Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Ever since she was little, Bai Qing'er had the special ability to know what the person in front of her was thinking about her.

She didn't know the cause or reason behind this ability, and she didn't tell anyone about it. Well, she once did, but unfortunately, she learned a good lesson about what not to say even to the closest person to your heart.

There had never been anyone whose thoughts she couldn't read… until about two months ago.

She encountered not one but two anomalies - disciples named Fang Chen and Xiao Ming.

She had never met any of them, but surprisingly she couldn't hear their thoughts.

But because of the incidents that transpired on that night, the worry about those two took the last seat in the list of her priorities.

After about a week or so, she suddenly found a guy whose thoughts she could read - unceasingly trying to win her over.

Unfortunately, all his silly tricks and show-offs were seen through by her.

But she didn't push him away because this guy… was different.

He was one of the very few who didn't have any lustful thoughts about her.

This even made her apprehensive about all this.

She wasn't ignorant about her own beauty. In her whole life, fate had made sure that she didn't forget about it. This was why she simply couldn't believe how there could be a person who didn't have lustful or 'trying to one-up himself' thoughts whenever he was in front of her.

This guy was, of course, Zheng Xiang.

She found out from him that his friend Fang Chen was in cultivation seclusion, and she didn't know anything about Xiao Ming, and due to Zheng Xiang's persistence, her heart finally softened a bit.

On one fateful day, he brought her to a new restaurant that was now gaining fame for its delicacies.

A supposed normal day took a surprising turn when she encountered someone else whose thoughts she couldn't read.

This person came to her and even flirted with her.

But the feeling he gave her was different from Zheng Xiang.

Zheng Xiang's words felt very sincere, while this person's flirting was full of playfulness.

Young Master Gao.

This was his name.

Bai Qing'er couldn't feel any ill will from him, but she always had her guard up because the inability to read this person's thoughts gave her a sense of insecurity.

After all, she had relied on this ability for her whole life. She had never thought there would be people who could be exceptions to this.

Sometimes, just because in a short span of time, she had encountered three people on whom her ability didn't work, she guessed maybe her ability was now going away, and she was losing it.

And today, two of those three people were sitting right in front of her.

Fang Chen and Gao Xuan.

Looking at the bickering between the two, she couldn't help but wonder if they had known each other for a long time? 

"By the guys, is any one of you planning to go for Sect missions?" Zheng Xiang asked in a loud and pressing voice, dousing the arguments between Ye Tain Yun and Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan glanced at Zheng Xiang and shook his head, "I have a lot of matters to attend to. Haven't you heard about the war? Things are about to get complicated, and a lot might change in the next few months."

Zheng Xiang frowned, "Can it affect us too? We are just normal disciples of one of the many sects in the Xin Kingdom. I am sure the War won't reach this table."

Gao Xuan smiled and shook his head, "It has already reached here. Don't you know who is sitting in front of you?"

"What do you mean?" Zheng Xiang frowned.

Even Bai Qing'er had her attention on his words.

Gao Xuan simply smiled and said, "You forget that I am the Young Master of Gao Clan, while the guy beside me is also one of the young masters from Capital City."

Ye Tian Yun inwardly rolled his eyes backward upon hearing Gao Xuan's words. But he didn't care much.

However, this was different for Zheng Xiang.

He considered Fang Chen as his brother, so how could he let Gao Xuan demean him?

"Young Master Gao, the last time I heard, the Fang Clan had thoroughly suppressed the Gao Clan in a trade war."

"Hmph!" Gao Xuan looked the other way.

Ye Tian Yun shook his head and asked him, "Can you tell me about the situation in the Capital City? I will be going there soon."

Gao Xuan frowned, "Don't go to the Capital City."

"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Why?"

"If you go, you will be sent to the frontlines. Not even your father, the Prime Minister, can save you."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised upon hearing this.

But he wasn't worried; in fact, this was good news for him.

He asked, "Tell me more in detail. I don't want to go there and unknowingly walk in a trap."

Gao Xuan shrugged, "Why should I tell you? Last time we had a chat - do you remember about the deal? You were supposed to give me information about the thing that I came here for. You even gave me the information - but it turned out to be wrong."

"Wrong?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.

The last time when he had met Gao Xuan on the top floor, Ye Tian Yun knew what Gao Xuan was looking for.

He was looking for the Sword Stele - most likely to confirm the existence of the high-tier Spirit Vien.

Ye Tian Yun had told him to look under the Second Peak.

In exchange for this deal, Ye Tian Yun had also received a few answers.

'How could I be wrong? The sword Stele is definitely under the Second Peak. Unless… I assumed it wrong, and Gao Xuan is actually looking for something else?'

If that turned out to be true, then Ye Tian Yun would have no other choice but to facepalm himself.

To act mysterious and all-knowing, Ye Tian Yun had just spoken total bullshit.

"Wait," Ye Tian Yun had to confirm first this time, "You're looking for the Sword place, right?"

"Sword place?" Gao Xuan frowned, and suddenly something dawned upon her, "Ah yes, exactly that."

"Oh? Then it's definitely under the Second Peak."

"But we didn't find any traces of it." Gao Xuan asked.

Ye Tian Yun simply shrugged, "That's your problem, mate. I gave you the right place to look at. It's you who didn't check everything right and ended up with no results."

Gao Xuan frowned, "Then tell the way. In exchange, I will give you my insight on the whole War situation."

Ye Tian Yun frowned.

In their previous encounter, this piece of information was not important for him because he was confident that he wouldn't need the Sword Stele as he had the system.

Unfortunately, now the System is gone, and every resource was important for Ye Tian Yun.

Especially the Sword Stele.

On the other hand, he trusted Gao Xuan's insight, and his words on the current situation of Lower Heavens were very important for his next goal.

Now, the question arises - should he reveal the whole information about Sword Stele or not?
