Ye Futian was silent. He finally understood why Sage Jingang and his teacher had told him not to interfere when he had asked to see his teacher in the Holy Zhi Palace.
Obviously, both of them knew that this was the will of the entire Holy Zhi Palace and would not change because of one person.
Ye Futian smiled self-deprecatingly and asked, "What do you think, Uncle?"
"This is the first time my teacher has asked me for anything in the form of a letter. It might even be a final letter. This marriage represents the will of the Holy Zhi Palace, the White Cloud City, and the Zhuge Family. My peers and even my elders are very optimistic about this marriage. Not only that, but Xuanwu City and many other forces in the Barren State are also looking forward to it." Zhuge Qingfeng said, "Just as they said at the banquet, there has never been a marriage that has caused such a commotion and attracted so many attention."
"What do you think I should think?" Zhuge Qingfeng looked at Ye Futian and said. Even though he was sixth on the Barren Sky Ranking, he still had many restraints and could not do whatever he wanted.
In fact, other than his daughter Zhuge Mingyue not liking this marriage, everything else was perfect. If Zhuge Mingyue did not already have someone she liked, Bai Luli would have been the best Path Companion. There was no one else as suitable as him in the entire Barren State.
"Then why do you want to talk to me about this, Uncle?" Ye Futian asked.
"It wasn't easy for Bai Luli to appear in the Barren State, and now there's you and Yu Sheng. While you two are young and your planes are still low, your futures are promising. Furthermore, you're from the Holy Zhi Palace, Mingyue's junior brother, and Jieyu's lover. As such, I don't wish for you to be involved in this matter. I can guess what Mingyue is thinking. If he really comes, I'm afraid that Mingyue will do whatever it takes.
But under such circumstances, can she really change anything? "Zhuge Qingfeng continued.
"So, you are going to sacrifice your sister for the greater good?" Ye Futian smiled and said, "My master tried to talk me out of it, but he still made me come. Furthermore, I'm just a selfish person after all. I don't know what's good for me. I still think that you're all wrong. Even if this is the will of the entire Barren State, it's still wrong."
Even if the Holy Zhi Palace did it for the sake of the Saint and had no selfish motives, what about White Cloud City?
Bai Luli was the son of the White Cloud City Lord. They were naturally happy to see such a good thing.
Where are the people from the Zhuge Family?
At the moment, there were no saints in the Barren State, and Bai Luli was the most promising candidate. With the potential to become a saint, the Zhuge Family naturally looked forward to having a son-in-law of a saint appear in their family. For the Zhuge Family, this was something worth looking forward to.
Therefore, behind the righteousness, there was still selfishness.
As for Second Senior Sister's feelings, who cared?
Since no one cared about Second Senior Sister's feelings, why should Second Senior Sister sacrifice herself?
Zhuge Qingfeng looked at Ye Futian and smiled. He was not angry. Instead, he said, "I'm glad that Mingyue has a junior like you. However, the matters of the world are not something that can be explained with just a single word of right or wrong."
"Go back." Zhuge Qingfeng did not say anything else.
Ye Futian bowed slightly and left the Wind Residence. Zhuge Mingyue did not leave. She looked at Ye Futian's back and smiled brightly.
"You've seen it. How do you feel?" Zhuge Mingyue asked.
Zhuge Qingfeng looked at his daughter and said, "I now understand why you're full of praise for him. He is indeed an excellent little fellow, not only in terms of talent, but also in terms of temperament. I like him a lot."
"Little Junior said it himself. He's a selfish person and doesn't know anything about righteousness. Why do you still like him?" Zhuge Mingyue asked.
"I'm also a selfish person. The people from the Zhuge Family, my senior in the White Cloud City, who isn't selfish?" Zhuge Qingfeng smiled and said, "There is no absolute saint in this world. Even sages have emotions. With their own feelings and preferences, there will definitely be a selfish side to them. He dared to go against the will of the Holy Zhi Palace for you and shouted out his selfishness. At the very least, he did it openly, unlike many people who use the name of righteousness, but in reality, it's all for their own selfish motives."
"It seems that father understands," Zhuge Mingyue said.
"So what if I understand? Sometimes, I can't even be bothered to think about these things." Zhuge Qingfeng looked at his daughter and said, "Bai Luli's character is not bad. If you really marry him, even if you're husband and wife in name, he won't force you to do anything. At the very least, don't do anything impulsive. The future is still long."
With that, Zhuge Qingfeng turned and left.
Zhuge Mingyue looked at her father. It turned out that he would still think for her.
But husband and wife in name only?
Zhuge Mingyue laughed at herself and then looked at the sky blankly. Life in the Cottage was much happier. There was no worry or worry.
After Ye Futian returned, his mood became even heavier. He seemed to feel a wave of pressure pressing down on him.
The implications of this marriage were too great, making him feel powerless. Just like Luo Fan said, the pressure he faced was even greater and more difficult than when he was in Alchemy City.
He didn't even know where to start.
From Zhuge Qingfeng's attitude, he could tell that the sixth on the Barren Sky Ranking was not an unreasonable person. It was just that there were many things that were far more responsible than expected. Under such circumstances, even as a member of the Zhuge family, he had to make some concessions and compromises.
Ye Futian took out his guqin, Soul, and sat quietly in the courtyard, playing. When others heard the music, they seemed to be able to feel Ye Futian's current state of mind. Hua Jieyu sat not far from him and did not disturb him. Yu Sheng, on the other hand, went to cultivate alone. When one could not do anything, it seemed that one could only cultivate to increase one's strength.
Days passed, and the news had spread throughout the Barren State. Xuanwu City gradually became lively, and people from the top forces of the Barren State came one after another.
The marriage between White Cloud City and the Zhuge family, the engagement banquet between Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue, this marriage was too extraordinary, far more than Xue Ye and You Xi's wedding. The people from the top forces of the Barren State, of course, had to come. Even if some of the top forces were not happy, they still had to come. This marriage would directly change the structure of the Barren State.
This was the first time the Holy Zhi Palace had participated in something like this, breaking the usual rules. Many people knew why.
All of this was because of the peerless figure of the Barren State, Bai Luli.
Crouching Dragon Mountain was also very lively. Many people came to visit in advance, waiting for the engagement banquet to start.
At this moment, somewhere in Crouching Dragon Mountain, an important figure who had come to pay a visit was walking among the aristocratic families. His footsteps paused slightly, and his eyes flashed as he listened attentively. A guqin tune entered his ears, and its artistic conception was extraordinary, instantly attracting his attention.
The strong cultivator's Spiritual Energy spread out towards the direction of the song. Suddenly, the sound of the guqin became clearer and clearer. As the music continued to enter his ears, his expression became solemn, as if he was in awe. The people beside him did not disturb him, and they just waited quietly.
In reality, the members of the Zhuge family were well aware of the fact that Ming Yue Pavilion often played guqin music recently, and the artistic conception was extraordinary. Every time the guqin music was played, even the big shots would listen attentively and feel the extraordinary artistic conception in the music.
After a long time, the big figure asked, "Who is playing this?"
"Ye Futian," the Zhuge family's host replied.
"Ye Futian, the first on the Law Rank of the Holy Zhi Palace?" The person asked. The outside world rarely knew what happened between the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace, but they would still pay attention to who was first on the Law Rank. Moreover, Ye Futian had caused quite a stir in Alchemy City, and many big figures had been there. Therefore, most people in the Barren State had heard of Ye Futian's name.
"Yes." The person beside him nodded.
"The younger generation will surpass the older." The person nodded and said, "What song is this?"
"Ukiyo."
"No wonder, no wonder …" the person murmured, and then walked away with a big laugh. It was one of the top ten songs written by Donghuang the Great. It was indeed the ambition of an emperor.
Moreover, it was said that this Ukiyo was written when the two emperors were young. At that time, they already had the ambition to conquer the world.
Now, Ye Futian was playing this song in the Zhuge family. What was his intention?
At that moment, Ye Futian was playing the guqin quietly in Mingyue Pavilion. In reality, he did not play the true artistic conception of the Ukiyo. To play the complete Ukiyo, with his current plane, he needed to use the will of the emperor to fully release the artistic conception. However, even playing casually was still extraordinary.
As the music spread, Ye Futian's Spiritual Energy filled the air, and another image seemed to enter his mind. It was the ambition of an emperor, and it was a picture of the world being written. At the same time, he felt the natural way of the world in this artistic conception, and he was also cultivating.
Now, he was already an upper-level Noble, and he could faintly grasp the will of a Sage. If he wanted to become a Sage, he needed to understand the power of the rules of heaven and earth more clearly in order to reach the Great Path. As he understood, his Spiritual Energy was also increasing bit by bit.
He felt that his Spiritual Energy was getting closer and closer to becoming a Grade Two Noble.
…
At the foot of Crouching Dragon Mountain, Xuanwu City was bustling with activity. Strong cultivators were everywhere, and all the inns and restaurants were full. The closer one was to Crouching Dragon Mountain, the more so it was.
At this moment, in a restaurant not far from Crouching Dragon Mountain, a white-robed figure sat quietly on a seat on the third floor of the restaurant. He ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine. He wore a bamboo hat on his head, concealing his face.
In the restaurant, most people were discussing the same thing. The engagement between Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue was very lively, and many people were very excited.
However, the white-robed man with the bamboo hat did not seem to hear anything. He sat there quietly for a long time, and then put the spiritual stones on the table. He looked up in the direction of Crouching Dragon Mountain, and then left the restaurant alone!
