Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Zheng Xiang."

"Yes, Brother Fang?"

"Um… cultivate well."

To reveal his identity.

It was an absurd thought—a truly absurd one.

And Ye Tian Yun chose not to follow it.

Under normal circumstances, his identity and background would have awed anyone, but in the current situation, it was his biggest weakness.

And with all he had been through, trusting someone enough to tell him his biggest weakness was not easy for Ye Tian Yun.

'It's not about how much they trust; it's about how much I trust them.'

"I will take my leave." Zheng Xiang smiled and headed back to the main room.

As he left, a thought flashed in Ye Tian Yun's mind.

'I should get individual rooms for everyone. These people won't have privacy during cultivation in the current situation.'

Leaving his room, he called out a nearby guard and told the butler to prepare two more rooms for the guests and arrange maids and servants for that courtyard. 

All five of them would have food in the courtyard from now on.

'This will help increase familiarity between Jun Xia and Zheng Xiang. And I also won't have to eat with the Fang couple.'

No matter how normal the current situation seemed, YeTian Yun never forgot that he was in someone else's disguise.

He had personally slit the throat of this 'someone'.

'I shouldn't get myself too close with the Fang Clan.'

He reminded himself once again.

Taking a deep breath, he returned to his room, and then closing the door, he sat cross-legged on the bed.

'Time to cultivate. I need to reach the Second Level of Core Formation by the end of this month.'

Closing his eyes, Ye Tian Yun appeared in the cultivation space and began to cultivate.

…

Study Hall, Ling Clan.

Ling Clan is one of the Big Four clans of the Capital City and is the third most powerful clan in the whole Xin Kingdom after the Xin Royal Clan and the Fang Clan.

Headed by Ling Xiaochun, the clan was also the branch clan of the Great Ling Clan from the Middle Heavens.

Although this was not a well-known fact, the higher-ups of the Xin Kingdom knew about it.

This acted as a warning and a buff for the Ling Clan. Also was one of the reasons why the Xin Royal Clan never antagonized the Ling Clan too much.

However, today someone arrived, whom even the Clan Head Ling Xiaochun respected.

It was a guest with the Token of the Great Ling Clan.

He was near the age of his son, but the aura around him contained grace, and his demeanor was an altogether different story.

"I hope you don't mind this, Young Master. But may I know your relationship with the Main Branch?"

Clan Head Ling Xiaochen asked.

He was a level-headed person and never acted recklessly.

Even with the backing of the Great Ling Clan, he never let himself become conceited and arrogant.

"I am Feng Yun." The young man in front of him said, "And the token in your hand is not a normal token."

"Hm?" Clan Head Ling Xiaochun frowned and now began to inspect it carefully.

After a few minutes, a light exclamation escaped from his mouth as he raised his head towards Fang Yun in surprise.

"This… this is Token by the Clan Head."

"Indeed." Feng Yun nodded, "Heavenly King Ling personally gave me this."

"I believe you." Clan Head Ling didn't need any more proof.

Anyone with this token was an utmost exalted guest for the Ling Clan. And he was sure that this was a real token, not a counterfeit.

'And only the Clan Head of the Main Branch can give out these tokens. This Young Man must have a powerful background. At least on an equal footing with our clan.'

"How can I help you, Young Master Feng?" He humbly asked.

Feng Yun waved his hands and replied with a smile, "Clan Head Ling,  you don't have to be humble yourself. Consider me as a junior of your clan. I will be troubling you for the next few months."

Clan Head Ling Xiaochun smiled, "It's no problem, our Ling Clan has enough space for Young Master Feng. I will arrange things right away."

"Thank you."

Just then, faint footsteps were heard, indicating someone's incoming arrival.

"Father, may I enter?" 

A calm voice called out from outside. It appeared to belong to a young man.

"Ah, Yun'er, come." Clan Head Ling Xiaochun called the person in.

A young man pushed open the gates, and the first thing he noticed was an unknown young man standing beside his father.

"Oh, you have guests." He was taken aback.

'I didn't even sense this guy…'

"This is Young Master Feng Yun," Clan Head Ling Xiaochun introduced the unknown guest, "He will be staying in our clan for the next few months. He's an important guest, and I want you to take care of him."

The young man nodded, "Yes, Father."

Clan Head Ling smiled and then glanced at Feng Yun; he said, "Young Master Feng, this is my eldest son, Ling Yun. If you face any trouble, you can contact him. Your room will also be near his courtyard, so you can also practice together if you get time."

Feng Yun nodded and then, staring at the young man in front of him, he let out a smile while cupping his fists, "Brother Ling Yun, I will be in your care."

"Brother Feng Yun." Ling Yun cupped his fists.

Clan Head Ling Xiaochun asked, "What happened, Son? Do you have something important to tell?"

Ling Yun nodded his head, "Father, I was just here for the resources that I asked for. Were you able to arrange them?"

"Ah, yes," Clan Head Ling nodded, and then taking out a pouch from his spatial ring, he handed it over to Ling Yun, "These are the ones you asked."

"Yes, finally!" Ling Yun exhaled.

"Brother Ling Yun is an alchemist?" Feng Yun asked out of curiosity.

Ling Yun shook his head, "No, I am more of an array guy."

"Ah, arrays," Feng Yun nodded, "What Rank of Array Master are you?"

"Peak Second Rank." Ling Yun smiled. 

"Ah," Feng Yun nodded, "You still have a long way to go. Since I will be troubling you for the next few months, how about I help you with arrays? I am also quite knowledgeable when it comes to this subject."

"Really?" Ling Yun raised his eyes in surprise, "What's your rank?"

Feng Yun shrugged, "It's a bit high. I will tell you if you can reach within the range of about two ranks of my rank."

"Range of about two ranks of  your rank?" Ling Yun frowned.

After a moment, a shocked expression formed on his face, "Are you a Fifth Rank Array Master!?"

Feng Yun smiled but didn't say anything.

"Impossible!" Ling Yun felt it was too absurd.

Even though Arrays were not as hard as Alchemy, it wasn't easy for someone his age to reach the Fifth Rank.

In fact, the most powerful Array Master in the Lower Heavens was at the Peak Fourth Rank!

And Feng Yun was claiming to be even more powerful than that person!?

This was too absurd.
