Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 533 - 533 | The Backup Plan

"Xiao Chen, what is your cultivation realm?"

Fang Yunru asked.

Ye Tian Yun smiled and in the next instant, he released his cultivation aura.

"Woah," Fang Yunru was quite surprised, "Ninth Level of Qi Condensation!"

"Good!" Fang Ji also nodded.

Fang Bai had a proud smile upon seeing the cultivation realm.

"Haha, my son will soon change the public view of him," Madam Fang said in a proud tone.

Prime Minister Fang Yuan shook his head, "There's still a long way to go. He isn't even in the top ten of the Capital City. And there are only a few months left before the Grand Spirit Hunt begins, he needs to cross a whole realm and reach the peak of Tri-Qi Realms.."

Fang Yunru nodded, "Uncle is right," Looking at Ye Tian Yun, he added, "Xiao Chen still has a long way to go, however, if we consider his Sword Intent, things won't be as hard as we were assuming at first."

"No, we shouldn't take the Sword Intent in account," Prime Minister Fang interrupted, "Sword Intent is best as a trump card, what he needs is a high cultivation realm. Also, we can't remove the possibility of someone else having similar Sword Talent."

Everyone around him nodded, agreeing with his words.

Ye Tian Yun also understood this, but he wasn't worried at all.

With his Core Formation Realm, right now there was no one in his generation who could even force him to use full strength.

'I need to reach the Fourth Level of the Core Formation Realm before the GRand Spirit Hunt begins.'

This was Ye Tian Yun's goal.

…

About an hour later, Ye Tian Yun had returned to his cultivation abode and had once again sat down to focus on cultivation.

Fang Yunru had agreed to step back and not participate in the Grand Spirit Hunt, albeit on the condition that Ye Tian Yun teaches him Sword Intent.

'His talent is good, it won't be hard to teach him.'

What Ye Tian Yun was afraid of was wasting too much time on unnecessary stuff.

'I need to focus on the main plan…'

Gao CLan had rejected his request to give the Thunder Valley.

'Should I talk to Gao Xuan?'

Ye Tian Yun thought.

Clan Head Gao Kang's reaction upon seeing his youngest son was still fresh in his mind.

'But from what I know, Clan Head Gao was proudest of his youngest son? What was going on that day?'

Ye Tian Yun was curious because their relationship was important for his plans.

'However, there was no hostility between Gao Xuan and Gao Long.'

Both brothers didn't show any malice towards each other.

'In fact, Gao Long even gave a wry smile…'

It was highly likely that the situation between the Gao Brothers was similar to Fang Chen and Fang Yunru's situation.

'This is my best bet.'

One of Ye Tian Yun's backup plans included the situation between the Gao Brothers.

'I will use their closeness as a weapon.'

Gao Long was the former number one genius of the Capital City, but because of an ambush, he was crippled.

But Ye Tian Yun had a way which could help Gao Long gain his lost cultivation and come out even more powerful.

When a person is crippled, no matter if he's a genius or a dunce, he will lose all his cultivation and his future achievements will turn bleak.

However, that doesn't mean all hope is lost.

Getting crippled is the worst nightmare of any cultivator, so how could the alchemists and array masters not work on solving this?

And with centuries of research, a solution is already in hand, however, not everyone has the right to receive the treatment.

But Ye Tian Yun was very well aware of everything.

In fact, at first, he thought his gift of letting Gao Xuan achieve his former cultivation would make Gao Clan agree with his request.

But then, he decided not to go with that route, instead, gifted a Thousand-Year old Ginseng for Madam Gao.

The reason was pretty simple, he didn't wish to overdo things. If he openly helped Gao Long get back his cultivation, he would get too much attention, most of which wouldn't be good for him.

'I am not here to create unnecessary trouble…'

As for the method of getting Gao Long back on his feat… Well, the solution to this was a pill.

A Third Grade Pill.

It isn't a big deal, but the problem is the ingredients.

But Ye Tian Yun didn't need to worry about them.

Butler Liu's spatial ring for Jun Xie had a lot of essential ingredients, and an alchemist can make plenty of those pills.

'The problem I am facing right now is the alchemist itself.'

There was no alchemist with him and he couldn't focus on searching for a trustworthy alchemist right now.

The person I need is Jun Xie.

But where the hell is he?

Ye Tian Yun frowned.

He had two goals right now - getting the Thunder Valley and getting close to Xin Xue Qing.

But now both of his goals were blocked because he needed Jun Xie.

Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but narrow his eyes upon thinking about this.

'He better not delay things anymore.'

Knock-knock!

Just then, someone from outside the room called out.

"Brother Fang, may we enter?'

'Zheng Xiang?'

Ye Tian Yun stood up and opened the door.

In front of him were Zheng Xiang and Bai Qing'er.

"What happened?" 

Ye Tian Yun asked.

Zheng Xiang shrugged, "We are planning to roam around the city, I was hoping you could join us."

Ye Tian Yun let out a wry smile, "I can't come with you guys, I am not allowed to go out of the Fang Clan."

"Ah, yes," Zheng Xiang nodded, "How are you now?"

Ye Tian Yun reassured, "I will recover soon."

"Hm, alright then, we will roam around the city for some time."

Just as they were about to turn around, Ye Tian Yun asked, "How about I send someone with you? You're not familiar with the city, a guide will be a big help."

"Oh?" Zheng Xiang smiled, "That would be great."

Ye Tian Yun smiled and then gestured to a guard, "Go and bring Ao Jia who guards the Study Room's Hallway."

"Yes, Young Master," The guard nodded and left.

Ye Tian Yun gestured at the couple in front of him, "Come in, have a seat."

Zheng Xiang didn't hesitate and went in the right way, while Bai Qing'er hesitated a bit and then lightly bowing towards Ye Tian Yun, she stepped in.

Ye Tian Yun smiled at this and pushed to chairs near the bed and gestured to them to take a seat, while he himself laid on the bed.

"Brother Fang," Bai Qing'er spoke while taking her seat, "I will be heading back to the sect soon, so I hope you take care of Brother Xiang."

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Don't worry, he will be alright here. When are you planning to leave?"

"Hm, I was planning to leave today, but Xiang won't let me."

"Then don't leave," Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "It's better if you stay here for at least one month."

"Hm? What will happen in a month?" Bai Qing'er asked out of curiosity.

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Nothing important, I was just saying you can relax and make acquaintances in the Capital City."

"Why bother?" Bai Qing'er shook her head, "I would rather focus on cultivation."

"Your choice," Ye Tian Yun shrugged.

To him, it didn't matter whether Bai Qing'er stayed in the Fang Clan or in the Gracious Sword Sect.

"Young Master, you called me."

A shout from outside interrupted their conversation.

As they turned towards the door, Ye Tian Yun replied, "Yes, come in."

Faint footsteps were heard as Ao Jia entered the room.

"Yes, Young Master?" He asked with a slight bow.

Ye Tian Yun glanced at the Zheng-Bai couple and said to Ao Jia, "These are my friends, and it will be your duty to guide them through the famous spots of the Capital City."

"Ah, sure," Ao Jia nodded and cupped his fists at Zheng Xiang and Bai Qing'er as a greeting.

Ye Tian Yun glanced at Zheng Xiang, "Go ahead, Ao Jia will guide you. I will accompany you after I have recovered."

"Alright, I will see you later," Zheng Xiang smiled and left the room with Ao Jia.

Bai Qing'er also followed them, but she paused just before reaching the door.

"What happened?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

"Brother Fang.." She pursed her lips and said, "Zheng Xiang is faking his cheerful attitude. Once I have left for the sect, please take care of him."

Ye Tian Yun was inwardly surprised, 'Really? Zheng Xiang was faking it?'

But Ye Tian Yun didn't show it on his face, and replied, "Ah, don't worry, I have already seen through his act, but everyone had their own way of coping up with the loss. Let's hope he gathers himself back up."

Bai Qing'er nodded and left the room, and soon caught up with Zheng Xiang and Ao Jia.

Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh and got up from his seat.

'I can't meet Gao Xuan during the day, let's go and visit the Purple Spring Garden.'

'Hopefully, I can find an opening today.'

The last time Ye Tian Yun had visited the garden with the intention to secretly enter the place, however even after spending hours roaming in the area, he couldn't find a blind spot in the security.

'Let's see if I can get a good result today…'

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and in a disguise, he left the Fang Clan.
