Ye Futian looked at the Imperial Advisor and sighed inwardly. With Feixue's status, even if the Imperial Advisor asked Emperor Li for help, Emperor Li would agree.
Since Feixue still could not see, then he should be able to guess without even asking.
"Seventh Swordsman, you don't have to feel bad for me. Isn't this good?" Feixue chuckled as if she could read Ye Futian's mind.
"I don't feel bad," Ye Futian denied. "I just feel that you are so beautiful. If I could see you, your eyes would be full of life."
Feixue smiled. Even though her eyes were lifeless, her smile was still very comforting.
"Sit," the Imperial Advisor said with a smile. The imperial advisor smiled and everyone took their seats on both sides of the table. Yan Yuan took the first seat on the left. Below him were Nan Zhai, Mu Chunyang, and Wang Zhong.
On the right were Feixue, Lu Chuan, and Ye Futian.
"Where is the masteress?" Ye Futian asked Lu Chuan telepathically. He did not ask in front of everyone. What happened to Feixue made him realize that the Imperial Advisor might have a story. If the masteress did not appear, there must be a reason.
Lu Chuan did not look at Ye Futian but replied telepathically, "I have never seen the masteress. She passed away a long time ago. Don't mention her in front of the Master."
"Okay." Ye Futian nodded.
"Seventh Swordsman, no need to be so formal at a family banquet," the Imperial Advisor said with a smile.
"Yes, Master." Ye Futian nodded. The group began to eat and drink. There were no rules. Everything seemed very casual.
"How has your cultivation been?" the Imperial Advisor asked everyone at the banquet.
"Master, I don't think I will have a chance to reach your plane," Yan Yuan said with a smile.
"Yan Yuan, you have an insight into the affairs of the world. This is your strength and also your weakness. But sooner or later, your achievements will surpass mine. It is only a matter of time," the Imperial Advisor said.
"Master, I have no ambitions. I cultivate as I wish," Nan Zhai said.
"Okay." The Imperial Tutor nodded, "I'm not worried about the few of you. Wang Zhong, the obsession in your heart is too strong. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to persuade you to let it go. However, you have to understand that this obsession might help you, but it might also affect your achievements."
"I will surpass you," Wang Zhong said.
"I'll be waiting for that day." The Imperial Preceptor nodded.
Ye Futian looked at Wang Zhong in surprise. He had always felt that Wang Zhong was different from the other disciples. Now, it seemed that not only was he different, but his relationship with the Imperial Advisor was also not good.
If that was the case, why would the Imperial Tutor accept him as a disciple?
"Seventh Swordsman, I asked you that day why you cultivate, and your answer made me decide to take you as my disciple." The Imperial Advisor said, "The Great Path is boundless. Even I have never had such courage."
"I was just saying," Ye Futian said.
"There are boundaries in the world, but to dare to say that the Great Path is boundless is a kind of breadth of mind. For example, I do not have such boldness, but if you do, I will naturally be gratified," the Imperial Advisor said.
Ye Futian looked up at the Imperial Advisor and asked, "I have something I don't understand. Can I ask for your guidance?"
"Go ahead." Imperial Preceptor nodded.
"If you also agree that the Great Path is boundless, why did you assist His Majesty in strengthening Dali and conquering other realms? Isn't this going against the Great Path?" Ye Futian asked.
He had always wondered what kind of person the Imperial Advisor was, and now that he had the chance, he asked directly.
"That day when I asked you why you sought the Great Path, you also said that you hoped that one day, even if you did not cultivate, you would still have the right to choose freely. This is the case for you, and it is the same for Dali. The disputes of the world have never been settled since ancient times. The chaos of more than three hundred years ago still affects us today. Millions of people die in the war between realms. If Dali is not strong, it will be destroyed.
How can we have the right to choose? "The Imperial Advisor looked at Ye Futian and said," I assisted His Majesty in strengthening Dali, and I have done many wrong things, but I have also made many contributions to the cultivators of Dali. Everything in the world is conserved. If you want to get something, you must pay a price. As I said just now, I do not have your courage. I have never thought that the Great Path is boundless, but I can only do my best to change what I can. "
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded slightly and sighed inwardly. He naturally understood that the Imperial Advisor was speaking the truth. From his perspective, if Dali was not strong, Emperor Xia's Realm, the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm, and other realms would have attacked Emperor Li's Realm.
"If you want to change, you must first stand at the highest point of the place you want to change. It is said that Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing also dreamed of changing the world, so they stood at the top of the world." A look of respect was seen in the Imperial Advisor's eyes. "In this world, there will always be some great beings who will be respected. My ability and character are limited, and I am not qualified to be such a person, but I hope that you can be great."
"Master, for Dali, you are already great enough," Yan Yuan said.
"This is not up to you to judge alone. You should ask Wang Zhong, what does he think?" The Imperial Advisor mocked himself and looked at Wang Zhong. Yan Yuan did not ask, and it was obvious that he knew the answer without asking.
Ye Futian seemed to know more about the Imperial Advisor, and a sense of respect grew in his heart.
Perhaps Emperor Xia's Realm's impression of the Imperial Advisor of Dali was too one-sided.
The Imperial Advisor was right. He was not Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing. His ability was limited, and he could only influence Emperor Li's Realm.
"Master, if I may be so bold as to ask, why do you seek the Path?" Ye Futian asked.
The Imperial Advisor was a little surprised and looked at Ye Futian. This was the first time someone asked him why he sought the Path.
In the past, it was always him asking others.
"If I say that I have never thought about it, would you believe me?" the Imperial Advisor looked at Ye Futian and said.
Ye Futian was stunned, and he was a little surprised.
But the Imperial Advisor only smiled and said, "Any one of you is more courageous than I am. I used to cultivate as I pleased, and I never thought about seeking the Path for anything. One day, a disaster would come, and you would not have any choice. So when you said that you had the freedom to choose even if you did not want to cultivate, I said that the requirements were too high. Even if you cultivated, you would not have the right to choose, and you would not be able to resist.
"As for now, my wish is very simple. I want Feixue to live a simple life, to teach a few disciples, to build a Dali Academy, so that the younger generation can have a good cultivation environment, and to make Dali Dynasty prosperous. As for bigger dreams, I have never had any extravagant hopes."
Ye Futian looked at the Imperial Advisor with some surprise. This was completely different from the Imperial Advisor of Dali in his impression.
The Imperial Advisor of Dali that he knew should have been a person who made the Dali Dynasty strong and powerful, and who worked hard to conquer other realms.
However, what he saw at this moment was a calm and peaceful Imperial Advisor of Dali.
"It's different from what you imagined? People are used to making myths about people who stand at the top, but in reality, no matter how high you stand, you are still human, "the Imperial Advisor said.
"Master, have you never thought about changing more realms?" Ye Futian asked.
"If you had experienced the Realm War yourself, you would not think so. Unless I can control other realms without going through the Realm War, I will never think about it," the Imperial Advisor looked at Ye Futian and said.
The Realm War that the Imperial Advisor referred to was naturally a large-scale Realm War. Ye Futian had heard that in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path, some realms were barren, and a Realm War had once broken out. It was a terrifying scene.
The Battle of Empty Realm was actually a small-scale Realm War.
The Imperial Advisor claimed that he had experienced the Realm War.
As for wanting to affect other realms without going through the Realm War, one would need to cultivate to a very high level. For example, he could take down Emperor Li alone, so why would there be a need for a Realm War?
It seemed that the Imperial Advisor was against the Realm War.
At the banquet, the group chatted casually, and Ye Futian learned more about the Imperial Advisor and his disciples.
After the banquet, the Imperial Advisor said to Lu Chuan, "Lu Chuan, send Feixue to sleep."
"Deep sleep?" Ye Futian's expression changed.
"Feixue needs to sleep often because of her cultivation. She is actually much older than you, but she looks very young, because she is sleeping most of the time," the Imperial Advisor said.
Ye Futian's heart trembled. Is this life freezing?
He finally knew why there was a banquet today. Was it because Feixue had woken up?
He looked at Feixue, that clean and beautiful face. Although fate had been so cruel to her, that indifferent and gentle smile seemed so calm.
The Imperial Advisor said that he hoped that Feixue could live a simple life.
It turned out that this was an extravagant hope in itself.
"Alright." Lu Chuan nodded lightly, then got up. Feixue, who was beside him, also stood up, ready to leave.
"I'll go too," Ye Futian said. He immediately got up and walked with Lu Chuan and Feixue, leaving the banquet.
The three of them walked together, and Ye Futian asked, "Brother, why is Feixue like this?"
"I don't know. It's been like this since I entered the school." Lu Chuan shook his head and sighed.
"Seventh Swordsman, it's okay. I'm used to it." Feixue looked at Ye Futian and said, "Isn't it good to stay young forever?"
"How long do you need to sleep?" Ye Futian asked.
"There's no pattern. It's most of the time." Feixue smiled and said, "You don't have to feel sorry for me."
"No," Ye Futian denied.
"You don't want to admit it again?" Feixue smiled and said, "Father said your heart of the sword is pure, but I see that your emotions are not stable at all. You are so easily sad. Shouldn't the cultivation of swordsmanship be as firm as a rock?"
Ye Futian still wanted to explain, but Lu Chuan looked at him deeply and said, "Feixue can feel other people's emotions."
"…"
Ye Futian was stunned and looked at Feixue. So, if he had hatred, Feixue could also feel it.
"I sensed your emotions during the banquet." Feixue smiled brightly. She put her hand on her chest, and suddenly there was a strange light spreading from her body. At that moment, Ye Futian had a very mysterious feeling.
It was as if there was a very strange power covering his body.
In his Life Palace, the quiet World Tree of the Life Spirit suddenly swayed and released a strange light, as if it was affected by the power inside Feixue's body.
