"Second Prince!" Ye Zhan pulled Ye Tian over to the Second Prince, who was chatting merrily, and bowed respectfully.
"Today is outside the palace, there's no need for etiquette!”The Second Prince smiled warmly and reached out to stop Ye Zhan, who was about to bow.
"My father taught me that etiquette should never be abandoned.”Ye Zhan dodged the Second Prince's hand and bowed slightly.
Ye Tian pursed his lips helplessly, bowing slightly in front of everyone.
The Second Prince grabbed Ye Tian's arm and said warmly,""This is Ye Tian, right? You beat me up so badly back then, so we're acquaintances now. There's no need to be so polite outside the Palace! Ye Tian wasn't like this back then!”
The Second Prince didn't put on airs, speaking with confidence and assurance, warming the hearts of the ministers and ministers around him. They all praised the Second Prince for his generosity, but Ye Tian didn't put on airs and stood up.
"Second Prince, Fourth Brother is rude. Please forgive me!”Ye Zhan was displeased and cupped his hands.
"It's nothing. Go do your thing!" The Second Prince nodded.
Ye Zhan cupped his hands and took his leave, leading Ye Tian a little further away before saying unhappily,""Fourth brother, these are the people with real power in Yucheng Nation and Tianfeng Nation. Let others laugh at my Ye family for not knowing etiquette.”
Seeing Ye Tian's indifferent expression, she couldn't help but sigh.
Ye Zhan wasn't angry. When he turned to look to the side, he revealed a cold smile." Hmph, I'll let you offend them. If you offend these people, even if you leave the Ye family safely, it'll be difficult for you to move an inch!”
Ye Zhan's second visitor was the Crown Prince, speaking a few words in a neutral tone. Although the etiquette was impeccable, Ye Tian could see the difference.
The Ye family seemed to have sided with the Second Prince.
Since ancient times, the Crown Prince was the ruler of the Ye family. He looked around at the nobles, ministers, officials, and families. They sang about propriety, righteousness, and shame all day long. When it came to the fight for power, they still took off their human skin and revealed their brutal nature.
Third, Ye Zhan ignored the nobles and paid a visit to the Weiwu General. Facing this old man, Ye Tian felt as if he had been seen through, an uncomfortable feeling.
It was even more intense than when he faced Ye Hongtong.
"What is the cultivation level of this Great General? His eyes are actually so sharp." Ye Tian thought to himself, not resisting.
The remaining ones were the patriarchs of the various great clans and the important officials of the imperial court.
After this round, Ye Tian's heart was filled with excitement. His good big brother wanted him to embarrass himself in front of others, and it would be best if he was angry and hit him.
He could teach him a good lesson. As long as there was a suitable reason, he could even beat and scold him on the spot.
However, it was a pity that he couldn't even tolerate this. How could he ever go to the Shangguan family to ask for an explanation?
Ye Tian also felt a headache coming on. This round, he had offended many people, and his status as the Young Master of the Ye Clan had been placed on the table. This was supposed to be his wedding, but his elder brother had put on his wedding clothes and was looking at him with a strange and confused expression, making Ye Tian very unhappy.
"Big brother, you've achieved your goal. Can you let me go now?”Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief, calmly looking at Ye Zhan.
Ye Tian's expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal.""Fourth brother, what are you talking about? Big brother has something to do, so he'll go first!”
After saying that, Ye Zhan hurriedly turned around and left. He was still muttering in his heart. Why did his younger brother seem to have changed into a different person? He was much smarter. Hmph, even so, he still offended many people.
After Ye Zhan left, Ye Tian felt more relaxed. He walked out of the hall with nothing to do, but he couldn't do anything to stop the ugly faces.
The night was exceptionally quiet. The thin mist parted, and the stars were clear. Outside the main hall of the Ye family was a circular garden, and in the middle was a bluestone road that was about 20 meters wide.
Ye Tian was standing by one of the gardens, watching the people come and go. He didn't feel much envy, only shame. He didn't have to love Shangguan Qing 'er or marry her.
However, what should have been his was forced by the Shangguan family and the Ye family to be handed over!
"Shangguan family, you came all the way here to break off the engagement! Good! You've succeeded this time." Ye Tian's eyes flashed with a sharp light as a blossoming flower bud suddenly withered and fell into the grass.
" Eh?" Suddenly, a voice came from not far behind.
Ye Tian quickly composed himself and turned around to see two people.
Ye Qinglin and Shangguan Qing 'er.
"Second Sister!" Ye Tian smiled and nodded.
"Fourth brother, you are a cultivator!" Ye Qinglin's expression changed. She looked at the flower bud that had fallen off her head and landed on the grass. It was white and withered. She asked in surprise.
"Second Sister, are you seeing things?" Ye Tian's heart jumped. If that old bastard Ye Hongtong knew about this, he wouldn't be able to last until the Trial.
Ye Qinglin calmed down and looked at Ye Tian deeply, quickly understanding and smiling awkwardly.""Maybe I saw wrongly. Where was I just now? I really want to forget!”
Ye Tian smiled gratefully. This Second Sister of his was quite nice to him, so he wasn't too worried. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Shangguan Qing 'er, who was glaring at him angrily.
"Hmph, so what if he's a Deity Cultivator? If he couldn't reach the Void Condensing Realm, he would still be a good-for-nothing!”Shangguan Qing 'er snorted, looking at Ye Tian with disdain.
"Oh?" Ye Tian laughed coldly, then said playfully,""Two years later, do you dare to compete with me? Regardless of life and death."
"Compete with you?" Shangguan Qing 'er looked at the man who was rumored to have almost become her husband. Was he still that cowardly and unambitious man?
Shangguan Qing 'er didn't think too much about it and quickly got rid of this thought.
"Humph! Why not? If I lose, I'll be your slave.”Shangguan Qing 'er's expression changed as she glanced at Ye Tian with disdain.
"Good, as expected of the talented disciple of the Heaven Vault Dojo! The eldest daughter of the Shangguan family." Ye Tian snorted coldly and left.
"Fourth brother, you are too reckless. Regardless of whether you win or lose, the Firmament Pavilion will not let Qing 'er become a slave. You can't even get past the Shangguan family! Not to mention the martial arts sacred ground, the Heaven Vault Pavilion.”Ye Qinglin frowned, her head aching as she watched Ye Tian walk away.
"Sister Qinglin, don't worry. I won't cripple your fourth brother for your sake.”Shangguan Qing 'er looked at the frowning Ye Qinglin and waved her fist, smiling.
"Qing `er, are you really going to get engaged to my big brother? It's not too late to regret now." Ye Qinglin sighed.
"Eh, you seem to be very dissatisfied with this marriage?”Shangguan Qing 'er couldn't help but size up Ye Qinglin.
"Why not? My father said that the engagement must be done with the Ye Family no matter what. Otherwise, not only will it damage the reputation of the Shangguan Family, but it will also affect the state affairs of the Tianfeng Kingdom and Yucheng Kingdom.”Shangguan Qing 'er's eyes widened with a trace of confusion. She turned around and said very seriously.
"Don't you think about yourself? Although the engagement was not as important as marriage, it was still a very important matter for a woman!”Hearing Shangguan Qing 'er's explanation, Ye Qinglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she couldn't do anything about it. After all, although she and Shangguan Qing' er looked glamorous, their marriage wasn't up to her to decide.
Sometimes, thinking about it, it wouldn't be bad if she was like Shangguan Qing 'er!
"Oh, it doesn't matter. After today's matter is over, I will go to the Skydome Pavilion with my brother. "I'm pursuing the peak of martial arts. Nothing else is important.”Shangguan Qing 'er shook her head and said indifferently.
"No!" he suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qinglin looked at the startled Shangguan Qing 'er. Her thoughts were very simple. Perhaps she didn't mean to hurt her fourth brother.
Thinking about marrying her big brother, with Shangguan Qing 'er's temper, she didn't know if her big brother would be happy or sad in the end.
"I want to make it clear to your brother that you're not allowed to use my name to brag in front of my friends! Don't embarrass me." After Shangguan Qing 'er remembered, she walked to the side.
Ye Qinglin knew about this. After the engagement, the man would have to stay with the woman for a period of time. It was inevitable that he would meet Shangguan Qing 'er's friends.
"Little sister Qing `er!" Ye Qinglin suddenly pulled Shangguan Qing 'er back.
"Sister Qinglin, what's wrong with you today? You're always so rash. Do you have anything to say?”Shangguan Qing 'er frowned and turned around to ask.
"No, no!" Ye Qinglin let go and denied in a hurry.
"Oh! Then I'll go first!" Shangguan Qing 'er nodded in doubt.
"About that…don't tell anyone about my fourth brother's cultivation, especially the Ye family!”Ye Qinglin gritted her teeth and suddenly said.
"Oh, so it's about this!" Shangguan Qing 'er had an expression of' I see,'and said very indifferently,""Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!”
"Really?" Ye Qinglin didn't expect Shangguan Qing 'er to agree so readily.
"Of course, my master said that cultivating the divine requires great perseverance and is even more difficult than martial arts. Once a heart demon arises, it is extremely dangerous. I don't want him to say that I leaked his secret and affected his cultivation two years later. I want to defeat him fair and square. Hmph!”Shangguan Qing 'er said very seriously," That mess of things in your Ye Family is really too troublesome. I can't be bothered to care about it.”
Ye Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief." That's good!”
"Alright, Sister Qinglin, I'm going to find your big brother!”Shangguan Qing 'er said with a smile. She tugged at a corner of her red dress and walked out uncomfortably.
When she met someone who greeted her, she would respond very politely and politely. It was hard to imagine that she was still the young girl from before.
"Sigh, not all women from big families are very happy!”Ye Qinglin sighed and turned back.
"Damn it, Ye Qinglin must know!”Ye Tian turned and walked past the garden, his heart filled with regret.
The sound of three cannons rang out in his ears. Ye Tian looked outside and saw that the people had already entered the hall. The three cannons were the official start of the engagement ceremony.
There were busy servants, enthusiastic guests, and people moving around. It was very lively.
"You don't look so indifferent!”Suddenly, a figure appeared behind him. Ye Tian's expression changed slightly, but he didn't attack, pretending as if nothing had happened.
"So it's the Great General!"
Looking at this old man who had spent half his life in the military, he thought to himself,"Why is this Great General so interested in me?”The Weiwu Great General was in charge of the three armies and had always been pampered and humiliated. Most of them addressed him as Great General, but his real name was Zheng Kun.
"Your father and I have known each other for a long time.”As if reading Ye Tian's mind, the Formidable Great General spoke.
"So what?" Ye Tian was expressionless.
"It's very likely that your father was killed. I promised him that I would protect your life before you became an adult. Of course, I don't care about the humiliation you suffered.”The Mighty Great General said nonchalantly.
"Looks like I have to thank you for your protection! It allowed me to live for so many years." Ye Tian's heart was filled with rage. His fate was not in the hands of the heavens, but it was being controlled by someone else time and time again.
Today, another great general jumped out and said that he had always been protecting him. How did he protect himself? In the past, he did not know martial arts or Taoism. When he was bullied and humiliated, where were you?
At this moment, he actually changed into the appearance of a savior. In a condescending manner, he righteously told himself that it was for his own good.
What a joke. Do you want me to be grateful?
"How can you succeed if you don't have a strong will? I once planned to give up on you and avenge your father myself. When you come of age, I'll save you and help you hide your identity so that you can live a safe life. However, I changed my mind today!”The Mighty Great General's tone remained calm, as if he had everything under control.
"You will take revenge for this.”
Ye Tian frowned, not used to being seen through and controlled.
"Don't tell anyone about our conversation! In return, I'll help you once today.”The Formidable Great General seemed to be hinting at something. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in a flash.
Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that his back was already soaked in sweat and that he hadn't noticed it.
He took a deep look at the bustling surroundings and muttered,"Was that a divine soul or a real person just now? He had been in the hall all this time, and the bustling crowd actually didn't notice a single person appearing.”
"Help me? How can you help me?" Ye Tian turned his gaze to the two people behind the wedding.
Ye Hongtong and Shangguan Qingyun appeared and greeted each other politely. Due to the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince stood next to them.
The Formidable Great General was also beside the four of them. In comparison, the other ministers and clan leaders did not receive such treatment.
