Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Jun Xie\'s main aim in coming to this place was to escape.

He wanted to get out of the Gracious Sword Sect and go on a journey to find the origins of his clan. The only clue he had right now was the pendant around his neck.

\'Hm? The pendant…\' Suddenly he put his hands on his chest to feel the pendant, but to his shock, the pendant was not there!

Immediately his face paled, and cold sweat dripped on his back.

"Did you see a pendant!?" He turned his head towards Ye Tian Yun and Yuan Shuchun to ask.

Yuan Shuchun didn\'t know what he was referring to, "What pendant?" 

While Ye Tian Yun opened his eyes and said, "Why do you think you\'re alive?"

This question confused Jun Xie, "What do you mean?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head and replied, "The strike from that guard, remember? How do you think you survived the strike from a Core Formation Realm cultivator?"

"Was it the pendant!?" Jun Xie was shocked.

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Of course. You\'re one lucky guy. The sword strike landed on the pendant instead of directly hitting your chest. This is why you survived, but the pendant broke because of this."

"Oh…" A deep frown formed on Jun Xie\'s face.

"Do you have the broken pendant…?" He asked, clinging to the final hope.

Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and took out the broken pendant from his spatial ring.

He had asked for it from Butler Liu before the latter departed for the Middle Heavens.

"Thank you!" Colour returned on Jun Xie\'s face after seeing the pendant.

This pendant meant a lot to him.

It had the clues behind his origin. And also, it was his main motivation to increase his cultivation and alchemy realm swiftly. He wanted to gain power and prestige and then confidently head to the Middle Heavens in search of his true parents.

Seeing its broken state, Jun Xie couldn\'t help but inwardly sigh.

The pendant had saved his life, but now he also lost the connection he felt with the word \'Liu.\'

Whenever he wore the pendant earlier, he had a sense of calmness, and he even felt a bit dependent on the pendant. But now, as he stared at the pendant, the feeling was gone.

He could find the Liu Clan without the pendant, but the main problem was he lost the only proof he had to make them believe his words.

\'Maybe this broken pendant will help…\'

Seeing his pale expression, Ye Tian Yun decided to cheer him up.

"The pendant… will disintegrate in six months and turn into dust."

Well, this was a different kind of \'cheering\', the Ye Tian Yun edition.

Hearing his words, Jun Xie raised his head and looked at him in shock, "Really!? Will it disintegrate?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yes. So you only have six months…"

Jun Xie nodded his head.

Six months.

It wasn\'t much… no, it wasn\'t enough at all. 

In six months, it would be a miracle if he even broke through two more levels. And this was never going to be enough.

He needed to reach at least Nascent Soul Realm cultivation level before heading to the Middle Heavens.

\'Sigh…\'

Jun Xie let out a long breath and leaned on the carriage wall behind him.

\'Is there no other way…\'

The pendant was no more useful for him. He needed something or someone who could help him out.

And at this instant, someone\'s face appeared in his mind.

\'Fang Chen!\'

It was the disciple he met in the Heavenly League\'s Banquet more than a month ago. 

That mysterious inner court disciple had not only seen through his Illusion Technique, but he had also revealed a bit about his origin.

And worst of all, Fang Chen had revealed his real name.

\'The name that only Master knew… how could Fang Chen know?\'

It was clear that Fang Chen knew something about his clan.

He might even know everything about Jun Xie!

\'I need to get to him…\'

Fang Chen was his last hope.

\'I won\'t leave him until he reveals everything. And I will definitely get the information out of him, by hook or by crook!\'

Ding!

Suddenly Ye Tian Yun heard a very familiar notification sound.

With a slight frown, he opened his eyes.

There wasn\'t anything in front of him, but he suddenly saw a red line blinking over Jun Xie.

When he focused his attention on the line, he found that the previous prompt had changed.

[Jun Xie. 5 Stars Favourability. Considers you as someone important. Will not harm or betray you.]

\'It rose by 1 star? Why? Because I gave him the pendant?\'

Ye Tian Yun couldn\'t help but frown at this.

\'This Jun Xie… is too fickle.\'

Shaking his head, Ye Tian Yun glanced at Jun Xie once again and said, "You should go out and sit with Fu Kai. Have some fresh air; this will help you recover faster."

Jun Xie nodded his head, and putting the jade around his neck; he went outside.

…

Both Xiao Ming and Fu Kai were sitting outside the carriage as the carriage rapidly moved towards the nearest town.

Suddenly, the curtain behind them moved, attracting their attention.

"Jun Xie!"

Both of them were pleasantly surprised to see the face.

"When did you wake up? How are you feeling right now? Does your chest still hurt? Why are you outside? Is everything alright?"

As soon as he saw Jun Xie, Xiao Ming launched a barrage of questions.

Jun Xie blinked at him twice. Confused at Xiao Ming\'s \'enthusiastic\' attitude, he replied, "I just woke up and am pretty healthy now. Just need some fresh air."

Xiao Ming\'s face glowed with a smile.

"You want to sit outside? Sure, sure! Yes, the fresh air will definitely improve your mood!"

Xiao Ming immediately moved and made space for Jun Xie to come and sit outside.

As soon as Jun Xie sat, Xiao Ming gave him and Fu Kai a wave of his hand and went inside the carriage.

"Miss me!?"
