Ye Tian Yun was confused.
He was confused at what had just happened.
When he had first taken Shu Xian as captive, he had thought of putting an array to bar the sound and shrieks of Shu Xian from getting out of the cultivation abode.
To his surprise, there was no need for that because Shu Xian already had a small array installed.
This made his work pretty easy, and he was able to focus on getting the information out of Shu Xian's mouth.
Fortunately, there weren't many hiccups, and he was able to get what he wanted.
However, just as he was haggling with the System over the price of the Aura Changing Pill, he suddenly began to hear loud knocks on the door.
What he didn't know was that if someone simply called him from outside, he wouldn't be able to hear it. It was because of the array.
Only after he heard the knock did he know that commotion outside had reached its peak.
Now he needed to think of something to escape the suspicion because he was sure that many disciples must have seen Shu Xian just before the smoke bombs exploded.
Thus he made a pretty simple escape solution - just get one cultivation realm higher than Shu Xian's actual strength and call out a breakthrough.
And the delay taken by this just gave more validity to his excuse.
With no one suspecting, he was left off the hook.
But it was at this moment Ye Tian Yun faced confusion.
And it was due to none other Sect Leader Su.
Well, Sect Leader Su wasn't acting like Sect Leader Su.
For instance, he was genuinely happy for Shu Xian's breakthrough.
One must not forget that Shu Xian was the right-hand man of the disciple Sect Leader Su hated the most within the sect.
And here he was, genuinely happy for him?
Either the Sect Leader was high, or he was really good at acting.
The second instance came when Sect Leader Su put his hands on his shoulder.
Those were not the hands of a man.
They were… soft and smooth?
They were the hands of a girl!
'Does the Sect Leader have interest sideways…?' Ye Tian Yun shuddered at this thought.
'No-no, that's impossible. If he were after men, he wouldn't have created so much trouble for himself by bringing Fang Chen to this world.'
'Whatever be the case, I am hundred percent sure those hands were of a girl!'
Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but think of how he shuddered at that moment.
It was not from fear but genuine shock.
And the final straw of hope in this encounter was the thing that Sect Leader Su did before heading out.
That smile.
It wasn't a normal smile.
It was a mischievous one.
It was someone who had just played a prank!
'What is going on?' Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but get confused at what was happening.
He had a bad guess about this, and it only made him feel frustrated.
Letting out a sigh, Ye Tian Yun stared at his ring.
He had to put everything behind his mind for now.
For now, he needed to focus on his current plan.
Tomorrow, all the disciples enlisted for the mission will be going to the Resource Hall, and there they will meet with Sect Leader Su, who will tell everyone about the mission details.
His guess would be confirmed tomorrow, and it would be Sect Leader Su who will tell him the truth.
During this mission, he would need to create an opportunity for himself and take out Xiao Ming.
Now, it was confirmed that he already had his token.
All Ye Tian Yun needed to do was kill Xiao Ming once he was quite far away from the Sect.
After all, there were already two more Tokens in the Sect. He had to create a considerable distance between them and the Token Of Fate for it to appear.
As for the other two Tokens?
They were definitely the ones that were never on his list.
The ones that he had never encountered.
The only problem was, he didn't know who the Token Holders were and which Tokens they were.
Though, he did know about one, but not about the second unknown Token.
The Token Of Reality.
Ye Tian Yun was sure that it was in Gao Xuan's possession.
Well, he was at least ninety-nine percent sure.
Since he knew about this Token, he was going to target Gao Xuan.
But it was just not the time yet.
He needed more time to prepare. In fact, Gao Xuan was going to be a more tough opponent than Wang Yao and on par with Shi Yan.
After all, Wang Yao wasn't the scheming type.
But for people like Gao Xuan and Shi Yan, precaution was the first step when going against them.
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh, but his problems were not cleared.
There was one last thing that was bugging him.
What if the third Token Holder was among the disciples enlisted for the mission!?
It may sound very cliche, but there was still a chance.
And Ye Tian Yun didn't wish to take any fatal risks at the very last stages of the goal.
If this third Token Holder was indeed a part of this entourage, the Ye Tian Yun wouldn't be able to kill Xiao Ming even if he had all the chances in the world.
It was because killing Xiao Ming wouldn't be worth it.
If he killed Xiao Ming, the Token Of Fate wouldn't appear because there would be another Token within the vicinity.
If he didn't kill Xiao Ming, he would lose the best chance, and things would go out of his hands.
Then what was he going to do?
He needed to look for a path, which would give him guaranteed success.
A plan which would guarantee that he would have his hands on the Token Of Fate.
