He Jiang fell to the ground. His cultivation had been destroyed and his face was ashen.
He knew what this meant to him.
The Donghua Clan looked at Gu Dongliu and Xue Ye and said coldly, "Gu Dongliu, have you thought about the price of doing this?"
Gu Dongliu walked out and returned to the dragon's back. Then Xue Ye glanced at him emotionlessly with some disdain.
Price? Didn't the Donghua Clan think about it when they attacked the Cottage?
"Go ahead," Gu Dongliu said.
Gu Dongliu said. Then, the black dragon let out a dragon roar. Its huge body rose up, then turned around and rushed into the clouds, heading into the distance.
Countless people stared at the gradually disappearing figure in white. Their hearts were in turmoil and they were unable to remain calm.
Only the Cottage could be so carefree in the Eastern Barren Territory.
Only they dared to ignore the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan.
If you want to start a war, go ahead.
Even if it was only the Cottage, they weren't afraid.
The College glanced at the Donghua Clan. Situ Wu said, "Let's go."
As soon as he finished, the College left.
Then, the Sword Saint Mountain and the Liu Kingdom left one after another.
The Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan were still standing there. Outside the palace, the top forces and people from the Qin imperial city all had strange expressions.
Was today really the grand ceremony for the Qin Dynasty to crown the crown prince?
Qin Yu's name should have spread all over the world on such a day.
But today, people would only remember the Cottage's disciple coming all the way to the Qin imperial palace and crippling the Donghua Clan's Noble.
They would only remember the Cottage's third disciple, Gu Dongliu, and the frivolous scholar, Xue Ye.
This day was destined to be remembered. But the person who would be remembered was not Qin Yu, who had become the crown prince.
The Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan were just supporting characters.
Qian Shanmu stared at the disappearing figure for a long time. He had many feelings about what had happened this time. It was caused by his meeting with Qin Mengruo and gradually evolved into a clash between the two forces. The Donghua Clan's temporary defeat ended in defeat.
Of course, what really moved him was not the Donghua Clan being humiliated but the Cottage disciples.
Gu Dongliu, Xue Ye, and even Ye Futian and Yu Sheng were all so outstanding. Was this the Cottage, the holy land of the Eastern Barren Territory and an unbreakable legend?
Today, he saw Gu Dongliu's arrogance. Compared to his senior brother, Gu Dongliu's temperament was sharper. He often cultivated with his senior brother, so he naturally understood.
Now, he really wanted to know who was stronger, his legendary senior brother or Gu Dongliu.
Today, the Donghua Clan's Noble was disabled. What happened here would definitely be foreshadowing for the future. He had a feeling that there would be a battle between the two of them.
Gu Dongliu and Ye Futian naturally did not know what they were thinking. Even if they did, they would not care.
The Cottage had its own way of doing things.
On the black dragon, Gu Dongliu stood beside Ye Futian and said, "This is not over."
Stunned, Ye Futian looked at Gu Dongliu.
Looking forward, Gu Dongliu stood with his hands behind his back and said emotionlessly, "Although the Qin Dynasty will not admit it, they definitely have something to do with this. Luo Fan already told me that the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan must be working together to suppress the Cottage. That's why they attacked you. However, I am not strong enough to suppress the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan. Thus, today, I can only disable the person who attacked Yu Sheng.
"Third Senior Brother."
Ye Futian's heart was filled with warmth. Third and Fourth Senior Brothers had come all the way to the Qin Imperial Palace to get revenge for him and Yu Sheng. They had crippled a Noble of the Donghua Clan, but they still felt that they had not done enough.
"Junior Brother."
Gu Dongliu's gaze turned and landed on Ye Futian. "The Master once said something to the Cottage disciples. Now, I will tell you."
"Okay." Ye Futian nodded.
"The Master said that the most important thing in the world is to respect one's Master," Gu Dongliu said slowly. Ye Futian was stunned. Then, his face was filled with astonishment.
This … was indeed the Master of the Cottage. Impressive.
However, Gu Dongliu did not feel that there was anything wrong with this sentence. It was as if it was the truth. He continued, "Other than that, you have to be reasonable. What is reasonable? The rules of the world are reasonable. If the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan challenged you, as long as you agreed, you would have to bear the consequences yourself. The Cottage would not take revenge for you. This is the truth. However, they did not follow the rules. Therefore, the Cottage has nothing to fear.
"If there is anything greater than 'reason', it would be your fist. If your fist is not hard enough, you do not even have the right to be reasonable. Therefore, the most fundamental thing in life is still cultivation."
Ye Futian was filled with respect. Although these were simple words, they seemed to be wise words.
He could not help but be more and more curious about the Master. The Cottage had fought many battles and formed the Cottage's strength of character.
This strength of character was probably formed by the Master whom he had not met yet.
However, thinking of the first sentence, he felt embarrassed. What kind of person was the Master exactly?
"I will remember." Ye Futian nodded.
"One more thing. Before I came, I wanted Yu Sheng to become the ninth disciple of the Cottage," Gu Dongliu continued.
Ye Futian was stunned. Then, he smiled.
The moment Yu Sheng stepped into the Cottage with him, he knew that Yu Sheng would naturally become a true Cottage disciple like him.
Of course, his feelings for the Cottage back then were different from the feelings he had now.
At that time, the Cottage was mysterious and powerful in his eyes.
Now, the Cottage was warm and like a home to him.
Of course, he was happy that Yu Sheng could become a part of it.
"But Yu Sheng refused," Gu Dongliu continued. Ye Futian's smile froze. He looked at Gu Dongliu, stunned.
"He said that if you are here, he will be here," Gu Dongliu said slowly.
Ye Futian cursed in a low voice, "This idiot."
"He is indeed an idiot." Gu Dongliu smiled. "However, I admire him. Even if he is not the ninth disciple of the Cottage, he is still a part of the Cottage."
"Thank you, Third Senior Brother." Ye Futian also smiled.
"Why aren't you thanking me?" Xue Ye moved closer, somewhat depressed.
"Fourth Senior Brother, I feel that you should copy more books after returning to the Cottage," Ye Futian said, smiling. Ye Futian said with a smile. He was speaking from the bottom of his heart. For the Fourth Brother, copying books must be very useful.
"Break off our relationship." Xue Ye's face darkened. Then, he looked at Gu Dongliu and smiled shakily. "Third Senior Brother, I miss the teacher. I want to go find him."
Looking at Xue Ye, Gu Dongliu smiled and patted his shoulder. "Junior Brother, the teacher will definitely be very touched. As for finding him, there's no need. If he doesn't want to come back, no one can find him."
"Then I want to go to the mortal world to train and understand the love and hatred of the world," Xue Ye said.
"Why are you unhappy with me?" Gu Dongliu stood with his hands behind his back and asked Xue Ye.
Xue Ye was stunned. Then, he smiled shakily. "How can that be? Third Senior Brother, you are so wise."
"Yes." Gu Dongliu nodded. "So you are unhappy with Second Senior Sister?"
Xue Ye shuddered and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, I think I should go back to the Cottage. I still want to listen to Second Senior Sister's teachings."
"Junior Brother is still very sensible." Gu Dongliu nodded. Xue Ye was depressed.
Ye Futian stared at this scene, dumbfounded. His expression was a little exaggerated. This … was amazing.
Xue Ye seemed to notice something. He looked at Ye Futian and glared at him.
Ye Futian looked away but didn't see anything.
…
When Ye Futian and the others returned to the Cottage, Yu Sheng's injuries were much better.
The fifth senior brother must have helped him recover a lot.
Second Senior Sister looked at the three. She didn't ask what happened in the Qin Dynasty. Since Gu Dongliu had gone personally, he definitely wouldn't return before the matter was settled.
Thus, she didn't need to ask.
She looked at Ye Futian and said, "Little brother, come here."
"Oh." Ye Futian nodded and walked to her. "Senior Sister."
"Are you hurt?" Zhuge Hui asked, looking him up and down.
"No, I'm fine," Ye Futian said, smiling.
"That's good. Did your fifth senior brother not take good care of you this time?" Zhuge Hui asked.
Hearing this, Luo Fan, who was cooking, looked up and shook his head violently at Ye Futian.
"Uh …" Seeing Luo Fan's movement, Ye Futian smiled. "Senior Brother took good care of me. What happened was purely an accident."
Luo Fan heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he revealed a jealous and aggrieved expression. He said pitifully, "Second Senior Sister, do you have to be so biased?"
Life on the mountain had been difficult.
"I finally have a junior brother. Of course, I have to take good care of him," Second Senior Sister said, smiling. Yi Xiaoshi's face darkened and he was extremely frustrated. Before Ye Futian came, he was also the little brother. Why didn't he enjoy this kind of treatment? Yi Xiaoshi thought to himself.
Was the difference so obvious?
Ye Futian shook his head. "There are eight of us in the Cottage. Only Second Senior Sister and Sixth Senior Sister are girls. They're like fairies. We should be the ones protecting and sharing our burdens."
Luo Fan and Yi Xiaoshi stared at Ye Futian with their mouths agape. They finally knew where the gap between them was.
As expected, Second Senior Sister smiled brightly. "Junior brother is so sensible."
Luo Fan's face was covered in tears. He lowered his head and continued cooking. He missed the days at the foot of the mountain. He didn't know when he would have the chance to go out again.
…
After a few days, what happened outside the Qin palace spread to the Eastern Barren Territory. It caused a huge commotion and countless people were discussing it.
People didn't know what happened in the palace. Only the top forces knew the details. However, outside the palace, the Cottage crippled the Donghua Clan's Noble. It was enough to shake the entire Eastern Barren Territory.
Countless eyes focused on the Donghua Clan. As the top clan in the Eastern Barren Territory, how could the Donghua Clan let this go?
No matter what happened in the Qin palace, it had nothing to do with right or wrong anymore. It was about the battle between the two forces.
