Zhuge Qingfeng, Zhu Song, and the other elders all looked at Ye Futian, but this was to be expected. They all knew that Ye Futian had a problem with Bai Luli.
"Ye Futian, did you say that?" Zhu Song asked Ye Futian.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded.
"You are first on the Law Rank this time, and the Holy Zhi Palace has high hopes for you. You are still of a low plane and do not know the outside world. Bai Luli, Hua Fan, and you, the three first places on the Law Rank, will all enter the Sage Hall to cultivate. In the future, you will be able to create a new era that belongs to you. Luli is slightly older and can be considered your senior brother. While there were some grudges in the past, he will not hold it against you. You should focus your energy on cultivation and abandon your selfish thoughts," Zhu Song said to Ye Futian.
"Sage Zhu Song is right. Bai Luli is already tenth on the Barren Sky Ranking at such a young age. How is he not worthy? They are all geniuses, and there is no need to fight over it," someone else said with a smile.
"Forgive me, Uncle-Master." Ye Futian stood up and bowed to Sage Zhu Song. "My cultivation is still lacking, and there are some things I do not understand. Please enlighten me, Uncle-Master and Uncle Zhuge."
"Sit down and talk." Zhuge Qingfeng nodded. He knew that Ye Futian would not be satisfied with this, but there was nothing that could not be said here. While Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue's marriage had some flaws, it was indeed the most suitable in many ways.
"Thank you, Uncle." Ye Futian sat down and said, "I do not know Bai Luli very well, so I do not have much of an impression of him. After all, he is not as useless as his younger brother. The reason why I am unhappy is actually because of what happened between my senior sister and Third Brother."
Bai Ze's eyes froze and he stared at Ye Futian coldly. This b * stard does not forget to mock me even when he is speaking normally?
Ye Futian looked at Bai Luli and asked, "What do you think of my senior sister?"
Bai Luli's expression was calm. His eyes fell on Ye Futian, then looked at Zhuge Mingyue and said softly, "Mingyue's looks are outstanding, and her talent is extraordinary. Her personality is also more carefree than mine. she is naturally very good. I quite like her."
"You have good taste, but my senior sister does not like you," Ye Futian said directly.
Everyone looked at him speechlessly. Zhuge Mingyue also glared at Ye Futian. This guy was indeed dishonest, but she did not stop Ye Futian.
Ye Futian looked at Bai Ze, Zhuge Xing, and the others and asked, "Why do you think that Bai Luli is a good match for my sister?"
"My brother hails from the White Cloud City and is cultivating in the Holy Zhi Palace. Second Young Mistress hails from the Zhuge Family and has outstanding looks and talents. Why wouldn't she be worthy?" Bai Ze asked.
"Bai Luli is ranked tenth on the Barren Sky Ranking, and his father and the Clan Leader are old friends. He also has the expectations of countless people in the Barren State. If he is not worthy, how can he be?" Zhuge Xing asked.
"You're too reserved." The White Cloud City and the Zhuge Family are well-matched in terms of social status and are strong allies. Secondly, Bai Luli has something he wants, and he was able to get what he wanted as well as a beauty. Similarly, the Zhuge Family thinks that Second Sister marrying someone ranked tenth on the Barren Sky Ranking is a sacrifice, but to have such an outstanding son-in-law, they are naturally satisfied. Therefore, this is what you call a match made in heaven. "
Everyone stared at Ye Futian. His words were a little too direct, but they were indeed logical. What Ye Futian said was indeed the core of the matter.
"Everyone thinks that this marriage is a match made in heaven because everyone's eyes are on benefits. They are only weighing the pros and cons of both sides. What the White Cloud City gains, what the Zhuge Family gains. Then, who has considered my sister's feelings?" Ye Futian continued, looking around at the crowd. "My sister and Third Brother had already developed feelings for each other back in the Eastern Barren Territory. My Third Brother had also challenged Bai Luli before. Although he was defeated, his feelings for her were clear. Why do you all have to pretend that you don't know?"
"Since you all know, but you all deliberately ignore it, then what is the purpose of this marriage?" Ye Futian looked sarcastic. It was naturally for the sake of benefits, but it was said to be a match made in heaven.
"I don't know why such a marriage sounds so wonderful to you all. Please enlighten me, elders," Ye Futian said, bowing. Beside him, Xue Ye and Luo Fan also looked at the people around them. What Ye Futian said was what they wanted to say, but they were also ashamed of their little brother's eloquence.
"I did not force it. If Mingyue is unwilling, then so be it," Bai Luli said to Ye Futian.
"Is that so?" Ye Futian smiled and said, "If that is the case, if my sister says she is unwilling, then this matter will end here, and everyone will leave in peace."
The Holy Zhi Palace and the White Cloud City were very influential. Coming to the Zhuge Family together to propose marriage, one could imagine what kind of impact it would have on the Zhuge Family. In the end, all the pressure would fall on the second sister.
"You are a little too presumptuous." An elder from the Zhuge Family looked at Ye Futian and said plainly, "While you are Mingyue's Junior Brother and a student of the Holy Zhi Palace, your words are too narrow-minded and biased. Mingyue is the apple of the Zhuge Family's eye, and there is no way we wouldn't like her. But to Mingyue, isn't Bai Luli the best choice? What you have said is merely from the perspective of your Third Brother."
The one who spoke was Zhuge Xing's father and Zhuge Mingyue's uncle.
"Father, you're right. Ye Futian's words seem reasonable, but they're actually shallow. He wants to take the Second Lady away just for his and his Third Brother's selfish desires. What a joke," Zhuge Xing said.
"Bai Luli is ranked tenth on the Barren Sky Ranking and has the potential to become a saint. Is there anyone more suitable than him? Is your Third Brother worthy?" The youths of the Zhuge Family started to make things difficult. Ye Futian's previous words were mocking the Zhuge Family for marrying Zhuge Mingyue to a man of lower status for the sake of profit.
In an instant, more and more people at the banquet began to criticize him. Ye Futian seemed to be the center of attention.
"What a joke." Bai Ze laughed sarcastically in his heart. He liked to see such a situation. Ye Futian would offend the Zhuge Family and the Holy Zhi Palace because of this. He was, of course, happy.
Zhuge Qingfeng watched all of this quietly and did not say anything.
Ye Futian saw so many people criticizing him, but he seemed indifferent. He lowered his head slightly and drank a cup of wine.
When he raised his head, a sharp glint flashed through his eyes. Then, he said in a cold voice, "Forgive me for being blunt, but are all the aristocratic disciples here a bunch of trash?"
As soon as Ye Futian's voice landed, the banquet quieted down in an instant. The youths of the Zhuge Family all looked at Ye Futian coldly. What an insolent fellow.
"While you are a student of the Holy Zhi Palace, you should take back what you just said," a disciple of the Zhuge Family said coldly.
"As a disciple of the Zhuge Family, you don't think about cultivating yourself, but instead fantasize about using marriage to increase the family's influence. Don't you feel ashamed?" Ye Futian said sarcastically. "And you're still talking as if marrying my Senior Sister down is an advantage because the Zhuge Family might have a son-in-law of a saint? That's why you're kneeling and sucking up to him? Where is the bearing and pride of a genius of a family? Don't you know how to cultivate and strengthen the Zhuge Family? Instead, you need to rely on marriage. If you're not trash, then what are you? "
"Ye Futian, are you humiliating the entire Zhuge Family?" Bai Ze's voice was cold, as if he was trying to provoke a dispute.
"Bai Ze, you still have the face to speak in front of me?" Ye Futian glanced at Bai Ze and said coldly.
"You …" Bai Ze's face was dark.
"Back in the Law Battles, you were so arrogant and full of yourself. In the end, you couldn't even withstand a single blow. I was able to crush you without using my full strength. Later, in the sparring session, Yu Sheng made you lie down with one blow. Isn't that humiliating enough?" Ye Futian said coldly. Since Bai Ze was asking for a slap in the face, he would naturally fulfill it.
"Today, I was drinking quietly, but you provoked and caused conflict. Do you think no one knows why? Now, you know that your cultivation is too weak and you have no right to fight me head-on, so you want to use these despicable methods?" Ye Futian stared at Bai Ze aggressively and said, "An ant like you, if not for the fact that you came from White Cloud City, would have long been a cripple. How dare you use your brother's name to speak so confidently, thinking that you're impressive. You don't know that in the eyes of others, you're just a clown."
"Shut up," Bai Ze said coldly.
"You're angry because of this? If that's the case, why do you still want to humiliate yourself? " Ye Futian continued, "Speaking of this marriage, you're so proud of yourself. That arrogant attitude of yours makes it seem as if marrying your brother, Bai Luli, is out of my league. Don't tell me that you don't have such thoughts. But think about it carefully, who is the one who proposed this marriage? Since your brother is so outstanding, why do you need to borrow the Zhuge Family's power? "
"Ye Futian, that's enough," Sage Zhu Song of the Holy Sage Pavilion said.
Ye Futian stood up and bowed to Sage Zhu Song again, saying, "Uncle-Master, I've talked to my teacher before I came. I know that the Holy Zhi Palace's participation in this matter is not out of selfishness, but for the Barren State to produce a Saint. But I still think that this is wrong."
"Since Bai Luli has the potential to become a Saint, why does he need to borrow external power? Since he is the hope of the Holy Zhi Palace and is looked forward to by everyone, he should have enough confidence and pride to use his own abilities to create a Saint. Since he is the focus of the world, he should have the confidence and boldness to do so. Why is there a need to be so obsessed with small things?" Ye Futian looked at Sage Zhu Song and said.
"How many years has it been since a Saint has appeared in the Barren State? Do you think it's as simple as you think it is?" Sage Zhu Song looked at Ye Futian and said. His voice was harsher and he was obviously displeased.
"How many years has it been since a Saint has appeared in the Barren State? The Holy Zhi Palace will naturally produce one in this generation. If Bai Luli can't do it, I can do it. There's no need to rely on such methods." Ye Futian looked straight at Sage Zhu Song, and he exuded an extraordinary aura. It was absolute confidence and pride in himself.
It was precisely because of this confidence and pride that he had mocked the disciples of the Zhuge Family for being trash who did not want to improve.
Sage Zhu Song stared at Ye Futian and said, "Since you have such confidence, I am willing to believe you. But now, you should focus on your cultivation and enter the Sage Hall after becoming a Grade One Noble, breaking through to the Sage Plane. Since you also know that the marriage between Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue is not for personal gain, but for the Barren State, then you should be even more open-minded. Don't ruin this matter because of your relationship with your Third Brother."
It was obvious that Ye Futian's words were unable to convince Sage Zhu Song. The marriage was imperative. Now that everyone had agreed to it, there were no more obstacles and everything was ready. There was no way he would allow it to be ruined.
