Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

After disguising himself back as Fang Chen, Ye Tian Yun had Jun Xie discreetly remove the illusion technique, and then both of them slowly approached Gao Suyin - who was currently disguised as Gao Xuan.

Noticing their arrival, she raised her head and nodded at them with a slight smile.

Ye Tian Yun smiled back and said, "Brother Gao, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

Gao Suyin pursed her lips, "Coincidence indeed. Well, I was just sitting here under the shade of this tree, waiting for a friend."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun light nodded his head, "I was just heading back to the clan, but since I saw you, I thought about having a chat."

"Hm," Gao Suyin has a wry smile, "By the way, about yesterday, something came up, and I had no other choice but to head towards somewhere else. I hope the dinner was good."

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "It was very delicious! Where did you get such a chef?"

Gao Suyin shook her head, "This is a trade secret, Brother Fang. This is not something I can reveal…."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Alright, alright. Anyway, I wanted to ask if you remember the thing I talked about when we last met?"

"Hm?" Gao Suyin frowned, "Are you talking about me having free time?"

"Yes," Ye Tian Yun nodded,  "So, do you have free time for the next week?"

Gao Suyin lightly nodded. This was what she was waiting for.

'This wasn't as hard as I had thought….'

Ye Tian Yun said, "Well, come to my clan at dawn tomorrow. We won't waste any more time and head straight for the destination."

"The destination is Thunder Valley, right?" Gao Suyin asked, just to confirm.

This was all a hunch. Ye Tian Yun hadn't told her about his exact plans, but it wasn't hard for her to guess where he was planning to go with his actions.

Though she had no idea why he was so eager to get to the Thunder Valley.

'Wait… don't tell me he knows about the secret of the Thunder Valley!?'

She couldn't help but feel worried.

The treasure in the Thunder Valley was very important for her clan, and there was no way she was willing to compromise on that.

'Ugh, I hope not, or else things would get troublesome….'

"Yeah, we're heading to the Thunder Valley." Ye Tian Yun asked with a frown, "Are you following me?"

"Hm? Me? No."

"Then how do you know so much about me? First, there was the matter related to the Purple Spring Garden, and now this." 

Gao Suyin shrugged, "You will be my brother-in-law soon; I will have to give myself reassurance that you're a good guy."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun smiled upon hearing this, "Well, I am not as good as you might be hoping, but you really have no choice in this case, neither do I."

Gao Suyin sighed, "Indeed."

Ye Tian Yun's smile slowly receded, and he lightly leaned forward and said, "So, you should stop poking your nose in the place where it doesn't belong. The only thing you're doing with this is creating doubts in my mind."

Gao Suyin pursed her lips and lightly nodded, "Alright, I will take note of this problem."

"Hm," Ye Tian Yun lightly nodded and then turning his head sideways, he said, "I will get going then. See you tomorrow."

Gao Suyin nodded at him and then Jun Xie, bidding them farewell.

As Jun Xie followed Ye Tian Yun, he couldn't help but ask, "You sure you want to invite him? Something feels off whenever he's standing in front of me."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun glanced at him, "What is it?"

"I don't know," Jun Xie pursed his lips, "It's just an intuition."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun asked, "Can you differentiate whether this is a good intuition or a bad intuition?"

Jun Xie thought for a second before replying, "Um… I don't feel anything bad, but I don't have any good feelings either."

"Hmm," Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Alright, then we will see what he's planning in the coming few days."

Jun Xie frowned, "Are you sure you can handle it if he does something stupid? Like trying to trap us or conspire against us?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "I know, but don't worry. I am pretty confident in my power, and this time, the confidence is just too high."

Jun Xie shrugged, "I just want us to return as soon as possible, so there are no more delays in the whole journey,"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Noted."

They soon reached the Fang Clan, and here, they split up.

While Jun Xie headed back to the Guest Courtyard, Fang Chen headed inside to meet Prime Minister Fang Yuan.

Currently, it was late evening, and Prime Minister Fang was sitting at his desk in the Study.

Ye Tian Yun followed the path, nodded at the familiar guard, and just as he was about to knock, he heard a voice from inside the room -

"Come in."

Ye Tian Yun smiled and stepped inside.

There were currently only two people inside the Study - Prime Minister Fang Yuan and Ye Tian Yun.

"What happened?" Prime Minister Fang Yuan looked at him with a grumpy face.

Ye Tian Yun was a bit taken aback, "What happened to you? Is everything alright?"

Prime Minister Fang's face suddenly relaxed as he hid his inner troubles, "Nothing, just court matter. Tell me about you, what happened?"

Ye Tian Yun sighed, "Well, we will need one more Golden Ferghana in the morning. So a total of six."

"Six Golden Ferghana horses?" Prime Minister Fang thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright. But who's this new guest?"

Ye Tian Yun replied, "It's Gao Xuan."

"Gao Clan's Gao Xuan?" Prime Minister Fang was surprised, "You two are close friends?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "No close enough."

"Hm," Prime Minister Fang nodded, "But do you trust him? Should I send some extra guards with you? Or how about I come myself?"

Ye Tian Yun waved his hand, "Don't worry about anything. I know you're worried about losing the treasure because Fang Clan has already suffered a huge loss, but don't be. I will be back in a few days."

"Hm, alright." Prime Minister Fang sighed, "Take care of yourself, son."

"En."

Leaving the Study, Ye Tian Yun headed straight for his courtyard. Tomorrow was an important day for him.

….

Time slowly passed, and dawn was approaching for the citizens of Xin Capital City.

There was still a shade of darkness covering the whole area, and Ye Tian Yun stood at the gates of Fang Clan, and beside him were five others - Gao Xuan, Jun Xie, Wu Qingwu, Zheng Xiang, and Bai Qing'er.

"Let's go." Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath, and conveying farewell to Madam Xin with a light nod; he started the journey.

The others followed him right after.

Madam Xin, who had woken up early to cook something for everyone, stared at the unsettling dust in the street through which Ye Tian Yun and his party had just left the Fang Clan.

"Stay safe, son."

She murmured.
