Ye Futian was speechless at Beitang Xing 'er's words. Second Senior Sister was indeed betting on her own fate.
"Senior Sister Xing 'er, if Third Senior Brother didn't come, would you really be engaged to Bai Luli?" Ye Futian asked.
"If Third Senior Brother didn't come, what reason would I have to refuse?" Beitang Xing 'er sighed.
At this time, in the forest of the Moon House, Zhuge Mingyue stood quietly on a thousand-year-old tree. She raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky.
Back in the Cottage, he stood on the tree and told her that he would come to the Zhuge Family. But where was he?
The moon hung high in the sky and the night grew darker. There was no joy of reunion in the Moon House. Instead, there was a faint sadness.
After dinner, a maid arranged a place for Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu to rest. But in the night, Hua Jieyu came to Ye Futian's room.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the sadness in Hua Jieyu's bright eyes, Ye Futian stroked the hair on her forehead and said gently, "It'll be fine."
"I want to rest here," Hua Jieyu said softly.
"Ah …" Ye Futian was stunned and blinked.
"If you don't welcome me, then I'll leave," Hua Jieyu said, looking up at him.
"Of course not," Ye Futian said, quickly holding her hand.
"Don't be naughty," Hua Jieyu said.
"I'm such an honest person," Ye Futian said. What was naughty?
Hua Jieyu smiled at Ye Futian, then walked around him to the edge of the bed. She took off her coat and shoes and crawled under the blanket.
Ye Futian's eyes moved. Happiness came too suddenly. It seemed that Hua Jieyu knew he was in a bad mood and deliberately came to comfort him. What a good wife.
Ye Futian quickly burrowed under the covers. Seeing that Hua Jieyu's back was facing him, he walked up to her and hugged her gently. Feeling her soft body in his arms, Ye Futian's heart warmed.
Hua Jieyu's soft body turned and crawled into Ye Futian's arms.
As if feeling Hua Jieyu's emotions, Ye Futian put one hand under her neck and the other around her body, hugging her tightly.
"Jieyu, what's wrong?" Ye Futian asked softly.
"I'm a little sad." Hua Jieyu's voice sounded a little gloomy. After what had happened to the Fourth Brother and Second Sister, she did not know why she was feeling particularly down today.
Second Senior Sister was like her biological sister. She could understand Second Senior Sister's feelings, but she always felt suffocated.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Ye Futian didn't have any evil thoughts. He just hugged the beauty in his arms.
"Will we be separated again because of something?" Hua Jieyu asked softly.
"I won't. Do you still want to escape from me?" Ye Futian comforted him.
"But why do I have a bad feeling?" Hua Jieyu asked.
"Don't think too much. I'm just in a bad mood. Don't forget the Left Minister's prophecy. You are my Empress." Ye Futian gently kissed Hua Jieyu's forehead. She looked at him with her dark eyes and said, "You can do anything you want."
With that, she blushed and buried her head in Ye Futian's chest. She felt her face burning.
"Silly girl." Ye Futian stroked Hua Jieyu's hair and said, "I don't want to do anything. I just want to hug my wife quietly and not let her think too much. Let's sleep."
"Okay." Hua Jieyu answered softly. In Ye Futian's arms, she quickly fell asleep, a peaceful and warm smile on her face.
This feeling was so good.
…
The next day, the news that Bai Luli of White Cloud City and Zhuge Mingyue of the Zhuge Family would be holding an engagement party in a month shook Xuanwu City and spread quickly throughout the Barren State.
Cultivators from the Holy Zhi Palace and White Cloud City had been in Xuanwu City for a long time. Both sides had expressed interest in the marriage, but there was some kind of resistance. As a result, there were only rumors and it had never happened. Everyone was looking forward to it. But now, this news meant that the two top forces in the Barren State would be connected by marriage.
The City Lord of White Cloud City was ranked fourth on the Barren Sky Ranking. The head of the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Qingfeng, was ranked sixth on the Barren Sky Ranking. Both of them had once cultivated under the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace and were the top figures of their generation. They had a good relationship and were now famous in the Barren State.
Now, their descendants would be together again. It was natural that the world would pay attention to them. Countless people looked forward to this marriage.
The Holy Zhi Palace, White Cloud City, and the Zhuge Family would all be participating. Perhaps this would be the grandest engagement party in the Barren State.
After the news spread, all the forces in Xuanwu City went to Crouching Dragon Mountain to congratulate in advance. As such, the Zhuge Family became lively in the early morning. It was foreseeable that the Zhuge Family would become the focus of the Barren State for a while.
Ye Futian had already woken up in the Moon House. After practicing a set of fist techniques, he felt refreshed and his body was filled with power.
Hua Jieyu had woken up as well. She stood behind Ye Futian and looked at him quietly. There was a peaceful smile on her face. Sometimes, she would think that if the two of them could live a peaceful life together, it would be very beautiful.
Ye Futian retracted his fist and turned around to see Hua Jieyu looking at him quietly. He smiled gently and said, "You're awake."
"Yeah." Hua Jieyu smiled and nodded.
"I still want to see you sleep soundly tomorrow morning," Ye Futian said.
Hua Jieyu blinked and glared at Ye Futian. "Don't think too much about it."
Ye Futian's face fell. Happiness was so short-lived.
"Sigh, I kind of regret yesterday," Ye Futian muttered to himself.
"There's no use regretting it now." Hua Jieyu chuckled. After a night, although the two of them were still thinking about Ye Futian, they were calmer now. There was no use in being anxious.
"What are you talking about?" Zhuge Mingyue smiled and walked over.
"Senior Sister." Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu greeted each other. Then, Ye Futian said, "We were talking about the Zhuge family. We haven't gone to visit Uncle Zhuge yet. When do you think we should go?"
His sister's pressure came from the Holy Zhi Palace, White Cloud City, and the Zhuge family. But in reality, other than his sister's own attitude, the Zhuge family's attitude was the most important. As such, Ye Futian had to pay a visit to Zhuge Qingfeng, a legendary figure on the Barren Sky Ranking. At the very least, he wanted to find out what he was thinking.
Of course, he hoped that Third Brother would come to the Zhuge family within a month, but if he didn't, he had to prepare for the worst.
"There will be many people coming to visit Xuanwu City today. The family will host a banquet and many people will go. You can join them then," Zhuge Mingyue said.
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded and did not say much. It seemed that Second Senior Sister bore some resentment towards her father. Otherwise, with his relationship with Second Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister would have arranged for him to meet Zhuge Qingfeng. After all, Zhuge Qingfeng was his senior in the Holy Zhi Palace, and introducing them to each other would not have done him any harm.
Of course, it was also possible that Second Sister really didn't want him to get involved in this. Second Sister knew him well and knew what kind of person he was. She wouldn't just let it go.
"Second Young Lady." At that moment, a servant came to report. Zhuge Mingyue looked at her and asked, "What is it?"
"The daughter of the Alchemy City Lord Office, You Xi, Xue Ye, and Luo Fan are here," the servant said. Xue Ye and Luo Fan had been to the Zhuge family before. Many people knew that they were Zhuge Mingyue's junior.
"Senior Brother is here." Ye Futian's eyes flashed. Zhuge Mingyue said, "Let them come."
"Okay." The servant left. Zhuge Mingyue smiled and said, "Why are they so enthusiastic this time?"
"Senior Sister, it's not like you didn't see it when we were in Alchemy City. Before Fourth Brother sacrificed his Life Spirit, he reminded me about Senior Sister and Third Brother and asked me to think about it. Do you still not understand Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother's intentions?" Ye Futian smiled bitterly. Zhuge Mingyue naturally knew what was going on.
Soon, a group of people walked over. Other than Xue Ye and Luo Fan, You Xi, who was now Xue Ye's wife, was also there. She was pregnant. The daughter of the City Lord Office was pregnant, so there were naturally strong cultivators from Alchemy City accompanying her. Therefore, many people came.
"Second Sister." Xue Ye, Luo Fan, and the others walked towards Zhuge Mingyue. After hearing the news in Alchemy City, they immediately rushed over.
Zhuge Mingyue ignored the two of them and looked at You Xi. She walked up and pulled her, saying, "You Xi, why are you messing around with them? Come and sit."
"Senior Sister, didn't you also go to Alchemy City for our matter? Xue Ye and I are worried now, so we rushed over after hearing about it," You Xi said softly.
Zhuge Mingyue glared at Xue Ye. "It's fine if you're messing around, but You Xi is pregnant now. Are you asking for a beating by bringing her around?"
"…" Xue Ye was speechless. He wanted to ask about Second Sister. Why was he being scolded as soon as he arrived?
"Senior Sister, we were worried about you. Sister-in-law was worried too. She insisted on coming with Senior Brother," Luo Fan explained.
"Who said you could speak?" Zhuge Mingyue looked at Luo Fan.
"…" Luo Fan immediately shut up.
Ye Futian looked at the scene beside him and smiled brightly. What a beautiful memory. It was as if he was back in the Cottage.
"Eldest Brother and Third Brother are all here. Eldest Brother is in the Eastern Barren Territory. If he knows about this, he will definitely rush over," Ye Futian said. These were the disciples of the Cottage. No matter what happened to their brothers, as long as the others knew about it, they would rush over immediately.
"I will take care of this myself. It's fine if you all came to join in the fun, but no one is allowed to inform Eldest Brother," Zhuge Mingyue said sternly.
