The atmosphere at the banquet was a little subtle. Saint Xihua and the Great Zhou Sacred King did not appear, and it was the Rain Saint of Xihua Sacred Mountain who welcomed the saints.
Presumably, the masters of the two holy lands were now preparing for the upcoming ceremony.
Today's lineup was extremely strong, many times stronger than the Nine State Forum held by Xihua Sacred Mountain. Many top figures had come in person to give face.
Liu Zong and Zhou Ziyi were only juniors, and they should not have such influence.
At this time, there was another group of cultivators coming from the void in the distance. They did not enter the Sacred Mountain on foot, but directly flew into the air. But after seeing who it was, no one said anything.
As long as it was ranked higher than Saint Xihua on the Saint Ranking, if they wanted to fly into Xihua Sacred Mountain, no one could say anything. Strength represented status.
Moreover, the person who came at this moment was Saint Xia. Many people regarded Saint Xia as the leader of the holy lands of the Nine States, and he was truly respected.
"Saint Xia actually came in person." Many people were a little surprised. The people of Nine State College had arrived before, but Saint Li did not appear. No one would say anything, because Saint Li's identity was there.
But now, Saint Xia had come in person. Did Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty have that much face?
Everyone stood up one after another. Even the Saints stood up. In an instant, many people at the vast banquet stood up and clasped their hands towards Saint Xia, "Saint Xia."
The Rain Saint of Xihua Sacred Mountain stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Xihua Sacred Mountain is honored that Saint Xia has come in person."
"There is no need for this. Today, I just came to ask for a cup of wine. Sit," Saint Xia said with a wave of his hand. He landed on the ground, and everyone took their seats.
"Saint Xia, please." The Rain Saint greeted Saint Xia personally and led him to the seat of honor at the front. Saint Xia and the people of the Xia family sat down calmly.
"Go ahead and do what you need. Don't worry about me," Saint Xia said to the Rain Saint.
"Very well, Saint Xia, if you have any instructions, you can find me directly." The Rain Saint bowed and retreated.
At this time, Ye Futian was a little surprised. Saint Xia's status in the Nine States had been felt at Saint Xia's birthday banquet. He was vaguely the first person in the Nine States, and even had some relationship with the Upper Worlds. Xia Qingyuan had come to the Nine States to find Saint Xia.
It was rumored in the Nine States that Saint Xia came from the bloodline of Emperor Xia. Perhaps there was such a possibility.
Not far away, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the Glass Saint. In reality, the marriage alliance between Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had also put pressure on her as the Lapis Lazuli Holy Temple Lord.
The Nine States had been peaceful for many years, but what had happened in recent years indicated that the Nine States might usher in a period of turmoil.
Ye Futian was very likely to be the catalyst.
After Saint Xia sat down, he looked around at the crowd. Soon, his eyes fell in one direction. Ye Futian, who was sitting at the back, was stunned. He raised his head and looked in Saint Xia's direction. He could clearly feel that Saint Xia was looking at him.
The Glass Saint, who was next to him, also noticed this scene and could not help but look at Ye Futian.
Could it be that Saint Xia still had a problem with Ye Futian because of what happened at the birthday banquet?
But with Saint Xia's status, he shouldn't have done so. After all, in the eyes of a Saint, it was only a small matter.
But it was only for a moment before Saint Xia looked away. But at that moment, a voice sounded in Ye Futian's mind, "Ye Futian."
"Hmm?"
Ye Futian revealed a strange look. Saint Xia had actually transmitted his voice to him.
"Senior." Ye Futian also transmitted his voice in response.
"You are really presumptuous." The voice of Saint Xia seemed to be a little unhappy. Ye Futian frowned and replied, "I don't understand."
"Do you know who the supervising inspector is?" Saint Xia asked.
Ye Futian glanced at Saint Xia. Saint Xia mentioned the supervising inspector at this moment, so he should know what happened in the Upper Worlds.
"I know." Ye Futian naturally admitted it. He had fought his way to the Ninth Layer of Heaven of Jiutian Temple in the Upper Worlds. How could he not know who the supervising inspector was?
What's more, Jieyu and the others knew when they came back.
"Then do you know that the little princess is the most talented of Emperor Xia's many children, and the princess who is the most favored by Emperor Xia?" Saint Xia seemed a little angry.
"I also heard that Xia Qingyuan is the daughter of Emperor Xia and the first beauty of Emperor Xia's Realm. Emperor Xia said that her talent is better than his," Ye Futian said.
"I know that you dared to refuse the little princess a second time." Saint Xia said very unhappily, "Princess Qingyuan may even become the next emperor of Emperor Xia's Realm in the future. In Jiutian Temple, she personally invited you in front of everyone. Do you know what this means? If you just nod, you may be able to follow the little princess and cultivate with her. You may even see Emperor Xia often in the future and have the opportunity to get guidance from him. You actually refused. "
Saint Xia was really angry. Even saints did not have such an opportunity. Ye Futian was at his fingertips, but he refused without hesitation. When Saint Xia heard the news, he really wanted to beat him up.
It was not easy for the Nine States to produce such a character.
The stronger the Nine States were, the more attention Emperor Xia would pay to the Nine States.
Ye Futian was good, and it was said that he refused without hesitation.
Ye Futian was speechless for a while, but he was not angry. Saint Xia's tone seemed angry, but in fact, he felt pity.
But he did not respond. Could it be that he was very unhappy with Xia Qingyuan because of Ye Wuchen? Or did he think that Xia Qingyuan was not qualified for him to follow?
After all, Xia Qingyuan was only of the same generation as him.
Of course, he could not say this to Saint Xia.
But Saint Xia seemed to know what he was thinking and continued, "I know that you think highly of yourself. Being able to break through the Ninth Layer of Heaven, of course, you have the right to be proud. You refused to go to the trial, and now it seems that it is nothing. But no matter how proud you are, don't forget where you are cultivating now. The Nine States, the land of Emperor Xia's orthodoxy. If you agree to follow the little princess to cultivate, so what if Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty are united by marriage?
"But now? If they know that you climbed the Sky Stairwell, fought your way to the Ninth Layer of Heaven, and refused the little princess, I am afraid they will want to eradicate you as soon as possible to avoid future trouble.
Ye Futian heard Saint Xia's voice transmission and felt ashamed. He also understood why Saint Xia chose to speak to him through voice transmission. These words were naturally not said in public.
If he did not know that he had climbed the Sky Stairwell and fought his way to the Ninth Layer of Heaven, Saint Xia would not have said so much to him.
After all, Saint Xia's identity was there.
He also knew that what Saint Xia said was right. Even if he thought highly of himself, in the land of Emperor Xia's orthodoxy, following Xia Qingyuan was, of course, an extremely advantageous choice.
But cultivators all had their own personalities, and they did not only consider the pros and cons. Given his personality, asking him to follow Xia Qingyuan to cultivate and ask her to protect him was something that he could not do no matter what. He would not even think about it.
Perhaps it could also be said that this was a shortcoming.
As for some of the saints in the Nine States, if they knew of this news, they would indeed want to kill him as soon as possible, especially the Great Zhou Sacred King.
The higher his talent, the greater the threat, of course, and of course, he had to be eradicated as soon as possible.
Therefore, if Saint Xia made the news of the Upper Worlds public, it would only be disadvantageous to him. Obviously, Saint Xia still had him in mind.
"Senior, there is no point in saying this now." Ye Futian's voice came with a bit of a wry smile. Saint Xia scolded him through voice transmission, and he could not refute anything. After all, Saint Xia had no malice.
"If you are willing to change your mind and bow your head, I can help you contact the little princess, and there will be a chance," Saint Xia said again.
Ye Futian was speechless. Asking him to beg Xia Qingyuan to follow her in cultivation? If it was beneficial to the Barren State, perhaps he could consider becoming a concubine.
Thinking of dressing as a man but having a cold and arrogant face that was more beautiful than a woman, Ye Futian wondered how he could have such evil thoughts.
"Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but, forget it …" Ye Futian responded with a wry smile.
"You are really stubborn," Saint Xia said hatefully. "You are on your own."
As he said this, he did not send another voice transmission to Ye Futian.
In fact, Saint Xia also guessed that Ye Futian would not agree. After all, a person who could break through the Ninth Layer of Heaven of Jiutian Temple naturally had his own pride.
What really shocked Saint Xia was that Yu Sheng and Gu Dongliu had also followed Ye Futian and broken through the Ninth Layer of Heaven.
It seemed that the future potential of the Barren State was indeed somewhat terrifying.
In the future, they might become figures like the Sword Saint of the Void or the Great Shaman.
Beside Ye Futian, the Glass Saint had sensed that Saint Xia was looking at her. To be more specific, he was looking at Ye Futian. After that, Ye Futian's eyes were full of expressions. Was he communicating with Saint Xia telepathically?
She was paying attention and naturally observed Ye Futian's expression very carefully.
"Saint Xia, looking for you?" The Glass Saint whispered to Ye Futian, a little curious.
If Saint Xia had really just arrived and sent a voice transmission to Ye Futian, then was there a reason for his trip?
Ye Futian looked at the Glass Saint and nodded gently.
The Glass Saint smiled faintly, dazzlingly beautiful, and continued to ask with a smile, "What business does Saint Xia have with you?"
Saint Xia deliberately communicated with Ye Futian through voice transmission. It was probably not an ordinary matter, otherwise there would be no need to do so.
Ye Futian saw the Glass Saint's stunning face and thought to himself that she was indeed the first beauty of the Eastern State. When she smiled, there seemed to be a strange magic about her, making it impossible to refuse her questions.
"Because of the trial for the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State, I went to the Upper Worlds and caused some trouble. Saint Xia is looking for me because of this." Ye Futian said to the Glass Saint, "But I hope you will keep it a secret for me."
Naturally, he was not tempted by the Glass Saint's appearance. It was just that the Glass Saint had always maintained a friendly relationship with him. Under such circumstances, even if she knew of his extraordinary talent, she would not have any malice and might even help him. For him, this was not a bad thing.
Hearing Ye Futian's words, a strange look flashed in the Glass Saint's beautiful eyes. Ye Futian's casual words contained too much information.
He did not participate in the trial but went to the Upper Worlds, which meant that he had climbed the Sky Stairwell.
Moreover, he must have caused a lot of trouble in the Upper Worlds to attract the attention of Saint Xia.
Thinking of what Ji Mo had said before, the Glass Saint wondered what Ye Futian had done in the Upper Worlds.
