Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Why will Crown Prince Xin come here?" Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but ask.

Fu Kai gave him a weird gaze, "Don't tell me you don't know who organized this mission?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "No- not that, I know it is mainly orchestrated by the Crown Prince and Sect Leader Su. But I am asking, what's the need for him to come here? He could easily manage things from his palace."

"Well, I most probably think it's just Crown Prince Xin being nervous." Fu Kai replied.

Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything else.

'Well, I can't deny the fact that Crown Prince Xin is still young. Maybe after two or three years, he will grow stronger and steadier, so Fu Kai's words might carry some weight here.'

'Well, since he's coming, I must analyze this guy. I can't trust the reports and go with what they say. Being in Fang Chen's disguise has already taught me a few good lessons.'

Looking at the slowly lit-up sky, Ye Tian Yun asked, "How long before we meet up with Crown Prince Xin?"

"Hmm," Fu Kai thought for a moment and replied, "Most probably in an hour or so?"

"There's a lake that we have to pass by. After that, we will meet him."

"Oh," Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Let's see how he is. I have never actually met him in person."

"Yeah, that's natural. Both of your lives have been far apart." Fu Kai agreed.

Ye Tian Yu leaned back, and with his hands behind his head and one leg on the other, he closed his eyes.

"Can't you remain awake?" Fu Kai suddenly said.

"Hmm?"

"Can't you remain awake?" Fu Kai asked once again, "We will meet Crown Prince Xin anytime soon, so this makes the current situation more prone to encounter an ambush."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Don't worry about that, we have -"

Ye Tian Yun suddenly frowned a bit and then said, "We have Peak Master Duan from our sect. He's supposedly in the Peak Core Formation Realm."

"Peak Core Formation Realm!?" Fu Kai was stumped.

"That's pretty high. I didn't think your Sect Leader would take this case so seriously."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged.

He was finding it hard to judge what Sect Leader Su was actually trying to do.

First, he sent two of the biggest rivals of Jiang Chen to a certain death mission.

Then he sent his most trusted ally to guard them?

'Sect Leader Su is either playing fair, or it's going to be a big scheme.' Ye Tian Yun thought.

If he thought about the report on this incident in his previous life, the incident later came out to be a scheme by Sect Leader Su to remove Jun Xie and Yuan Shuchun out of the way for Jiang Chen.

However, that time was quite different.

In the current timeline, Jiang Chen was in a half-death state. He wouldn't be able to participate in the Grand Spirit Hunt.

And on top of that, Sect Leader Su even sent Peak Master Duan to protect the disciples in case of danger.

'Did he change his plans and lose hope in Jiang Chen? Maybe he's trying to make up with Jun Xie and Yuan Shuchun?'

'It's easy to conclude in this case, but I have a certain feeling that there's more to this than what I am seeing.'

Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but have a weird feeling that there was something else that he didn't know about.

'Let's hope all these problems don't get dumped on me. I already have a lot on my plate; I definitely won't like to create more problems for myself.'

Just then, Fu Kai called out.

"The lake's here."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head.

Even though they were still passing through the jungle, everyone could sense that they were near a huge water body, which was most probably the lake they were waiting for.

Because when we get close to a lake or a river, we can easily sense it through the smell in the air and the noise of splashing water.

And here, they could hear both.

"There's a waterfall too?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

Fu Kai nodded, "Yes, the site is just amazing."

"We will be passing the lake from right in front of the waterfall."

"The waterfall is at the beginning of the lake."

"Oh," Ye Tian Yun nodded, "So, Crown Prince Xin will be on the other side of the lake?"

"Yes." Fu Kai replied while whipping the Ferghana Horses to move faster.

In the first carriage, a similar scene was being played; the only difference was, while Qin Shen was driving the carriage, Yuan Shuchun was inside the carriage, leaning in the arms of Xiao Ming.

"Yes, Miss Yuan," Qin Shen said in a respectful tone, "Crown Prince Xin will be there with some of his trusted guards."

"Why weren't we informed about this earlier? Sect Leader Su never mentioned it." Yuan Shuchun's faint voice came out from the carriage.

Qin Shen gave a wry smile, "Miss Yuan, I don't know the details. But I was told that there was a last-minute change of plans and to inform you about this meeting only in the morning."

"Oh? This doesn't sound like there was a last-minute change of plans… it's more like the Crown Prince deliberately didn't wish Sect Leader Su to know of our meeting."

"I don't know, Young Miss." Qin Shen replied.

It was hard to judge if he was acting or he genuinely didn't know.

Yuan Shuchun didn't press on the topic, though she did say, "Well, if Crown Prince Xin is trying to keep this meeting a secret, I am sure he will be quite disappointed when he knows that this mission doesn't only have disciples. There's an elder too, and he's been with us ever since our journey started."
