After taking a few sips of wine, Ye Tian Yun headed out of the tavern.
He needed to make a few arrangements for himself before everyone gathered once again and started the journey.
After stepping out, Ye Tian Yun asked around for the market and soon reached the place where one could easily buy carriages and Ferghana horses.
He was here to meet up with Qing Shen and Fu Kai, both of whom had come here earlier.
It took him some time to pinpoint them through the bustling crowd.
As he approached them, Fu Kai sensed him and raised his head.
"What happened?" He asked in a surprised tone.
He hadn't expected anyone to come out and had thought that the disciples would rather choose to wait in the tavern.
Thus when he saw Ye Tian Yun, the first thought in his mind was that something serious had happened.
Hearing his words, even Qing Shen turned his head.
"It's alright, guys. I am just here to talk about something." Ye Tian Yun gestured to them not to worry about anything.
"Oh? What is it?" Qing Shen asked.
He was curious as to what had made this disciple come to one of the dirtiest places of the town to talk about something.
Ye Tian Yun covered his nose while saying, "Well, I was hoping you guys can get two extra Ferghana horses."
"Two more?" Fu Kai was confused even more.
"Why would we need two more?"
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and said, "I will explain once you guys are back. Just buy two extra Ferghana horses."
"Boy, do you even know how much a single Ferghana Horse costs?" Qing Shen asked with a frown.
He was slightly annoyed with Ye Tian Yun's demand and thought this guy was playing a prank here.
It wasn't hard to hear Qing Shen's thoughts from his irritated face. Thus Ye Tian Yun asked, "How much do they cost?"
"One hundred low-tier Spirit Stones." Qing Shen smirked.
He was already depressed from the death of his friend, Pan De, and here, a disciple was now coming to pull his leg.
'Let me see how you embarrass yourself now.'
But to his surprise, Ye Tian Yun didn't flinch from the price.
Instead, he actually let out a sigh.
A sigh of relief.
"Both of you… I thought they were expensive from the faces you made." Shaking his head, Ye Tian Yun took out a pouch from his Spatial Ring and tossed it to Fu Kai.
"Take it, and get me two Ferghana horses."
Without waiting for their response, Ye Tian Yun left the market.
Fu Kai and Qing Shen remained silent for a moment, assessing what they had just seen.
"What's inside this?" Qing Shen asked.
Fu Kai frowned and peeked into the pouch.
Slowly his frown turned into a shock. His reaction confused Qing Shen even more.
"What is it? Spirit Stones?" He asked once again.
Fu Kai slowly nodded.
"How much?"
Fu Kai let out a sigh, "Enough to buy this whole market."
"What!?"
…
Ye Tian Yun slowed down only after getting out of the market.
Even for a cultivator, the smell of horse shit was still not something one would like to smell for long.
"What's going on?"
Just as Ye Tian Yun was about to turn towards the Tavern, he suddenly heard a commotion.
"Isn't that Kai Yang?"
He suddenly noticed Kai Yang, one of the disciples who were part of the mission.
"Who's he arguing with?"
Judging from the situation, Ye Tian Yun was sure that the fight could start at any moment.
"Damn, this guy will delay everyone once again."
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh and headed straight towards the commotion.
"Boy, it's better you don't mess around anymore. Even if you're from the Fu Clan, I, your father, will send you to your maker with a flick of my finger."
Ye Tian Yun heard them arguing as he stepped closer.
There was already a crowd standing around them, enjoying the show.
"What's going on?"
Ye Tian Yun politely asked about the situation from a bystander.
The bystander shrugged, "That kid is messing with the wrong people. He won't even know how he died if those people got serious."
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes.
He contemplated getting involved in the situation.
After all, he needed Kai Yang to see if he was also a hidden Token holder or not.
'But if they kill him… won't that also make things easier for me?'
After all, his main target was to kill Kai Yang because he was the only unknown variable in the story.
"What should I do?" Ye Tian Yun had to decide before things got out of hand.
"Fuck it, this will be the first and last time I will ever try to be a hero."
Ye Tian Yun cursed himself and pushed through the crowd.
Soon, he was standing at the front.
This commotion immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Even Kai Yang and the guy with whom he was arguing turned their heads towards Ye Tian Yun.
After coming out in the open, Ye Tian Yun frowned at Kai Yang and said, "Why are you here? Weren't you told to remain in the Tavern?"
Kai Yang slowly nodded his head.
But then pointed his finger at the guy in front of him.
Ye Tian Yun couldn't make heads or tails of the situation. But he didn't wish for them to resume the argument.
"Come with me." Ye Tian Yun pushed Kai Yang.
"Hey!" The guy in front of them finally came back to his senses, "Stop!"
"What?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "What do you want?"
The guy sneered, "Don't you dare to play like a fool and take your friend out of here. He had made a grave mistake, and now he must pay."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, turned towards Kai Yang, and then looked at the guy, "What did he do?"
The guy gritted his teeth, "This boy dared to flirt with my woman."
Ye Tian Yun let out a loud sigh, "If a eunuch guy can take your girl's heart, then it's better for you to look at yourself first."
