Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

A/n : Bonus Chapter for crossing 300 Power Stones

...

"City Lord, we have guests." A guard entered the City Lord's office and declared the arrival of Ye Tian Yun and Butler Liu.

He found the City Lord staring out of the window with a deep frown on his face.

Soon, Madam Wang entered the main hall, with a sense of confusion and worry written over her face.

"Let's go." City Lord Wang Long's deep voice resounded, and the couple then followed the guard to the Guest Hall.

Just before they were about to enter the hall, Madam Wang suddenly tapped on City Lord Wang's shoulders and gestured to him to take a deep breath and calm himself down.

She was afraid that her husband might explode in anger and do something unexpected.

After all, the guest in the hall…

Well, she couldn't be any more unfamiliar with that aura.

Lightning Monarch Liu Lei.

She knew that guy very well.

Though she didn't know who that kid was with him.

'Maybe his son?'

With these thoughts, she entered the Guest Hall following her husband while the guard returned to his duty.

…

In the exquisitely decorated Guest Hall now stood four people.

Butler Liu's expression turned serious as he cupped his fists in greeting towards the couple.

"Hmm…" City Lord Wang nodded his head and gestured to them to take their seats.

And at that moment, his eyes laid on the young fifteen-something-year-old kid.

'That face…'

It was very familiar.

He instantly knew who the kid was.

Ye Tian Yun, too, didn't waste any time and cupped his fists while standing, "Greetings, Uncle and Aunt. I am your nephew, Ye Tian Yun."

'Ye Tian Yun…!'

Madam Wang's eyebrows instantly rose in shock.

'What did he send his son here for?'

The couple was curious.

"Have a seat, Nephew Yun," City Lord Wang replied.

However, his face didn't express any emotions.

It was hard to tell whether he was happy to meet Ye Tian Yun or just didn't care.

Ye Tian Yun's bet was on the latter.

"What happened, Nephew?" The City Lord asked, "What could possibly be the reason for you to descend in this mortal world from your palace?"

Ye Tian Yun didn't try to flatter him, nor did he try to make a connection. He went straight for the topic.

"Uncle, I am here for Sister Ling Qing'er."

"Hm?" The couple frowned.

'Why would brother Ling send Ye Tian Yun for this?' City Lord Wang couldn't tell.

The Brother Ling he was thinking about was the current Clan Head of the Great Ling Clan.

He was also City Lord Wang's biggest ally and friend and was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of his generation alongside City Lord Wang.

Heavenly King Ling had visited Heavenly King Wang about fifteen or so years ago and had requested him to keep his daughter, Ling Qing'er, at the Wang Clan.

This was because Ling Qing'er was born with Heavenly Yin Physique, and if this piece of information got out, huge trouble would spell on the Great Ling Clan.

'If that was the case, then why did he send that guy's son? Ling Qing'er physique is yet to awaken. Did something big happen in the Great Ling Clan!?

The room's temperature instantly dropped by a few notches, and a huge pressure descended upon Ye Tian Yun.

However, he didn't feel anything - mainly because Butler Liu didn't hesitate to protect him.

"What are you doing, Heavenly King Wang!?" Butler Liu burst out.

Even though he had shown to be nervous when they were outside, currently his face showed anything but nervousness.

The pressure from City Lord Wang instantly disappeared.

However, he seemed to be angered for some reason.

"Tell me…" He asked in a deep voice, "Why did my Brother Ling send that guy's son to fetch Ling Qing'er?"

Ye Tian Yun frowned at this.

"Uncle Long, the 'that guy' you are speaking of, is my father, your brother, and the Emperor of everything under the heavens. Please be respectful."

"Hm?" City Lord Wang glanced at him for a moment.

However, things didn't go as expected, and Ye Tian Yun didn't see the other party getting even more angered at his comment. 

Instead, there was actually a trace of appreciation in Heavenly King Wang's eyes.

'Weird uncle…'

"Heavenly King Wang, the reason why we are sent here is that the Great Ling Clan's Princess is betrothed to Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun."

"What!?" Madam Wang opened her eyes wide in shock, "How did this happen!?"

The shock in her eyes was evident and natural.

Everyone in the Middle Heavens knew that Clan Head of Ling Clan and Emperor Ye were bitter rivals of their generations.

How could anyone simply believe that their direct descendants would marry each other?

And for Madam Wang, who treated Ling Qing'er as her future daughter-in-law, this was even more shocking.

Butler Liu shook his head and said, "I am not aware of the details and was only recently informed about this."

"Hm," City Lord Wang frowned, "Do you know about Ling Qing'er's…"

Butler Liu nodded his head, "I am aware of her physique."

The City Lord frowned at this. 'What is going on in the Ling Clan?'

"Is everything normal in the Middle Heavens?" Madam Wang asked.

Butler Liu nodded his head, "Everything is alright, Sister-In-law."

Madam Wang narrowed her eyes at Butler Liu but didn't comment on his way of addressing her.

"What about 'that' place?" The City Lord asked.

"This…" Butler Liu glanced at Ye Tian Yun for a moment and then said, "There have been some weird moments from their side. I am arranging the scouts to assess the situation."

"Hm…" City Lord Wang frowned, "What did 'he' say?"

"The Emperor has only a request. And you know it very well, Heavenly King Wang." Butler Liu replied.

Heavenly King Wang shook his head at this, "No. I can't return. After that incident, there's no going back now."

Butler Liu let out a sigh at these words.

However, Ye Tian Yun was instead quite confused by the City Lord's response.

'Going back?'

'My father wants Uncle Long to return?'

'This… this isn't supposed to be the script…''
