The Legend of Futian-Chapter 243: The Junior Is More Thoughtful

He Jiang fell to the ground. With his cultivation gone, his expression was like dead ashes. He knew what this meant for him.

The people of the Donghua Clan looked at Gu Dongliu and Xue Ye. Someone said coldly, "Gu Dongliu, have you thought of the consequences?"

Gu Dongliu walked out and returned to the dragon. Xue Ye gazed at the Donghua disciple coolly with disdain.

Consequence? Did the Donghua Clan not think of consequences when they attacked the Cottage?

"Declare war as you wish," Gu Dongliu said. Then the black dragon roared and its body shook. It turned and shot into the clouds, flying towards the distance.

Countless eyes stared at the figure in white. As it disappeared, they still couldn't calm down.

Only the Cottage could act like this in the Eastern Barren Territory. Only they could disrespect the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan like this.

Declare war as you wish.

They didn't fear war even if they were alone.

The people from the College glanced at the Donghua Clan. Situ Wu said, "Let's go." Then they left immediately.

The Sword Saint Mountain and Liu Kingdom departed as well. The people of the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan remained in their spots. Many of the members of top forces had odd expressions. Was this really the titling ceremony for the Qin Dynasty's crown prince? Qin Yu's name should be the one spreading throughout on a day like this. However, people will only remember that the Cottage had come from afar and disabled a Donghua Noble.

They would only remember Gu Dongliu, the third disciple of the Cottage, and the arrogant scholar Xue Ye.

Someone would be remembered today. However, it was not Qin Yu who had become crown prince. The Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan were only the supporting characters.

Qian Shanmu stared at the figures that had long disappeared. The things that had happened made him feel many things. It had started because of him and Qin Mengruo. The gradually evolving clash between two large forces ended with the Donghua Clan's temporary defeat.

Of course, what really moved him wasn't the Donghua Clan's humiliation. Rather, it was the Cottage's disciples.

No matter if it was Gu Dongliu, Xue Yue, or even Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, they were all so extraordinary. Was this what the Cottage was—the sacred and inextinguishable legend of the Eastern Barren Territory?

He had seen Gu Dongliu's arrogance today. Compared to his senior brother, Gu Dongliu's aura was sharper. They often cultivated together so he obviously was very familiar. Now, he wanted to know if the legendary senior brother or Gu Dongliu was stronger.

The Donghua Clan's Noble was disabled today and planted the seed for the future. He had a feeling that the two would definitely have a battle.

Gu Dongliu and Ye Futian obviously didn't know what he was thinking. Even if they did, they wouldn't care. The Cottage acted as they pleased.

On the dragon's back, Gu Dongliu stood beside Ye Futian and said, "This isn't over."

Ye Futian was surprised and looked at him. Gu Dongliu faced forward with his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly, "The Qin Dynasty won't admit it but they were definitely involved. Luo Fan told me that they must have allied with the Donghua Clan to repress the Cottage, which is why they started with you. However, I am not strong enough to defeat the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan. Thus, I can only disable the one who hurt Yu Sheng. I'm sorry."

"Third Brother." Ye Futian felt warm inside. His third and fourth senior brothers had traveled such great lengths today to the Qin palace. They helped take revenge for him and Yu Sheng, even disabling a Noble, but still felt they didn't do enough.

"Junior." Gu Dongliu turned to gaze at him and said, "The teacher once said something to all the disciples. I will now repeat it to you."

Ye Futian nodded.

"He said that, when walking in the world, the most important thing is to respect your teacher," Gu Dongliu said.

Ye Futian was surprised and then shocked. As expected of the Cottage's teacher…impressive.

Gu Dongliu didn't think anything was wrong with it, as if it was a fact. He then said, "Other than that, you must use reason. What is reason? Reason is the rules of the world. If the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan declared war, you have to bear any consequences if you agree. The Cottage will not take revenge for you. That is the way. However, they didn't follow the rules, so reason is on the side of the Cottage. Thus, the Cottage has nothing to fear. If there is anything more powerful than 'reason,' then it is your fist. If your fist isn't strong enough, you have no right to talk about reason. Therefore, the most basic thing of life is cultivation."

Ye Futian was utterly impressed. They were simple phrases but sounded like truths of the universe. He grew even more curious about his teacher.

The Cottage had fought many times, showing their demeanor and this demeanor must have been created by the teacher he had not yet met. But thinking of the first sentence, he felt awkward. What kind of person was the teacher?

"I'll keep it in mind." Ye Futian nodded.

"There's something else," Gu Dongliu said. "Before coming, I'd wanted Yu Sheng to become the ninth disciple of the Cottage."

Ye Futian was shocked but quickly smiled. The moment Yu Sheng entered the Cottage, he understood that Yu Sheng would become a true disciple there as well. Of course, his feelings towards the Cottage weren't the same as now.

At that time, the Cottage was mysterious and powerful to him. Now, it was warm, like a home. He was definitely happy if Yu Sheng could be part of it.

"But Yu Sheng rejected me," Gu Dongliu continued. Ye Futian's smile froze and stared at the other in shock. "He said that if you're here, he's here," Gu Dongliu said slowly.

Ye Futian muttered, "That idiot."

"Indeed." Gu Dongliu chuckled. "However, I like him. Even if he's not the ninth disciple, he's still a part of us."

"Thank you, Third Senior Brother." Ye Futian chuckled too.

"Why don't you thank me?" Xue Ye asked sadly, moving closer to them.

"Fourth Senior Brother, I think that you should transcribe more books when you get back," Ye Futian said with a smile. These words were genuine. To Fourth Senior Brother, transcribing books must be very useful.

"We're done," Xue Ye said in mock anger. Then he looked to Gu Dongliu and grinned. "Third Senior Brother, I kind of miss our teacher. I want to go find him."

Looking at him, Gu Dongliu smiled and patted Xue Ye's shoulder. "Junior, he must be very touched but there's no need to go look for him. If he doesn't want to come back, no one can find him."

"Then I want to go into the society to experience the love and hate of the world," Xue Ye continued.

"What about me is not enough for you?" Gu Dongliu asked with his hands behind his back.

Xue Ye froze. He quickly smiled and said, "No, Senior, you're so talented and wise."

"Okay." Gu Dongliu nodded. "Then what about Second Senior Sister isn't enough for you?"

Xue Ye flinched and quickly said, "Senior, I'll go back to the Cottage. I still need to get advice from Second Senior Sister."

"You still know your manners." Gu Dongliu nodded but Xue Ye felt dispirited.

Ye Futian gaped at this, his expression a bit dramatic. This was too impressive. Xue Ye seemed to sense something. He glanced at Ye Futian and glared.

Ye Futian looked away as if he saw nothing.

…

When they returned to the Cottage, Yu Sheng's injury was much better. Fifth Senior Brother must have given him many nutrients.

Second Senior Sister glanced at them. She didn't ask what had happened. Since Gu Dongliu had gone personally, they wouldn't have returned if the crisis wasn't solved. Therefore, she didn't need to ask.

Her pretty eyes falling on Ye Futian, she said, "Junior, come over."

"Oh." Ye Futian nodded and walked before her. "Senior Sister," he greeted.

"Did you get hurt?" Zhuge Hui studied him.

"No, I'm great," Ye Futian replied with a smile.

"That's good. Did your Fifth Senior Brother not take good care of you this time?" Zhuge Hui asked.

Hearing this, Luo Fan looked up from his cooking and shook his head furiously.

"Uh…" Ye Futian saw Luo Fan's movements and quickly chuckled. "He took care of me well. What happened was pure accident."

Luo Fan let out a relieved sigh but quickly looked jealous and hurt. "Senior Sister," he said pitifully. "Why are you so biased?"

Life was so hard on the mountain.

"I finally have a junior brother to take care of," the Second Senior Sister said, grinning. Beside her, Yi Xiaoshi made a face, feeling extremely frustrated. He had been the youngest before Ye Futian came but he didn't get this treatment.

Why was the difference so obvious?

Ye Futian shook his head. "Of the eight disciples in the Cottage, only Second and Sixth Senior Sister are girls. You two are like fairies. I should be the one protecting you and lessening your worries."

Luo Fan and Yi Xiaoshi gaped at Ye Futian. They finally knew why there was a difference.

As expected, Second Senior Sister smiled brilliantly. "Junior, you're more thoughtful than the others."

Depressed, Luo Fan lowered his head and continued feeding the fire. He missed the days off the mountain. He didn't know when he could go out again.

…

Many days later, the Qin palace event spread through the Eastern Barren Territory. It caused a huge splash and countless people discussed it.

They didn't really know what had happened previously inside the palace. Only those top forces knew the details. However, the Cottage disabling a Donghua Noble outside the palace was enough to shake the entire region.

Countless eyes focused on the Donghua Clan. As a group that wanted to become the top clan, would the Donghua Clan let this go?

No matter what happened earlier, this had nothing to do with right or wrong anymore. It was a fight for power between these two forces.

Just as everyone was focused on them, countless people walked out of the Donghua Clan one day!
