Liu Chan stared at Ye Futian. If any other disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace had dared to defy his will, he would not have cared.
However, he was Ye Futian, first on the Law Rank. He had personally summoned the six palaces to discuss and allowed him to cultivate in the Sage Hall. It was obvious that he had high hopes for Ye Futian. He had hoped that Ye Futian would be like Bai Luli in the future, or even walk side by side with him.
But now, he was somewhat disappointed in Ye Futian.
While Ye Futian had his own standpoint, which was not wrong, compared to having a saint in the Barren State, all personal standpoints were not worth mentioning.
"The Holy Zhi Palace is the holy land of cultivation in the Barren State. Cultivating in the Palace is not restricted by rules, and you can do whatever you want. The Palace will not interfere." Sage Tianxing's eyes landed on Ye Futian and he said, "However, there is one rule that all disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace must abide by. The Will of the Holy Zhi Palace is supreme, and any individual's will must give way before the Will of the Holy Zhi Palace. It is not just the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace, but even the elders of the Holy Zhi Palace, and even the Palace Lord must abide by it.
"You have already gone against the Palace's will today."
"What if the Palace's will is wrong?" Ye Futian looked at Sage Tianxing and asked.
"The Palace's individual will may be wrong, but the Palace's will will not be wrong," Sage Tianxing said firmly.
Ye Futian looked at Sage Tianxing, then at his Third Brother and Second Sister, and said firmly, "But this time, I still insist that the Palace's will is wrong."
Sage Tianxing looked at Liu Chan and Liu Chan said, "I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to step down or not?"
"No." Ye Futian's tone was still firm, without hesitation.
"Alright." Liu Chan said, "The Lord of Tianxing Pavilion is in charge of the Palace's laws. He went against the Palace's will and went against his elders. How will he be dealt with?"
"Expelled," the Lord of Tianxing Pavilion said.
"Since you are so proud, then from now on, you are no longer a disciple of the Palace," Liu Chan looked at Ye Futian and said calmly, but he felt a slight pain in his heart.
But even so, his will was extremely firm. The Barren State must have a saint. Bai Luli had received the inheritance of the Sage Hall's will in the Sage Hall. Now, the Holy Zhi Palace had to help Bai Luli become a saint. This was also his Third Brother's last wish. The Barren State must have a saint. For this, some sacrifices were not spared.
At the banquet, the influential figures stared at Liu Chan, their hearts in turmoil.
The number one on the Law Rank, Ye Futian, was expelled from the Holy Zhi Palace.
Liu Chan's heart must be aching at this moment.
However, in the current situation, Ye Futian was determined to stand by Gu Dongliu's side. This meant that he was already standing against the Will of the Holy Zhi Palace. At the same time, he was also standing against Bai Luli. There was no way to change that. As such, Liu Chan had to make a choice.
Liu Chan must have been extremely unwilling to make such a choice.
After all, there were only two or three geniuses like Ye Futian in this generation, including Bai Luli.
In the Holy Zhi Palace, there had never been a history of the Law Rank's number one being expelled. Ye Futian could be considered to have set a precedent.
Bai Ze, who was sitting at the side, smirked coldly. Ye Futian had been expelled by the Holy Zhi Palace and was now an outcast.
"Martial Uncle, the marriage can be discussed. This matter needs to be taken seriously." Zhuge Qingfeng said. He had witnessed Ye Futian's talent with his own eyes, but things had developed beyond his control. Everything had been prepared, and it was not something that could be resolved with just the word "stop". He also knew how firm the Will of the Holy Zhi Palace was this time.
He had thought that after this matter was over, he would have a good chat with Liu Chan. At the very least, he would have to wait for Ye Futian for a few more years.
However, today, Ye Futian stood on the opposite side of Liu Chan. Both of them were so stubborn that they stood their ground. Neither of them could convince the other, and as such, the current situation had developed.
Ye Futian had been expelled.
Zhuge Qingfeng, of course, knew what this meant.
"I've already asked him three times," Liu Chan said. He had expelled Ye Futian not only because Ye Futian had gone against the Will of the Holy Zhi Palace, but also because today's matter had destined him to stand against Bai Luli. Moreover, the Holy Zhi Palace needed to give Bai Luli an explanation.
Who would be hurt the most by what happened today?
Without a doubt, Bai Luli was a genius ranked tenth on the Barren Sky Ranking. However, today, Gu Dongliu had come to Crouching Dragon Mountain to kidnap the bride, and Zhuge Mingyue had agreed without any hesitation in front of everyone.
"What about you guys?" Liu Chan looked at Yu Sheng, Hua Jieyu, and Yi Xiaoshi.
"I'll be wherever he is," Yu Sheng said.
Hua Jieyu looked at Liu Chan. She held Ye Futian's hand and walked side by side. There was no need for words.
"Very well." Liu Chan took a deep breath and said, "From today onwards, you are no longer disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace."
The Crouching Dragon Grand Banquet seemed exceptionally quiet and oppressive at the moment.
The first and second on the Law Rank, as well as a Divine Spiritual Sorcerer, had all been expelled. It was clear how much Liu Chan wanted the Barren State to produce a Saint.
Ye Futian looked at Liu Chan and bowed. He raised his head and said, "I've cultivated in the Holy Zhi Palace for more than three years and have benefited greatly. If this matter can be resolved, I will not make an enemy of the Holy Zhi Palace in the future."
After cultivating for more than three years, the Holy Zhi Palace had left a deep impression on him. Even though he had been expelled, he had no grudges against the Holy Zhi Palace other than this matter.
He only felt that the Holy Zhi Palace was in the wrong this time, and he still stood his ground.
The crowd was slightly moved by Ye Futian's words. However, this matter would not be so easily resolved.
Xu Que and Huang Jiuge looked at the figure and felt helpless. Xu Que had already reminded Ye Futian, fearing that he would act rashly. However, it seemed that there was no way to persuade Ye Futian as he was already involved.
The mighty ones from the Zhuge Family stepped forward. Since Ye Futian and the others had been expelled from the Holy Zhi Palace, they no longer had any reservations.
"Stand down." An authoritative voice was heard, causing many to be stunned.
They turned around and looked at the person who had spoken in shock.
It was the clan leader of the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Qingfeng.
The mighty ones from the Zhuge Family also had strange expressions. The clan leader had actually asked them to stand down.
At the banquet, many wore strange expressions. Could it be that Zhuge Qingfeng still cared about his daughter?
"Qingfeng," an elder from the Zhuge Family said. His seniority was even higher than Zhuge Qingfeng's.
"Junior, what do you mean by this?" The City Lord of White Cloud City stood there, his long robe fluttering in the wind. He had a terrifying aura about him. He did not look at Zhuge Qingfeng, but from the time when Zhuge Qingfeng advised Liu Chan to be careful, he could feel that Zhuge Qingfeng's attitude was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
Liu Chan also looked at Zhuge Qingfeng. Of course, he could feel that Zhuge Qingfeng was wavering.
"Let the young settle their own matters." Zhuge Qingfeng's expression was calm and did not show much emotion. It was as if he had already thought things through.
Now that things had come to this, he naturally had to have his own attitude. Under such circumstances, one decision from him could change the fate of many.
His daughter, Zhuge Mingyue, Ye Futian, and Gu Dongliu.
Everyone's fate was now in his hands. Only he had the ability to change the situation. This was Crouching Dragon Mountain, and he was the master of Crouching Dragon Mountain.
Perhaps this was the reason why Ye Futian came to find him yesterday.
He understood, and so did Ye Futian.
Yesterday, Ye Futian left after saying what he wanted to say. The final decision was still made by him.
"Luli, what do you think about this?" Zhuge Qingfeng looked at Bai Luli, who had been sitting there all this time.
At that moment, countless eyes fell on Bai Luli.
He was the star of today's show.
Zhuge Mingyue was supposed to be engaged to him today, but Gu Dongliu came to Crouching Dragon Mountain and the conversation between the two of them had undoubtedly embarrassed Bai Luli.
At that moment, Bai Luli stood up and walked forward slowly. Under the gaze of countless eyes, Bai Luli looked at Zhuge Mingyue.
"If you were unwilling, you didn't have to agree before. Why did you do this?" Bai Luli asked. His master, father, the Holy Zhi Palace, and White Cloud City all wanted to see him and Zhuge Mingyue together. He knew the responsibility that he had to bear, and he liked Zhuge Mingyue as well. As such, he naturally agreed to this marriage.
"Did you ask me if I agreed?" Zhuge Mingyue looked at Bai Luli and asked.
Bai Luli shook his head. He had not asked.
"You are the pride of this generation in the Barren State. Countless people have high hopes for you. You are ranked tenth on the Barren Sky Ranking and are unparalleled in the Barren State. Everyone thinks that this marriage is only natural, so you think so too." Zhuge Mingyue smiled and said, "Other than your exceptional talents, you're also gentle and humble. You don't seem to have any flaws. You're too perfect, but everything in the world is flawed. As such, I don't like you. Even if the entire Barren State thinks that I should marry you, I don't like you. Even if he hadn't come, I wouldn't have married you."
Bai Luli listened to Zhuge Mingyue's words quietly, then said softly, "I understand."
As he said that, he seemed to laugh at himself.
The marriage that the entire Barren State thought highly of was actually a farce from start to finish.
"You are right. Everything in the world has flaws. I am also not a perfect person." Bai Luli looked at Zhuge Mingyue and continued, "As such, even if I can understand you, I cannot forgive you."
As he said that, he took a step forward and said, "As such, I, Bai Luli, insist on taking you as my wife."
As his voice landed, he looked at Gu Dongliu and said, "As for those who broke my marriage, I will naturally not forgive them."
A powerful aura bloomed from Bai Luli. He stepped forward and walked towards Gu Dongliu. The elders of the Zhuge family saw this scene and stepped back, making way for him.
Feeling the pressure from Bai Luli's body, Ye Futian and the others all had solemn expressions on their faces. However, at that moment, Gu Dongliu took a step forward and stood in front of them. He looked straight at Bai Luli and said, "Let's go up."
As his voice landed, his body shot into the clouds and landed in the sky above Crouching Dragon Mountain.
