Ye Futian looked at Yue Lingshuang with some surprise. How could he not see the faint affection in the beautiful eyes of this woman, who had a beauty that could captivate even birds and beasts?
Moreover, Yue Lingshuang did understand his past. She was obviously a thoughtful woman.
However, the two of them had only met a few times, and the first time they had met was because of Yue Jiangliu's suggestion. Ye Futian naturally could not have any feelings for her. Using the power of the Yue Clan in this way was not what he wanted. If it was just a show, and then after using the power of the Yue Clan, he would burn the bridge after crossing it.
Even if Yue Lingshuang said she did not mind, how unfair it would be to her. They had already married. Who would believe it if they said it was just a show?
Wouldn't others spread rumors that Yue Lingshuang had been kicked out because she was disliked?
So once the marriage was established, it would be too hypocritical to say it was a show. They could only take Yue Lingshuang as a concubine. But purely for the interests of the Holy Zhi Palace, it was still somewhat unfair to Yue Lingshuang.
But it would be hypocritical to say that he was not shaken at all. He knew better than anyone the situation the Holy Zhi Palace was facing now. It could be said that it was precarious, and the slightest carelessness would lead to eternal damnation. Facing Xihua Sacred Mountain, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, and Saint Zhi, there were six Saints. How could the Village Chief and the Master contend? They could only keep avoiding them.
He did not know how many years it would take for him to step into the Saint Plane.
Therefore, this marriage was not about himself, but the interests of the Holy Zhi Palace and the lives and deaths of many people. Naturally, he could not be indifferent.
If the Yue Clan agreed to join, Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty would be afraid and would not dare to act rashly.
Seeing Ye Futian's expression, Yue Lingshuang lowered her head slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. Obviously, she understood that Ye Futian did not like her at all, but she quickly restrained this emotion. After all, although her appearance was outstanding, she was not devastatingly beautiful. At least, she was inferior to Ye Futian's wife. How could a peerless figure in the Nine States like him easily have a good impression of her? After all, she was not the chosen one. Even in the Yue Clan, she was not the best.
And knowing of Ye Futian's legendary experience, he was indeed the chosen one. It was as if he was destined to be extraordinary. Even among the countless heroes of the Nine States, he was still able to stand out.
She raised her head and looked at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes. She smiled sweetly and said, "I already know Palace Lord Ye's intentions. I just happened to be traveling. Can I spend some time in the Holy Zhi Palace?"
"Of course." Ye Futian saw that Yue Lingshuang had changed the subject, so he didn't think about it anymore. He smiled and nodded.
"Then I'll let my family go back first." Yue Lingshuang turned around and left. The two of them returned to the Holy Sage Pavilion, and Yue Lingshuang asked the cultivators of the Yue Clan to leave. This caused a strange look to flash in the eyes of the people of the Yue Clan. What did Miss Lingshuang mean by staying in the Holy Zhi Palace?
I'll go back and report to the clan first.
Ye Futian had arranged a place for Yue Lingshuang to stay in the Holy Sage Pavilion. For Yue Lingshuang, several elders of the Holy Zhi Palace came to look for Ye Futian. This guy, a beauty had voluntarily thrown herself into his arms, and he was indifferent.
However, only their romantic palace lord had such charm. Thinking about it, it seemed that Ye Futian had never been short of beauties around him. Yun Shang, the daughter of the Ice Temple, Phoenix, the heir of the Undying Old Man, Mu Zhiqiu of the Zhaixing House, and even the maids were extremely rare beauties. There was also the slender and elegant Long Ling 'er who liked to act coquettishly.
The last time he went out to train, he had also brought back two beauties. He could really be called a playboy.
At this time, in the attic of the Holy Sage Pavilion, a beautiful woman was leaning against the wall, looking at the scenery in the distance. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Hua Jieyu turned her head and smiled at Ye Futian. She said, "Have I let down a beauty again?"
Ye Futian shrugged and walked up to Hua Jieyu. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and stretched his head over her shoulder. He whispered, "You've disappointed many people along the way, haven't you?"
When he was cultivating in the Divine Sky City, he naturally knew that Gu Yunxi was interested in him. He also knew that Loulan Xue was by his side. He knew that it was the hardest to let down a beauty.
Hua Jieyu tilted her face slightly. Ye Futian seemed to be able to feel her breath. That beautiful face was so close to him, and it was intoxicating.
"You weren't like this in Qingzhou Academy." Hua Jieyu smiled softly. "At that time, didn't you like to take advantage of Senior Qin Yi?"
"Jieyu, you still remember things that happened so many years ago." Ye Futian was speechless. When they started cultivating in Qingzhou Academy, they were only 15 years old. At that time, he had no idea about relationships. Qin Yi was the dream lover of many students in the academy. Being in his youth, it was only natural for him to have feelings for the sexy, beautiful, and kind senior.
"Hmph, I remember it clearly," Hua Jieyu said with a smile.
"Ah, what a pity. Later, I was fascinated by a fox. One mistake can cause everlasting sorrow." Ye Futian sighed.
Hua Jieyu stepped on his foot. Her smiling eyes revealed her intoxicating beauty. She said softly, "Is that fox so charming?"
"Of course, I'm going to eat her now." As he said this, Ye Futian lowered his head slightly and kissed those intoxicating red lips. Although the fox was charming, she could not escape his palm.
Holding that intoxicating body, he turned and entered the room. It was a moment of passion.
…
Yue Lingshuang stayed in the Holy Sage Pavilion. Many people thought that the Palace Lord's wife would be dissatisfied. However, the people of the Holy Zhi Palace often saw Hua Jieyu and Yue Lingshuang appear together in the Holy Zhi Palace. They talked and laughed, and their relationship was as close as sisters.
This made the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace worship Ye Futian even more. They secretly thought that the Palace Lord was amazing. He was simply a model for men.
A fairy-like woman like the Palace Lord did not mind the existence of other women, and could even fight side by side with the Palace Lord. She was simply perfect.
However, on this day, a group of mighty ones from the Holy Zhi Palace descended upon the Holy Zhi Palace.
They were from the Yue Clan of the Summer State. Ye Futian came out to greet them. Yue Lingshuang also came. This time, it was Yue Jiangliu.
"Palace Lord Ye, Lingshuang," Yue Jiangliu called out to the two of them.
"Senior, how do you have time to come to the Holy Zhi Palace?" Ye Futian asked. He seemed to feel that something was wrong. Yue Jiangliu and the others looked very serious.
"Lingshuang, where did your uncle and the people who escorted you to the Holy Zhi Palace go?" Yue Jiangliu asked Yue Lingshuang.
"After I arrived at the Holy Zhi Palace that day, I let my uncle and the others go home first. What happened?" Yue Lingshuang also realized something and asked.
"Your uncle and the others were killed," Yue Jiangliu said. Yue Lingshuang's expression changed instantly. Ye Futian's eyes also froze.
The people of the Yue Clan had been killed after leaving the Holy Zhi Palace?
This … who could have done it?
"How could this be?" Yue Lingshuang's face was pale, and she felt a little guilty. Had her coming to the Holy Zhi Palace caused the deaths of her uncle and the others? If she had gone with them that day, wouldn't she have been killed too?
"Senior, do you have any clues?" Ye Futian asked.
Yue Jiangliu shook his head, then asked Yue Lingshuang some more questions. He speculated that the people of the Yue Clan had died on the day they left the Holy Zhi Palace, and not long after that. Obviously, they had been assassinated in the Barren State, or even in Zhongzhou City.
The Barren State was the territory of the Holy Zhi Palace, but the Holy Zhi Palace obviously couldn't kill the people of the Yue Clan. The two sides had a good relationship, so Ye Futian had no reason to do so. Otherwise, Yue Jiangliu and the others would not have been so polite when they came to the Holy Zhi Palace. Obviously, they knew that the Holy Zhi Palace couldn't have done this.
"Palace Lord Ye, do any top forces in the Barren State hate the Holy Zhi Palace?" Yue Jiangliu asked.
"Probably not. Even if there are people who hate the Holy Zhi Palace, they wouldn't dare to do this." Ye Futian shook his head. "With the current situation, the Holy Zhi Palace must be watched by countless eyes. The people of Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty probably have many spies in Zhongzhou City, but if it was done by them, there doesn't seem to be a good reason."
"Perhaps they saw that the Yue Clan intended to unite by marriage with Palace Lord Ye, so they sent people to assassinate us, intending to kill Lingshuang? But Lingshuang wasn't there, so they killed the others? "Yue Jiangliu speculated.
"I can't rule out this possibility." Ye Futian also looked thoughtful. But if it really was done by people of Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, once it was found out, wouldn't it force the Yue Clan and the Holy Zhi Palace to join forces and offend a powerful enemy?
So he couldn't be sure.
The death of the cultivators of the Yue Clan was a bit strange.
"Could it be done by Saint Zhi?" After the battle at Zhisheng Cliffs, Saint Zhi must have hated the Holy Zhi Palace to the core, and Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had been unwilling to act. Saint Zhi must have been extremely dissatisfied with this, so he had secretly incited the Yue clan to get involved.
"I'm not sure." Ye Futian shook his head. This matter was a bit confusing.
Could it be that because of the Sacred War and Emperor Xia's order, it had drawn out the hidden forces of holy lands?
If it was not done by Xihua Sacred Mountain, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, and Saint Zhi, then this matter was even more complicated. There must be other holy lands behind this.
If so, what was their purpose?
"Can the people of the Yue Clan enter the Holy Zhi Palace and investigate this matter in the Barren State?" Yue Jiangliu asked Ye Futian.
"Of course, I will cooperate with you and mobilize the power of the Holy Zhi Palace to investigate this matter," said Ye Futian. The people of the Yue Clan were killed after leaving the Holy Zhi Palace, and it was in Zhongzhou City, which was his territory, so he was also responsible.
"Thank you, Palace Lord Ye." Yue Jiangliu bowed slightly, then looked at Yue Lingshuang and asked, "Lingshuang, are you doing well in the Holy Zhi Palace?"
"Yes, Palace Lord Ye and Madam have taken very good care of me." Yue Lingshuang nodded.
"That's good." Yue Jiangliu finally smiled, and Yue Lingshuang looked at Ye Futian. Ye Futian sighed inwardly. Yue Lingshuang's decision to stay in the Holy Zhi Palace was actually to help him, to create a false impression for the people of the Nine States.
The Yue Clan mobilized people from their families and entered the Holy Zhi Palace to investigate the killing of the cultivators of the Yue Clan.
This matter quickly attracted the attention of all the holy lands of the Nine States. It was unusual that the people of the Yue Clan had been assassinated.
In the land of the Nine States, in addition to the Sacred War on the surface, there seemed to be undercurrents surging!
