Upon seeing Ye Tian Yun remain silent for some time, Yuan Shuchun got even more nervous.
Her breathing quickened as she felt helpless. She wanted to stop Ye Tian Yun and save Xiao Ming, but she was helpless.
Just then, Ye Tian YUn turned his head towards him and raised his finger.
'He's going to kill me!'
As soon as she saw his hand come closer, she closed her eyes in fear and waited for the sword to strike.
But in the next moment, she only felt a touch on her forehead and passed out.
Ye Tian Yun frowned as she fell to the ground, unconscious.
Behind him, Xiao Ming, who was trying to recover, saw Yuan Shuchun and was shocked.
Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun felt his consciousness divide into two, and two scenarios appeared before him.
In one, Yuan Shuchun's body was lying in front of him, but her head was detached. And in his was a bloodied sword.
In the second scene, Yuan Shuchun was lying unconscious. This was the real, while the former was an illusion.
'Is this the trial?'
Just then, Ye Tian Yun heard a roar from behind -
"WHY DID YOU KILL HER!?"
It was Xiao Ming.
As soon as Ye Tian Yun turned around, he saw Xiao Ming come at him in a berserk mode with his full power.
Ye Tian Yun frowned. But he just blocked his attack and kicked him in mid-air, sending him flying.
After a few more blows, Xiao Ming released his sword intent.
And all this was happening in both the scenes.
Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun heard another shout -
"Xiao Ming, stop! What are you doing!"
It was Yuan SHuchun.
She had woken up in the real world and was staring at the berserk Xiao Ming.
But in the illusion world, she was still lying on the ground, dead.
Yuan Shuchun suddenly turned towards Ye Tian Yun and pleaded once more not to kill Xiao Ming and forgive him for this mistake.
Ye Tian Yun only frowned at her but didn't say anything.
However, seeing the unrestrained power of Xiao Ming, he knew Yuan Shuchun might get injured because of this clash, so he too released his Sword Intent, and as soon as the Sword Domain formed, it thoroughly suppressed Xiao Ming.
Glancing at Yuan SHuchun, Ye Tian Yun whispered, "Let's wake him up."
And then, he immediately appeared in front of Xiao Ming and began to kick him.
'I can't kill you, but I will definitely beat the shit out of you!'
While this was happening in the real world, Xiao Ming saw Ye Tian Yun slowly approach him with a sword in his hand in the illusion world.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
'Take this, you fucker, take this too!'
Ye Tian Yun continued to kick Xiao Ming and took out all his pent-up frustration of the last eight months.
Just as Ye Tian Yun was about to increase the intensity and got carried away, Yuan Shuchun appeared and jumped on the path with Ye Tian Yun's kicks and Xiao Ming.
Ye Tian Yun frowned and stopped kicking.
Yuan Shuchun thanked him and began to wake up Xiao Ming.
After a few moments, when Xiao Ming woke up, he found Yuan Shuchun crying in front of him and Ye Tian Yun standing behind her, looking at him with an annoyed expression.
As he woke up, Ye Tian Yun's consciousness also returned to normal.
And a weird churning feeling appeared in his heart.
"The Token Of Fate."
Yes, it was the Token Of Fate.
Just then, he noticed Yuan Shuchun kick Xiao Ming and stormed off.
Ye Tian Yun thought of something and followed her.
When he was just a few steps away, he whispered, "The Token Of Fate is gone. But I will spare you and your lover this once."
…
Recalling all these incidents, Ye Tian Yun felt relieved.
His goal was now finally complete. The Token Of Fate was now in his possession.
'I want to see its power…'
Taking a deep breath, he increased his pace.
But before he could make the considerable distance between them, Xiao Ming suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with Yuan Shuchun? You hesitated to kill her."
As soon as he asked, Yuan Shuchun's ears also perked up.
Ye Tian Yun's actions had also confused her too.
It was clear Ye Tian Yun wanted the Token Of Fate, yet he chose not to kill her and take it away.
She said, "Yes, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun, why did you not kill me?"
Ye Tian Yun came to a halt, and turning back, he replied, "Sword Saint Yuan Xuming is my uncle. And for some other reasons, I have been told to treat you like a little sister."
"And this was the first official meeting. I gave you a chance. Don't disappoint me."
Yuan Shuchun frowned and replied, "How am I your younger sister? I am two years older than you!"
Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes, "Argue with me when you catch up to my cultivation realm."
Yuan Shuchun remembered Xiao Ming mentioning the Peak Foundation Realm of Ye Tian Yun a few minutes ago and could only stomp her feet in anger.
Ye Tian YUn didn't pay her any more heed and turned around.
Suddenly, he heard something that made him stumble on his feet.
"Brother-in-law!"
Ye Tian Yun squinted his eyes and turned around.
He saw a huge smile on Xiao Ming's face as he came jumping at him.
"Ah, Brother-in-law! I never imagined I would meet you like this!"
"Who's your Brother-in-law?" Ye Tian Yun and Yuan Shuchun simultaneously shouted.
Xiao Ming smiled as Ye Tian Yun, "Didn't you just say you're Yuan Shuchun's older brother? Then you're, of course, my brother-in-law!"
"What? Since when…" Ye Tian Yun frowned and glanced at Yuan Shuchun.
Yuan Shuchun's face, on the other hand, had turned red. It was hard to tell whether it was out of embarrassment or anger.
However, Ye Tian Yun judged it was most probably the latter.
"How stupid of me. I didn't introduce myself. I am Xiao Ming, the person who will marry your younger sister, Yuan Shuchun!." Xiao Ming said with a huge grin on his face.
Before Ye Tian Yun could respond, Yuan Shuchun responded first.
BAM!
She responded with a flying kick, right on Xiao Ming's face!
"Watch out!" Ye Tian Yun called out and grabbed Xiao Ming from falling over.
Xiao Ming was impressed by Ye Tian Yun's sudden intervention.
"Ah, Brother-in-law… you're the best… you're the best… I never knew you care so much about me!" He almost had tears of joy in his eyes as he stared at Ye Tian Yun with a love-filled gaze.
Hearing his words, Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes, "I didn't do this to save."
And in the next moment, Ye Tian Yun moved his hand and removed unconscious Jun Xie from Xiao Ming and let Xiao Ming fall.
Thud!
"Ugh…" Xiao Ming clenched his teeth and stood up.
"Did I say anything wrong, dear?" With an ignorant smile, he asked Yuan Shuchun.
Yuan Shuchun narrowed her eyes, "Bastard, just ten minutes ago you were about to kill me, and now you want to marry me!? You think I will fall for your bullshit!?"
Hearing her rant, Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but glance at her.
'Is she the same Yuan Shuchun who was begging me to spare Xiao Ming?'
