Ye Tian Yun's dilemma was whether he should follow System's advice or find a way on his own. However, after thinking and understanding that he clearly has no choice here. He had to let everything up to fate.
But then, he felt how ridiculous this thought was. Isn't his main aim not to let fate control his life, but rather it should be him who decides his own fate?
Taking a deep breath, he reassessed his situation. His aim is to kill Xiao Ming and take the Token of Fate. He knows where he can kill Xiao Ming, but he doesn't know whether Xiao Ming has encountered the Token Of Fate.
Ye Tian Yun knows that his own cultivation speed is very fast, and with the ample amount of resources in the Middle Heavens, it wouldn't have been hard for him to cross the Tri-Qi cultivation realms, however, right now he is in Lower Heavens. He doesn't have many resources, and the Qi density here is very low, this will affect his cultivation. But it was different for Xiao Ming's case. Once he possesses the Token Of Fate, his cultivation will increase in leaps and bounds and he will become unstoppable before the Grand Spirit Hunt even begins.
Grand Spirit Hunt is only six months away and for Xiao Ming, this time is the most important, this is the time where his fate is affected by the Token and his cultivation path becomes much more softer, break through's become easy, new cultivation stage becomes stable. And all this is possible because of his 'plot armours'.
Ye Tian Yun wanted to slow him down. It wasn't that he was afraid or anything, but rather, he didn't wish to take any chances. One thing he had learnt in his life is that his enemies, the protagonists, had insane luck especially the possessor of Token Of Fate, Xiao Ming.
And to slow down Xiao Ming's rise, Ye Tian Yun wanted to take away his plot armour, like the manual which was supposed to be on the Third Floor.
But since the manual wasn't hers, he had no way of stopping Xiao Ming. Unless he followed System's advice which was to make Yuan Shuchun his ally, but how will this get him the manual? Yuan Shuchun doesn't have that manual, he was sure of this.
'Wait, didn't she just invite me to the banquet?' Something suddenly clicked in his mind, 'Won't Xiao Ming also be present at that place? And this banquet must have also happened last time too, and since Xiao Ming did get the manual, and I have to go to banquet anyway, why shouldn't I first understand the situation between Yuan Shuchun and Xiao Ming?'
Nodding to himself, he got up and started the moving towards the counter near the spiral staircase.
The manager looked up and was surprised to see the disciple returning so soon, usually, he would have to kick out the disciples because most of them just wouldn't leave this floor easily. As much as the disciples hated this floor, they didn't want to leave this floor easily.
Shaking his head with a sigh, the manager moved his hand under the desk and brought out a token. Putting the token on the desk, he resumed his work of looking through the manual records.
Ye Tian Yun picked up his new Inner Court disciple token and nodding at the manager, he headed towards the spiral stairway.
As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he felt quite refreshed. No more colourless, dull world. With a wry smile, he headed back to the First Floor.
When he was about to pass by the Second Floor, he stopped for a second and poked his head inside to look for Zheng Xiang. That guy was nowhere to be found. He did notice that Elder Xie, who had brought him to the third floor, was still focused on the same cultivation manual as earlier.
Turning back, he started to head towards the First Floor. However just as he turned, he banged his head into another disciple.
"Ah, damn it. Who is courting death!?" That disciple cried out as he covered his eyes in pain, while trying to regain his balance to avoid falling back downstairs.
Ye Tian Yun frowned when he saw the disciple. He recognised him very well. The disciple was Hou Xing, a disciple of Seventh Peak ranked below himself, at second position, in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt yesterday.
However his frown wasn't because of Hou Xing's rank but it was because of the relationship between Fang Chen and Hou Xing.
These two guys, one from a top clan, other from a weak powerless clan, were always at loggerheads. And it was mainly because Hou Xing's clan was like servants to the Fang Clan, and this led to Fang Chen act very arrogant and conceited whenever he met Hou Xing.
When Hou Xing regained his balance, and saw who was standing in front of him, he was shocked for a moment, and couldn't help but cry out, "It's you! What are you doing here!?"
Ye Tian Yun, raising his chin and putting on an arrogant smile, replied to him with half closed eyes, "Butler Hou, is this how you talk to your master?"
