On the Eastern Deity Island, the people who had entered the Core Island left one after another. There were also a few who chose to join the Eastern Deity Island and prepared to stay and cultivate.
Ye Futian naturally did not leave. After that, he stayed on Eastern Deity Island to cultivate.
The Eastern Deity Island provided Ye Futian with good food and drinks every day. Goddess Baimu of the Eastern Deity Island came to serve Ye Futian every day. Many cultivators of the Eastern Deity Island were somewhat dissatisfied. They all said that Baimu was now like Ye Futian's maid.
They all thought that Ye Futian had agreed to join the Eastern Deity Island to cultivate. However, even if he had joined the Eastern Deity Island and had outstanding talent, there was no need for Baimu to suffer so much, right?
On the Eastern Deity Island, Baimu's talent was considered outstanding. An otherworldly empress serving Ye Futian every day made many people feel strange. If they became Path Companions, they could accept it.
However, Bai Mu did not say anything, nor did she feel wronged. The Island Master's orders naturally had a deeper meaning.
As for the matter of the "Second Island Lord," the Eastern Deity Island did not make it public. Only a few core members knew about it. Even the goddesses of the Eastern Deity Island did not know. Of course, Ye Futian himself did not know either. However, looking at the attitude of the Eastern Deity Island, many things became clear.
On this day, in a great hall of Eastern Deity Island, Bai Mu and Goddess Huang stood there, respectfully facing the peerless empress in front of them, the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island.
"Baimu, how have you been getting along with Pavilion Master Ye these few days?" the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island asked.
"Very good." Bai Mu nodded slightly. "Pavilion Master Ye is quite easy-going and easy to get along with."
The Island Lord nodded slightly and glanced at Goddess Huang. This person's name was Huang Yan, and she was the direct disciple of the Eastern Deity Island Island Lord. Her talent was extraordinary, and she held her in high regard. Seeing that her master was looking at her, Huang Yan said, "Master, there has been some gossip on the island these few days. Pavilion Master Ye's talent is extraordinary. Although he has entered the Eastern Deity Island to cultivate, is there a need to treat him like this?"
The Island Lord glanced at her and said, "Huang Yan, you can leave first."
Huang Yan was taken aback, a trace of confusion in her eyes, but she still nodded and bowed, "Yes, Master."
After saying that, she turned around and left the place. She didn't know how her words had displeased her master.
Bai Mu also did not understand. At this moment, she was the only one left.
"Bai Mu, what do you think of Pavilion Master Ye?" the Island Lord asked.
"Unparalleled talent." Bai Mu replied, "Even Jiang Jiuming of the ancient royal family might not necessarily be more outstanding than him. On and off the Eastern Deity Island, he has displayed unparalleled talent."
"Yes." The Island Lord nodded. "Are you willing to cultivate with him?"
Bai Mu was taken aback. She lowered her head and said softly, "Master, Pavilion Master Ye already has a cultivation companion."
"We're not Dao-companions. We're just following him to cultivate." The Island Lord knew that she had misunderstood and continued speaking. Baimu lifted her head and looked at her master in surprise.
Did her master really want her to follow Ye Futian and serve him?
How much did he value Ye Futian?
"Bai Mu will naturally obey Master's orders," Bai Mu said softly.
"I'm not forcing you. I'm just asking for your opinion. If you're not willing, I won't force you. What I need is someone who is truly willing to follow him to cultivate, not because of my orders. You were the one who recommended him, and you know him the best. That's why I'm asking for your opinion," the Island Lord continued.
When Bai Mu heard her master's words, she revealed a thoughtful look. Listening to her master's words, she seemed to think more highly of Ye Futian than she had imagined.
Bai Mu thought about the process of getting to know Ye Futian. First, it was the conflict between him and Jun Qiuyan. Then, on the Eastern Deity Island, he crippled Jun Qiuyan. At that time, she still thought that Ye Futian was a little impulsive and should not have touched Jun Qiuyan. After all, it would be very dangerous for him to go out like this.
However, now she realized that she might have thought too much. On the Eastern Deity Island, Ye Futian was already able to directly influence her master and even let her follow him. If that was the case, then if the Jun family wanted to touch Ye Futian, the Eastern Deity Island would definitely not stand by and watch.
"I'm willing," Bai Mu nodded and bowed. Perhaps following Ye Futian to cultivate was also a fateful encounter. It all depended on fate.
"Hmm." The Eastern Deity Island Island Lord nodded slightly and said, "Since that is the case, I will tell you the truth. I have already made Ye Futian the second Island Lord of the Eastern Deity Island. He may carry the future of the Eastern Deity Island. Do you understand what I mean?"
Bai Mu's beautiful eyes revealed a look of shock as she looked up at her master.
"He obtained the elixir. Moreover, he also received my father's inheritance," the Eastern Deity Island Island Lord continued. Every word made Bai Mu's heart tremble.
Indeed, she had still underestimated him …
No wonder her master wanted her to follow him.
At that moment, the Eastern Deity Island Island Lord took out a sacred ancient token. It emanated an extremely powerful aura of the Great Path. This ancient token flew towards Bai Mu and floated in front of her. When Bai Mu saw this ancient token, a ripple appeared in her eyes. Clearly, she recognized it.
"Seeing this is like seeing me. Take it. When you need it, you can use it. Also, I will give the order to confer you the title of Goddess of the Eastern Deity Island." The voice of the Eastern Deity Island Lord made Bai Mu's state of mind extremely uneasy. Conferring an ancient token and conferring the title of Goddess was just to let her follow Ye Futian and cultivate.
"Most people on the Eastern Deity Island do not know what happened today. It is good that you understand. Do not reveal it to others," the Eastern Deity Island Lord said.
"Yes, Master." Bai Mu nodded. It seemed that this time, her master had chosen her and entrusted her with an important task.
"Go," the Eastern Deity Island Lord said. Bai Mu bowed slightly, then turned around and left. There was a huge wave in her heart that she could not calm down for a long time.
The Eastern Deity Island Island Lord watched her leave and sat there quietly. Ye Futian had inherited everything from her father and also obtained the elixir. Other than the fact that he was not a descendant of her father's bloodline, he was more like an heir. Thus, she conferred him the title of the Second Island Lord.
She was not greedy for power. Only strength could bring about power. Otherwise, it was just a fleeting cloud. If one day, Ye Futian could reach a certain height, she would not mind Ye Futian inheriting the Eastern Deity Island.
Although Zi Feng was following him, she felt that it was still not enough. Ye Futian was not a member of the Eastern Deity Island and did not have a sense of belonging to the Eastern Deity Island. She needed to constantly strengthen his feelings. Since she had acknowledged Ye Futian, then, of course, she had to bind Ye Futian.
Thus, she sent Bai Mu to serve him. She had also thought about choosing Huang Yan, but Huang Yan was a proud person. She was afraid that she would not be willing to serve Ye Futian, so she gave up and handed the matter to Bai Mu.
As for the matter of the Goddess, only Huang Yan could be wronged. If not for Ye Futian, the position of the Goddess would have been Huang Yan.
She looked outside and said in a clear voice, "Today, I officially confer the title of disciple Bai Mu as the Goddess of the Eastern Deity Island. She will be the leader of all the disciples. All the disciples of the Eastern Deity Island must listen to her orders."
This voice spread outside and spread throughout the entire Eastern Deity Island. In an instant, it resounded in the sky above the Eastern Deity Island.
Bai Mu, who had just left not long ago, stopped in her tracks. She did not look back. At this moment, she was not happy or excited. On the contrary, she had a long way to go. The current her was still not worthy of the position of the Goddess. Now that her master had bestowed this position to her, she could only make herself more outstanding.
Huang Yan was in another place. She turned her head and looked back at the ancient temple that she had just come out from. Her beautiful eyes were frozen there, and there was confusion and doubt in her eyes.
Confer the title of Goddess of the Eastern Deity Island.
Why?
Was it because of what happened in the ancient temple?
Did she say something wrong?
She was a little puzzled and could not understand. She was not jealous. She just could not understand why her master made such a decision.
No matter in any aspect, she was more outstanding than Bai Mu.
Not only her, but at this time, everyone on the Eastern Deity Island looked in the direction of the voice. Their hearts were slightly shaken. Bai Mu had been conferred the title of Goddess.
Then what about Huang Yan?
Why did the Island Lord confer the title to Bai Mu at this time?
"As the Island Lord commands, congratulations to the Goddess." At this moment, another voice resounded throughout the Eastern Deity Island. It was a powerful figure on the Eastern Deity Island.
"As the Island Lord commands, congratulations to the Goddess …"
After that, voices rang out one after another, responding to the Island Lord of the Eastern Deity Island. Soon, these voices drowned out the entire Eastern Deity Island and resonated with the heavens and the earth. It was like a decree of the Great Path, making people involuntarily accept it.
In the palace where Ye Futian was, he raised his head slightly. As the voices fell, their echoes lingered. Did this matter have anything to do with him?
"Emperor Ye." At this time, Shangguan Qiuye walked over and said to him, "Bai Mu has been conferred the title of Goddess. Before this, it was Bai Mu who invited you to the Eastern Deity Island, right?"
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded.
"I did not expect Goddess Bai Mu to have such luck." Shangguan Qiuye was a little emotional.
Just as she was speaking, a figure walked over from afar. When she saw the figure, Shangguan Qiuye was stunned. She had just mentioned Bai Mu, and she had actually come here.
This scene made her look strange. Bai Mu had just been conferred the title of Goddess. Even if there was no official conferring ceremony, shouldn't she be going to the Island Lord of the Eastern Deity Island?
No matter how she looked at it, she should not be here at this time.
"Pavilion Master Ye." Bai Mu landed on the ground and nodded at Ye Futian with a smile.
"Congratulations, Goddess," Ye Futian smiled and congratulated her.
"Congratulations, Goddess Bai," Shangguan Qiuye also congratulated her.
"Thank you," Bai Mu replied with a smile.
"Goddess, you have been conferred the title of Goddess. Why are you here?" Shangguan Qiuye asked, puzzled. Ye Futian did not ask. He faintly felt that this matter might have something to do with him.
"During this trip to the Eastern Deity Island, Pavilion Master Ye displayed unparalleled talent. Master conferred me the title of Goddess, but he also asked me to learn from Pavilion Master Ye. For many years, I have been cultivating on the Eastern Deity Island. Now, it is time for me to go out and gain experience. I wonder if I have the opportunity to go out and cultivate with Pavilion Master Ye?" Bai Mu asked softly. Her tone was extremely polite. Hearing her words, Ye Futian confirmed his guess.
It seemed that the Island Lord of the Eastern Deity Island had already made a decision to let a Goddess follow him to cultivate.
As expected, Bai Mu was conferred the title because of him.
Shangguan Qiuye, who was at the side, revealed a look of shock. How could she not understand such a situation? Bai Mu, who had just been conferred the title of Goddess, wanted to go out and cultivate with Ye Futian? Did she want the Goddess to become Ye Futian's path companion?
Clearly, her understanding was a little off!
