Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Damn, this one was quite hard." Zheng Xiang massaged his neck while heading for the chain bridge to get to the Seventh Peak.

\'Fuuuu…\' 

Letting out a long breath, he massaged his left arm.

"Ugh, this hurts a lot," His face grimaced while groaning.

While massaging his hand, Zheng Xiang raised his head and suddenly found a familiar back.

Frowning, he increased his pace as he headed towards the Chain Bridge.

As Zheng Xiang got closer, he could finally recognize who the person in front of him was.

"Brother Fang, long time no see!" He called out.

The disciple in front of him turned around and nodded his head at him in a nonchalant expression.

It was indeed Ye Tian Yun.

He had returned from the First Peak, and after separating from Elder Lai Chang, he came to the Chain Bridge to head back to his cultivation abode.

At first, he was quite surprised by the dense crowd of disciples everywhere but later realized that it was all due to the Gracious Sword Rankings Tournament.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts while waiting, he heard Fang Chen\'s name being called out from behind and had to turn around, only to find an acquaintance, Zheng Xiang.

Looking at his wrecked state, Ye Tian Yun couldn\'t help but ask, "So you are also participating in the Gracious Sword Rankings?"

Zheng Xiang sighed and nodded his head, "It\'s a drag."

Ye Tian Yun was surprised, "You lost?"

Zheng Xiang shook his head, "More like, barely defeated my opponent."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and turned around towards the endless ravine.

Zheng Xian took a few steps ahead and stood parallel to him, overlooking the endless ravine and the huge Seventh Peak beyond it.

"Magnificient, isn\'t it?" He said.

Ye Tian Yun acknowledged.

This geographical location was indeed quite scenic. If the Qi concentration was not taken into account, this sect had the picturesque atmosphere of a sect in the Middle Heavens.

"So.. where have you been these days? I haven\'t seen you ever since the banquet." Zheng Xiang asked while still massaging his left arm.

Clearly, the beautiful scenery in front of him didn\'t ease any pain.

Ye Tian Yun didn\'t immediately reply, but after a few moments, he asked, "Were you the one who knocked on my cultivation abode?"

Zheng Xiang was surprised, "Ah, so you were indeed in your cultivation abode."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head. He had fired an arrow in the dark by asking him that question, and it seems it had hit the target perfectly - Ye Tian Yun didn\'t need to tell Zheng Xiang where he truly was.

He had cleared any possible suspicion in Zheng Xiang\'s mind by asking him that question regarding any chances of lying.

He continued to ask, "So, why were you knocking? I was going through a critical breakthrough, so I couldn\'t have myself distracted."

Zheng Xiang nodded and said, "I was just - wait - critical breakthrough?"

He frowned and looked from up to down, "Damn, don\'t tell me you broke through the Second Level of Qi Condensation Realm!?"

By the end of his sentence, he was almost shouting - loud enough to attract the attention of surrounding disciples.

Ye Tian Yun didn\'t bother to verify Zheng Xiang; he just shrugged.

But apparently, this was enough for Zhang Xiang as his eyes opened wide, "God damn, the gap increased even more! Didn\'t you just have a breakthrough last month!?"

Ye Tian Yun inwardly rolled his eyes and took the conversation to the previous topic, "So, why did you come knocking on the door?"

Zheng Xiang coughed, "Well, there were two reasons…"

"The first one was to get to the Gracious Sword Ranking Tournament, and the other one… well… it was just to go sightseeing through the Sect."

"Sightseeing?" Ye Tian Yun couldn\'t help but squint his eyes at him.

"Sightseeing what?" He asked Zheng Xiang.

Zheng Xiang looked the other way and said, "Nothing, just wanted to admire the beauty of this sect with you."

Ye Tian Yun cringed and took two steps away from him.

Zheng Xiang coughed, "Dude, you\'re taking it the wrong way."

Ye Tian Yun replied with a disdainful expression, "How am I supposed to take it as then? You came all the way to my cultivation abode and wanted to bring me with you to roam through the sect… ugh."

Zheng Xiang rolled his eyes, "It\'s not like I was calling you for a date, I… cough... I needed your help."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Help? Help in what?"

Zheng Xiang lowered his head a bit, moved closer to the Ye Tian Yun, and glanced to his left and right; he slowly whispered, "You... Do you remember the girl we met at the Heavenly League\'s banquet?"

Ye Tian Yun frowned, and a beautiful figure appeared in his mind.

Yuan Shuchun.

\'Well, if we don\'t look at her poisonous heart, she\'s indeed a beauty.\'

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head at Zheng Xiang, indicating that he remembered this beauty.

Zheng Xiang\'s lips curved in a small smile as he put his hands behind his back, raised his chest, and said, "I am in love with that girl."

Ye Tian Yun, who had just started to move towards the closing in Chain Bridge, almost staggered.

"What the fuck!?" He shouted while putting one of his hands on his chest.

He immediately looked around and put his arm around Zheng Xiang\'s neck, and brought him closer, "Do you have any idea what the fuck you\'re trying to say?"

Zheng Xiang, on the other hand, was hella confused by Ye  Tian Yun\'s sudden reaction.

However, he nodded his head.

"Yes, I am one hundred and one percent sure that I am in love with this girl. I must get close to her."

Ye Tian Yun stared at him with his mouth open and, for the first time since his rebirth, he had the biggest urge to facepalm.

...
