direction with a calm expression. She did not know Ye Futian, so she naturally would not express her opinion. Instead, she said, "The birthday banquet is about to start. Should we go?"
"Alright." Xiao Sheng smiled and nodded. He looked around at everyone and said, "If there's a chance, I'd like to see you all spar with each other. Let's go to the banquet first."
He stood up as he said and made a gesture of invitation. Everyone stood up in an instant.
Xiao Sheng walked towards Gongsun Ni and said, "Let's go together."
Gongsun Ni nodded slightly. The Xiao clan was related to the emperor, and Divine Cloud Valley had a close relationship with Emperor Xia as well. As such, the two forces had always been close and would often interact with each other. She was naturally more familiar with Xiao Sheng.
Gongsun Zhong walked with him, but Gongsun Xuan did not keep up. She instead lagged behind.
Ye Futian and the others stood up and followed Xiao Sheng. The cultivators of Lihen Heaven stared coldly at his back. Many of them carried scabbards on their backs. It seemed to be some sort of habit, or perhaps they were proud of their swordsmanship.
When Brother Wang Chuan came down the mountain, he would naturally tell him to shut up.
"Shall we go together, Mr. Ye?" Yao Xi, who was beside Ye Futian, seemed to have been waiting for him. She smiled and asked him when he came.
"Sure." Ye Futian nodded and did not refuse. The two of them walked forward together. The white-haired young man was extraordinarily handsome, and Yao Xi's beauty was unparalleled. The two of them walking together was quite a sight to behold.
After a few steps, Ye Futian saw a beautiful figure standing there. It was Gongsun Xuan. Behind Ye Futian, Luo Fan shrunk his head, as if he had done something shameful.
"What, you don't recognize me anymore?" Gongsun Xuan asked coldly when she saw Luo Fan shrunk his head. "You didn't have the guts back then."
Luo Fan looked up and smiled at Gongsun Xuan. He said, "When I first saw you, Miss Gongsun, I felt that you were a dragon among men. I didn't expect you to be from Divine Cloud Valley of the Upper Worlds. No wonder your rule power of fire is as pure as fire."
Ye Futian saw the attitudes of the two of them and understood that there was no big conflict between them. He walked away and did not bother with his fifth brother.
Gongsun Xuan took a long look at Luo Fan and said, "I didn't expect you to come to the Upper Worlds to train. There has been a lot of news about Ye Futian and Yu Sheng these days. Do you belong to the same force? Why didn't I see the two of them in the previous trials? "
"Little Brother and Yu Sheng are extremely talented. It doesn't matter even if they don't go to the trial," Luo Fan said.
"Little Junior Brother?" Gongsun Xuan looked confused. The two of them chatted as they walked.
"Yes." Luo Fan nodded. "Among the Cottage disciples, Youngest Brother is ranked last. You've met Eldest Brother, Second Sister, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother."
Gongsun Xuan nodded. She had indeed met all the people from the Lower Worlds who had gone to the trial with Luo Fan, but she was not familiar with them.
"Xuan." In front of them, Gongsun Zhong and Gongsun Ni saw that Gongsun Xuan had fallen behind and was chatting with Luo Fan. Gongsun Zhong called out to her.
"I'm over." Gongsun Xuan said to Luo Fan. Luo Fan nodded. Then, Gongsun Xuan quickened her pace and walked past Ye Futian's group, meeting up with Gongsun Zhong's group.
"You know him?" Gongsun Zhong asked.
"I met him during the trial a few years ago," Gongsun Xuan said.
"Just greeting him is enough. Don't come into contact with him in the future," Gongsun Zhong reminded. Gongsun Zhong reminded them. As the proud daughters of Divine Cloud Valley, be it Gongsun Ni or Gongsun Xuan, their men would be the top figures in Emperor Xia's Realm in the future, be it family background, talent in cultivation, or looks.
For example, Xiao Sheng was interested in Gongsun Ni, and Gongsun Zhong would not say anything. Xiao Sheng and Gongsun Ni were indeed a good match, and Gongsun Zhong hoped that the two of them could be together.
Who was Luo Fan?
How dare the daughter of Divine Cloud Valley have thoughts about him?
Furthermore, Ye Futian's previous words had already made him dislike Ye Futian. Furthermore, Ye Futian was bound to become enemies with Lihen Heaven. Even with Emperor Xia's protection, his future achievements would be limited, not to mention Luo Fan, who was following behind him.
"I know what I'm doing," Gongsun Xuan replied.
The conversation between the two of them was not muffled, so many people heard it and looked at Ye Futian with interest.
Although Gongsun Zhong did not speak to Ye Futian directly, his attitude was obvious. Gongsun Zhong did not give Ye Futian, who had boasted that he could sweep away all below Saint Plane in Lihen Heaven.
Luo Fan looked forward and frowned slightly.
Ye Futian turned around and saw Luo Fan's expression. He said telepathically, "Fifth Brother, have you really fallen for her?"
"Don't make wild guesses. We just teased each other a few years ago, and we didn't have much contact." Luo Fan shrugged, looking rather cool, but his eyes seemed to be avoiding Ye Futian's eyes.
"I think this girl is not bad." Ye Futian smiled and said, "She even took the initiative to talk to you. Maybe she really is interested in you."
"Don't put your Fourth Brother's experience in my shoes," Luo Fan said speechlessly.
"Now that you mention it, Fifth Brother, you and Fourth Brother have similar hobbies." Ye Futian had a strange look on his face. Fourth Brother had fallen for You Xi of Alchemy City, and now Fifth Brother had fallen for the daughter of an armorer force?
These two brothers had the best relationship and often fooled around together, so the girls they liked were more similar?
"It was just that I was bored during the trial and saw that the other party's Flame Rules were very powerful, so I teased her a little. But you know that your Fifth Brother is very charismatic, so it is normal for him to be popular with girls," Luo Fan said shamelessly.
"Fourth Brother is still more powerful. What's done is done. Why don't you try it too, Fifth Brother? Maybe you will be like Fourth Brother and win a beauty in an alchemy competition," Ye Futian joked. However, in the Upper Worlds, even if there was an alchemy competition, Luo Fan would have nothing to do with it.
"Get lost," Luo Fan said telepathically. What kind of stupid idea did this guy come up with? What's done is done?
Back then, it was You Xi who ran away and wanted to escape the marriage arranged by Alchemy City, so Fourth Brother took advantage of it. As for him and Gongsun Xuan, they were just talking about it and didn't think too much about it.
A well-fed man did not know the pain of a starving man. Wherever this guy went, there seemed to be no lack of beauties around him. Now, there was another beauty by his side.
The group came to the birthday banquet. At this time, many of the older generation had already arrived, and it was very grand.
Those who came to the birthday banquet were all forces of holy lands.
Ye Futian stood in the crowd and did not stand out at all. At this time, there were cries of surprise. Above the void in the distance, auspicious clouds appeared, and a carriage set out. It was an extremely beautiful scene.
"Queen Xiao has returned." A voice came from afar and spread throughout the Xiao clan.
Queen Xiao was now Emperor Xia's woman and was named Queen. Her status was extraordinary, and even if she returned to the Xiao clan, it was still a visit.
The head of the Xiao clan and other core figures appeared one after another, standing on the ceremonial platform to welcome her.
The carriage traveled in the void, and there were two figures sitting in the carriage. They were naturally Queen Xiao and Xia Qingyuan.
Xia Qingyuan looked down and saw a familiar figure in the crowd. She could not help but show a strange expression. Why was he here?
Then, she saw the beautiful woman beside Ye Futian, and the two seemed to be talking happily.
