About a few minutes ago.
When Kai Yang saw the reaction of Jun Xie, he was confused by the outburst.
But he didn't mind much.
Being a professional procrastinator, it was too much for him to meddle in others' affairs.
Just then, something whispered in his ears.
"Ninth Young Master, it's been a long time."
It confused him even more and even made his head turn because of the words 'Ninth Young Master'.
'Wasn't I also once called the Ninth Young Master?'
But when he looked around, there was surprisingly no one else in the street!
'Must have been my mind messing with me.'
Kai Yang didn't care much.
After all, no one knew about his identity in this place, and he was just a Core Disciple of the Gracious Sword Sect to the others.
"Ah, Ninth Young Master of the Great Yang Clan, please don't ignore this nobody."
The voice entered his hearing range once again.
This time, however, it got a different reaction from Kai Yang.
He froze for a second and immediately turned around.
"Ninth Young Master, please head to the Southern City Main Crossing. I have an important message from the Clan. Try not to reveal your identity to the fellow beside you, or else I will have to silence him."
Kai Yang frowned. He couldn't decide whether to follow the voice or stay here.
However, after a moment of consideration, he came to a decision.
Since the man was confident enough to kill Jun Xie, it was not worth taking any stupid risks.
On the other hand, this might be true, and there might really be some important message from the clan.
Kai Yang glanced at Jun Xie once again and found him asking something from the drunkard.
'I will just go.'
In the next instant, he disappeared in the direction of the voice.
Just as he had crossed the street, he suddenly heard his name being called out by Jun Xie.
'That guy must have been shocked by my disappearance.'
'Sorry brother, revealing anything will put you in grave danger.'
"I will join you in a few minutes, you go ahead."
Kai Yang replied and moved faster.
After about ten minutes, he was finally close to the Southern City Main Crossing.
"You were pretty fast."
The voice came out once again.
"Hm?" Kai Yang came to a halt.
The voice came from someone right in front of him!
'I didn't even notice him!' Kai Yang had his guard up.
Out of the darkness, a young man came out.
"Shu Xian!?" Kai Yang's expression slowly morphed into a huge shock as he whispered the name.
"How are you alive!? And how do you know my name!?" He asked, unable to wrap his mind around the situation.
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Ninth Young Master, this humble one's name is Xian Shu. I am one of the servants in the Great Yang Clan. I have been under the alias of Shu Xian in the Gracious Sword Sect."
Kai Yang frowned, "You never seemed to have… shown any signs of this earlier."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Young Master, I was instructed to do so."
Kai Yang asked, "Then what about the incident in the Blue Pole Town? You made everyone think I was a eunuch!"
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Young Master, I was saving your life. If I hadn't told them that you were a eunuch, things would have gotten complicated."
"I would have dealt with that guy on my own."
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "I was told to interfere for one time when your life is in danger, and I did so."
Kai Yang asked, "So why did you fake your death?"
Ye Tian Yun replied, "Something important came up, and I had no other choice but to fake my own death and headed back to the clan."
"Hm? Head back to the clan? Why are you here?" Kai Yang asked.
Ye Tian Yun replied, "It is for this Young Master."
Saying that Ye Tian Yun took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Kai Yang.
"What's this?" Kai Yang frowned as he moved closer to take the letter.
Ye Tian Yun also took a few steps, and while handing over the letter, he said, "Young Master, this letter was given to me by -!"
"Ouch!" A sudden outburst from Kai Yang interrupted him.
Kai Yang was pinching his thumb with a frown.
"What was that?" He asked.
Ye Tian Yun asked, "What happened, Young Master?"
Kai Yang waved his hand and then showed him a small cut on his thumb.
"The letter is pretty sharp." He grumbled.
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Ah, apologies Young Master, I should have warned you about it."
"It's alright," Kai Yang frowned and began to open the letter.
'This is indeed Yang Clan's seal.'
It was the seal that made him trust Ye Tian Yun.
But just as he opened the letter, a strange smell wafted through his nose.
"What is the meaning of this?" Kai Yang looked at the letter in front of him.
The letter was blank.
Ye Tian Yun made a confused expression, "What happened, Young Master?"
Kai Yang looked at him in anger, "Is this a prank?"
Suddenly he felt a dangerous intuition, and in the next moment, he had a sword in his hand.
"What do you want?"
Kai Yang had a feeling that he had walked right into an ambush!
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh and shook his head, "You're thinking too much, Young Master."
Kai Yang frowned.
Ye Tian Yun squinted his eyes and added, "Why would I bring more people to kill you when I alone am enough."
"You-!" Kai Yang moved his sword toward Ye Tian Yun's neck.
He wanted to slash.
He put his all in this slash.
But something weird happened.
His hand wouldn't budge!
It was paralyzed!
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh, "Great Yang Clan kids are always fun to deal with."
"Yang Kai," Suddenly Ye Tian Yun's expression turned serious, "You shouldn't have tried to kill me. Maybe you could have lived a long life."
"What do you want?" Kai Yang gritted his teeth.
His body below the neck was paralyzed!
Let alone using his other hand to attack, he couldn't even move an inch.
Ye Tian Yun gave him a friendly smile, "Nothing of value.. Just need your pathetic life."
