Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Let\'s head to the Resource Hall." Yuan Shuchun tapped the table and stood up from her seat.

Ye Tian Yun and Xiao Ming nodded and followed her lead.

As soon as the trio got out of the Hall, they became the center of attraction.

None of them were normal disciples in the eyes of others.

While Xiao Ming was a rising star, Shu Xian already had deep-rooted fame.

As for Yuan Shuchun? Her fame was on another level.

And seeing these three together was sure to attract attention from all the disciples.

However, none of them were bothered by this.

Xiao Ming was not pretty much used to this, while Ye Tian Yun and Yuan Shuchun had practically lived a whole lifetime being the center of attention.

Letting out a sigh, Yuan Shuchun suddenly said, "Shu Xian. I want you to know one thing."

"What?" Ye Tian Yun was confused by her sudden statement.

"I want you to know that I know what you did during the banquet hall."

"What?" Ye Tian Yun was quite surprised.

\'She isn\'t planning to kill me secretly?\'

Even Xiao Ming looked at Yuan Shuchun in confusion.

\'Why bring up this topic right now?\'

Ye Tian Yun pursed his throat and said, "Yeah, I did what you asked me to do."

He was going to first test whether Yuan Shuchun was referring to the assassination attempt on her or was talking about something else.

Yuan Shuchun narrowed her eyes but didn\'t turn around.

After another few steps, she said, "I am not stupid enough to ask you to assassinate me."

Her voice turned stern by the end.

Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes, \'She\'s indeed referring to the assassination… what should I do…?\'

"Well, I am a bit confused here," Ye Tian Yun replied, "What are you suddenly talking about?"

Yuan Shuchun shook her head, "Don\'t play ignorant in front of me, Shu Xian. I know if you who arranged the assassination attempt on me. Unfortunately for you, it failed."

"What?" Ye Tian Yun acted shocked, "Senior Sister, what are you saying? I would be so stupid if I did that; you\'re the best protection I have in this sect."

"Well, quite nice of you to admit that fact, but I would rather not have you act ignorant about your wrongdoing."

Ye Tian Yun, however, was going to insist on being unaware of what\'s going on.

His thoughts were pretty simple; he wanted to create self-doubt within Yuan Shuchun.

But it seemed that Yuan Shuchun had very solid proof against him, "Well, Shu Xian, I could have you killed at any minute if I wanted to. I am still giving you a good chance."

Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes on her, but then he turned towards Xiao Ming and slightly exclaimed, "Do you know what she is talking about?" 

Xiao Ming shrugged, "Maybe the time you tried to kill her?"

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and said to Yuan Shuchun, "Senior Sister, please don\'t accuse without baselessly. I don\'t want my loyalty for you to falter."

Yuan Shuchun suddenly stopped for a moment and then resumed her steps once again.

Without any other conversation, they soon reached the Resource Hall.

"Why would Sect Leader Su call us here? He should have directly called us to the Grand Meeting Hall. I heard it\'s pretty fabulous." Xiao Ming remarked as they headed towards the counters.

Neither Ye Tian Yun nor Yuan Shuchun replied to him.

Sensing the weird atmosphere, Xiao Ming just shrugged and didn\'t say anything.

Soon they crossed the counters, and all three of them were asked for their disciple tokens.

Once the identities were verified, the trio headed straight for the second floor.

Looking around, they were quite surprised to see that there was no one else.

Yuan Shuchun gestured to Xiao Ming to check the rooms and went in the opposite direction, at the end of the hallway.

Ye Tian Yun moved towards the counter on the Second Floor and waited for both of them to return.

After a few moments, Xiao Ming returned and shook his head, indicating that there was no one in the rooms either.

Both of them stood in awkward silence as they waited for Yuan Shuchun to return.

"So it seems to be acting weird today," Suddenly Xiao Ming said, "You know, Yuan Shuchun knows everything about what you did during the banquet. And I trust the fact that you know more than me about her."

Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes on him.

"She will soon be coming after you." Xiao Ming slowly added.

Ye Tian Yun suddenly smiled, "What are you trying to do?"

Xiao Ming leaned his back on the wall at the opposite of the hallway and slowly said, "Well, I will be direct. You will be dead as soon as we\'re a good distance from the Sect."

"But I have a way you can save your life."

"Oh? What is it?" Ye Tian Yun was intrigued at what Xiao Ming was trying to do.

Xiao Ming shook his head, "You don\'t understand how grave danger you are in right now. Do you really think that just because you have been loyal to Yuan Shuchun for such a long time, she will forgive you for trying to kill her?"

"No."

"Then why don\'t I see any sincerity in you?" Xiao Ming snarled in a very low voice, "I have a way to let you save your life, but you don\'t seem sincere. You have already given up?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Well, I won\'t beg you to save me if that\'s what you\'re hoping for. Though I would spare few moments to hear your words."

Xiao Ming pursed his lips, "Be alert and wait for my signal. A lot of things will happen in the secret mission; as long as you keep me safe for the next two days, you will live."
