Ye Tian Yun stepped out of the Main Courtyard and paused.
Staring at the night sky, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The conversation between Madam Fang and PrimE Minister Fang just before he entered the second floor replied in his mind.
'I shouldn't have heard those words…'
No matter how much Ye Tian Yun tried to steel his heart but hearing the doting words of Madam Xin and Prime Minister Fang, Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but feel unfortunate.
He had the world's most powerful background, and he was also a genius, but there was one thing he lacked - parental love.
Emperor Ye was always busy in his own quests and fights and had rarely interacted with Ye Tian Yun.
As for his mother… Ye Tian Yun didn't even remember her face.
Even though he felt extreme anger if someone cursed her, he didn't even remember how she looked.
And looking at how lucky Fang Chen was, he couldn't help but feel jealous and was even slightly angry at Fang Chen.
'That dumbass… he was one of the most intelligent people of his generation, yet he failed to notice how much everyone around him loved him; instead, he hated the Fang Clan to the core….'
In the previous timeline, Fang Chen, with the help of Wang Yao and Crown Prince Xin, had destroyed the Fang Clan - beheading Prime Minister Fang with his own sword.
'And here, the Fang Couple is actually excited for their son's marriage, who actually isn't even their son; he's their nephew.'
'Prime Minister Fang knows this for sure… and despite the reports, he actually loves Fang Chen, rather than hating Fang Chen.'
'It's pretty clear now… Fang Chen got manipulated by Xin Royal Clan. Since it's pretty clear that King Xin doesn't like Prime Minister Fang.'
Rubbing his face once, he resumed his steps and headed for Fang Chen's courtyard.
'I need to be strong. At the end of the day, this clan… is not my home, and it never will be. The Fang couple will hate me to the core if they ever become aware of the truth, and i can't even fathom the reaction of Fang Chen's real parents….'
'Sect Leader Su will most likely betray the Great Ye Corps once he knows that I have killed the real Fang Chen.'
Ye Tian Yun shook his head and cleared his mind.
'It's not the time to focus on unnecessary thoughts.'
There were many more important things to do, and Ye Tian Yun wanted to focus on them. Like Xin Xue Qing, the Thunder Valley, Shi Yan, and so on…
'But before all these, let's increase some firepower.'
By firepower, he meant the cultivation of the four who were currently in the Guest Courtyard.
Because he had the Token Of Fate, Ye Tian Yun was able to see the favourability other people had towards him.
And even Wu Qingwu, with whom he barely interacted, had Four Stars Favourability.
Zheng Xiang had Five Stars, while Jun Xie had the highest, Six Stars Favourability; he considered Ye Tian Yun as his brother.
It was only Bai Qing'er whose favourability he couldn't see. But in her case, Ye Tian Yun was going on his gut feeling, and it told him that Bai Qing'er was trustworthy.
'I wonder why I can't see the favourability of these people…'
Bai Qing'er, Gao Xuan, the Girl he met in the NSN base, Gao Suyin, the burger girl…
'There definitely is a reason behind this, but only Gao Xuan was famous in my previous life, the rest were nobodies….'
Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and paused for a moment upon looking ahead.
He had already reached Fang Chen's courtyard.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun headed for the hall.
His courtyard also had a hall, but he rarely used it. He was mostly in the bedroom.
In the hall, Jun Xie and Zheng Xiang were chatting with each other. And just by overhearing a few words, it became apparent that they were discussing the illusion technique and the spar they had earlier today.
It looked like Zheng Xiang was hellbent on cracking the illusion technique.
'There are no shortcuts….'
Ye Tian Yun smiled as he entered the hall.
Noticing the arrival, Zheng Xiang and Jun Xie turned their heads towards him, and the latter asked.
"What is your cultivation realm, brother fang?"
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Higher than yours."
"..." Zheng Xiang frowned, "WIll I ever be able to catch up with you?"
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Well, I had a very good head start. You will have to cultivate a lot to not become a burden in the future."
Zheng Xiang nodded, "I understand. And this is why I am quite excited; what is the thing you wanted to show us, brother?"
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "This."
As soon as the word left his mouth, a scroll appeared from the spatial ring.
He put the scroll on the ground and unfolded it.
"A painting?" Zheng Xiang frowned.
"It's beautiful…." Jun Xie couldn't help but be amazed at this painting.
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "This is not a simple painting. It's like a spatial ring, but even living beings can enter this space."
"Oh? What's it called?" Ye Tian Yun's words had put Jun Xie and Zheng Xiang's attention fully on the painting.
"Nine Heavens Painting!"
"Wow, the name…."
"Kinda edgy."
"Yeah..."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "I got it from an ally, who is not an annoying nemesis. Let's get into this; I will show you something."
Jun Xie gave a wry smile, "How are we supposed to enter this?"
Ye Tian Yun replied, "Leave that to me. This painting is bound to me. And taking you guys is the first step of the total two. If we can complete the second step, you guys will be able to increase your cultivation at a very fast rate."
Zheng Xiang rubbed his hands together while saying, "Let's get on with it then!"
Jun Xie nodded.
Ye Tian Yun smiled and raised his hand; he snapped his finger.
Siu!
All three of them suddenly disappeared, leaving the painting on the table.
