Ye Futian's group chatted in the Moon House. Xue Ye and the others found out about Second Sister's attitude and were speechless.
Now, they could only hope that Third Brother was not too far away and could come to the Zhuge Family after hearing the news. They could still make it before the engagement day.
On Crouching Dragon Mountain, the experts and descendants of Xuanwu City's clans came to the Zhuge Family to pay their respects.
The Zhuge Family prepared a banquet to entertain the guests.
Someone came to inform Zhuge Mingyue and the others, and they got up to go.
The Zhuge Family's banquet was filled with guests. Many of the younger generations had arrived, but some of the seats in front were still empty. Zhuge Mingyue's group attracted everyone's attention when they arrived.
"Congratulations, Second Miss." Many people stood up and saluted Zhuge Mingyue. Zhuge Mingyue still had a faint smile on her face, but it was different from the smile she had in front of Ye Futian's group. Her smile now gave people a faint sense of distance, more like a polite smile.
"Are the clan leader and the others not here yet?" Zhuge Mingyue asked a servant beside her.
"The clan leader and some seniors are discussing matters in the Wind House. They'll be here soon."
"Okay." Zhuge Mingyue nodded. "Wait for me here. I'll go take a look."
"Okay." Ye Futian's group nodded and found a place to sit. Zhuge Mingyue left.
Many people's gazes fell on Ye Futian and the others. This group of people could be said to be very outstanding, and they were all very famous.
Ye Futian was first on the Law Rank of the Holy Zhi Palace. Yu Sheng was second.
Hua Jieyu was a Divine Spiritual Sorcerer. Many people in the Zhuge Family had once discussed who could win the heart of a beauty.
Even Xue Ye and the others were extraordinary. Many people had already guessed their identities. They were Zhuge Mingyue's junior, Xue Ye and Luo Fan, who had caused quite a stir in Alchemy City a few months ago, and You Xi, the daughter of Alchemy City Lord You Chi.
Moreover, the daughter of Alchemy City was pregnant so quickly.
You Chi's daughter and son-in-law were no less important than Zhuge Mingyue.
The second son of White Cloud City, Bai Ze, was also present.
Some of the nobles from Xuanwu City smiled and cupped their hands at Ye Futian and the others. The first and second on the Law Rank of the Holy Zhi Palace were definitely people of great renown. Furthermore, the weight of Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, who were in the top two of the Law Rank, was far from what Ximen Hanjiang could compare to. It was said that Ximen Hanjiang was only a Grade Three Noble. Furthermore, he was on good terms with Zhuge Mingyue. Such a person was naturally worth befriending.
However, none of them made it too obvious and went out of their way to get close to Bai Ze. That was because they knew that Ye Futian and the others did not get along with Bai Ze. In fact, the conflict between the two parties ran deep. Furthermore, it was the same for Zhuge Xing. The youths of the Zhuge family probably did not like Ye Futian and the others that much.
"Seeing the Second Young Lady today, she is indeed as outstanding as the rumors say. It is said that the Second Young Lady's cultivation talent is also extremely high. Now that the Second Young Lady and Bai Luli are a couple, I wonder how many people will be envious of them," a disciple of the Xuanwu City's aristocratic family said with a smile.
"Indeed. The engagement ceremony in a month's time will probably be the grandest event that the Barren State has seen in recent years. Even if you look at the past few years, it would be difficult to find two people who are so suitable for each other."
"I heard that Bai Luli has the potential to become a saint. With Bai Luli's talent and being able to rank tenth on the Barren Sky Ranking at such a young age, the rumors must be true. The hope of the Barren State's saints lies with him."
"If that is the case, wouldn't the White Cloud City have a saint in the future, and the Zhuge family would have a saint as a son-in-law?" Someone joked. Everyone's words revolved around Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue, and the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
"Be it in terms of background, looks, or talent, the Second Young Lady is the best of the best. In the vast Barren State, Bai Luli is indeed the most suitable." The youths of the Zhuge family were very satisfied with the marriage. Everyone in the Barren State knew about Bai Luli's talent, and he was about to become the son-in-law of the Zhuge family. The alliance between the White Cloud City and the Zhuge family, coupled with their relationship with the Holy Zhi Palace, would make them stand at the top of the Barren State.
There was no way they would not be satisfied with such a marriage, and everyone was looking forward to it.
"That's true." Many people agreed.
"Fit my ass." Luo Fan, who was drinking, cursed under his breath and put down his glass forcefully. He seemed to be in a very bad mood. He did not want to speak out of turn, but these people were talking one after another, and he could not hold back his temper.
The most suitable person for Second Sister was Third Brother, but who was Bai Luli?
Many people turned to look at Luo Fan. As expected, Zhuge Mingyue's Junior Brothers seemed to be rather displeased about the matter.
The people of the Zhuge Clan frowned. Although this group of people had powerful backgrounds, they were still in the Zhuge Clan. How dare they be so presumptuous?
This marriage alliance was inevitable, so why would he care about whether they were satisfied or not?
"Fifth Senior Brother, drink up." Ye Futian, who was beside Luo Fan, said. The two of them clinked their glasses, and Luo Fan drank it all in one gulp. He was in a terrible mood. His second sister had even told them not to interfere in this matter.
Bai Ze also quietly drank a cup of wine. He glanced at Ye Futian from the corner of his eyes. He wanted to see how long this guy could endure.
At that moment, a voice came from afar. Everyone turned to look and saw many figures walking in their direction. They were all important figures from various places.
There were several people in the middle, all of whom exuded the aura of a mighty lord. The middle-aged man standing in the middle of all of them wore a simple robe, but it could not conceal his extraordinary aura. He was the clan leader of the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Qingfeng.
On his left, there was a person that Ye Futian had seen before. He was an important figure from the Holy Sage Pavilion of the Holy Zhi Palace. Beside him was a step behind, and it was Bai Luli. Behind Zhuge Qingfeng were Zhuge Canyang and Zhuge Mingyue.
There was another important figure on the right. It was the brother of the White Cloud City Lord, Bai Luli's uncle, Bai Yan. He was also a very powerful figure.
The White Cloud City Lord had already returned to White Cloud City to prepare for the engagement in a month. Bai Luli would go to the Holy Zhi Palace after that, and things here would temporarily come to an end.
After this banquet, they would all leave first.
The others were the leaders of some of the clans in Xuanwu City.
They came to the front of the banquet and kept some distance from the younger generation. Everyone stood up and cupped their hands in greeting.
"Young people are full of vigor." Zhuge Qingfeng walked to the main seat and said with a smile, "Take a seat."
Only then did everyone sit down. Zhuge Qingfeng's eyes swept across everyone, then looked at Ye Futian, Xue Ye, and the others. He then said, "Jieyu is back. I didn't expect Xue Ye to have kidnapped You Chi's daughter. Impressive. Mingyue, that's Ye Futian beside Jieyu, right?"
Xue Ye and Luo Fan had both been to the Zhuge Clan before, so Zhuge Qingfeng naturally knew them.
"Yes." Zhuge Mingyue nodded.
Ye Futian and the others stood up and bowed. "Ye Futian greets uncle."
Zhuge Xing and the others looked at Ye Futian. This guy really knew how to build relationships. It was the first time they had met, and he had already called him uncle.
"You and Jieyu are lovers, and you are also Mingyue's junior. You are also from the Holy Zhi Palace, so it is appropriate for you to call me uncle." Zhuge Qingfeng smiled and nodded. No one was surprised. With Ye Futian's status and talent, calling him uncle was not considered too much.
"Thank you, uncle," Ye Futian said. Zhuge Qingfeng nodded and said to the mighty one from the Holy Sage Pavilion beside him, "I heard that this guy took first place on the Law Rank as a Grade Three Noble and has already earned the right to enter the Sage Hall?"
The mighty one from the Holy Sage Pavilion beside him was named Zhu Song. He was an archmage and held a very high position in the Holy Sage Pavilion. His face gave off a serious feeling, even when he was smiling. From his face, one could tell that he was a person who was very strict with himself and others.
"Yes, this guy entered the Battle Sage Palace to cultivate, and he was indeed like Sage Douzhan. His battle prowess was extraordinary. Senior summoned the six palaces for a meeting and allowed him to enter the Sage Hall. He has high hopes for him," Zhu Song nodded and said.
Ye Futian's eyes sparkled. He was allowed to enter the Sage Hall to cultivate. So it was because the Second Palace Lord of the Holy Sage Pavilion summoned the six palaces and approved it.
The elders of the Holy Sage Pavilion were different from Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing. They did not differentiate between the Holy Sage Pavilion and the Battle Sage Palace. Otherwise, Ximen Hanjiang would have been able to enter the Sage Hall.
Even so, he still felt that the Holy Sage Pavilion was in the wrong for what happened to Second Sister.
"I'm looking forward to the growth of this generation." Zhuge Qingfeng smiled and said, "Take a seat."
Ye Futian and the others sat down. Many great figures looked at Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue. An elder smiled and said, "The more I look at them, the more they look like a match made in heaven."
"Indeed, the Barren State has not had such an exciting couple in a long time," someone else agreed. Many people spoke up. The mighty ones from Xuanwu City had come to the banquet today to congratulate them. The topic of discussion naturally revolved around Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue.
"Now in the Barren State, countless people are looking forward to the marriage between my brother and the Second Lady. However, there are people in the Zhuge family who say that my brother is not worthy," Bai Ze said plainly. Many people frowned. An elder of the Zhuge family said, "The Zhuge family is satisfied with the marriage between the two. Who would be so presumptuous?"
Ye Futian's eyes sparkled, and then he saw Bai Ze's eyes fall on him.
Zhu Song looked at Bai Ze. Although Bai Luli's younger brother was talented, his temperament was too different from Bai Luli's. It would be difficult for him to achieve much.
Of course, if Ye Futian were to say such things, it would be a little too willful.
"The one who ranks first on the Law Rank is, of course, proud. However, the Zhuge family thinks highly of him. These words are harsh," Zhuge Xing added.
"Bai Luli and the Second Lady are a match made in heaven. I didn't expect someone to criticize them. The Holy Zhi Palace thinks highly of him, but he seems to be jealous of Bai Luli."
Bai Ze's words seemed to have ignited the resentment of many. Many youths of the Zhuge family began to criticize Ye Futian. The atmosphere became a little awkward, not as harmonious as before.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ze lowered his head and drank his wine with a cold smile on his face. Even though Ye Futian's status in the Holy Zhi Palace was extraordinary, he still dared to question his brother. As such, he would teach him a lesson.
Ye Futian glanced at Bai Ze plainly, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
