The moment the voice sounded, countless eyes on Crouching Dragon Mountain looked in the same direction.
Gu Dongliu had come to the Zhuge Family to propose marriage.
Today was the engagement day of Bai Luli, the young city lord of White Cloud City, and Zhuge Mingyue. The Zhuge Family had organized the Crouching Dragon Banquet, and the entire Barren State had come to congratulate them. The White Cloud City Lord had already given the betrothal gifts, and now, someone had come to propose marriage.
It was obvious who it was that had come to propose marriage at this time.
Many people in the Barren State had heard that there was once a legendary figure who had challenged Bai Luli and left after being defeated. That battle was rumored to be for Zhuge Mingyue.
Before this, Ye Futian, Xue Ye, and the others had stood up and publicly opposed the marriage. It must have been because of this person.
Pairs of eyes pierced through the air and saw a handsome scholar dressed in white walking up step by step. His pace did not seem to be fast, but every step seemed to have a strange rhythm and was extremely determined.
Soon, he appeared before the banquet. He raised his head and looked straight ahead.
Everyone looked at the figure who had appeared. His face was like jade, and his eyes were like stars. This temperament alone was enough to make him a legendary figure. Facing countless top cultivators in the Barren State, he had come to the Zhuge Family to propose marriage. His courage and boldness made many people secretly praise him.
"Third Brother." Ye Futian, Xue Ye, and the others called out softly with smiles on their faces, but they did not know whether to be happy or sad. Although their Third Brother had come, could he really change anything?
Zhuge Mingyue looked at the familiar face. Five or six years had passed, and he had not changed much. He was still as dumb as before, but he was rather cute.
He had finally come to the Zhuge Family and kept his promise. As long as he was here, it was enough.
At this moment, the smile in Zhuge Mingyue's eyes was exceptionally bright.
Zhuge Qingfeng looked at the figure. No wonder his daughter, Zhuge Mingyue, liked him. Such a legendary figure who had been with him for so many years would naturally have feelings for him.
The White Cloud City Lord's expression was slightly ugly. Coldness flashed in his deep, dark eyes.
"Courting death." Bai Ze's heart was cold. He had spread the news to lure Ye Futian to the Zhuge family. He wanted to see how Ye Futian would get involved in this mess and how he would escape unscathed.
He was jealous of Ye Futian and hated him. That was why he was excited to see Gu Dongliu. Only then would Ye Futian truly fall for him.
In today's situation, anyone who wanted to ruin this engagement would be courting death.
Even if Ye Futian was number one on the Law Rank, he would not be allowed to do so. Today's engagement represented the will of the Holy Zhi Palace. Anyone who interfered with it would have to pay the price.
"Step down, I won't argue with you." Liu Chan's gaze landed on Gu Dongliu as he spoke in a domineering voice.
Gu Dongliu lifted his head and looked at Liu Chan. He had heard about the Zhuge family while he was on the run after returning to the Barren State, so he naturally knew the purpose of the marriage.
The Holy Zhi Palace wanted to create a saint, and the person chosen was Bai Luli.
The entire Barren State was optimistic about this marriage. Only Ye Futian and the others did not agree. However, it was to no avail.
Zhuge Mingyue was naturally a sacrifice.
"My teacher once told me a story. He said that there was a great cultivator of Buddhism. He cultivated to a certain plane and needed to understand more about the feelings of the world. He thought that if he cultivated step by step, he would need to walk too many paths and experience too many things. If he had the time, he could have enlightened many people and done more beneficial things," Gu Dongliu said, looking at Liu Chan. Gu Dongliu looked at Liu Chan and said. Many people had strange looks on their faces. They did not know what Gu Dongliu meant by that.
"So, he took a shortcut and stole the thoughts of others, using this to understand the things that others had experienced. He successfully broke through to the next plane, but the other became a walking corpse."
Many people's eyes flashed, vaguely knowing what Gu Dongliu was going to say.
"After breaking through to the next plane, his state of mind was obstructed again. He needed to see more things in the world and walk more paths in order to strengthen his own understanding. He thought that it was still a waste of time. With his current plane, he could use these things to help more people. So, he stole the thoughts of a hundred people to practice his righteousness.
"His cultivation became higher and higher, and he gradually became obsessed with cultivation by taking others' bodies. He was respected by others and used the will of Buddhism to enlighten people. He thought that this was righteousness. Later on, those who followed him in cultivating Buddhism all had their thoughts stolen by him, and they all became puppets.
"Seniors, may I ask, is he a Buddha or a demon?"
Gu Dongliu looked at Liu Chan and the others. Even those great figures were slightly moved when they heard the story. They naturally understood the meaning of the story, which pointed to today's marriage.
"Of course he's a demon." Liu Chan stared at Gu Dongliu and said, "There is no saint in the Barren State. Bai Luli has the potential to inherit the Divine Path and protect the lineage of the Barren State. His talent is a match made in heaven with Zhuge Mingyue. The Barren State congratulates him. Who was stolen?"
"Cultivation is about cultivating the heart. If you even deceive your own heart, it's no wonder there is no saint in the Barren State." Gu Dongliu said plainly, "If Mingyue and I were to die here today, then are you Buddhas or demons?"
"How dare you." Some of the elders of the Zhuge Family scolded him coldly. Several stood up and a strong aura was released, shrouding Gu Dongliu.
"If it's for righteousness, you can sacrifice yourself and not others. If the Zhuge Family wants a saint in the Barren State, you can offer up your treasures. If the Holy Zhi Palace and White Cloud City want to create a saint, you can take it from them directly." Gu Dongliu continued, "Perhaps in your eyes, that is evil, but this is righteousness."
As he said, he laughed at himself. He was a reasonable person, but he also understood that these people would not reason with him today. After all, reason was not as powerful as a fist.
He turned his eyes and looked at Zhuge Mingyue. His starry eyes showed a smile and he said, "I'm sorry to have made you wait for six years."
"It's okay." Zhuge Mingyue smiled brightly.
"Then are you willing to come with me?" Gu Dongliu asked.
"You still owe me something," Zhuge Mingyue said.
Gu Dongliu looked at her, then smiled and said, "I like you."
Zhuge Mingyue's smile became even brighter. The phoenix crown and robe seemed to have been worn just for this moment.
"Me too, dummy." Zhuge Mingyue stood up. Sunlight seemed to shine on her face. At this moment, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
At the banquet, other than the conversation between the two, there was no sound.
Everyone stared blankly at this scene. Even those big shots weren't feeling calm in their hearts at this moment.
They seemed to have seen a very beautiful love story.
This time, the Holy Zhi Palace and White Cloud City seemed to have become the bad guys.
Watching all this, Ye Futian felt a little sore in his eyes. Beside him, Hua Jieyu had tears in her eyes, and Beitang Xing 'er had already started crying.
Second Sister had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Third Brother was finally willing to say it.
But what should they do in this situation today?
"Very good, very good."
On the main seat of the banquet, a monk put his palms together. He looked solemn, as if he was holy. He looked at Gu Dongliu and Zhuge Mingyue with admiration and praise.
Zhuge Mingyue's dress reached the ground as she walked elegantly towards Gu Dongliu. The White Cloud City Lord's expression was very ugly.
"Mingyue!" An elder from the Zhuge Family called. Zhuge Mingyue stopped and heard him say, "Do you know what you are doing?"
"Of course I do. I've never known what I want to do as clearly as I do now." Zhuge Mingyue smiled.
"You agreed to this marriage, and the entire Barren State came to congratulate you. Now that you're doing this, where do you think the Zhuge Family and White Cloud City are?" The elder's voice was cold, revealing a faint pressure.
"Did I object?" Zhuge Mingyue looked at him and said, "If I object, you guys won't agree to this marriage?"
The elder's expression froze. Zhuge Mingyue had indeed objected. In fact, she had objected many years ago and even left home.
"What do you think I am?" Zhuge Mingyue continued, "Since no one cares about what I think, then what do you guys have to do with me?"
The people from the Zhuge Family stared at Zhuge Mingyue, then looked at Gu Dongliu coldly and said, "Take him."
Several elders from the Zhuge Family released a terrifying aura and stepped forward. At that moment, Ye Futian's body flashed and he walked to Gu Dongliu's side. Yu Sheng, Hua Jieyu, Xue Ye, and the others all stood up and stood beside Gu Dongliu. Even You Xi walked out at that moment.
"Go back." You Chi's expression was a little ugly. What are these guys doing?
"Father-in-law, this is not negotiable," Xue Ye said, then looked at You Xi. "You go back."
You Xi was still pregnant.
"Isn't your Third Brother also my Third Brother?" You Xi looked at Xue Ye and smiled. Xue Ye felt warmth in his heart as he held his wife's hand.
Although she was the daughter of the Alchemy City Lord and no one dared to touch her, it was still touching that she was willing to come out with him in such a situation.
"I'm the one who came to propose today. What are you guys doing here?" Gu Dongliu looked at the people around him and said.
Ye Futian smiled brightly and said, "Third Brother, do you think we're on your side or your side?"
Gu Dongliu was stunned and smiled. "What a glib tongue."
"Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, Hua Jieyu, do you know what you're doing?" the Tianxing Pavilion Lord looked at Ye Futian's group and said.
This matter was the will of the Holy Zhi Palace. Now, these disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace were standing against the will of the Holy Zhi Palace.
"I asked my master before coming here, and he agreed to let me come. Although I'm a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace, this is cultivation, and I have to stay true to myself. The will of the Holy Zhi Palace can be wrong sometimes," Ye Futian looked at Sage Tianxing and said.
"I said that you and Yu Sheng can enter the Sage Hall to cultivate in a few days. Everything you do now should be for cultivation," Liu Chan looked at Ye Futian and the others and said.
"Then I won't enter the Sage Hall." Ye Futian looked at Liu Chan and said, "I don't need external help on the path of the Divine Path!"
