Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"I got a deal for you - I ask you something, and if you could provide me with the information, I will give you one hint on what you\'re here for."

Ye Tian Yun put forward his card. 

Gao Xuan squinted his eyes but did not decide anything for some time.

After a long awkward silence, he finally agreed, "Alright, ask. But it will be on me if I wish to take your deal or not."

Ye Tian Yun nodded, and then as he leaned forwards, he said, "Gao Xuan, tell me the names of the disciples the Sect Leader enlisted."

Gao Xuan smiled as he heard the question, "Well, this isn\'t hard."

Ye Tian Yun\'s face relaxed a bit. He had expected this response.

Even though the gRacious Sword Sect had kept everything tight-lipped, Ye Tian Yun was confident that Gao Xuan would know the answer.

And from the answer he got in the relaxed tone, Ye Tian Yun felt that one of the big obstacles was now clear.

Well, almost clear.

"I can give you the list, but what if the hint that you give me is not the one I need?"

Ye Tian Yun gave a slight smile, "don\'t you worry about that. I know for sure what you\'re here for. Let me tell you one thing - It is here."

Gao Xuan frowned.

Ye Tian Yun leaned back and didn\'t repeat himself.

"Is it here?" Gao Xuan asked with his eyes narrowed.

After a moment of thought, Gao Xuan\'s stiff posture relaxed a bit.

He touched his spatial ring with his thumb, and a piece of paper appeared in his hand.

Slowly, he put it on the table.

Ye Tian Yun looked over but didn\'t say anything.

"This is the list of the disciples taking part in the secret mission." Gao Xuan said.

Ye tian YUn replied, "The thing you\'re looking for lies under the Fourth peak."

Gao Xuan frowned, and after a few moments, his face turned into an expression of realization.

"Damn! I should have known!" Gao Xuan slammed his palm on the table.

"To think it\'s under the Fourth PEak and not in the First, SEcond or even the Ninth Peak!? Damn those old fogies!"

Ye Tian Yun just shrugged at his reaction. 

This was quite expected because Gao Xuan was here to find something that deserved such a reaction.

Calming himself, Gao Xuan put his fingers on the paper at the table and pushed it towards the Table.

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, and as soon as he touched the paper, it disappeared.

With the deal done, Ye Tian Yun stood up and began to leave.

"Don\'t you have anything else to ask?" Gao Xuan called him from behind.

Ye Tian Yun halted his steps and turned towards him, "Well, I do have a lot of unanswered questions, but you don\'t know the answers."

Gao Xuan frowned at the last words.

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Don\'t worry, I don\'t doubt your abilities and reach. It\'s just that you don\'t know the answers yet. Maybe after a few days, months, or years, you will know. We might have another deal when that happens."

Gao Xuan\'s face relaxed as he smirked, "You sure about that? Because I am quite confident that after some time, I won\'t need to do such deals to get information - I will have control over everything, on my own."

Ye Tian Yun\'s smile didn\'t falter, "We will see, Gao Xuan, we will see."

With that said, he turned around and headed out of the room.

Gao Xuan stared at his disappearing back and, after some time, couldn\'t help but sigh.

"What happened, Young Master?" The maid who had brought Ye Tian Yun into the room was still standing in a corner.

Gao Xuan had a lost expression while replying, "Mie\'er, now I am not sure if I should go ahead with my plan."

Mei\'er, the maid, pursed her lips, "Young Master, you should follow your mind, not your heart. And this one isn\'t even the real Fang Chen."

Gao Xuan nodded his head, "That\'s why I am hesitant. This guy was not the real Fang Chen. Fang Chen is long dead."

"What!? He killed Fang Chen!?" Mei\'er couldn\'t help but have her voice raised in shock.

Gao Xuan nodded his head. 

"This guy made some noob mistakes and left a good number of clues behind - except for the question \'who killed fang chen\', everything is answered. And now, even this is answered since this guy is in Fang Chen\'s disguise."

"Young Master, why didn\'t you take advantage of this? He couldn\'t even threaten you anyway. You could have easily made him bow down. There wasn\'t any need to give him the information."

Gao Xuan smiled, "No, that would have been a grave mistake. This guy… whoever he was… he doesn\'t share the same interest as I do in collecting information. However, he does hold a lot of information in his grasp."

"Don\'t forget that he knows what I have come here for - even you don\'t know that. I haven\'t given a clear objective to anyone of you."

"ANd the most important thing that stopped me from doing anything - was the fact that he was staring at the wall."

Mei\'re was confused, but then it dawned upon her.

"He saw through!?" Her shock could be sensed through her voice.

Gao Xuan nodded with a grave expression, "He saw through all of you."

As soon as he finished, the wall behind him began to turn black, and the transparent view slowly disappeared.

"Master, that\'s impossible." Another voice replied.

Gao Xuan smiled, "Dae Mon, he saw through you and your kind. He saw that you were ready to attack him at a moment\'s notice, and he also saw through all the traps that were ready to strike him we he dared to do anything suspicious."

"Impossible!" The voice sounded. Filled with shock, it was actually coming from within the wall!

Gao Xuan narrowed his eyes and got up from his seat.

The wall had once again turned transparent, and he could see Ye Tian Yun\'s back moving through the crowd of disciples.

Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun stopped and turned his head.

Staring straight into Gao Xuan\'s eyes, he smiled and turned back.. Once again disappearing into the crowd of disciples.
