The Legend of Futian - Chapter 1084

Chapter 1084: Summoned by the Queen

On the mountain, Ye Futian came to the Cottage Villa. There, a quiet figure sat cross-legged, eyes closed, cultivating. The wind swept through and caressed her long strands of hair. It was Yaya; she had already woken up.

Ye Futian walked next to Yaya, only to see her opening her eyes. The breath from her body was still not as steady as before.

“How are you?” Ye Futian asked.

“Fine, it is just that the cultivation of these few years has been wasted. I need to start from the first level of the Saint Plane,” Yaya whispered as if she did not mind it at all. The battle with Cao Kong, with her recovered realm, was not enough to stop Cao Kong of the Nirvana Plane; the only way was to return to the peak. This battle had cost her dearly. Her cultivation in recent years had been destroyed.

Ye Futian sat next to her and handed a storage ring to her.

“What?” Yaya looked at him and asked.

“You cultivated the power of the Great Path in space. These are the great path fragments with space attributes. They should allow you to speed up your cultivation,” Ye Futian said.

Yaya looked at him and said, “Save it for your cultivation.”

“You worked to accomplish your comprehension for a long time. The only thing left is just the realm. It would be faster used on you.” As Ye Futian was saying this, he reached over and took her hand, then placed the storage ring in her palm. “Otherwise, if you encounter similar situations again, could you still count on me?”

Looking up at him, she saw Ye Futian smiling while closing her hand and whispered, “Focus on cultivating, we need you in the future.”

As he was speaking, he stood up and left. When he turned around, his eyes suddenly became cold. There was news from the outside that Xiao Sheng had colluded with Emperor Li’s Realm. If so, he truly deserved to die. Even though he blocked Xiao Sheng’s way, it was ultimately to contribute his power to the battle of the Empty Realm and help Emperor Xia’s Realm to win the battle. If Xiao Sheng wanted to get him out of the way, he could have done it in the open; there was no need to find a pretext or resort to colluding with Emperor Li’s Realm.

Who else was deserving of death if not Xiao Sheng?

Of course, this whole thing seemed somewhat odd. If Xiao Sheng had really gone to the enemy and colluded with Emperor Li’s Realm, why would such news suddenly come out? With the background of the Xiao Clan in Emperor Xia’s Realm, few in Emperor Xia’s Realm would dare spread such news at will, because once found out by the Xiao clan, they would not easily let it go without retribution. Unless Li Yao had done it intentionally? If so, what was his motivation? Deliberately inciting the conflict between himself and Xiao Sheng, thus offending the Xiao clan, who stood at the top of the Emperor Xia’s Realm?

The Xiao clan was royalty. If he touched Xiao Sheng, then Li Yao’s purpose was accomplished, and he knew that Ye Futian would feel compelled to do so. This was also why the plot was insidious and extremely nasty. But even if he knew all that, could he just let Xiao Sheng go?

For now, it was better to wait and see. After all, Xiao Sheng’s status needed to be considered, and Xia Qingyuan was already investigating the matter. He would not be impulsive and push boundaries. Otherwise, it would only create embarrassment for Xia Qingyuan.

Whoosh. Ye Futian let out a heavy breath and felt a little depressed. He felt that although Xiao Sheng was guilty, there was little hope for Xia Qingyuan to execute him for it; it could even be said to be nearly impossible. After all, he was the grandson of Xia Qingyuan’s maternal grandfather, the son of her uncle, and the nephew of her mother, Queen Xiao.

With all these relations involved, with layers upon layers of blood and kinship, even though Xia Qingyuan had the power as a princess, she was equally subjected to constraints. Punishment was likely, but execution was difficult!

After Ye Futian left, he went to visit Senior Brother, Knife Saint, and the others to check on their recovery.

…

When Ye Futian was thinking about all this, Xiao Sheng’s father, Xiao Qianhe, had already entered the palace with Xiao Sheng to visit Queen Xiao, who was also Xia Qianhe’s sister.

After they entered the palace, Xiao Qianhe had Xiao Sheng explained everything in detail. Naturally, he understood that this thing could not be concealed. Although Queen Xiao was his sister, she was also the Queen. If he dared to deceive the Queen, the consequences would be dire still. To admit guilt and ask for forgiveness was counting on his aunt, not wanting to execute her nephew.

Scrutinizing this incident, although Xiao Sheng was a bit foolish, the fortunate thing was that even though he was being used, he never really had any contact with Li Yao. Therefore, it could be said that he was merely borrowing an advantage from Li Yao. It was true that he wanted to kill Ye Futian, but ultimately it failed, and Ye Futian and the others were safe in the end. But being defeated like this, when Xiao Qianhe left the palace. His face was cold as ice. Xiao Sheng bowed his head without saying a word, knowing that his future was probably over.

At this time, inside the palace, Xia Qingyuan came to the personal quarters of Queen Xiao. She looked at her mother and asked, “Uncle was here?” Obviously, she already knew that Xiao Qianhe and Xiao Sheng had been there.

“Your uncle wanted to see you, but I know you weren’t in the best of moods, so I didn’t let him and Xiao Sheng go to you.” Queen Xiao looked at her daughter and whispered with a laugh, “Are you still worried about this?”

“There are rumors that Xiao Sheng colluded with Emperor Li’s Realm,” Xia Qingyuan said.

“Do you think your cousin would be that stupid?” Queen Xiao said to Xia Qingyuan, “Think about his status. Colluding with Emperor Li’s Realm? Even if he had killed Ye Futian, what kind of crime would that be?”

“These past years, I have understood the thoughts of your uncle and your cousin, but I’ve let you have your way. You are just like your father, and you have your mind, so I rarely interfered with your decisions. Xiao Sheng is anxious for fame and glory, and perhaps he was jealous of the position that Fu Ye Futian occupied in your heart and felt that Ye Futian robbed something that should have belonged to him, so he wanted Ye Futian dead. But how would he have dared to cooperate with Emperor Li’s Realm? It was only the people of Emperor Li’s Realm who took advantage of his feelings.”

Queen Xiao continued, “Just now, your uncle and Xiao Sheng came over and explained everything he did. Someone did send him a message saying that you would be attacked. He probably also wanted to achieve his objective, so he sent away the people you sent to Ye Futian. In any case, Xiao Sheng would never dare to do anything that would hurt you. Otherwise, even if your uncle were here, begging, I would have killed him myself.”

Xia Qingying was silent. It was all just as she had expected. Indeed, her mother had never interfered with any of her decisions, and everything was always decided by herself. But the ties of blood were, after all, unable to be severed. Her uncle had come personally to plead, and her mother still chose to speak on behalf of Xiao Sheng.

“Tell me, Qingyuan, is Ye Futian important in your heart?” Queen Xiao asked.

Xia Qingyuan looked up at Queen Xiao, remembering that the few times when she first saw Ye Futian. She had always disliked this self-righteous guy. However, after the fight at the imperial mausoleum when she lost to Ye Futian, she had also acknowledged his strength. And with everything that happened later, she gradually started to recognize and even accept Ye Futian. Thus, Ye Futian’s position in her heart had changed quietly. This change did not occur overnight.

Seeing Xia Qingyuan’s silence, Queen Xiao smiled and said, “Sending people to investigate the Xiao clan without nary a care for your grandfather’s name just to clear the air for him?”

“The battle for the Empty Realm was made possible by him. Emperor Xia’s Realm won control for the Empty Realm for the next ten years without a drop of blood. And not long after that victory, an assassination attempt was made on the single most important person. Now, Xiao Sheng is rumored to have conspired with Emperor Li’s Realm. As the leader in the battle for the Empty Realm, how can I not fully investigate the matter and give everyone involved an explanation?” Xia Qingyuan said, “If the whole thing ended like this, it would have a chilling effect on everyone.”

Queen Xiao walked up to Xia Qingyuan. She smiled softly and looked at her daughter. “Qingyuan, you are all grown up now. Are you still going to wear men’s clothing? It is time to return to your femininity.” She knew just how beautiful her daughter was. She also knew that her daughter was lonely. She had a noble birth, Emperor Xia’s youngest daughter, who was talented and beautiful, was deeply adored by her father. Since childhood, whoever spoke to her, was always careful and full of respect. Among her peers, no one dared to look at her, even those proud sons of Emperor Xia’s Realm.

Ye Futian was the anomaly. It was said that he had absolutely no regard in front of her daughter. But his talent was also not any less than that of Xia Qingyuan. Perhaps his appearance made Xia Qingyuan feel that she was not so lonely after all; that in this world, there were still people like her. Therefore, Ye Futian had come to take a certain position in her heart.

“Mother…” Xia Qingyuan looked at Queen Xiao and knew her mother was trying to change the topic.

“Arrange a meeting and ask Ye Futian to come to the palace for me to meet him,” Queen Xiao said lightly to Xia Qingyuan. Last time at her father’s birthday banquet, she had seen him once, and he had left an impression on her.

“Don’t investigate your grandfather’s side anymore. Your uncle would not dare deceive me,” Queen Xiao continued. Xia Qingyuan sighed. It seemed that her mother was getting involved personally to mediate the matter. However, knowing Ye Futian’s temper, how could he accept it? She was very clear about how stubborn that guy was.

…

Meanwhile, at the Cottage, a messenger sent from Emperor Xia’s palace delivered the message that Queen Xiao had summoned him. Ye Futian immediately understood that the Xiao clan had contacted the Queen, and it was pretty much the same as he had expected.

Queen Xiao was the first beauty in Emperor Xia’s Realm, the favorite of Emperor Xia, and the mother of Xia Qingyuan. The power she had could only be imagined.

Xia Qingyuan launched an investigation on Xiao Sheng, and now there were rumors that Xiao Sheng had conspired with the enemy. It was only natural that the Xiao clan had asked the Queen for help.

Since Queen Xiao had summoned him, it was apparent that it was for this matter. However, for Queen Xiao to personally summon him showed the high regard she had for him. Otherwise, as the bodyguard of the Princess, if Queen Xiao had issued an order, what could he do, and what did he dare to do?

In the Villa, many people came to Ye Futian, even Knife Saint, who had not yet fully recovered. He looked at Ye Futian and said, “Futian, the Queen had summoned you. You must take care not to offend her. I know you can’t let go of this thing with Xiao Sheng, but it can wait. Don’t cause friction with the Queen.”

Knife Saint was thinking about Ye Futian. Emperor Xia and the Princess were both good to Ye Futian. If there were friction between Ye Futian and Queen Xiao, this would not be most ideal for Ye Futian.

“Senior brother, don’t worry, I know what to do.” Ye Futian sighed in his heart. Because of Xiao Sheng, his Senior brother was seriously injured, but now he was advising him to hold his temper!
