Ye Futian had arrived . A line of swordsmen descended beside him . It was Ye Wuchen's group .
"You are here . " Ye Futian smiled at Ye Wuchen .
Ye Wuchen nodded slightly with a comparatively serious look . He looked at the palace behind, having no idea about how his story would end . What if he couldn't make it?
The strong cultivators of the Qin Dynasty in front of them stopped and turned to Ye Futian's group, seeming to wait for them . Ye Futian and Ye Wuchen's eyes fell upon one among this group . It was a very handsome guy they had never met before . He must be the groom in this proposal—Qin Yuan, the youngest son of Emperor Qin . Qin Yuan was as young as little princess Qin Mengruo and Qin Li, the grandson of Emperor Qin .
While observing Ye Futian and Ye Wuchen, Qin Yuan smiled at Ye Futian and said, "Nice to meet you . I am Qin Yuan . I heard your name a lot, Ye Futian . "
"Really?" Ye Futian smiled too and said, "But I don't know you . "
A few days ago, the two had had a fierce conversation in the air . Now Qin Yuan could still smile and greet Ye Futian in a typical Qin Dynasty style . He was really hypocritical . In all of Eastern Barren Territory, the Qin Dynasty was the one that wanted to eliminate the Cottage the most .
"Never mind, we know each other now . We can communicate more . " Qin Yuan still smiled .
"I am not interested in that . " Ye Futian moved forward .
Seeing Ye Futian's group walking away, Qin Yuan smiled . Was that the Cottage style?

Qin Li's eyes flickered . It would not be so easy for Ye Futian to stop this marriage .
"Let's go . " The people of the Qin Dynasty moved forward too . The guards guarding the palace gate backed aside, letting them in . All forces were guided forward in the mighty palace . Coming to the golden stairs before the imperial palace, they walked up step by step and saw a golden dragon-shape path leading to the throne . Many people were waiting there . They were all the Liu Kingdom's important men . It was the Qin Dynasty's proposal day . The Liu Kingdom invited all forces to be the guests . The Liu Kingdom's nobilities would naturally attend .
There was a slope in the front decorated with a painting of a dancing golden dragon in the center . Besides the slope were stairs leading to the golden throne above . Obviously, this was where Emperor Liu was going to sit later . He was not here at this time .
Liu Kingdom's nobilities all looked at the coming guests . Except for those guards, most were famous among the young generation . They discussed with smiles .
"It is good to see so many young talents of the Eastern Barren Territory," a magnate said and smiled .
"Those young talents here must be the future of the Eastern Barren Territory . "
They chatted casually while observing . The most eye-catching people should be Qin Yuan's group . They were very outstanding, including Qin Yuan, Qin Li, Qin Mengruo, Qian Shanmu, as well as Chu Yaoyao . Everyone in this group could be seen as a top talent among the young generation .
Some people were looking at Ye Futian's group, guessing which force they came from . Soon, they roughly knew the answer by judging their appearances and auras .
Some eyes fell upon Ye Futian . They knew who he was . Beside this handsome and decorous youth was another bulky man . Obviously, it could only be Ye Futian and Yu Sheng .
The one-arm swordsman by his side should be Ye Wuchen from the seventh summit of the Fuyun Sword Clan . The woman with silver hair and eyes must be the one from Ancient Loulan who was sent to the Cottage .

Ancient Loulan showed their ambition in occupying a place in the Eastern Barren Territory too . Ye Futian was their bet in this gamble .
At this moment, Qin Yuan came up to bowed toward those nobilities in a very humble manner . Many of the noble elders all responded with smiles and praised the humbleness of the Qin Dynasty's prince .
"If the Qin Dynasty's prince and our princess are going to marry each other, it will be a very romantic story," said someone . People pretended not to hear this man's public approval of the marriage . They kept chatting and laughing .
Ye Futian and Ye Wuchen looked at those people with indifference . It seemed that Qin Yuan's effort in visiting around these days helped him a lot . No one knew what the conversations between Qin Yuan and those noble men were about, but it seemed that they were getting along very well with each other . As for Ye Wuchen, he was neither good at social kind of things, nor was he as hypocritical as the Qin Dynasty .
Qin Li's group stood near Ye Futian . Qin Li looked at him and smiled . "Brother Ye, I heard that you have some complaints about our proposal . Why did you defame us?"
"Defame?" Ye Futian stared at Qin Li . He did say that the Qin Dynasty was vile but was that defamation?
Qin Li knew what Ye Futian meant . He kept smiling and said, "The Cottage and the Qin Dynasty are at odds, so I understand your complaint . Brother Ye, I heard that you and Princess Chenyu are good friends . My uncle is here for the proposal . Shouldn't you be happy for her?"
"Yes, we are good friends . That's why I won't let her marry a hypocrite," Ye Futian responded coldly . "You played the mutual affection thing . It's your business, but don't play that trick on others . By the way, don't call me 'Brother Ye' . I am not your brother . " Obviously, he was alluding to Qin Li's affair with Chu Yaoyao .
Chu Yaoyao glanced at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes . She was still mild and charming .
Qin Li sneered . "Let's wait and see . I am sure Emperor Liu won't refuse such a good proposal . "
"Lord Ye . " At this moment, someone laughed charmingly . Ye Futian turned around and saw the Witch Gu Biyue and her brother Gu Zhiqiu coming together with some strong cultivators from the Witch Clan .

"Long time no see . Lord Ye has another beauty around . " Gu Biyue looked at Loulan Xue with a smile . She had met Loulan Xue in the Ancient Barren World .
"Do you want to join us?" Ye Futian laughed .
"I'd like to, but my brother won't allow me . I'll have to wait for another chance to serve you . " Gu Biyue smirked at Gu Zhiqiu behind her . Gu Zhiqiu and Ye Futian glanced at each other quickly and looked away .
Ye Futian didn't care about Gu Zhiqiu's warning . Gu Zhiqiu had done nothing to him either .
Besides the Witch Clan, the Ji Family, Royal Xuan Temple, and Fuyun Sword Clan all came . Many other forces could be seen here too, except the most distant Sword Saint Mountain and the Qianqiu Temple . As for the Moon Clan, only Chu Yaoyao came .
The Royal Xuan Temple and Fuyun Sword Clan were the closest to the Qin Dynasty .
At this time, a dignified figure appeared above the slope, followed by Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu . Looking at the crowd, Liu Chenyu saw Ye Futian and Ye Wuchen . Her beautiful dark eyes were seemly full of vexation .
"Your Majesty . " All the noble men bowed .
Qin Yuan's group walked forward and bowed . "Your Majesty, we are Qin Yuan, Qin Li and Qing Mengruo from the Qin Dynasty . "
"Your Majesty, I am Qian Shanmu from the Donghua Clan . "
People constantly bowed and introduced themselves; Ye Futian did too . He noticed that when bowed, Chu Yaoyao introduced herself directly without mentioning the Moon Clan .
"You are all guests from afar . Thank you for coming," Emperor Liu said with a smile, looking at the people .
Qin Yuan took a step forward and bowed again with a smile . He raised his head and showed his handsome face to Emperor Liu . Before Qin Yuan could say anything, a figure stepped forward, stopped before him, and said to Emperor Liu, "Your Majesty, I am Ye Wuchen from the seventh summit of the Fuyun Sword Clan . I've always had a strong admiration for Liu Chenyu, the princess . Today, I come to the Liu Kingdom to ask for your permission for our marriage . "
Qin Yuan was supposed to say the same thing but he had to keep silent now . He raised his head and looked at Ye Wuchen before him . How could Ye Wuchen make the first proposal?
People fell silent . Liu Chenyu stared at that one-armed figure in white standing straight proudly below the stairs . His tone was so determined . Her eyes turned a little red and she smiled lightly . Her feelings were obvious to all . He came in such a direct way . She saw his backbone . How many people in the Eastern Barren Territory dared to contend with the Qin Dynasty? She knew what kind of pressure Ye Wuchen was facing .
Emperor Liu was looking at Ye Wuchen too . He glanced at Liu Chenyu and immediately figured out that it was him .
Ye Wuchen was wearing all white . One of his sleeves hung down loosely; clearly, he had only one arm . But when he made the proposal, his eyes were determined and his body stood straight, proud as a sword .
His arm had been chopped off by Li Daoyun, but Li Daoyun had been killed by his sword . The emperor appreciated Ye Wuchen's spirit a lot . If it was in the past, he would have agreed to his proposal, but Ye Wuchen's rival was Qin Yuan, the Qin Dynasty .
"Ye Wuchen, is this deliberate?" Qin Li suddenly questioned . The silence was disturbed . He said coldly, "We announced today's proposal many days ago . And now, what are you doing? What do you mean?"
Qin Yuan bowed toward the emperor too and said, "Your Majesty, I am Qin Yuan . I have admired Princess Chenyu for a long time . Today, I come to ask your permission for our marriage . "
"What lies!" Ye Futian said coldly . "How many times have you met Chenyu? How many conversations have you had with her? Admired her for a long time? How? Ye Wuchen and I knew Chenyu long ago . We were always together when we were in Chaoge City . Don't tell me that the Qin Dynasty knows nothing about the affection between Ye Wuchen and Liu Chenyu . Naturally, we come to propose . Who's the one making trouble now?"
Ye Futian continued, "I heard that the Qin Dynasty's little prince, Qin Yuan, is very noble . A noble gentleman will not do such a lowly thing like robbing other's love . Am I right?" It was not appropriate for Ye Wuchen to say this so Ye Futian would say it for him!
