Chapter 297 - A Love Triangle?
Ye Tian Yun could already imagine what was most probably going to happen with the three parties involved.
The Devil Sect would attack the Gracious Sword Sect disciples, and the Wu Clan would take advantage of this situation.
Since the Gracious Sword Sect knew about the Wu Royal Clan entourage, the Devil Sect had no idea that they were going to miss an even bigger fish.
In his previous life, the Devil Sect didn't attack the Wu Royal Clan at all - this also proved that Shu Xian was never given a chance to speak anything before getting killed.
'Are the people from Devil Sect a bunch of idiots? A mission involving the core disciples of the Gracious Sword Sect… and they chose not to care much about it?'
'They should have at least tried to find out the main objective of the mission - because no sect sends their Core disciples at once for an insignificant mission.'
Ye Tian Yun suddenly thought, 'I can create an advantage for myself.'
Even though Shu Xian didn't get any chance to speak, if Ye Tian Yun changed the situation, he might benefit.
'I can leak the mission details to them… this will give me more advantage.'
The main problem that Ye Tian Yun was facing here was that although the Devil Sect would attack the Gracious Sword Sect entourage, there was someone who could easily turn the tides - Peak Master Duan.
He was a peak Core Formation cultivator, and in no way the Devil Sect would think there's a chance of such a powerhouse to guard the disciples.
'But they should take precautions against such things. After all, they just attacked and heavily injured the best Core disciples of the Gracious Sword Sect. And now the sect is sending the other two strongest Core disciples together… how could there not be someone secretly protecting them.'
'Let's see what the situation is in Silver Mist City.'
'In my previous life, there wasn't any lockdown within the sect, and the Sleeper Cell attack wasn't as intense as how it happened last month.'
'So Zheng Xiang must have arrived at his clan during a mission, and at the same time, the secret mission members must have also been in the Zheng Clan estate.'
'In the end, the Zheng Clan could have gotten embroiled within the crossfire and must have suffered big losses - including Zheng Xiang's life.'
'Well, this does sound probable, but this is just one of the possibilities.'
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh and leaned back on the carriage.
Spreading his legs straight, he relaxed his body.
"You seem to be lost in thoughts? What's bugging you?"
It was Jun Xie. He had woken up from the fast nap.
"Well, there are a lot of things." Ye Tian Yun replied.
Jun Xie smirked, "How many of them are related to Yuan Shuchun?"
"What?" His question slightly confused Ye Tian Yun.
Jun Xie shook his head, "Don't try to act ignorant, Shu Xian. As far as I know, you have always stuck to Yuan Shuchun; however, today, it seems you're trying your best to avoid her."
"Tell me, did you make your master angry? Well, I already warned you not to join her league."
Ye Tian Yun shrugged. He didn't feel any annoyance or anger towards Jun Xie. He was just a little bit amused.
'Both of these guys knew each other before they entered the Inner Court?'
It was a bit surprising since both of them cultivated on different peaks, so their chances of crossing each other's path were very low, considering that there are thousands of Outer Court disciples on the Ninth Peak alone.
"It's nothing." Ye Tian Yun replied, "It's just I want to prepare myself for the upcoming mission and joined this carriage."
Jun Xie shrugged, "Well, I will believe any reason you give. But do tell me one thing - what's wrong with Xiao Ming."
"What?" Ye Tian Yun asked.
"Xiao Ming. You know that guy, right? He's from your league."
"What could be wrong with him?" Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes.
Jun Xie just shrugged his shoulders. "Well, how should I put it? Hmm… yeah… okay... See, I think Xiao Ming is very close to Yuan Shuchun."
"Close?" Ye Tian Yun smiled, "So? What's surprising about this?"
Jun Xie shook his head, "You don't understand. I think they are more than just close. They are in love."
"What?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.
Love? Between Yuan Shuchun and Xian Ming?
"Are you kidding me?" Ye Tian Yun slightly laughed.
Jun Xie took this as jealousy, "I don't know,man. I am just telling you what I have seen."
"How can you be so sure?" Ye Tian Yun asked.
'If they are in love, things might get interesting during the mission.'
Jun Xie replied with a smug expression, "Don't you know my forte? I am the most talented person in Spirit Sense you will ever meet. I can judge the relationship between two people just with a glance, as long as my cultivation isn't far off from theirs."
"Ah, yes, Spirit Sense. So, when did this happen?" Ye Tian Yun wanted to confirm a few things before getting to any conclusion.
Jun Xie scratched the back of his head, "Dude, don't worry, you will get a better one. Yuan Shuchun isn't the only beauty in this world."
Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes, "Why should I worry?"
Jun Xie let out a sigh, "Shu Xian, ah, Shu Xian. We have known each other for years now. I can read your thoughts. I always knew you were in love with Yuan Shuchun. Isn't that the reason why you chose to follow her?"
"Well, sometimes fate plays a funny game. But worry not, brother. You deserve a much better girl. Xiao Ming is young, and thus it was easy for him to get close to her. You, Shu Xian, will definitely get a better girl."
Hearing his words, Ye Tian Yun suddenly thought of Zheng Xian.
'Aren't these two guys quite similar? I have the similar urge to punch this guy's face just like how I feel when Zheng Xiang used his brain.'
