Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Hm? What?" Madam Xin frowned, "What do you mean?"

Prime Minister Fang didn't reply but turned towards Ye Tian Yun, "Am I right, son?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yes. I just want to participate in the tournament to decide the young Dragon and take part in the trial, I don't have any thoughts of marrying my Xin Xue Qing. The trial is very important for my future, and no amount of persuasion will change my mind."

Madam Xin let out a sigh, "Ah, this child… don't you know that if you become the Young Dragon, you will be no considered Son-in-law by the Xin Royal Clan?"

"We can make things clear from the very start." Ye Tian Yun suggested, "We can make it very clear that I don't wish to marry the princess."

"Heh, that will be a big mistake." Prime Minister Fang shook his head while saying, "If the Young Dragon doesn't wish to marry the princess, the Xin Royal Clan will make the princess reject the Young Dragon, making the former lose his chance to enter the dungeon."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Then does that mean whoever goes in the trial with the princess will have no other choice but to marry the princess?"

Prime Minister Fang Yuan nodded his head, "Yes, there is no other option. This is why we don't want you to take part in the Grand Spirit Hunt."

Madam Xin nodded her head, "Yes. The matter related to Young Dragon is too complicated and has many hidden schemes and plots. You should stay away from them and live a peaceful life."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Peace was never an option. We are cultivators, and in this world, only the most powerful can live a peaceful life. I am not the most powerful yet. I still have a long way to go, and in my way, troubles like the Grand Spirit Hunt will come, and I will have to face them."

Prime Minister Fang Yuan frowned, "Alright, let's assume we allow you. But you won't be able to take part in it anyway because the Gao Clan won't agree."

"They won't agree?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Is it because of the difference in the status of the princess and the Gao clan lass?"

Prime Minister Fang nodded, "Yes. If you were to take part in the Grand Spirit Hunt and get crowned as the Young Dragon, which in simple words would mean you will be marrying the princess. And since you will also be marrying the Gao Clan's Miss, there will be unnecessary friction between the two."

"And don't forget that there can only be one Madam of the Clan Head. And because of the status and upbringing, the princess will be the Madam, instead of the Gao Clan's miss."

"Gao Kang will never agree to this. He won't let her daughter's status fall. And we will also be making enemies out of the Gao Clan."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Why can't we simply stop the marriage from progressing? The public doesn't know anything about it; can't we cancel it?"

Prime Minister Fang shook his head, "We have been over this already, and I don't want to discuss it anymore. Marriage is a must. It has to happen. Maybe if you one day reach the Nascent Soul, I will tell you the main reasons behind the marriage."

"Nascent Soul?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "You've decided to get me married within a month, and you will tell me the reason behind my marriage five to six years later? Are you serious?"

Prime Minister Fang laughed, "Now that you put it this way… well, you will have to wait. Believe it or not, you had a chance to escape from this marriage, but you lost it as soon as you stepped into the capital city."

"Hm? Are you saying the only way to avoid this marriage was not to leave the Gracious Sword Sect?" Ye Tian Yun frowned.

"Exactly," Prime Minister Fang shrugged.

"Son," Madam Xin suddenly said, "There is one more way to get all this done, but you will have to work hard."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun asked, "And that would be?"

Madam Xin smiled as she replied, "Crush all your opponents so thoroughly that no one in your generation can even touch you. Once you have become the Young Dragon, don't say anything about the marriage. Just focus on cultivation and get to the stage where you can thoroughly crush the Xin Royal Clan; only then will you have your free will."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "What is the highest cultivation realm in the Xin Royal Clan?"

Madam Xin frowned, "There are three elders. The weakest among them is in the Half-Saint realm."

"Half Saint Realm?" Ye Tian Yun nodded.

This realm was reachable in a few years.

Even in his previous life, he was at the peak of this realm by the age of twenty-two.

Prime Minister Fang smiled while observing Ye Tian Yun's expression, and after a few moments, he said, "Go and take some rest now. We will announce your marriage with the Gao Clan's miss tomorrow."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun stood up and left the room with a slight frown on his face.

'Sigh, how far do I need to go for these goddamn tokens….'

Inside the study room, Prime Minister Fang Yuan resumed his work, and Madam Xin was staring at him with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"What happened now?" Prime Minister Fang asked.

Madam Xin said, "Is it just me, or did you also notice that Fang Chen has changed?"

"What?" Prime Minister Fang frowned, "I didn't notice anything."

"Oh? Maybe I am just overthinking…."

Prime Minister Fang shrugged, "Fang Chen is still injured. It will take some time for him to recover. You want to see his usual self?"

Madam Xin shook his head, "No. At least he was talking properly today. Earlier, he used to always avoid us."

Prime Minister Fang Yuan smiled, "Fang Chen has finally shown some potential. I will have to talk with Gao Kang about this.. Tomorrow, the whole Capital City will know about the marriage."
