Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

'Here we are.'

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and stepped inside the Emperor's Courtyard.

Since it was early morning, Ye Tian Yun knew that Emperor Ye wouldn't be in the main hall; rather, he would be in the Imperial Court, meeting with people from different sects and clans.

He didn't wish to waste time interacting with any of them right now, so he decided to wait in the other room.

As he stepped into the main room, the first thing that Ye Tian Yun noticed was the pile of papers on the table.

'The room is as messy as ever.'

This room was one of the most important rooms in the Imperial Palace because Emperor Ye spent most of his time here if he was not cultivating.

"What are these?"

Ye Tian Yun was curious about the papers on the table.

But he didn't check them.

He simply sat on the other side of the table and waited for his father to return from the Imperial Courtroom.

He decided against looking at the paper mainly because he didn't wish to poke his nose in someone else's business.

It didn't take long for Emperor Ye to return.

"Ah, Yun'er, you came quite early today."

Emperor Ye had enough cultivation to sense anyone's presence within the imperial palace.

He was already aware of Ye Tian Yun's arrival.

This was one of the reasons why he ended the meeting earlier.

"I didn't know when you would be free, so I figured I should just come a bit early." Ye Tian Yun replied.

Emperor Ye nodded his head and took the main seat on the other side of the table.

"So you will be heading towards the Lower Heavens today?" He said while arranging the papers in front of him.

"Yes, Father," Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Butler Liu might not be available a week from now, so he suggested that he bring me to the Lower Heavens while he's free."

"Hmm, I know," Emperor Ye nodded, "Liu will be heading for an important mission soon, so it's better if he finishes his business in the Middle Heavens first."

"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Is he going to the Upper Heavens?"

Emperor Ye paused for a moment and then nodded his head, "Yes."

Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin while asking, "Father."

"Hm?"

"How different is the Upper Heavens from this realm?"

"It's a whole new world."

"A whole new world?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised, "If our clan was in the Upper Heavens, how powerful would we be?"

Emperor Ye smiled, "Our Clan would still be one of the top clans."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "I thought the power difference between the Upper Heavens and the Middle Heavens would be huge."

Emperor Ye nodded, "Your assumption is right. The thing is, our clan is too powerful according to the standards of the Middle Heavens. If you compare any other clan or sect, like the Great Ling Clan, they won't amount much in the Upper Heavens."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment before asking, "The Upper Heavens must have a better cultivation environment, right?"

Emperor Ye nodded, "Yes, it's way better than the Middle Heavens."

"Really?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "If our clan can stand as one of the top clans even in the Upper Heavens, and the cultivation environment of that place is also good, then why have we not shifted our clan to that realm?"

Emperor Ye smiled, "It's because the whole Upper Heavens wants to kill us."

"What!?" Ye Tian Yun was shocked, "Why!?"

Emperor Ye smiled, "The reason is pretty simple, it's yu- wait, brat, you have gotten quite crafty after spending time in the Lower Heavens."

"What, father?" Ye Tian Yun gulped.

'Did I get caught? No! I must act ignorant.'

Emperor Ye sneered, "Brat, don't forget I am your father. My mind was just preoccupied, so I didn't notice it earlier. You're trying to get information from me, right?"

"Ahahah..." Ye Tian Yun gave a wry smile and looked to the other side.

The paintings on the wall looked very beautiful for some reason.

"Yun'er," Emperor Ye said with a serious expression, "I will tell you about the Upper Heavens when you reach the Saint Realm."

"Saint Realm?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "That's at least five years away."

"Five years?" Surprise flashed through Emperor Ye's eyes before returning to normal.

After a moment of thought, he stared at Ye Tian Yun and said, "Son, you will have to reach the Saint Realm in three years."

"What?" Ye Tian Yun raised his eyes in shock, "In three years!? That's impossible!"

Emperor Ye smiled, "Don't you wish to end the marriage agreement with the Lings?"

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Yes, I want to."

Emperor Ye shrugged, "The only solution for that is for you to reach the Saint Realm in three years."

Ye Tian Yun's frown deepened, "This is absurd. If it was Half Saint Realm, I could have tried my luck. But Saint Realm? There's no way I can reach that."

Emeoper Ye smiled, "Why? I thought you would be hotblooded, but it turns out you're quite a wimp."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Father, you don't have to instigate me. Claiming to reach the Saint Realm is the pinnacle of foolishness."

"Oh?" Emperor Ye let out a long sigh, "Then I guess you will have to marry that girl."

Ye Tian Yun clenched his teeth.

'If the engagement goes on, I will have to kill Feng'er. This is unavoidable. But I can't reach the Saint Realm in three years. Because I won't have all the Tokens and Emblems by that time.'

Emperor Ye, noticing his silence, slowly began to say, "Son, I know you're worried about not getting all the Emblems and Tokens. You should just stop thinking about canceling the marriage. And I heard you would have to kill that girl? Why would you do that?"

After a slight pause, Emperor Ye added, "Son, canceling the marriage is running away from the problem. Instead of this, you should find a different outcome and find a way in which you won't have to kill your future wife."
