Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 159 - Gao Xuan Knows!



"Actually, there is one thing that you could tell me."

Gao Xuan stopped for a moment, and then looking at Ye Tian Yun, he asked, "What is it? I have quite a lot of information in my hand. But everything comes at a cost. As long as you can pay, you will get the information."

Crossing his hands together, he continued, "The only thing stopping you is the ability to buy the information. So, what do you want to know? Is it about how to get close to a female disciple? About any elder in the sect? About any league? About any secret affairs going on in the sect? What is it"

Ye Tian Yun opened and closed his mouth a few times before saying, "I just want to know… how do I get to the Grand Meeting Hall?"

Gao Xuan, who was expecting him to ask something very crucial, was stumped at those words, "You just need to go to the second floor of the Resource Hall; you will find the way."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Oh, that\'s good, I was going do that anyway."

Then looking at Gao Xuan, he said, "Alright then, it\'s time we depart." Taking a slight pause, he continued, "I hope you take the information regarding last night\'s incident to your grave. That will be the best outcome for you, Gao Xuan."

And without waiting for any response, Ye Tian Yun entered the Resource Hall.

On the other hand, Gao Xuan was left stunned by his words.

It was not the threat that shocked him, but rather, his name came out of Ye Tian Yun that made all his senses stop.

His expression turned grave as Ye Tian Yun\'s words echoed in his head. He let out a long breath and gave a long stare at the Resource Hall.

With his eyes narrowed, he turned around and headed back. However, the frown and worry on his face were suddenly gone, replaced with a slight smirk as he thought of the aim objective for which he had come here for.

He muttered under his breath, \'Trying to threaten me? This guy is too wet behind his ears; let\'s see if you dare to do this when we next meet. After all, even the real Fang Chen didn\'t try to be arrogant in front of me, and you\'re just someone in his disguise.\'

\'This guy was not Fang Chen. Fang Chen is most probably dead or kidnapped. That\'s good; this will make things quite interesting.\'

\'I want to witness the expression of Sect Leader Su when he comes to know that it is someone else who is in disguise of his son. And I want to witness panic on Prime Minister Fang Yuan\'s face when he knows that his nephew, the pawn which he had sent to the sect, was now no longer under his control.\'

\'I hope I complete my task here and become a witness of the spectacular upcoming drama. If I can find out who is in disguise of Fang Chen and what happened to the real Fang Chen, things would be even better for me.\'

...

Meanwhile, Ye Tian Yun, unaware of suspicion on him by Gao Xuan, had entered the Resource Hall and was heading towards the counters on the first floor.

Resource Hall was a two-floor building built on the far-left corner, which, as its name suggested, controlled and distributed resources to everyone in the sect. It also allocated resources needed for big events and missions to the disciples and elders. 

This Hall, unlike other departments, wasn\'t entirely controlled by the elders. The ones who took care of everything here were the managers. Managers did not have any political power in the sect and were mainly responsible for wealth management. They worked under core elders and were accountable for all resources.

The Resource Hall was a two-storey building, with the ground floor for all the resource allocation to Inner Court disciples and the upper floor for the management, core disciples, and elders.

As soon as one entered the Resource Hall, he would feel like he was in a vast rectangular auditorium, with counters on the opposite end. 

Each counter was adjacent to each other, and the disciples standing in front of them were separated by railings. This made everything much ordered and less crowded.

Just like yesterday when he had come here for his new Inner Court robes and disciple token, today too, the hall was bustling with disciples; some were here for resources while most of them were here for their tokens.

The Inner Court Entrance Hunt was not a small event and spanned the whole sect; thus, the number of disciples who got promoted was also a considerable amount in numbers, even though they were nothing as compared to the total number of disciples participating in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt.

Ye Tian Yun headed straight for the counter to get to the Second Floor of the Resource Hall.

As soon as his turn came, he brought out his token from his pocket and placed it on the counter, saying, "Here, this is my token, and I have been called to the Grad Meeting Hall by Grand Elder Li."

The manager at the counter turned serious when he heard Grand Elder Li\'s name and began to inspect the token.

After a moment of silence, he nodded his head, and without looking up, he said, "Be here for a minute; I will be right back."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head as he saw the manager stand up and head towards the Inner Region of the hall, most probably to talk to the supervisor or an elder.

It didn\'t take him long, and soon he had come out from behind the curtain, but along with him was an old elder, who was walking slowly towards Ye Tian Yun with his hands behind his back.

"Greeting, Elder," As soon as the Elder had arrived near the counter, Ye Tian Yun greeted him without any hesitation.

The elder nodded his head and acknowledged the greeting by gesturing his hand.

He then stared at the token for some time and said, "Who told you that Grand Elder Li called you?"

Ye Tian Yun calmly replied, "A disciple of Disciplinary Hall came to my cultivation abode and informed me about this."

The Elder nodded and said, "Follow me."

The manager then swiftly moved and turned the gate into a counter, allowing Ye Tian Yun to cross over and get to the other side.

He then followed the Elder, who had already started to walk away towards the inner direction without wasting any time.

While on the stairs, the Elder suddenly said, "Kid, I should thank you for your information yesterday\'s information. It saved a lot of things and lives. In fact, if not for your tip, the sect may have lost a lot of disciples or even elders. That would have been a grave tragedy."

Ye Tian Yun replied without any change in expression, "Elder, I did what I should have done. Any other disciple with the information I had would have done the exact same thing. The sect had given me a lot of things; I can\'t just let it disappear if I have a choice. And at that time, I did have a choice, to tell or not tell. And as you can see, I picked the right choice."

Seeing the Elder in front of him nod his head, Ye Tian Yun couldn\'t help but inwardly roll his eyes, \'I only did this to save my own life and not to let Xiao Ming die. The rest of the sect was just a complimentary bonus.\'

Unbeknownst to Ye Tian Yun\'s thoughts, the Elder was very satisfied from Ye Tian Yun\'s reply and was now in a good mood; he said, "Boy, you did choose the right option, and we, as elders of the sect, can see that. And trust me, you won\'t go unrewarded. You saved the sect; you will be equally rewarded. And if I am not wrong, Grand Elder Li would take you to \'that\' place."

"That place?" Ye Tian Yun asked; he really didn\'t like when people tried to come off as mysterious while talking about something. Just say it. It\'s not like something would happen.

"That place is the best place our whole sect has to offer to anyone. Even Sect Leaders don\'t get much chance to cultivate there, so when the time comes, cherish it properly. You might never get another chance like in the near future."

Ye Tian Yun\'s ears perked up when he heard about the word \'best place to cultivate,\' and he did have a faint idea of what it could be, but he wanted to see it with his own eyes, thus just silently nodded and waited for the time to witness \'that\' place. 

And in no time, both of them had reached the second floor, where just like yesterday, they found Elder Lai Chang sitting at the table straight in front of the stairs\' exit.
