Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Crown Prince Xin took a deep breath and said, "Father, if you had agreed, I would have definitely succeeded."

"Oh?"

"Yes," Crown Prince replied with a confident tone, "And it\'s the participants of this mission who give me confidence."

"Oh?"

"Yes. Though, I felt that you would have said no without even listening to anything if I had mentioned who the participants were."

"Oh? Who are they?"

"They…" Crown Prince Xin pursed his lips and said, "They are few of the most talented disciples of the Gracious Sword Sect."

"Oh?"

"Yes, Father." Crown Prince Xin felt a bit nervous after hearing a monotonous reply from the King.

After a long silence, a few more words rang through the room.

"Alright, go ahead. Do what you were planning to do."

It was King Xin who had said these words.

And Crown Prince Xin was simply confused after hearing these words.

"Really..?" He had to confirm whether what he had just heard was true or not.

"Yes, I mean it." Crown Prince Xin could see King Xin nod his head.

"But why, Father? Didn\'t you say you have other plans? What about the hidden enemies? Don\'t you have any problem with me taking help from the sects?" Crown Prince Xin was quite confused at King Xin agreeing to allow him to go with the plan.

King Xin turned around and smiled at his son.

"Son, I am proud of you," He said, "However there are things and places where I can\'t show you blatant support."

"Like today?" Crown Prince Xin slightly frowned.

King Xin nodded his head, "Yes. And there were few other reasons for this too."

"Hm?" Crown Prince Xin was a bit confused.

"Tell me, do you know the history of the Gracious Sword Sect and Fang Yuan?" King Xin asked.

The Crown Prince was a bit thrown off by this sudden question, "I don\'t know too deeply. However, it\'s a very common knowledge that the current Sect Leader of the Gracious Sword Sect is very hedonistic and has spawned all over the kingdom."

King Xin shook his head, "Don\'t test me. Tell me the real things you know. What you just said is what the common people know."

Crown Prince Xin pursed his lips and said, "When Sect Leader Su Ming was an inner court disciple, he met the Fang Clan\'s Third Young Miss."

"Hmm, go on."

"Both of them fell in love, but due to differences in statuses, the new clan head of Fang Clan, Fang Yuan, didn\'t wish to see them together. In fact, there are rumors that it was you who was supposed to marry the Fang Clan\'s Third Miss."

"Unfortunately, it was too late by the time Fang CLan knew about this relationship, and they had already been living together."

"But in the end, they were separated, and both, Clan Head Fang Yuan and Inner COurt disciple Su Ming, became bitter enemies."

"This whole conflict led to other outcomes, first one was - Yours and Third Miss of Fang CLan\'s marriage annulled, and Sect Leader Su turned into a horny hedonistic person who now had an unknown number of children all over the kingdom."

King Xin shook his head, "This information that you know… is only half true. In fact, it\'s not even the real truth."

"What do you mean, Father?" Crown Prince Xin was a bit confused, "I got this information from Crimson Pavilion and our clan records. And I even confirmed it with my most reliable ally."

King Xin let out a sigh, "The real truth is way beyond anyone\'s imagination. And this is also the reason why Fang Yuan hates Su Ming."

"Even though Su Ming has grown up into a very decent guy, the things of the past cannot be changed now. And Fang Yuan\'s hatred for him will never decrease."

"What did Sect Leader Su Ming do?" Crown Prince Xin couldn\'t help but ask, "Isn\'t the difference of status and your marriage with the Third Miss of Fang Clan the main reasons for this conflict? And Prime Minister Fang even riled up the public and humiliated Sect Leader Su by spreading rumors about him?"

"Since when did Prime Minister Fang become the good guy in this story?"

King Xin smiled, "Marriage with me? No, this was never the case. In fact, the Third Miss of Fang Clan was like a little sister to me. Me and Fang Yuan both doted her a lot. And never once did I have any preposterous thoughts about her."

"Then?" 

"Well, fate played its game. And things that happened all those years ago led Fang Yuan and me to use all our wits and resources and plan the biggest upheaval within the kingdom."

"And all this is going to start at the time of the Grand Spirit Hunt."

"The whole fate of Xin Kingdom will change for the worse or the best in the coming few months."

After a slight pause, King Xin added, "Since the time to collect the fruits of all those years of labor is close, Fang Yuan doesn\'t wish to see any cracks in the plan. And neither do I."

"But there\'s a slight difference between us - we both might be avenging the past, but he\'s a Clan Head, while I am a King."

"The things that I need to keep in mind are way beyond anyone else\'s."

"This is why even though I said no in the Courtroom, this doesn\'t change the fact that such opportunities won\'t repeat themselves."

"We must take the best advantage of this situation and give such a big blow to the Wu King that its foundations will weaken to the point of extinction."

"But all this can\'t be known to the public and especially to Fang Yuan."

"You\'re threatening his plan, and you\'re also taking help from his biggest enemy - Feng\'er, just know this - if Fang Yuan gets to know the truth, even I won\'t be able to handle the control."

"This is why we must kill anyone who\'s going to be part of that mission.. All those disciples should be killed - no exceptions."
