Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"What do you mean by that, Disciple Fang?" Clan Head Zheng Yuan was quite offended.

Ye Tian Yun replied, "You heard it right. To be honest, this mission might leave the whole city bathed in blood."

"Hm?" Clan Head Zheng\'s expression turned serious, "Disciple Fang, I hope you\'re not joking."

"I am not," Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "I have been sent early to make a few arrangements for the disciples arriving in the Silver Mist City."

"Oh! When will the rest of the disciples arrive?"

"Hmm, they will arrive anytime now. Just look out for two carriages with Fu Clan banners."

"Fu Clan? The capital city\'s Fu Clan?" Zheng Yuan frowned.

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Indeed. That Fu Clan."

Clan Head Zheng Yuan asked, "Then what is going on, Disciple Fang? Please explain it to me thoroughly."

Ye Tian Yun smiled and began to explain to him.

"Clan Head Zheng Yuan, the situation is now pretty complicated."

"At first, there was only going to be just us and our target. However, now it seems as if there are a few more parties gathered here."

"They are waiting for us to strike first, and then they will reap all the benefits."

"And this is where your clan comes into the picture: The Zheng Clan is where the Crown Prince has told us to stay, but considering the current situation, the Zheng Clan will become a battlefield if we choose to stay here."

"Therefore, everyone had collectively decided not to associate with the Zheng Clan."

Seeing the paling face of Clan Head Zheng, Ye Tian Yun added, "At least not yet."

"We have decided that we will stay in a tavern."

"Now, Clan Head Zheng, if you can arrange a good tavern for the Gracious Sword Sect, it would be a great help."

Clan Head Zheng\'s face relaxed; they hadn\'t fully lost the chance to become close friends with the Gracious  Sword Sect.

"As you say, Disciple Fang."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and added, "Now, Clan Head Zheng, there is one last thing I want to add."

"Yes?"

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and glanced once at the guard standing near the door.

Clan Head Zheng immediately understood the implication, and stood up, and shouted, "Everyone, get fifty steps away from this place. No one is allowed to enter this area unless I take back this order!"

"Yes, Clan Head!"

Clan Head slightly nodded his head and turned towards Ye Tian Yun; he asked, "What is it, Disciple Fang?"

Ye Tian Yun leaned forward and began to whisper.

"Clan Head, I hope you understand the importance of this situation and hide all the young ones by putting a lockdown within the clan."

"You can even alert the allied clans about this, but don\'t reveal anything related to the sect mission."

"Now, the reason why I have made you send away the guards are because I want to tell you, and you alone, that the escape route of the disciples will be through your area."

Clan Head frowned, "That\'s no big deal. I would have objected if the escape route was through somewhere else."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "I know, but I doubt if you will say the same when you listen to what I am about to say next."

"Actually, Clan Head Zheng, there\'s another ally within the city, and he\'s working for the Gracious Sword Sect alone."

"Hm? What do you mean, Disciple Fang? Aren\'t we also working for the Gracious Sword Sect?" Clan Head Zheng asked in confusion.

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "There\'s a difference. Also, Crown Prince Xin himself is involved with you. However, for this clan, there\'s only the Gracious Sword sect."

"Which clan is it?"

Ye Tian Yun cleared his throat and whispered, "Jia Lei Clan."

"What!?" Clan Head Zheng Yuan was shocked.

"Since when did they have connections with the Gracious Sword Sect?" He was confused about this.

Jia Lei Clan had never shown any signs of affiliation to any powerful sect. They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and stood alone.

\'To think they are backed by Gracious Sword Sect… that bastard Jia Lei Shan hit it well.\'

Clan Head Zheng inwardly snickered, but then he suddenly remembered an important thing.

\'Wouldn\'t that mean we will have to be allies!? Impossible!\'

He looked at Ye Tian Yun, who just shrugged and gave him a wry smile.

After a long thought, he let out a sigh and said, "Alright, Disciple Fang."

"But tell me, what is Jia Lei Clan\'s role in this mission?"

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Ah, don\'t worry about that. Jie Lei Clan\'s contribution is insignificant when compared to yours. The only thing they\'ll help with will be during the escape of the disciples. Even then, since we will be escaping through your area, the credit will go to you."

"Oh," Zheng Yuan felt a bit relieved.

Ye Tian Yun smiled and stood up, "Clan Head Zheng, I will leave now. But keep in mind that you must not reveal this to anyone. Not even the Jia Lei Clan, or else they might hesitate and not give their best - in the end, compromising the whole mission."

"Clan Head Zheng, I hope you have understood my words, and also the fact that while you will get immense benefits after this event, you will also create a big trouble for yourself if this mission fails."

Clan Head Zheng raised his hands, "Disciple Fang, we have already talked about this to the Crown Prince."

"The Zheng Clan will give it\'s all. If the mission fails due to the error of the Zheng Clan, I will present him my head. However, if it fails due to someone else\'s mistake, the Zheng Clan shall not bear the brunt."

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Well, that\'s a good choice then. I hope Zheng Clan is ready for the next few days."

"We are."

"Alright then," Ye Tian Yun said, "Please prepare the tavern for the Gracious Sword Sect disciples and tell the guards that they will arrive in two Fu Clan carriages."

"I will."

After a few minutes, as Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Yuan were heading towards the exit, Clan Head Zheng Yuan suddenly asked, "Disciple Fang, do you know my son is also part of the Gracious Sword Sect? His name is Zheng Xiang. Have you two ever met?"

Ye Tian Yun smiled slightly when he heard those words.
