Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 289 - A Difficult Choice

"Conforming whether everything I have heard about you is true or not." Ye Tian Yun slowly said.

Fu Kai was a bit taken aback by these words, "What did you hear about me?"

"A lot. Maybe in the future, I will be able to explain to you more carefully." Ye Tian Yun didn't push the topic.

It was not the time to focus his mind on those things. 

Fu Kai was an interesting character within the Capital City. 

And what the whole world didn't know was that Fu Kai was the reason why Crown Prince Xin took the Fu Clan under his wing.

Even Fu Kai was unaware of this fact.

Hearing his words, Fu Kai didn't say anything and turned his attention to driving the carriage.

Suddenly Ye Tian Yun asked, "Fu Kai, what do you think of the Fang Clan?"

Fu Kai was a bit stumped at this sudden question; raising his eyebrows, he asked back, "Why you ask?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Just having a normal conversation. It's not easy to sit still for long when we're not cultivating."

Fu Kai nodded his head and said, "Well, I already told you, my clan is a part of the Crown Prince Faction. And then there's Fang Clan, whose Clan Head leads the opposite faction."

"Now, I am sure you have gotten your answer."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "No-no, I didn't ask what your clan thinks; I asked your opinion. Your personal thoughts on the Fang Clan."

"Hmm," Fu Kai slightly frowned for a bit, "Well, I am pretty sure I don't have a good opinion of that clan. After all, I have practically lived my whole life seeing my father curse at Prime Minister Fang."

"However, that's not what has shaped my opinion, but rather, it's the Fang Clan's arrogance."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes, "What's your opinion on Fang Chen, the young master of the Fang Clan?"

"I know who he is." Fu Kai rolled his eyes backward, "And I would rather not talk much about him."

"Remember when I said you're the second most arrogant guy I have ever met? Well, Fang Chen is the first."

Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin, "Both of you had a scuffle?"

"Nah, our paths never actually crossed much. I don't spend much time in the Capital. That place is filled with hypocrites and ego-filled kids."

After a slight pause, Fu Kai asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in Fang Chen? Don't tell me you know him?"

"Well, he's a fellow sect disciple of mine." Ye Tian Yun replied.

"Ah yes. I did hear the rumors. Are they true? Did Prime Minister Fang really send his son to his enemy?"

"Well, yeah." Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "It's just politics, I guess."

"Is he still alive?"

"Fang Chen?"

"Yeah, he's good and well."

"That's a surprise. Did you know when the news broke out that Fang Chen was going to cultivate in the Gracious Sword Sect instead of Blazing Sword Sect? It shocked the whole capital. There were even betting stalls on how long Sect Leader Su would let him keep his life."

"Oh really?" Ye Tian Yun was quite surprised, "What did you bet on?"

"Well, I bet that nothing will happen to Fang Chen."

"Oh? What made you so confident about that?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

Fu Kai pursed his lips, "Well, it was an intuition."

"Intuition?"

"Yeah. I just felt like we haven't seen Fang Chen's arrogance enough yet. That guy will definitely show his face after a few years, and with more arrogance."

Ye Tian Yun smirked, "Well, I hope Fang Chen lives a long life."

Fu Kai shrugged, "I didn't mean I hoped to see him; it was just an intuition."

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "I will ask you one more question before I go back to sleep."

"Sleep? Can't you be on guard? We are the last carriage and also the most prone to get attacked."

"Well, I think you alone are enough to handle those bugs." 

Fu Kai shrugged at this, "Alright, ask."

Ye Tian Yun slightly frowned and said, "Tell me, where is the Seventh Prince?"

"Seventh Prince?" Fu Kai was a bit stumped at this question.

This question was not at all what he was expecting.

"Well… Seventh Prince is more of a military guy… he's most probably posted on the frontlines. Why do you ask?"

"It was just that someone told me he would be going to the northern army?" Ye Tian Yun asked in a nonchalant voice.

"Northern Army?" Fu Kai gave him a weird look, "Seventh Prince would be stupid if he did that. Only the eastern border gives the most merits. No way he will leave that place and go to snow-filled mountains."

Ye Tian Yun nodded and leaned back once again.

The questions he had asked were not random ones to pass time. 

He wanted to know the situation inside the Capital City and find a way to settle back in.

With the Grand Spirit Hunt approaching, the whole Kingdom's eyes would fall on it. However, what King Xin didn't know was that while he tried to clean his kingdom, enemies had already set their eyes on the throne.

Even though Ye Tian Yun didn't really care much about this, this was going to be very important for him once he got his hands on the Token Of Fate.

His next destination was going to be the Capital City, and then the Northern Mountain Range.

These two places had the two Token Holders, and Ye Tian Yun was going to target both of them at once.

However, there was another option too.

If he chose not to head towards the capital, he could go after another target.

And this target was actually the possessor of an Emblem!

If he successfully took out Xiao Ming and got his hands on the Token Of Fate - he would then have to choose whether to go after two tokens or one emblem.

Just then, Fu Kai said, "Also, don't sleep. We will soon meet an important person."

"Who?" 

"Crown Prince Xin."
