Tomorrow was the day of Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue's engagement. Strong cultivators from all over the Barren State had already arrived at Xuanwu City. This city to the north of Zhongzhou City had not seen such a grand occasion for many years. It was comparable to when Zhuge Qingfeng had taken over the Zhuge Family.
Crouching Dragon Mountain, Moon House, in the bamboo forest. Ye Futian was still playing the Ukiyo song.
At that moment, Ye Futian's eyes were tightly shut. It was as if he had entered a mystical state where he forgot himself. The Spiritual Qi around him seemed to have stopped flowing, and everything became extremely clear. Not far behind Ye Futian, Zhuge Mingyue walked over and raised her head to look around. She could naturally feel the changes in the Spiritual Qi around them.
Then, she sat quietly on a bamboo chair in the bamboo forest. She loved listening to her little brother play the guqin, especially the Ukiyo song. The artistic conception of the song was too deep. The surging aura of someone standing at the peak looking down on the world seemed to be describing a painting of mountains and rivers, full of heroic heroism.
Although she was a woman and did not have such ambitions, hearing her little brother play still made her feel very comfortable. This was what her little brother should be doing, just like in the painting.
At that moment, in Ye Futian's mind, everything around him seemed to have become clearer. The various elements of Spiritual Qi no longer seemed to be Spiritual Qi, but more like real wind, fire, thunder, and so on. They all had their own rules and became a part of the world.
He seemed to see the shape of the wind. It cut through irregular curves and flowed freely in this world. He seemed to see the color of thunder and lightning. This was like another world.
At that moment, Ye Futian had a feeling that he only needed to move his mind to change the trajectory of the wind and the strength of the thunder and lightning. The world he sensed seemed to be clearer than before.
The music continued, and the Spiritual Qi around him surged wildly. His Spiritual Energy extended even further, and the music seemed to reach even further.
Beside him, Zhuge Mingyue looked up at Ye Futian. Her beautiful eyes flashed, and then she smiled brightly. More than half a year ago, Ye Futian had broken through to the upper level of the Noble Plane in Alchemy City. Now, this was a sign that his Spiritual Energy had broken through again. He would officially enter the Grade Two Noble Plane.
Over the past month, he had been playing the zither every day, which actually made his mental strength improve a little faster.
Finally, the music stopped. The Spiritual Qi in the surroundings also stopped flowing. Ye Futian opened his eyes. There was no joy from breaking through to the next plane. Instead, he seemed very calm.
Tomorrow was the engagement day of his Senior Sister and Bai Luli. Until now, he still had no good idea.
There was still no news from Third Senior Brother.
"What, you're not happy about breaking through?" Zhuge Mingyue asked with a smile.
"My Spiritual Energy has broken through to the Grade Two Noble Plane. But what's the use of that?" Ye Futian smiled bitterly at Zhuge Mingyue. He would have been overjoyed if he had broken through to the next plane in the past. This time, not only was his Spiritual Energy stronger than before, but he had also gained a sliver of understanding of the rules of heaven and earth. He seemed to be touching the threshold, and his powers must have become much stronger.
However, it was still not enough. In the end, this storm came too quickly, and they were caught off guard.
"Second senior sister."
At that moment, Beitang Xing 'er came over. Zhuge Mingyue and Ye Futian turned to look at her.
"Xing 'er, what's wrong?" Zhuge Mingyue asked.
"Someone sent a letter, saying it's for little brother," Beitang Xing 'er said.
To send a letter to Crouching Dragon Mountain at such a time, to the Zhuge Family to deliver a letter to Ye Futian, was indeed a little thought-provoking.
"Let me see." A sharp look flashed in Ye Futian's eyes. He got up and walked to Beitang Xing 'er's side, taking the letter.
The letter was sealed, and the person had asked the guards to deliver it to Ye Futian at the foot of the mountain. The guards of the Zhuge Family naturally did not dare to touch it. After all, Ye Futian was now a well-known figure in the Barren State, and everyone knew that he was the Second Young Mistress' Junior Brother. As such, the letter was easily delivered to Ye Futian without any trouble.
Ye Futian opened the letter and saw a line of elegant handwriting on it. However, when he saw the handwriting clearly, his heart trembled violently and he felt a strong sense of unease.
The content of the letter was very simple. It said: I'm sorry, I can't fulfill the promise I made in the past. You have to live well in the future.
At the end of the next line, there was one word: Gu.
Of course, Ye Futian knew that this was not a letter for him, but for his Second Senior Sister.
The person who wrote this letter must be Third Senior Brother.
He was already here, but he was not going to Crouching Dragon Mountain.
Why is this happening? A thought appeared in Ye Futian's mind. What exactly happened?
Third Senior Brother was obviously not someone who was afraid of death. Everyone in the Cottage, and even the Eastern Barren Territory, knew what kind of person the Cottage's third disciple, Gu Dongliu, was. No matter how difficult the situation was, he would not retreat.
Now, the day of Bai Luli and Second Senior Sister's engagement was approaching, but Third Senior Brother left such a letter.
As if noticing the change in Ye Futian's expression, Zhuge Mingyue said, "Little Junior Brother, who wrote this letter?"
As she spoke, she walked towards him.
Ye Futian's hand trembled slightly. He really did not want Second Senior Sister to see this letter, but he had to let her see it.
Finally, Zhuge Mingyue also saw the contents of the letter. At that moment, Ye Futian could clearly feel the coldness emanating from her body.
Then, she suddenly smiled. Ye Futian did not know why she smiled, but it was not a normal smile.
"Is the messenger still around?" Zhuge Mingyue asked Beitang Xing 'er.
"He said he's still here," Beitang Xing 'er said.
Zhuge Mingyue did not say anything. She stretched out her finger and bit the tip. Then, she placed it on the letter and wrote a word.
"Alright."
"Senior Sister." Ye Futian looked at the bloody words and his heart trembled. He did not know what Second Senior Sister was thinking, nor could he know. However, he could feel that Third Senior Brother's letter was too cruel.
No matter what happened, no matter what happened, he should not have written such a letter.
Second Senior Sister was right. Maybe Third Senior Brother was really a fool.
"Send it back to him." Zhuge Mingyue said plainly before walking away. She did not say another word, nor did she show any hint of sadness. She was so calm that it was frightening.
Beitang Xing 'er was stunned. She looked at Zhuge Mingyue, then at Ye Futian.
"I'll send it back," Ye Futian said. Then, he left with Beitang Xing 'er. They went all the way to the foot of Crouching Dragon Mountain. The messenger was very ordinary, and his cultivation was also very low.
"I am Ye Futian. Take me to the person who wrote the letter," Ye Futian said.
"Mr. Ye, he said that if anyone comes with me, he will not appear," the person said.
Why won't he see me? Ye Futian's heart trembled. What happened?
Third Senior Brother deliberately avoided them like this. There was only one letter, and it was such a heartless letter.
The messenger clearly did not know anything. He did not even know who the messenger was. Moreover, he was sure that if he followed, Third Senior Brother had the ability to make him not see the person at all.
After a moment of silence, he returned the letter and said, "Tell the person who wrote the letter. She has been waiting for you for almost six years. She has no other requests. She just wants you to come."
"Yes, Young Master." The man took the letter and left. Ye Futian looked at the disappearing silhouette and took a deep breath. He could only leave everything to Third Senior Brother to decide for himself.
When he returned to Mingyue Pavilion, Xue Ye, Luo Fan, and the others were alarmed. They appeared in front of Ye Futian.
"Third Senior Brother, he might be in trouble," Ye Futian said to them. He refused to go to the Zhuge Family and refused to see them not because he was afraid that something would happen to him. There was only one possibility. He was thinking for Second Senior Sister.
The trouble that Third Senior Brother was in might be very big. It was so big that he was afraid of dragging Second Young Lady into it.
Xue Ye, Luo Fan, and the others were speechless. They did not know what to say at the moment. This matter was enough of a headache. Third Senior Brother finally appeared, but all he got was a heartless letter.
"I'll go find Second Senior Sister," Ye Futian said. Then, he went to where Zhuge Mingyue lived. He called from outside, "Second Senior Sister."
"Little Junior Brother, I'm going to rest," Zhuge Mingyue said.
"Second Senior Sister, I have something very important to tell you," Ye Futian said. There was a moment of silence. After a while, Zhuge Mingyue walked out wearing a simple white robe. She still did not look sad at all.
"Second Senior Sister, you know that I have some secrets. These secrets may be related to my birth, but I can't tell anyone because my birth may be very important," Ye Futian said. Very few people knew his secret. The disciples of the Cottage knew a little, but not all of them.
"I know." Zhuge Mingyue nodded lightly. Master said that he had met the person he was waiting for, and that was Ye Futian's appearance.
"Uncle, can you trust him?" Ye Futian asked. Although he did not completely agree with their conversation last time, he still had a good impression of Zhuge Qingfeng.
However, he did not really know what kind of person Zhuge Qingfeng was. As his daughter, Zhuge Mingyue naturally knew.
"What do you want to do?" Zhuge Mingyue looked at him and said, "If this will put you in danger, then don't bring this up again."
"But in a situation like this, if I really go against the will of those people, won't I be in danger?" Ye Futian said. Zhuge Mingyue stared at Ye Futian, then smiled. "I think, although he has many flaws, at least his character is not bad, and he still cares about his daughter's life."
Ye Futian heard Zhuge Mingyue's words and understood what she meant. He said, "Thank you, Senior Sister. Let's go."
"Alright." Zhuge Mingyue walked up and reached out to rub Ye Futian's head. Ye Futian was speechless, and the two of them left together!
