Madame Long said that it was good for Long Mu to be taught a lesson. She obviously didn't want to argue with him over this. However, she also mentioned Long Mu's position in her and Ling 'er's father's eyes. This was a hint to him and he knew what to do.
Even though he didn't like Long Mu, he wouldn't take it too seriously for the sake of Madame Long and Long Ling 'er … He could just beat him up when he was unhappy.
"You have to tell me what you got there, right?" Madame Long said, smiling at Ye Futian.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. Then, three beams of holy light shot out from his body. Immediately, the sky changed color. The sun and moon shone and stars appeared.
Madame Long stood up and stared at the three illusory figures. She was shocked.
But in an instant, Ye Futian retracted them and stood there calmly.
Since Madame Long already knew that he went in, if she wanted to harm him, it didn't matter if he hid or not.
From his observation of Madame Long, this mistress of the Long Clan was wise and gentle. He had a good impression of her. She wasn't a cruel person.
"This is?" Madame Long asked.
"In the Celestial Palace in the Martial Arts Battlefield, there are three beams of holy light. Their owners are the founders of the Top Three Schools," Ye Futian replied.
The Blazing Sun, the Bright Moon, and the Starry Sky.
The three schools were originally of the same origin. Madame Long obviously knew this.
Madame Long kept looking at Ye Futian. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be in deep thought.
The courtyard was very quiet. Ye Futian also waited patiently.
After a long while, Madame Long came back to her senses and looked at Ye Futian. "Why don't you want to enter the Top Three Schools?"
"Madame, you know where I come from. In the Cottage, my teacher and senior brothers and sisters are very good to me. Thus, I don't want to go back to the school and become someone else's disciple," Ye Futian said. "Moreover, if I enter the Top Three Schools, I will naturally be restricted by their rules. I won't be as free. I might not stay in the Divine Sky City for long."
Madame Long nodded slightly. Then, she said, "You received the Saint's inheritance, so you have an unbreakable relationship with the Top Three Schools. Now, someone is investigating you. If they find out your identity, you will be in a very passive position. Now, you have two paths in front of you. The first is to run far away. If people find out the truth about this path, the Top Three Schools will capture you at all costs."
Ye Futian was depressed. He had been extremely secretive about this matter. For safety reasons, he had even given up many treasures. However, there was nothing in the world that could not leave a trace behind. Once his true identity was known, many things could be deduced logically. They would also be able to find some clues. For example, the Sky Mountain of the Eastern Barren Territory had the legend of the Demon Bird.
"What's the second option?" Ye Futian asked.
"Enter the Starry School," Madame Long said.
"As a disciple of the Starry School?" Ye Futian had a strange expression on his face. "Can we not pursue what happened before?"
"What happened before?" Madame Long asked. "Although the Dragon Grass is important, it is only tempting to those below the Sage Plane. As for the small disturbance on the day of the examination, it is nothing in the context of the entire Starry School. You have to know that even the Sage Plane did not show up. These are all small matters.
"As for being a disciple, since you received the Saint's inheritance, it is of great significance. If you enter the Starry School, you will definitely not be an ordinary disciple."
Ye Futian had a strange expression on his face. People looked at things from different perspectives. As an Arcana Plane cultivator, he naturally saw things differently from Madame Long.
The Dragon Grass and the disturbance on the day of the examination were big matters to him, but to Madame Long, they were all small matters.
In the context of the entire school, to the Sage Plane cultivators, they were also small matters and not worth mentioning.
The Sage Plane cultivators could not be bothered with these things.
However, he had received the Saint's inheritance, which was indeed a big matter.
Therefore, after Madame Long finished speaking, he immediately understood what she meant. Comparing the two, the things that he was worried about did not exist at all.
Madame Long meant that the second option was to push him into the Starry School.
"Although it is a small matter, the Starry School has more than one choice," Ye Futian said. Since he had received the Saint's inheritance, the Starry School still had another choice, which was to take away everything that he had. This was a very dangerous thing to do.
"Therefore, among the Top Three Schools, we can only push you into the Starry School. After all, the West Mountain Dragon Clan can only influence the Starry School." Madame Long continued, "Perhaps you do not know, but there are four factions in the Starry School now. They are the College Faction, the West Mountain Dragon Clan, the Gu Clan, and the Jin Clan."
"You have offended many people in the Jin Clan. Moreover, with the relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Jin Clan, if I want to push you into the Starry School, they will definitely want to eliminate the threat and take away everything that you have. Therefore, the two factions are equal. The real deciding factor is the attitude of the College Faction and the Gu Clan. When Ling 'er's uncle was alive, the relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Gu Clan was very good. Long Mu and Yunxi even had the chance to be together. Later on, the relationship faded a little, but Yunxi admires you. From the looks of it, as long as the Gu Clan supports you, the Dragon Clan and the Gu Clan will naturally be able to influence the College Faction," Madame Long analyzed.
"Therefore, the possibility of this succeeding is quite high. Now, we need to see your attitude and whether you choose the first or second option."
Madame Long explained everything very clearly. After listening, Ye Futian was silent for a while, after which he asked, "What identity should I use to enter the Starry School?"
"Rumor has it that before the Top Three Schools, there was only one Divine School. The disciples with the highest status were the Divine Disciple and were given the title of Son. Later on, the Saint disappeared and the Top Three Schools evolved into the current Top Three Schools. Since then, there has been no more Divine Disciple. You have inherited the Saint's heritage, so your status naturally cannot be low. Entering the Starry School as the Son is the most suitable," Madame Long replied.
"Moreover, if you enter the Starry School, the Blazing Sun School and the Bright Moon School will definitely be very unhappy after knowing everything. If this succeeds, it means that you and the Starry School are one. You don't have to think about your status anymore."
"What if I fail?" Ye Futian asked.
"If you fail, then hand over everything you have and I will protect your life," Madame Long said.
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded and bowed slightly. "Everything is up to you, madame."
Clearly, he chose the second option.
The first option was too dangerous. Even if he chose it, he would face the risk of being hunted down in the future.
In comparison, although the second option was also risky, if he succeeded, many things could be easily solved. Even though he had offended many forces in the Eastern Barren Territory, they were all juniors. If he became the Son of the Starry School, those things would not be a threat to him.
He would not be someone that he could not afford to offend.
As for those conflicts, just like what Madame Long said, they were all small things. If the Starry School could put down their prejudice, how could he not?
"Alright." Madame Long nodded. "Go back and wait for my news. Before this matter is settled, I will send some people to guard the Celestial Pavilion."
"Thank you, madame." Ye Futian nodded and left. Long Ling 'er pestered him for a while and Ye Futian returned to the Celestial Pavilion to cultivate quietly.
With his strength, he could not participate in this matter. He could only leave the planning to Madame Long. Becoming the Son of the Starry School already involved the game of the top forces.
Now, he could only wait for the right time.
However, this did not cause any commotion in the Divine Sky City. Clearly, it was done in secret. Madame Long naturally could not let too many people know. An undercurrent was surging.
After a few days, the Dragon Clan brought Ye Futian to the West Court. Then, they actually went with Madame Long's dragon carriage to another place.
It was an extremely grand residence. After arriving, Ye Futian found out that it was the top clan of the Divine Sky City, the Gu Clan, which was also Gu Yunxi's family.
When Madame Long arrived, the leader and madame of the Gu Clan received her personally. Ye Futian also met the young master of the Gu Clan, Gu Ming, and Gu Yunxi.
"Mr. Ye, why are you here?" At the banquet, Gu Yunxi saw that Ye Futian had come with Madame Long. Her eyes lit up. Her father had said that Madame Long would come today and asked her to accompany her. However, she did not expect Ye Futian to come.
"Am I not welcome?" Ye Futian shrugged and smiled.
"What's wrong? I'm just surprised." Gu Yunxi smiled faintly. "Mr. Ye, since you're in the Gu Clan, don't be shy. Treat it like your own home."
"Treat it like my own home?" Someone said. Gu Yunxi looked over. The person who spoke was a valiant and handsome middle-aged man. He had a dignified appearance. It was Gu Yunxi's father.
"Yunxi, does this mean something?" the leader of the Gu Clan asked, smiling.
Gu Yunxi blinked and blushed. She glared at her father coquettishly. "Father, what are you talking about?"
"Mr. Ye, my father likes to talk nonsense. Please don't mind him," Gu Yunxi explained to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian smiled and nodded. Then, he bowed to the leader of the Gu Clan. "Junior Ye Futian greets senior."
"Since you know Yunxi, you can call me uncle," the leader of the Gu Clan said, smiling.
Ye Futian glanced at Clan Leader Gu and bowed again. "Uncle."
"Yes." Gu Hanshan kept looking at Ye Futian. His eyes seemed to be able to see through him. It was not easy to be so calm and confident in front of him. Furthermore, he was extraordinarily handsome and talented. He was indeed perfect. No wonder Madame Long was willing to run errands for him.
He'd asked Ye Futian to come to see him. He wanted to see if Ye Futian was worthy of his support.
"Sit." Gu Hanshan looked over at Madame Long. "Madame, let's eat."
With that, everyone began to eat. Gu Hanshan chatted with Ye Futian for a while. Then, Madame Long left with Ye Futian. No one knew the purpose of this meeting.
"Father, why is Mr. Ye here?" Gu Yunxi asked curiously. Ye Futian and Long Ling 'er were close, but Madame Long shouldn't have brought Ye Futian with her when she went out. Moreover, her father seemed to be observing Ye Futian today.
"Yunxi, what do you think of him?" Gu Hanshan asked.
"Mr. Ye's music is extraordinary. He can create his own songs. He's straightforward and humble. He doesn't care about his status. He's excellent in all aspects," Gu Yunxi said. "Father, why do you ask?"
Gu Hanshan looked at his daughter. She didn't know that Ye Futian was much more outstanding than she thought. He was a young man with even more talent than Long Yitian.
"Since my daughter praises him so much, why don't you ask him to be your son-in-law?" Gu Hanshan said jokingly.
Gu Yunxi blushed. Then, she looked away. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going back to the Academy."
