Chapter 496: Exchange of Information (II)

"The Three Swords of Xin which I mentioned earlier too - Ling Yun, Fang Yunru, and Young Master Gao Xuan."

"One of these three will most probably become the future Young Dragon - currently Fang Yunru has the high possibility of succeeding because of his recent publicly known breakthrough to the Sixth Level of Qi Stabilization Realm."

Ye Tian Yun asked, "How old are these three?"

"All three of them are between sixteen to seventeen years of age."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.

The talent Fang Yunru had shown was quite close to Yuan Shuchun's level.

'Yuan Shuchun is from the Middle Heavens, and her background is way more powerful than anyone else's around her. Still, to be able to remain at her level is already a good achievement for this guy.'

And considering the surname, Ye Tian Yun knew that he was about to encounter Fang Yunru pretty soon.

'I wonder how the relationship between Fang Chen and Fang Yunru were….'

Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin and turned his head towards the young woman; he asked, "Tell me in detail about all the big Four Families."

The woman nodded and said, "The least powerful of the four is Gao Clan."

"Clan Head of Gao Clan is Gao Fu; he has two sons and one daughter. The Eldest Son is Gao Xuan, the second son is -"

"Wait!" Ye Tian Yun interrupted, "Which is the most powerful among the Big Four?"

The young woman replied, "It's the Fang Clan."

"Hm," Ye Tian Yun nodded, and after a few moments of silence, he said, "Tell me about the Fang Clan."

The woman said, "Prime Minister Fang Yuan heads the Fang Clan."

"Prime Minister Fang Yuan is known for his political history and is well-respected in the whole Kingdom. He was also the previous generations' Young Dragon.'"

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised to hear this, "Did he marry the then princess?"

"Yes," The young woman nodded her head, "They even bore two children - Fang Chen and Fang Bai."

"Fang Chen is the Young Master of the Fang Clan, while Fang Bai is his seven-year-old younger sister."

"Young Master Fang Chen doesn't have a good reputation in the clan or the whole city and is known for his mediocre talent. He had been in the news recently because of his mysterious disappearance."

"As for Young Miss Fang Bai, she's still too young for evaluation."

"The second in command in the Fang Clan is Fang Shihong. He manages the clan's internal affairs and has a son, Fang Yunru."

"Fang Yunru is the current most talented cultivator of this generation and is known for his scheming and arrogant nature."

"Other than these members, there are a few notable characters like Elder Zhu, known for his alchemy skills, Elder Ying, and Elder Xiu, who hold high positions in the Imperial Government."

"Hm," Ye Tian Yun nodded his head.

The woman continued to explain Fang Clan's family tree's whole structure and even told some important details regarding a few members.

All this took about ten or so minutes to finish.

"What else would you like to know, Master?" The young woman asked.

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "That's it for now. I know enough now."

The young woman nodded, "Then please complete your side of the deal."

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "The people who ambushed the Second Young Master of Gao Clan are from the Crimson Pavilion."

"Crimson Pavilion!?" The shock was evident in the young woman's voice, "Why would the Crimson Pavilion attack him?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I don't know, but what I am saying is indeed the truth."

"Is no one from the Capital city connected to this?" The woman asked.

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "There is. The Xin Royal Clan."

"Them!?" The young woman was surprised once again, "I had a strong suspicion, but I can't understand why they would do this…?"

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "To keep the Fang Clan's position stable in the city. King Xin and Prime Minister Fang Yuan are very close; however, Gao Long dominated this generation of cultivators. They were afraid of the Gao Clan's comeback; therefore, they wanted to nip the bud before it could bloom."

"Hmm…" The young woman frowned, "Are you saying that the Devil Sect and the Crimson Pavilion are both working for the Xin Royal Clan?"

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Answer to this question does not come under our deal."

The woman frowned, "Is there anything you would like to know? We can exchange more information."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "I already know what I want to know. Maybe in the future, but not now."

The woman let out a sigh but didn't say anything.

Ye Tian Yun then asked, "is there anything else you would like to know?"

The woman clenched her fists and asked, "Names. Can you tell me the names of the people who took part in the ambush targeting Second Young Master Goa Long?"

Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes before changing his expression to normal. "I don't know all the names, but for starters, you should target the Second-in-Command in Crimson Pavilion."

The young woman nodded.

Crimson Pavilion was as powerful as the whole Xin Kingdom. Its vice leader was no doubt a powerful cultivator.

To catch him, Gao Xuan would have to take many measures and go through countless sacrifices.

Both the young woman and Ye Tian Yun understood this fact.

But they also understood that they couldn't do anything against this.

"Master, thank you for this deal." The young woman stood up and, taking a deep breath, turned to leave.

Her voice sounded low and distressed.

Ye Tian Yun smiled and said, "Wait."

The young woman turned in confusion, "Anything you would like to know, Master?"

Ye Tian Yun smirked, "Nah. Let me give you a little bonus information. Crown Prince Xin. He was the one who orchestrated this whole plan and even made some arrangement for you to blame the Fang Clan."

The young woman narrowed her eyes, "Crown Prince Xin Xue Fei?"

Ye Tian Yun stared at the young woman with a smile and, after some time, slightly nodded his head, thus giving the affirmation.

The Crown Prince of the Xin Kingdom was the one responsible for Gao Long's ambush.
