Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Manager Hao smiled and then turned towards Ye Tian Yun and asked, "What did you see?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged and looking at Zheng Xiang, he replied, "Zheng Xiang, just tap and come over here. You will know."

Zheng Xiang thought for a moment, then nodded and tapped on the table.

After crossing over, when Zheng Xiang looked around he found himself in shock as the whole scene had now changed.

Outside the counter, everything was the same. But across the counter, where Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang were now standing, a new row of racks had appeared with a round pillar behind them. There was a gate on this pillar.

"So there's an array here!?" Zheng Xiang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The manager nodded and said, "Indeed. Though there's nothing to hide, but, this array was placed long ago. An interesting fact about this array is that it doesn't need a lot of resources to run like the one which we have under the Spiritual Medicine Mountain, to keep the Qi Stealing Moles in check."

"Oh, is this the reason why the sect is still allowing this?" Ye Tian Yun asked Manager Hao.

"Yes, since this illusion array uses a low amount of resources and is very steady, the sect wasn't bothered too much by it."

Zheng Xiang, who was still looking around the counter in amazement, focused on Ye Tian Yun to ask, "Brother Fang, how did you know about this array beforehand? Were you able to see through the illusion?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "If you had observed this place very carefully, you too would have definitely noticed this. Just look around you. Why do you think this floor is decorated and well kept?"

Zheng Xiang raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Is all this for this array?"

"Of course. If I am not wrong, all this decoration is to deviate everyone's attention from this counter. Since this array needs low resources, this is very weak."

"And…?" Zheng Xiang paid attention to Ye Tian Yun's reply.

Ye Tian Yun continued, "Even a low Qi Refining Realm cultivator can see through this. However, with everything around this counter being highlighted and decorated so much, many disciples tend to miss this illusion since most of their attention is focused on the sculptures and paintings on the walls."

Zheng Xiang nodded his head as he came to an understanding.

Manager Hao who was silent, returned them their tokens and said, "Here, take these. Now, just go upstairs through that door. Also, remember not to make too much noise. Like this floor is fabulous, the second floor is serene for a reason too."

Ye Tian Yun nodded and headed for the door.

Zheng Xiang followed him and soon, after passing through the door, both were walking upstairs through a spiral stairway.

After some time, Zheng Xiang spoke, "Brother Fang, you still didn't tell me how did you notice the array?"

Ye Tian Yun replied, "It was a mere coincidence. I noticed something out of order when I was looking for the notice board. I observed the difference in decorations and how the counter, which is the most important place on this floor, is dull. And when looking at it carefully, I saw irregularities in my view, hence I concluded there was most probably an Illusion Array put on the counter."

"Ohh, I don't think I would have ever noticed this much." Zheng Xiang shook his head as he digested all the details.

"Even I wouldn't have if I didn't stop to look for any notice."

…

Soon they entered the Second floor of the Martial Book Pavilion.

As soon as they stepped inside they felt silence. Yes, they felt it. They felt silence.

There was no sound, no disturbance, not even faint breathing. There was nothing but only silence.

Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang stared at each other in shock. They were surprised by the calm atmosphere.

Instinctively both of them stepped back to the stairs, not daring to disturb the serenity of this floor.

"Brother Fang, why can't we have a normal floor? This place is too silent. Even my cultivation abode doesn't give me this weird feeling. Did you feel it too?" Zheng Xiang asked in shock.

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yes, this silence on this floor felt… weird. But did you also notice other disciples?"

"Yeah, I did. How are they able to even stay inside?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, he had no reply for this. Then he said,"We need to go back in. I think the situation is much more interesting than what meets the eye."

Both of them entered the second floor once again. However, this time everything was normal. There was nothing unordinary. Yes, there was silence. But it wasn't terrifying enough to give them a shock. They looked around. There were disciples standing or sitting, looking at cultivation manuals. Many were in Outer Court robes like them. These disciples were also the top disciples of the Inner Court Entrance Hunt.

But what attracted their attention was that there was no counter or any manager on this floor.

Without speaking anything they started to look for cultivation manuals.
