Reading this, the Elder put down the sheet of paper and said, "Shu Xian, this was the report on him. Now, show me the proof that Yang Kai holds the Token Of Fate."
Ye Tian Yun slightly frowned upon hearing the Elder's words.
'Damn, here I thought Kai Yang would be a random nobody. To think this guy is also important…'
'Well, no matter how important he was, it's only natural that he was supposed to lose his life here. I don't think I have any use for him, so let's just go with fate.'
Clearing his throat, Ye Tian Yun replied, "Seniors, I can't show you the proof because Kai Yang himself told me and revealed the existence of the Token."
"He told you?" Yin Shan stared at Ye Tian Yun, "Do you think your answer is believable?"
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Senior, it will be after you hear the second part."
"When he told me, it wasn't in a direct way. In fact, everything stems from a very complicated story." Ye Tian Yun added.
"Complicated story?" Elder frowned, "Boy, you're wasting everyone's time."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Seniors, I am sure in the papers in front of you, there's a good amount of information about me. Please have a look carefully."
"Hm?" The Elder frowned and took a paper in his hand.
It was a report on Shu Xian.
"There's nothing special here besides the mission you have done. I can put you in any branch, and the evaluation will still be just above average." The Elder replied as he put down the paper.
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Elder, I didn't mean that you need to judge my performance. I wanted you to notice if there's anything unnatural in the list."
"Hm?" The Elder frowned, "What do you mean?"
Ye Tian Yun replied, "I am talking about my mission to Crimson Bay."
The Elder glanced at the paper once again and read, "About three years ago, you went to the Crimson Bay to assassinate an important official."
"You were injured and stayed in a mortal's house to recover."
"That's it. Except for the mission details, there's nothing else."
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Elder, what I want you to know is that this mission is where I came to know about the Token OF Fate."
"Hm?" All the three of them frowned at him.
"How?" Yin Shan asked.
Ye Tian Yun replied, "I overheard a conversation. And I found out that the Great Yang family's descendent is one of the Token Possessors."
"But I didn't know about the validity of this information. Thus I didn't mention it to anyone."
"However, I kept it in my mind. I just had an intuition that this was going to be useful."
"Later, I found Disciple Kai Yang's action quite suspicious, and just yesterday, I found out that he hates the name, Yang Kai. I felt it was quite dumb, but then it flashed."
"I knew I had to do something about it, and thus I created an opportunity for myself to get here earlier than them and inform you about it."
"And when I came and told you about my suspicion, you confirmed that Kai Yang, whose real name is Yang Kai, is indeed one of the young masters of the Great Yang Family from the Middle Heavens."
"Now that I have told you the name of a Token Possessor, I am sure I have at least earned enough merit to keep my life."
As Ye Tian Yun finished his words, the other three of them looked at each other.
"Boy, I will trust you. But tell me, how did you find out that we were behind the curtain?" The Elder said.
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I never mentioned it, but I am quite talented when it comes to Spirit Sense."
"Oh?" The Elder was surprised, "Hmm. Well, alright."
After a slight pause, the Elder said, "You have shown your worth. Go and have some rest."
Ye Tian Yun was quite surprised, but he had no other choice.
Clan head Jia Lei Shan stood up and gestured at Ye Tian Yun to follow him.
After a few minutes, he returned, having ordered the servants to arrange a room for Ye Tian Yun.
As soon as he took a seat, the Elder asked, "Do you believe his words?"
Yin Shan and Jia Lei Shan looked at each other for a moment and nodded their heads at the Elder.
The Elder let out a long breath and said, "We can't continue the earlier discussion. For now, I need to go and make a few arrangements."
"The Devil Sect must get the Token Of Fate."
"Yes, Elder!"
…
In a certain room, Jia Lei Clan.
Ye Tian Yun frowned as soon as he sat on the bed.
'They believed? So easily?'
He couldn't believe it.
'I had too many loopholes.'
'There must be something that made them believe in my words.'
Looking at the clear sky outside his window, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
'I need to sneak out of the room tonight. It will be too troublesome if I go out during the day. That means for the next twelve hours; I am stuck here.'
'Still, it's quite hard to believe that they believed in my words… either they were faking it… no, there was no need to fake or give me false hope.'
'If they didn't believe me, they could have easily attacked me.'
Earlier, when Ye Tian Yun arrived, he had planned to put Kai Yang on a pedestal and make him Devil Sect's target.
However, everything went into disarray when it was revealed that Kai Yang was actually a part of the Great Yang Family.
'Those fuckers… they send their youngsters to live at the bottom of the world for ten years, and then make each other fight for the Clan Head position…'
'Out of billion cultivators in the whole Lower Heavens, the only guy I wanted to use as bait turned out to be part of the huge clan.. Luckily those guys believed my bullshit story, or else it would have turned out pretty nasty.'
