The girl quickly retracted her gaze and looked down at her feet.
"What's your name?" Ye Futian asked.
The girl shook her head and said softly, "I don't have a name."
"You don't have a name?" Ye Futian was stunned. "Then what about your family?"
The girl still shook her head and didn't speak. She didn't have a family either.
She didn't know how she came to this world and didn't know how she survived. She only knew that she was an unlucky person. Anyone who came into contact with her didn't have a good ending.
"I'll take you back," Yaya said softly.
The girl shook her head and retracted her hand.
"What's wrong?" Ye Futian asked.
"Big brother and sister are good people. I don't want to drag you down. Although I don't want to harm anyone, I know I'm unlucky. Anyone who meets me will be unlucky," the girl said weakly.
"What a coincidence. I'm the same," Ye Futian said with a smile. Hearing his smile, the girl looked up at his eyes, thinking that they were probably the best eyes she had ever seen in her life.
They were handsome and warm.
"Really?" the girl asked shyly.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. "Then if we get together, it'll be like fighting poison with poison."
The girl didn't really understand, but she could feel Ye Futian's friendly smile. An innocent smile appeared on her dirty face. Although she didn't look handsome, her smile made people feel comfortable. It was simple and pure.
Ye Futian and Yaya reached out their hands. The girl smiled and held each of them.
"How about I give you a name?" Yaya asked softly.
"Can I?" The girl looked at Ye Futian. She was a little timid but also expectant.
"Of course." Ye Futian nodded. He thought for a moment and asked, "What do you like?"
"I don't know." The girl shook her head, a little disappointed.
"Then is there anything you want to do?" Ye Futian asked.
The girl looked up at Ye Futian and said shyly, "I want to be prettier. I don't have to hide every day. I want to be like an ordinary girl."
Ye Futian was stunned and felt a little sad. It was such a simple wish, but to the girl, it was an extravagant wish.
Seeing Ye Futian's expression, the girl lowered her head and thought that this was probably just her wishful thinking. Her brother and sister were not related to her at all, so why would they bring her along?
Soon, she would probably be alone again.
Thinking of this, her expression became gloomy again, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Qingyao, how is it?" Ye Futian asked softly.
The girl looked up at him and giggled. "Qingyao … I like it a lot. Thank you, big brother."
"Can I have the surname Ye?" Beside him, Yaya looked at Ye Futian with anticipation.
Ye Futian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. Yaya's heart had probably been moved by Profile Shadow. Back then, she had also gone through a period of darkness.
At that time, Ye Futian was her pillar of support. Therefore, she could roughly understand how the girl felt at that moment. Moreover, she was much older than the girl at that time.
"Of course." Ye Futian nodded. Naturally, he would not reject Yaya's intentions.
The girl did not know what the two of them were talking about, so she raised her head and looked at them curiously. She saw that many people were looking at her with kind smiles in their eyes, making her feel warm inside.
"My surname is Ye," Yaya said to the girl.
The girl was obviously stunned for a moment. Seeing the kind smiles around her, she lowered her head slightly, and a tear rolled down her cheek. However, she quickly controlled it. She was used to being alone, and she had long been stronger than her peers. Although she was only in her teens, she would not cry no matter what she encountered.
Ye Qingyao.
She silently noted it in her heart. She did not say thank you, but today was the happiest day of her life in more than a decade, because she had a name.
Moreover, the name was so beautiful. It was even more beautiful than the names of the playmates she had met in the past.
It was like the names of the princesses and young ladies of the noble families. It was so beautiful.
Ye Futian and the others found an inn to stay. Yaya took Qingyao to wash up and change into a clean set of clothes. Then, she coaxed her to sleep.
In the courtyard, Ye Futian sat there quietly.
Yaya came to sit beside him and said softly, "She has been holding on to me and refusing to sleep. I am afraid that we will leave after she falls asleep. She is still talking in her sleep after falling asleep. She keeps calling out the name Ye Qingyao with a smile on her face. Probably, she has been silently repeating it in her heart."
Ye Futian sighed. They had only met by chance, and there was no relationship to speak of. It was just a coincidence that a group of cultivators bullied a little girl, and he could not just sit back and watch.
But he knew that the world of cultivation was too big. This kind of thing happened every day, and he could not do anything about it.
However, if it was just Qingyao alone, it would still be easy for her to have a simple living environment.
"You will take her back, right?" Yaya said to Ye Futian.
"Yaya, you have never cared so much for anyone before," Ye Futian said with a smile. Of course, other than himself, Yaya certainly did not care about him. She had risked her life several times.
She usually did not have much of a presence and was quiet. But if he was in danger, Yaya would definitely be one of the people who would risk her life for him. He knew this better than anyone else.
Seeing that Yaya did not say anything and only looked at him, Ye Futian smiled and nodded. "You like that girl, take her with you."
"Yes." Yaya nodded.
"But Qingyao is not a simple girl," Ye Futian said.
"I have the same feeling. She said that she is unlucky. Can you see anything?" Yaya asked.
"I have always thought that cultivation is one step at a time, and it is impossible to make a leap. People in the world need a stable foundation to cultivate. But after seeing Yaya, I feel that I am wrong," Ye Futian said softly.
"You mean, Qingyao's cultivation is very high?" Yaya asked.
"No." Ye Futian shook his head. "She has no cultivation, but she can understand the Mysterious Realm."
Yaya was stunned and did not understand.
"Qingyao, she may be similar to the legendary born body of the Great Path," Ye Futian said, looking at Yaya. Anything that could cause his Life Spirit to move was a divine item. Now, Qingyao's eyes actually caused his Life Spirit to move.
That was a little scary.
The pitiful little girl they had saved might be the most terrifying monster he had ever seen, and there was no one else like her.
Feixue had a divine item in her body. When she could cultivate, her cultivation speed was extremely fast, even fast.
However, it was possible that Qingyao didn't need to cultivate at all.
He had never seen such a situation before. Qingyao was the first person who had subverted his understanding. Just like the legend, she was born with a born body of the Great Path and a divine fetus.
This was not something that Zhan Yuan and Yi Tianyu could compare with.
However, Ye Futian did not think too much about it. For him, Qingyao was first and foremost a poor little girl.
As for everything else, he would leave it to fate.
Moreover, the force in the alley was not simple. They might have found something. Otherwise, they would not have attacked a little girl. They were even a little vigilant at that time.
It was hard to imagine that several Renhuang would be vigilant against a little girl who did not know how to cultivate.
If the other party was a big force in Jiuyou City, they might not let it go so easily.
Just as Ye Futian thought, a group of people came to their inn the next day. Although they did not deliberately release pressure, they still gave people a sense of solemnity.
The people in the inn all stayed away from them. The entire inn was empty except for Ye Futian's group. In the void far away, a group of people appeared outside the inn.
A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd. He was wearing a black robe and had a terrifying aura.
The people in the distance watched all this from afar and were inexplicably surprised. Which big figure had come to the inn? The Hierophant of Jiuyou City had come in person?
Jiuyou Cult had been in Jiuyou City for many years. It had experienced the rise and fall of generations and had been destroyed many times. However, it quickly rose from the ashes and repeated itself. But the name Jiuyou Cult had been passed down to this day.
The Hierophant of Jiuyou Cult was extremely terrifying. He rarely showed himself. He would not show up unless something shocking happened in Jiuyou City.
But today, he had come here.
"I heard that Renhuang Ye of the Heavenly Mandate Academy has come to Jiuyou City. Jiuyou Cult has come to visit," a voice said. The people of Jiuyou Cult were all outside the inn. They did not directly enter. With the status of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, no force dared to act recklessly.
Although Jiuyou Cult was the local tyrant of Jiuyou City, they did not have the resources of a supreme force.
It was said that Hierophant Jiuyou's strength was at the eighth tier of the Divine Wheel. He was already an extremely powerful existence.
Ye Qingyao seemed to know that these people had come for her. She had been hiding behind Yaya, grabbing her clothes. She was very afraid.
"Why has Hierophant Jiuyou come?" Ye Futian did not invite him in. Instead, he asked from afar.
"Renhuang Ye has come from afar. I have specially sent some gifts," Hierophant Jiuyou said. Hierophant Jiuyou said. Immediately, many maids walked forward with gift boxes in their hands. Moreover, every single one of them was extremely sexy and beautiful. They were all rare beauties. Their clothes were also very thin, which showed off their graceful figures.
Ye Qingyao's grip on Yaya's clothes tightened.
"I won't accept them without merit. I appreciate your kindness, Hierophant Jiuyou," Ye Futian refused. Although Hierophant Jiuyou had given him face, if he had come for Ye Qingyao, he could not just hand her over like this.
Hierophant Jiuyou was also a very tactful person. He waved his hand, and immediately the women retreated. He did not insist. For someone like Ye Futian, if he said he would not accept them, he would naturally not accept them.
"I have long heard of Renhuang Ye's name. I should not have come to disturb you. Renhuang Ye, you must also see that this girl is not simple. I have cultivated for so many years, and it is rare to see such a good seedling. I want her to inherit my mantle. I hope Renhuang Ye can fulfill my wish," Hierophant Jiuyou said. He could naturally see that Ye Qingyao and Yaya seemed to have a relationship.
Thus, he did not say that he had come to take her. Instead, he wanted to take her as a disciple.
"Qingyao, are you willing?" Ye Futian did not refuse. Instead, he looked at Ye Qingyao and asked.
Ye Qingyao shook her head and said, "I want to follow my brother and sister."
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded and revealed an apologetic expression to Hierophant Jiuyou!
