News of Zhou Mu defeating Ye Futian spread throughout Donghai Academy. Many students of the Finance Star School were unhappy. Now, Ye Futian and Yu Sheng were cultivating with the headmaster while Zhou Mu was in the School of the Emperor Star. Comparing the two, the Finance Star School seemed to be inferior.
However, Ye Futian and Yu Sheng did not know this. They had been cultivating in the courtyard for the past few days.
Suddenly, there was another loud noise. Ye Futian flew out of the cultivation room. The wings on his back shook and he flew in the air. Although he looked a little embarrassed, he still managed to stabilize himself and land on the ground.
"You can last longer now," a voice said. Ye Futian turned around and saw Yu Sheng and Yi Qingxuan sitting under an old tree, chatting about something.
"Have you ever thought about my feelings when you're doing this?" Ye Futian asked the two of them.
Yu Sheng looked at Ye Futian and shook his head seriously. "No."
"Revenge." Ye Futian glared at Yu Sheng. Then he walked to the tree and asked Yi Qingxuan, "Qingxuan, who carved the matrix in there? I've improved a lot these past few days but the attack of the matrix is also faster and stronger."
"I don't know either." Yi Qingxuan shook her head. "This matrix is used to refine your martial arts. The stronger you are, the more Spirit Qi you can draw, and the more powerful the matrix will be. As long as you can hold on longer, you will be improving." Yi Qingxuan shook her head.
"I'm faster than Yu Sheng. How can he last longer than me?" Ye Futian asked, depressed.
"Yu Sheng is strong. You rely on your movement techniques more, so the gravity of the matrix will affect you more," Yi Qingxuan explained. Ye Futian nodded. "When Yu Sheng cultivates in this matrix for a while longer, he will be able to overcome the gravity and dodge the attacks. Then he will be even more terrifying."
He had been cultivating his movement techniques for the past few days. In reality, his strength was not weak at all. Emperor Ye Qing had taught him body enhancement techniques and could train his body to the level of a monster. This place was very suitable for him to train his body.
Furthermore, there was also a library in the courtyard. There were many battle techniques that one could cultivate in.
Emperor Ye Qing's body-refining method, the Divine Dragon refined the body, the Divine Ape refined the strength, and the Divine Roc refined the bones and speed. These were all self-created by Emperor Ye Qing when he was taming beasts. His attack moves were also comprehended from the beasts. With Emperor Ye Qing's strength, he would definitely be able to unleash earth-shattering combat power like a real golden-winged roc. However, his current cultivation level was still low, so his comprehension was limited. At this time, he could cultivate some powerful martial arts combat skills to assist him.
"By the way, there are some bad rumors about you out there," Yi Qingxuan said, looking at Ye Futian.
"What rumors?" Ye Futian asked.
"Now that Zhou Mu has entered the School of the Emperor Star to cultivate, there are rumors in Donghai Academy that you were very arrogant in the Luo Palace, but you lost to Zhou Mu." Yi Qingxuan said carefully. She looked at Ye Futian worriedly. If it was true, would it hurt his pride?
Ye Futian was shocked and felt that something was off. "Zhou Mu said it himself?"
"I think it was spread by a few students of Donghai Academy," Yi Qingxuan said softly.
Ye Futian shrugged and smiled. "It seems that someone is very unhappy with me."
"So it's not true?" Yi Qingxuan's eyes brightened. Zhou Mu was in the Five-starred Glory Plane. Although Ye Futian was very strong, his level was still low. Therefore, when she heard the rumors, she did not dare to say that it was definitely false.
"Zhou Mu can't." Ye Futian looked at Yi Qingxuan. "Is there someone else who is using the Art Saint's victory over my master to spread rumors?"
Yi Qingxuan smiled at Ye Futian's confident words. "Yes, there are some people like that. Most of them are probably from the School of the Flirting Star. They are purposely trying to belittle you. There are also people who are questioning my father's decision to accept a disciple. Should we clarify it? Let the people of Donghai Academy know that this is just a rumor. Otherwise, they will continue to misunderstand you. "
"If there are people who are willing to believe it, do you think they will believe you just because you clarify it?" Ye Futian smiled. "You can never shut people's mouths. Let them be. One day, they will naturally shut up."
"You sure are carefree. But since you are so confident, when you defeat Zhou Mu in the future, those who are slandering you will naturally be embarrassed." Yi Qingxuan smiled.
"Compared to that, I am more concerned about how your relationship has progressed." Ye Futian looked at Yi Qingxuan with a half-smile. Yi Qingxuan blushed and glared at Ye Futian. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm leaving."
With that, Yi Qingxuan glanced at Yu Sheng and jogged away.
"Yu Sheng, you have to take the initiative," Ye Futian smiled.
"I'm going to cultivate." Yu Sheng walked towards the training room.
Ye Futian and Yu Sheng immersed themselves in cultivation. Yi Qingxuan often came to visit them. Occasionally, Yi Xiang would also come to teach Yu Sheng. As for Ye Futian, he was ignored. The difference in treatment was very obvious. It was just like how Hua Fengliu treated him and Yu Sheng. Ye Futian was very hurt.
One day, Yi Qingxuan came to find them again.
"Futian, Yu Sheng, my father wants you to come with me to his place," Yi Qingxuan said.
"Okay. What is it?" Ye Futian asked.
"The School of the Emperor Star and the School of the Treasury Star have come to visit. They say they are congratulating my father for accepting a disciple," Yi Qingxuan said. "According to etiquette, you have to go and greet him."
"Okay." The two nodded and left with Yi Qingxuan.
The three of them came to the guest area of the School of the Finance Star. They saw two figures sitting opposite Yi Xiang. They both had extraordinary auras. They were from the School of the Emperor Star and the School of the Treasury Star. Behind each of them stood two figures. Perhaps they were their disciples.
Ye Futian had seen the person from the School of the Emperor Star before. It was the elder from the Luo Palace.
"Greetings to the two seniors." Ye Futian stepped forward and bowed.
"Yes, we meet again." The elder smiled at Ye Futian. "I didn't think that after the Luo Palace, you would cultivate under Headmaster Yi. You are indeed a promising young man."
"Thank you, senior," Ye Futian said.
"Back then, your master cultivated at the School of the Emperor Star. Why did you come to the Finance Star school? Do you want me to ask Headmaster Yi to teach you?" the elder asked.
"Senior, you must be joking." Ye Futian smiled bitterly.
"Haha." The elder laughed and said, "Jieyu is cultivating at the School of the Emperor Star now. Since you two know each other, you can come to the School of the Emperor Star if you have the chance and see her."
Ye Futian was stunned. Since the elder knew he was the Guqin Devil's disciple, he couldn't hide their relationship anymore. He admitted, "I wanted to go see her before, but she was cultivating at the top of the School of the Emperor Star and I didn't dare to disturb her. Now that you have asked, I will go see her if I have the chance. I hope you won't blame me."
"Okay." The elder looked at Ye Futian meaningfully.
"Okay, you juniors go talk. We have something to discuss with Headmaster Yi," the elder said with a smile. The people behind him and Ye Futian's group all left.
Shu Yuyan kept looking at Ye Futian. When the elder told them to leave, she caught up with Ye Futian and shouted, "Wait."
"What's up?" Ye Futian smiled at Shu Yuyan.
"I'm Shu Yuyan, a good friend of Jieyu," Shu Yuyan said. She felt like she knew a secret.
In the past, Hua Jieyu had told her that she had someone she liked. But at that time, Ye Futian hadn't come to Donghai Academy yet. Hua Jieyu probably didn't expect Ye Futian to appear a few days later.
After that, Hua Jieyu seemed to be very interested in Ye Futian. She didn't pay much attention before, but after Zhou Mu entered the School of the Emperor Star, she found out that Hua Jieyu was the daughter of the Guqin Devil, Hua Fengliu. Now, it was rumored that Ye Futian was the Guqin Devil's disciple. The two obviously knew each other. Putting all this together, Shu Yuyan easily guessed something.
The handsome young man in front of her, the one who caused a stir not long after entering the academy, was probably the person Hua Jieyu had been thinking about.
"I'm Ye Futian." Ye Futian smiled. "How is Jieyu?"
"Yes." Shu Yuyan nodded. She was very curious about Ye Futian. What kind of person was the guy that Hua Jieyu liked?
Right now, she had a lot to say, but there were other people around. It wasn't convenient. She could tell that Hua Jieyu and Ye Futian didn't want to expose their relationship.
"Junior Ye, are you close with Jieyu?" the young man beside Shu Yuyan asked with a smile.
"Jieyu is my master's beloved daughter. Of course we're close." Ye Futian glanced at the young man. He was about 18 years old. His straight eyebrows made him look very handsome.
"Is that so?" The young man smiled. "I cultivate with Jieyu at the School of the Emperor Star and often chat with her. I've never heard her mention you. If you have the chance to come to the School of the Emperor Star in the future, you can find me."
"Judging from your tone, you're about to get a beauty?" a young man from the School of the Treasury Star asked, smiling.
"It's not that easy to get a girl like Jieyu. I need time, but …" Mu Yunxuan smiled. "Let's not talk about it."
Ye Futian frowned slightly while Yu Sheng glanced at Mu Yunxuan.
"By the way, Junior Ye, I heard that you had some conflict with Junior Zhou Mu at the Luo Palace. Now, the entire Donghai Academy knows about it. Junior Ye, don't mind it too much. It's just a loss. It's not a big deal. If there's a chance in the future, we'll talk and it'll be fine," Mu Yunxuan continued.
"Sure, if there's a chance, I'll definitely 'talk' with Zhou Mu," Ye Futian said, smiling.
"If that's the case, we won't disturb you anymore. Junior Ye, you go ahead. We'll wait here," Mu Yunxuan said.
"Okay." Ye Futian didn't bother with pleasantries. He left with Yu Sheng and the others. Mu Yunxuan watched Ye Futian's back. The smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Senior Mu, what's the meaning of this?" Shu Yuyan asked Mu Yunxuan. She knew that he was lying.
If Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu didn't have that relationship, it would be fine. But if they did, Mu Yunxuan's words were undoubtedly a provocation.
"Yu Yan, why did you chase after Ye Futian just now? Did Jieyu mention him to you?" Mu Yunxuan asked her.
"Since he and Jieyu know each other, I just wanted to say hello. There's no other meaning," Shu Yuyan said.
