Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Like Bai Qing'er, Ye Tian Yun had also expected an invitation from Jiang Yun to become a member of the World League.

However, joining the World League was only going to delay his goals. 

It wasn't that he didn't know what the response of Xiao Ming would be. 

He already knew what his enemy was going to do. Thus Ye Tian Yun wasn't interested in becoming a part of the World League.

Not to forget that joining that league would not bring him any advantage, but he would rather waste more time and delay his goal.

He had to kill Xiao Ming before the Grand Spirit Hunt started because it was at that event that the Token in his possession made its first appearance in public. By the time people came to know what that artifact was, five years had already passed, and the God's Legion was ruling the Lower Heavens.

And before that, he needed to get his hands on the manual from Yuan Shuchun to stop it from falling into Xiao Ming's hands.

This manual was the key to Xiao Ming's rise, and if he removed it from the equation, Xiao Ming might not even have enough cultivation to qualify for the Grand Spirit Hunt.

If Xiao Ming didn't qualify, then killing him would be even easier.

Thus, Ye Tian Yun knew what he had to do: Join Heavenly League, Get Close to Yuan Shuchun, Get hold of that Manual, and prepare for the assassination.

Even though he had completed the first two stages, somewhere in his mind, he had a hunch that things won't be as straightforward as he had planned.

Something unexpected is bound to happen when we try to do a good deed like assassination.

…

On the stage, Jiang Yun waited for all of them to say yes and become part of his World Alliance.

Along with other invited disciples, Ye Tian Yun had also stood up.

Sensing Jiang Yun's stare, he smiled and replied for the invitation, "Senior Brother Jiang, I wish I could be a part of your renowned World League; however, the voices in my head are telling me to say no."

"What?" Jiang Yun was confused by his reply.

Ye Tian Yun explained to him, "Senior Brother Jiang, you see, I know about the missions which the World League generally gets. It handles the north of the Xin Kingdom. And that place has a tumultuous landscape with many cliffs and deep ravines, and being a simple child from a normal family, I have never been to such places. And I am afraid of skydiving."

"Huh? Well, you can learn to skydive." Jiang Yun shrugged in reply.

Ye Tian Yun shook his head and said, "Well, if at first, I don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for me." 

Jiang Yun pursed his lips at this reply then turned towards Zheng Xiang.

He and Zheng Xiang maintained eye contact for a few moments, which was enough for both of them to feel awkward, and Jiang Yun had to gesture to him to speak up.

"uh..ah...yes," Zheng Xiang came back to reality, took a deep breath, put on a serious expression, frowned a little, crossed his arms, and said, "Senior brother, hold on, I gotta overthink about it."

And then he had an expression of someone deep in thoughts while rubbing his chin with one hand as if thinking about a serious life and death question.

Jiang Yun was appalled by this guy, and then he looked at Bai Qing'er, crossed his hands, and gestured to her, with his head, to reply.

Even Yuan Shuchun was paying attention to her reply.

Bai Qing'er gave a slight smile and said, "Senior Brother Jiang Yun, thank you for your invitation; I feel honored; however, unfortunately, I cannot join any league. My cultivation path, though relies on sword cultivation as its basis, however, it's quite unique, and I cannot have any distractions, or it will be very detrimental for my future cultivation."

Jiang Yun pursed his lips awkwardly. He was rejected three times continuously by mere newly promoted disciples. He felt frustrated over his situation, which increased tenfold after noticing smirks on Jun Xie and Yuan Shuchun's faces from the corner of his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he uttered the only positive thing that he could find out of his situation, "Well, at least you rejected like a normal person." Not forgetting to give a stare from the corner of his narrowed eyes to the two disciples beside her.

Only to find Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang admired the plain design of the ceiling.

Rolling his eyes, he looked at Xiao Ming, who was standing beside Bai Qing'er. 

Xiao Ming smiled at him, cupped his fists, and said, "Senior Brother, I too will not join any league."

Jiang Yun didn't say anything and turned his head towards Mu Xing and asked with a deadpan expression, "What's your excuse?"

Mu Xing also cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, I am already a part of the Heavenly League."

Jiang Yun then turned towards Hou Xing and asked, "What about you? The reason better be interesting."

Hou Xing also cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother, thank you for your invitation; it would be an honor for me to be a part of the World League."

"Hmm, ok." Jiang Yun nodded with a tired face, and suddenly something dawned upon him, "Wait.. what? What did you just say?"

"Uh... I would be an honor for me to be part of your--"

"FINALLY! At last, someone knows the value of the invitation." Hou Xing accepting the invitation alone was enough for Jiang Yun to take a one-eighty degree turn as he puffed his chest like a peacock.
