Days passed. The Cangye Imperial Palace was very busy these days. Emperors from the Hundred Lands came to visit.
The six kingdoms had declared their allegiance. The dynasty was established and no one dared to join forces against the Cangye Kingdom. Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and the other three were now disciples of the top forces in the Eastern Barren Territory. The rise of the Cangye Kingdom was unstoppable. They could only go with the flow.
Before they knew it, the 10001st year of the Divine Prefecture Calendar was about to pass.
On the last night of the year, the Cangye Imperial Palace was brightly lit. There was an annual banquet in the emperor's palace.
Emperor Ye, the queen, the princes, and princesses were all there. Ye Futian's group was there as well. Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu were there too. It was very lively.
"Come, everyone, let's have a toast." Emperor Ye raised his cup. Everyone smiled and raised theirs, drinking the wine in their cups.
"I don't know why, but I feel like a lot has happened this year. It's like many years have passed. It's so long," Emperor Ye said with a smile. "I wonder if it's because I'm old and too emotional."
"I feel the same." Hua Fengliu nodded. "I didn't do much this year but I feel like I've experienced a lot."
"Master, you recovered from your injuries and married Aunt Tang. How can you say you didn't do much?" Ye Futian interrupted, smiling.
"That's true. I've seen you experience so much," Hua Fengliu sighed.
"I think so." Ye Futian smiled. He did feel that way.
Many things had happened to him this year.
He escaped from Donghai City to the Cangye Kingdom, attended the Fenghua Banquet, then went to the Tingfeng Banquet. Then Luo Junlin entered the Royal Xuan Temple, the Ancient Barren World opened, ventured into the Ancient Barren World, and returned.
Everything had happened in a short year. He felt like he'd experienced too much.
"The world is really unpredictable," Yi Xiang sighed. "Two days before the end of last year, I was planning to send Ye Futian and Yu Sheng to the Tingfeng Banquet in the Nandou Imperial City. Everything changed after that. Luckily, it's all in the past now. Ye Futian has worked hard."
Hua Fengliu nodded. At the end of last year, he'd almost been doomed.
"It's rare to get a compliment from you," Ye Futian said with a smile. It was not easy to get a compliment from Yi Xiang.
"Don't be too full of yourself. Emperor Luo is still alive and Luo Junlin will continue to cultivate in the Royal Xuan Temple. Everything is not over yet. Don't forget what Elder Qin did for you. You have to take revenge yourself in the future." Yi Xiang suddenly said in a serious tone. It was necessary to strike a blow at Ye Futian. It was easy for young people to become complacent. He naturally knew of Ye Futian's talent. It was unparalleled, but it was precisely because of such talent that he could not be impetuous.
Ye Futian needed a strong motivation at all times.
"I know." Ye Futian nodded seriously. Thinking of his grandmaster, his smile disappeared.
Emperor Luo, Minister Hua, the Nandou Clan, and Donghai Academy were all responsible for forcing Grandmaster to his death. This debt had not been settled yet.
The news of the Cangye Kingdom would probably reach the City of Donghai. Ye Futian wondered what the "important figures" of the Nandou clan and Donghai Academy were thinking now. Could he still be as high and mighty as before?
"Father, let's not talk about these things today," Yi Qingxuan said.
"Okay, let's not talk about it." Yi Xiang nodded. "Let's talk about you and Yusheng."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yi Qingxuan blushed. Yi Xiang immediately laughed.
"Time flies. In the blink of an eye, you're already 18." Hua Fengliu smiled at the young man before him. The events at Qingzhou Academy were still fresh in his mind. He did not expect them to grow up so quickly.
At 18, they were no longer teenagers. They were about to start a new life.
"I'm 18. Father-in-law, when will you let Jieyu marry me?" Ye Futian asked, smiling.
Everyone looked at him with smiles. Nandou Wenyin said softly, "Back in the Nandou Clan, I made the decision to let her marry you. She's already yours. What's the rush?"
"Ah …" Ye Futian blinked. Then he smiled at Hua Jieyu and nodded seriously. "Masteress is right."
"Mother." Seeing Ye Futian's sneaky smile, Hua Jieyu could not help but look at her mother. Who would sell their daughter like this?
Everyone at the banquet looked at Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. At the age of 18, Ye Futian was already extraordinarily handsome and elegant. Hua Jieyu was even more slender and elegant. Compared to her inexperienced 15 or 16 years old self in the City of Qingzhou, the 18-year-old Hua Jieyu was already a true beauty. She had perfectly inherited the looks of Hua Fengliu and Nandou Wenyin, and was brimming with the purity and beauty of youth.
When the two sat together, it was like a painting unfolding before everyone's eyes. They silently wished them good luck and only hoped that they could be like this for the rest of their lives.
The banquet ended in a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Ye Futian and the young people prepared to go out for a walk.
The Cangye Imperial City was bustling at the end of the year. It was even livelier than Qingzhou City.
"Danchen, Lingxi, where are we going?" Ye Futian asked as they walked on the bustling streets of Cangye City.
"Do you want to go to the lake?" Ye Lingxi asked, smiling.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded.
"I'll take you to Cangye Lake." Ye Lingxi smiled and led the way. After a while, they arrived at Cangye Lake.
Under the night sky, the lights were bright and fireworks were dazzling. Pleasure boats flowed endlessly on the lake. It was a beautiful sight.
"I'll go find a boat?" Ye Danchen asked.
"You help them. I want Hua Jieyu to stay here and enjoy the lake view," Ye Futian said, smiling.
"You want to spend time with just the two of you." Liu Feiyang laughed. "Seems like I'm extra. Wuchen, help me look after Chenyu. I'll go back first."
With that, he really turned and left.
"Then you guys go have fun. I'll walk around with Lingxi." Ye Danchen smiled and looked at the two of them. Then, the two of them left together.
"Let's go to the lake." Yi Qingxuan pulled Yu Sheng away.
Ye Futian looked at Ye Wuchen and Liu Chenyu with a smile. He just watched them quietly.
"Walk around?" Liu Chenyu glared at Ye Futian and then asked Ye Wuchen.
"Okay." Ye Wuchen nodded. Then the two left.
By Cangye Lake, only Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were left. Of course, there were many tourists around too. Sometimes, they would look at the two. Their temperament and appearance were too outstanding.
Some people recognized Ye Futian and were shocked. This was the person who had changed the situation in the Hundred Lands and gathered the top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory.
"Why do I feel like you're plotting something?" Hua Jieyu looked at Ye Futian.
"Don't you feel like we've met before?" Ye Futian asked, smiling.
"Yes." Hua Jieyu nodded. Back in Qingzhou City, this was the scene, but the Cangye Kingdom was even more lively.
Ye Futian reached out and held her hand. Looking at the scenery before them, he smiled brightly. "I miss it. Do you want to confess to me again?"
Hua Jieyu blinked and blushed. She wanted to pull her hand away from Ye Futian's.
Ye Futian did not let her break free. He held her hand tightly and turned his head to look at the beautiful face in front of him.
Hua Jieyu glared at him coquettishly and turned her head away. She snorted softly, but there was shyness on her face. The blush on her face was breathtaking.
This guy was teasing her on purpose.
Back at Qingzhou Lake, she was the one who held Ye Futian's hand and confirmed their relationship.
"Why is my fox always so charming? My heart can't help but race when I see you," Ye Futian said softly. Hua Jieyu stared at him without blinking and blushed even more. What was wrong with this guy today?
"Did you do something bad?" Hua Jieyu's eyes flashed and she asked suspiciously.
Ye Futian's face darkened. "What bad things can I do?"
"Are you planning to do bad things when I'm not by your side in the Eastern Barren Territory?" Hua Jieyu asked, smiling.
"I only have eyes for you," Ye Futian said seriously.
"Hmph." Hua Jieyu snorted and turned her head away. A bright smile appeared in her eyes and she felt sweetness in her heart. Even if this guy was just sweet-talking her, she was still willing to be tricked.
"Close your eyes," Ye Futian said again. Hua Jieyu stared at him and asked shyly, "What do you want?"
Ye Futian reached out and gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist. He moved his head closer and closer.
Hua Jieyu's heart raced. Her blushing face was beautiful. She closed her eyes slowly and looked up. The lights shone on her beautiful face, stunning her.
Ye Futian's heart raced. He hugged her and kissed her red lips. Time seemed to stop at that moment.
At that moment, countless fireworks rose into the sky and bloomed in the air.
Countless gazes looked up at the sky, looking at the dazzling fireworks that filled the sky. It was a beautiful sight.
"So beautiful." Countless people exclaimed. Why were the fireworks so neat and beautiful?
On the path beside the lake, Liu Chenyu and Ye Wuchen were strolling. Suddenly, they looked up at the sky and stopped involuntarily.
"So beautiful," Liu Chenyu murmured. Her heart trembled.
Ye Wuchen looked at the fireworks and then looked down at Liu Chenyu. Under the fireworks, Liu Chenyu was so charming.
As if feeling something, Liu Chenyu looked away and saw Ye Wuchen looking at her. Her heart skipped a beat.
On the Cangye Lake, Yu Sheng and Yi Qingxuan were on the boat. They looked up at the beautiful fireworks in the sky. Yi Qingxuan leaned into Yu Sheng's arms, hoping that this moment would last forever.
Hua Jieyu opened her eyes slowly. Ye Futian was still kissing her. The fireworks were so beautiful that it seemed to be blooming for her.
In this situation, she actually closed her eyes again, and an incomparably moving and brilliant smile appeared on her face.
Time seemed to stop.
The painting was eternal at this moment!
