Nandou Wenshan looked at Ye Futian. The guy before him was talented but he was too confident to say he had an emperor's fate.
But there was one thing he didn't doubt. Minister Zuo must have really predicted Ye Futian's fate when he gave him the decree. He must be extraordinary.
Nandou Wenshan looked at the handsome figure before him and said, "No matter what, don't go to the Nandou clan tomorrow. If it's really as you said and Minister Zuo didn't tell His Majesty, then His Majesty sending Minister Hua means something. If you disobey, Minister Hua will definitely harm you."
"Uncle, if I have an emperor's fate and don't care about what happened in the past, will the Nandou clan support me?" Ye Futian didn't reply to Nandou Wenshan but looked at him. The Nandou clan was the royal family of the previous dynasty. They had deep roots in the City of Donghai. If they could give up everything in the Nandou Nation, they might be able to change the situation and fight with Minister Hua.
"This guy." Nandou Wenshan looked at Ye Futian. It seemed that he was confused.
This was His Majesty's decree. Minister Hua had come to make the crown princess. Ye Futian was only 17. Even if he was talented, it didn't mean anything. Was the crown prince not talented enough? There was no need to choose.
How could Ye Futian prove he had an emperor's fate?
"Think carefully. Don't be stupid. Do you want to tell Jieyu to persuade her? I'm afraid she'll do something stupid," Nandou Wenshan said.
"Uncle, tell that stupid woman not to do anything stupid. Wait for me. Minister Zuo is right. She's fated to be the empress," Ye Futian said to Nandou Wenshan. The reason why he could be so sure that Minister Zuo had predicted his fate was because his godfather and Emperor Ye Qing had both said something similar. "You're right," Nandou Wenshan replied.
"Okay." Nandou Wenshan sighed. He glanced at Hua Fengliu but didn't say anything. He turned and left.
Everything was getting better and the clan leader had agreed to let Ye Futian and Hua Fengliu go to the Nandou clan. However, something happened. A decree broke everything.
In the Guqin Gardens, many people stood behind Ye Futian. They didn't know what to say and couldn't persuade him. The atmosphere was tense.
Ye Futian turned and saw many eyes on him. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Why is everyone looking at me? It's getting dark. Let's rest early."
"Teacher, let's go back." Ye Futian carried Hua Fengliu to his courtyard. Yi Xiang looked at the two of them and sighed inwardly. He had planned to send this group of talented young people to the Imperial City tomorrow to participate in the Tingfeng Banquet. With Ye Futian and Yu Sheng's talent, they would definitely surpass the others. With Minister Zuo's help, their future should be smooth and they would become heroes of the Nandou Nation.
However, this decree completely shattered everything. Minister Zuo's expectations, their plans, and just now, Ye Futian had called the emperor of the Nandou Nation an idiot king. One could imagine how he felt. Though he was only 17 years old, he had the ambition of a Kunpeng. In his eyes, there was no king at all.
Study Attendant of the Crown Prince? In a few more years, he would probably be even more outstanding than the Crown Prince. Now, the only thing he was worried about was the premature death of the youth.
Just as Ye Futian had guessed, even though Yi Xiang only took Yu Sheng as a disciple, he still treated him as one. It was just that he treated the two of them differently. Otherwise, he would not have helped Ye Futian so much.
…
Under the night sky, the sound of a zither could be heard in the courtyard.
Ye Futian sat in the courtyard and played the zither. The breeze was cool and it seemed a bit cold. But what was colder was Ye Futian's heart.
Ye Futian closed his eyes and played the zither. At this moment, he thought of many beautiful memories. In his mind, a beautiful face slowly appeared. She was so beautiful and playful.
When they were 12, they met for the first time. The 12-year-old girl was already stunning. He said that if she was so beautiful at 12, she would definitely grow up to be a demon.
When they were 15, they met again in Qingzhou Academy. The girl purposely lied to everyone and caused misunderstandings. She attracted endless hatred for him. After that, he stayed at his master's place to cultivate. They spent a few months together, playing and joking. Now that he thought about it, it seemed like they were flirting. A warm smile gradually appeared on his face.
Then, the girl came to the Ye Manor and stunned everyone there. Then, the two of them held hands by Qingzhou Lake on New Year's Eve and then separated.
Then, something happened in Qingzhou City. He crossed the East Sea and went to Donghai Academy. He caused a big commotion and let her know he was here. They met again in the Guqin Gardens and the girl hugged him gently.
The two of them were clearly in love but didn't dare to make it public. Until the School of the Emperor Star became suspicious and Mu Yunxuan spread rumors, he stepped into the School of the Emperor Star. That kiss sealed their love. Then, they blocked the door and fought. They held hands and smiled into the future.
In the School of the Finance Star, the two of them slept in each other's arms. The girl was shy but didn't stop him. He knew that she was willing to give everything to him. He swore in his heart that he would marry her.
But no one would have thought that fate would play tricks on people. A decree from the Imperial City was so ruthless and wanted to destroy everything.
The sound of the zither went from warm to sweet. It seemed to contain extremely deep emotions. Then, it gradually became oppressive, manic, and sharp. It wanted to split everything in the world.
With a clang, the string broke and the music stopped.
Ye Futian opened his eyes and looked at the broken string. His eyes were still sharp.
Raising his head, Ye Futian saw an old man holding a broom under the moonlight. The hostility in his eyes disappeared. Ye Futian looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa Yu, it's so late. Why aren't you resting?"
"I was attracted by Young Master Ye's music." The old man smiled. "Young Master Ye's music is a bit messy today. Did something happen?"
Ye Futian looked at the old man in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity. "Grandpa Yu, someone wants to steal the woman I love."
"Since it's Young Master Ye's woman, why would someone dare to steal her?" the old man asked in confusion.
"It's the king of the Nandou Nation. He issued a decree to make my beloved the Crown Princess," Ye Futian said. "Grandpa Yu, what do you think I should do?"
"Since she's your woman, so what if he's the king? Of course, you have to take her back," Uncle Yu said naturally. Uncle Yu said very naturally. Hearing his calm words, Ye Futian's eyes narrowed. Although the old man's eyes were cloudy, there seemed to be a sense of certainty in his eyes. Ye Futian smiled brightly and said, "Grandpa Yu is right, I understand."
"Young Master Ye, rest early. I'll go now." The old man left with his back hunched. Looking at his back, Ye Futian's smiling eyes became more determined.
The night was as dark as water. Ye Futian did not sleep. Late at night, a Black Wind Eagle landed silently in the courtyard.
Ye Futian walked onto the Black Wind Eagle. Wind appeared and the Black Wind Eagle spread its wings and flew.
However, as soon as the Black Wind Condor rose into the air, a figure appeared in the air and blocked its way. It was Yi Xiang.
"Where are you sneaking off to in the middle of the night? Are you a thief? " A cold voice came from behind him. Ye Futian turned around and saw Tang Lan standing there.
"Senior Yi, Auntie Tang." Ye Futian smiled bitterly. So, no one had slept. They were watching over him.
Below, figures appeared one after another. Yu Sheng, Yi Qingxuan, Tang Wan, and the others were all there. They looked up at him as if guessing that he would slip away alone.
"If there's anything, we'll talk after tonight," Yi Xiang said coldly to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian knew he could not leave and could only nod. The Black Wind Eagle landed and Ye Futian returned to his room to rest. The others watched him but did not leave. They sat in the courtyard and watched over him.
…
The last day of year 10000 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar.
Early in the morning, Ye Futian walked out of his room to the courtyard. Seeing the figures sitting there, he felt warmth in his heart. These people were his family.
"Master, why are you up so early?" Ye Futian walked to Hua Fengliu who was sitting on the bench.
"Aren't we going to the Nandou Clan to see your masteress and Jieyu? I'm a little excited so I have to wake up early," Hua Fengliu said with a smile.
"You're not allowed to go," Tang Lan said, glaring at Hua Fengliu.
"Aunt Tang is right. Master, it's not convenient for you. Don't go today. I'll bring the masteress and Jieyu to the Guqin Gardens," Ye Futian said.
"If you dare to leave me behind today, don't call me your master anymore," Hua Fengliu said, staring at Ye Futian.
"Fine, I won't. Do you think I care about you?" Ye Futian replied.
Hearing the master and disciple bickering, everyone felt sour inside. It was not a good feeling.
Hua Fengliu stared at Ye Futian and said, "Try it."
"Aunt Tang, help me take care of him. He's already like this but is still so narcissistic," Ye Futian said to Tang Lan. He seemed to be cruel.
"Are you really going?" Yi Xiang asked Ye Futian.
Ye Futian nodded. He had no choice. If he did not go, that silly woman could do anything.
No matter what the outcome was, he had to try. Otherwise, he would not be satisfied.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? I'm destined to be an emperor. My life is very tough. I won't die so easily. I still have to bring the masteress and the fox back," Ye Futian said with a smile.
Yu Sheng followed behind him. Yi Qingxuan followed behind him.
"What are you doing?" Ye Futian asked Yu Sheng.
"I'm going with you," Yu Sheng said.
"I'm going to see my wife. What are you going to do? Your wife is behind you, "Ye Futian said.
Yu Sheng still stood there.
"Go back!" Ye Futian shouted.
Yu Sheng did not move.
"Yu Sheng, come back." Yi Xiang looked at his disciple. Yu Sheng turned back to Yi Xiang.
"I'll go with him," Yi Xiang said. Yu Sheng's eyes were red. He clenched his fists.
Ye Futian looked up at Yi Xiang and said, "I'm not your disciple. What are you going to do?"
"You idiot," Yi Xiang looked at him coldly.
Ye Futian was stunned. He looked at Yi Xiang and smiled. "You're the real idiot."
With that, he walked out. Yi Xiang followed. He did not forget to glare at Yu Sheng and Yi Qingxuan. "Behave. Tang Lan, watch them for me."
