Chapter 4: We should keep our distance.

  More than half a month passes by in a blink of an eye. On this day, the twin Ye brother and Yu Sheng walked down the mountain and returned to Qingzhou Academy.

"He's finally back after hiding for so long."

"The Fall Quarter Examinations are in eight days. He probably won't be able to hide even if he wanted to."

Many people in the academy whispered to each other when they saw Ye Futian. What had happened in Qin Yi's lecture class had spread far and wide. The "legend" who had not broken through to the next plane in three years had taken advantage of Sister Qin in public and then flirted with Feng Qingxue. Ye Futian's name was now very well-known in Qingzhou Academy.

"It seems like someone is looking for trouble with me." Ye Futian's hearing was even sharper now. He could even hear people talking in low voices.

"What do you think?" Yu Sheng looked at him sympathetically. Both Qin Yi and Feng Qingxue were very attractive and popular in Qingzhou Academy. Ye Futian had taken advantage of two beautiful girls in one day. How could there be a lack of people looking for trouble with him?

"It's okay. You and him are here anyway." Ye Futian shrugged, while pointing his thumb towards Ye Huang.

"Count me out. I don't like trouble." said Ye Huang.

"Can you deal with it yourself now?"Yu Sheng asked.

"I have to keep a low profile." Ye Futian swaggered forward with his hands behind his back. Yu Sheng was speechless at the annoying figure in front of him. Ye Huang who was walking at the side suddenly extended his right leg in front of of Ye Futian.

The abrupt action caused Ye Futian to stumble on his leg, and fall with his face bumping first onto the ground.

"Gah."

Ye Futian hurriedly stood back. His nose was red from falling on the ground.

"Ye Huang! What did you do that for? Are you trying to ruin my face?"

"I thought you said you want to stay low just now." Ye Huang replied without showing any guilt.

Three tick mark appeared on Ye Futian's forehead. He said, "It seems like you are trying to challenge the dignity of your elder brother."

"You mean shameless brother right."

"That's it. Come, let me show you the fruit of my training."

"I am already at the peak of the Unmaker Plane."

"..."

Ye Huang's words came like a cold water, poured on Ye Futian's head, preventing him from having any thought of fighting Ye Huang.

"Just you wait. I will be able to surpass you soon." Ye Futian tried to give some retort.

"Yeah right. I will be waiting then." Ye Huang said with a single.

While the Ye brother's bickered with each other, some people appeared in the distance, and walked in their direction. These people are all official disciples of Qingzhou Academy. There are two group of people in the entourage, which were from the School of Martial Arts and the School of Sorcery.

The School of Martial Arts of Qingzhou Academy consisted of the Battle Tower, the House of Swordsmen, and the Knight Division. The School of Sorcery consisted of seven palaces.

"Brother Mo Lanshan, a three-star Glory Knight, and Brother Han Ye, a two-star Glory Mage of the Metal Element. They're here at the same time." Someone recognized the leaders of the two groups, and his heart trembled slightly. He immediately understood why the two groups had come.

Really, what a great honor!

In the courtyard, Ye Futian who just a moment ago bickering with Ye Huang looked at Yu Sheng, who was standing in front of the two groups. He had a faint smile on his face. Yu Sheng had always been standing behind him. His brilliance could not be hidden, and he would become even more dazzling in the future.

Earlier in the lecture hall, Senior Sister Qin Yi said that Yu Sheng did not need to participate in next year's Spring Quarter Examinations, and that he could choose either the School of Martial Arts or the School of Sorcery. At that time, Ye Futian wondered if the higher-ups would take the initiative to recruit him.

"You can leave now," Mo Lanshan said calmly. Of course, Ye Futian knew that out of the three of them in the courtyard, Mo Lanshan was talking to him. Ye Futian smiled and walked out of the courtyard without a care in the world.

Many people had gathered outside the courtyard. There were thousands of outer sect disciples in Qingzhou Academy, but the number of people who were recruited by the academy as inner sect disciples could be counted on two hands. Naturally, there were many people who were jealous of Ye Huang and Yu Sheng.

"Ye Huang and Yu Sheng is about to become an official disciples of the academy, but that guy was about to be kicked out. What a joke." Seeing that Ye Futian was alone, the crowd did not bother to lower their voices. There were many people in the academy who did not like Ye Futian.

"Even his twin brother is more brilliant than him. Are they really a twin?"

"That is up for a question." another youth said, as if questioning the blood relation between the Ye brothers.

"Instead of worrying about me, why don't you think about yourselves and how you're going to deal with the upcoming Fall Quarter Examinations? If you perform badly, you'll lose face," Ye Futian said casually as he leaned against the wall.

"What an arrogant tone."

"He won't be that arrogant when he fail the upcoming examination."

Ye Futian just closed his eyes. He could not be bothered to listen to the voices. Not long after, some people walked out of the courtyard. It was the knights led by Mo Lanshan. They walked past Ye Futian. Then, Mo Lanshan stopped in his tracks.

"Between you two twin brother, are you the elder one?" Mo Lanshan asked calmly. He did not turn around, and no one knew where he was looking.

"It is." Ye Futian nodded.

Mo Lanshan paused for a moment. A second later, he continued asking, "I heard that Yu Sheng's father is a steward in your family?"

"Yes," Ye Futian nodded again.

"Being born in the secular world will indeed restrict one's vision. Fortunately, as you grow older, you will naturally understand that you are not from the same world. The more arrogant you are now, the more humble you will be in the future. You will not even have the right to look up to those who have crossed paths with you in the past," Mo Lanshan said coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, he started walking again and his figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

From the beginning to the end, he did not even look at Ye Futian. It was as if he did not care.

Ye Futian looked at Mo Lanshan in confusion. He believed that Yu Sheng would not make a decision without asking for his opinion. If Mo Lanshan knew about the relationship between him and Yu Sheng, why did he still mock him? It seemed that they had never crossed paths before.

As for Ye Huang, that odd guy certainly not like someone who belittle his family. So, he is definitely will reject such arrogant guy.

The people from the Palace of Sorcery also came out. Han Ye looked at the disappearing figures, then looked at Ye Futian. He smiled and said, "You even dared to flirt with Senior Sister. You have guts."

"Uh …" Ye Futian was speechless. This matter had already spread to the official disciples of the academy?

"Mo Lanshan is a member of the knights of the Palace of Martial Arts. Even though Qin Yi is cultivating in the House of Swordsmen, she is still cultivating in the Palace of Martial Arts," Han Ye left these words behind and left. Ye Futian's eyes flashed. Suddenly, his heart was like a mirror. So that's how it is.

…

There were seven days left until the Fall Quarter Examinations. Early in the morning, the bell rang in Qingzhou Academy.

Many people walked out of the side courtyard and gathered in the same direction.

Every year at this time, Qingzhou Academy would gather all the outer sect disciples in the outer sect gymnasium to make announcements about the Fall Quarter Examinations. At the same time, it was also a review before the Fall Quarter Examinations.

At the moment, the lecturers of the outer sect had already arrived. Qin Yi was wearing a tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her voluptuous figure. She attracted the attention of many people. The Ye brothers and Yu Sheng also saw her.

"Senior Sister Qin." Ye Futian walked straight towards Qin Yi, his eyes sparkling. No wonder a Glory Knight like Mo Lanshan would insult a nobody like him with her looks and figure.

Qin Yi's face darkened when she saw Ye Futian. "Where have you been these past few days?"

"I've been cultivating, of course," Ye Futian said. "Since I promised Senior Sister Qin, of course I have to work hard to pass the Fall Quarter Examinations."

Qin Yi saw that Ye Futian did not seem to be lying. Her expression softened a little. If she could really motivate him to work hard, as long as he did not do too badly in the Fall Quarter Examinations, she might be able to ask the academy to give him more time.

"Have you entered the Refinement Plane?" Qin Yi asked.

"Senior Sister, I've entered the Divine Plane." Ye Futian nodded seriously.

However, Qin Yi's expression turned cold when she heard this. She glared at him. She had wanted to plead for him at first, but now she believed him.

"Pfft …" Someone beside them laughed. Ling Xiao was standing nearby. He looked at Ye Futian and said, "Senior Sister Qin Yi, why bother with someone like him?"

"Ye Futian, there's really no time. If you still want to stay in the academy, then spend the next seven days working hard to enter the Refinement Plane." Qin Yi was a little disappointed. Thinking back to the talent test three years ago, she felt that it was such a pity.

Ye Futian seemed to be able to sense Qin Yi's feelings. A bright smile appeared on his face. At least Qin Yi really hoped for the best for him.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I won't let you down." The corner of Ye Futian's mouth curled into a proud smile. The morning sun shone on his handsome face. It was a beautiful sight.

Qin Yi's heart warmed. She heard Ye Futian say, "Senior Sister, don't forget what you promised me."

"You're really …" Qin Yi stomped her feet in anger. She turned around and walked away. After all, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl.

Many people were mesmerized by what they saw. Then, they looked at Ye Futian angrily. There was also a hint of jealousy in their eyes. They were probably jealous that Ye Futian could joke around with Qin Yi, even though it was shameless …

On the other hand, Ye Futian was feeling a little depressed. He said to Yu Sheng, "Why doesn't anyone believe me when I tell the truth?"

Yu Sheng looked at him, speechless. From the Qi Condensation Plane to the Divine Power, who would believe that?

"Maybe you are a great swindler in your previous life." said Ye Huang, showing a contemplating look on his face.

"Swindler your mom. I think you are someone who like to seek death in your previous life."

"That's correct. How did you know?"

"..." Ye Futian didn't know how to reply to Ye Huang. He stopped caring about his twin brother, and looked at Yu Sheng.

"Next spring, we will officially enter the academy. Should we help Feng Qingxue?" Ye Futian asked.

Yu Sheng looked at Feng Qingxue at the distance and nodded. If she could cultivate with Ye Futian, Feng Qingxue would have a chance to enter the Mysterious Plane before next year's Spring Quarter Examinations.

Ye Futian also saw Feng Qingxue and walked towards her. But when he got close to Feng Qingxue, someone blocked his way. It was Feng Qingxue's good friend, Murong Qing.

"What do you want?" Murong Qing asked coldly.

"I'm looking for Feng Qingxue," Ye Futian smiled.

"I know. If there's anything, you can say it here," Murong Qing said.

Ye Futian looked up and ignored Murong Qing. He looked at Feng Qingxue and said, "I have something to say to you."

"You can say it here." Feng Qingxue avoided Ye Futian's eyes, as if she did not dare to look him in the eye.

"Qingxue, what do you mean?" Ye Futian asked.

"Don't you understand? It means that Feng Qingxue doesn't want to be too close to you. Be careful," Murong Qing said coldly.

Ye Futian's pupils contracted. His eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he was very serious. But Feng Qingxue did not look at him.

"Forget it," Ye Futian said softly as his brows relaxed.

"Futian wants you to cultivate with him in the future," Yu Sheng suddenly said from the side. His eyes were just as sharp.

Ye Futian was stunned. He looked at Yu Sheng. He was not a talkative person, but at this moment, Yu Sheng seemed to be very angry.

Feng Qingxue looked up and saw Yu Sheng's sharp eyes. She called out timidly, "Brother Yu Sheng."

Many people looked over. Ye Futian wanted to invite Feng Qingxue to cultivate with him? Ridiculous. This guy was dreaming. But it was Yu Sheng who said it, so no one dared to interrupt.

"I know that Feng Qingxue respects you, but do you think Ye Futian is worthy of her cultivating with Ye Futian?" Murong Qing asked Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng did not even look at her. He ignored her words and continued to look at Feng Qingxue. "I want to know what you think."

Feng Qingxue clenched her fists. Her body trembled. She looked at Yu Sheng and then at Ye Futian. She shook her head seriously and said, "Brother Yu Sheng, we are both adults. We should keep our distance."
