Ye Futian played the guqin for a long while before he stopped. He sighed with a particular sadness. He felt empty deep inside after his fox was gone.
"Stop your fake sadness. The City of Qingzhou belongs to East Sea Prefecture, and the City of Donghai is the capital. You can get there simply by sailing through the East Sea, and I don't believe that you don't know this." Hua Fengliu looked at Ye Futian and said, "I know you'll leave once you reach the Glory Plane. With your talent and effort, it would be several months at most. Don't tell me you have no interest in this."
"Uh..." Ye Futian blinked his eyes and looked at Hua Fengliu. "As much as you already know, could you please just save me some honor? To reveal my plan like this makes me sound like a horrible person."
"How far did you go last night?" Hua Fengliu asked Ye Futian with a smirk.
Ye Futian felt really embarrassed and stressed. He had finally realized there was a difference between a professor and a father-in-law. Apparently, Mr. Hua was transitioning between the two roles smoothly.
His embarrassment actually made Hua Fengliu laugh. He told Ye Futian, "Just stay here until you reach the Glory Plane. You'll make it soon."
"Sure, Pro- father-in-law." Ye Futian understood Mr. Hua's plan. Now his professor was supervising him on behalf of his girlfriend, and the only way to regain freedom was to reach the Glory Plane.
"You glib-tongued boy," Hua Fengliu smiled at him and said, "I will teach you the songs I gave you before."
"Yes, sir." Ye Futian nodded. Since this man was going to be his father-in-law, there was no reason not to obey his orders.
Time passed by and the students of Qingzhou Academy came back to school after the break. Yu Sheng went to Mr. Hua's place to look for Ye Futian. Sometimes they went to Mount Tianyao for cultivation, sometimes they practiced songs in the yard.
One day, Ye Futian was sitting in the pavilion with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he felt that something was happening in his soul. He focused and all the fire-element Spiritual Qi of the universe gathered into a scarlet form around his body.
It was dusk, and the orange sunlight fell on his body. Ye Futian started freedom meditation to perceive the vast essence of the universe. Soon after, constant flames concentrated over his body. It was not merely just Spiritual Qi at all. In fact, it had taken solid form, and the space around Ye Futian was turned into flaming territory.
"Now his Spiritual Qi comes into form." Hua Fengliu happened to pass by and noticed the new progress made by Ye Futian. He smiled, genuinely pleased and proud.
Ye Futian opened his eyes. He laughed and mumbled, "That's the Glory Plane of Sorcery for me."
"Professor," he greeted Hua Fengliu.
"Since you have reached a new level of sorcery, the next step should be to break through in your martial arts," Hua Fengliu smiled and told him, then gave Ye Futian a letter. "Hua Jieyu sent it."
"Fox sent me a letter?" Ye Futian's eyes twinkled. He snatched the letter and could not wait to open it.
The letter said, "You lecherous boy, I dare you not to flirt, or even talk, with other girls while I am away. I know it's just unfair to you that I had to leave. But I promise you that when you come to Donghai city, I will compensate you for everything, big time."
"Compensate me for everything?" Ye Futian felt excited about this "everything." He could not stop thinking about Hua Jieyu's beautiful face and her curvy body that he saw the night before she left. In fact, he almost wanted to leave now.
