Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"You're leaving the sect?" Zheng Xiang exclaimed as the three of them got out of the Elder's Hall.

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Yes. The war might break out anytime now, so I must get back to the Fang Clan to help in any way I can."

"Did the Clan Head call you?" Hou Xing quipped in front behind.

He was the scion of Hou Clan, which was one of the clans under the Fang Clan. If Fang Clan's young master was called, it wouldn't be long before he was called back too.

This was why he was curious about the state of the clan.

"I am going on my own," Ye Tian Yun revealed, "I will take my time before I get back to the Fang Clan, but yeah, I am mainly going there to help my Clan Head."

"Hm," Hou Xing nodded his head.

No matter how much Hou Xing hated Fang Chen or the Fang Clan, but he would not step back when it comes to his duty as a part of the Hou Clan.

"I will most probably be called back soon too." He added.

Ye Tian Yun shrugged.  He didn't care about who comes or who doesn't.

"I will head back to the Cultivation abode then," Ye Tian Yun said. But suddenly, he remembered something, and then glancing at Zheng Xiang, he said, "Follow me the Sixth Floor first."

"Alright," Zheng Xiang nodded.

Hou Xing quipped, "I will be heading to the Second Peak. See you later, Zheng Xiang. And see you never, Fang Chen."

"This guy…" Zheng Xiang laughed as he shook his head.

"What?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

Staring at the disappearing back of Hou Xing, Zheng Xiang asked, "Do you both really hate each other?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head.

"I don't care about him, and he doesn't hate me."

"Oh? How do you know?" Zheng Xiang was curious.

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Would you believe me if I said it was written on his face?"

Zheng Xiang rolled his eyes, "Alright, no need to tell."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged.

He wasn't lying or trying to sound mysterious.

[Hou Xing. 3 Stars Favourability. Wishes to be your friend but doesn't like your conceited and arrogant nature.]

This was the prompt on You Xing's head.

'Is that guy a masochist?'

Ye Tian Yun couldn't comprehend.

Fang Chen never likes Hou Xing. To him, that latter was a nuisance.

Yet from the favourability on his head, it was evident that Hou Xing still wished to be his friend.

'He's either a masochist, or he's scheming something.'

'Well, I don't think I will be meeting him any time soon.'

…

After about ten or so minutes, both of them finally reached Ye Tian Yun's cultivation abode.

"You didn't say anything on the way. You gonna still remain quite?" Zheng Xiang asked.

Ye Tian Yun nodded, and after opening the door, he glanced at Zheng Xiang and said, "Wait here for a moment; I will be back."

Thud!

The door closed.

Zheng Xiang simply nodded and leaned on the balcony in front of him and stared down at the end of the Seventh Peak.

'Will I survive if I jumped down?'

He couldn't help but think of this question every time he looked down.

"Here."

Just then, Ye Tian Yun called him from behind.

"Oh, I didn't notice," Zheng Xiang turned around and saw a pouch in Ye Tian Yun's hands.

"What's this?" He asked while taking it from Ye Tian Yun.

"The pills. Since you took care of your deal, here's my part." 

"Oh! Thank you!!" Zheng Xiang's face glowed with surprise and gratitude.

Ye Tian Yun simply nodded, "I will ask about your bloodline, but I can't really promise."

"It's alright," Zheng Xiang simply waved his hands, "These pills will allow me to get more opportunities to explore my bloodline. By the way, how about I come with you to the Fang clan? It will be a win-win situation for both of us."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Not now. If you wish to come, come after three months."

"Alright," Zheng Xiang nodded his head, "I will be there unless the Sect Leader puts another lockdown."

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Up to you." 

Just as he was about to turn around, Zheng Xiang asked him about something.

"Fang Chen, what do you think of Gao Xuan's claim?"

"Hm? Which one?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

Gao Xuan talked about lots of things.

"The one where he said there would be some trouble on the Gracious Sword Sect. Was he bluffing, or was he serious?"

Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin, "What do you think?"

Zheng Xiang shrugged, "I don't know, it's just I don't know why, but I think he was serious at that time."

"Hm," Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Actually, something will happen. It's just that I am not sure if it will be in the next few weeks or if it will be during the Great Spirit Hunt."

"Oh… what do you think I should do?" Zheng Xiang asked.

Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and said, "If the sect is under attack, don't be an idiot by sacrificing your life. You don't have to hug death if there's a chance of escaping. Never forget that you can always take revenge for the sect once you're powerful enough."

"Hm," Zheng Xiang nodded his head, "Your words are not the ideal ones, but they do make some sense."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "When the time comes, it will all depend on what choices you make. See ya then."

Zheng Xiang slowly nodded as he saw Ye Tian Yun head back to this cultivation abode.

Soon, he too headed left. But this time not to the Seventh, but on the Fifth Floor, after all, he had defeated some powerful Fifth Floor disciples for their cultivation abodes.

…

The next day, Ye Tian Yun opened his eyes after cultivating for the whole night.

'One more day before Butler Liu arrives at the Southern Gate. Let's go.'
