'System, is it also due to last night's events?'
[Yes, Host. God's Legion and the Gracious Sword Sect were allies because of Fang Chen and Xiao Ming's friendship. And now that is just impossible.]
'But that doesn't mean Gracious Sword Sect's destruction; after all, as I mentioned earlier, there's still Sect Leader Su.'
[Heaven's Will protects God's Legion members. They will be unstoppable if even half of them form the group.]
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and narrowed his eyes as he replied, "I will stop them. I do not doubt this. Currently, my race is not against the God's Legion, but it's the time whom I need to defeat."
"I only have four more months before Xiao Ming gets his hands on the Token Of Fate. If he succeeded, it would be harder to kill him; that's why I need to be there at the right time, on the right day, in the right place, to kill Xiao Ming and take the Token of Fate before it touches his hand."
"But now we won't be allowed to go outside for a whole month, that means I can't go ahead to make any preparation… wait… since no one can go outside, doesn't that mean Xiao Ming will also stay in the sect!? Then how will he get the Token since he would only have three months left and unlike me, he has no knowledge about the Token of Fate's existence."
"Damn, this is quite a weird situation. If Xiao Ming didn't get his hands on the Token Of Fate, it would fall into someone else's hands, and I would never know who will be this new owner."
Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin while saying, "If only I knew where that - System, can you tell me the location at which Xiao Ming got his Token Of Fate in his previous life?"
[21 Fate Points Required]
'What? Didn't you just take 72 Fate Points? How greedy do you have to be? 21 Fate Points… that's a straight-up rip-off!'
No response came from the System.
Ye Tian Yun closed his eye and took a deep breath.
'Hmm, alright, tell me where and how Xiao Ming got his token in my previous life.'
[21 Fate Points Consumed.]
[Remaining Fate Points: 21]
[Xiao Ming acquired the Token Of Fate in the Black Stone Village in the Eastern Province of the Xin Kingdom]
"What?" Ye Tian Yun was confused by this, "What do you mean by he got the token in the Eastern Province? As far as I know, he got the Token in the Southern Province. In fact, Xiao Ming never went to the Eastern Province. How did he get the Token of fate if he never even stepped in that place?"
[Insufficient Fate Points]
'Then you can tell me why my informants found out that Xiao Ming found the Token Of Life in the Southern Province?'
[Insufficient Fate Points]
'Hmm, tell me, where is this Black Stone Village? It shouldn't be hard, right? It's just a village.'
[Insufficient Fate Points]
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and took a deep breath.
After a few moments of silence in the cultivation abode, he asked, 'What's the place in the Southern Province where Xiao Ming finds out Token Of Fate? I am damn sure it's in the Southern Province rather than the Eastern Province. After all, there were quite a several witnesses, and the proof that my informants had was substantial.'
[Insufficient Fate Points]
Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the same prompt again and again. He continued to twist his questions just to find a breakthrough and get a hint about where he needed to look for.
'Damn, what a Rip-Off System; you just ask for Fate Points and more Fate Points. I am your host; you should help me rather than being greedy and keep on cheating Fate Points from me.'
[Host, the System is the prime example of fairness and would not cheat you.]
'Example of fairness my ass! You are the biggest Rip-Off I have ever encountered. You take away almost all of my rewards, and you don't even give me any information which I can use. All you do is talk in circles, and if I ask you a direct question, you either say that I don't have enough authority or I don't have enough Fate Points!'
Ye Tian Yun was quite pissed off as he said these words. When he had first received help from the system, he had thought that life will now be good and his goal won't be as humongous as it seemed, but now he couldn't help but laugh at his ignorant thoughts from a few months back.
Someone made this system to suck out all his resources!
He was sure that even if there exist hundreds of systems out in the whole universe, none of them would fucking stop their host from possessing a spatial ring and even charge their host to keep the rewards in its inventory!
This was a clear rip-off!
And on top of that, if he were to ask anything or about any help regarding his future plans, this god damn system would then ask for payment before helping him.
Then, after getting the payment, which were the Fate Points, it would only give a superficial reply which would be of no help to its host.
Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He needed to assess his next step since most of last night's events were unexpected, and now he needed to understand the possibilities for the upcoming months, which were uncertain.
However, before that, he needed to make use of this month and try to break through the next realm.
And for that, he needed to get all his resources ready. Just then, he remembered about his quest before he went to the banquet. How come he hadn't gotten any notification about that yet?
