Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Jun Xie was confused.

And he had many questions.

Because he remembered one more thing.

…

"Why don't you call him father?" Jun Xie asked.

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Maybe because I don't want to."

"You don't want to?" Jun Xie frowned, "Dude, you can trust me a little bit, right?"

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Alright. I will tell you two little secrets. I am not the son of Prime Minister Fang."

"What!?" Jun Xie almost jumped from his seat, "What the fuck are you saying!?"

Looking to his left and right, he then leaned forward and whispered, "Prime Minister Fang is not your Father!? Who is your Father then? Don't tell me, Madam Fang…."

"No." Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Madam Fang never betrayed Prime Minister Fang. In fact, I am not her son either."

"Then whose son are you?" Jun Xie asked.

…

'He said he's not the son of Prime Minister… and he's saying he's not the son of Sect Leader Su… who's his father then….?'

Jun Xie wanted to ask questions right away, but then he suddenly noticed the presence of Sect Leader Su and Madam Fang Bai, both of them conversing politely and respectfully with 'Fang Chen.'

'What's wrong with these two….'

He sighed.

Just then, Ye Tian Yun patted him on the shoulder and said to the couple, "This is my friend, Jun Xie," He added, "I don't know if Sect Leader Su knows, but he's a disciple of your sect, the Gracious Sword Sect."

Sect Leader Su smiled and said while staring at Jun Xie, "Of course I know. I think this brat is the one who didn't recognize me yet."

Jun Xie smiled, putting his questions at the back of his head. He said, "Sect Leader Su, how can I not recognize you? It was just that I was too surprised to encounter you here all of a sudden."

"Oh?" Sect Leader Su smiled, "Well, then you should greet your aunt."

Jun Xie laughed, "I am already acquainted with her, Sect Leader!"

"Hm?" Sect Leader Su was a bit taken aback, and glancing at Madam Fang Bai, he asked, "You two know each other?"

"Yes," Madam Fang Bai nodded, "I was about to tell you, but I didn't even get a chance. And not only do I know Jun Xie, but he's also staying in the Fang Clan and is a close friend of our son!"

"What!?" Sect Leader Su was shocked, "Really? What a coincidence!"

"It was a chance meeting in the sect," Jun Xie smiled, "And now I am on a journey to look for my clan, so I thought of leeching off of Fang Chen while I prepared myself!" 

He scratched the back of his head in an embarrassed laugh.

Madam Fang Bai shook her head, "How can you be leeching off? I am quite glad that he at least has a friend. In fact, ever since he got admitted into the GRacious Sword Sect, his attitude and cultivation have increased a lot."

Sect Leader Su smiled, "well, he earned his rewards. And I am so proud of him!"

After a slight pause, Sect LEader Su couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, do you also know my son?"

Ye Tian Yun paused, and as Jun Xie stared at him, he replied, "Well, not that much. I am here on a not-so-public visit to the Lower Heavens."

"Ah, I am glad you're at least acquainted." Sect Leader Su smiled, "I could have never imagined that."

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Well, it was fate."

Jun Xie suddenly asked, "Sect Leader Su, if you don't mind, may I ask why are you here? With your status and cultivation, I don't think there's a need for you to disguise yourself."

Sect Leader Su sighed, "Well, I have my circumstances. It's not a big secret, and I wouldn't have been in any trouble if I came here without any disguise, but my wife would have faced unnecessary trouble."

Fang Bai sighed, "And my brother too. These days King Xin is acting strange and has been targeting my brother and his allies. If my husband were to come here as the Sect Leader of the Gracious Sword Sect, King Xin would have gotten another reason to belittle my brother in the Courtroom."

Jun Xie sighed, "The political matters are as complicated as ever."

Sect Leader Su smiled, "It's true. But at the end of the day, only the strong have a say."

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Indeed. No amount of politics can oppose the absolute suppression from cultivation."

Sect Leader Su agreed and said, "On that note, Crown Prince, is GEneral Liu here?"

'General Liu…'

Jun Xie suddenly frowned.

'Liu…'

A pendant's image flashed in his mind.

And he glanced at Ye Tian Yun, now even more questions.

Ye Tian Yun inwardly sighed, 'I bet Jun Xie noticed…. Sigh, why can't this be just a normal day?'

But his outward expression showed calmness, "Butler Liu is not here; what happened?"

'...Butler Liu?' Two more questions formed in Jun Xie's mind.

"Ah, I was just asking, Your Highness," Sect Leader Su replied, "He will be leading us on our mission this time, and since in our last meeting he visited the sect with you, I thought he's still in the Lower Heavens."

"Oh, I am on my own mission for now," Ye Tian Yun smiled, "What's the mission about, if I may ask?"

The matter of the Great Ye corps was kept very secret, and even Ye Tian Yun had no access to the mission and other details.

And Sect Leader Su's reply agreed with this statement, "My apologies, your Highness. But I am not allowed to reveal any details, at least not until you have officially become a part of the corps."

Ye Tian Yun sighed, "That's a long way to go. Half-Saint Realm will take a few years."

'A few years….' Sect Leader Su and Madam Fang Bai were shocked, 'Ah, he isn't called the most talented for no reason….'

In the previous generation, when Emperor Ye broke through to the Half-Saint Realm at the age of 27, he had shocked the whole world and had become the closest cultivator ever to reach the level of Heavenly Emperor in this era!

Though it was broken in Ye Tian Yun's previous life by him when he reached the Half-Saint Realm at the age of 22, right now, however, all this is the supposed future, and no one knows about it.

This was why the couple was surprised, as for Jun Xie…

'He sure can bluff….'

He didn't believe a word of it. 

He knew Fang Chen's cultivation was in the Qi Condensation Realm, and to reach the Half Saint Cultivation Realm, the latter won't need a few years, but a few decades.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the couple took their leave.

Ye Tian Yun sighed, "Well, this was interesting."

He then glanced through the garden, and as expected, the Princess was still not here.

'A few more minutes and it will be past evening… I should wait until then. After all there's one more issue to resolve.'

The meeting may not have given him much information, but it did trigger something in Jun Xie's mind.

'He better think about it and ask me the questions.'

This was what Ye Tian Yun wanted.

Since he had decided to change the approach and let Jun Xie be aware of the truth, Ye Tian Yun wanted to see the whole matter to the end and let Jun Xie be mindful of the situation.

'At the end of the day, he will either go back to his sect, or he will stay by my side.'

Ye Tian Yun wasn't perturbed by any of the situations.

If Jun Xie chose to leave, Ye Tian Yun wouldn't bother much.

In fact, if he even revealed the truth behind Fang Chen's death, Ye Tian Yun would only feel disappointed, but his plans wouldn't fail completely.

He still had one more backup plan that he was yet to use, and this plan was the most powerful one - his own background!

The only reason why he wasn't yet using this as the main priority was that this was too much attention-seeking.

'And it will become a messy matter since I will have to officiate the wedding of Princess Xin Xue Qing and me.'

But if Jun Xie chose to stay with him and keep everything a mutual secret, Ye Tian Yun would help him with whatever he could.

'Also, there's that thing too….'

The Token of Fate.

It was finally going to be in the real us.

He sat back on the seat and glanced at Jun Xie.

The latter had been silent ever since Sect Leader Su and Madam Fang Bai left. He was lost in his thoughts as a deep frown had formed on his head.

And as Ye Tian Yun glanced at the top of his head, a prompt appeared in the next instant.

[Jun Xie. 3 Star Favourability. Confused by the words he heard, he now has a lot of questions that need answers.]

Ye Tian Yun smiled and asked Jun Xie, "What happened? Why are you so silent?"

Jun Xie didn't reply and was still lost in his own thoughts.

Ye Tian Yun sighed, "I guess you have a lot of questions to ask. Ask away; the princess is not here yet; we still have some time."

Jun Xie froze and then slowly turned his head towards Ye Tian Yun. He stared at the latter for a long time; And then organizing his thoughts, questions, and focus, he asked.

"Who… are you? Fang Chen? Crown Prince Ye?"
