The sound of guqin was heard in the palace. It was Ye Futian playing and everyone listened quietly.
The artistic conception of the zither contained a sense of tranquil beauty. A tranquil scene appeared in the minds of the crowd. In this scene, there was a sea of flowers. Beautiful flowers bloomed on the ground, exuding a sweet fragrance.
A woman dressed in white seemed to be walking in the picture. She strolled in the sea of flowers and seemed to be intoxicated, picking the flowers and smelling their fragrance.
Butterflies of various colors flew from afar and bloomed in the air, dancing around the woman.
It was an extremely serene tune, depicting a beautiful and peaceful scene. For some reason, many people could not help but think of Goddess Die as the woman in the picture. It was as if she was the woman in the picture, quiet and beautiful. It was as if she was an otherworldly being, untainted by the mortal world.
The song ended and many people still had their eyes closed. They seemed to still be intoxicated by the beautiful artistic conception of the guqin.
"Amazing." Someone praised and looked at Goddess Die. Ye Futian had improvised a song, and it seemed as if he had played it for Goddess Die.
A strange look appeared in Goddess Die's eyes as she looked at Ye Futian. She saw that Ye Futian had an otherworldly aura. The strings stopped moving and his slender fingers slowly retracted. The Guqin Spirit disappeared. Ye Futian looked up. His beautiful eyes were filled with a clear smile as he said, "I came to the Nine State College this time to pay a visit to Saint Jiang. I'm sure Goddess Die knows that the first time I saw you, my impression of you was just like the artistic conception of the song. It was as if you did not belong to this world, and so I gave this song to you. I hope you will forgive me if I was rude."
Ye Futian was straightforward with his intentions because he had a favor to ask of Goddess Die. If he had given her a song on their first meeting, it would have seemed frivolous. However, since he had a favor to ask, it was normal for him to give her a gift. If he had given her any other treasures, it would have seemed tacky and Goddess Die would probably not have accepted it.
As such, such a song was just right. It did not seem frivolous or rude, and yet it was a gesture of his sincerity.
Goddess Die smiled when she heard Ye Futian's words. She looked at Ye Futian with some surprise and said, "I like the artistic conception of the song. Thank you, Palace Lord Ye."
Hearing Goddess Die's words, Ye Futian knew that his request had been fulfilled. He had given her a song as a gift and she had accepted it, which meant that she had agreed to his request.
"Goddess, please name this song," Ye Futian said with a smile.
"Let's call it Butterfly in Love with Flowers," Goddess Die said.
"Butterflies in love with flowers. Wonderful." Ye Futian smiled and nodded.
"It is indeed wonderful. It suits the artistic conception of the guqin." Everyone nodded in agreement. They looked at Ye Futian and thought that not only was Palace Lord Ye powerful in cultivation, but he was also talented in certain areas. It was just their first meeting, but a song that was just right not only achieved his goal but also brought them closer.
Today's matter would probably become a story that would be passed down through the generations.
After all, both of them were well-known figures.
"I'll accept your gift, Palace Lord Ye. It's just that Master has indeed been training in seclusion recently. Please don't blame my brother, Palace Lord Ye. If Master comes out of seclusion, I'll inform you and introduce you to him," Goddess Die said with a smile.
"If that's the case, then I thank you." Ye Futian cupped his hands. The first step was accomplished. With Goddess Die's introduction, he would at least be able to meet Saint Jiang in person.
"You're welcome, Palace Lord Ye. I've enjoyed the song, so I'll take my leave now." Goddess Die stood up and bowed slightly. Ye Futian and the others stood up and bowed as well, saying, "Lin Xi, thank you for the trouble. Please help me send Goddess Die off."
"Then why don't you give me a song as well?" Lin Xi smiled at Ye Futian.
"No problem." Ye Futian smiled and nodded. He did not ask Lin Xi for help, but Lin Xi took the initiative to invite Goddess Die over, which meant that she wanted to help him. Ye Futian understood that, and so did Goddess Die.
Giving her a song for a favor was not a problem.
"If it's not as good as Butterfly in Love with Flowers, I won't accept it," Lin Xi said jokingly before leaving with Goddess Die.
After the two of them left, many gave Ye Futian a thumbs up. Someone smiled and said, "The world only knows that Palace Lord Ye is famous throughout the Nine States and that his talents are unparalleled. I'm afraid they don't know that his talents in certain areas are just as outstanding.
"Indeed. I'm impressed." Someone else smiled and said with a hint of mockery. They had been coming here often and had become more familiar with each other, so they did not feel restrained. Ye Futian was usually very easygoing.
"You guys." Ye Futian smiled and shook his head. If he had not wanted to see Saint Jiang, he would not have gone through all this trouble.
Saint Jiang only had two students. Xu Chehan ignored him, so Ye Futian had to go through Goddess Die.
"What are you guys talking about? What qualifications do you have to be like Palace Lord Ye? Reputation, talent?" A woman looked at the crowd and said.
"Or looks?" The woman smiled and teased.
"Pfft, that's too much."
"Palace Lord Ye already has a wife, but he doesn't have a concubine. Are you thinking about it?" Someone retorted. Everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
…
What happened at Ye Futian's place quickly spread throughout the Nine State College. Many were surprised, as they did not expect Goddess Die to come out of the Herb Garden and agree to introduce Ye Futian.
Ye Futian had been going to the Herb Garden every day for the past month, and now he had fulfilled his wish.
Ye Futian's reputation in the Nine State College was very good these days. Be it those who went to spar with him or those who asked for guidance, they all respected Ye Futian and were somewhat impressed. It was not without reason that Ye Futian was able to become the leader of the Barren State and unify the will of the Barren State to fight against the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
The Barren State had a leader with outstanding talent and bearing. If Ye Futian did not fall in the Sacred War, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty would probably be in trouble in the future.
It was no wonder that the cultivators of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had come to the Nine State College to stop Sage Douzhan from becoming a saint.
The next day, Xu Chehan also heard some news in the Herb Garden. He went to where Goddess Die lived.
"Sister."
"Brother, I have something to tell you," Goddess Die said. "Ye Futian has been visiting the Herb Garden every day for the past month. I plan to introduce him, and if there is a chance, let him see Master."
"Didn't Jiang Chuan tell you when he came last time that there is a grudge between the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the Barren State? There is no need for Master to get involved," Xu Chehan said.
"Ye Futian is a Palace Lord of a holy land of the Barren State after all, and he has been visiting for a month. Such sincerity is also for his Master. We should not keep him outside." Goddess Die chuckled and said, "As for whether or not to participate, it is not something we can decide. It is up to Master. I believe that Master has his own ideas, and we are just introducing him."
Xu Chehan nodded slightly after hearing Goddess Die's words and said, "Since you say so, we will do as you say. If he comes to visit, we will see him."
"Alright." Goddess Die smiled and nodded. Xu Chehan then left to find Jiang Chuan and asked, "Did Ye Futian come today?"
"No," Jiang Chuan shook his head and said.
"If he comes in the future, introduce him to me," Xu Chehan said. Jiang Chuan nodded.
However, Ye Futian did not come to visit again. Since Goddess Die had already agreed, there was no need for him to visit every day.
As for his visits over the past few days, it was not for Xu Chehan to see. Since Xu Chehan did not give him face, Ye Futian naturally would not waste time on him. If it had not been for his relationship with Saint Jiang, he would not have had the chance to see Xu Chehan.
Another half a month passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Lin Xi found Ye Futian and informed him that he could go to the Herb Garden.
Ye Futian let out a long sigh and went to find his Master, Sage Douzhan and the others. They went to the Herb Garden together.
A servant girl was waiting outside. When she saw Ye Futian, she asked, "Are you Palace Lord Ye?"
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded.
"The Second Young Lady asked me to bring you into the garden, Palace Lord Ye," the servant girl bowed and said. The Second Young Lady was, of course, Goddess Die.
"Thank you." Ye Futian nodded and followed her into the Herb Garden.
The Herb Garden was huge and filled with Spiritual Qi. The scent of medicine filled the air. There were not many buildings there, and herbs were planted everywhere.
The servant girl led them to a long corridor in the courtyard. Goddess Die stood there and smiled when she saw Ye Futian coming.
"I have already told my Master. Come with me," Goddess Die said.
"Thank you, Goddess Die," Ye Futian said. Then, they passed through the long corridor and came to a building. Beside the stairs, a cold figure stood there. He wore a black robe and glanced at Ye Futian and the others.
This person was Xu Chehan. He stood there quietly and said nothing. Ye Futian glanced at him and guessed who he was. He nodded slightly and said nothing.
Goddess Die walked up the stairs and said, "Master, Palace Lord Ye is here."
Footsteps were heard and a figure walked into the hall.
Ye Futian looked at the man and saw that he looked to be in his thirties or forties. His hair was gray and white, but his face was extremely handsome. If he was younger, he would have been a handsome man. However, the most outstanding thing about him was his eyes. They seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of life and could see through people's hearts. The moment Ye Futian met his eyes, he had the illusion that he was being seen through.
Ye Futian averted his gaze and bowed, saying, "Ye Futian of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State greets the senior."
"Greetings, Saint Jiang." Douzhan and the others bowed to pay their respects as well. The person before them was ranked twelfth on the Saint Ranking, almost standing at the pinnacle of the Nine States.
Saint Jiang's gaze fell on Sage Douzhan and scanned his body. His will descended upon Sage Douzhan's body and he said, "You are lucky."
To cultivators, breaking through to the Saint Realm was a baptism, and it was also a tribulation. If they couldn't overcome it, then they would practically die.
Sage Douzhan had withstood the might of the catastrophe but was still alive. He was indeed very lucky.
"Senior, please help me," Ye Futian bowed and said.
