The environment of the Mingyue Pavilion was very beautiful. Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu waited there, with maids serving them.
However, at this moment, Ye Futian's state of mind was somewhat agitated. He had not even been this agitated when it came to Fourth Brother and You Xi. Perhaps in his mind, Second Sister and Third Brother were more important.
Moreover, when he first stepped into the Cottage, Fourth Brother had told him that Second Sister belonged to Third Brother. This had been imprinted in Ye Futian's heart.
"Second Sister is back." At that moment, a voice came from outside Mingyue Pavilion. Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu looked outside and saw two beautiful figures walking in with smiles on their faces. Zhuge Mingyue was still the same as usual. Her smile was bright and sunny, and it made people feel very comfortable. There was nothing wrong with her at all. However, Beitang Xing 'er, who was behind her, had a bitter expression on her face.
"You're here," Zhuge Mingyue said with a smile. She didn't seem surprised by Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu's arrival.
"Second Sister." Ye Futian, Hua Jieyu, and Yi Xiaoshi all walked up.
"What?" Seeing their reactions, Zhuge Mingyue stopped and glanced at the three. "It's only been a few months and you all miss me so much?"
"Sister, you know why we're here." Ye Futian was speechless seeing that Second Sister wasn't anxious at all.
Zhuge Mingyue walked up and Ye Futian and the others moved away. Zhuge Mingyue sat down on a chair and smiled. "You all know?"
"Yes." Ye Futian and the others nodded. "What do you think, Second Sister?"
Zhuge Mingyue looked at Ye Futian and smiled. "I agree."
Her voice was light and calm, but Ye Futian and the others shouted at the same time. Their expressions all changed. Beitang Xing 'er lowered her head slightly. She had just come from the clan leader's place with Second Sister, so she naturally knew the result.
"Second Sister, although the Holy Zhi Palace is planning this, with its status in the Barren State and its relationship with the Zhuge family, as long as the Zhuge family doesn't agree, the Holy Zhi Palace can't do anything. Is it pressure from the family?" Ye Futian said. "But if you insist, what can the Zhuge family do?"
Back then, Second Sister had left home at a young age because of this. Now, Ye Futian knew very well what kind of person she was.
"Why should I insist?" Zhuge Mingyue continued to smile and said, "Bai Luli is ranked tenth on the Barren Sky Ranking. Everyone in the Barren State calls him the most outstanding figure of his generation. He has the potential to become a saint. Why would I reject him?"
"But Third Brother …" Ye Futian did not understand.
"If he's not anxious, why are you?" Zhuge Mingyue said with a smile.
"How could Third Senior Brother not be anxious?"
"If he was in a hurry, why didn't he appear for five or six years? Where is he now? "Zhuge Mingyue continued. Ye Futian was stunned.
Second Senior Sister …
"Senior Sister, Senior Brother must have been held up by something." Hua Jieyu walked to Zhuge Mingyue's side and sat down. She held Zhuge Mingyue's arm.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. "Back then, Senior Brother fought with Bai Luli for the sake of Senior Sister, but he lost. Senior Brother must have gone to the Four Seas. He understood that it was not easy to defeat Bai Luli. Perhaps he encountered many things, or perhaps he went to a faraway place."
"Did I say I wanted him to defeat Bai Luli?" Zhuge Mingyue smiled at Ye Futian.
"…"
Ye Futian did not know what to say at that moment. Looking at Zhuge Mingyue's bright eyes, he suddenly realized that Third Senior Brother might have been wrong.
"He hasn't appeared for five or six years. He only left for one battle before disappearing completely. He doesn't know anything at all." Zhuge Mingyue continued, "I've already promised Father. Soon, the Zhuge Family will announce to the world that I'm engaged. I'd like to see if he will actually appear."
Ye Futian looked at Second Senior Sister, then at Hua Jieyu. His heart trembled, and he suddenly understood something.
Ye Futian, in particular, suddenly felt that he had been wrong all along. He knew Second Senior Sister's personality better than anyone else. She had her own unique personality, and she had a clear distinction between love and hate. She was able to escape back then, and naturally, she had a stubborn side. Since she liked Third Senior Brother, what she cared about was that Third Senior Brother had to defeat Bai Luli.
She did not care at all, as long as Third Senior Brother came to the Zhuge Family.
However, Third Senior Brother was a proud and stubborn person. He was a stubborn person who only recognized reason. Since he wanted to protect Second Senior Sister, he naturally would not allow her to suffer any grievances. That was why he challenged Bai Luli. He wanted to defeat Bai Luli, not to prove his strength, but to tell the Zhuge Family and the world that he could protect Second Senior Sister. He did not want to see Second Senior Sister bear the pressure of the family because of this.
That was why Third Senior Brother left for many years. He never came back, and he did not see Second Senior Sister for many years.
Two people with strong personalities fell in love with each other.
"But …" Ye Futian wanted to say more, but he did not know where to start.
"But what?" Zhuge Mingyue smiled and said, "That idiot doesn't know anything at all. Since he doesn't know, I'll teach him. I promised the family that I will be engaged to Bai Luli in a month, and we'll have guests from the Barren State at the banquet."
"Senior Sister, what if Third Senior Brother is really delayed by something?" Ye Futian asked anxiously.
"What would take five or six years? Would he never come if he can't defeat Bai Luli? " Zhuge Mingyue asked again. She had waited for five or six years, and she did not need much. It was enough as long as he came.
But that idiot did not even know how to do such a simple thing.
Ye Futian was speechless. Five or six years was indeed too long. Where did Third Senior Brother go?
"Senior Sister, if, and I'm just saying if, Third Senior Brother really doesn't come." Ye Futian's voice was a little nervous. If Third Senior Brother did not appear, would Second Senior Sister really be engaged to Bai Luli?
Zhuge Mingyue smiled and said, "If that's the case, your Second Senior Sister might have to be great for once and make some sacrifices for the Barren State to have a Saint."
Ye Futian frowned when he heard Zhuge Mingyue's words. He was a little angry, but it was not because of Second Senior Sister, but because of what Second Senior Sister had said. Sacrificing herself for the Barren State to have a Saint.
The Holy Zhi Palace, the Zhuge family, White Cloud City, and even many people in the Barren State had the same expectations. While Second Senior Sister seemed to be calm, the Holy Zhi Palace and White Cloud City came to propose at the same time. Coupled with her family, it was obvious that Second Senior Sister was under a lot of pressure.
What did the Barren State having a Saint have to do with a woman like Second Senior Sister?
"I still don't agree," Ye Futian looked at Second Senior Sister and said.
Zhuge Mingyue smiled at him. He had indeed grown up.
Standing up, Zhuge Mingyue looked at Ye Futian and reached out to rub his head. Smiling, she said, "Little Brother, you're getting more and more assertive. It's just that we'll deal with Senior Sister and that idiot ourselves."
"But Second Senior Sister …" Hua Jieyu also walked up, but Zhuge Mingyue took her hand and placed it in Ye Futian's palm. She said softly, "Sometimes, I envy you two. At least Little Junior isn't as insensitive as that idiot. While he's a little thick-skinned, he's still very interesting."
"…"
Holding Hua Jieyu's hand, Ye Futian looked at Second Senior Sister and said, "Then I'll stay here."
"Alright, you can stay as long as you want. It's been a long time since you guys have chatted with me. I'm getting nostalgic when I'm old. I kind of miss the Cottage," Zhuge Mingyue said with a smile.
"Second Senior Sister is still like a fairy. How can you be old?" Ye Futian looked at Zhuge Mingyue and said. It was not an exaggeration. Zhuge Mingyue's appearance and temperament were already very outstanding. Cultivators had very long lives, especially at the Sage Plane. As such, Zhuge Mingyue did not show any signs of aging. She was even more outstanding than when she was at the Cottage.
"If only that idiot could speak as nicely as Little Junior," Zhuge Mingyue said with a smile. She then turned around and said, "Xing 'er, have the servants prepare some food and wine. We haven't had a good meal together in a long time."
"Okay." Beitang Xing 'er nodded lightly.
"It's a pity that Old Five isn't here." Zhuge Mingyue thought of Luo Fan. She still missed Old Five's cooking, even though that guy really deserved a beating.
Under the night sky, the Mingyue Residence was quiet and beautiful. A group of people sat together to eat, but they all seemed to have something on their minds. Although they were chatting, they were not paying attention.
"Senior Sister, you should eat more." Ye Futian put food in Zhuge Mingyue's bowl.
Zhuge Mingyue said, "You should take care of Jieyu."
"I'm fine. I heard Futian talking about the interesting things in the Cottage. It was always Third Senior Brother quietly putting food in Senior Sister's bowl. At that time, Senior Sister ignored him. It's quite interesting to think about it now," Hua Jieyu said with a smile.
Zhuge Mingyue smiled and looked up. The two of them were echoing each other. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said softly, "I'm full and will walk around. You guys continue eating."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked away.
Seeing Zhuge Mingyue leave, Hua Jieyu's clear eyes flashed with sadness. She looked at Ye Futian and said, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Not yet." Ye Futian smiled gently and said, "It's just that Senior Sister probably misses Third Senior Brother too. Let's give her some time to calm down."
"Yeah." Hua Jieyu nodded.
"Senior Sister Xing 'er, what is going on?" Ye Futian looked at Beitang Xing' er and asked.
"Although Senior Sister doesn't say it, she actually misses Third Senior Brother very much. But it's not like you don't know Third Senior Brother's personality. How long will it take for him to defeat Bai Luli?" Beitang Xing 'er said, "Bai Luli is someone chosen by the Holy Zhi Palace. I don't need to say anything about his talent. Just like what Senior Sister said, will Third Senior Brother really not come if he doesn't defeat Bai Luli?"
"Senior Sister is under a lot of pressure because of this. The Holy Zhi Palace and the White Cloud City have come, and everyone is looking forward to Bai Luli and Senior Sister being together. Even the major forces in Xuanwu City are like this. It's as if to the world, this is the most perfect marriage. The marriage between the White Cloud City and the Zhuge Family, and the Holy Zhi Palace's shadow, working together to create the birth of a Saint."
