Ye Tian Yun turned around to see who the owner of the restaurant was.
And to his surprise, it was someone he had recently met.
"Well, this is quite unexpected." Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but say.
The person laughed, "And here I was looking forward to this meeting."
Ye Tian Yun didn't reply to this remark, "Your cooking is good."
The owner smiled, "Well, if I had a spirit stone every time I heard this, I would have been the richest man alive long ago."
Ye Tian Yun just rolled his eyes and said, "It's not daily that I compliment someone."
"And it's not daily that I cook for someone." The owner replied.
"What do you want?" Ye Tian Yun squinted his eyes.
The owner just shrugged, "Nothing, just wanted to meet you. Maybe get to know you. Last time, our meeting didn't actually go like what I was hoping for."
"It was your arrogance." Ye Tian Yun replied.
"No, it was my humility." The Young Master smiled.
Ye Tian Yun shook his head and didn't say anything for some time.
Seeing him silent, the Young Master just smiled as he took the main seat on the other side of the table.
"Alright, I will say first." The Young Master finally said.
Ye Tian Yun turned his head, stared straight at him.�
"Who are you?" The Young Master asked.
Ye Tian Yun frowned.
"I know you are not Fang Chen." He said, "So tell me, who are you?"
Ye Tian Yun's frown deepened. Slight killing intent began to leak from his eyes.
However, the owner smiled, "Don't dare to try anything funny - you really think I wouldn't come prepared? Also, don't forget where you are. This is my restaurant."
Ye Tian Yun, nevertheless, didn't budge. His killing intent continued to increase.
The owner's smile slowly disappeared, and his voice changed a bit.
Not due to fear but out of intrigue.
The owner of the restaurant was intrigued by Ye Tian Yun's behavior.
"You are acting just like I had expected - and now, I will ask for one last time - Who Are You?" The owner's voice deepened by the time he finished.
Ye Tian Yun didn't answer but instead closed his eyes.
And then, let out a smile as he slowly opened them back.
Leaning back on the chair, Ye Tian Yun relaxed.
The Young Master, the owner of the restaurant, frowned at this.
This was an unexpected reaction - he had expected Ye Tian Yun to flip out and attack him.
But instead, the person opposite him relaxed.
What was going on in his mind? For the first time in this conversation, he couldn't judge what was going on.
Ye Tian Yun finally opened his mouth, "With your extensive information network, I was hoping that you would have known my identity by now, Gao Xuan."
Gao Xuan frowned but didn't say anything.
He was nonetheless surprised that Ye Tian Yun could identify him - not once, but twice.
The last time Ye Tian Yun had said his name, Gao Xuan had disguised himself as a disciple.
This time he had said his name, Gao Xuan had again disguised himself.
However, this time, his disguise was very well-known to the public.
So the surprise wasn't really as much as it was the first time.
Last time, he had encountered 'Fang Chen' while he was heading to meet a friend, and it was also at that time he had deduced the fact that 'Fang Chen' was not actually 'Fang Chen'.
Someone had disguised himself as Fang Chen and had infiltrated the sect!
Gao Xuan, however, in the end, didn't bother much with this.
He didn't pay much attention to this except for the part that he was quite excited to see the incoming chaos in the Gracious Sword Sect and the Fang Clan when they know that the Fang Clan's Young Master was actually someone else in disguise!
"Well, I failed." Gao Xuan said, "Isn't this the reason why I have already asked thrice? Who are you?"
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Why does it matter to you? I am pretty sure we won't be crossing paths, and our interests lie in different things."
Gao Xuan narrowed his eyes, "How sure are you about my goal?"
"You're like a caged bird, Gao Xuan," Ye Tian Yun said, "You want to spread your wings and fly - free from all shackles and chains that have held you back."
"Don't be surprised," He smiled as he continued, "Gao Xuan, I know much more about you - in fact - I can say I know the most about you than anyone else other than you. So it's not me who needs to be worried. Rather, you need to think about what if the Crimson Pavilion gets to know of your plans?"
Gao Xuan's expression suddenly changed.
With a serious tone, he said, "Trust me on this; you will regret speaking another word about this from your mouth."
Ye Tian Yun's smile widened, "See, I was right. Now, tell me, are you still interested in knowing who I am?"
Gao Xuan pursed his lips and thought for a moment.
In the end, he decided, "Well, I guess I have lost my interest in you."
He decided that his plan was worth more than poking his nose in Ye Tian Yun's business.
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "That's good."
"Gao Xuan, your decisiveness is what I like, and this is also the reason why I want you to grow more." Ye Tian Yun added.
Gao Xuan frowned, "So you're acting alone, hmm. I thought you were part of some hidden power."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "My background is not something you could ever fathom - at least not yet."
With a slight smile, he continued, "Gao Xuan, instead of poking into each other's business, I have a better idea."
"I got a deal for you - I ask you something, and if you could provide me with the information, I will give you one hint on what you're here for."
