In the Guqin Gardens, Yu Sheng and the others were anxious. They were all waiting.
At this time, the carriage was ready. There were demon beasts pulling the carriage, all prepared by Tang Lan. After arranging things here, she went to meet them. On the way, she happened to see Nandou Wenyin and Ye Futian being chased.
A few figures descended from the sky. It was Ye Futian and the others.
Hua Fengliu's heart trembled when he saw Nandou Wenyin and Hua Jieyu. He helped Yu Sheng up and wanted to go forward.
"Jieyu, what's wrong?" Hua Fengliu couldn't help but ask when he saw Ye Futian carrying Hua Jieyu.
"Father, I'm fine." Hua Jieyu smiled at Hua Fengliu.
"Where's my father?" Yi Qingxuan walked up to Ye Futian and asked. She didn't see her father Yi Xiang. Other than him, everyone else had returned.
"Senior Yi blocked the pursuers for me. He's strong and will be fine," Ye Futian said to Yi Qingxuan. He seemed to be comforting himself as well as Yi Qingxuan.
"How could Headmaster Yi block Minister Hua and the others alone? How did you come back?" Hua Fengliu asked. How could Yi Xiang and Ye Futian bring back Nandou Wenyin and Hua Jieyu?
"Master, Grandmaster …" Ye Futian's eyes were red and he was depressed.
Hua Fengliu's heart trembled. In an instant, he seemed to understand. Remembering the past, he looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes.
His master had traded his life for his disciple, wife, and daughter.
"There's no time to be sad. Let's go," Tang Lan said.
Everyone knew she was telling the truth. Hua Fengliu nodded and pushed Yu Sheng away. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed. He hated himself for being useless and causing trouble for his master.
Ye Futian walked up and handed Hua Jieyu to the masteress. Then he also knelt and kowtowed in the direction of Grandmaster.
"Grandmaster, I will go to the School of the Emperor Star to pick you up," Ye Futian kowtowed. Then he helped Hua Fengliu up and walked to the carriage.
Everyone boarded the demon beasts and the carriage. Tang Lan asked, "Where to now?"
"The East Sea first," Ye Futian said. The East Sea was endless. It was undoubtedly the best choice.
"What about my father?" Yi Qingxuan's eyes were red with worry.
"Senior Yi, it'll be easier to escape if you're alone. You'll be fine," Ye Futian comforted her. Yi Qingxuan nodded. She knew that she couldn't stay any longer.
At this moment, Yu Sheng's strong hand reached out and held her hand, as if giving her strength. Then, the demonic beast rose into the air and pulled the carriage into the clouds in the sky.
After they left for a while, Minister Hua and Nandou Tai brought people to the Guqin Gardens. Looking at the empty gardens, Minister Hua's face darkened. He asked coldly, "Where are Xia Feng and Han Mo?"
"They should be continuing the chase. Previously, Yi Xiang stalled me while Han Mo and Xia Feng continued the chase. There shouldn't be a problem," Headmaster Yan Shao said.
"But what about those corpses on the road?" Minister Hua's tone was extremely cold. Clearly, he'd seen Xia Fan's corpses too. They were all Xia Feng's people, including those in the Arcana Plane. But according to Yan Shao, only Nandou Wenyin was in the Arcana Plane while Yi Xiang was dragging him. How could she kill these people?
Plus, there were Han Mo, Xia Feng, and some people from the Nandou Clan chasing after them.
Unless there was someone hiding in the dark to help them.
"We can only wait for news from Han Mo and Xia Feng now," Nandou Tai said. His expression was also ugly. They'd done everything to Ye Futian today. If the youth grew up, he'd definitely take revenge.
Plus, only he knew what Minister Zuo had predicted Hua Jieyu's fate.
When Emperor Luo's decree had come, he'd mistakenly thought that the empress' fate was referring to the queen. Until Ye Futian's performance and Minister Zuo's decree, he'd realized that he was wrong.
"Go, set up surveillance in the entire city. Place scouts at all exits and monitor the sky," Minister Hua ordered. But he knew that if Xia Feng and Han Mo didn't catch up, it'd be difficult to catch them.
If they really escaped, he wouldn't be able to explain to Emperor Luo.
Minister Hua had led people to deal with two juniors but they actually escaped. He wouldn't have the face to report back.
They waited for a long time but Han Mo and Xia Feng didn't show up. The people from the Nandou Clan were gone too. They seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Night fell. Nandou Tai returned to the Nandou Clan, Yan Shao returned to Donghai Academy, and Minister Hua went to Xia Feng's residence. Still, there was no news.
Nandou Tai learned from his family that Minister Zuo had gone to the Nandou Clan. After hearing about what had happened, he laughed wildly and left. He sighed that fate could not be changed. Then, he brought his people and returned to the Imperial City. This made Nandou Tai's heart feel heavy. It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on him.
There was no need to talk about the crown princess. The Nandou Clan had lost Hua Jieyu.
Also, because Hua Jieyu went against the imperial order, Emperor Luo might have some opinions about the Nandou Clan. This was also why Minister Hua had forced him to act. He had to put justice before family to avoid Emperor Luo's suspicions.
The big shots from Donghai City who came to congratulate all returned to their residences. They also heard that Minister Hua didn't catch Ye Futian. They couldn't help but feel strange. How did Minister Hua let Ye Futian escape? Logically, this shouldn't have happened.
It was the last day of year 10000 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar. No one expected the change in Donghai City.
Minister Hua came under orders to crown Hua Jieyu as the crown princess. Everyone went to congratulate. Everyone thought that the Nandou Clan would once again stand on the stage of the Nandou Nation and not just stay in Donghai City. However, something unexpected happened. A 17-year-old youth broke into the Nandou Clan and showed off his talent. He had twin spirits and was a Full Elemental talent. Not only did he go against the imperial order, but he also tried to persuade the Nandou Clan to overthrow the imperial power. The Nandou Clan decided to kill him to prevent future trouble. He should have died but he left alive. Minister Hua didn't take him.
In the end, he took away Hua Jieyu, who had been named the crown princess. No one knew where he would go but everyone knew that he would come back one day.
…
Year 10001 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar arrived. On the first day, many rumors spread in Donghai Academy.
It was said that Hua Jieyu, who had been named the crown princess, almost committed suicide for Ye Futian.
It was said that the genius who had blocked the door of the School of the Emperor Star had two spirits and cultivated Full Elemental. He defeated all cultivators under the Dharma Plane. Zhuo Qing wasn't his match either. He had been hiding his strength in Donghai Academy.
They also heard that Elder Qin of the School of the Emperor Star played the last song to save Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. From then on, there was no Elder Qin anymore. Yi Xiang went against the imperial order for Ye Futian. Xia Fan, the son of the East Sea Prefecture's chief, Xia Feng, was tortured to death. Xia Feng was nowhere to be found. At the same time, the vice headmaster of the School of the Emperor Star, Han Mo, and several strong cultivators of the Nandou Clan disappeared.
Yesterday, there seemed to be a terrible storm in Donghai City. This storm ended with the disappearance of Ye Futian and the others.
Outside Donghai Academy, two beautiful figures stood there, looking at the academy. It was Lin Xiyue and Xiao He. Lin Xiyue's father was also at the Nandou Clan yesterday and saw everything.
"I didn't expect his talent to be so strong," Xiao He sighed. Xiao He sighed softly. After hearing about what had happened yesterday, the two girls were extremely shocked.
"I plan to participate in this year's Spring Quarter Examination and enter Donghai Academy to cultivate," Lin Xiyue said.
"Why do you suddenly want to cultivate at Donghai Academy?" Xiao He was confused.
Lin Xiyue said calmly, "After the Spring Quarter Examination, the Imperial City will hold the Tingfeng Banquet. People from Donghai Academy will attend. I want to go with them."
There was another reason she didn't say. If she cultivated at Donghai Academy, he would definitely be able to see her when he returned one day.
"The Tingfeng Banquet. All the geniuses from the 36 prefectures of the Nandou Nation will attend. I wonder how many geniuses there will be." Xiao He's eyes were filled with yearning. "But if he didn't leave, even at the Tingfeng Banquet, he would probably shine the brightest."
"Of course." Lin Xiyue nodded lightly. The talent that Ye Futian displayed yesterday was probably second to none in the entire Nandou Nation.
Twin spirits, all-elemental talent including the Spirit element, powerful in both martial arts and sorcery, and an extremely talented musical sorcerer. She couldn't imagine that the sunny young man she met on a boat in the East Sea would have such amazing talent.
At the same time, on a boat in the East Sea.
A group of people stood at the bow of the boat. The sea breeze blew and their clothes fluttered. This group of people had outstanding temperaments. It was Ye Futian's group.
In the sky, a demon descended. It was a Black Wind Eagle. It landed in front of Ye Futian.
Ye Futian walked up and said to Yi Qingxuan who stood at the front, "I sent the Black Wind Eagle to investigate the situation in the City of Donghai. Senior Yi should be fine. Don't worry."
"Okay." Yi Qingxuan nodded but was still worried.
"Futian, where do you plan to go?" Tang Lan walked up and asked.
Ye Futian looked at the vast sea and asked, "Are there any enemies in the neighboring countries of the Nandou Nation?"
"If we go north along the East Sea, we'll reach the border of the East Sea Prefecture. That place borders the Cangye Kingdom. The Nandou Nation and the Cangye Kingdom are enemies. In the past 300 years, there have been frequent wars," Tang Lan said.
"Then let's go north." Ye Futian looked north and said, "We'll go to the Cangye Kingdom, the imperial city."
He had wanted to go to the imperial city to attend the Tingfeng Banquet but Emperor Luo's decree ruined everything. Since the Nandou Nation wouldn't accept him, then he would go to the imperial city.
"Okay." Tang Lan nodded. With the amazing talent that Ye Futian displayed yesterday, there was no need to worry about not having a place to stay. If he wanted to find someone to rely on, it would be a piece of cake.
