At this point, everyone had already come this far, so there was no way they would turn back so easily.
Furthermore, they had gradually fallen for it, and a strong desire grew within them. They wanted to cross the Fairy Pool and get Yao Xi.
Under such circumstances, there was no way they would just give up.
Ye Futian told the others to give up and move on by himself. It seemed that he had feelings for Yao Xi as well.
No one listened to him. Ye Futian looked ahead and sat cross-legged on the boat. He waved his hand and a guqin appeared in front of him.
Although he had lost his Guqin Spirit, he would always have a guqin by his side.
The strings were plucked, and music was heard. Suddenly, there were three kinds of music mixed together above the Fairy Pool. They were clearly separated, and the three kinds of music were exceptionally clear, burrowing into everyone's ears.
Ye Futian's state of mind became exceptionally clear and peaceful when the Ukiyo Song was played. It was as if he had fallen into absolute self-love. The desires in his mind gradually subsided. When his music entered the ears of the others, they were affected as well, causing the influence of the Heavenly Demon Song of the Six Desires and the Master of Hundred Flowers to weaken.
The music went from calm to passionate, as if it had a hot-blooded spirit that destroyed the desires in one's heart. Those who were still in the Fairy Pool had a strange feeling. Their desires gradually weakened, as if they had remembered their own path of cultivation.
At the same time, the music notes that danced between heaven and earth seemed to have melded with the will of the great path.
He waved his arm abruptly, and dazzling swords whizzed through the air, turning into Swords of Kasyapa. Along with the music notes, they turned into terrifying bolts of lightning that shot towards the Master of the Hundred Flowers.
The Master of Hundred Flowers quickly plucked the strings of his guqin, and the dancing music notes turned into terrifying attacks, clashing in the air.
However, there seemed to be endless dancing music notes around him, and every single one of them turned into Swords of Kasyapa, raining down in a frenzy, destroying everything in their path.
The Master of Hundred Flowers' fingers moved rapidly, and violent sounds of collisions were heard in the air. The Master of Hundred Flowers kept exploding, and the water of the Fairy Pool splashed.
Finally, a bolt of lightning flashed, accompanied by a crisp sound. The Master of Hundred Flowers grunted as the strings of his guqin broke. He looked in Ye Futian's direction and put his guqin away. He looked forward, turned around, and went back the way he had come.
Soon, his figure disappeared, as if he had never been there.
"Aren't you going back?" Qin Bai and the others looked at Ye Futian, then turned around and left. They had given up on their own accord.
Soon, only Ye Futian and Xia Lun were left on the Fairy Pool.
Ye Futian glanced at Xia Lun, and Xia Lun looked back at him.
Ye Futian wondered what would happen if he were to give up now.
"Please enter the island, Young Master Ye." A voice rang out. The island was right before his eyes. It was as if he would be able to reach it with a single step. However, Xia Lun did not see it. He was still in the illusory sea. However, he heard the voice as well.
Seeing that Ye Futian was still looking at him, Xia Lun nodded at Ye Futian and said, "Go."
At this moment, Xia Lun was in a dilemma.
He knew that Yao Xi would not have let him go. He would rather have Ye Futian go than have someone else go.
If Ye Futian were to give up now, there was no telling if Yao Xi would choose someone else to replace him.
This was not what he wanted to see.
As such, he would rather have Yaoxi choose Ye Futian.
As for what would happen, he did not want to think about it. He hoped that Qingyuan would not blame him when she found out.
Ye Futian nodded. The boat moved forward, approaching the island. He took a step and stepped onto the island.
The island was green, and there were cranes flying in the sky. Ye Futian even saw a phoenix resting on a wutong tree.
On the beautiful island, there was a beautiful figure quietly sitting there, slowly playing the zither, which was very pleasing to the eye. Such a scene was like a dream, it made people feel relaxed and happy.
When Ye Futian walked over, the sound of the guqin stopped. The woman looked up at Ye Futian and smiled sweetly, saying, "I have always hoped that the person who could come here would be Mr. Ye. I also knew that if someone could come, it would be Mr. Ye. It seems that Mr. Ye did not disappoint me."
Looking at that brilliant smile, Yao Xi, who was dressed luxuriously, did not lose her gentle beauty. She seemed to have gathered all the temperament and beauty in one body, enough to make any man lose his mind.
"Why did Goddess Yao Xi hope that I would come here?" Ye Futian asked.
Yao Xi looked at him coquettishly and said, "In Emperor Xia's Realm, only Young Master Ye can make me fall in love with you."
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes stared into Ye Futian's eyes. She was silent and shy, and it was intoxicating.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Yao Xi," Ye Futian said.
"Because of Xia Qingyuan?" Yao Xi asked with a smile.
Ye Futian shook his head.
"I remember when we first met, Young Master Ye, you said that you already had someone you loved, and that she was your wife. However, as far as I know, your wife has passed away. Why do you still remember her? If it's because of Xia Qingyuan, in what way do you think I am inferior to Xia Qingyuan?" Yao Xi asked.
"I didn't mean that." Ye Futian still shook his head.
Yao Xi smiled. "With your intelligence, Young Master Ye, you should understand what happened with Xiao Sheng last time. Xiao Sheng was not able to do it alone, and the person who could have done it all had to be someone from the royal palace. Emperor Xia and Xia Qingyuan must have known this as well. Did Queen Xiao get involved? After all, she is Xiao Sheng's aunt. Perhaps Queen Xiao did not want Xia Qingyuan and Young Master Ye to get too close? Did Emperor Xia and Xia Qingyuan not find out, or did they not want to? "
"Young Master Ye won the Empty Realm for Emperor Xia, and you went to Emperor Li's Realm alone, but you encountered these things. If Emperor Xia were to come forward, Yao Xi did not believe that anything in Emperor Xia's Realm could be hidden from him. After all, you are not of the Xia family, and you serve them. Perhaps they are just using you because you have extraordinary talent and unparalleled talent."
Ye Futian looked at Yao Xi. He knew in his heart that what Yao Xi said was not wrong. He had indeed thought of it, and so he intended to put an end to this matter. He did not even have a goal, and he could not act like he did with Xiao Sheng.
However, he still believed in Xia Qingyuan. She would not want to harm him. At that time, she had ordered people to go to the Lower Worlds to welcome him, and the news had been leaked. Coupled with everything else that had happened, it could only be said that the royal palace was involved.
That was the only way many things could be explained. Otherwise, there was no way to explain it.
However, Yao Xi should have been very clear about the relationship between him and the royal palace, and yet she said these things to him. Although there was nothing wrong with it, it could be seen that Yao Xi was dissatisfied with the royal palace.
Moreover, she had even directly talked about Emperor Xia and Queen Xiao. If he were to report her, it might be beyond redemption, but she did not care at all and just chatted casually.
Why was Yao Xi dissatisfied with the royal palace?
Why was she against Xia Qingyuan?
Xia Lun had first told him not to touch Yao Xi, and then asked him to come. Xia Lun's purpose seemed to be to stop Yao Xi from doing these things.
Moreover, from his point of view, what Yao Xi had done was indeed not something he liked, but he had no right to interfere with Yao Xi's affairs. After all, he was no one to her.
"Yao Xi, if you have something on your mind, I can listen." Ye Futian did not respond to Yao Xi's doubts about the royal palace. There were many things he knew.
When the Sacred War of the Nine States broke out, Emperor Xia blocked all news and suppressed the matter. He owed Emperor Xia his life.
Moreover, Emperor Xia knew all this, and he must have been able to guess some things. Therefore, Emperor Xia should know him better than many people.
Even if Emperor Xia really wanted to use him, he would not harm him. Otherwise, keeping him alive would be a hidden danger.
This was something he could see very clearly.
As for what kind of person Xia Qingyuan was, how could he not know after knowing her for so long?
That cold and aloof woman, her mind was far simpler than Yao Xi's.
"Something on my mind?" Yao Xi was stunned and looked at Ye Futian. Her eyes seemed a little unnatural, but she quickly concealed it and said with a smile, "What could I have on my mind?"
"For example, who are your parents, Yao Xi?" Ye Futian asked.
Yao Xi's beautiful eyes stared at him without moving. Ye Futian did not evade and looked back at Yao Xi.
What had happened recently, as well as the attitude between Yao Xi and Xia Qingyuan before, plus some rumors about Queen Xiao and the Holy Mother of the West.
Now, seeing Yao Xi's position in Yaotai Divine Palace, all of this made Ye Futian have a very bold guess.
A guess that involved the royal family.
Space seemed to stand still, and it became extraordinarily quiet. Yao Xi lowered her head slightly, and her eyes were a little red. She forced a smile, which seemed to be somewhat sad and beautiful.
"Xia Qingyuan is your sister, and His Majesty is your father?" Ye Futian looked at Yao Xi and said.
"I don't have a father, and I am not qualified to be sisters with a noble princess." Yao Xi looked at Ye Futian and said, "Sir Ye, you have heard the Heavenly Demon Song of the Six Desires, but do you know why such a song has never appeared in Emperor Xia's Realm? It is because someone enjoyed it alone, but he did not allow its owner to play the song again. He thought that the song was beneath his status. Moreover, he turned around and married another woman, making her a Queen. Do you think such a person is worthy of being called a father?"
Although Yao Xi did not admit it, her words had undoubtedly confirmed Ye Futian's guess.
In this way, he could understand everything that Yao Xi had done and the resentment in her heart.
When he was invited to Yaotai Divine Banquet, he heard that the last Yaotai Divine Banquet had been held decades ago. At that time, the Holy Mother of the West had succeeded to the throne.
He wondered if the Yaotai Divine Banquet had been held after Emperor Xia had made Queen Xiao his wife.
Everyone said that the Holy Mother of the West had lost to Queen Xiao in the title of the number one beauty in Emperor Xia's Realm, but the real reason for her defeat was something else.
This had also led to the fate of both of them being different.
"If the people of Emperor Xia's Realm were to choose between Xia Qingyuan and me, who do you think the world would choose, Sir Ye?" Yao Xi asked Ye Futian.
Ye Futian did not respond, but there was no doubt that the answer would be Xia Qingyuan.
"The world would naturally choose the noble princess, simply because she is a princess." Yao Xi laughed at herself. She had grown up hearing Xia Qingyuan's name!
