Chapter 327: Convincing (I)

Ye Tian Yun turned his head towards his right and said, "Elder, I am confident that once you give me a chance, I will definitely prove my worth."

"What will you prove?" The voice asked with a disdainful tone, "You couldn't even sense me and turned your head to the other side. That alone shows your worth."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head and then turned his head towards the voice, "Senior, I was not replying to you. I was telling the Elder who is hiding behind the curtain for some reason."

Jia Lei Shan: "..."

Yin Shan: "..."

The Elder: "..."

Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh and said, "I would like you to at least listen to my words."

After a moment of silence, the Elder and Yin Shan quietly came out and took their seats on the table.

Clan Head Jia Lei Shan glanced at the entrance of the hall and called out, "Bring another chair."

Within a few minutes of silence, a servant brought a chair and left.

Jia Lei Shan said, "Shu Xian, take a seat."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and sat down.

Coincidentally, the seat was arranged in a way that all of them were divided into two groups - Ye Tian Yun on one side, and the remaining three on the other side.

"Tell me, Shu Xian." The Elder spoke first, "What is it that you have that can increase your worth in the eyes of the sect?"

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "I have information. Also, I have something important that you might be interested in."

"Information?" Yin Shan scoffed, "I don't want to sound condescending, boy, but what kind of information do you have that the sect doesn't know of?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "I trust in Devil Sect's intelligence-gathering ability. However, I am sure you will definitely like this piece of information that I hold."

The Elder frowned, "Don't take us in circles. Just tell us the information."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Seniors, as much as I respect you, I also love my life. I can't help but be cautious about what you will do after you get the information. I have a feeling I am just digging my grave here."

The Elder squinted his eyes, "Disciple Shu, don't worry about it. If your information is really important, then no one will even harm you. You will get three more chances to get your contribution points to the positive side."

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head.

He clearly understood what the Elder's words meant.

In the Devil Sect, there was a contribution system, which would increase if the disciple brought merit and would go negative if the disciple created trouble or made the sect face a loss.

Once the points reached a certain mark on the negative side, the disciple would be given a death penalty.

The Elder meant that Ye Tian Yun wouldn't be killed or harmed, and his contribution points would be set to zero.

On top of that, he will get three chances to prove his worth. 

In simple words, there was no more trouble for him from the Devil Sect as long as the information he provided was important.

Clearing his thoughts, Ye Tian Yun played his first card, "Seniors, you may have heard about the mission that Gracious Sword Sect disciples are performing secretly."

Seeing the three of them nod, Ye Tian Yun continued, "I know the person whom they are targeting."

"Oh." The three nodded.

'They are not interested?' Ye Tian Yun was slightly surprised, 'Looks like I will have to slowly reveal stuff and wait for them to take the bait.'

"Not only do I know about the target, but I also know that there's someone among the Gracious Sword Sect disciples coming for the mission who will be useful for you."

"I mean, that disciple has something that might be useful for you."

The three of them suddenly frowned and looked at each other.

'Weren't we just discussing it…'

'So it's with a disciple from the Gracious Sword Sect. Hmm.'

"Which Disciple is it?" Yin Shan asked.

The impatience in his voice made Ye Tian Yun quite suspicious.

'This guy… knows about it?'

Ye Tian Yun had a strong feeling that the three in front of him knew more than what he had gauged earlier.

Getting no response from Ye Tian Yun, Yin Shan urged, "Who is the disciple that had it?"

'They definitely know!' 

Alarm bells went off in Ye Tian Yun's head. 

Pursing his lips, he said, "There's a disciple called Kai Yang in their entourage."

"Kai Yang…" The three of them frowned.

Yin Shan gestured at Jia Lei Shan about something.

The other party lightly nodded his head and took out a few sheets of paper from his spatial ring.

Ye Tian Yun glanced at the paper and was surprised at the contents.

The Elder chose one of the papers in his hands and began to read it out loud.

"Kai Yang. Seventeen Years Old. Orphan."

"Suspected to be part of the Great Yang Family."

"What?" Ye Tian Yun suddenly raised his head and stared at the paper in shock.

'The Great Yang Family!'

'Fuck! Why is every random person that I know has a better backstory than me!?'

"Hm?" The Elder glanced at him, "You know about the Great Yang Family?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "One of the most powerful families in the Middle Heavens. Of course, I know them."

"Hmm," The Elder nodded his head and continued to read.

"Kai Yang, or his supposedly real name, Yang Kai, is in the Gracious Sword Sect to live a normal life and experience the hardships."

"Unlike the other Yang Family descendants, Yang Kai keeps a low profile and has not shown any signs of being a super-genius cultivator."

"Assessment: Average. Need not to care about him."

Reading this, the Elder put down the sheet of paper and said, "Shu Xian, this was the report on him. Now, show me the proof that Yang Kai holds the Token Of Fate."
