Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Xiao Ming stood up and followed Ye Tian Yun and Yuan Shuchun.

For some reason, his whole body was hurting, as if someone had kicked him all over the place.

​​

"Guys, what happened here? What is going on?"

He asked once again, but no one bothered to reply.

Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun gestured with his hand to Yuan Shuchun to follow him and then headed towards a nearby alley.

Confused, Xiao Ming also followed.

But when they got there, both Xiao Ming and Yuan Shuchun were surprised after seeing the scene.

Someone was lying unconscious at that place.

"What is Jun Xie doing here?" Xiao Ming asked.

Ye Tian Yun didn\'t reply but moved and picked up Jun Xie on his shoulders.

Then glancing at Yuan Shuchun, he said, "Let\'s go. We need to get out of here."

Yuan Shuchun nodded and followed him, Xiao Ming also walking just two steps behind.

Ye Tian Yun didn\'t return to the ruined Ao Ba Clan where the assassination incident had taken place.

He instead moved towards the Zheng Clan.

\'I hope Fu Kai listened to me… Wu Qingwu should be safe.\'

Earlier, during the assassination attempt, Ye Tian Yun had already noticed that the maid that got kicked out and struck the wall was actually the Third Princess of Wu Royal Clan, Wu Qingwu.

He had secretly informed Fu Kai about this and had told him to get the unconscious maid and wait for them outside the city.

However, there was a small deception that Ye Tian Yun used to cover it up.

He didn\'t tell Fu Kai that the maid was actually the target that they were here for. Instead, he said to him that the maid was actually his Sister-in-law, held captive by the Wu Royal Clan against her wishes.

\'Technically, this was the truth. Wu Qingwu is my "future" Sister-in-law.\'

The main reason why he didn\'t tell the truth was that Fu Kai might lose hope in their survival and go back alone.

Since he already had Wu Qingwu, there was no need for him to wait.

However, due to Ye Tian Yun\'s small deceit, he was thinking that the maid was his sister-in-law.

And considering Fu Kai\'s character, Ye Tian Yun knew he wouldn\'t do anything stupid and would even confirm the outcome of the incident with his own eyes before deciding upon anything.

\'I wonder if I will meet him on the way?\'

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and thought as he moved closer to the Zheng Clan.

After a few minutes, Ye Tian Yun suddenly remembered something, and without turning back, he said, "Don\'t dare to reveal my identity to anyone. You will only bring yourself into endless troubles."

Yuan Shuchun and Xiao Ming immediately nodded. 

After some time, Xiao Ming slightly increased his pace and came on equal footing with Ye Tian Yun.

Clearing his throat, he asked, "Ahem, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun… can I ask you something?"

Ye Tian Yun frowned but didn\'t say anything. Yuan Shuchun glanced at him and paid attention to the conversation.

"I will take that as a yes," Xiao Ming took a light breath and asked, "Is your cultivation realm… Peak Foundation Establishment Realm!?"

Behind him, Yuan Shuchun raised her eyebrows in shock.

\'Peak Foundation Realm!? That\'s… that\'s impossible!\'

She turned her head towards Ye Tian Yun to see his response.

Ye Tian Yun, however, instead of replying, asked another question, "What did you see in the illusion?"

"Illusion?" Xiao Ming frowned, "Everything was an illusion!?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Not everything. It wasn\'t a simple illusion. It was more of an alternate reality."

"Alternate reality…" Xiao Ming frowned, "How did it even happen?"

Ye Tian Yun replied, "Token Of Fate."

"Token Of Fate?" Xiao Ming asked, "Token Of Fate doesn\'t have power over reality…"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "It doesn\'t, but everything happened because of Token Of Fate."

Xiao Ming asked, "Do you know why this happened?"

Ye Tian Yun said, "As far as I know, it was most probably a trial made by the Token Of Fate."

"A Trial?" Xiao Ming frowned, "Why would the Token Of Fate do a trial on me?"

"On you?" Ye Tian Yun gave him a disdaining side glance, "You think too highly of yourself. The trial was for me."

"For you!? How is that possible? It was me who was in the illusion… wait, were you too?" Xiao Ming got even more confused.

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "No, I wasn\'t. But things are much more complicated than you think."

Xiao Ming glanced at Yuan Shuchun and asked, "Do you know what happened?"

"Hmph!" Yuan Shuchun pouted and looked at the way.

Xiao Ming could only ask Ye Tian Yun once again, "Brother Ye…. I… I mean, Your Highness Crown Prince, could you please tell me what actually happened?"

Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and said, "I will tell you, but you will have to do one thing."

"I will do anything!" Xiao Ming immediately replied.

…

A few moments later, Ye Tian Yun was walking ahead with his hands behind his back.

Closely following him was Yuan Shuchun, trying hard to control her laugh.

And behind them was Xiao Ming.

"This damn bastard…. So heavy…" He gritted his teeth and continued to follow them.

On his back was unconscious Jun Xie, sleeping soundly.

Xiao Ming gritted his teeth and somehow increased his pace, "Your Highness, I have taken Jun Xie on my back as you asked. Now please explain to me what happened."

Ye Tian Yun replied without glancing at him.

"The Token Of Fate tested me for some reason. And the reason you went berserk was because the Token was testing me if I would kill you or not."

"What?" Xiao Ming asked, "So…. I was just a guinea pig?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Indeed."

Xiao Ming then asked, "So, did you pass or fail the trial?"

Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes, "Guess."

Xiao Ming replied, "You failed… since I am still alive."
