Chapter 546: Trust?

"My father!?" Jun Xie's mind went numb.

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Yes. He personally gave me this."

"What…"

Jun Xie couldn't think straight.

Ye Tian Yun had sent an unavoidable curveball at him.

'My Father? Gave me this?'

Unknowingly, the spatial ring in his hand had become his most prized possession.

He then glanced at Ye Tian Yun in confusion, "Why couldn't he give me on his own?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "It's for your security."

"My security?" Jun Xie asked, "Security against what?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "I don't know, but I can tell that there's something really powerful that's stopping him from contacting you directly."

"Really?"

"Yes." Ye Tian Yun nodded.

No. This was bullshit.

Jun Xie smiled while staring at the spatial ring.

"Since he trusts you  so much, I am sure you must know him personally." He asked, "Who is my father?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "He said you need to become the most powerful Alchemist in the Lower Heavens to know everything."

"Most powerful Alchemist in the Lower Heavens…?"

"Yes." Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "The enemies that he faces, and the people who are after him, even though he had high cultivation and background, he's forced to be away from you or else, those people might target you."

Bullshit. Once again.

But Ye Tian Yun wasn't planning to stop.

To him, Jun Xie was an important character.

A talented Alchemist.

Such a person was hard to come by, and also because Jun Xie was the son of Butler Liu, Ye Tian Yun didn't wish for him to follow the previous life's path.

'This time, I need him to understand Butler Liu's situation.'

There was no way Butler Liu would have abandoned Jun Xie without any reason. Even during the Silver Mist City battle, Butler Liu's care for Jun Xie was quite evident.

'I will get Butler Liu's image to the positive side of his heart.'

This was Ye Tian Yun's aim if you know what I mean.

"How much do you know about my father?" Jun Xie asked.

The others were silently listening to their words.

Ye Tian Yun exhaled, "I know quite a few things, but one thing I can tell for sure is that he cares a lot for you. Had it not been for your life was in constant danger if you were to be with him, he wouldn't have left you to your master."

Jun Xie nodded while asking, "When was the first time you met him?"

"I was too young." Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I am pretty sure I was less than a day old when I met your father for the first time."

"Reall?" Jun Xie raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Is my Father, a close friend of the Fang Clan?"

"Uh… about that… Well, I don't think so." 

"Then… how did you meet him?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "You will know everything in detail when the time comes. For now, focus on increasing your Alchemy Rank."

"Hmm," Jun Xie nodded, "Alright."

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "I will go back to my room and cultivate."

"You won't practice Sword Intent?" Zheng Xiang asked.

He wanted to see Ye Tian Yun practice his sword moves so he could observe and try to get some inspiration.

However, Ye Tian Yun had other plans.

"I need to increase my cultivation realm for now."

Suddenly something struck Ye Tian Yun, and then glancing at Zheng Xiang, he said, "You follow me. I have something for you too."

A wide smile formed on Zheng Xiang's face, "Woah, finally!"

Ye Tian Yun chuckled and then turned towards Jun Xie; he said, "Come to my Courtyard early in the evening. I have something important to discuss with you."

"Why not right now?"

"Nah," Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "I want you to meet Prime Minister Fang, and right now he is busy, that's why I am calling you in the evening."

"Ah, alright. I will be there."

Ye Tian Yun nodded, and soon he left the group after bidding his farewell.

….

"Here. These are for you."

Ye Tian Yun stretched out his hand, carrying a pouch.

A satisfactory smile formed on Zheng Xiang's face, "Ah, this is great. With these resources, I will be able to reach the peak of Qi Condensation Realm easily."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "That's still quite low. Zheng Xiang, for the next six months, you need to be in Closed-Door cultivation. Don't come out unless it's an emergency, for example, if these resources have ended."

"Hmm, alright." Zheng Xiang nodded.

They had returned to Ye Tian Yun's courtyard, and here Ye Tian Yun had taken out a pouch full of Qi Strengthening Pill for Zheng Xiang and handed it over to him for cultivation.

"By the way," Zheng Xiang suddenly asked, "Did you talk to your parents? You're telling me to cultivate here for the next six months. Won't the Fang Clan mind?"

"Don't worry about these trivial matters," Ye Tian Yun waved his hand, "I have already discussed the situation with them."

"Alright." Zheng Xiang nodded, "I will go and start my cultivation then. The last few months have really taken a toll on my mental state."

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips.

He didn't know what to say except for giving his condolences.

The Heavenly Oracle Sect's people had massacred the Zheng Clan of the Silver Mist City.

"We will teach those bastards a very good lesson." Ye Tian Yun said to Zheng Xiang.

"Yes." Zheng Xiang clenched his teeth.

Even though from outside he acted all goofy and relaxed, in truth, it was all a ruse to hide his anger and frustration.

The enemy in front of him was too powerful.

He knew his journey was going to be a long one.

The person in front of him was the fastest shortcut he could get.

This was why he believed and trusted Fang Chen so much.

[Zheng Xiang. 6 Star Favourability. Life and Death Brother.](Fang Chen)

Ye Tian Yun's eye twitched upon seeing the prompt appear above the person in front of him.

'Should I tell him my real name….'
