Ye Futian continued following Little Ling to stroll around Four Corner Village. They came to a street where the houses were grouped densely together. This was Four Corner Street, which was the center of Four Corner Village.

They met many people here. There were villagers as well as outside visitors.

“None of these people from the outside seemed to be simple characters,” Beigong Ao muttered.

“Those who could enter the Four Corner Village are all people with great luck. As far as I know, only those cultivators with perfect Great Path may have such luck. Therefore, the cultivators we see in Four Corner Village are most likely on the same level as Ling He, Yan Dongyang, Goddess Taihua, Jiang Yueli, and Qin Qing. Naturally, all of them are more than meets the eye,” Chen Yi said lazily.

Beigong Ao nodded, but he was still a little confused, asking, “Then, how did I get in?”

“How should I know?” Chen Yi shrugged. “Maybe you are also a person of great luck.”

Beigong Ao glanced at Ye Futian. Since he had gotten to know Ye Futian, he had indeed gone through some great changes. Strictly speaking, he indeed had some great luck.

“Uncle Ye, I will take you guys to the private study,” Ling said.

“Where is that?” Ye Futian asked.

“The place where the teacher teaches. It is a pity that I can’t go there to study.” Ling’s eyes dimmed a little. Ye Futian was a little curious about this teacher already, so he didn’t oppose going to see him.

They walked along Four Corner Street until they came to the end, where a wall appeared. In Ye Futian’s eyes, this wall seemed to be shining with a strange light, glittering with gold.

At the other end of the wall, the voice of preaching could be heard faintly. Ye Futian perceived an unusual aura. He raised his eyes and was able to see through everything with his divine eyes. He saw golden characters appeared in the sky above. It was as if every character had the deafening divine sound of the Great Path within it.

“This...”

Ye Futian’s eyes revealed his shock. This was the first time he had seen such a marvelous sight. Not only him, but the cultivators around him all felt something unusual. Their eyes lit up, slightly surprised.

Who was this teacher teaching in the private study?

“The teacher must be giving some great lecture.” Ling looked forward enviously. At this moment, the rays of light gradually dissipated, and the voice inside stopped, followed by some whispers.

After a few moments, some people started walking out from both sides of the wall. They were a group of youths, some older and some younger. The youngest may have only been seven or eight. It wasn’t a big group, but these young people were probably the ones who possessed the greatest luck of all in Four Corner Village.

Ling had said that she was not allowed to cultivate, and even if she was allowed to cultivate, it might cause trouble later on down the road. This meant that these were all people who had the ability to cultivate. Moreover, they were born with the hidden Great Path and were different from the others. As long as they continued to cultivate, they would all become extraordinary figures in the future.

Ye Futian also discovered an interesting phenomenon. The villagers in Four Corner Village were easy to identify. Most of them dressed plainly in humble clothing, while a few in this group dressed lavishly and appeared different from the others.

It seemed that some in Four Corner Village had close contact with the outside world. Otherwise, there would not have been such luxurious clothing inside the village. It stood to reason that the villagers inside Four Corner Village had different backgrounds, as proven before by the exchange Ye Futian had with the Fang family.

“Ling.” A youth of about 12 or 13 was walking toward them. The boy had an honest but childish face, and he was quite large for his age. Although he was still young, one could see how burly the boy would become. For this reason, he looked more mature than the rest and would probably grow up to be a big guy.

Four Corner Village itself wasn’t extensive, so most people in the village knew each other well.

“Brother Tie Tou,” Little Ling called out with a smile. The young man that was called “Tie Tou” scratched his head, looking particularly good-natured.

“Tie Tou, do you get shy when you see little sister Ling?” the teenage boy next to him joked. These young guys were tender in age but quite precocious.

Tie Tou suddenly blushed as they kidded him and said to Little Ling, “Ling, are they the guests of your house?”

“Mmm.” Little Ling nodded and introduced, “This is Uncle Ye and Sister Xia.”

“Hello, Uncle Ye,” Tie Tou said. He looked at Xia Qingyuan and asked, “Is Sister Xia a goddess?”

Xia Qingyuan was stunned for a moment but then smiled softly and said, “Not at all.”

“How could someone not a goddess be this pretty?” Tie Tou scratched his head and made all the other teenagers laugh.

“Dumb*ss.”

A nicely dressed young boy of the same age spoke up now, which attracted the attention of many. The youth was blessed with good looks, and at a young age, he had a majestic temperament that was rarely seen.

“You are not?” The boy named Tie Tou glared at the other youth.

The youth with the majestic temperament didn’t pay any attention to anyone else but Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan. Although he was young, he didn’t have the slightest fear of strangers, nor was he nervous at all. One could even say that he was scrutinizing Ye Futian and his companions. From this, one could see the arrogance and defiance of the youth.

“My brother said that many cultivators from the outside are like this; the women don’t have to be goddesses to be pretty.” The boy looked at them and continued, “As far as I know, there were two other groups of people that entered the village before them, and one of them was the genius talent Lu Qixing of the Lu family from the Three Layer Continent in the Shangqing Domain, and the other one was An Ruosu. We saw the red maples blooming when we were in the study, and y’all know who had invited those two to their house. No one cared about these people when they entered the village, and that’s why they went to Old Ma’s house. So what’s the big deal?”

The youth who spoke seemed rather keen. Ling hung her head, and though she felt she was being wronged, what the boy said was the truth, so she dared not argue. The boy’s family held extraordinary status in Four Corner Village and was a favorite of the teacher.

In front of the other person, she appeared quite self-conscious.

“I only know that teacher said all visitors who came to Four Corner Village are guests from far away, not at all the buckets of trash that you are talking about,” Tie Tou cursed in a low voice, looking displeased. The youth turned around slowly as he stared at Tie Tou, with an exceptionally sharp look in his eyes.

“I’m not afraid of you if you want to fight.” Tie Tou took a step forward. Even though he was young, there was a curious light that flowed upon his body. Like a wild beast, there was an oppressive force that appeared around him.

Those from outside of Four Corner Village were not allowed to fight, but there was no such ban being placed on villagers.

“Would a blind blacksmith find it fit to fight with me?” The young man responded carelessly, appeared nonchalant, and he didn’t seem to care much about Tie Tou at all.

“You...” Tie Tou felt a sudden rage when he heard what the other had to say. He growled like a tiger. However, at this moment, there were two more teenagers now stood behind the handsome boy, staring at him with a sneer.

“Enough.” A voice came from behind the wall, and though Tie Tou was still angry, he quieted down when he heard this voice. He looked in the direction of the wall and said, “Sir, Muyun is being a jerk.”

“Muyun...” The voice inside spoke again, but before he could finish, Muyun bowed slightly towards the wall, saying, “Sir, Muyun misspoke, please forgive me.”

“Don’t do it again,” said the teacher as Muyun nodded. He gave Tie Tou one last glance and turned to leave. Clearly, he didn’t really think that he did anything wrong. It was only because the teacher had spoken that he admitted his wrongdoing.

Furthermore, he only apologized to the teacher, not to Tie Tou.

Ye Futian had been watching quietly. Obviously, he would not pay much attention to what these youngsters had said. But, he was a little surprised by the attitude of the teacher. The teacher should be someone with high standards, and his words should have great authority. However, he didn’t criticize the boy’s rudeness much but merely chastised him casually. Was this the attitude he had toward the kids from Four Corner Village?

“Ling, take Uncle Ye to my house for a visit,” Tie Tou said to Little Ling.

Little Ling raised her head to looked at Ye Futian. It was then that Ye Futian took his eyes off the wall and smiled at her, and nodded. “Sounds good.”

As they spoke, they turned to leave and headed towards the other side of Four Corner Street.

Not long after, they came to a blacksmith’s shop and saw a shirtless man with messy hair forging inside the shop. The sound of iron being forged could be heard. The man did not stop even when Ye Futian and the others came over, and the sound of iron being struck was rhythmic. Upon listening more closely, the interval between each hammer strike was precise each time, not missing a beat.

After a few moments, and only when the man was finished did he stop. He raised his head in Ye Futian’s direction, and that was when Ye Futian saw his hollow eyes and realized that the man was actually blind.

Only at this moment did Ye Futian realize how nasty those remarks from Muyun were!
