In Donghai City, Donghai Academy had been reorganized and changed beyond recognition.
Many people left the academy, including some important figures. They left with their families and disciples but more people chose to stay.
Year 10000 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar was a rebirth for Donghai Academy. The School of the Emperor Star held the power and the Treasury Star School assisted. The era of the seven schools was now a thing of the past.
But now, no one knew if this rebirth would lead to strength, weakness, or destruction.
In this year, there was once a student of Donghai Academy who was like a shooting star. In an extremely short period of time, his name shook the entire academy. Everyone knew him. However, he didn't even stay for a year before he left with the headmaster of the School of the Finance Star and his teacher.
Currently, no one in Donghai Academy knew what kind of future awaited this young man who had once shone so brightly in Donghai Academy.
But those who watched the Assembly of the Seven Schools all knew that if he didn't die young, he would definitely become an important figure in the Nandou Nation. No one doubted this.
The end of the year was approaching and the Nandou Nation felt a bit more festive. Many people who went out to explore returned home to see their families.
All the prefectures and cities were bustling, preparing for the end of the year.
Even the Imperial City of the Nandou Nation was the same. Many people celebrated and every house was decorated with lanterns and streamers.
The most magnificent building in the Imperial City, the Imperial Palace, also had a festive atmosphere. However, compared to the outside, the Imperial Palace was still a bit cold, as if it was the unique temperament of an emperor.
At this time, in a great hall deep in the Imperial Palace, a figure sat on the throne. He wore a crown and a purple and gold dragon robe, looking sacred and dignified. He exuded the aura of an emperor. This was the most powerful person in the Nandou Nation, the emperor of the Nandou Nation.
The figure before Emperor Luo was Minister Zuo of the Nandou Nation.
"Do you know why I called you here?" Emperor Luo asked Minister Zuo.
"I don't know." Minister Zuo shook his head.
"The Crown Prince heard that you gave the Decree of the Minister to a young man so he purposely went to the City of Donghai. No one can doubt your judgment. It's the same this time. This person is talented and a dragon among men."
Minister Zuo had a bad feeling about this. Was the Crown Prince personally going to Donghai City because of his high regard?
"He is indeed an outstanding young man. However, the Crown Prince has gone to the City of Donghai for such a small matter. This is making a big deal out of nothing. Your Majesty, please advise the Crown Prince. As the Crown Prince, he shouldn't waste his time on this," said Minister Zuo, trying to play down the issue.
"He was inspired by this trip. It's not a bad idea to travel more. What's the fate of that young man?" Emperor Luo asked casually.
"Your Majesty, you should know that I no longer do fortune-telling. When astrologers spread their fortune-telling, it can easily affect the fate of others and cause their fate to be changed. This goes against the Heavenly Dao and can easily cause a backlash." Minister Zuo bowed and said. What he said was actually the truth. He did not dare to say that he had calculated Ye Futian's fortune. If word got out, it would affect Ye Futian's fate and might cause his fortune to be altered. This was definitely not a good thing. Astrologers always had short lives, and there must be a reason for it.
"You rascal, where do you get so many excuses? Didn't you say that it's fine to just go with the flow?" Emperor Luo stood up and smiled. "Then, what about the daughter of the Nandou clan? What's her fate? After you returned to the Imperial City, you suddenly did a lot of things. I shouldn't have asked, but I still wanted to ask you. "
Minister Zuo's heart tightened. He did not think that His Majesty and the Crown Prince would pay attention to his every move. Thinking of this, he could not help but feel regret. He should not have promised Nandou Tai to calculate Hua Jieyu's fate. Of course, at that time, he did not know that Hua Jieyu's fate was so heaven-defying, nor did he know what her relationship with Ye Futian was.
"Your Majesty." Minister Zuo bowed and said, "In order to repay Your Majesty's kindness, I have followed Your Majesty for many years and did not dare to slack off. I have always worked hard to find talents for Your Majesty and strengthen the country."
"You rascal, of course I know." Seeing Minister Zuo like this, Emperor Luo could not help but shake his head and smile. At this moment, he did not seem like an emperor but more like an elder brother.
"All these years, I have been careful with the methods of an astrologer and have explained the reason to Your Majesty many times. This time, when I passed by the East Sea Prefecture on my way to the City of Qingzhou, I found an interesting young man and calculated the fate of another person. These two people are both fated and will affect the future of the Nandou Nation. Therefore, I took advantage of the situation and wanted to do something for them," Minister Zuo continued.
Emperor Luo nodded lightly and smiled. "Thank you. I trust you. Also, that girl is naughty. Please forgive her. If she dares to disrespect you, teach her a lesson. You don't have to give me face."
"The princess is a little headstrong but both her talent and personality are very good," Minister Zuo said.
"Okay, you can go now," Emperor Luo said, patting his shoulder. Emperor Luo patted him on the shoulder and said. Minister Zuo bowed with his hands folded in front and retreated. After he was out, he turned around and left.
Sweat appeared on his forehead. As an astrologer, he always walked on thin ice. There were many things that he could not say. Once he did, it would be a disaster.
For example, the fate of the Nandou Nation and the fate of the Crown Prince.
He hoped that his hard work would have the opportunity to change something.
Minister Zuo did not know that not long after he left, two figures appeared in the same hall. They were the Crown Prince, Luo Junlin, and Minister Hua.
At this time, Emperor Luo was writing something at the table. At the same time, he said, "Minister Zuo said that both of them are fated and can change the fate of the Nandou Nation. Since this is the case, I will follow your wishes and take advantage of the situation."
Minister Hua and the Crown Prince did not reply. They waited quietly. They knew that Emperor Luo was writing the decree himself.
After a while, Emperor Luo put down his brush. With a wave of his hand, the floating golden scroll floated toward Minister Hua.
"Take it," Emperor Luo said indifferently. Minister Hua reached out and took it.
Minister Hua glanced at it and was shocked. His Majesty was indeed his Majesty. He acted decisively and did not hurt Minister Zuo's face. It was a stroke of genius.
"Although I believe in fate, I do not fully believe in it. Fate can be changed. But I know one thing that cannot be changed. All the land under the heavens belongs to the Emperor. In the Nandou Nation, my will is the will of the heavens," Emperor Luo said. Emperor Luo said faintly, "Go and deal with this personally. It's the end of the year. Crown Prince, stay in the palace to cultivate. Minister Zuo was right about one thing. To you, other than the world, everything else is trivial."
"Yes, father." Luo Junlin nodded.
"I will go to the City of Donghai now. But Your Majesty, if someone disobeys, what should be done?" Minister Hua asked.
"Since you are going personally, is there a need to say more?" Emperor Luo said. Minister Hua's eyes flashed. He immediately understood what Emperor Luo meant. If it was just to issue a decree, anyone could be sent. He was sent to prevent anyone from disobeying. With him there, no one could do anything in the City of Donghai.
All the land under the heavens belongs to the Emperor. My will is the will of the heavens. The attitude in this sentence was already very clear.
"I will leave." Minister Hua bowed and left.
…
Ye Futian naturally didn't know what was happening in the Imperial City. Another year was about to pass. He didn't know where his parents were, how his aunt and uncle were, or how Ye Xiaoqin and Ye Mo were doing.
After the end of the year, he would leave Donghai and head for the Imperial City. Traveling with the Fox in the future would be very exciting.
In the courtyard, Ye Futian glanced at Yu Sheng and Yi Qingxuan who were stuck together. He felt a little hurt.
"Yu Sheng," Ye Futian called out. Yu Sheng looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
"Cultivate well. Don't immerse yourself in love all day. That's not good," Ye Futian said seriously.
Yu Sheng froze. Yi Qingxuan smiled at him and said, "Yu Sheng, Hua Jieyu is not here. Someone is jealous."
"Yes. Back in the City of Qingzhou, when I was cultivating, he and Hua Jieyu were together every day. Later, they got together," Yu Sheng said to Yi Qingxuan. Ye Futian, who had been ignored, stood there and looked at the two. He said, "You two are ruthless."
He turned and left. Ye Futian came to a place in the courtyard. Not far in front of him, a white-haired old man was cleaning the courtyard.
"Grandpa Yu." Ye Futian walked up to him. The old man raised his head and revealed an old smile in his murky eyes. He said, "Young Master Ye."
"Grandpa Yu, it's almost the end of the year. Aren't you going home?" Ye Futian asked. In the past few days, he often came to chat with the old man.
"I have no home to return to." The old man shook his head, feeling a little lonely.
"Why do you have no home to return to? Where are you from?" Ye Futian asked again.
"I stayed in the island city of Donghai. Young Master, you probably haven't heard of it. Later, I drifted to Donghai City and can't go back," the old man said sadly.
"Grandpa Yu, you're so old. You must have experienced many stories. Can you tell me some?" Ye Futian asked with a smile.
"What stories can I have? I've always been serving others. I had a master who was very good to me before, but then something happened. Of course, Young Master Ye is also very good to me now." The old man looked at Ye Futian gratefully.
"No way. Grandpa Yu is so old. Take care of your health in the future," Ye Futian said.
"I know, I know. Young Master Ye, go do your own things. Don't worry about me," the old man said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll leave. I'll come see you again when I have time," Ye Futian said. Then, he turned around and left. His black eyes kept turning, as if he was thinking about something.
