Chapter 389 - 389 | Ye Tian Yun's Request
"Dead?" Emperor Ye nodded his head, "You succeeded in killing him? From what I have heard, you were thoroughly suppressed by the enemy."
Ye Tian Yun laughed, "I got lucky."
Emperor Ye nodded, "Yeah, sure you did."
Suddenly, something dawned upon Ye Tian Yun, and he asked, "Father, from where did you hear about it?"
Emperor Ye glanced at the side.
Ye Tian Yun followed his gaze and noticed an unconscious young man.
Qin Wentian!
Ye Tian Yun was surprised to see him, "Wow, I guess, leaving him alive did have its merit."
Emperor Ye nodded, "I made him unconscious."
Ye Tian Yun suddenly frowned and looked up.
"What the hell….. How in the world did I not notice this!?"
He was staring at the landslide, which was still in the air!
Butler Liu laughed, "You were too engrossed in your thoughts."
Ye Tian Yun, still in amazement at the scene in front of him, nodded his head, "I guess so…."
When Emperor Ye brought him to the city, Ye Tian Yun had arrived within an instant. He hadn't witnessed the destruction and the chaos from above.
After he arrived in the city, his attention was fully taken away by Butler Liu, Jun Xie, and Yuan Shuchun.
Only now did he notice the hundred-foot wall of debris hanging in the sky, ready to gulp the city at any instant.
And all this was because of the weird shadow he saw near the unconscious Qin Wentian.
"This was unexpected," Ye Tian Yun shook his head.
And then observed the surroundings around him.
'Damn, no one survived….'
Butler Liu quipped, "Half of the city is destroyed. Only these three kids somehow survived. Mainly because of the artifacts they had to defend from this blast."
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head.
Jun Xie, Yuan Shuchun, and Qin Wentian all had very powerful backgrounds.
"Father," Ye Tian Yun suddenly remembered something, "When I was attacked and was almost about to lose my life, Yuan Shuchun's guard suddenly interfered and defended me. He did this as soon as the enemy revealed my identity. Clearly, he wanted to protect me, even more so than Yuan Shuchun. I want to confirm… by any chance... Are you close friends with Yuan Xuming?"
Emperor Ye glanced at Butler Liu, who gave a slight nod, and then after a while, he spoke, "Son, the matter between me and Sword Saint is a bit complicated. But yes, you can say we're good friends."
Ye Tian Yun was a bit confused, "But then why does everyone thinks that you hate each others' guts? Even I thought the same until today."
Emperor Ye pursed his lips before saying, "as I said, the matter is a bit complicated. I will explain it to you in detail once you… once you have grown a bit."
Ye Tian Yun was confused, but he knew any more attempts to get the answer would be futile.
To stop the sudden awkward silence, Butler Liu asked, "Crown Prince, what are your next plans? Do you wish to return to the Middle Heavens?"
Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and glanced at Emperor Ye, asking, "Father, can I be in Lower Heavens for a few more months?"
Emperor Ye surprisingly agreed, "Alright. But you will have to do one thing. Go with Butler Liu and visit your Uncle Wang's place. There, you need to bring the Great Ling Clan's princess, Ling Qing'er. After that, you're free to do whatever the hell you want."
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Okay."
His response confused Emperor Ye, "I thought you would object… Well, that's a surprise."
Ye Tian Yun replied, "I will take this as a vacation, free from worries about the future. But before that, I have one request."
Emperor Ye replied, "Ask away."
Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment before saying, "Father, I will stay here for three weeks and head to the Gracious Sword Sect. Exactly three weeks from today, I will meet Butler Liu outside the southern gate of the sect, and from there, we both will head to Uncle Wang's place."
"Father, I hope you agree with this because this is important for me to tie up some loose ends and make way for my future plans."
"Also, Butler Liu, I hope you don't take Jun Xie with you. He will have a brighter future here in the Lower Heavens. His desire to find the truth behind his pendant is the biggest motivation he has right now. It is the driving force behind his hard work. So please don't take it away by revealing the truth to him when he wakes up. In fact, it would be best if you don't appear once he wakes up."
"This…" His words stumped Butler Liu.
"Alright," Emperor Ye nodded, and then glancing at Butler Liu, he said, "This is for the best. A new era has begun. It's the best time for these youngsters to grow and create a place for themselves in this cruel world."
Ye Tian Yun was confused by Emperor Ye's sudden speech, "A new era?"
Emperor Ye nodded his head, "Yes. Someone has received the first token of your generation."
Ye Tian Yun was surprised.
'The phenomenon happened….'
'Well, that was expected.'
He nodded, and looking at Butler Liu; he asked, "What are your thoughts, Butler Liu? Do you agree with my request?"
Butler Liu let out a sigh and said, "I don't have any problem, but I have one request from you, Crown Prince."
"Oh? What is it?" Ye Tian Yun listened carefully.
"Ahem, Crown Prince. I hope you can brainwash his mind and remove the hatred he had against his clan. Things happened in the past, and I had no control over anything."
"Trust me when I say this, but I am the last person who would want him to suffer like this."
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "I understand. But, what about his pendant…?"
Butler Liu shook his head, "It was one of its kind. There won't be any other."
Ye Tian Yun replied, "Alright, well, this pendant can be a good explanation on why he survived. It's better than concocting an unbelievable story."
Butler Liu nodded, "Alright then, three weeks it is."
Ye Tian Yun let out a long breath, "Yes. Three weeks."
Emperor Ye told Butler Liu, "Let's head back then; those people will arrive soon."
Ye Tian Yun asked, "Who, father?"
"The Heavenly Oracle Sect."
