The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2110: Reputation

Ye Futian brought Fang Cun and Duo Yu along as he walked around the village. He then headed over to the ancient tree.

A villager saw this and shouted over, “Duo Yu, why have you come running over here as well?”

“Aunt,” Duo Yu called out as he glanced bashfully at Ye Futian, who was ahead.

“Maybe our little Duo Yu might have talent in cultivation. Master said that everyone in the village can cultivate in the future,” an old man said with a smile. “I wonder whether an old bag of bones like me can still cultivate or not.”

“It might be possible. After you start cultivating, you might become a handsome young fellow,” said someone playfully to the side. People started commenting one after another. When Ye Futian saw this scene, he felt that the village was indeed simple. Although what they said could not be believed, and they were just joking, he could feel the villagers’ warmth toward Duo Yu.

“Everyone seems to like you quite a lot,” Ye Futian said to Duo Yu, who was beside him.

Duo Yu scratched his head. He did not know how to respond. Beside him, Fang Cun replied, “Duo Yu was raised by many villagers. He was brought up by the joint effort of the villagers. This fellow is also obedient. Many villagers like him.”

“Hmm,” Ye Futian replied as he nodded his head. “Go call the other fellows in the village.”

Fang Cun blinked and responded, “Alright, I’ll be off then.”

As he said this, Fang Cun went off to call them over. Among the youths of the village, Fang Cun’s position was very high aside from that of Muyun Shu, who could not be compared to. As a descendant of the Fang family, Fang Cun also bore an air of authority. His ability to summon people was not ordinary.

Not long after, a group of youths clustered around Fang Cun as they walked over and came before Ye Futian. Fang Cun shouted, “Aren’t you all going to greet Master Ye?”

“Nice to meet you, Master Ye.” Most of the youths could not cultivate before this. They all looked curiously at Ye Futian. They did not know why Fang Cun had gathered them over.

Was Master Ye also called Master?

Could it be that his abilities were on par with that of Master?

“Let’s go,” said Ye Futian as he nodded his head. He then led the youths forward. When the villagers saw this scene, they were somewhat surprised. What was Ye Futian doing?

It felt as though he was the ringleader of a gang. A group of children followed behind him.

Even Xia Qingyuan and the others were stunned. Little Condor’s large eyes blinked. Since when had Boss changed personalities? He no longer preferred beautiful women and now wanted to be the leader of a group of youths?

The outsiders also revealed strange expressions. What was he doing?

Many people followed them. Their group once again came to the ancient tree. There were already many people cultivating and comprehending the Way here, including the outsiders. The people there heard some noise. When they opened their eyes, they saw Ye Futian and his group of youths. Some people frowned. What was this fellow doing?

Some people also revealed looks of interest. They watched Ye Futian with curious gazes.

“Uncle Ye,” Little Ling called out to Ye Futian. She then looked behind him and felt that something was strange.

“Hmm,” responded Ye Futian with a smile. He then turned and said to the group of youths, “Master has said that the people in the village may have the chance to cultivate now. Before this, an ancestor of Four Corner Village came to me in a dream. The ancestor once cultivated and comprehended the Way beneath this tree. Hence, I call it the ‘Path-seeking Tree.’ If you have nothing else to do, sit beneath the tree and comprehend the Way. You might have the opportunity to awaken to your abilities. Remember, you must be sincere when doing so. Your ancestors told me this in a vision. If one day is not enough, spend two days at it. If two days is not enough, spend ten days or half a month. Your ancestors also cultivated in such a manner. Do you understand?”

“Hmm...” The people around him revealed different expressions. The outsiders and the cultivators in the village did not believe Ye Futian’s words. The ancestor came to him in a dream and gave him a vision?

Such utter nonsense. Even if the ancestor came to someone in a dream, he wouldn’t find an outsider.

This fellow was purely making up stories.

However, why was he tricking these youths? Could it be that he knew that this tree was indeed extraordinary? Before this, he had been the one who brought Little Ling to the tree, resulting in Little Ling awakening to her abilities.

Many of the villagers did not think too much about it. They mostly believed what Ye Futian said.

As for the youths, they were all nodding their heads. How could they possibly know any better? They would take other people at their word.

“Aren’t you all going to thank Master Ye?” Fang Cun said to them. The youths immediately complied with his orders.

Ye Futian looked at Fang Cun. This rascal was a sly one.

“All of you, sit down and cultivate here. If there is anything you don’t understand, ask Little Ling, Tie Tou, as well as Fang Cun,” instructed Ye Futian. The youths nodded their heads and then found spots to sit down.

Ye Futian revealed a satisfied expression and then left.

After he left, many of the youths whispered to one another. Someone asked Little Ling, “Little Ling, how do you cultivate? Can you teach me, please?”

“Yeah, teach me as well,” requested many other youths as they came forward.

“Off with you. Go cultivate on your own. Don’t disturb Little Ling,” said Tie Tou as he stood and blocked off Little Ling.

“Oh, Tie Tou, you are so protective of her,” Fang Cun said with a smile.

“Fang Cun, mind your own business,” Tie Tou said as he looked at Fang Cun.

“Master Ye has instructed us to listen to him when he is around. When he isn’t, you all should listen to me,” Fang Cun said as he tilted his head upward.

“Did Uncle Ye say that?” countered Tie Tou with a look of dissatisfaction.

“If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask Master Ye?” Fang Cun retorted.

“It’s alright, Tie Tou. Let’s listen to Elder Brother Fang Cun,” Little Ling said as she walked up to them. “I will instruct them.”

“Sister Ling is still the most understanding.” Fang Cun then turned around and said to the group of youths, “Did you see that? From now on, Little Ling is your elder sister.”

“Sister Ling,” someone said in a low voice.

“Why should she be our elder sister? I am older than her,” someone complained.

“Little Ling is the inheritor of a Divine Technique, a person chosen by the ancestors. Are you dissatisfied with that?” Fang Cun challenged as he walked up to the person. The person who had spoken immediately retreated.

Ye Futian, who had walked far away, saw all of this. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. Fang Cun would be extraordinary in the future. He would be a king among children. In the future, these youths would all be subdued by him.

Blind Tie stood guard over them. Old Ma walked up to Ye Futian and said, “When these kids grow up, they will be incredible figures. Fang Cun has some leadership qualities. He is much more impressive than that kid from Muyun family.”

Ye Futian nodded his head in agreement. Muyun Shu was too self-centered and arrogant. He only looked out for himself and was snobbish. People like him were destined to be unable to work well with others. Fang Cun, on the other hand, was different.

“Now that the villagers of Four Corner Village can cultivate, I wonder how it will be after a few decades,” Old Ma continued.

Ye Futian said, “There will certainly be droves of cultivators. A few of these kids are born with the Way. Four Corner Village has always been a special space. In reality, it has always been showered by the Great Path. Master must have done many things. Once these people begin their cultivation journey, they will grow in leaps and bounds.” Once the villagers began cultivating, the sky was the limit.

“Hmm, in the future, the village will merge with the outside world. The youths are the future of the village. You lead this group of youths now. In the future, they will certainly be exceptionally respectful towards you. Why don’t you stay in the village?” Old Ma proposed.

Ye Futian looked at him. Old Ma continued, “Prior to this, I heard people say that you offended many incredible foes in the outside world. Although the village is small, we can still protect you. With Master here, not many people can force their way into the village.”

Ye Futian smiled. Old Ma was looking out for him. Staying in Four Corner Village was indeed not a bad choice.

“I will think about it. However, the Muyun family still wants to banish me from the village. I’ll play by ear,” Ye Futian replied. Old Ma nodded his head.

For the next few days, the youths cultivated underneath the tree obediently. Ye Futian would regularly head over to take a look. Occasionally, he would also sit beneath the tree.

As expected, many of them actually awakened to their talents and were able to begin cultivating. They would encounter surprises every day. This made the villagers very happy. These youths were the future of the village. The older generation had no hopes of venturing out themselves. However, they were certainly happy that the younger generation could cultivate, grow and venture out into the outside world one day.

Gradually, the villagers warmed up to Ye Futian. Their good impression of him improved immensely. Everyone called him Master Ye, and he slowly grew accustomed to such a title.

The village only had one Master before. Now that they called him “Master Ye,” it itself was an immense sign of respect. Fang Gai was the first to call him that. After that, Fang Cun led the youths in calling him Master Ye, and it slowly spread from there.

Fang Cun’s improvement was the most significant. After a few days, Fang Cun experienced an awakening, resulting in divine phenomena appearing and startling everyone.

Today, countless people stood around the ancient tree. They were looking at Fang Cun, who was sitting there. Beams of divine light shot into his body. Around his body, an independent space seemed to form. The space kept shifting and was extremely miraculous.

Fang Gai was naturally overjoyed. He had a beaming smile on his face. He had long sensed that these youths were qualified to experience awakenings. Each generation was improving over the last one. Only now, with Fang Cun’s generation, they finally had the chance to cultivate.

“I succeeded,” said Fang Cun, who completed his cultivation as he revealed a look of surprise. He bowed slightly at Ye Futian and said, “Many thanks, Master Ye.” New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . Fɪre

“This is your own doing. I had no part in it,” Ye Futian replied, shaking his head.

“Master Ye is truly incredible.”

“It seems that Master Ye truly is a person with powerful fate,” the villagers discussed. They revealed looks of sincere respect.

In the distance, Muyun Long watched this scene with a livid expression. The Fang family had also awakened to their abilities. Fang Cun inherited a Divine Technique. The Fang family’s position would improve once again.

Now, the Muyun family already seemed to have no chance of victory.

Ye Futian had only been in the village for a few days. Now, his fame was like the sun in the sky. It already eclipsed the fame Muyun Long had accumulated in the village over many years.

When that happened, it would not be Ye Futian who would be banished, but rather their Muyun family.

He could not imagine what would happen if the Muyun family was banished from Four Corner Village.

“Will they be here soon?” Muyun Long asked Nanhai Qing over transmitted thoughts.

“They will soon be here. The people from the outside world are gradually making their way over to the Four Corner Continent. The members of the Nanhai family will soon arrive,” Nanhai Qing replied. Muyun Long nodded his head. There would be a change in Four Corner Village. Foreign forces would also be arriving. No one knows who would emerge as the final victor at the end of everything. Four Corner Village would certainly belong to him!
