"Here."
Yuan Shuchun was standing in front of the dumbfounded Xiao Ming, and in her hand was a cultivation manual.
"Take it." She said.
Xiao Ming, confused about why the future had actually deviated, looking at the book in Yuan Shuchun's hand, he said, "Put it down on the ground. No tricks!"
Yuan Shuchun pursed her lips and threw the book at Xiao Ming's feet.
Then she fell to the ground, leaning on the wall behind her.
Xiao Ming was surprised at her actions.
'She is really giving it on her own…?'
…
In the street not far away from them, Ye Tian Yun was ready to strike at any time.
But he, too, was feeling as if something had gone off the script.
'Since when did Yuan Shuchun was so… so easily defeated?'
'Is she playing tricks on Xiao Ming?'
He also thought Yuan Shuchun would definitely do something scheming.
However, to his surprise, nothing happened.
Xiao Ming took the book, flipped it in his hands, and put it in his spatial ring.
"Happy now?" Yuan Shuchun smirked.
Xiao Ming pursed his lips and stared at her without saying any words.
"Oh?" Yuan Shuchun laughed at his state, "Are you now considering whether to kill me or not!? Hahaha, Xiao Ming, come on, kill me… why waste such an opportunity? Xiao Ming… if I survive today… then I promise you that I will have my revenge!"
Xiao Ming clenched his teeth and was ready to make a move.
On the other side, Ye Tian Yun also readied himself - he would attack if Xiao Ming moved to kill Yuan Shuchun.
'I will do her a favor this time…'
He narrowed his eyes and waited for Xiao Ming's next step.
But in the next moment, Ye Tian Yun was shocked by Xiao Ming's actions.
Before he could react, with Xiao Ming as its center, the whole area suddenly lit up with an eye-piercing white light!
'This…'
Even Ye Tian Yun had to close his eyes to avoid being collateral damage.
However, he clearly felt the aura coming from Xiao Ming.
'Token of Fate!?'
His breathing quickened.
But he somehow managed to calm down. He wanted to see what Xiao Ming was actually planning.
And slowly, the light began to retract, and soon everything turned to normal.
However, at the center of the ground, Xiao Ming had his palm spread out in front of him and above his palm was a triangular jade-like thing floating in mid-air.
Yuan Shuchun was also shocked by the scene in front of her.
'Token Of Fate…'
Her breathing quickened as a nervous feeling welled up in her heart.
'So he will really kill me…'
This was the first thought in her mind.
Because Xiao Ming had shown his biggest secret to her, there was no way he would let her live. Especially now when she had just vowed to take her revenge at any cost.
But as if things were not shocking enough, Xiao Ming's next action confused her even more.
He moved his palm, and before she could move, he punched in the air towards her.
Right at this moment, the Token Of Fate flew at her!
At the street corner, Ye Tian Yun was shocked and instantly moved!
'No!!'
He appeared right between the Token Of Fate and Yuan Shuchun!
Now, the Token Of Fate was heading straight at him!
But as it came closer, something weird happened!
The Token Of Fate passed right through him!
'Fuck!'
Ye Tian Yun saw the Token Of Fate pass through his body, and as he turned around, he saw the Token enter Yuan Shuchun's body!
"Fuck…"
Ye Tian Yun immediately tightened his grip on his sword and slashed aiming at Yuan Shuchun's throat!
He had to get the Token Of Fate at any cost!
But just as his sword was about to reach Yuan Shuchun's neck -
"If he's really Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun, then his life is as important as Yuan Shuchun!"
"Ah, she's a daughter of my close friend."
"Son, give her a chance."
"The Yuan's are like this. Treat her like a younger sister."
Many voices suddenly resounded in his head.
Ye Tian Yun gritted his teeth and stopped his sword in mid-air, just a millimeter away from Yuan Shuchun's neck.
"Ha… Ha… Ha…"
Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and stared right at Yuan Shuchun.
Yuan Shuchun, on the other hand, was dumbfounded by his sudden appearance.
'Kai Yang….? No, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun!'
She instantly knew who this person was.
'Why is he here?'
…
Behind them, Xiao Ming couldn't help but gulp when he saw this scene.
'Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun…. really appeared…'
He moved and instantly appeared near Yuan Shuchun, and snatching Ye Tian Yun's sword, he threw it away.
Ye Tian Yun snapped out of his daze and stared at Xiao Ming and then at Yuan Shuchun and once again at Xiao Ming.
"You…" Xiao Ming had also recognized Ye Tian Yun.
"You're Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun!?"
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh and asked, "Why did you give the Token Of Fate to her?"
Yuan Shuchun also turned her head towards Xiao Ming.
She never knew he had such a precious thing with him.
'Is this what he was talking about earlier…?'
'But why did he give it to me? For an Arcane Arts book? That book is useless…'
She wanted to hear Xiao Ming's answer.
However, Xiao Ming simply said, "It's none of your business."
He hated the fact that he cowered in front of death. He gave up on the Token to keep his life…
Ye Tian Yun, however, wasn't satisfied with Xiao Ming's answer.
He frowned, and within an instant, he had Xiao Ming's neck in his grasp.
"UGH-!" Xiao Ming tried to say and breathe but only felt himself rise from the ground.
"No! Stop! Please!" Yuan Shuchun's face paled as she pleaded with Tian Yun not to hurt Xiao Ming.
However, Ye Tian Yun was not in the mood to stop.
He might have hesitated to kill Yuan Shuchun, but Xiao Ming had no one to save him.
Just then -
"Cough! My dear friend, Ye Tian Yun… please calm down… don't kill this kid."
Wang Yao requested with a wry smile.
