"There's a high chance the Xin Royal Clan is planning to do something," Gao Xuan said, and with a side glance at Ye Tian Yun, he added, "Also, the Fang Clan is also playing a huge part in this role."
Zheng Xiang squinted his eyes and also looked at Ye Tian Yun. In a low voice, he added, "Brother Fang, do you know anything about it? I feel like this Gao guy is bluffing."
"Hey! I can hear you!" Gao Xuan snarled.
Zheng Xiang didn't respond to him and continued to stare at Ye Tian Yun for a response.
Ye Tian Yun simply shook his head, "I have nothing to do with all this. Have you never heard of my reputation?"
Zheng Xiang nodded, "Yeah, the arrogant Young Master Fang who doesn't have a talent neither does he give a damn about anyone else."
Gao Xuan simply shrugged at his words. "It's up to you guys whether you wish to believe my words or not. I have already said it all."
Ye Tian Yun lightly nods and assesses the situation.
If King Xin and Prime Minister Fang implemented their plans before the Grand Spirit Hunt, things would become unpredictable. Because right now, the Gracious Sword Sect had Sect Leader Su alive and well, not to mention, his cultivation realm was at least Peak Nascent Soul Realm.
That meant he might be able to hold back the enemy attack on his own.
On the other hand, this would also mean that the Gracious Sword Sect might not get destroyed, and Ye Tian Yun won't get the chance to snatch the High-tier, Spirit Vien.
Even if it did get destroyed, then what could he do? Since Ye Tian Yun also needed to use the opportunity and go to the Middle Heavens to breakthrough to the next realm.
And since he would be there, that meant he would miss the chance to get the Spirit Vein.
'This problem once again….'
After all the ways he thought of, Ye Tian Yun returned to the question that had been bothering him all along.
Suddenly Ye Tian Yun thought of something, and then glancing at Gao Xuan, he asked, "Do you know when will King Xin most probably make a move?"
Gao Xuan thought for a few moments and then replied, "If he doesn't do anything in the next one week, he won't do anything at all."
"Hm? Will he target our sect, or will he first take out the smaller fishes?" Ye Tian Yun asked.
Gao Xuan shook her head, "I am not aware of the exact details, but looking at the current changes in the overall situation within the kingdom, any educated person would advise the King to make a move within the next few days. Or else they will have to follow the original plan and think about it sometime later."
"Oh…" Ye Tian Yun lightly nodded and then asked, "Do you know how much time we have before King Xin turns the young masters of the Capital City into generals leading armies into the war?"
Gao Xuan smiled, "You have about three months. The main force that is coming towards the Southern Province will soon have to divide itself into two because of the increase in Spirit Beast attacks near the Western border. And that would be the time when King Xin will throw the Capital City young masters into war."
"The King is comparing the trained military force to a group of urban hedonistic young masters." Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but shake his head in disapproval.
What was the need to even involve the incompetent people in matters like the war against the biggest enemy?
With no good leaders, the forces would eventually fall anyway.
'Anyway, it's not something that I need to be bothered about. I only need to arrange things for myself.'
After cleaning his mouth, Ye Tian Yun pushed the plate into the dishwasher, and then, turning his head at Gao Xuan, he said, "I have to get back to my cultivation abode. Need to prepare some stuff."
Hearing his words, Zheng Xiang also nodded, "Well, you go ahead. I will be here till late evening."
Bai Qing'er simply gave Ye Tian Yun a sweet smile and waved her hand at him.
As for Gao Xuan, he suddenly had a hostile expression.
He stepped closer to the confused Ye Tian Yun and said, "Are you really planning to head to the Capital City? Don't come and cry to me later because I am warning you."
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Don't worry about that. I have my own plans. I won't interfere with yours."
Ye Tian Yun had already guessed that Gao Xuan was partly trying to stop him from heading to the Capital City because Fang Chen somehow created trouble for her own plans.
Gao Xuan turned silent after hearing Ye Tian Yun's words.
After a long moment, he could only sigh and say, "Fang Chen, it's better if you learn to say no at the right time. Sometimes, a no is more powerful than a speech."
Ye Tian Yun only gave him a weird look because he couldn't make head or tail of what the young master in front of him was trying to say.
"I will take my leave, then."
Zheng Xiang smiled, "See you later. Also, people challenge you. Just tell them that they will have to fight Zheng Xiang before they have the qualifications to fight you. I will deliver my promise. You, in turn, will arrange the resources for me."
Ye Tian Yun gave a light nod, "Alright, deal."
…
After bidding goodbyes and getting creeped out by Gao Xuan's weird smile when Ye Tian Yun was about to leave, he couldn't help but increase his pace.
He needed to get back to his cultivation abode, think about the incoming changes, and then deviate his plans accordingly.
Just as Ye Tian Yun stood in front of the chain bridge, someone called him from behind -
"Disciple Fang Chen!"
