Ye Tian Yun frowned upon noticing the man.
'He wasn't here the last time.'
In fact, he wasn't here for any of the times he visited this place.
'That guy is covering the whole gate.'
"I guess we will have to wait for him to move." Ye Tian Yun replied.
Jun Xie stared at the huge walls marking the Garden, "Is that place really a garden? It looks more like a prison."
"It's a garden," Ye Tian Yun smiled.
"How about we jump over the walls?" Jun Xie shrugged.
"No," Ye Tian Yun shook his arrays, "This Garden is for the higher-ups of the Xin Kingdom. They have arrays at those walls."
"Arrays?" Jun Xie frowned, "who owns this garden?"
"Them." Ye Tian Yun pointed at the gate they had just passed by.
"Who are they?"
"The Gao Clan."
"Oh!" Jun Xie smiled, "What a coincidence."
"Indeed."
"So, how are you planning to cross it?"
"We gotta wait." Ye Tian Yun said, "That's the only way. We wait for that guy to move from the way or wait for a random Young Master to come and enter the Garden."
"Hmm, I guess so." Jun Xie frowned.
Both of them soon reached the main gate of the Purple Spring Garden.
"How long can you last with this illusion?" Ye Tian Yun asked.
Jun Xie thought for a moment and asked, "You got more of those pills?"
"Yeah."
"Then don't worry."
"Cool."
…
The huge man was standing with his back on the main gate with his hands crossed and eyes closed.
The other guards stood there ignoring him, although no one objected to him either.
This huge man now blocked the only way to enter the Garden.
"How long will he stay here?" Jun Xie whispered to Ye Tian Yun.
It had already been about fifteen minutes.
"Here." Ye Tian Yun passed him a pill and turned towards the Purple Spring Road, "Two more minutes."
"Hm?" Jun Xie also turned around and, noticing the scene; he smiled, "Ah, the long-awaited Young Master. I wonder who this is? It's unlikely this is someone random considering how decorated and exquisite the carriage is."
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Who cares. We just need to get into the Garden, hit on the princess, and see the response."
"Hmm, true." Jun Xie shrugged.
There was indeed a carriage approaching from the far end of the road, and in this carriage was a Young Master.
But this was no random young master.
Instead, the carriage belonged to one of the three most well-known young masters of the capital City, Young Master Ling Yun.
And he was not alone. With him was his new friend and the Ling CLan's mysterious guest, Feng Yun.
"Brother Feng, do you know these walls also have arrays?" Young Master Ling Yun spoke while pointing at the walls through the see-through curtains of the carriage.
Feng Yun glanced at the huge walls, "Hmm, the arrays on this? That's interesting. Is the Gao Clan really rich? You said it ranked last."
"The ranking is just a generalized thing," Ling Yun shrugged, "They have the money, but they don't have someone to manage it. Also, other clans invest in this Garden too; that's why the array keeps running all the time."
"Hmm, no wonder," Feng Yun nodded, "Well, I can't judge the array without personally looking at it. So it's hard to tell anything about the array unless we're standing close to the wall."
"Ah, yes, that's true," Ling Yun smiled, "But Brother Feng, your knowledge on the arrays is very profound. I can't help but feel ridiculous that I considered myself the most talented genius when it came to arrays."
"I don't consider ignorance a sin," Feng Yun's lips curved into a smile, "As for being the most talented, there's always a mountain beyond the mountain and heaven beyond the heavens. Live life with humility, the chances of reaching the peak will increase significantly."
Ling Yun laughed, "Brother Feng, I feel like I am talking to my Elder Sister whenever you speak such stuff."
"Hmm? Why? Is it because it's interesting?"
"Um… well… because it goes over my head."
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, the smile on Feng Yun's face receded, and he frowned while staring outside the carriage.
"Hm?" Ling Yun got confused by the sudden change of reaction, "What happened, Brother Feng?"
"Hmm, well, there's an illusion outside. It's either a very talented alchemist, or there's an illusion array."
"Illusion array?" Ling Yun frowned, "I think they have increased the security. There are rumors that the Third Princess visits the Garden these days."
"The Third Princess?"
"Yes, it's Princess Xin Xue Qing."
'Xin Xue Qing' Feng Yun frowned. 'Isn't that…'
"How is she as a person?" He asked.
Ling Yun let out a smile, "She's a very nice person. But she's very cold towards people like me; it's hard to catch her attention."
"Oh?" Feng Yun smiled, "Why would that be? I think any girl would be interested in you? Don't tell me you did something stupid."
"Nah, it's not that," Ling Yun shook his head, "It's her game that she's playing."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I will explain it to you more in detail. For now, let's just enjoy our time in the Garden. I don't get much free time because of the sect stuff and my cultivation, so it's really a pleasure to visit this Garden."
"Oh?" Feng Yun smiled, "Don't tell me you're not looking for the princess here."
"Nah, she won't come here," Ling Yun shook his head, "It's most probably a rumor that she visits the Garden. I suspect the Gao Clan is behind this, but I can't understand why since they don't need any publicity or advertising for this Garden."
Just as Ling Yun finished, the carriage suddenly came to a halt.
"Young Master, we have reached the garden." A servant called out from outside.
Ling Yun smiled, and glancing at Feng Yun; he said, "Let's go."
As both of them stepped inside the Garden, two young men followed them, though discreetly.
