From a regular young master to be the one holding the most information, Gao Xuan had his own adventurous life.
He didn't lack in terms of cultivation, and neither did he lack in terms of resources. His only problem was his faint heart - he could easily fall in love.
But even that had stopped after his meeting with a princess of the Xin Kingdom. However, he wasn't alone chasing the damsel. There was his love rival - the most talented guy in the whole Capital City.
While his rival was quite famous from a young age, Young Master Gao Xuan was one of the most low profile people in the whole younger generation of Xin Capital City.
Their rivalry is the only thing he was known for.
But for Ye Tian Yun, the guy in front of him was pretty important.
The last few days had taught one thing to Ye Tian Yun - he couldn't fully trust the information given by his informants. It wasn't that they had lied to him or anything, just that even they might have had the wrong information. After all, those guys were tasked to dig out secrets and the past of almost all of the people that Ye Tian Yun had in his to-kill list and including the people who were somehow closely connected to the ones in the list.
This task was humongous and it would be surprising if they got all the correct information.
Looking at Gao Xuan, Ye Tian Yun even doubted that the current information he had was probably because of Goa Xuan's future organization.
To have his own information network spanning the whole realm by the mere age of twenty, this Gao Xuan was someone Ye Tian Yun would rather be friends and be an enemy.
Ye Tian Yun decided to ask one question to confirm the identity of the disciple in front of him.
"Choose one - To be a lone wolf or a lone spider?"
The disciple frowned at his question, but then his expression went from calm to stunned in a mere instant as the meaning of those words dawned upon him.
His smile had vanished as his expression turned serious.
This was enough for Ye Tian Yun to confirm that the person standing in front of him was none other than the young master of the Gao Clan, Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan pursed his lips and said, "A lone spider. Lay the trap, lure the prey, then sit back and enjoy as it struggles to escape till death. And at last, enjoy the fruits of labor."
His voice now was much different than his earlier voice, which was cranky and attention acquiring.
Now, he seemed to be his real self.
Ye Tian Yun could only sigh as he perceived the sudden change, 'These kids really have this weird liking about hiding their real selves. First, it was Fang Chen, then Jun Xie, and now we have Gao Xuan.'
Ignoring useless thoughts, he then asked, "that's a good choice. So tell me, are you here to lay the trap or lure your prey, or is that you have come to enjoy the meal."
Gao Xuan smiled, "Enjoying a meal is still a long way to go… for now, I am only laying traps in hopes to succeed."
Ye Tian Yun scrunched his eyebrows at him, "I would just say, don't do anything for now. Things are much more complicated in the sect."
Gao Xuan nodded his head, "I know. Last night must have been quite hectic for the sect."
"Oh, you know?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised by his response.
He nodded, "Yeah, to know stuff is what I deem more important and... " He then had a slight smirk on his face as he continued, "You had also given some good information last night. I am surprised you knew this much about the Devil Sect so much, brother Fang Chen."
If earlier words had surprised Ye Tian Yun, this time he was shocked to hear the next words.
Gao Xuan knew about last night's assassination and also about how Ye Tian Yun had helped the sect by giving information on how to fish out the hidden Sleeper Cells amongst the disciples.
Ye Tian Yun was sure that none of the elders would have leaked anything about this to others.
In fact, he was quite sure that even the preparators themselves wouldn't know how the sect came out unharmed from last night's incident.
And here, Gao Xuan was hinting to him that he knew the truth about what had happened behind last night's incident.
'He already had this good information network? Who's working for him? Must be someone from the higher-ups because the disciples were under the illusion the whole time.'
Gao Xuan continued to smirk as he saw YeTian Yun's expression, "You don't have to be so surprised... um... well, you can be surprised, you just don't have to be worried. I am not leaking anything to anyone. Neither do I have any interest in what's going on with you."
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "You won't leak the information unless someone pays you enough money to speak up or beats the shit out of. I am pretty sure there are many out there who could do any of them both and easily get this information."
"But, this is not something I need to be worried about. One day or other, the Devil Sect will know that they can't use Sleeper Cells anymore and who was the one who told everyone about a way to counter this weapon of theirs."
Gao Xuan nodded his head, "I also have other information which might interest you."
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "Where is that tavern, again? Let's talk about this one at a later date."
Gao Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't joke around; you should know that it's the tavern that will find you, not the other way around."
Taking a slight pause, he then said, "Well, I should take my leave; it was nice to meet an… old friend."
And just as Gao Xuan was about to turn and take his leave, Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and said, "Actually, there is one thing that you could tell me."
