"Crown Prince, are you really… at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Realm!?" Butler Liu asked in a suppressed voice.
He couldn't believe his eyes and ears.
Peak Foundation Establishment Realm before even turning fifteen years of age!
Such talent!
Even though he believed Ye Tian Yun was the most talented person, still seeing him achieve such feats right in front of him took things to another level.
Ye Tian Yun could only give the excited Butler Liu a wry smile.
'All effort in hiding the cultivation realm and keeping a low profile has gone to waste…'
He could only sigh at his luck.
His father was just too powerful.
Thinking about this, the most dreading question popped up in his mind once again.
'If my father is this powerful, then where was he when the God's Legion ambushed me?'
In his previous life, Ye Tian Yun had many subordinates, but when D-Day came, he was alone.
Some had abandoned him, but many had already lost their lives for him.
'I can't help but think about this… where was he on that day? It would take only a wave of his hand to change the outcome…'
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips upon thinking about this.
"What did Jian'er say?" Emperor Ye's voice suddenly rang in his ears, bringing him out of his thoughts.
The Jian'er that his father referred to was his uncle.
Ye Tian Jian.
This was his given name before Ye Tian Yun's uncle was banished from the Great Ye Clan.
Later, he was known as Heavenly King Wang because of his ties with the Great Wang Clan.
'In my previous life, I thought my father and my uncle hated each other…. Why do I feel like this is not the case?'
Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but think about how everything related to his family members was slowly coming out to be false.
His father wasn't the cold-hearted and emotionless killing machine that he had presumed.
The brotherly relationship between his father and his uncle was much more complicated than just hate.
'This just complicates the question… why would the Great Ye Clan banish my Uncle if my Father worries about him?'
"Your Majesty, I personally talked to Heavenly King Wang, but his stance is still the same. He said he will not step on the Middle Heavens for now."
"What is that idiot doing then!?" Emperor Ye suddenly got angry, "Does he not know the situation we are in?"
"This…" Butler Liu let out a sigh and said, "I explained everything, Your Majesty, but he's still adamant about not interfering."
"Why?" Emperor Ye asked in a deep voice.
Both Butler Liu and Ye Tian Yun felt that the person in front of them was about to explode out of anger.
"Your Majesty," Butler Liu cleared his throat and said, "He wants you to come and visit him personally."
"What?" Emperor Ye frowned, "That son of a - no, why should I cuss at my mother for him? That god damn bastard…. Does he think I am ignoring him? If I could, I would have visited him right now!"
Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but ask, "What is stopping you, Father? You're the ruler of the Middle Heavens, no one can stop you in the Lower Heavens, and even in Upper Heavens, I am sure you would be among the peak cultivators. What is it that's stopping you?"
Emperor Ye paused for a moment but then shook his head, "Not now…. Sigh…"
Butler Liu suddenly quipped, "Your Majesty, Crown Prince is really talented in cultivation. I think we can tell him at least something?"
Emperor Ye frowned and considered Butler Liu's words.
"Don't let him tell you!!" A loud shout echoed in Ye Tian Yun's consciousness.
It was Wang Yao.
"What?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.
Wang Yao shouted once again, "Don't let him tell you! You may have a lot of potential and talent, but you're still at the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"Don't think about such questions for now. The enemy can kill you with just a single glance. I already told you, the only thing protecting you is your ignorance."
Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and said to the Emperor, "Father, I don't wish to know. I have a feeling that this is not the right time."
Relief could be seen in Emperor Ye's expression.
Butler Liu, however, was confused for a moment, but then something dawned upon him.
"This…. Oh no… don't tell me they are targeting you already, Crown Prince!"
His face paled out of shock.
Emperor Ye took a deep breath and said, "It's alright. No need to worry about Ye Tian Yun."
Butler Liu sighed, "I apologize, Your Majesty. I failed to see the full picture. I didn't know that 'that' person is still alive."
Emperor Ye nodded, "It's alright, it wasn't your fault. You haven't been to the Upper Heavens for the last fifteen years."
Ye Tian Yun listened carefully. He knew Emperor Ye wouldn't reveal core details, but still, Ye Tian Yun wanted to have a picture of the enemy at least.
"Don't think!"
Suddenly Wang Yao shouted once again.
"If you try to imagine them, your imagination will come true. Don't create trouble for yourself."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, and in the next instant, all access from Wang Yao was taken away.
Earlier, he had allowed Wang Yao to peek outside only because of Ling Qing'er's presence.
But now that she was gone, there was no need for Ye Tian Yun to treat him well.
Ye Tian Yun cleared his throat and said, "Father, I would like to take my leave. I don't wish to waste time in my cultivation."
Emperor Ye and Butler Liu paused and turned towards him.
"Hm, alright, if you have anything to talk about, you can come to me later," Emperor Ye said to him and resumed his chat with Butler Liu.
Ye Tian Yun swiftly headed out of the hall, but he could still hear a few words from the former's conversation.
Assembling the Great Ye Corps… bringing them to the Upper Heavens… killing the -
