The next day, the Goddess Pavilion held a banquet to welcome Ye Futian.
There were many cultivators at the banquet. The person sitting at the head of the table was not Xiao Muyu, who was about to be named the Goddess of the Xiao clan, but her grandfather, Xiao Qianshan.
To Xiao Qianshan's left were Ye Futian, Xia Qingyuan, and Jiang Chengzi. To his right was Xiao Muyu's father, Xiao Hanjiang, and then Xiao Muyu.
Among these people, Jiang Chengzi was naturally the highest in terms of cultivation, but he had come with Ye Futian.
Xiao Qianshan and Xiao Hanjiang were both Xiao Muyu's elders, so they sat at the head of the table.
Yesterday had been a private gathering between Xiao Muyu and Ye Futian. Today, it was Xiao Muyu's family who had invited Ye Futian.
"The world is still the same, but each generation is stronger than the last. Emperor Ye's name has shaken the Nine Realms at such a young age, and Muyu is full of praise for you. I propose a toast to Emperor Ye, and Elder Jiang, please." Xiao Qianshan raised his cup to Ye Futian and Jiang Chengzi.
He was the person with the highest status in this family, but his cultivation was naturally not as high as Jiang Chengzi's. It was not a problem for him to call him Elder Jiang.
Although the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven was far inferior to the Xiao clan of the Central Emperor Realm, Jiang Chengzi was still the clan leader of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven. He was the strongest person of this generation.
"Elder, you are too polite." Ye Futian raised his cup, and Jiang Chengzi followed suit. The three of them drank.
"Muyu was able to prove her Way and become a Renhuang because of Emperor Ye's guidance. Now that she has been named the Goddess, no matter what, I have to propose another toast to Emperor Ye." Xiao Qianshan continued to raise his cup and drink.
"Father is right. Muyu did not explain in detail, but since Emperor Ye is Muyu's master, she must have proved her Way under your guidance. As Muyu's father, I also propose a toast to Emperor Ye." Xiao Hanjiang was middle-aged and looked to be in his forties. He was a middle-level Renhuang.
He naturally knew his daughter very well. She was very talented, and her obsession with cultivation was also very strong. She had always been an outstanding figure in her family. However, in the entire Central Emperor Realm, she could not be considered to be at the top.
Xiao Hanjiang had thought that Xiao Muyu would never have the chance to forge a perfect Divine Wheel since she had missed her chance in the God's relic. In her clan, the chances of becoming a Divine Son or a Goddess were slim.
However, he definitely did not expect that after Xiao Muyu returned from the trip to Tianshen Academy, she would prove her Way with a flawless Divine Wheel. Following that, she would undergo a perfect metamorphosis, and her stunning performance in the assessment won over the leader of the Xiao clan. She would be conferred the title of Goddess.
All of this was very strange. Later, he heard that his daughter, Xiao Muyu, had become a disciple of Ye Futian in Tianshen Academy and had proven her way with Ye Futian's help.
Ye Futian himself was a possessor of a flawless Divine Wheel. There were a few people around him who were also possessors of flawless Divine Wheels. He definitely had a better understanding of flawless Divine Wheels. Therefore, even though they were shocked, they could still accept it. However, they did not know how much Ye Futian had contributed to this.
Xiao Muyu did not explain this to him in detail. She only said that Ye Futian had expended a great deal of effort and even used up his life force to set up the path matrix to help her forge a perfect Divine Wheel.
Xiao Hanjiang could sense that his daughter was probably hiding something. However, that was not important. Regardless of whether it was Ye Futian's talent or the help he had given Xiao Muyu, it was enough to make them feel grateful and take him seriously. He was a heroic figure with great potential.
"Senior Xiao, you are too kind. I only helped a little. Muyu is extremely talented. This time, she proved her way and forged a flawless Divine Wheel, but she still relied on herself. After all, everything in cultivation is based on one's own body," Ye Futian said humbly. Naturally, he would not say that it was all because of him.
Before this, he had also instructed Xiao Muyu not to reveal too much information. She only said that he had helped her with his own experience. After all, after Xiao Muyu had become a disciple, she had cultivated with him to prove her way. This matter could not be hidden.
Xiao Muyu's deep eyes looked at Ye Futian. When did her master become so humble and honest?
"Master, you taught me how to cultivate and break through to the next level. That was more than just a little bit of effort. When I return, I will definitely be filial to you and help you …"
"Cough, cough …" Ye Futian coughed and interrupted Xiao Muyu. Looking at the faint smile in Xiao Muyu's eyes, he said, "As a master, this is what I should do. Muyu, you should cultivate well. That would be the best way to repay your master."
Was this girl trying to expose his past?
Where was his image?
"I understand." Xiao Muyu smiled. Xiao Hanjiang did not really understand the conversation between the two of them. He said, "Emperor Ye, I am Muyu's father, and you are her master. Although there is a big difference in age between us, we are of the same generation in terms of seniority. You don't have to call me senior. If you don't mind, you can just call me Brother Xiao.
How about that? "" Since Brother Xiao has spoken, I will naturally obey. " Ye Futian raised his cup and clinked glasses with Xiao Hanjiang. Xiao Hanjiang was trying to get closer to him. Since he had already taken Xiao Muyu as his disciple, he wanted to use this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Xiao clan. Naturally, he would not refuse to be closer to Xiao Hanjiang.
"Brother Ye is straightforward." Xiao Hanjiang drained his cup in one gulp. Xiao Qianshan also revealed a smile.
"Little friend Ye, now that you call Hanjiang brother, and you are also Muyu's master, we can be considered family in the future. If there is anything you need, just tell us. If we can do our best, we will do our best," Xiao Qianshan said brightly.
A possessor of a perfect Divine Wheel had endless potential. Moreover, he was so close to Xiao Muyu.
"Since the old man has spoken, please don't be annoyed if I disturb you in the future," Ye Futian said jokingly.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious. There was not a hint of disharmony. After all, Xiao Muyu's status was completely different now. At least in this line, all the elders from top to bottom would spare no effort to support her, who was about to be conferred the title of Goddess.
Thud.
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps in the distance. They seemed to be a little heavy.
The group of people looked into the distance and saw a group of figures walking over from the direction of the banquet. They did not seem to be moving very quickly, but they quickly reached the stairs not far from the banquet. They walked up the stairs step by step towards them.
Everyone stopped eating. Xiao Qianshan frowned. He seemed to be a little displeased.
The matter was about to be settled. What else did they want?
Thud. The sound of their footsteps was not very loud, but it was as if they were stepping on everyone's hearts. The person in the lead was also an old man. His cultivation was very strong. He was an upper-level Renhuang. He could already be considered a powerful figure.
"They are from the other line of the clan. Previously, one of their juniors was the most likely to become the heir of the clan. He is that young man. His name is Xiao Lan. He is a middle-level Renhuang with a fourth-tier Divine Wheel," Xiao Muyu transmitted her voice to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian's gaze swept across those people. It stopped for a moment on the young man in the second row.
"If the Xiao clan does not have a perfect Divine Wheel, they will not confer the title of God or Goddess, unless someone is about to surpass the clan leader," Ye Futian transmitted his voice in reply. If Xiao Muyu had not forged a flawless Divine Wheel and displayed her extraordinary talent, then that position would have remained empty. Then, all the disciples of the clan would have continued to compete for it and grow. Ye Futian replied telepathically.
Until the most powerful figure appeared.
However, Xiao Muyu's sudden appearance had caused the Xiao clan to firmly believe that she was the only existence in the clan. Competing with each other would only deplete their strength. Hence, they had held this conferring ceremony. The entire clan's power would assist her alone.
"The clan has already designated you as the Goddess. Why did they still come here? What is the meaning of this?" Ye Futian could naturally see that they did not come with good intentions.
"I'm afraid they are unwilling. After the grand ceremony, even if they are unwilling, everything will be over. At that time, the Goddess will be the person with the highest status in the clan, aside from the clan leader. They will not have a chance," Xiao Muyu replied.
"Do they want to take a breather?" Ye Futian thought to himself. The status of the Goddess was indeed like that of the Crown Prince of the dynasty. Aside from the Emperor, she was almost the person with the highest status.
"Clan brother, why have you come personally?" Xiao Qianshan asked the leading elder. Clearly, the elder was older than him. He was his clan brother.
"I heard that Muyu's master has arrived, so I came to pay a visit. I want to see who is the master who has cultivated the future Goddess for our Xiao clan," the elder said. He referred to her as the future Goddess. Clearly, before the ceremony, he still did not intend to acknowledge her as the Goddess.
If he acknowledged her now, it would not be appropriate for him to come here.
Ye Futian saw that the elder's first words were to him. It seemed that as Xiao Muyu's master, he had indirectly changed the Xiao clan and created a successor. This had a great impact on many people.
"This is Ye Futian, one of the few who forged a perfect Divine Wheel in the God's relic. He is Muyu's master," Xiao Qianshan pointed at Ye Futian beside him and introduced him.
"This is my clan brother," Xiao Qianshan said.
"Ye Futian greets the elder." Ye Futian nodded at the elder.
The elder who had arrived also nodded at Ye Futian. He did not show any lack of etiquette.
"Ye Futian has helped Muyu prove her Way and cultivated the future Goddess for our Xiao clan. I am extremely grateful." The elder's voice was full of energy. He was not rude at all. He said, "My junior, Xiao Lan, has decent cultivation talent. Now, he is a mid-level Renhuang with a fourth-tier Divine Wheel. Can I ask Ye Futian to teach him a thing or two and see if it can help his cultivation?"
Many people at the banquet revealed strange expressions. After all, Ye Futian had just entered the Renhuang Plane. No matter how talented he was, how could he teach a mid-level Renhuang with a fourth-tier Divine Wheel?
However, the elder did not say how he would teach Ye Futian. It was not necessarily a spar. Thus, this was actually a test for Ye Futian. He had given Ye Futian a difficult problem.
After all, Ye Futian was the master of the Goddess. Asking him to teach Xiao Lan a lesson was not inappropriate on the surface.
"Brother Ye, you can directly refuse," Xiao Hanjiang transmitted to Ye Futian. Xiao Hanjiang said to Ye Futian telepathically. Even though Xiao Hanjiang was unwilling and had come to find Ye Futian, everything had already been settled. If Ye Futian refused, nothing would happen.
After all, they were from the same clan. The elder could not really do anything.
"Master, don't worry about it," Xiao Muyu also said.
Ye Futian was silent for a moment. He put down his wine cup and glanced at Xiao Muyu. "You are about to be conferred the title of Goddess. If I do everything right, wouldn't you lose face as the Goddess?"
As he said this, he smiled and stood up. "Alright!"
