At that moment, it was not just Ye Futian, but countless gazes fell upon Liu Chan.
The Assistant Palace Lord of the Holy Sage Pavilion was now in charge of the Holy Zhi Palace. It could be said that his will could almost represent the will of the Holy Zhi Palace.
Moreover, everyone understood what Liu Chan's arrival meant. This marriage alliance would bring together the three strongest forces in the Barren State.
Even the White Cloud City Lord and Zhuge Qingfeng stood up to welcome Liu Chan. Although Liu Chan was only Bai Luli's teacher, he was also Bai Gu and Zhuge Qingfeng's Uncle-Master.
It could even be said that most of the people present were Liu Chan's juniors.
Liu Chan walked to a place and stopped. Everyone's eyes flashed, and they saw Liu Chan slowly turn around, his gaze falling upon Ye Futian.
Ye Futian was also very surprised. He did not expect Liu Chan to look at him.
Sage Zhu Song must have told Liu Chan about what had happened a month ago.
"You have been allowed to enter the Sage Hall. Now, you should focus on breaking through to the next level. Don't let miscellaneous matters affect your cultivation. After today, return to the Holy Zhi Palace to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the Sage Plane as soon as possible." Liu Chan said, "The same goes for Yu Sheng. After you return, I will summon the six palaces to discuss Yu Sheng's cultivation in the Sage Hall."
After saying that, Liu Chan did not wait for Ye Futian and Yu Sheng's response and continued walking forward. Zhuge Qingfeng and Bai Gu gave up the most distinguished seats in the middle. Be it in terms of Barren Sky Ranking or seniority, Liu Chan deserved to sit in the most distinguished seat.
Many people looked at Ye Futian. They naturally understood the meaning behind Liu Chan's words. Ye Futian was a little dishonest, but the Holy Zhi Palace did indeed value him and nurtured him with great care.
Ye Futian looked at Liu Chan's silhouette. If not for the incident between Bai Luli and Second Sister, Liu Chan would have been a respectable elder. Even though he came from the Holy Sage Pavilion, his bearing was not something others could compare to.
However, on the matter of Bai Luli, Liu Chan's position was completely different from his.
Moreover, both of them were extremely firm in their positions and would not change. He could not change Liu Chan, and Liu Chan could not change him. This was a dead end.
Liu Chan sat in the main seat and looked at the sky. He said, "Let the banquet begin."
"Yes." Zhuge Qingfeng nodded and waved his hand. Everyone took their seats in an instant. The servants and maids of the Zhuge family were all present and busy themselves. This banquet was probably one of the most luxurious banquets in the Barren State.
Not far away, a figure arrived quietly. It was Zhuge Mingyue.
Today, Zhuge Mingyue was dressed very beautifully. She was usually simple and elegant, but today, she was wearing a phoenix coronet and a red cape. The swallow-tailed coat accentuated her figure to its fullest. She had put on some light makeup, but her beauty was unparalleled, and she attracted the attention of countless people.
Zhuge Mingyue was an extremely beautiful woman to begin with, and at this moment, she was even more breathtakingly beautiful. Many people gasped in admiration and took another look at the handsome Bai Luli. They were indeed the best of the best.
Ye Futian looked at the stunning woman. For some reason, he felt a pang in his heart.
At this moment, Second Senior Sister was so beautiful. She had a faint smile on her face, but from her beautiful eyes, he seemed to sense a hint of sadness, as well as a hint of determination.
If things were really like what was written in the letter and Third Senior Brother did not come to let her be, Ye Futian did not know what Second Senior Sister would do, given her personality. Would she really end up with Bai Luli?
Today's engagement banquet was Third Senior Brother's last chance.
Zhuge Qingfeng looked around at everyone, then said, "Today, everyone has traveled thousands of miles to come here. Zhuge Qingfeng is here to thank all of you. I won't say too many words of courtesy. Enjoy to your heart's content, and don't hold back. Many of you are old friends, and we haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect to meet here today, so let's drink to our hearts' content."
As he said this, he raised his glass and said, "Please."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all in one go.
After the glasses were put down, the atmosphere immediately became lively. The leader of the Vermillion Bird Clan smiled and said, "Time and tide wait for no man. I didn't expect the younger generation to have already reached such heights. Looking at today's banquet, it's as if we can already see the end of our era, and the younger generation will replace us."
The Vermillion Bird Clan was a top force, a large clan in the Barren State's northeast region. Their leader was an expert ranked 37th on the Barren Sky Ranking, so he naturally had the right to represent his generation.
"Indeed. Seeing Bai Luli is like seeing the dawn of a new era. Today, the Barren State has gathered at the Crouching Dragon Banquet not only to show their support, but also to witness the beginning of a new era," another expert on the Barren Sky Ranking said, expressing his feelings.
"In reality, when Bai Luli was ranked tenth on the Barren Sky Ranking, I vaguely felt that our era was about to pass. Looking at the younger generation below, perhaps they are still unfamiliar with them now, but in the future, the top figures on the Barren Sky Ranking will probably all come from here," another person said with a smile.
Many people looked at the figures of the younger generation. There were too many descendants of the various experts on the Barren Sky Ranking. There were those who had already entered the Sage Plane, as well as those in the Noble Plane. They were all rising rapidly.
"Say, in the next generation, who do you think will be able to rule the Barren State?" someone asked with a smile.
"Bai Luli is said to have the potential to become a saint. If there is a day that he steps into the Saint Plane, then there is naturally no need to say anything more," someone said with a smile. Now that Bai Luli's potential to become a saint had been made public and spread throughout the Barren State, everyone knew and understood the purpose of this marriage.
"Although Bai Luli has the potential to become a saint, there are so many geniuses in the younger generation. The future is still far away, and it is still unknown who will rule the world in the future," Huang Xi of the Sovereign Family said plainly. He was ranked fifth on the Barren Sky Ranking and was old rivals with the White Cloud City Lord and Zhuge Qingfeng. He naturally would not think that the descendants of the Sovereign Family would be inferior. Huang Jiuge's potential was extraordinary, and his temperament was extraordinary.
"Time will tell." The White Cloud City Lord looked at Huang Xi and said. When the two top figures met, they were also at each other's throats, neither backing down.
"Huang Jiuge of the Sovereign Family can be considered a top figure of this generation. However, in the battle of the Holy Zhi Palace, he did not win first place in the Law Battle." The Yun Clan Leader of the White Cloud City was naturally here today. He said this plainly, deliberately targeting Huang Xi, implying that if he could not even win first place in the Law Battle, how could he even talk about ruling the Barren State?
"Before Bai Ze of the White Cloud City participated in the Law Battle, I also heard that he was once known as the second Bai Luli. Now, in the Holy Zhi Palace, he has faded into the crowd. Time will indeed be the best proof," Huang Xi said calmly. "Among the people of the same generation, there can also be several peerless figures."
"Some people are born to be demons, so there is no need to compare. Bai Luli crushed his generation back then, and Ye Futian also swept through his generation. However, as for who is more outstanding, perhaps it will take time to prove. If Ye Futian is more outstanding, then those who are suppressed by Ye Futian may be able to become influential figures in the future," Xu Shang said rather lazily.
Many people looked at Ye Futian. Some admired him, and some looked at him with hatred. Among the geniuses present today, there were too many who had lost to Ye Futian. The most famous were the younger generation of the Ximen Clan, Ximen Hanjiang, Di Kai of Alchemy City, and Di Gang of Alchemy City. As for Yan Jiu, Nan Hao, Bing Yi, and the others, Ye Futian had probably left them in the dust.
Xu Shang flattered Ye Futian so much. Was he trying to provoke a fight between the two geniuses?
Everyone knew that Ye Futian was originally extremely dissatisfied with the marriage, and had said arrogant words on the spot that Bai Luli was not worthy of his Second Sister.
"No matter who is more outstanding, they are all disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace, and the same goes for Xu Que. I have high hopes for their futures," Liu Chan said. Said Liu Chan. Xu Shang smiled and kept his mouth shut. Liu Chan's weight was still quite heavy.
"Time's up." Liu Chan looked at the sky. Zhuge Qingfeng's eyes flashed, and he looked at Ye Futian, then nodded and said, "We're here."
The White Cloud City Lord stood up and said, "Present the betrothal gifts."
His voice was not loud, but it seemed to have pierced through the air. Suddenly, many figures at the foot of Crouching Dragon Mountain went up at the same time. These figures walked all the way up until they arrived at the banquet, where they presented the betrothal gifts.
Rare treasures, top-notch sage ritual implements, precious elixirs, powerful techniques, and 99 betrothal gifts. All of them were top-notch treasures. The people of the Zhuge Clan saw the scene and nodded secretly, feeling rather satisfied. The White Cloud City was full of sincerity, and they felt much better taking away the treasure of the Zhuge Clan.
Countless people congratulated and discussed, and it was a grand scene. However, Ye Futian's expression was exceptionally ugly. Zhuge Mingyue looked at him plainly, and there was not much change in her expression. Occasionally, she would look into the distance.
"Brother Zhuge, I am here to formally propose marriage to the Zhuge Clan on behalf of my son, Lu Li," the White Cloud City Lord said. Although both parties had reached an agreement, they still had to show the sincerity of the White Cloud City. Firstly, it was to show the generosity of the White Cloud City, and secondly, it was to show enough respect to the Zhuge Clan.
At the banquet, countless people's eyes fell on Zhuge Qingfeng. As long as he accepted the betrothal gifts, the marriage between the White Cloud City and the Zhuge Clan would be considered official.
Zhuge Qingfeng looked at the betrothal gifts and fell silent for a moment.
"Wait." At that moment, a sudden voice was heard. A figure in the banquet stood up, and in an instant, everyone's eyes fell on him.
Ye Futian clenched his fists tightly, and they were actually trembling slightly.
"Sit down," Liu Chan glanced at Ye Futian plainly, and a stern voice was uttered from his mouth.
Liu Chan's voice made Ye Futian tremble, but he still stood there steadily. He raised his head and stared at Liu Chan. His eyes were extremely determined, and he said, "I don't agree."
"How dare you!" Many people from the Zhuge Clan shouted angrily.
The White Cloud City Lord glanced at Ye Futian coldly. His eyes were cold, and in an instant, an extremely frightening pressure fell on Ye Futian.
"I don't agree either." Xue Ye and Luo Fan stood up, trying their best to resist.
"Both of you, sit down," You Chi chided them plainly.
Under such circumstances, how many of the younger generation would have the right to disagree?
There was a faint, oppressive atmosphere in the grand banquet.
At that moment, there was an aura coming from the foot of the mountain. It seemed that a battle had broken out.
Zhuge Qingfeng looked down the mountain, and his eyes seemed to pierce through the void. There, he saw a figure dressed in white walking up step by step, and his footsteps were extremely determined.
In the end, he still came.
"Gu Dongliu has come to the Zhuge Clan to propose marriage." A voice pierced through the void, from the foot of the mountain to the top, and spread throughout Crouching Dragon Mountain!
