Chapter 136: Much Better-behaved
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lin Xiyue's pretty eyes focused on Ye Futian . From the close distance, she could see that he'd matured a lot since their first meeting on the ship in the East Sea . He'd become even more handsome and was no longer the youth from before .
"Yes, I'm cultivating at Donghai Academy . You aren't mad, are you?" Lin Xiyue asked with a smile .
"Why would I be mad?" Ye Futian shook his head . He wasn't that close-minded . He would remember the people from the School of the Emperor Star but the conflict had nothing to do with Donghai Academy, let alone a regular disciple from that academy .
"You still didn't tell me why you're here . Is there something wrong?" Ye Futian asked .
"Can't I come to see a friend?" Lin Xiyue smiled gently .
Seeing her like that, Ye Futian smiled and nodded . "Of course . "
"There's nothing much," Lin Xiyue said . "I just saw you at the Tingfeng Banquet and wanted to come see you . I was worried for you after what happened at Donghai City . I can't believe you found your place in the Cangye Kingdom so quickly and are even appreciated by the emperor . I worried for nothing . " She was natural and poised .
"Thanks," Ye Futian said, chuckling . "Did you hear about Yi Xiang, headmaster of the School of the Finance Star, in Donghai City?"
Lin Xiyue smiled . "Don't worry, Senior Yi should be fine . I asked my father about him . He was hurt after helping you delay the strong cultivators that day but retreated safely . He wasn't Minister Hua's main target and there wasn't any news afterward so I'm sure he's fine . "
Ye Futian was reassured . He knew the old fox wouldn't run into trouble so easily .
"Alright, I said hi to you and now I'm leaving . " Lin Xiyue gave a small smile .
Ye Futian nodded . "Go back safely . "
"Okay . " Lin Xiyue nodded lightly and turned to leave . Ye Futian watched her receding backside and then walked toward the pavilion .
Yu Sheng walked beside him and muttered, "How many girls are you gonna ruin?"
"It's not my fault I'm attractive . " Ye Futian laughed and glanced at his friend with a smug expression as if saying, Do you see the difference between us?
Yu Sheng rolled his eyes and strode off . He didn't want to give Ye Futian the chance to be cocky .
Ye Futian blinked and stared at Yu Sheng's back . This wasn't right . Shouldn't he be the one to walk away proudly?
"You've turned bad," Ye Futian muttered . When he returned to the courtyard, he practiced the guqin to raise his spiritual power rather than rest . Ever since he began cultivating, his experiences and changes in his mind made him desire more and more to advance in planes . Back in Qingzhou City, his godfather's expectations for him to become emperor had seemed like a fantasy . Now, he was truly working toward it .
Time passed bit by bit . Late at night, Ye Futian was still playing . Many emotions seemed to be hidden in the song . Returning to the Nandou Nation, his home country, this time, his identity had changed . He had come with Emperor Ye to attend the banquet . Everything was like a dream .
As the music streamed into the silent air, there was a violent surge of Spiritual Qi in the air . They rushed into Ye Futian's body but he didn't seem to feel anything . He continued playing and the melody gradually rose from the low tone . There was a feeling of throwing the past behind . The Spiritual Qi grew more furious, dancing with the song . This persisted for a long while . When the last note sounded, there was sudden silence and the Spiritual Qi was sucked into his body .
His eyes flew open, sparkling . Then Ye Futian smiled . He'd had a breakthrough and entered the Eight-star Glory Plane . After the breakthrough, he still didn't rest and continued to cultivate his martial arts . The strengthening of his Spiritual Energy could raise his tenacity and was also helpful in cultivating martial arts .
Wind came from his punches . Ye Futian activated the Imperial Tactics and the blood inside him seemed to rumble . He seemed to have the emperor's intent; after the Spiritual Energy breakthrough, his martial arts cultivation was smoother too . His body was constantly changing .
When the first sliver of light appeared at the horizon, shining onto Ye Futian, he raised his head and roared . He punched forward and there was an explosion . The air seemed to tremble . An incomparable power burst from his body . Shadows of dragons and rocs were released from his fist . A terrifying apparition of the Ape seemed to appear on him . He was covered entirely with the will of the martial arts . His strength was to the extreme .
"Martial arts breakthrough . " Ye Futian smiled . He had broken through in both sorcery and martial arts in one night .
Ye Futian gathered his aura and stopped cultivating . Afterward, he went to wash up and the sky lightened gradually . Today would be the second day of the Tingfeng Banquet . Countless people gathered toward the South Gate of the palace in the Imperial City .
Ye Futian traveled with Emperor Ye's group today . On the way there, Emperor Ye called Ye Futian over .
"Yesterday in the palace, Emperor Luo asked me for you again," Emperor Ye said . Hearing this, Ye Futian was very calm . If Emperor Ye wanted to hand him over, he would've done so long ago . Even if Emperor Ye didn't think highly of him, the two nations were rivals . If Emperor Luo asked him for Ye Futian, he definitely wouldn't agree . How would the world see him then?
"He knew it was impossible but he still mentioned it . In addition, I could feel his confidence in his voice . It's as if something will happen at the Tingfeng Banquet," Emperor Ye continued .
Ye Futian furrowed his brows . Even without him, it was a bit odd that Emperor Luo would invite the emperors of the three nations to watch .
"Are there possibilities that Emperor Luo forged alliances with Yunchu Nation and the Yan Kingdom?" Ye Futian asked softly .
"Impossible . " Emperor Ye shook his head . "The four nations have a profound relationship . There's no reason for them to ally with him . " Though they had constant conflicts, the countries still had their bottom lines . The emperors wouldn't take action against each other for no reason unless something truly big caused a war . A war between the emperors was not a trivial matter . Once it went full-out, no one could withstand it .
"Guessing is probably useless . Let's wait and see just how emboldened Emperor Luo is . " Emperor Ye smiled and shook his head .
The group gradually arrived at the location of the Tingfeng Banquet . At the moment, it had already been drowned by the endless crowd . However, when they saw Emperor Ye's group, the people in the sky all opened up a path .
Many studied Emperor Ye from the close distance . They didn't know how strong the ruler of the Cangye Kingdom was . If the four emperors fought, it would definitely be spectacular but they knew this was quite impossible .
"Those girls are so pretty . " Someone saw Lin Yueyao and the others behind the emperor . They looked like fairies and many people gasped involuntarily .
"That's Ye Futian . He's from the East Prefecture of our country but he betrayed us and went to the Cangye Kingdom . I heard he's extremely talented," someone whispered, pointing at Ye Futian . Yesterday, the three emperors had come to watch and many people asked about the people they brought . They'd also heard some news .
The people from the Yunchu Nation and Yan Kingdom had already arrived . When Emperor Ye's group came, Chu Kuangren, Yan Qi, and many others gazed at Ye Futian . Yesterday, the number one talent of Cangye's Fenghua Rank had stayed away from battle but was still memorable .
Emperor Luo had come too . The four emperors were all present and the Tingfeng Banquet began again .
"Yesterday, Junlin invited everyone . Did the prides of all the nations interact with each other?" Emperor Luo asked with a smile . The other emperors looked a bit curious . They didn't specifically ask about what happened yesterday .
"We battled with some from the Fenghua Rank," Chu Kuangren said . "Just as we'd predicted, those in the Dharma Rank who can be defeated by the Glory Plane really aren't much . After all, the Cangye Kingdom's Fenghua Banquet is once every three years . It's already impressive like this . " Anyone could tell the arrogance in his calm voice .
Bai Qiu and Yu Jiang's faces darkened again . They cursed him mentally for bringing this up .
"The Yan Kingdom seemed to have lost too," Bai Qiu said coldly .
"All I can say is that the top three of the Fenghua Rank have some skills," Yan Qi said coolly . Yan Zhan had lost to Yu Sheng, who was number three of the Fenghua Rank .
"Ye Wuchen is the strongest of the Cangye Kingdom's Fenghua Rank but we don't have to rush the duel with him . Let's watch and see what kind of talent can be born from this year's Tingfeng Banquet," Chu Kuangren said .
"What about the first place of the Fenghua Rank?" Emperor Luo asked with a smile . He seemed to not know Ye Futian . Of course, he really didn't know Ye Futian . Their first meeting was at this Tingfeng Banquet .
"The first place of the Fenghua Rank?" Chu Kuangren chuckled dryly . "I don't know if he's really arrogant or is just using it as an excuse to avoid fighting and hide something . "
Chu Kuangren hinted that Ye Futian was pretending to be arrogant in order to avoid fighting . If he didn't fight, no one would know what his abilities really were like . He had proved himself at the Fenghua Banquet but only the Cangye Kingdom had witnessed that . There were top talents from every nation here . Who would think that they weren't as good as the others?
Many gazes fell upon Ye Futian, including Lin Yueyao and Bai Qiu . Chu Kuangren seemed to have been provoking him since last night . Would he still be unmoving?
Ye Futian continued to sit there, gazing at the battles on the nine battle platforms . He ignored Chu Kuangren's provocation .
Everyone was speechless . This guy…
"Don't you have anything to say?" Chu Kuangren asked, looking at Ye Futian .
Seeing how insistent he was, Ye Futian finally spared him a glance—just one glance . Then he continued watching the battles, unbothered .
Everyone blanched . Were the battles really that interesting?
Many followed his gaze and saw that Zhou Mu from Donghai Academy was fighting on the Seven-star Glory Plane platform .
"His name is Zhou Mu . He used to be really arrogant," Ye Futian suddenly said as he watched him . Hearing this, everyone looked back . Ye Futian smiled and continued, "He became much better-behaved after getting wiped out by a staff . "
