248 Apology
Translator:Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Vicky_ In the Guqin Gardens, a group of cultivators landed mightily. They were the people from the Nangong Family. Today, the Nangong Family was supposed to hold a birthday banquet. However, because of a letter, the banquet was canceled directly. Many cultivators from the Nangong Family forced Nangong Cheng and his son to come to the Guqin Gardens to apologize. However, they did not see Ye Futian and the rest. There were only two maidservants cleaning the courtyard of the Guqin Gardens.
According to the maidservants, the people from the Guqin Gardens had gone to the academy. The people from the Nangong Family could only change their route and head to the Zhen Wu Academy.
The Zhen Wu Academy was in the Divine Capital Ancient City. Although it was inferior to the College, as a cultivation organization in the Divine Capital, it was naturally very powerful as well.
The academy was expansive and majestic. Strolling in the academy, Ye Futian and his team seemed very leisurely.
“Although I have grown up, I still feel somewhat familiar with this place. I miss the past,” Ye Futian smiled and said. There were many schools and academies in the Divine Prefectures of the East, and almost all the larger cities would have them. He had once cultivated in the academies in the city of Qingzhou and the city of Donghai. Therefore, the scene caused him to recall his memories, as if he had returned to the past.
“Do you miss your sister Qin Yi or Feng Qingxue?” Hua Fengliu smiled and said. He clearly knew what Ye Futian did in the Qingzhou Academy.
Hearing Hua Fengliu’s words, Ye Futian looked speechless, then said, “Master, I am only purely a good friend with sister Qin Yi and Feng Qingxue. The thing that I miss the most in the Qingzhou Academy is, of course, getting to know Jieyu and you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the achievements I have now.”
Everyone glanced at Ye Futian as if they were already used to it and did not feel strange.
“Makes sense.” Hua Fengliu smiled and nodded.
“Trainer Hua.” Occasionally on their way, young people would pass by and greet Hua Fengliu and the rest. They were the trainers in the academy and naturally many disciples knew them. It was only that in the Zhen Wu Academy, there was not much respect in the eyes of the disciples. After all, Hua Fengliu and the rest were not very famous. In the Zhen Wu Academy, only the very strong trainers were highly respected. Even Yi Xiang, who was previously the head of the School of the Finance Star in Donghai Academy, was only an ordinary trainer here. Instead, Nandou Wenyin and Tang Lan were more popular.
The group strolled casually in the academy, and Hua Fengliu brought Ye Futian to the academy grounds. There was a large gymnasium where one could cultivate and carry out friendly fights. After that, they went to the lecture zone. The lecture halls in the Zhen Wu Academy were very huge. Some lecture halls were filled with disciples, while others were mostly empty. It depended on whether the trainer was powerful and famous.
“In the Zhen Wu Academy, apart from opening lectures which academy disciples can attend freely, trainers may also take on some personal disciples to teach. Of course, there are also disciples who want to actively follow the good trainers,” Hua Fengliu said.
“Master, don’t you plan to take on a few more disciples?” Ye Futian asked.
Hua Fengliu shook his head gently. At the moment, he no longer had such a thought. In the first place, those outstanding geniuses would not look up to him and worship him as a master. Even if they were willing to, he also did not have such a thought. Although he would bicker with Ye Futian frequently, he had taken this particular disciple as his son-in-law.
“Trainer Hua.” At the moment, a teenage girl ran over and looked at Hua Fengliu nervously.
“Yes?” Hua Fengliu asked.
Clenching her fist anxiously and looking at Hua Fengliu, she said, “Trainer Hua, I want to worship you as my master.”
Hua Fengliu smiled and replied, “If you want to hear my lectures in the future, you can come anytime.”
“No, I am referring to you becoming my actual master. Last time, I mentioned it to you. You should know,” the girl said again.
“I don’t take on disciples.” Hua Fengliu smiled and shook his head. A tinge of disappointed appeared on the face of the girl.
Ye Futian looked at the girl, and then at his master, and blinked his eyes. It seems that the master is still very attractive.
“Holier-than-thou.” In the distance, a cold voice spread out. A lady said to the girl before Hua Fengliu, “Yuqing, I am willing to take you as my disciple.”
The girl looked at the lady and said softly, “Thank you, Trainer Han, but that won’t be necessary.”
“I really don’t know what you are thinking about.” The lady’s age was similar to Nandou Wenyin, and her appearance was quite outstanding as well, although clearly not as good as Nandou Wenyin’s. However, there seemed to be an aura from her body as she glanced at Hua Fengliu and said, “There are many excellent trainers in the academy. Yuqing, why do you need to have such a one-track mind.”
Yuqing smiled bitterly. She always felt that Hua Fengliu was uniquely charming. Although his level was not very high, it felt very comfortable to listen to his lectures.
Trainer Han took a deep look at Hua Fengliu and said monotonously, “Can you stop being so holier-than-thou? In the whole academy, maybe only you few do not take on disciples.”
“I’m afraid that I will mislead them.” Hua Fengliu also did not mind her attitude and smiled.
Trainer Han did not say anything. Hua Fengliu had spoken so nicely. What could she blame him for?
“Girl, there are so many trainers in the academy. Why do you need to be so stubborn?” at that moment, a middle-aged man walked over and said to Yuqing.
“Trainer Mo,” Yuqing called.
“Not many people even go to his lectures, but you want him to become your master? I really don’t know what you are thinking. Isn’t Trainer Han better than him?” Trainer Mo did not look at Hua Fengliu and only said to Yuqing, “Trainer Han really appreciates you. If you become her disciple, I will also teach you when I have time in the future.”
Yuqing’s eyes sparkled as she glanced at Hua Fengliu and then looked at Trainer Han and Trainer Mo. The latter was a rather famous trainer in Zhen Wu Academy and was very strong.
“Since you have advised me, I am willing to learn under Trainer Han,” Yuqing said. Trainer Han smiled and nodded. “Alright. Since you have made your decision, come with me.” After she finished speaking, the few walked past Hua Fengliu. Yuqing looked at Hua Fengliu again with some nostalgia in her eyes.
“Master, why don’t you take any disciples? I feel that it’s not bad,” Ye Futian said softly. Hua Fengliu widened his eyes at Ye Futian and said, “You want me to find a junior sister for you?”
“I…” Ye Futian was speechless.
Trainer Mo and Trainer Han walked on the path in the academy. At the moment, a faint arrogance could still be seen on the face of Trainer Mo. He disliked Hua Fengliu and his team because their levels were not high, yet they thought that they were morally superior.
Trainer Mo said, “Such a hypocritical guy.”
“Even though Hua Fengliu is somewhat arrogant, I don’t think he is hypocritical.” Trainer Han shook her head and did not agree with his opinion.
“With such a level, what does he have to be arrogant about? Do you think he can teach any outstanding disciples? It was only because it was Yuqing. Otherwise, who would want to become his disciple?” Trainer Mo gave a cold humph.
Just as they were speaking, a group of people in front flashed towards them mightily. Seeing the figure who was pale and severely injured, Trainer Han and Trainer Mo’s expressions both changed slightly. Is that Nangong Cheng? Also, he knew the elder at the front. He was an elder in the Nangong Family and had a very high position.
Walking forward, Trainer Mo bowed and said, “Greeting, senior Nangong. What has happened? What happened to brother Nangong?”
“Have you seen Hua Fengliu and his group?” the elder asked.
“I just saw them.” Trainer Mo nodded and felt somewhat strange.
“Where? Can you lead the way?” the elder asked.
“Sure. I am willing to serve you, senior,” Trainer Mo said politely. The Nangong Family was a noble family nearby and had a very huge influence on the academy. However, he did not understand why they were looking for Hua Fengliu. Could it be that Hua Fengliu broke into a conflict with Nangong Cheng and injured him?
Trainer Han was also puzzled. The three turned around and walked back towards the place where Hua Fengliu was at. At the moment, many people from the Zhen Wu Academy gathered and followed them. Many cultivators from the Nangong Family had come mightily and were looking for Hua Fengliu. Why?
Ye Futian, Hua Fengliu, and the rest were still strolling around casually and chatting. It was quite rare that they could be so comfortable, apart from the small episode that occurred a while ago which they did not really mind.
“There.” At the moment, a group of strong cultivators was talking at them from the back. Seemed to have felt something, Ye Futian and the rest turned around and saw the people from the Nangong Family walking over.
“What’s happening?” Seeing Nangong Cheng’s miserable status, Hua Fengliu was somewhat stunned. Just now, Ye Futian had gone out and he did not know what Ye Futian had done.
Very quickly, the people from the Nangong Family approached them and stopped a short distance away. The elder in front glanced at everyone and then looked at Ye Futian.
At the moment, another cultivator came over; it was a senior in the academy who heard that the Nangong Family had come and hurried to the place. Seeing Nangong Cheng, the person from the academy frowned and walked forward to take a look at Nangong Cheng, after which he said, “Who did this?”
“Me,” the elder said.
“Brother Nangong…” The senior from the academy was stunned.
The elder walked forward and said, “Make them kneel.”
“Yes.” The people from the Nangong Family forced Nangong Cheng and his son to walk forward and kneel down on the ground. The two looked at Ye Futian and their faces were as pale as ash. They could not stop feeling regret. How could Hua Fengliu actually have such a disciple?
If they had known earlier, they would not have dared to plan and think about such ideas.
“Err…” The people around were all shocked by the actions of the Nangong Family. The elder from the Nangong Family had forced Nangong Cheng and his son to kneel down before Hua Fengliu. What was happening? Hua Fengliu and the rest were merely ordinary trainers.
Trainer Han and Trainer Mo also looked at the scene, dumbfounded. They felt very confused.
At the moment, the elder from the Nangong Family walked in front of Ye Futian. He folded his hands and said, “I am Nangong Teng. The people in my family are not well disciplined, and these two have been doing much evil outside. Now, their powers have already been permanently destroyed. Mr. Ye, you can punish them as you wish.”
“Nangong Teng?” Some younger people felt astonished. The second most powerful person from the Nangong Family—Nangong Teng—a strong noble, was actually apologizing to an 18-year-old teenager. Moreover, he was allowing Ye Futian to punish Nangong Cheng freely.
Who is this young man? Trainer Han and Trainer Mo froze as they stared at Ye Futian. Does this young man beside Hua Fengliu have any identity? Mr. Ye? There should be no families with the surname of ‘Ye’ in the Divine Capital.
Ye Futian had sent the letter and naturally knew that the Nangong Family would help him settle the issue; however, the fact that the Nangong Family paid such close attention was also unexpected.
“You can just ask my master.” Ye Futian took a step back and stood behind Hua Fengliu.
Nangong Teng’s eyes sparkled and he looked at Hua Fengliu. He had just heard from Nangong Cheng that Ye Futian, whose name had shocked the Eastern Barren Territory, actually had a master who was a trainer in the Zhen Wu Academy.
Nangong Teng folded his hands at Hua Fengliu to salute and said, “I already know what this b*stard wanted to do. He really cannot be forgiven. Mister, how do you want to handle him? I will surely give you a satisfactory answer.”
The people in the academy all looked at Hua Fengliu in shock. Even if Nangong Teng from the Nangong Family was to face the head of the academy, he would also not need to salute him like this. Hua Fengliu is…
Hua Fengliu and Nandou Wenyin glanced at Ye Futian. Did this guy do this on purpose? Now, everyone in the Zhen Wu Academy will probably know about this.
“Nangong Cheng, I know that you had evil intentions and wanted to take something from me. Now, you suffer because of yourself. Why?” Hua Fengliu looked at Nangong Cheng and shook his head. Nangong Cheng’s heart was filled with hatred at the moment.
“Since he’s your disciple, why didn’t you say it?” Nangong Cheng stared at Hua Fengliu in anger.
Hearing his words, Hua Fengliu shook his head. Nangong Cheng meant that if Ye Futian was not his disciple, he would be able to do whatever he wished. Although this kind of person was miserable, he did not deserve sympathy.
“Bring him away,” Hua Fengliu waved his hand and said.
“Chase the both of them out of the Nangong Family. Bring them away.” Nangong Teng glanced at Nangong Cheng coldly. This b*stard actually still does not feel regret. Does he want to drag the family into this?
Someone walked forward and dragged Nangong Cheng and his son away. Everyone was shocked.
Who exactly is Hua Fengliu’s disciple? Trainer Han and Trainer Mo were both not calm. It turned out that Hua Fengliu did have a personal disciple. Furthermore, it was a person whom even the Nangong Family did not dare to offend.
The girl Yuqing looked at Hua Fengliu and then at Ye Futian, feeling very disappointed. Actually, is it because I am too weak?
At the moment, Nangong Jiao walked out from the group and said to Ye Futian, “I am Nangong Jiao. Since you have asked someone to pass the letter to me, you should remember me, right?” She was the star of the Nangong Family, the genius who had entered the College—Nangong Jiao.
She had also come.
“Yeah. I do have some impression.” Ye Futian nodded gently.
“After I received the letter, grandfather started to handle this issue immediately. This had indeed been caused by Nangong Cheng and his son, and the Nangong Family absolutely did not even think about dealing with your master and your sister Tang Wan. I hope that you will believe me,” Nangong Jiao said. Tang Wan glanced at Ye Futian. Since when did I become his sister?
As for the people around, they were absolutely shocked. Not only did the second most powerful person from the Nangong Family come to apologize, but Nangong Jiao, a College disciple, came here personally and apologized for the issue as well.
“This matter will end here,” Ye Futian said to Nangong Jiao.
Hearing Ye Futian’s words, a smile appeared on the face of Nangong Jiao. Her cold and arrogant demeanor was actually very nice when she smiled. Then, she said, “Thank you.”
“Mr. Ye, I am really grateful that you can understand this. If you have any requests, please tell us. The Nangong Family will surely fulfill it,” Nangong Teng folded his hands and said.
“That won’t be necessary. I said that the matter is already over,” Ye Futian said. Only then did the people from the Nangong Family heave a sigh of relief.
Nangong Teng saluted at Ye Futian again and said, “Today, I am really fortunate to be able to see the young genius who shocked the entire Eastern Barren Territory. I believe that in the future, Mr. Ye, you will also become reputed in the entire world just like the eldest and third disciples from the Cottage. I will leave first.” After he finished speaking, he backed away slowly. He turned around, and the people from the Nangong Family left.
However, everyone’s heart trembled as they looked at Ye Futian in astonishment. The person had shocked the Eastern Barren Territory, was a Cottage disciple, and his surname was Ye. Did they even need to guess who the person was?
Ye Futian from the Cottage!
