Long Huan's body slammed onto the ground, shaking . He wasn't hurt . Ye Futian couldn't hurt him much in the Dragon Clan . But if he could choose, he wished that today wouldn't happen .
He'd completely humiliated himself today .
He'd mocked Ye Futian's music as little tricks and wanted to advise Ye Futian . But he ended up being destroyed . Ye Futian played carelessly but defeated him .
He wanted to compete in martial arts, but it was even worse . He couldn't even take a hit .
Do you even qualify for martial arts? Those words slapped him strongly . He was a Dragon Master from the Dragon Clan, but he'd embarrassed himself so much before a study attendant . He had lost all face .
Everyone at the banquet stared at them . Their hearts pounded wildly . Study attendant? Little tricks? Who now still doubted whether Ye Futian had helped Long Ling'er?
Even Long Ling'er herself couldn't believe this . She'd only listened to Ye Futian play a few songs and he'd taught her the Dragon Master music . She didn't think Ye Futian would be so powerful .
"Brother Futian," Long Ling'er called softly . She felt guilty . Ye Futian was so extraordinary, but she'd made him into a study attendant and had him get humiliated at the Dragon Clan . She felt bad because this was all due to her stubbornness .
Right now, Ye Futian turned towards Madame Long and bowed slightly . "Madame, today I only came to return the Celestial Pavilion's badge and stayed because it was Ling'er's birthday . I didn't want to be humiliated, so I had to prove myself . I'm sorry if I caused any disturbances . "
"No, I'm not strict enough with my juniors . It isn't your fault . " Madame Long looked at the handsome youth before him . She couldn't find anything wrong with Ye Futian's words . Long Huan had asked for this beating and it was good to teach him a lesson .
"Thank you for your understanding," Ye Futian said, bowing . "I won't disturb you any longer . Goodbye . "
"Ling,'er," he continued . "I'm going now . I'll move out of the Celestial Pavilion and we'll see each other if fate allows it . This has nothing to do with you . Don't be sad . " Ye Futian smiled at her .
Hearing that he was going to move out and thinking of how people told him before to leave, Long Ling'er felt that Ye Futian had been wronged . Her eyes reddened and said to the crowd, "Since you didn't come genuinely anyway, let's just stop this birthday celebrating . You don't have to pretend anymore . Just go . "
With that, she walked out and jogged to Ye Futian . Grabbing his arm, she asked, "Brother Futian, you won't stay with me anymore?"
Ye Futian looked at her teary eyes and felt a headache . He knew this girl was a good actress, but he really couldn't stand the puppy eyes…
The Dragon Clan were shocked too . The princess' relationship with Ye Futian was better than they'd thought .
Ye Futian looked over at Madame Long . She just smiled and nodded, so Ye Futian also smiled wryly . He'd just beat someone from the Dragon Clan . Was this okay?

"I'll spend some more time with you . " Ye Futian patted Long Ling'er's head .
"Yay . " Long Ling'er's eyes brightened immediately . She looked up at Ye Futian and giggled . She was very silly and naïve . She took Ye Futian away, ignoring the Dragon Clan .
Madame Long looked at everyone and asked quietly, "Are you satisfied now?"
Everyone looked down . With Madame Long's intelligence, she obviously knew what they were thinking . They'd wanted to make a scene over this, but sadly, Long Huan had lost too badly . It was too humiliating .
"If your attitude is still like this, there's no need to waste time for another visit . Go back now . Act as if nothing has happened . You cannot mention it or cause trouble for him," Madame Long said .
Long Huan was already up . Madame Long said they couldn't mention it, but many people in the Dragon Clan would still know . He was still embarrassed .
Everyone rose, bowed, and retreated . The crowd quickly dispersed . Madame Long glanced at Long Ling'er and shook her head, smiling wryly . "Oh, that girl . Long Mu, spend more time with Yunxi . You young people should talk well . "
"Okay . " Long Mu nodded .
"I'll go check Mr . Feng . " Madame Long left with a smile, clearly giving Long Mu a chance with Gu Yunxi .
They obviously could tell too . Gu Yunxi smiled and asked, "What do you think about him?"
Clearly, she was asking about Ye Futian .
"You're skilled in music . The artistic conception is nice . I'm sure he's quite talented . As for martial arts, it's hard to tell from that simple exchange . Long Huan is good, but he's not the best in the Dragon Clan . But if he can defeat Long Huan, he must be quite good too," Long Mu said .
"Yes . " Gu Yunxi nodded . She thought back to Ye Futian's brilliance while he played . He'd performed three songs . Did he really write those brilliant songs?
…
Long Ling'er dragged Ye Futian back to her room, but Ye Futian asked, "Ling'er, who was the woman beside your mother?"
Long Ling'er froze and then glared at Ye Futian . "You think Sister Yunxi is pretty, don't you . Do you like her now?"
"Where do you get those ideas?" Ye Futian knocked against her head . "Didn't she say that she would give you a song? That was the song I sold, so I'm curious . "

"Oh, then that's coincidental . But it's bad that there's such a beauty before you, but you think of someone else . " Long Ling'er's fierce expression was quite cute . Ye Futian was speechless .
"Yes, she's a beauty, but it'll be a few years for you," Ye Futian said, smiling .
"I knew you don't have good ideas . Sister Yunxi is the daughter of the Gu Clan and a famous beauty . She's cultivating at the Starry School and likes the guqin . When my uncle was alive, the two families wanted her and my brother to get married . But we don't talk about it anymore . "
"Understood . " Ye Futian nodded .
"Do you really have thoughts?" the girl asked cautiously .
"How come you're so gossipy?" Ye Futian was speechless .
"I'm jealous . " The girl pouted . "The piece she gave me is better than your gift . "
"I…" Ye Futian stared at Long Ling'er . "She bought that . Does it count?"
Her logic…
"I don't care . You have to give me something better," the girl said, clutching Ye Futian's elbow .
Ye Futian wanted to hit his head . His head hurt . He shouldn't have stayed .
"Or at least give me something similar . " Long Ling'er shook his elbow . "Brother Futian, you can't give up your sister for a beauty . Brother Futian, can you be a brother? You have to keep visiting me after leaving . "
Now, Ye Futian realized what the girl was doing . She was scared that he would leave forever, so she tried to keep him here .
Seeing Long Ling'er look at him with beautiful and innocent eyes, Ye Futian softened . "Okay, I'll give you a song, but don't tell anyone other than your parents that it's from me . "
"Okay . " Long Ling'er nodded .
Ye Futian's ring flashed and a copied score appeared in Ye Futian's hands . He handed it to Long Ling'er . "Learn it well and comprehend as much as you can . Don't force it . "
"Okay . " Long Ling'er clutched the score and giggled . Looking at Ye Futian, she said, "I know that you're the best . "

"You suck too," Ye Futian mumbled . He lost to a little girl .
"Who else?" Long Ling'er asked playfully .
"Your aunt," Ye Futian said .
"Auntie must be pretty," Long Ling'er said .
"Of course . She's the prettiest girl in the world . She's my wife, after all," Ye Futian said proudly .
Long Ling'er giggled . "Brother Futian, you're so self-conceited . "
"It's called confidence . " Ye Futian patted Long Ling'er's head . "Alright . I gave you the present and now I'm going back . Go spend time with your mom . "
"Then, this…" Ling'er held the Celestial Pavilion's badge .
"Put it away . " Ye Futian smiled and turned to leave .
Long Ling'er looked at his back, not wanting him to leave . "Brother Futian, I'm going to look for you tomorrow . "
"You're so annoying," Ye Futian muttered .
"I'll annoy you to death . " Long Ling'er smiled brightly .
Not long after Ye Futian left, a woman stopped him and bowed . "Mr . Ye . "
"Who are you?" Ye Futian asked .
"My lady said that your music is worth more than what you've received . She has a private courtyard in the Divine Sky City and wishes to give it to you," the woman said . She looked somewhere and Ye Futian followed her eyes . He saw a beautiful woman standing there . She smiled and nodded .
Afraid I have nowhere to live? Ye Futian thought . Then he smiled and shook his head, "Thank your lady for me . However, the music is worth more than this, but those who truly understand its value will treasure it more . "
With that, Ye Futian walked away . He didn't accept the gift .
…
After Ye Futian left, Long Ling'er took out the music . She discovered that the piece was very difficult . She couldn't play it even after many tries .
Seeing her immersed in it, Madame Long didn't disturb her . She just watched quietly . Mr . Feng stood beside her .
"What piece is that?" Madame Long asked . "It seems very hard . She's tried so many times . Is she bad at comprehending it?"
"I don't know . Ling'er isn't bad at comprehending . " The elder shook his head and listened quietly .
As Long Ling'er practiced more, she could play one part haltingly . The elder's expression grew serious .
"What's wrong?" Madame Long asked after seeing his serious expression .
"Listen closely . " The elder closed his eyes . Long Ling'er kept trying with a serene smile . She was immersed in it .
But then, the elder flashed and appeared before Long Ling'er . Madame Long followed with a shocked expression .
Long Ling'er looked up and said in confusion, "Grandpa Feng, Mother . "
"Ling'er, what song is this?" the elder asked .
"I don't know . " Long Ling'er shook her head .
"Can I see it?" the elder asked . Long Ling'er hesitated .
"Ling'er," Madame Long called . What was wrong with her?
"Grandpa Feng, you have to give it back," Long Ling'er said .
The elder nodded and took the music score . His expression grew even more serious and he even shook uncontrollably .
"Mr . Feng . " Madame Long was a bit shocked . "Is the song very special?"
"Madame . " The elder put down the score and looked at her . "If I'm not wrong, this should be one of the top ten songs of the Divine Prefecture—Ukiyo!"
