Chapter 2109: His Intention to Accept a Disciple

Ye Futian opened his eyes and gazed across the land. There were seven major Divine Techniques. Now, in addition to Little Ling’s, the village already mastered five Divine Techniques. Namely, the Muyun family, Tie family, Shi family, Gu family, and Little Ling.

Adding on the two techniques encountered by Fang Cun and that youth, all seven major Divine Techniques had been found. They appeared in the village at the same time.

“I’ll go for a walk around the village,” Ye Futian said in a low voice. He then walked away. The others still stood below the ancient tree, comprehending the Way and cultivating. Many of them had some epiphanies in cultivation. However, no one sensed the existence of Divine Techniques.

“Master Ye.”

Right then, a silhouette appeared before Ye Futian.

Ye Futian looked at the figure blocking his way. It was Fang Gai from the Fang family. Before this, he was one of the persons-in-charge of Four Corner Village. Not long ago, he had helped Ye Futian, disagreeing with Muyun Long wanting to banish Ye Futian.

Fang Gai was also the earliest person to speculate that Ye Futian might be an extraordinary figure. He had asked Little Ling about Ye Futian before.

“Head of Fang family,” Ye Futian greeted as he nodded his head slightly.

Fang Cun stood beside Fang Gai. Fang Cun raised his head and looked at Ye Futian, appearing somewhat curious.

“This brat has always been unruly. Now that I know the name of Master Ye, may you help me discipline this brat and take him as your disciple?” Fang Gai asked Ye Futian. He actually wanted Fang Cun to become Ye Futian’s disciple.

This made Ye Futian feel somewhat strange. He said, “The youths in Four Corner Village have Master to guide them.”

Fang Gai continued, “Although Master guides them in their studies and is their teacher in name, he has not truly taken them in as disciples. Now that this brat has begun his journey of cultivation, if he can become a disciple under Master Ye’s tutelage, there will be someone to keep him in check in the future.”

Many people looked over at Fang Gai. Muyun Long had a hostile look on his face. This old fox saw that Ye Futian possessed powerful fate and wanted to get Fang Cun under Ye Futian’s wing. He was ambitious, wanting Fang Cun to inherit Ye Futian’s teachings.

“Actually, Fang Cun is born with extraordinary talent. With the current changes of the rules of Four Corner Village, over time, he will come across a great fateful encounter and become an extraordinary figure. There is no need for him to become my disciple,” Ye Futian said. He did not grant Fang Gai his wish.

Although Fang Gai had helped Ye Futian before, Ye Futian still did not know him well enough. He could roughly guess what Fang Gai’s intentions were for doing so. Ye Futian would naturally not accept disciples so easily.

Seeing that Ye Futian did not agree to it, Fang Gai directly struck Fang Cun’s head with his palm. He scolded Fang Cun and said, “You b*stard. This is what you get for being unruly. Now even Master Ye does not see worth in you. You only know how to waste your time every day instead of cultivating properly.”

Fang Cun looked up at his own grandfather with a confused look. He rubbed his head with his hand. What was going on?

Why was he in the wrong when Ye Futian was the one who did not want to accept him as a disciple?

His grandfather was being unreasonable.

“Fang family does not have any unfilial children like you. If you don’t come across a fateful encounter, don’t even think about coming home in the future,” Fang Gai scolded. Then, he apologized to Ye Futian and said, “This brat lacks discipline. Master Ye, please forgive this unsightliness.”

“This is Senior’s family matter,” Ye Futian said as he walked ahead. Fang Gai slapped Fang Cun in the head again. Fang Cun’s figure tipped forward towards where Ye Futian was headed. After he stabilized himself, Fang Cun turned back and glanced at his grandfather. His grandfather glared at him. Fang Cun could only follow Ye Futian obediently.

Old Ma and Blind Tie were watching over Little Ling and Tie Tou. Ye Futian walked alone through the village. Fang Cun followed behind him quietly. Ye Futian was somewhat speechless. This Fang Gai was practically…

Ye Futian came to a stone bridge. He then squatted there and gazed down at the youth playing below. The youth seemed to notice him. He looked up at Ye Futian, somewhat avoiding Ye Futian’s gaze. He seemed afraid of strangers.

“What is your name?” Ye Futian asked.

The youth hesitated to answer and lowered his head. He seemed very nervous.

“Master Ye is asking you something. Why do you hesitate?” said Fang Cun to the youth. The other party glanced at Fang Cun. Then, with his head lowered, he answered softly, “My name is Duo Yu.”

“Duo Yu?” exclaimed Ye Futian with a strange look.

“Mmhmm,” replied the youth as he nodded his head. “That is what the villagers call me.”

“Come over here,” said Fang Cun. Duo Yu seemed somewhat afraid of Fang Cun. He walked forward timidly. He mustered his courage to look at Fang Cun. Fang Cun glared at him and said, “Why are you acting like a girl when you are a boy? You keep hiding away from others all day. Do you truly consider yourself unnecessary?”

The youth lowered his head again. He was unnecessary.

“Master Ye, this fellow is usually like this. He is very timid. Don’t mind him,” said Fang Cun.

Ye Futian nodded his head slightly. Although Fang Cun was unruly and had a strong sense of personality, he had a good heart. He was completely different from Muyun Shu. The first time Ye Futian met Fang Cun was when Fang Cun blocked Little Ling and talked bad about Ye Futian. He did not have a good impression of Fang Cun. However, having met Fang Cun a few times, his impression of him had changed.

“What are you thinking about? This is Master Ye.” Seeing that Duo Yu was standing there stunned, Fang Cun was so agitated that he leaped down beside Duo Yu and slapped him on the head.

“Master Ye,” Duo Yu greeted Ye Futian.

Ye Futian nodded his head. He looked at Fang Cun and saw Fang Cun smiling at him. Ye Futian thought to himself that this brat was as sharp as his grandfather. Seeing that Ye Futian had come looking for Duo Yu, Fang Cun must have figured out something as to why he had done so.

“Is he usually so stiff and overlooks etiquette?” asked Ye Futian as he put on an expressionless face. He pretended that he was somewhat unhappy about this as he coldly uttered this sentence.

When Fang Cun saw the look on Ye Futian’s face, he quickly added, “No, no… Master Ye, please don’t misunderstand. Duo Yu’s backstory is rather unfortunate. He has been an orphan since he was young, growing up together with the villagers. Hence, he is more withdrawn. Due to some matters with the elders, many people are also prejudiced against him and gave him the name ‘Duo Yu.’ People got used to calling him that over time. This fellow has been an introvert since he was young and does not talk much. However, he definitely isn’t being impolite on purpose. He always helps out in the village and treats each family as his elders. Now, most people in the village like him. It is just that his name has yet to be changed.”

Duo Yu still stood with his head lowered, not saying a word. Fang Cun had been the one talking all this while. As he looked at the two polar opposite youths, Ye Futian smiled.

Although there were people like Muyun Shu in the village, overall, the people here were still rather simple. Fang Cun and the youth before him now were such people. When Muyun Shu saw that Tie Tou and Little Ling were cultivating, he wanted to prevent them from awakening. However, although Fang Cun was also a little frivolous and domineering, he still managed to figure out why Ye Futian came looking for Duo Yu and wanted to speak up on Duo Yu’s behalf. From this, Ye Futian could see how different Muyun Shu and Fang Cun were.

“Bring him up,” Ye Futian said.

“Alright,” Fang Cun answered with a grin. He then patted Duo Yu and said, “Aren’t you gonna thank Master Ye?”

Duo Yu did not understand why he had to do so, but he still said to Ye Futian, “Thank you, Master Ye.”

Ye Futian nodded his head. He then turned around and walked off. Fang Cun dragged Duo Yu along. Duo Yu was still somewhat fearful. He did not know why Ye Futian wanted him to follow along.

Right then, Ye Futian thought that teaching the Way here and guiding these simple fellows in their studies and cultivation like Master was also an interesting proposition. If he ever wanted to rest, this would be a good place to do so.

At that moment, Ye Futian actually had the urge to accept disciples.

Although he had accepted disciples before, he had been very utilitarian about it. This time, he did not think much of it. He rather liked these four youths.

Little Ling, Tie Tou, Fang Cun, and Duo Yu. These four kids had no ulterior motives. Each one of them was different. Once they inherited the Divine Techniques, what would their futures be like?

As for Muyun Shu, in Four Corner Village, he was replaceable!
