    Countless gazes fell on Ye Futian’s back. Even if he was from a top force, he was being too disrespectful by calling the Qin Dynasty “lowly” in public, right?


    Thinking of what had happened at Chaoge City, they were close to figuring out this youth’s identity. In the Eastern Barren Territory, only disciples from one ce could be so arrogant and think that the Qin Dynasty didn’t qualify to bepared to them. It was the Cottage, of course. And other than Ye Futian, which other young disciple came down from the mountain?


    “I didn’t think I would be able to meet the eighth disciple of the Cottage while drinking here today,” someone said, putting their hands up to greet him.


    “The Cottage and Qin Dynasty has always been at odds. Mr. Ye is exaggerating a bit by calling all of the Qin Dynasty as lowly,” someone else said. “When Qin Yuan entered the imperial city, he was extremely mannered and visited the lords. Many lords had great impressions of him and praised him. How can he be lowly?” His voice was calm. Since he knew who Ye Futian was, he wouldn’t be too impolite. He just wanted to hear Ye Futian exin hisment on the Qin Dynasty. Did he like Princess Liu Chenyu too?


    “Qin Mengruo of the Qin Dynasty has married below her rank to the Donghua n,” Ye Futian said indifferently. “Qin Li, the grandson of the emperor, is also pursuing Chu Yaoyao. Now, Qin Yuan is proposing to the Liu Kingdom. Do they want to have marriage alliances with all of the Eastern Barren Territory?


    “Qin Yuan does not know Liu Chenyu at all but made such amotion. Has anyone thought of how Liu Chenyu will feel? Entering the imperial city and visiting the lords... Is he preparing for when hees to live in the Liu Kingdom?” Ye Futian’s voice turned cold. “If these actions aren’t lowly, then how would you describe them?” With that, he began walking out of the restaurant. Clearly, he was upset with this marriage. He would do his best to destroy it.


    The people who heard him were shocked. Everyone knew how powerful the Qin Dynasty was. Thus, the people of the Liu Kingdom were happy to see the alliance between the two parties. However, they also knew a bit about the Qin Dynasty’s ambition. Hearing Ye Futian’s words, other ideas appeared in their minds. Indeed, the Qin Dynasty was being too active recently, allying with each force. It was clear what they were nning. Of course, they were more shocked by thest sentence.


    Entering the imperial city and visiting the lords... Is he preparing for when hees to live in the Liu Kingdom? This phrase was usatory. Who of the lords Qin Yuan visited would dare to support him now? Were they thinking of betraying?


    The Cottage disciples were indeed extraordinary talented. Their words were sharp as well.


    What happened at the restaurant quickly spread throughout the pce. Many people were shocked that Ye Futian had arrived in the imperial city and publicly disapproved of the marriage. They didn’t know if this was the Cottage’s attitude or Ye Futian’s own.


    Ye Futian had publicly called the Qin Dynasty lowly. He’d offended them and the people wondered how the Qin Dynasty would react.


    Something else was strange. Lord Kang had praised Qin Yuan to be like a dragon. He clearly supported the marriage. But with Ye Futian’s words, he felt ashamed now. The other lords didn’t dare speak up for Qin Yuan anymore. However, this didn’t seem to affect Qin Yuan. News quickly spread that he continued to visit the lords.


    Someone asked him why. Qin Yuan imed that the descendants of the Qin Dynasty were mannered and cultured. When asked about his thoughts on Ye Futian’s words, he said that he wouldn’t speak about someone behind their back. Manyplimented Qin Yuan’s reply for being ssy. Others thought that he was virtually fighting with Ye Futian.


    Ye Futian suspected Qin Yuan’s actions while he just said he was visiting the lords out of politeness. Ye Futian called the Qin Dynasty lowly while Qin Yuan said he wouldn’t speak behind Ye Futian’s back. Many in the Liu Kingdom praised his perfect response. Lord Kang stepped out again, iming that he’d met Qin Yuan, won over by his ssiness. He thought highly of the junior but nothing else. As for thements of lowly people, he didn’t care.


    Ye Futian seemed to have lost in this virtual fight.


    Of course, some also turned up their noses at Qin Yuan’s response. When Ye Futian had only been famous in the Ancient Barren World, Qin Li had publiclymented on him. The Dongqin College hadn’t been established at that time; Ye Futian and the Qin Dynasty hadn’t had any conflicts either. Now that Qin Yuan was iming that he wouldn’t speak about others behind their backs to show the ssiness of the Qin Dynasty, it was a bit not genuine.


    This made people suspect that Ye Futian would also pursue Liu Chenyu. But Ye Futian had a girlfriend who was rumored to be cultivating at the Moon n. If he pursued Liu Chenyu now, would Emperor Liu agree?


    Ye Futian ignored all the talk about him. He’d experienced the fakeness of the Qin Dynasty long ago. After learning that a disciple from the Royal Xuan Temple entered the Dongqin College to cultivate, he began suspecting that the Qin Dynasty had taken part in the assassination at Chaoge City.


    Second Senior Sister had arrived and destroyed the gate of the Dongqin College. Why would the Qin Dynasty swallow everything and cooperate with the Cottage to find the culprit? Were they truly so weak?


    Looking at the entire n, it seemed that the Qin Dynasty was ruling over the entire world already. Qin Yuan had disyed a great demeanor but he’d also learned the pretense of the Qin Dynasty. Of course, Ye Futian didn’t reply indirectly again. There was no need. He’d already expressed his attitude.


    Liu Feiyang came to the inn Ye Futian was staying at.


    “How are things?” Ye Futian asked after seeing Liu Feiyang.


    Furrowing his brows, Liu Feiyang shook his head. He wasn’t clear either.


    “What is Emperor Liu’s attitude?” Ye Futian asked. The one who could truly decide this was still Liu Feiyang’s father.


    “Before Qin Yuan came, the Qin Dynasty already sent a secret ambassador to see my father,” Liu Feiyang said. “He said that Qin Yuan would marry into the Liu Kingdom. No matter what happens in the future, the Liu Kingdom’s status won’t change.”


    Ye Futian’s eyes shed. It turned out that the Qin Dynasty had already nned everything.


    “This proposal carries a lot of weight,” Liu Feiyang said.


    Naturally, Ye Futian knew that since Liu Feiyang was here, he really ced great importance on friendships and disapproved of this. He wasn’t thinking from the perspective of the Liu Kingdom’s interest. They were friends but it would be understandable if Liu Feiyang, as a prince of the Liu Kingdom, cut off all ties with him.


    “What level is the Liu Kingdom’s power?” Ye Futian asked. It wasn’t really his ce to ask but he did so anyway.


    Liu Feiyang understood him, of course. “ording to my father, the Qin Dynasty might have found and activated their ancestors’ tombs. My father estimates that there is a great difference in power.”


    Of all the top forces, only the three in the center were the strongest: the Qin Dynasty, Donghua n, and the College. The others were all a bit weaker. If the Qin Dynasty reactivated the ancestors’ tombs, it would be terrifying.


    Ye Futian’s brows knitted. One’s power determined one’s confidence. If the Liu Kingdom didn’t fear the Qin Dynasty’s power, they could do as they wished.


    “Chenyu revealed to me that she has feelings for Wuchen. This would have been great news in the past, but now...” Liu Feiyang said. “If Wuchen had your status, he could fight for her, but he’s only a swordsman from the seventh summit of the Fuyun Sword n. Disciples from the first summit have gone to cultivate at the Dongqin College. It’s highly possible that they will be allies. Under this situation, it is difficult for Wuchen topete with Qin Yuan. I’m a bit worried.” He didn’t feel good about this. He didn’t expect the Qin Dynasty would propose so suddenly.


    Ever since Qin Yu was given the title of crown prince, the Qin Dynasty started taking huge strides forward. They were bing more and more powerful. The Liu Kingdom was under great pressure and he feared his father would choose to sacrifice Liu Chenyu.


    “I hope His Majesty won’t agree,” Ye Futian murmured. This was the Liu Kingdom’s matters. He couldn’t interfere and could only try his best. In the beginning, he’d jokingly pushed Liu Chenyu and Ye Wuchen together. If they really had mutual feelings, he couldn’t just sit and watch Liu Chenyu marry Qin Yuan.


    ...


    People from the various top forces gradually arrived at the imperial city. The Qin Dynasty had visited all the important figures and expressed their attitude. Finally, the day of the marriage proposal was here.


    Today, guards stood in order outside a ce inside the pce. A group came from afar on the golden road outside the pce. The person at the front wore a golden robe. His long hair was tied up. He had handsome features and a pair of bright eyes. He had a slight smile and looked really mesmerizing. Indeed, he could be a flower boy. This was Qin Yuan, youngest son of Emperor Qin. Today, he was the star.


    Beside him were Qin Mengruo, Qian Shanmo, Qin Li, Chu Yaoyao, and the others. They were all extraordinary while the girls were even more beautiful. Two of the three beauties appeared together.


    This group also signified something else. Qian Shanmo and Chu Yaoyao were respectively from the Donghua n and Moon n. Appearing with Qin Yuan, this added more to the proposal.


    Qian Shanmu was obvious. The Donghua n had already announced to ally with the Qin Dynasty. But was Chu Yaoyao here as Qin Li’s girlfriend or the Virgin of the Moon n?


    Another group flew over quickly andnded outside the pce. In the distance, a group of swordsmen came in the air with whistling sword aura. They alsonded near the pce.


    In the distant crowd, many people walked towards the pce. They were all from the top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory and had all arrived. Emperor Liu had invited people from all over for the proposal. They naturally wouldn’t miss this event. This could very possibly show the direction of the Eastern Barren Territory’s future!
