As the Jiao Dragon approached the Nandou Nation Imperial Palace, a group of people flew over. The Jiao Dragon roared ferociously.
"Stop," Emperor Ye said. The flood dragon stopped, and the people who arrived bowed to Emperor Ye and the others. "Greetings, Emperor Ye."
"What is it?" Emperor Ye asked.
"We're here on His Majesty's orders to welcome you. We've arranged a pavilion for Emperor Ye," the person said.
"Lead the way," Emperor Ye said. Ye Futian nodded and led the way until they arrived at a huge palace not far from the Imperial Palace.
The two countries were enemies but since they'd been invited to attend the ceremony, they had to be polite.
Everything in the palace had been prepared for them. As the emperor of the Cangye Kingdom, Emperor Ye naturally could not share the palace with anyone who was not from the Cangye Kingdom.
"Ye Futian, come with me. Emperor Luo probably won't do anything to you but to be safe, don't leave the pavilion. Even if you have to leave, let Jing Yu go with you," Emperor Ye instructed. Jing Yu was the emperor's bodyguard. Anything that the emperor needed to do, Jing Yu would be the one to do it.
"I'll be careful." Ye Futian nodded. Emperor Luo wouldn't do anything to him openly but there was no guarantee that he wouldn't try to assassinate him or frame someone else. Dead men told no tales. Emperor Ye couldn't blame him.
The group settled in the pavilion but the outside world was already in an uproar. The Tingfeng Banquet would begin tomorrow. It was a grand event that happened once every ten years. It was even grander than the Fenghua Banquet in the Cangye Kingdom. The entire nation would pay attention to it. Powerful figures from all over would come. How could the world not be excited?
Everyone was looking forward to the Tingfeng Banquet tomorrow.
Two hours later, a group of people arrived outside the palace and barged into the palace.
The leader was a beautiful woman. She seemed to be of high status and the bodyguards behind her were very powerful.
Jing Yu appeared before her and said, "Emperor Ye's pavilion. Kill all intruders."
"I'm looking for Ye Futian." The woman looked up at Jing Yu. Jing Yu's eyes flashed. He was a bit hesitant.
"Since it's Emperor Ye's pavilion, what can we do?" the woman continued. Jing Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you there."
After saying this, he walked forward and brought the woman and the others to a place in the palace. Ye Futian and the others lived here.
Seeing the group, Lin Yueyao and the others were curious. They all walked towards Ye Futian's courtyard.
Ye Futian was sitting in the courtyard and was stunned when he saw the newcomer.
"Ye Futian, tell me clearly. Why did you join the Cangye Kingdom?" the woman said angrily as if she was here to question him.
Ye Futian looked up at the willful, beautiful woman in front of him and said coldly, "You're asking me?"
This woman was the princess of the Nandou Nation. Since she was the princess, she was naturally Emperor Luo's daughter and the Crown Prince's sister.
"My teacher gave you the decree of the Prime Minister, and my brother asked you to be the Prime Minister, but you refused. My father, the King, personally ordered you to be the Crown Prince's Study Attendant. Is that why you betrayed the Nandou Nation and went to the Cangye Kingdom? "
"Get lost." Ye Futian glanced at her coldly. Was this woman an idiot? How have I let him down?
"You …" Luo Mengyan pointed at Ye Futian and said, "You bastard, I'll kill you."
As she said this, she rushed forward but Ye Futian stood up and took a step forward. As if recalling some bad memories, Luo Mengyan's body froze on the spot.
"I'm here with His Majesty to attend the ceremony. We won't talk about the past. Please leave, Princess," Ye Futian said emotionlessly. Only then did the people around realize that this woman was the princess of the Nandou Nation.
Many people could not help but look at Ye Futian with strange expressions. What did this guy do to the princess?
"It's fine if you betrayed the Nandou Nation, but you also dragged my teacher into this. Now, my teacher doesn't care about the outside world and doesn't care about me. This is all your fault." Luo Mengyan's eyes were red. Ye Futian was surprised. He didn't expect Minister Zuo to be dragged into this.
This matter started because of Minister Zuo, but he also felt that Minister Zuo had good intentions. That imperial order should have nothing to do with Minister Zuo. Now, as an astrologer, Minister Zuo no longer cared about the outside world?
Ye Futian took out a Minister's Token and threw it to Luo Mengyan, saying, "Return this Minister's Token to Minister Zuo for me. By the way, tell him that the world is unpredictable and I don't blame him for this."
"You don't blame my teacher?" Luo Mengyan took the minister's order and looked at him angrily.
"You can leave now." Ye Futian ordered her to leave.
Luo Mengyan looked at Ye Futian coldly and then turned to leave.
The people outside the courtyard made way for her, but Luo Mengyan suddenly stopped and turned around to ask Ye Futian, "You said that your girlfriend is prettier than me. How beautiful is Hua Jieyu that you betrayed the Nandou Nation for her?"
"At least you don't deserve to be compared with her," Ye Futian said coldly. Luo Mengyan was too simple-minded. Did she really think that Emperor Luo and the Crown Prince's conferment was good for him? Maybe from her standpoint, she didn't want to think so badly of her father and brother.
Luo Mengyan looked at Ye Futian coldly and then left.
After she left, Lin Yueyao looked at Ye Futian strangely and asked, "What did you do to the princess of the Nandou Nation?"
Ye Futian looked at Lin Yueyao with a faint smile. "Do you want to try?" he asked.
Seeing Ye Futian's evil eyes, Lin Yueyao said, "No need."
Then she turned to leave. Bai Qiu, Yu Jiang, and the others watched this scene in silence. Lin Yueyao was once the most beautiful woman in the Cangye Kingdom. She had always been cold but she had taken the initiative to talk to Ye Futian several times. However, Ye Futian was straightforward and completely ignored the former most beautiful woman in the Cangye Kingdom. This made them very depressed. The gap between them …
Who asked Ye Futian's girlfriend to be prettier than Lin Yueyao?
"Let's go out for a walk," Zuo Qianfan said. Now that the Nandou Nation's imperial city was full of people, they could go and see. The emperor of the Nandou Nation had invited them to the banquet. He wouldn't be so petty to deal with the younger generation.
"Okay." Yu Jiang nodded and the group walked out of the palace.
Ye Futian didn't leave. He cultivated in the palace.
The day passed quickly. The next morning, people from the Nandou Nation came to the palace to see Emperor Ye.
Emperor Ye received the people. Ye Futian and the others came over as well. The people from the Nandou Nation bowed and said, "Our country's emperor has specially ordered us to invite you to the Imperial Palace so that you can attend the Tingfeng Banquet together."
"What about them?" Emperor Ye asked Ye Futian's group.
"This time, only the emperors have been invited. The others can go by themselves and meet up with Emperor Ye when they arrive," the person said with a smile.
Emperor Ye didn't say anything. Then he said to Jing Yu, "Bring them there."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jing Yu nodded. Emperor Ye left with the people from the Nandou Nation.
"Let's go," Jing Yu said. Other than him, there were many other strong cultivators from the Cangye Kingdom. The group walked out of the palace and headed straight for the imperial palace.
Outside the palace, there were people from other imperial cities heading in the same direction. It was the imperial palace.
The Tingfeng Banquet was held outside the southern gate of the Nandou Nation's imperial palace. At this time, there was a sea of people. It was even more frightening than the Fenghua Banquet of the Cangye Kingdom.
When Ye Futian's group arrived, they were almost drowned by the crowd. Walking forward, they saw nine high platforms outside the southern gate. They stood side by side. Surrounding them was a vast empty space. In front of the platforms were thrones and stands. It was obvious that ordinary people couldn't go there.
The vast crowd came from all over the Nandou Nation. Naturally, the people from the East Sea Prefecture were here too.
The people from the Nandou clan stood in a corner of the crowd, silently watching the thrones and stands in front of the platforms. That was where the royal family sat. The Nandou clan was supposed to sit there but now, they could only watch from below. They had come to the Fenghua Banquet to support.
"If the incident from a month ago didn't happen, Hua Jieyu would be the Crown Princess and the Nandou clan would be able to sit there," a young member of the Nandou clan said coldly. All of this was ruined by Ye Futian.
"Don't think about this anymore and don't mention Hua Jieyu," an elder scolded. Hua Jieyu was now a sinner of the Nandou Nation. The Nandou clan naturally had to cut off all ties with her.
"Okay." The young man nodded and looked at the vast crowd. He would be attending this year's Tingfeng Banquet. Many of the prides who came today could become his opponents.
He kept looking around the crowd. When he glanced in one direction, he paused and frowned. Then he looked back and finally saw a group of people walking forward.
"Ye Futian," the young man called. The people of the Nandou clan all looked at him. An elder said, "What are you talking about?"
How could Ye Futian appear at the Tingfeng Banquet?
"There." The young man pointed in one direction. His eyes were filled with shock. He was also surprised but it was clearly Ye Futian.
The people of the Nandou clan looked in the direction he was pointing at. Finally, their eyes locked onto a handsome figure. The strong cultivators of the Nandou clan all froze and their eyes flashed.
Ye Futian dared to attend the Tingfeng Banquet? Did he want to die?
"Let's go and take him down." The strong cultivators of the Nandou clan immediately sprinted in that direction. They still couldn't forget what happened in Donghai City. Not only was Hua Jieyu taken away, but a group of strong cultivators of the Nandou clan also disappeared.
All of this was because of Ye Futian.
"Don't let him go," a young man shouted. He was worried that Ye Futian would sneak into the crowd. This guy was too daring. He actually dared to come under the emperor's feet, to the place where the Tingfeng Banquet was being held.
"Take him down and hand him over to the emperor," someone said. They had even thought of how to deal with Ye Futian. Ye Futian had betrayed the emperor's order and was a sinner. Of course, he would be handed over to Emperor Luo!
