"Don't let anger take hold of your thoughts," Ye Tian Yun spoke upon noticing the change in Prime Minister Fang's expression.
"The Fang Clan is not enough to contend against the Xin Royal Clan."
"I know," Prime Minister Fang took a deep break and exhaled.
After a few moments of silence, he asked YeTIan Yun, "You won't change your demand for the Thunder Valley?"
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Why are we bringing that into this discussion?"
"It's the same discussion." Prime Minister Fang said, "Since we alone can't defeat the Xin Royal Clan, we need allies. And the most trustworthy ally right now is the Gao Clan. We need their support, even though it doesn't sound like much."
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "I have made my arrangements for the Thunder Valley. If Gao Clan doesn't offer us the Thunder Valley in the next few days, we will resume this discussion from here."
"Hmm, alright." Prime Minister Fang sighed.
Ye Tian Yun then said, "We will take our leave now. I wanted you to hear everything from Jun Xie's mouth and he has now revealed everything."
"Hmm, you can go," Prime Minister nodded and glanced at Jun Xie, he said, "Child, if you need anything, tell Fang Chen or you can even come to me. Don't hesitate, consider us your family."
"Thank you, Uncle Fang." Jun Xie replied with a sincere smile.
…
"What was the hurry?"
Jun Xie asked Ye Tian Yun as they left the hallway.
"We're getting late." Ye Tian Yun said, "My whole afternoon cultivation session didn't go as I had planned."
"Oh? What happened? Is it because of me?'
"No. You can just a few minutes ago."
"Then?"
"Well, I forgot something very important related to the task we're about to do."
"Hmm, oh wait, what's the task that we're about to do?" Jun Xie asked.
"Didn't I tell you about someone we need to seduce?" Ye Tian Yun glanced at him.
"There's no 'we' in this." Jun Xie frowned, "I have no interest in seducing anyone."
Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes, "Alright, alright, Virgin Sage. Just handle the illusions well. I have already been delayed by a few days; I can't delay it any longer."
"Hmm," Jun Xie nodded.
Both of them first reached Fang Chen's room.
"Here." Ye Tian Yun took out a pair of clothes.
"What's these?"
"We will be leaving wearing these."
"We're going in a disguise?" Jun Xie frowned, "The guards are Core Formation Realm. I don't think this will be of any use."
"Oh, it will be useful." Ye Tian Yun smiled, "And it's not like you need to go out in the open. Just try to create an illusion and leave the rest to me discreetly."
"Hmm," Jun Xie nodded, "But why is there only one pair of clothes? Are you not planning to disguise yourself?"
"No." Ye Tian Yun smiled, "The disguise is for you."
'I will go in my real face.'
This was Ye Tian Yun's decision.
Today while cultivating in the afternoon, he was planning about his meeting with the Third Princess, a thought suddenly struck him.
The Royal Bloodline Trial.
It was impossible to enter it if someone was in disguise.
'How the fuck did I forget such an important detail!?'
This was the first thought of Ye Tian Yun.
Fortunately, he had not yet met with the princess, or else if he had been in someone's disguise, everything would have been useless because no disguise would work at the entrance of the Bloodline Trial.
'I will have to be in my real face.'
'Ah, how the fuck did I forget something so important!?'
And this was how his whole afternoon was ruined.
'Then real face it is.'
"Here."
Ye Tian Yun showed Jun Xie his palm.
On the palm was a pill.
"What's this?" Jun Xie asked.
"Aura Replication Pill. It will change your aura for the next twenty-four hours."
"Oh?" Jun Xie asked, "Who's aura will I be copying?"
"Don't you remember me patting that guard?" Ye Tian Yun replied, "This is his aura."
"Why do we even need my disguise, though?" Jun Xie argued, "No one here knows me anyway."
"They will know soon," Ye Tian Yun replied, "This aura is so that people don't track you back if they find out about your illusions."
"And how will they not be able to track me?"
"Because of this." Ye Tian Yun put another pill in front of him.
"What's this?"
"This one contains your original aura. Take it when things go haywire and remove the disguise. Return to your original identity. No one will stop you."
"Hmm, fair enough."
"Come out when you're ready. We need to leave." Ye Tian Yun said and left the room.
About five minutes later, Jun Xie stepped outside.
'Hm? Where's Fang Chen?'
He couldn't help but frown.
Just then, he felt a tap on his shoulder.
And when he turned around, a handsome young man's face appeared in front of him.
He seemed one year younger than Fang Chen, but the aura was very different.
Not only the aura but even the demeanor was also different.
"Let's go." He said.
"Hm? Where… wait… who the hell are you?" Jun Xie zoomed out of his trance.
"I am Fang Chen." The young man replied.
"No…. oh, wait, is this your disguise!?"
"Yeah."
"Damn, you don't even need to pick lines with this look. Fang Chen, whose look is this?"
"It belongs to a friend."
"Who is this guy?"
"Not important right now. Let's go. It's almost evening."
Both of them headed for the exit.
This time, instead of hiding or anything, Ye Tian Yun was moving openly because he already had a good solution for his problem.
"Use your illusion technique; let's not let the guards see us."
"Alright."
In no time, they were standing at the main door of the Fang Clan's manor.
The exit was just a hundred meters away.
It was at this moment, the huge gates of Fang Clan suddenly moved to open.
'Did they know I was heading out?'
Ye Tian Yun frowned.
Unsurprisingly, the gate was not opening because of him.
But for the carriages which had arrived in front of the Fang Clan.
Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun sensed an approaching powerful aura behind him.
"We need to run!"
Ye Tian Yun almost shouted at Jun Xie as they ran towards the incoming carriage.
It was quite clear that the higher-ups of the Fang Clan, including the Prime Minister, were coming to meet these guests.
As Ye Tian Yun passed by the carriages, he suddenly noticed who the guests were.
'The Gao Clan.'
'The came earlier than I had expected….'
He was a bit taken aback, but this was good news since he wouldn't have to waste any more time on this.
However, suddenly his eyes landed on the last carriage.
'This is not a men's carriage.'
Ye Tian Yun frowned, and suddenly, he noticed the marking on the carriage.
"Third. Gao." Jun Xie spoke while scratching his chin.
Both of them were standing outside the Fang Clan right now, besides the entourage of carriages from the Gao Clan.
"Isn't this supposed to be the carriage of the Third Miss?" Jun Xie asked.
Ye Tian Yun nodded lightly as a beautiful face appeared in his mind.
'It's her…. Why is she here?'
