Chapter 435: Talent

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Ye Futian heard Wang Yuqing’s words, he could feel his head hurt. Back in Wang Family, Wang Yuqing thought that he was going to join the Top Three Schools and had always been viewing him as a junior. As a disciple of the Top Three Schools, Wang Yuqing had an invisible form of arrogance around her. When she talked to him, her tone was also very commanding.

At the moment, when she saw him in Celestial Pavilion, she still had such an attitude. This caused him to be somewhat speechless.

Beside him, Long Ling’er maidservant asked, “Who is she?” She was somewhat puzzled; she had seen Ye Futian’s behavior in West Court. He was no weaker than Long Ling’er and had brought her under complete control. Long Ling’er had been affectionately calling him “Brother Futian” since then. Now, he was actually verbally attacked by a young lady. Moreover, the lady seemed to be somewhat arrogant, as if it was only natural that she scolded him.

“A friend of mine,” Ye Futian said, giving a bitter smile.

“Who’s your friend?” Wang Yuqing said coldly. “If my grandfather didn’t ask me to take care of you, I wouldn’t have even brought you to Divine Sky City. However, my grandfather was actually wrong about you. What a pity that he actually had great hope for you.”

“Everyone has their own lives. If he wants to degrade himself, it’s his business. Yuqing, why do you have to be angry?” Jiang Nan who was beside her said, smiling. Many people who were eating in the Fairy Pool looked in this direction and seemed to be interested in what was going on.

Ye Futian felt even more speechless. He gave her some spirit stones when they arrived at Divine Sky City precisely because he did not want her to think that she had helped him. He did not want to owe her anything. However, Ye Futian was still mindful about the relationship with Wang Family. After all, the leader of Wang Family had been really good to him and so he did not want the relationship between Wang Yuqing and him to become too bad.

“Since we’re not friends, please stop talking about my business.” After Ye Futian said that, he walked away.

“You...” Seeing Ye Futian’s attitude, Wang Yuqing’s face turned even colder. Then, she added, “What an ungrateful person.”

“Yuqing, I already said that you’re not even from the same world. You don’t have to talk to him. There is no need to be angry with such a person,” Jiang Nan consoled.

“That’s right. We came here to celebrate. Don’t let this ruin your mood,” another person beside them said.

“Yeah but when I think about how my grandfather was so hopeful for him, I still feel angry,” Wang Yuqing said. “At first I hoped that he would at least put in some effort. The year is going to end soon and he still has the chance to enter the Top Three Schools next year. If he can really enter, I don’t mind taking care of him. But now... Forget it. What does it have to do with me?” Then, she shook her head.

“Come and try this dish. It’s made from Flame Ganoderma and can benefit people who have fire-elemental talents.” Jiang Nan smiled and helped Wang Yuqing to fill her bowl. It was good that Wang Yuqing could see for herself what kind of person Ye Futian was. Jiang Nan disliked Ye Futian all along; he was but a frog in the well which was slightly good-looking.

In the other direction, Ye Futian and the group had already stepped into the villa area.

Shen Yu who had had her head lowered also raised her head and looked curiously at Ye Futian. She wondered what kind of person Ye Futian was exactly. When she saw him for the first time, he could not afford to stay in Celestial Pavilion but still wanted to keep up his appearances. When she saw him for the second time, he was accompanied by a maidservant of the princess of Dragon Clan. Clearly, he was a person under Long Ling’er. However, not long ago he was humiliated ridiculously as if he was only an insignificant person who had a bad history. Was he actually someone who had managed to seek connections with the powerful?

“If you keep staring at me like this, I will misunderstand your intention.”

Ye Futian looked at Shen Yu, grinning. Shen Yu was stunned, after which she blushed and turned her eyes away from him. This guy is really thick-skinned, she thought. But he’s indeed good-looking.

The group came to a particular courtyard, which was the best one in Celestial Pavilion. Many people were already here.

Long Ling’er was lecturing the other people in the courtyard. Realizing that Ye Futian had arrived, she smiled brightly and ran to Ye Futian. “Brother Futian, why are you so slow? It’s so boring!”

Then, she held Ye Futian’s arm. Immediately, countless people stared at Ye Futian. The people who had taken over Celestial Pavilion were all from the Dragon Clan. Seeing that Long Ling’er was actually so close to the young man before them, they were petrified at once.

Since when was the little devil so easy to deal with?

Shen Yu looked at Ye Futian with astonishment written all over her face. She knew clearly who the little girl was. Even the previous owner of Celestial Pavilion could only lower his head before her and greet her politely. The dragon girl from the Dragon Clan was, without any exaggeration, one of the most powerful young girls in Divine Sky City. She was the only child of her parents in the Dragon Clan, and also the favorite person of the talented previous leader of the Dragon Clan.

The relationship between the dragon girl and Ye Futian was actually so good. Just before this, Ye Futian was actually humiliated by a lady.

“Stop.” Ye Futian widened his eyes at Long Ling’er. Is she trying to kill me? It’s alright to mess around in West Court, but here...

“Mr. Ye,” Yang Xing, who was in front, shouted. Then, he said to the rest, “In the future when you work in Celestial Pavilion, you’ll all listen to Mr. Ye’s orders. He’s the new owner of Celestial Pavilion.”

Many people were somewhat shocked. When they heard that Long Ling’er bought Celestial Pavilion to give to someone as a gift, they were already very surprised. They did not expect the person to actually be so young.

Shen Yu was bewildered once again. The person who could not even afford to stay in Celestial Pavilion the last time had become the new owner of the place.

“Why are you not greeting the owner?” Long Ling’er pointed her finger at the crowd.

Immediately, everyone bowed and shouted, “Greetings, Mr. Ye.”

“Mr. Ye, if you have anything to tell them, please do,” Yang Xing said.

Ye Futian turned around and said to Loulan Xue, “Loulan, come here.” Loulan Xue walked up, also feeling somewhat surprised. Ye Futian was brought away by force and in addition to staying safe, he actually managed to form such a good relationship.

“In the future, she’ll be in charge of Celestial Pavilion. Just listen to her orders,” Ye Futian said.

“Yes, Mr. Ye,” everyone nodded.

“Shen Yu,” Ye Futian shouted. Shen Yu was stunned and she raised her head to look at Ye Futian. Why was Ye Futian calling her?

Smiling, Ye Futian looked at her and said, “Shen Yu, you have been working in Celestial Pavilion in the past. In the future, you’ll help Loulan to manage the things here.”

Hearing Ye Futian’s words, Shen Yu was totally puzzled. She blinked her eyes, not really understanding what was going on. She had only been a receptionist in Celestial Pavilion. At the moment, Ye Futian was asking her to manage Celestial Pavilion. Was he joking?

Noticing that Shen Yu was staring blankly at him, Ye Futian smiled and said, “What? Are you not willing to?”

“Of course I’m willing...” Shen Yu shook her head and asked anxiously, “Are you being serious?” She stared firmly at Ye Futian as if she was scared that he was only joking.

“Do I look like the kind of person who lies?” Ye Futian replied, smiling.

“You’re not lying to me?” Shen Yu’s eyes turned red immediately and she seemed to be very excited. She was worried that Ye Futian was teasing her deliberately because of the event that had happened last time.

“If you’re not willing to, forget it,” Ye Futian said with a serious expression.

“I’m willing to!” Shen Yu quickly said. Only then, Ye Futian smiled.

Shen Yu’s heart pounded fiercely and she could not remain calm. She had been working here and naturally knew what kind of place Celestial Pavilion was. If she could manage Celestial Pavilion, she’ll certainly become successful in her career. But she still felt that the whole chain of events was very dramatic.

Ye Futian decided to choose her because he needed a person who was familiar with Celestial Pavilion to help Loulan Xue. Although Shen Yu had mocked at him before, she did not have any malicious intentions. Instead, she was quite innocent. It was clearly better for Ye Futian to choose someone who was pure and simple.

Of course, the main reason was that Shen Yu looked quite pretty when she smiled...

“Uncle Yang, another thing,” Ye Futian said, looking at Yang Xing. “Can you ask them to keep this a secret?” As a person who always kept a low-profile, Ye Futian did not like to attract too much attention.

“Alright,” Yang Xing nodded, after which he told everyone about it. Then, he asked the rest to leave, leaving only Shen Yu at the place.

“Loulan, have you finished what I told you to do?” Ye Futian asked.

“Yes,” Loulan Xue nodded.

“If you need any cultivation resources, just go and get the best,” Ye Futian said, smiling. It felt really good to become rich over one night.

What was their goal of coming to Divine Sky City? It was to cultivate and become stronger. Since they had the resources of Celestial Pavilion at the moment, they would clearly invest them into cultivation.

“I understand,” Loulan Xue nodded.

“She’s your...” Long Ling’er extended her neck and looked at Loulan Xue.

“Maidservant,” Loulan answered. There had already been a few misunderstandings in the past.

“Wow, Brother Futian you’re awesome.” Long Ling’er looked at Ye Futian in admiration. Even his maidservant looked so charming.

“Let’s go and eat together.” Ye Futian noticed the strange look from Long Ling’er and was somewhat speechless. The girl was only so young. What was she thinking about?

“Alright!” Long Ling’er giggled, after which she grabbed Ye Futian’s arm and pulled him outside. Ye Futian turned around and said, “Settle your meal yourselves.”

Yang Xing and the people beside Long Ling’er all followed her, leaving behind Yu Sheng and Ye Wuchen who could only watch them leave.

“That’s amazing.” Yu Sheng’s face was also filled with admiration. It seemed like there were no females whom Ye Futian could not deal with.

Ye Wuchen who seldom spoke also muttered, “It’s a talent.” Yu Sheng nodded seriously. It was indeed a talent.

Long Ling’er and Ye Futian walked out of the courtyard. Still holding Ye Futian’s arm, Long Ling’er said, “Brother Futian, do you want to consider joining Starry School with me? I’ll buy the other two inns which are as famous as Celestial Pavilion for you.”

“If I go there, how do I cultivate?” Ye Futian widened his eyes at Long Ling’er.

“I’ll bring you with me,” Long Ling’er said.

“Bring me?” Ye Futian was speechless. Then, he moved Long Ling’er hand away and said, “You’re the princess of Dragon Clan, and I’m your musical attendant. Mind your image outside.”

“I don’t care about that,” Long Ling’er said, indifferent.

“The fact that you don’t care doesn’t mean that other people don’t as well. Moreover, if the people in your family find out that you have given Celestial Pavilion to me, they’ll definitely not ignore it,” Ye Futian said.

“But you have taught me many things,” Long Ling’er said naively. “That’s much more important than Celestial Pavilion.”

“Other people will not think in this way.” Ye Futian rubbed Long Ling’er head and added, “Listen to me.”

“I got it.” With her hand, Long Ling’er made a funny face at Ye Futian.
