Ye Futian was somewhat depressed . Since he started cultivating, he had never received such a severe emotional blow . He continued cultivating the spell given to him by his master and tried to understand what his master had said . Although he was improving slowly, he was still not close to succeeding . After a long while, he stopped and asked, "What spell did this old guy give me exactly?"
"It's indeed difficult to learn . Master must be trying to upset you on purpose . Don't be discouraged . " Hua Jieyu gave a sweet smile .
"My fox is the best . " Seeing the bright smile on Hua Jieyu's face, Ye Futian opened his arms and added, "Come and encourage me then . "
"No! I'm going to cultivate as well . " Hua Jieyu glanced at him, pouting prettily in embarrassment . Then, she turned around and similarly tried to understand Mr . Du's words previously .
"What a disobedient girlfriend . . . " Ye Futian muttered, after which he closed his eyes . Instead of continuing to cultivate spells, he started to sense his surroundings with his mind . His Spiritual Energy communicated with Spiritual Qi around him as his senses swam in the endless Spiritual Qi .
Over these days, he had learned many spells and had indeed benefited much . While these spells were mostly mediocre and probably useless in future battles, learning them still helped in his cultivation .
It became completely silent . A gentle wind blew over the bushy grass patches, causing them to feel comfortably cool . Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were both sitting there quietly and closing their eyes . At the moment, Ye Futian felt as if he no longer had a physical body . His Spiritual Energy seemed to have filled every corner of the sky and earth . In his senses, he had turned into an ancient tree . All the wood-elemental Spiritual Qi around him was part of the ancient tree .
Suddenly, many branches and vines appeared out of thin air in the space around Ye Futian, producing a splashing sound . With his body as the center, countless branches and vines swept outwards wildly, blotting out the entire sky . In an instant, they flooded everything around him, as if they were everywhere . His body, on the other hand, was like a divine tree, the source of everything .
Puff . . . Ye Futian opened his eyes and stared at the scene in front of him . It was still the same spell Lock of a Thousand Vines, but when he followed his master's instructions and cast it carefully, it was indeed much more powerful than previously .
Hua Jieyu also awoke in surprise . Looking at the scene in front of her, she smiled brightly . Although Ye Futian had not learned Mr . Du's spell, he had already improved a lot . This meant that at the very least his method was correct .
Ye Futian grinned and continued to cultivate . He cast various spells at a lower speed, but their powers increased significantly . While cultivating, he also discussed their experiences with Hua Jieyu . In the blink of an eye, it was already close to dusk .
The radiance from the setting sun poured onto Ye Futian's face, making his angular face look even more handsome . Hua Jieyu sat beside Ye Futian with her knees bent . She supported her cheeks with her hands and stared at Ye Futian, smiling .

At the moment when Ye Futian opened his eyes, he immediately saw Hua Jieyu's exquisite face . Smiling, he asked, "What are you looking at?"
"You!" Hua Jieyu smiled sweetly . Why is this guy looking better and better?
Ye Futian blinked and grinned . "If you continue doing this, I'll think about inappropriate stuff . "
"About what?" Hua Jieyu smiled and looked at him .
"About doing it right now . "
"You don't dare to!" Hua Jieyu blushed and looked even more stunning under the sunset .
"Just see if I dare . " Ye Futian suddenly leaped forward and pushed Hua Jieyu onto the ground . Hua Jieyu screamed as she fell down . Noticing that Ye Futian was staring blankly at her, she did not dare to look into his eyes . She turned her head away and her cheeks were blushing in embarrassment which made her even more attractive .
"Fox, you're really pretty," Ye Futian said .
Hua Jieyu turned her head back slowly and widened her eyes at Ye Futian . "Get up, quick . "
"Alright," Ye Futian replied, smiling . However, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed gently on Hua Jieyu's forehead .
"Let's go and see father together . " Ye Futian stood up and also pulled Hua Jieyu up . Then, he grabbed her hand and they left the place together . Hua Jieyu just allowed him to hold her hands as they ran on the emerald-green grass path . Light from the falling sun showered down on the two, producing an everlasting picture .
…
Moon Clan and Sword Saint Mountain had both shifted to Book Mountain, so naturally, Ye Futian had also brought Hua Fengliu and the rest to Book Mountain .
They were currently staying in a house on the mountainside of the Cottage . When Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu reached the place, they immediately smelt waves of aroma .
"Master, Masteress, what good food are you making again?" Walking in, Ye Futian realized that dinner had already been prepared . Masteress and Aunt Tang were busy, while Yu Sheng, Yi Qingxuan, and Tang Wan were also helping .

As for those nobles and Luolan Xue, Ye Futian had already asked them to return to Ancient Loulan . They should clearly spend the annual year-end with their families . The disciples on Book Mountain whose homes were in the Divine Capital had also gone back .
Seeing the deluxe feast, Ye Futian grinned and said, "Master, I really envy you for being able to marry Masteress and Aunt Tang . "
Hua Fengliu glanced at him and said, "Jieyu, he's referring to something . "
Ye Futian turned his head and saw Hua Jieyu staring at him, smiling .
"No . . . absolutely not . " Ye Futian smiled trembly .
"I don't think so," Yi Qingxuan commented as she carried a dish over .
"Yu Sheng, look at your girlfriend! What is she saying?" Ye Futian asked .
Yu Sheng glanced at Ye Futian in disdain . You're so scared of your girlfriend and you asked me to take care of mine?
"What's that look?" Ye Futian noticed Yu Sheng's look . It seemed that Yu Sheng had already changed drastically .
"Futian, on Book Mountain you don't have to call me Master," Hua Fengliu said . Ye Futian naturally knew what he meant . At the moment, Ye Futian's master was Mr . Du, so he should make certain things clear .
"Master, don't worry about that . That old guy will not mind about these," Ye Futian said . "Furthermore, it's okay to have two masters . "
"Futian, Mr . Du is an amazing person . Don't talk nonsense," Nandou Wenyin said, walking over . Ye Futian turned speechless . Even the masteress was speaking for that old guy .
"Alright . I'll listen to you," Ye Futian nodded .
Nandou Wenyin smiled and said, "Let's eat . After we finish you should go back to the Cottage early to accompany your master and seniors . "

"I have been with my master and seniors every day . Today I shall stay here," Ye Futian said .
"It's enough for Jieyu to accompany us . Who cares about you? Just finish eating and leave," Hua Fengliu said, totally unconcerned . Ye Futian immediately looked as if he had been wronged . His position in the family was indeed unbeatable .
"What's your level now?" Tang Wan asked Ye Futian curiously .
"Arcana Plane," Ye Futian replied . "Jieyu and Yu Sheng as well . "
Tang Wan's lips twitched as she was somewhat speechless . Their cultivation speed was really fast . If they were in Donghai they would already be famous .
Hua Fengliu and Tang Lan were also in the Arcana Plane .
"It has been over four years . " Hua Fengliu sighed as he recalled the past . In the year 9999, he came to know Ye Futian in Qingzhou Academy and took him as his disciple . Now, this disciple of his was almost as strong as he was . In the past, Ye Futian was even compared to the disciple of Art Saint, but now so many things had changed as if it was all merely a dream .
"Yup, I have also known Jieyu for over fours now," Ye Futian nodded . On the exact same day four years ago, they held their hands beside Qingzhou Lake and confirmed their relationship .
"Tomorrow it will be the year 10004 . You'll both be 20 . " Hua Fengliu looked at Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu . Time passed really fast .
"Yup, and I can get married," Ye Futian said, grinning . Everyone widened their eyes at him . This guy was really not serious at all .
"Wait till you are as strong as your big or third brother . It's too early now," Tang Lan said .
"Aunt Tang, this is too much!" Ye Futian stared at Tang Lan pitifully .
Big brother and third brother were both grade one nobles and half-way into the Sage Plane . They were standing at the top of the Eastern Barren Territory . How long would he need?
"Let's eat . " Tang Lan ignored Ye Futian, while Hua Fengliu and Nandou Wenyin laughed . Then, the family happily enjoyed the annual feast . They had not had such a warm time together for a very long time . However, Ye Futian felt really speechless when he was actually chased out after the meal . Luckily, Hua Fengliu did not cruelly take away Jieyu from him and allowed her to leave with him together .
After returning to the Cottage, Ye Futian ate again with Mr . Du and his seniors . Then, he went to chat with Ye Wuchen and Liu Chenyu . Without anyone realizing it, it was already late into the night . A crescent moon hung in the sky .
Beside the cliff in the back mountain of the Cottage, Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were sitting on the grass . A melodious music spread out, adding some vitality to the silent space . The music was beautiful yet sad as if it was telling a very ancient story .
At the top of an ancient tree in the Cottage, a figure was standing quietly . Her white shirt swayed in the wind and she was like a fairy under the moon . Another person landed quietly on an ancient tree beside . He was similarly wearing a white shirt and his face was extraordinarily handsome . In the darkness, he stared at the lady in front of him . The lady, however, did not seem to have noticed him as she continued to gaze at the distance . The young man also did not speak and accompanied her in the silence .
"Little brother is amazing . Such a piece should only be present in heaven," the lady said, smiling . It was the second sister, Zhuge Hui .
"You miss home?" Gu Dongliu asked .
"Why would I miss that place? Since I have left there, I'm not going back," Zhuge Hui replied .
"One day, I'll bring you back," Gu Dongliu said .
"Can you?" Zhuge Hui turned around and looked at him .
Gu Dongliu did not say anything else . He flashed and left the place .
Zhuge Hui looked at the vanishing figure . Raising her head, she stared at the crescent in the sky .
…
At the highest place in the Cottage, there was also a person lying quietly on a rocking, drinking . It was a slovenly old man in ragged clothes . As he drank, he listened to the music and seemed to be enjoying himself .
"I'm really glad to be able to hear Ukiyo again in my life," the old man muttered to himself, smiling . His look seemed to have penetrated across time as he recalled the past .
Over 300 years ago, the piece Ukiyo appeared along with the emperors of that generation .
How about now?
