Ye Tian Yun paused and slowly turned around.
Pretending to be surprised, he said, "Ah, it's Cousin Yunru, what happened?"
Fang Yunru frowned, "Why are you not in your room?"
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I was just roaming around to get some fresh air."
Fang Yunru shook his head, "Xiao Chen, don't act smart in front of me. You're going in the direction of stables. The only thing you will smell there is horse shit."
"Uh…" Ye Tian Yun cleared his throat and replied, "It's still better than poking your nose and smelling someone else's business."
Fang Yunru narrowed his eyes, "Brat, is this the way you talk to your elder brother?"
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Fang Yunru, I need to go, so let's have an in-depth discussion later on how I should talk to you."
Without waiting for a response, Ye Tian Yun turned around and headed for the stables.
Fang Yunru narrowed his eyes and called out from behind, "Just you wait!"
Ye Tian Yun shook his head and continued to head towards the stables.
It took him some time to reach the stables because he didn't wish to by seen by anyone else.
The stables were the place where the servants kept all carriages and Ferghana Horses of the Fang Clan.
This was also the place where Ye Tian Yun was going to encounter the most number of guards.
But he didn't need to worry anymore.
There was a direct passageway from the stables to get to the exit of the Fang Clan.
Ye Tian Yun now simply needed to enter his carriage, and then no one would be able to stop him from leaving the carriage.
He came out from the hallway and headed towards the stables.
Noticing his sudden appearance, the guards were caught off guard and fumbled into standing in a straight posture.
Ye Tian Yun didn't bother with them and headed straight inside.
"Greeting, Young Master."
Even though Ye Tian Yun hadn't said anything, the guards greeted him on their own.
Ye Tian Yun simply nodded and continued forward with constant pace.
Just as he had taken about five steps inside, he heard a guard's whisper, "What happened to the Young Masters today? Is there something important in the stables?"
Another guard shrugged, "There's only horseshit. And keep your voice lower. Your tongue will one day get you in big trouble."
The third guard suddenly said, "Maybe they are playing hide and seek?"
"..."
"..."
…
In the stables, Ye Tian Yun was able to overhear the conversation and couldn't help but frown, 'Young Masters? Hide and seek?'
'Did someone else also come here?'
Just as Ye Tian Yun was thinking, he suddenly noticed a familiar back standing near a carriage.
It was the guard named Ao Jia who had gone ahead to prepare the carriage.
Hearing footsteps, the latter turned around and was surprised, "Young Master, you are also here?"
"Also?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Who else is here?"
Ao Jia covered his mouth, thinking he spoke too much, and pointed at the carriage.
Ye Tian Yun frowned and went inside.
"You…"
He was surprised to see the person who was sitting inside the carriage.
It was none other than Second Young Master Fang Yunru.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "I thought you would go and tell them."
The 'them' were, of course, the Fang Couple.
Fang yunru narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiao Chen, you should keep one thing in mind - I ain't a snitch. And anyway, I am just here to keep an eye on you. This is the worst time to create trouble in the Capital City, even worse if you are going to visit those gambling dens."
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I am not going there, so you don't need to worry about anything. It's better if you focus on cultivation. It's bad for the future if one gets complacent of his potential."
Fang Yunru smiled, "I am not going back. I will go wherever you go, Xiao
Chen."
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh, and poking his head out of the carriage, he gestured to Ao Jia to move the carriage.
"Where are we heading, Young Master?" Ao Jia asked Ye Tian Yun while feeling a death stare from the other side of the carriage.
"Gao Clan."
"Gao Clan? You mean…"
"Are there more than one Gao Clans?"
"No, there's only one."
"Then what's the matter? I did say I want you to hurry."
"Yes. yes!"
Ao Jia sat at the front beside the carriage driver and then instructed the latter to headwords the destination.
Inside the carriage, Fang Yunru stared at Ye Tian Yun for a long time.
But Ye Tian Yun was in no mood to entertain him, so he remained quiet, analyzing the chips he had in his hand for what he was about to do.
Once the carriage was out of the clan, Fang Yunru finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Why are you not saying anything, Xiao Chen? Why are we going to the Gaos?"
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "You didn't ask. And you will know soon."
Fang Yunru rubbed his face, "Fang Chen."
"Hm?"
"What is going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't act like a stranger, Fang Chen. Why are you acting like I am your enemy?"
"Maybe because you're poking your nose in my business?"
"Your business?" Fang Yunru frowned, "Have you considered your own condition? What's the hurry to visit the Gao Clan? I have never seen you visit that clan much."
"Oh," Fang Chen pursed his lips, "Well, there's always a first time for everything."
"Is there any specific reason?" Fang Yunru asked again.
"Yes."
"Will that create trouble for you?"
"Maybe."
"Then let's head back."
"No."
"Why?"
"This visit is very important."
Fang Yunru let out a sigh upon hearing Ye Tian Yun's response, after a pause, he said, "Xiao Chen, I don't want to know why are you visiting the Gao's, but there's one thing you need to consider - Your reputation and the trouble you will get into once you get back home."
