On Crouching Dragon Mountain, everyone's eyes were fixed on the incoming figures. The young man in the lead looked down at Gu Dongliu and Zhuge Mingyue, laughing to himself. So it's because of the beauties, no wonder.
Since ancient times, heroes had always been unable to overcome the obstacle of love. Gu Dongliu was also an unparalleled figure who dared to steal the sacred item from him and flee. It was a pity that he was still found in the end.
With women, there would naturally be a weakness.
"You are?" Zhuge Qingfeng looked at the incoming group and saw them land on the ground. The young man in the lead bowed slightly and said, "I heard that the Zhuge family is holding a banquet on Crouching Dragon Mountain today. Many seniors from the Barren State are here. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you. I am Zhan Xiao from Zhisheng Cliffs of Yu State."
"Zhisheng Cliffs." The eyes of the great figures present suddenly gleamed.
In the land of the Nine States, any clan or force that had the word "sacred" in their name had extraordinary significance and was not something that could be taken lightly.
The Barren State, the Holy Zhi Palace, and the Ice Temple were all places of the sacred path. However, after a period of turmoil, they gradually declined, and there were no saints in this generation.
And Zhisheng Cliffs was a place of the sacred path in Yu State, and they had a supreme status in Yu State.
"So you are from a sacred ground. Please take a seat," Zhuge Qingfeng said.
"Senior, you are too kind." Zhan Xiao cupped his hands and said, "But I am here for one person, so I will not disturb you."
As he said that, his eyes fell on Gu Dongliu and he said, "This person did despicable things in Yu State and stole my treasure. I would like to take him away. I hope you don't mind."
Steal?
Gu Dongliu stared coldly at Zhan Xiao. He was well aware of where the treasure had come from.
Everyone looked at Gu Dongliu. Although they did not necessarily believe what Zhan Xiao said, what did Gu Dongliu do to make the mighty ones of Zhisheng Cliffs chase him all the way to the Barren State?
What treasure did he take?
Zhuge Qingfeng looked at Gu Dongliu, who stood up and stared at Zhan Xiao. He said, "I will give you the thing, and we will end this here."
If it wasn't for today's situation, he definitely wouldn't have handed it over. But now, he could only make some compromises. He didn't want to implicate Ming Yue and the others. As for the debt between him and the other party, he could settle it later.
Of course, Gu Dongliu also knew that the other party probably wouldn't agree.
Zhan Xiao looked at Gu Dongliu mockingly and said, "I'm taking you with me too."
Gu Dongliu stared at him. It was just as he had expected.
Zhuge Mingyue stood beside him and looked at him coldly.
"I still need to understand the situation." Zhuge Qingfeng said. Zhan Xiao and the others looked at him and continued, "Senior, this person stole my belongings and fled all the way. There is no need for me to understand him. How can I accuse him wrongly? I hope that you will grant my request."
"You want to capture people from the Zhuge Family with just one sentence? That's a little inappropriate, isn't it?" It was not that he had a good relationship with Zhuge Qingfeng. On the contrary, he and Zhuge Qingfeng were old rivals.
However, a junior from Zhisheng Cliffs of the Barren State had come directly to the Zhuge Family and wanted to take someone away in front of so many mighty ones ranked on the Barren Sky Ranking. His attitude was overbearing, and it was not giving face to the mighty ones from the Barren State.
Zhuge Qingfeng didn't say anything. It was as if Huang Xi's words reflected his attitude.
"Is this person related to all of you, seniors?" Zhan Xiao looked at everyone and asked. Seeing that no one responded, he continued, "If that's the case, consider it my intrusion today. However, this person's behavior is despicable and he stole my belongings. I must take him with me. Farewell."
After saying that, the group turned around and left without any reluctance. When the young man turned around, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Previously, after tracking Gu Dongliu to the Zhuge Family, they had also learned about the situation here. Today, all the top figures of the Barren State were present. The head of the Zhuge Family was ranked sixth in the Barren State and was very powerful. Although they were from Zhisheng Cliffs, these people were probably not enough.
Since the other party wanted to protect Gu Dongliu, they obviously couldn't take him away.
They didn't expect to have such a strong backer after escaping to the Barren State.
"Go back to Zhisheng Cliffs and tell my junior that I'm willing to study this sacred item with him," Zhan Xiao transmitted his voice to the person beside him, causing the eyes of the mighty ones beside him to flash.
Of course, he knew which junior Zhan Xiao was referring to. Other than that junior, no one else would be able to touch someone that the top figures of the Barren State wanted to protect.
After the group left, the atmosphere on Crouching Dragon Mountain changed slightly. Although they had asked the people from Zhisheng Cliffs to leave, the other party's words clearly meant that the matter wasn't over so easily.
Gu Dongliu was probably already targeted by Zhisheng Cliffs.
No one knew what Ye Futian was thinking as he stood there. When he saw the letter, he knew that Third Brother was in trouble. That was why he went to see Zhuge Qingfeng the previous day and exposed his secret. He knew that if Third Brother were to appear today, the only person who could solve the problem was Zhuge Qingfeng.
"How much of what he said was true?" Zhuge Qingfeng looked at Gu Dongliu and asked.
Gu Dongliu turned his eyes and looked at Zhuge Qingfeng. He had come to Crouching Dragon Mountain today with a resolute attitude. To be able to survive was already a blessing in disguise.
During this period, Mingyue's father had treated him rather well.
"Zhan Xiao is indeed from Zhisheng Cliffs. His plane is the same as mine, but he has a sage following him, so he must have a high status in Zhisheng Cliffs. I heard that he's one of the Nine Warriors of Zhisheng Cliffs. As for the treasure, I did take one, but it wasn't what he said. As for the details, I can't tell you, "Gu Dongliu said. He didn't want to speak of what Zhan Xiao had done in front of everyone. If it reached Zhan Xiao's ears, with his vicious personality, he would probably want many people dead. Although everyone present was a big figure from the Barren State, it was best not to drag others into this.
Zhuge Qingfeng nodded. "If that's the case, you should rest well. Although Zhan Xiao is from Zhisheng Cliffs, he won't be able to touch the Zhuge Family."
Although Zhisheng Cliffs was a place of saints, the actions of their juniors outside would not alert the saints of Zhisheng Cliffs. Zhisheng Cliffs had many branches, which was similar to the Thousand Holy Islands of the Holy Zhi Palace. Even the top figures there were only as strong as those on the Barren Sky Ranking of the Barren State. Even if they were a little stronger, they would not be much stronger. As the saying went, a dragon would not be able to suppress a snake in its own territory. It would not be easy to shake the Zhuge Family.
Be it Zhuge Qingfeng or the top figures of the Barren State, many of them were cultivators on the Barren Sky Ranking who had been through a lot. There was no way they would hand someone over just because of a few words from a junior. That would be an insult to their status.
"Thank you, senior," Gu Dongliu thanked him.
"Father, let the wedding continue," Zhuge Mingyue said, looking at her father. Zhuge Mingyue looked at her father and asked. Many people looked at Zhuge Mingyue in shock.
As a woman, Zhuge Mingyue had taken the initiative to ask to marry Gu Dongliu. Her personality was indeed different.
"Mingyue." Gu Dongliu looked at her and saw Zhuge Mingyue staring into his eyes. Her smiling eyes were clear and determined. She smiled brightly and said, "If you're not willing, I'll find someone else."
"…"
Ye Futian, who was standing at the side, was speechless. No one could control Second Sister's personality. Third Brother would probably be controlled by her in the future.
Looking at Zhuge Mingyue's eyes, Gu Dongliu sighed inwardly. He knew that Zhuge Mingyue had made up her mind.
"If you didn't come today, I would never forgive you. Since you're here, from now on, no matter where you go, I'll be there. Whether I live a carefree life or become a fugitive, it's all my choice." Zhuge Mingyue looked at him, then at Zhuge Qingfeng and said, "I won't regret it."
Gu Dongliu held her hand tightly and felt warmth in his heart. He said, "Alright."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They let go of all the shackles in their hearts. At that moment, their hearts seemed to be one, interdependent and warm for each other.
Ye Futian smiled brightly. He felt warm as well. Although he felt some pressure now, at that moment, it was as if he had let go of everything and forgotten the troubles of the world. Second Sister and Third Brother were finally together.
It was truly wonderful.
Hua Jieyu smiled as well. She looked at Ye Futian and the two of them clasped hands tightly. They could feel each other's hearts.
"If that's the case, Zhuge Qingfeng, please grant them their wish," Huang Xi said. Everyone present today could be considered as witnesses to Gu Dongliu and Zhuge Mingyue. Such feelings were indeed worthy of being together.
"Clan leader, it's better to be cautious about this matter. How can we be so hasty?" An elder of the Zhuge Family said. Although the Zhuge Family did not fear the people of Zhisheng Cliffs, there was still a certain amount of risk involved. Furthermore, although Gu Dongliu had displayed extraordinary talent, the arrival of the people of Zhisheng Cliffs still made them somewhat unhappy. If they were to form a marriage alliance with White Cloud City and Zhuge Mingyue married Bai Luli, the outcome would be very different.
The Zhuge Family would truly stand at the peak of the Barren State. However, there were too many uncertainties now. They had offended White Cloud City and the Holy Zhi Palace, and now, they had a strong enemy in the form of Zhisheng Cliffs.
"My Second Sister and Third Brother are in love with each other. How can this be called hasty?" Ye Futian said. He looked at Zhuge Qingfeng and said, "I hope that Uncle can grant this. If there is really any danger, Third Brother will not drag the Zhuge Family down with him. When everything is over, with my Third Brother's talent, who can say for sure that his future achievements will be below Bai Luli's."
"I will leave the Zhuge Family on my own," Gu Dongliu said. Since Zhuge Mingyue was willing to roam the world with him, he did not want to let her down. However, if anything were to happen, he would not drag the Zhuge Family down with him.
Zhuge Qingfeng looked at Ye Futian. He had only mentioned Gu Dongliu's talent, but Zhuge Qingfeng did know a little about his own talent.
As for Gu Dongliu, he admired him very much.
"Since when do you have the right to interfere in the affairs of the Zhuge Family?" a young man chided.
"The Second Young Mistress is the pearl of the Zhuge Family. How can you easily decide on a marriage with just a few words?"
"Ye Futian, you are no longer a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace. What right do you have to tell the Zhuge Family what to do?" Zhuge Xing said coldly.
"He took Hua Jieyu away and now he's egging his Third Brother to marry his Second Sister. What a good idea."
"Now that he's an abandoned disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace, it's only natural that he would look for other backers. He must be trying to get close to the Zhuge Family."
The young men of the Zhuge Family were all expressing their dissatisfaction with Ye Futian. They had yet to settle the score with Ye Futian for what happened a month ago. He had publicly humiliated the Zhuge Family, a bunch of trash. At that time, Ye Futian was still a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace, the first on the Law Rank, and the disciple of Sage Douzhan. His status was not ordinary at all. Now, he had gone against the will of the Holy Zhi Palace and stood against it, even daring to interfere in the affairs of the Zhuge Family.
