The late afternoon sun cast long shadows on the ground and the slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky.
The Capital City was heading to its calm as the evening approached.
In the Fang Clan manor, Ye Tian Yun was sitting on his bed with his eyes closed, focused on his cultivation.
Just then, he heard a light knock on the door.
"Brother Fang, it's me, Jun Xie."
Jun Xie was standing outside the room.
As asked, he had come to visit Fang Chen before evening.
The doors were pulled open, and Ye Tian Yun appeared in front of him.
"Come in."
Jun Xie nodded and stepped inside.
"This room is… better." Jun Xie couldn't help but comment.
Compared to the guarded courtyard that he was sharing with Zheng Xiang, this one was much better.
"We can exchange if you want." Ye Tian Yun smiled.
Jun Xie shook his head, "It's alright."
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Your loss."
Jun Xie ignored the last two words, and asked Ye Tian Yun, "What did you wish to discuss with me?"
Ye Tian Yun paused and after a few moments of silence, he asked, "How close are you to the Core Disciple called Kai Yang?"
"Kai Yang?" Jun Xie raised his eyebrows, "You know him? He was with me for a mission, saved my life a few times I think."
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Well, he was a good friend of mine too."
"Was?"
"He's missing."
"Missing?" Jun Xie was surprised, "What happened to him?"
"No idea. He was last seen in a tavern near the Gracious Sword Sect. From there, he went missing."
"Damn…" Jun Xie pursed his lips.
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh, "He told me a few things in my last meeting with him."
"What things?"
"About the mission, you both were part of."
"Hm?" Jun Xie frowned, "That wasn't something he should have discussed."
"Well, normally, he wouldn't have." Ye Tian Yun said, "But do you know this mission directly affected the Fang Clan's survival?"
"What do you mean?" Jun Xie was taken aback.
"I am talking about the assassination attempt on you and the other disciples."
"Hmm," Jun Xie thought, and after a few moments, his eyes widened in surprise, "Ah yes, I remember now. We got ambushed by a guy called Mo Da. Yes, indeed this heavily affects your clan."
"Hmm," Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Kai Yang also told me about Miss Wu."
Jun Xie narrowed his eyes, "What did he say?"
"Everything." Ye Tian Yun smiled, "And I think this incident is the reason why he's missing right now. There are many mysteries related to the Silver Mist City incident, and since your group was directly involved in the whole plot, I think someone is targeting you."
Jun Xie remained silent, but it was easy to notice how he was currently lost in his thoughts.
Ye Tian Yun continued, "And there were only a few people aware of the whole mission. The Gracious Sword Sect wouldn't bother kidnapping its own Core disciple. This is why I suspect it's the work of the Xin Royal Clan."
"Xin Royal Clan…" Jun Xie narrowed his eyes.
Ye Tian Yun had a serious expression on his face, saying, "I don't know how much Kai Yang will reveal, but no matter what he says, the next target will most likely be you."
Jun Xie gulped.
The Xin Royal Clan was not a small enemy.
And currently, he was just a Qi Stabilization Realm cultivator.
'Shit!'
There was no way he could escape the Xin Royal Clan's claws. At least not on his own.
He needed backing.
"I have a way for you to get out of this situation."
As if hearing his thoughts. Ye Tian Yun said to Jun Xie.
"What's the way?"
Jun Xie wanted to hear it.
Truthfully, he wasn't worried about himself. Rather, he was worried about the person who had been his maid for the last three months.
'She will be in big trouble if her identity is revealed.'
The whole Lower Heavens will be shocked if they find out that the Third Princess of Wu Kingdom was living in the enemy kingdom's capital city.
'She will most likely be killed.'
With the war ongoing between the Wu Kingdom and the Xin Kingdom, it was hard to say what will happen to her if the Xin Royal Clan finds out about her existence.
"The way is pretty simple." Ye Tian Yun replied, "Tell Prime Minister Fang about the assassination attempt you faced."
"Sure." Jun Xie agreed. There was no harm in revealing the details about this.
"And, help me with two more things." Ye Tian Yun replied.
"What are those?"
"I want you to help me seduce the princess of the Xin Kingdom."
"What…" Jun Xie felt offended, "I am not a playboy."
"I know," Ye Tian Yun nodded, "I am not asking for your tips. I want you to help me get in front of her with the help of your illusion technique."
"Ah, that's doable. What's the realm of the guards?"
"Core Formation. The highest is in the Seventh Level."
"Seventh Level Core Formation Realm expert…" Jun Xie scratched his chin and after a few moments of thoughts, he said, "Alright, I can handle them, assuming none of them have a very high spiritual sense."
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "We will find this out first-hand when you use your illusions in front of those guards."
Jun Xie rolled his eyes, "Alright. And what was the pill you were talking about?"
"It's the Dantian Mending Pill."
"Dantian Mending Pill?" Jun Xie frowned, "Wait… don't tell me it…"
"Yes." Ye Tian Yun nodded, "It does exactly what its name says."
"Holy shit!"
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "No need to be taken aback. This pill is a must for us and needs at least a peak Second Rank alchemist. How long will it take you to reach that?"
Jun Xie took a deep breath, "Few months at least."
"Good." Ye Tian Yun nodded, "We have enough time then. Let's head to the study, you should reveal the facts about the assassination to Prime minister Fang."
"Prime Minister Fang…." Jun Xie frowned, "Why don't you call him father?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
