The people of the Holy Zhi Palace had also arrived two days earlier and settled in a palace in Huatian City. However, they were very low-key and did not cause the slightest disturbance outside. They had been quietly staying in the palace.
Huatian City was the territory of Xihua Sacred Mountain, and now that Xihua Sacred Mountain was going to have a marriage alliance with the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, the people of the Holy Zhi Palace naturally understood that this was not the time to be high-profile.
Even so, the people of Huatian City quickly learned of Ye Futian's arrival.
Recently, there had been a lot of talk about Ye Futian in Huatian City. Most of it was said that Ye Futian had missed the opportunity to go to the Upper Worlds to train, and that many of the top geniuses of the holy lands of the Nine States had been named as the Chosen Ones. Now, could Ye Futian still be as arrogant as he was in the past, saying that all the geniuses of the Nine States would compete and who could suppress a generation? He himself was just a witness.
In more than three years, no one knew what level Ye Futian had reached, but Liu Zong, who had entered the Sage Plane, must be stronger than him.
On this day, people came to visit Ye Futian's palace. They were people from the Yue Clan of the Summer State. Yue Jiangliu, a cultivator on the Sage and Saint Ranking who Ye Futian had met several times in the Summer State, and Yue Lingshuang, the daughter of the Yue Clan, were there.
Although Ye Futian had not agreed to the marriage alliance, he still maintained a good friendship, so he received them personally.
At this time, in the courtyard of the palace, Ye Futian ordered people to prepare a banquet to entertain the people of the Yue Clan.
Everyone sat down, and Yue Lingshuang's beautiful eyes were always on Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu beside him. She smiled lightly and said, "In more than three years, I haven't heard much from Palace Lord Ye, but there are rumors that there have been footprints of Palace Lord Ye in the various states. Are these rumors true?"
"Maybe." Ye Futian smiled and nodded at Yue Lingshuang. When he had taken a detour from the Nine State College to the Endless Sea, he had indeed left his footprints in many places.
"Then Palace Lord Ye's experience in more than three years must have been very rich," Yue Lingshuang said with a smile.
"Not really. For more than three years, I have spent most of my time cultivating. I have experienced several crises, but I have been able to overcome them all. Overall, I have gained a lot," Ye Futian said with a smile.
Yue Lingshuang wanted to continue.
"Lingshuang, are you that curious? Do you want Palace Lord Ye to sit down and talk to you about your experiences in the past few years?" Yue Jiangliu joked, and Yue Lingshuang blushed. She knew she had said too much. She smiled apologetically at Ye Futian and said, "I was being rude."
"How could that be? Miss Lingshuang, you can ask whatever you want. There's no need to be so reserved. When my husband returned, he often praised Miss Lingshuang in front of me." Before Ye Futian could say anything, Hua Jieyu, who was beside him, said with a smile.
Yue Jiangliu and Yue Lingshuang were obviously stunned and looked at Hua Jieyu in surprise.
Yue Jiangliu was much more mature, and obviously thought more than Yue Lingshuang. He looked at Hua Jieyu sitting next to Ye Futian. She had a noble temperament, a beautiful face, and at this moment, she had the bearing of the wife of a palace lord of a holy land.
The meaning behind Hua Jieyu's words was thought-provoking.
"Madam, you flatter me. In front of you, Lingshuang can only be ashamed of her inferiority. Because I admire Palace Lord Ye's peerless charm, I was curious and said a few more words. Please don't blame me, madam." Yue Lingshuang bowed her head slightly. Although she was also a rare beauty, in front of Hua Jieyu, she was inferior.
"How could I blame Miss Lingshuang? In the future, if you want to know about him, you can come to me directly. I will tell you everything I know. My husband will be proud to have Sister Lingshuang admire him." Hua Jieyu laughed softly, calling her sister instead of "Miss."
Such a form of address made Yue Lingshuang's heart pound. She didn't dare to look at Hua Jieyu in the eyes. How could she not understand the meaning behind Hua Jieyu's words?
No wonder she could become Ye Futian's wife. She was indeed a very outstanding woman, she thought.
"Well, then I will visit you when I have the chance," Yue Lingshuang whispered.
Next to her, Ye Futian had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two women. He felt ashamed, as if he had nothing to do with it.
He didn't know what Hua Jieyu was thinking.
"Palace Lord Ye, what do you think about this marriage?" Yue Jiangliu spoke again, changing the subject to avoid Yue Lingshuang's embarrassment.
"I have no opinion." Ye Futian took a sip of wine and said, "I have no right to ask whether Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty will unite by marriage or not. I am just a little curious as to whether Liu Zong will join the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty or Zhou Ziyi will join Xihua Sacred Mountain."
"You are quite calm. The Saint Plane figures from all the holy lands of the Nine States are here. Liu Zong and Zhou Ziyi alone don't have this kind of weight. The key is still behind them. Everyone thinks that this marriage is of great significance, especially for the Barren State. Palace Lord Ye should be more vigilant," Yue Jiangliu reminded him.
"Senior's reminder is right. I will take it to heart." Ye Futian nodded.
"There is one more thing. I heard that people from Zhisheng Cliffs came to Huatian City many days in advance. Kong Yao of Zhisheng Cliffs is in frequent contact with Xihua Sacred Mountain. Palace Lord Ye should be more careful," Yue Jiangliu said.
Ye Futian's deep eyes flashed with a touch of coldness. Sure enough, Zhisheng Cliffs could not bear the loneliness.
All these years, Zhisheng Cliffs had been watching him and the Holy Zhi Palace rise. They had not made any moves, but everyone knew about the grudge between the two sides, especially Kong Yao. As such, if there was a chance to destroy the Barren State, Zhisheng Cliffs would definitely jump out.
Ye Futian never doubted this.
However, now Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty were providing Zhisheng Cliffs with such an opportunity.
"Thank you." Ye Futian thanked Yue Jiangliu.
The Barren State was under great pressure.
Now, at the Sage Plane, the Holy Zhi Palace was no weaker than the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, and as time passed, the Holy Zhi Palace would only grow stronger. But if there was also Xihua Sacred Mountain and Zhisheng Cliffs, it would be a disaster. Moreover, there was still the Saint Plane. He still hadn't thought about it. What should he do when the time came?
There was still no one who could compete with the Great Zhou Sacred King. Although the Master had cultivated for more than three years, he was afraid that he could not. At that level, it was not something that could be transformed in a few years.
Yue Jiangliu and the others continued to chat for a while before leaving. Although they did not say anything explicitly, if Ye Futian was willing to marry the Yue Clan now, they would naturally agree.
But they had already been rejected last time. Ye Futian did not take the initiative to ask, and the Yue Clan would naturally not take the initiative to bring up the matter again.
Even if they maintained a good relationship, the Yue Clan, as an ancient holy land, had their own pride.
"Lingshuang is smart and beautiful, and gentle. She admires you very much. If she can be by your side, she will be very obedient." Hua Jieyu smiled in Ye Futian's ear.
"Let's go." Ye Futian pulled Hua Jieyu.
"Where to?" Hua Jieyu blinked.
"My husband needs to be punished," Ye Futian said.
"…"
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and neither Xihua Sacred Mountain nor the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty came to harass them.
On this day, Huatian City was completely shaken. Early in the morning, countless people rushed to the foot of Xihua Sacred Mountain, looking up at the magnificent sacred mountain.
Today, Xihua Sacred Mountain's most outstanding disciple of this generation, Liu Zong, a figure taught by three saints, was going to marry the princess of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
It was rumored that all the holy lands of the Nine States had come together to congratulate him, and even the saints of the holy lands had come to Huatian City.
How could such news not cause a violent shock? Therefore, countless people in Huatian City had come early.
On the Stairway of the Heavenly Path leading to Xihua Sacred Mountain, beautiful maids stood on both sides of the stairs. The mighty array was astonishing.
At this time, figures descended from the void. The cultivators who could descend from the sky at this time were naturally people from holy lands. In order to show respect, even the saints did not directly enter Xihua Sacred Mountain. Instead, they landed in the direction of the stairs outside the mountain gate and then walked up the stairs.
Today, the people of the Nine States were all guests.
"Those are the cultivators from the three holy lands of the Endless Ocean."
"The holy land of Qi State is also here. Look at Saint Ji, fifth on the Saint Ranking." Some people looked in the direction of Saint Ji, the owner of the Hall of Holy Light. However, at that moment, Saint Ji looked behind him, and all those who were talking about him felt an extremely sharp gaze, as if it was looking at them across the void, and many people's hearts skipped a beat.
The existence ranked fifth on the Saint Ranking was so strong.
"The cultivators of the Vajra Region and the Holy Temple of Ten Corners have also arrived." For countless people in Huatian City, they had never seen such a grand occasion.
"Our Glass Saint of the Eastern State is here." At this time, there seemed to be a strange color in the sky. Below, countless eyes were attracted by the graceful figure walking down from the sky.
The first beauty of the Eastern State, Glass Saint.
"Senior Glass Saint." At this time, a voice came from afar, and a group of figures came on a sword. On the giant sword, a handsome man with a graceful bearing shouted to Glass Saint.
Glass Saint turned her head and saw Ye Futian and the others coming. She smiled and said, "Palace Lord Ye, what a coincidence."
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and your temperament has become more and more outstanding. Standing next to you makes people feel ashamed." Ye Futian looked at Glass Saint and smiled.
"Palace Lord Ye was not so humble at the Nine State Platform," Glass Saint said with a smile. The noble and holy Glass Saint was breathtakingly beautiful, and at this moment, talking and laughing, she was even more charming.
Many people looked at Ye Futian in surprise. This guy was really confident enough to talk to Glass Saint. So many cultivators from holy lands were here, and he only talked to the most beautiful Glass Saint.
Moreover, Glass Saint seemed to be willing to talk to a junior.
"The Nine State Platform is facing the Great Zhou Sacred King. How could a so-called Sacred King like the Great Zhou Sacred King, who is only good at using his power to bully others and arrange marriages be compared to the Glass Saint, who is the most beautiful in the Nine States?" Ye Futian laughed loudly. Hearing his words, countless people's eyes froze. It was no secret that the Great Zhou Sacred King had feelings for Glass Saint, but at this moment, Ye Futian actually mocked the Great Zhou Sacred King in front of Glass Saint, saying that he was not qualified to be compared to Glass Saint, let alone pursue her.
This guy was too mean!
