As Fengxiao's voice fell, the banquet fell silent for a moment. Many great figures looked interested.
One person sweeping away all below the Saint Plane in Lihen Heaven?
Old Man Xiao smiled and said, "I heard that Wang Chuan, a junior of Lihen Heaven, was praised by the elders of Lihen Heaven to be alone in the Plane, the pinnacle of all below the Saint Plane. Who has such ambition to sweep away all below the Saint Plane in Lihen Heaven?"
Some people had vaguely guessed it, and their eyes were already on Ye Futian.
Some time ago, Ye Futian had been named the valet of the princess, which caused a stir, and some cultivators from top holy lands had also paid attention to this matter.
Seeing that many people were looking at Ye Futian, Old Man Xiao's eyes also slowly turned and fell on Ye Futian, then he smiled and said, "So you are the valet of Qingyuan. Such ambition, not bad."
Xia Qingyuan looked at Ye Futian. This guy did not keep a low profile at all.
However, she did not think that Ye Futian was just boasting, and that he could really do it.
Her father had said that he could stand alone in the Nine States. Even if he did not use his trump card, it would be difficult for Wang Chuan to beat him.
"You are Ye Futian?" Queen Xiao's eyes also fell on Ye Futian, and she said with a smile. Although she had a smile on her face, there was a sense of nobility about her, and no one dared to blaspheme her.
Ye Futian got up and bowed to Queen Xiao. "Ye Futian, Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State of the Nine States, greets Queen Xiao."
"You are indeed a dragon among men. No wonder His Majesty thinks so highly of you. Cultivate well in the future." Queen Xiao nodded at Ye Futian.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Futian thanked her and then sat down.
Ye Futian was a junior, so even if he spoke arrogantly, the saints would not say anything. Moreover, the main characters of today's banquet were Old Man Xiao and Queen Xiao. Since Old Man Xiao and Queen Xiao did not say anything, the others naturally would not say anything.
However, these words were indeed a bit arrogant.
"Wang Chuan of Lihen Heaven, Xuanyuan Ao of Xuanyuan Palace, Gongsun Zhong of Divine Cloud Valley, Qin Bai of Qin Palace, Yaoxi of Yaotai Divine Palace, and so on. These people all claim to be of the same plane, and few below the Saint Plane can rival them," Xiao Qianhe slowly said.
"Of course, in the past, you and Yu Sheng had broken through the Ninth Layer of Heaven in the Jiutian Temple, and not long ago, Yu Sheng defeated Lu Cheng. Presumably, you are qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with those of that plane, and be as famous as the others. His Majesty also valued you because of this, and appointed you as the Princess' valet. However, you need to cultivate your heart and mind. You are still young, so don't get carried away and underestimate the top geniuses of Emperor Xia's Realm. Cultivate your heart and mind, guard against arrogance and rashness, and serve the Princess with all your heart in the future, be loyal and responsible, and have a promising future."
Everyone nodded when they heard what Xiao Qianhe said. Xiao Qianhe was the uncle of Princess Xia Qingyuan, so it was only natural that he had the right to warn Ye Futian in case he got carried away.
Xiao Qianhe's words were flawless.
Xia Qingyuan glanced at Xiao Qianhe. She had not expected him to speak up. Furthermore, Xiao Qianhe was her uncle, so there was nothing wrong with what he said. However, she knew that Ye Futian was different from the others. He was a proud man to the core. Even when facing her, he had never once lowered his head. In the Renhuang Mausoleum, he had even fought her directly.
Furthermore, when his father made Ye Futian his valet, he did not really intend to make him his bodyguard. He only wanted to remind the people of Emperor Xia's Realm not to touch Ye Futian at will.
Ye Futian's identity was also mysterious, and he should know very well why her father helped him. After all, she knew that Ye Futian had been depressed for a period of time. According to what she knew, Ye Futian did not know how her father would deal with him during that period of time. He did not know whether he was alive or dead, and coupled with the death of his wife, he was depressed.
Later on, his father chose to protect Ye Futian. Although Ye Futian did not ask about it, he should have guessed some things. That was why Ye Futian was never afraid of him and did not have the awareness of being a bodyguard.
If Xiao Qianhe's words were said to other bodyguards, it would not have been a problem, but to Ye Futian, it would have caused him to be displeased.
She looked at Ye Futian and saw him raise his head slightly, looking at Xiao Qianhe. There was no joy or anger in his deep eyes, but it was Yu Sheng, who was behind him, who showed obvious displeasure.
It seemed that it was not Xiao Qianhe's place to tell Ye Futian how to do things.
"I will remember what you have said, senior." Ye Futian smiled and nodded at Xiao Qianhe.
Xiao Qianhe kept staring at Ye Futian. Seeing his attitude, he was very satisfied.
"It's just that …" But at that moment, Ye Futian continued, "Although I have been bestowed the title of the princess' valet by His Majesty, I have never been arrogant or looked down on the geniuses of the world. It is just that the sages of Lihen Heaven were defeated, and the saints took action. This is something that everyone in Emperor Xia's Realm knows, and many cultivators saw it with their own eyes. I do not think that there is anything wrong with saying that there is no one below the Saint Plane in Lihen Heaven."
He could not get over this hurdle.
It did not matter who told him that he was arrogant or that he did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Just as he said, he had attacked and surrounded Ye Wuchen, and the Sword Saint of Liyang had wounded Yu Sheng with one sword. Since he had done it, it was impossible to pretend that nothing had happened.
"What a tough guy." Everyone looked at Ye Futian and thought to themselves. He was facing Queen Xiao's brother, and he was acting like this in front of the princess. What a proud and arrogant junior.
It was obvious that Ye Futian did not accept Xiao Qianhe's warning.
He insisted on being himself.
Xiao Qianhe stared at Ye Futian, then smiled and said, "Since you have a grudge against Lihen Heaven, there is nothing wrong with what you said. It is just that cultivation should not be too tough. How will you serve the princess in the future with such a temperament?"
Ye Futian looked at Xiao Qianhe's eyes. Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Xiao Qianhe said, he had a feeling that Xiao Qianhe was testing something.
Moreover, he had been invited here today. Who was it that had invited him?
Old Man Xiao would not care about the affairs of the younger generation.
It was even more impossible for Queen Xiao and Xia Qingyuan. As for Xiao Sheng, it was probably not his turn yet.
It seemed that it could only be Xiao Qianhe.
What was he trying to test?
Why had he invited him here and provoked him?
"His Majesty and the princess know my personality, and they will understand." Ye Futian was still polite. No matter what he thought in his heart, he could not easily offend Queen Xiao's brother.
Outside, he would naturally treat Xia Qingyuan with due respect.
Emperor Xia intended to protect him. Whether it was sealing off the news of the Sacred War or making him a valet of the princess, it was all for this purpose. Ye Futian's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he knew that Emperor Xia and Xia Qingyuan were his backers.
He could not have given Lihen Heaven face at all. After all, they were the ones who had gone too far first. With Emperor Xia around, Lihen Heaven would not have dared to do anything.
But Xiao Qianhe was Emperor Xia's brother-in-law, and his relationship with Emperor Xia and Xia Qingyuan was not ordinary. Ye Futian naturally did not want to offend him.
But not wanting to offend him did not mean that he would waver just because of a few words from Xiao Qianhe.
"Xiao Qianhe really thinks highly of you, Sir Ye." At that moment, a light laugh came into Ye Futian's ears. It was Yao Xi who was next to him.
"Think highly of me?" Ye Futian replied. He did not seem to care about what she meant by 'think highly of me'.
"Did you not hear Xiao Qianhe say to Queen Xiao that he wanted Xiao Sheng to enter Emperor Xia's Palace?" Yao Xi smiled and said, "The Xiao clan is now flourishing, and they are the clan of Queen Xiao's mother. With this relationship, the Xiao clan naturally wants to move forward. Xiao Sheng's talent is outstanding, and he is the nephew of the Queen and the cousin of the princess. How close is this relationship? Xiao Sheng entering the palace is naturally to assist Xia Qingyuan in the future … "
Yao Xi lowered her head and her voice came into Ye Futian's ears again. She said, "Sir Ye, if this is not thinking highly of me, then what is it?"
Although Yao Xi did not say it too clearly, Ye Futian naturally understood what she meant. He was a little surprised that Yao Xi could see it so clearly.
He had not even thought about it in that direction.
Out of all the children of Emperor Xia, he doted on Xia Qingyuan the most. He even said in public that Xia Qingyuan's talent surpassed his. Many people speculated that the one to take over Emperor Xia's Realm in the future might not be a prince, but the princess.
The Imperial Concubine only had one daughter, Xia Qingyuan. The Xiao clan naturally supported Xia Qingyuan. Furthermore, with this relationship, the relationship between Xia Qingyuan and Xiao Sheng might even be closer than that of the other half-brothers. In this way, Xiao Sheng assisted Xia Qingyuan. What kind of status would Xiao Sheng have in the future?
Furthermore, the marriage between the Xiao clan and Divine Cloud Valley seemed to be paving the way for this.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Qianhe naturally did not want to see anyone else around Xia Qingyuan who was valued by Emperor Xia and the princess.
Ye Futian came from the Lower Worlds, was a direct descendant of Emperor Xia, and was made a valet of the princess. Perhaps because of this, he attracted Xiao Qianhe's attention.
At that moment, Ye Futian suddenly understood why he felt that Xiao Qianhe was testing him. He was indeed testing, and it was not just testing him. He was probably testing the princess's intentions as well.
That meant that as long as he was valued by Emperor Xia and the princess, it would be equivalent to offending Xiao Qianhe.
From the very beginning, the other party had already taken a stand, and it had nothing to do with Lihen Heaven.
As for whether he was arrogant or not, it did not matter at all.
"Thank you for the reminder, Goddess," Ye Futian said to Yao Xi telepathically. If it had not been for Yao Xi's reminder, he would not have been able to see it so deeply.
The two of them communicated telepathically through spiritual power, but in reality, it had only been a moment.
Xiao Qianhe was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Many people say that you are unparalleled in the Nine States, and that you are valued by His Majesty. Since you insist on being true to yourself, you must truly have unparalleled talent. In that case, I won't say anything more. What do you think, Qingyuan?"
As he said this, he looked at Xia Qingyuan beside him.
Ye Futian's eyes narrowed slightly. This Xiao Qianhe was very scheming. Today was Xia Qingyuan's grandfather's birthday banquet, and he had contradicted Xiao Qianhe, who was Xia Qingyuan's uncle. Now that Xiao Qianhe had asked Xia Qingyuan what she thought, was he not trying to get her to take a stand?
Xia Qingyuan stared at Ye Futian, and countless eyes fell on her. It seemed that they all wanted to see what Xia Qingyuan's attitude towards Ye Futian was.
"This boy has always been arrogant, and he doesn't know the rules," Xia Qingyuan said. Hearing this, Xiao Qianhe smiled.
"Ye Futian." But at that moment, Xia Qingyuan shouted, "You have arrogantly said that there is no one below the Saint Plane in Lihen Heaven, and the cultivators of Lihen Heaven are not satisfied with this. Take this opportunity to learn from me. If you lose, you will go back to the Lower Worlds."
Xia Qingyuan's voice seemed to be filled with anger!
