Chapter 497 - 497 | Gao Xuan's Thoughts
"Do you know what you're saying?" The young woman asked in a low voice.
The mysterious man in front of her had just declared that it was the Crown Prince Xin Xue Fei who arranged the ambush on the Second Young Master of Gao Clan, Gao Long.
However, this was hard to believe for several reasons.
"The Crown Prince is one of the biggest allies of the Gao Clan," The woman said, "His interests and ambitions lie in the Gao Clan's interests. What possible reason could he have to cripple the Gao Clan's Second Young Master? And didn't you say it was the Crimson Pavilion? How are both of these parties related?"
Ye Tian Yun shrugged his shoulders, "I have already told you enough. Let's continue this chat sometime later."
The woman remained silent for some time before nodding her head and leaving the room.
Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath, and he too soon left the cabin.
His next destination - the Fang Clan.
He had already learned quite a bit about the Fang Clan from the young woman, though there wasn't much that he could use for his own plans; the information would indeed be enough for him to live a peaceful life in his enemy's clan.
…
While Ye Tian Yun had left the tavern, the young woman had gone to an underground room below the tavern.
Upon entering, she closed the door and removed the black mask covering her face.
She was a beautiful lady with thin lips, a sharp nose, and two large eyes. From the depths of the eyes, a human figure could be seen with no stain or dirt within it.
She was like a lotus in the clear waters, a beauty who was carved by nature!
After closing the door, she turned her head towards the futon at the center of the room.
Soon she was sitting on the futon in a lotus position with her eyes closed.
<<Young Master, I have something to report.>>
Hundreds of miles away, in a tavern, a young man was sitting near the window, staring intently at the empty wine glass in front of him.
Suddenly, a voice rang out in his mind.
He took a deep breath and asked.
<<Did he give the correct information?>>
Back in the royal city, the young woman replied,
<<Yes, Young Master. Every word he said was true, I have checked through the Token.>>
Gao Xuan nodded.
<<Hmm, what do you think about it? Is Crown Prince really the one who is behind all this?>>
The woman wasn't surprised that Gao Xuan knew about the contents from Ye Tian Yun's information.
<<Young master, we both have the same thoughts, this question is unnecessary.>>
<<Ah, yes>> Gao Xuan shook his head, <<I just wanted to see if you have any other opinion.>>
After a slight pause, Gao Xuan asked, <<what is it that you wanted to report?>>
The young woman replied, <<Young Master, the aura around this mysterious man was familiar. But I couldn't pinpoint where exactly we have met him.>>
<<Oh?>> Gao Xuan was surprised upon hearing this.
He might be able to hear the conversation between Ye Tian Yun and the young woman, but he could not do anything else, like he was not able to see the face of the person or assess the other party's aura.
<<Young Master, who do you think this person could have been?>> The young woman asked once again.
Gao Xuan shook his head.
<<I don't know. You're more sensitive to qi than me. You were able to tell he's familiar even without ever going out of the tavern… he must really be someone important for us.>>
The young woman nodded.
<<Yes, Young Master, that's what I feel. I wanted to put a tracker on him, but then I changed my mind at the last moment. He holds quite a bit of information, and if he wasn't sharing right now, that means there's a high chance he's saving it for future bargains.>>
Gao Xuan nodded.
<<Yeah. Information is never enough in this world. I am sure he will come back pretty soon.>>
The Young Woman nodded and then asked.
<<Young master, will you be returning to the Capital City soon?>>
Gao Xuan frowned.
<<I will come in a few days. There's one thing I need to do first.>>
The Young Woman frowned.
<<But Young Master, in the next two days, they will announce the partnership between Fang Clan and Gao Clan.>>
Gao Xuan leaned his head on the chair.
<< Don't worry about this. Earlier, I hesitated to betray the Crown Prince, but now that we know he was the one who put Second Brother in that state, I will make him suffer a fate worse than death.>>
Even though Gao Xuan's message was in a calm and normal voice, the young woman could feel waves of anger and frustration ready to burst upon the Crown Prince because she also was feeling the exact same.
<<Young master, please come back early. Even though we have set up guards for the First and Second Young Master, your presence is compulsory for the coming two days..>>
Gao Xuan frowned.
<<Why don't you go? No one will stop you. >>
The young woman immediately shook her head.
<<No, Young master. You know what I wish. You will have to be there. We can't take the risk of exposing my identity.>>
Gao Xuan smiled and didn't say anything.
<<Young master?>> Upon getting no response, the young woman asked once again.
<<Alright, alright. I will try to come. I hope that Crown Prince Ye doesn't come to the Capital City in Fang Chen's disguise, or we will have to kill him.>>
…
"Young Master Fang is here!!"
"Young Master Fang is here!!"
A huge shout resounded through the Fang Manor, attracting everyone's attention.
Ye Tian Yun had just stepped into the Fang Clan's courtyard, and someone had already identified him, even shouting his name, alerting the whole clan. '
'So this is Fang Clan.'
