The Legend of Futian

Chapter 1889 Hidden Dangers

Chapter 1889 Hidden Dangers

A Pavilion Master who was foreign to the continent was looking down on Jun Qiuyan?

Many people revealed suspicious looks. They did not believe it. There were a few people who controlled the holy lands of the continents next to Jun Qiuyan. Before this, they were trying to speculate Ye Futian’s identity. They never imagined that he was just a Pavilion Master. His cultivation was also not very high.

"Insolent!" a voice cried out. The crowd shifted their gazes towards the direction of the speaker. They saw a very beautiful woman. It was Beigong Shuang, who was standing next to Ye Futian.

"You call that admiration?" Beigong Shuang said as she looked at Jun Qiuyan. Why was it that she felt uncomfortable just looking at this person? Although Jun Qiuyan was handsome, he was a hypocrite.

It was as though everyone had to obey his orders. He took offense at those who did not obey him, claiming that they were looking down on him.

"Shuang’er," Beigong Ao said softly. He wanted to keep her in check. They were outsiders. The Jun clan was not just powerful; they were the hosts of the Penglai Continent. Stirring up conflict with the other party here was definitely not wise.

Beigong Shuang looked at him coldly and did not say any more. Yet, at that moment, Jun Qiuyan looked towards her. He was not angered and still casually asked, "Could it be that it isn’t so?"

Beigong Shuang wanted to respond, but Beigong Ao kept her in check with a glance.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment. Right then, Bai Mu said, "Everyone is here for Eastern Deity Island. Since we are all friends of Eastern Deity Island, let us put these unhappy thoughts behind us."

She was trying to lighten up the atmosphere. With a smile, Jun Qiuyan said, "Goddess, you worry too much. There are no hard feelings here. I was only asking, out of curiosity, why she said this was not admiration."

Ye Futian frowned. Bai Mu had already tried to mediate so intentionally, yet Jun Qiuyan still was not willing to let it go.

Although his tone was calm and he seemed indifferent, his status was still up there. Such a line of questioning was him wanting them to yield and actively explain themselves.

How should Beigong Shuang respond now?

The crowd could also tell that Beigong Ao was keeping Beigong Shuang in check. At that moment, many people were looking towards Beigong Shuang. They seemed to be waiting for this proud and beautiful woman to actively back down.

Jun Qiuyan wanted to make her yield.

"A few days later, we will be heading over to Eastern Deity Island to train. When the time comes, why don’t you join me and train on the island?" Ye Futian suggested as he looked at Jun Qiuyan.

Once he said this, the space immediately fell into an eerie silence.

Ye Futian wanted Jun Qiuyan to accompany him to the island to train?

Who was Jun Qiuyan? Ye Futian, the Pavilion Master of the Dongyuan Pavilion, who was most likely a puppet Pavilion Master, was inviting Jun Qiuyan to accompany him?

At that moment, many people had a bizarre look in their eyes. They seemed to be unable to comprehend what was going on. Once one cultivated to the level of Renhuang, no one was a fool. To train in the Divine Prefecture, one needed to have the wisdom to survive.

Ye Futian’s words would undoubtedly offend Jun Qiuyan deeply.

Was he giving Jun Qiuyan a slap to the face in public?

Even Jun Qiuyan was stunned. He seemed very surprised that these were the words he ended up hearing. He looked at Ye Futian and felt somewhat strange. He never imagined that someone would say such things to him.

"Alright. When the time comes, I will accompany Pavilion Master Ye to Eastern Deity Island," Jun Qiuyan replied, not getting angry. In fact, he still revealed a plain smile as he answered Ye Futian. It was as though he was conversing with an old friend.

"It seems that my admiration has been reciprocated. From the looks of it, I was indeed discourteous before this. You are so open-minded. I truly cannot match you in manners," Ye Futian said with a smile. He was similarly indifferent, as though he had no ego.

Even after hearing his words, the crowd still did not understand what was going on.

Jun Qiuyan probably invited Ye Futian to accompany him to Eastern Deity Island before this and was rejected, causing Jun Qiuyan to be somewhat displeased.

Hence, such a scene had occurred.

Of course, the crowd would not find fault in what Jun Qiuyan did. With his status on the Penglai Continent, he was naturally qualified to invite the Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master to join him. Conversely, was Ye Futian worthy of inviting the young master of Jun clan to accompany him to the Eastern Deity Island?

Their statuses were originally unequal.

Without any verbal conflict, this secret rivalry seemed to have been resolved by the façade put up by these two individuals. However, the crowd understood that from the moment Jun Qiuyan followed up on what Ye Futian said, Ye Futian had already offended Jun Qiuyan.

There would most likely be a follow-up to this matter.

Beigong Ao looked at Ye Futian, seemingly wanting to say something to him but ultimately hesitated from doing so. Beigong Shuang did not seem to mind. Although this woman had cultivated up to the Renhuang Plane, she gave Ye Futian the feeling as though she had never experienced the brutality of the cultivation world.

"Pavilion Master, Jun Qiuyan did not want to let things go before. It is apparent that this person is extremely proud and wants us to lower our heads to him. Pavilion Master’s words are undoubtedly a public retaliation. Although he did not flip out on the spot, he most likely will remember this, " Emperor Helian warned. "After entering Eastern Deity Island, please be careful of this person."

Emperor Helian was clearly also somewhat concerned and was intentionally reminding Ye Futian.

"Hmm," Ye Futian replied by transmitting his thoughts. Prior to this, he did not want to make a fuss and had endured it. He had no need to come into conflict with the other party. Yet, he had not imagined that Beigong Shuang would speak up.

Since Beigong Shuang had stood out, he could only stand out in front of her. He could not just leave Beigong Shuang to bear the consequences.

Beigong Ao seemed to be somewhat worried. Even though he was a clan leader, there were too many powerful forces in the Divine Prefecture. Most of the time, they had to endure hardships.

On the other hand, cultivators like Ye Futian, who had no family nor affiliation, could act freely and were unrestricted.

In the top seat, Bai Mu looked at Ye Futian with a profound look. She felt that it was strange for Ye Futian to have countered Jun Qiuyan so directly. By doing so, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Ye Futian on his journey to Eastern Deity Island.

However, she had no relations with the two parties. Their Eastern Deity Island would not participate in such matters.

"There will be a few fateful encounters of the Great Path on this journey to Eastern Deity Island. You are all powerful cultivators from various continents. After you enter Eastern Deity Island, I hope you all can reap benefits while you are there. If there are cultivators from any force who wish to train on the island afterward, you can come find me," Bai Mu said as she shifted the topic of the conversation to prevent them from continuing to dwell on the dispute before.

"I have always yearned to visit Eastern Deity Island. I have heard about it for many years," Jun Qiuyan said. "Ten years ago, I wanted to go there. It was just that, at that time, my cultivation was limited, and my father did not allow me to do so. This time, I will be sure to take a good look around the island. I might truly be able to train with Goddess in the future." As he said this, he looked at Bai Mu with a gentle smile. It was as though he had already forgotten what had happened just now.

"If Sir Jun says so, I will await your arrival," Bai Mu replied.

This time, Bai Mu had invited the crowd over with no real agenda in mind. It was just a simple banquet to familiarize the cultivators with each other. They might come in contact in the future. However, because of the incident between Jun Qiuyan and Ye Futian’s group, the atmosphere of the banquet was somewhat awkward.

Even though no one mentioned the incident afterward, it still affected the mood.

Ye Futian and his group were naturally ostracized. Friction had occurred between a group of cultivators from the Dongyuan Pavilion and Jun clan, both of which were the local top forces of the Penglai Continent. How would the other forces take it? Without a doubt, from their point of view, the actions of Ye Futian’s group were impulsive and foolish. Ye Futian’s group would very likely pay a high price for this impulse.

The cultivation world had always been cruel and merciless.

After staying for a while, Ye Futian took the initiative to bid farewell and left. He was somewhat bored from staying here. He would rather stroll around the Penglai Deity Region.

Bai Mu also did not keep him here, allowing Ye Futian’s group to leave. After they left the Rain Deity Terrace, Ye Futian asked Beigong Shuang, "Why did you speak up?"

"I could not stand him, so I said something. Do I need any other reason?" Beigong Shuang answered as she looked at Ye Futian.

"That is true," Ye Futian replied as he had no counter to her reasoning.

"Before this, when I was training with you in the Dongyuan Pavilion, were you also thinking of a reason? Why do you make it so complicated when you consider things? Don’t we do what we want to when cultivating?" Beigong Shuang continued as she looked at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes. "Back then, I just wanted to watch you train, so I followed you."

Ye Futian looked deeply at Beigong Shuang. Was he overthinking things then?

Beigong Shuang always had the heart of a child and was not tainted by the outside world. He looked somewhat bizarrely at Beigong Ao. He naturally could tell that this family head of Beigong Family was a sly old fox. How was it that he protected his daughter so strictly?

Beigong Ao, who was standing behind, was smiling bitterly now. He had indeed been tainted by the ways of the world and was no longer pure of heart. It would be very difficult for him to redeem himself. After his little daughter, Beigong Shuang, was born with outstanding talent, he had made sure that she would not be sullied by the ways of the world. Hence, Beigong Shuang’s cultivation progressed at an astonishing rate. Her talent was exceptional.

When Ye Futian appeared, Beigong Ao deduced that Ye Futian was certainly an extraordinary person. Hence, he had sent Beigong Shuang to train in the Dongyuan Pavilion. In reality, he had done this out of self-interest.

However, Jun Qiuyan might have Beigong Shuang on his radar now. This made Beigong Ao somewhat worried. This family head of Beigong Family, who usually showed no emotion, now had a faint look of worry and concern on his face.

"Pavilion Master, I wish to send Shuang’er back, so she won’t be entering Eastern Deity Island," Beigong Ao requested. "Of course, I will accompany Pavilion Master into Eastern Deity Island."

When Ye Futian heard Beigong Ao’s words, he understood the other party’s concern. He felt somewhat strange. Prior to this, he actually looked down on Beigong Ao, this sly old fox who shifted course with the wind. However, unbeknownst why, although Beigong Ao still remained the same, Ye Futian had some admiration for him now. In the cultivation world, everyone had their own methods for survival, regardless of whether they had strong or weak cultivation!
