Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Ye Tian Yun grabbed Zheng Xiang's hands and brought him to the side.

He then whispered to him, "What kind of bloodline is this? I have never heard about it, even in the Middle Heavens!"

Zheng Xiang shrugged, "I don't know. I am sure no one in my clan knows either."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun suddenly remembered something, "Ah yes, you are adopted."

"Yeah," Zheng Xiang nodded, "Wait, how do you know I am adopted? I never mentioned that… or did I?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "You did mention it when you talked about your meeting with your clan league and your cousin that day."

"Oh…" Zheng Xiang remembered the incident.

He had gone to join the Zheng Clan's League but was humiliated by his clanmates because of his low talent and his past of being adopted.

'Maybe I talked about this with Fang Chen. Anyway, this is not important.'

"Brother Fang," Zheng Xiang asked after removing useless thoughts from his mind, "I thought you would know something about it. I am pretty sure this is related to my birth parents. After all, the Zheng Clan of the Silver Mist City is just a simple clan."

Ye Tian Yun nodded. Indeed it was a simple clan. If they had such a good bloodline, they wouldn't have been simply fighting to become the top clan in a small city.

"As I said earlier, I have never seen such a bloodline or heard of it. Maybe you're the only descendent of your bloodline, or maybe you're just an anomaly. Too many things could have happened."

Zheng Xiang lightly nodded, "But I am sure my adoptive father must know something about this. I don't know why he never mentioned all this to me."

Ye Tian Yun thought about something and said, "Zheng Xiang, I do know of someone who might help you out in this situation. It's just you can't meet him yet. I will ask about this matter from him on your behalf."

"No-no!" Zheng Xiang immediately denied, "Let's not spread this matter. I only said this because you're my only friend and one of the people I consider close to myself."

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Don't worry about trust. The person I am talking about is as trustworthy as me."

Zheng Xiang nodded, "Alright, but don't take my name. We can't risk this matter getting out of hand."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I understand."

"Anyway," Zheng Xiang asked, "Where were you heading to?"

Ye Tian Yun replied, "Martial Book Pavilion."

"Hm? There? Why? Do you want a new cultivation technique?" He asked.

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "No, just want to have a look at the sect rules."

"Sect rules?" Zheng Xiang frowned, "Didn't you get the booklet regarding the sect rules when you joined the sect?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I lost it."

Zheng Xiang began to shake his head and asked, "Which kind of rule are you looking for? I mean, why are you even looking for a rule?"

Ye Tian Yun said, "I need to head back to the Fang Clan. So I want to know the rules regarding that."

"Oh? Rules on leaving?" Zheng Xiang frowned, "You could have asked about it from anyone."

"Hm? Everyone knows the rule book by heart?" Ye Tian Yun was very doubtful of this.

Zheng Xiang shook his head, "No, not the whole rulebook. But the very specific rule that you're looking for. Everyone reads and knows that. After spending a few months in this sect, many get homesick, so they check the rule book to see if there's any way for them to head back home."

"Oh, so, do you know the rules?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

Zheng Xiang nodded, "Yeah. The rules are pretty simple. You will have to give a valid and verifiable reason. However, if the sect is in a special situation, like a lockdown or in a war, your request will be rejected."

"Oh…" Ye Tian Yun nodded his head.

'This is pretty easy. And here I was thinking I would have to take a medical leave or something after getting injured in a fight. Creating an excuse wasn't hard. In fact, I have a good excuse ready-made.'

"Well, this helps a lot," Ye Tian Yun then asked, "What about you? What were you up to?"

Zheng Xiang smiled slightly, "I was going there to meet someone."

"Oh? Your cousin or friend?" Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but ask.

Zheng Xiang slightly squinted his eyes, and after a moment of thought, he asked, "Why don't you come with me? I will introduce you to her."

'Her?' Ye Tian Yun was surprised, 'A girl?'

"Let's go!" Zheng Xiang didn't give any chance for Ye Tian Yun to reject and dragged him inside the chain bridge lift that had coincidentally just arrived.

"Who is this friend of yours?" Ye Tian Yun asked while correcting the robs, which got crumpled because of Zheng Xiang.

Zheng Xiang only smiled, "You will know soon."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "By the way, will you be heading to your clan?"

Zheng Xiang shook his head, "I have no plans as of yet. Maybe in the future, but right now? No."

"Oh," Ye Tian Yun nodded.

Thud!

Soon the lift had begun to move on the chain bridge, and they were heading towards the Base of the First Peak.

"Ahem, Brother Fang…"

Suddenly Zheng Xiang tugged at him with his elbow.

Ye Tian Yun's eyes narrowed at him while asking, "What is it?"

"Cough, ahem," Zheng Xiang cleared his throat once again and asked, "Do you happen to have any more of those pills?"

Ye Tian Yun was surprised for a moment by his request, but then after thinking, he actually found it pretty normal.

After all, as per Zheng Xiang's claim, his bloodline allowed him to increase his cultivation as much as he took in cultivation resources.

'I had an Emblem Sistem… and here, his whole blood is the system. The Kill points are simply cultivation resources for him. Lucky bastard!'

"Yeah, I have a few. Do you need some?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

Zheng Xiang scratched at the back of his head and said, "Ah, how could I say no to you, my dear brother? You can just give me one hundred more pills, and I will suffer, but I won't say no."

"Suffer?" Ye Tian Yun gave him a disdaining look, "And one hundred pills? Do you think those pills grow on trees?"

"Haha, I am just joking, Brother Fang. But if you have some spare, please consider lending a few to me. In return… in return, I will help you out in small troubles."

"Small troubles?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "What kind of troubles?"

Zheng Xiang smiled, "I am sure someone must have challenged you for your cultivation abode? Right? I can help you clear that trash out of the way."

Ye Tian Yun rolled back his eyes, "That's just a random disciple; he's not even worth considering as small trouble. Anyway, if you want to help me out, then I won't object."

"Alright then, it's a deal!" Zheng Xiang smiled.

Thud!

Just then, they had reached the First Peak.

"Let's go!" Zheng Xiang said, "I will bring you to my wi… new friend!"
