The large group of people advanced towards a certain direction on the dragon .

Ye Futian was somewhat unhappy . The girl in front was forcing her way on the road, causing the passers-by to give way, which was extremely overbearing . However, the passers-by seemed to have guessed her identity . They were not angry and only watched the scene . After all, it was usually difficult to see the girl . Nobody expected her to appear in the central region of Divine Sky City .
"Sir, how do I address you?" a middle-aged man beside Ye Futian suddenly asked .
"Ye Futian . "
"Mr . Ye, I'm really sorry for this," the person apologized . "The lady was punished by her mother and is therefore in a bad mood . I hope that you will not blame her . Later, perhaps she will offend you again . Take this as a compensation . "
The person took out a ritual implement which was in the form of a shirt . Then, the middle-aged man deliberately activated the implement, causing it to release a faint radiance . Ye Futian felt its powers; it was actually a noble-level defense ritual implement .
This caused a strange expression to appear on Ye Futian's face . It was really odious to compare with others .
Ye Futian was unwilling to stay in an expensive inn and was even despised by the lady in the inn . On the other hand, the middle-aged man just took out a noble-level ritual implement casually .
"Senior, what kind of person do you think I am?" Ye Futian said emotionlessly, but he had already taken over the ritual implement . Then, he added in a serious tone, "However, because she is young and immature, I will not blame her for this . "
Noticing that Ye Futian had accepted the ritual implement, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Thank you for that . If the lady is rude in the future, please forgive her . I will compensate you again . "
Ye Futian's rolled his eyes and said, "As long as she does not cross the line . " At the moment, he was thinking that he would tolerate it even if she crossed the line . He was poor, after all, and it was actually a profitable trade .
"Although the lady is somewhat capricious, she usually will not cross the line," the person said to Ye Futian, smiling . With their status, they did not have to be like this . However, there were rules in the family . If the girl behaved lawlessly outside and offended many people, they would still be punished . Therefore, he had to handle everything for the girl . Moreover, if the girl kept behaving recklessly, one day it would bring a disaster to the whole family, so he should take care of such issues quickly . In the future, it would be better for the madam to restrict the lady more . After all, she was about to become a young adult and should not throw tantrum when in a bad mood .
Divine Sky City West Court was an extremely famous place in the city .
At the moment, Ye Futian and the others arrived at this place and entered West Court directly . In West Court, the scenery was beautiful and elegant with many well-arranged buildings and courtyards . In addition, there was a small hill with one side of it flattened . There was a waterfall coming down from it and also pavilions on top of the hill . The whole place looked like a fairyland .

If Ye Futian did not see it for himself, he would not have believed that it was a manor in a city . It looked like the scene on a mountain .
Ye Futian and the rest walked to the foot of the waterfall and looked up at the hill, where there was an elder sitting down cross-legged . There was a teapot before him and he was drinking the tea at the moment . Not far away from him, there was also a guqin . It was clear that he was a person of refined interests .
"Grandfather Feng," the girl shouted at the elder . At the moment, the elder had already stood up . Smiling, he said, "Hey you're here . You haven't been here for quite a while . "
"Well, I am now . Grandfather Feng, how have you been?" the girl said in a gentle tone . The overbearing attitude she had outside was completely gone .
"I'm fine . Come up here," the elder said . The girl nodded gently and rode the ice dragon up the waterfall, after which she walked up to the elder .
"You've grown for quite a bit . That time when you came here, you were still a child . In the blink of an eye, you're almost a big girl," the elder said with a kindly look . "I heard that you are unhappy with your mother's arrangement?"
"Grandfather Feng, I do not mean that . I only do not want to leave home to cultivate," the girl said in a pitiful tone .
"You'll experience it sooner or later . You're going to go back anyway . How far can it be when it is also in Divine Sky City? Furthermore, West Court is also your home, so stop thinking about it . You should not waste your talents," the elder said .
"Fine," the girl nodded .
"Go . You have been here a few times . Go and choose a place yourself . If you have any problems, come and find me," the elder added . The girl nodded gently and left the hill . Glancing emotionlessly at Ye Futian, she said, "Follow closely . "
Ye Futian widened his eyes at the girl, but thinking of the ritual implement, he did not say anything . A great man would not argue with children .
West Court was extremely large . The girl picked a courtyard where the scenery was fantastic, while the people who accompanied her would stay in the courtyards just beside . Ye Futian felt somewhat speechless . He felt totally insignificant at this place .
Just then, the girl seemed to have noticed him . A quirky expression appeared on her still immature face as her eyes sparkled . Realizing that the girl was staring at him, a strange expression appeared on Ye Futian's face . Why did the girl order her men to bring him here?

"How did I offend you?" Ye Futian asked, looking at the girl .
Raising her head, the girl looked at Ye Futian and said, "Why did you laugh just now?"
"Is there a problem with that?" Ye Futian said, looking at the girl . "Do you not laugh?"
"I don't care . If I say there is a problem, then there is one," the girl replied capriciously .
"I . . . " Ye Futian wanted to curse but stopped when he saw the middle-aged man beside the girl signaling at him with his eyes .
Ye Futian stared at the middle-aged man as if he was reminding the man not to forget about the compensation .
"Do you know how to play guqin?" the girl asked .
"Yup, a bit," Ye Futian nodded .
"That's nice . You can become my musical attendant . Life wouldn't be that boring in the future . " The girl smiled mischievously, while Ye Futian only had a strange look on his face . Musical attendant?
Very long ago, he had heard this word . Someone in Cangye wanted him to become a musical attendant . However, it was a girl this time . Moreover, it was a rich girl . Just now, the elder had said that West Court was her home . West Court was just as nice as Celestial Pavilion .
The girl looked at the people who had followed her and said, "Alright, you all should go back and report . I'll focus on cultivation . "
"We were asked to take care of your safety," the middle-aged man said, bowing .
"What can happen to me in West Court? I don't need you here . " The girl waved her hand as if she wanted to chase the people away .

The group still did not move .
"Fine, help me to prepare the guqin . Then you can go and rest . " The girl seemed to know that she would not succeed, so she only asked for something less .
A maidservant came and put the guqin in the courtyard, while the middle-aged man folded his hands and brought the people away, leaving only two ladies to take care of the girl . Of course, Ye Futian and the dragon were also left behind . The ice dragon was coiled up and resting, appearing to be somewhat lazy .
The girl sat down before the guqin, after which she started playing alone . The music spread and was actually quite skilled . However, it seemed to be somewhat messy, clearly demonstrating that the girl was not focused . The girl also knew that she was playing the piece poorly . Annoyed, she stroked fiercely across the strings with her fingers, after which she stood up . Throwing down the guqin, she returned to her room .
A strange expression appeared on Ye Futian's face . He walked up and touched the guqin lightly . The sound from the guqin was extremely clear and the reverberation was still audible . It was certainly a very rare guqin .
"How long do I need to stay here?" Ye Futian asked the maidservant beside him . Although he had received something, he would not stay here forever . The girl had a weird character and Ye Futian did not have time to keep following her .
"It's going to be the end of the year soon . At the start of next year, the lady will enter Starry School to cultivate . Hence, the latest you will have to stay is until the start of next year," the maidservant replied . Ye Futian nodded gently . Without him realizing it, another year was about to pass .
"There's a small courtyard there . I apologize for this . " The maidservant pointed in a direction . Ye Futian nodded, after which he went to the small courtyard to practice his boxing and cultivate .
At night, the bright moonlight poured down and illuminated West Court .
Ye Futian was still practicing his boxing skills in the courtyard . Even though he had been brought here in a ridiculous way, he must not fall behind in terms of cultivation .
Suddenly, he heard some music that was very different from the disorganized one in the music . The music now was very penetrating and influential . It could actually cause its listeners to feel somewhat sad as if they could feel the grief in the musician's heart .
Ye Futian stopped practicing and an even stranger expression appeared on his face . Music was a display of one's mental state . Was it really the girl who was playing the music? He did not really believe that .
Then, Ye Futian walked to the other courtyard, when he saw a young girl sitting down quietly under the moonlight . She looked pure and flawless and was playing the guqin under the moon .
The music changed continuously . It sometimes sounded joyful, as if she was filled with happiness, and sometimes sad, making it seem unpredictable .
Does she have a story at such a young age? Ye Futian thought, looking at the girl . The music continued and became increasingly arousing . Unknowingly, Ye Futian had already approached the girl and stood there, listening quietly to the music .
The music became more and more sorrowful . In the end, it made its listeners feel as if they were heartbroken .
Under the moonlight, tears filled the face of the girl . She actually started crying without realizing it .
Finally, the music stopped, but the artistic conception still remained for a long while . Ye Futian still seemed to be immersed in the reverberation . After a while, he said, "You are so young . What do you know about grief? Why are you playing such a sorrowful piece?"
"Why would I not understand it? Do you?" The girl widened her eyes at Ye Futian .
"Of course," Ye Futian replied .
"Have you ever experienced separating from the person closest to you?" the girl asked .
"Yup," Ye Futian replied emotionlessly . He had experienced partings several times .
"From what I heard just now, both of your parents should still be alive right?" Ye Futian asked in doubt .
"Yes," the girl said slowly . "Once, there was a hero . He was friendly and kind . At home, he always had a smile on his face . Outside, he was very famous and everyone knew him . He was the most popular person in the Eastern Region of the Barren State . When I was young, he always liked to hug me and tell me that I do not need to work hard and can do whatever I like, as long as I am happy every day . With him present, I can live a glory life and nobody would bully me . "
Ye Futian stared at the girl . Just like what he had expected, the girl had a rich background .
"Later, he died . " The girl sounded very low-spirited . After she said this, she started crying again .
