Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 587 - 587 | Ye Tian Yun's Way Out

"I don't think of her." Ye Tian Yun replied.

Gao Xuan's eyes twitched upon hearing this, and clearing his throat, he asked, "Since you're aware of the information network, then you should know that I have been keeping tabs on you. Recently I have received a tip about you, which is not yet married so I don't know how much of that is true. And if it's true, I would like you to explain your actions, and if it's not true, I would like you to tell me it's not true."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "...Alright."

A thousand possibilities flashed through his mind. And all seemed quite possible because he would never underestimate the information gathering skills of Gao Xuan and his organization.

'Did he find out about my identity? About me being an imposter? About Fang Chen's death? Or is it about me and Wang Yao?... What if it's about my rebirth?'

"Hm, so here's my third question," Gao Xuan stared at the table in front of him for a long time in silence before asking, "What is going on between you and Princess Xin Xue Qing?"

"..." Ye Tian Yun almost facepalmed. 

'Am I overestimating him? What kind of useless question is that…'

After a long sigh, Ye Tian Yun replied, "Well, as of right now, there's nothing going on."

"Why are you meeting her in the Purple Spring Garden then?" Gao Xuan asked in a weird tone.

Ye Tian Yun frowned. 'Why is he saying as if he's feeling hurt… oh… didn't he have a crush on the Princess? Ah, my bad dude, but I can't compromise on this matter.'

"I am getting myself acquainted with her." Ye Tian Yun shrugged.

"Do you… like her?"

"No." Ye Tian Yun shook his head.

Gao Xuan slightly smiled, "Okay. You have earned my trust."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "What? What if I lied in a question?"

"You didn't." Gao Xuan smiled.

"...Hmm, that's an interesting intuition."

Gao Xuan stood up from his seat, "It is indeed very helpful in these situations. Well then, if you need any help, just send someone to the new Xuan Tavern in the Western District of the City."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and said, "You started a tavern?"

"Yes," Gao Xuan smiled, "It will be open for business from tomorrow."

"Oh… I thought it's already open," Ye Tian Yun said, "Maybe I would have come to your tavern tonight for dinner."

"For dinner?" Gao Xuan's eyes flashed, "Alright, come and have dinner at my tavern. You will also get to be the first person to taste my new dish."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised, "What's it called?"

"French Fries."

"French Fries?" Ye Tian Yun asked, "What's French?"

"It's just a name," Gao Xuan shrugged.

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "interesting name. Alright, I will visit the tavern with my friends after a few hours."

"Oh, you won't be coming alone?" Gao Xuan frowned.

"I wasn't planning to… wait, is the dish a big secret? I won't bring anyone else if you don't want to."

"Nah, it's alright, it's alright." Goa Xuan shook his head, "Bring them along."

Ye Tian Yun also stood up from his seat, "Sure. By the way, will you be free five days from now?"

"Free? What happened?" Gao Xuan frowned.

Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment, "Well, I was planning to bring you along for something. If you're busy, then it's better for you to skip it."

"No, I am free." Gao Xuan. 'I have all the time in the world for…'

"That's great!" Ye Tian Yun smiled, interrupting his thoughts.

"I will take my leave then."

Ye Tian Yun nodded and gestured to him to move forward.

Both of them headed towards the exit of the Fang Clan.

"By the way," Along the way, Gao Xuan asked, "Have you met my sister yet?"

"...Not officially." Ye Tian Yun replied.

Gao Xuan exhaled and continued to move forward, "You know, I was really surprised when you said you don't even think about my sister. Aren't you both getting married? You know this matter is very serious."

Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Brother Gao, I have many other things to focus on. Why would I waste my time thinking about someone I have never even met?"

Gao Xuan pursed his lips, "What do you think of this marriage, Brother Fang? Are you agreeing to this marriage?"

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "I would rather not answer this question, Brother Gao. This marriage was never up to me to decide, my opinion in this matter, technically, doesn't even matter."

"...But you must have felt something?"

"Sigh, what do you think I felt when I found out I was going to marry a young lady whom I barely know? And don't you know my reputation? Anyway, if you wish for me to be honest, then listen, the Fang Clan and the Gao Clan are ruining your sister's life. I don't know about the future, but right now, I don't even think about her."

'...and never will. Because she's marrying Fang Chen, and I am not Fang Chen. I am Ye Tian Yun. After my business in the Lower Heavens is done, 'Fang Chen' will accidentally die and your sister will become a widow.'

This was Ye Tian Yun's plan as of this moment. 

Even though Gao Clan's Third Young Miss was extremely beautiful and had the charm of an elegant and virtuous young lady, Ye Tian Yun still wouldn't allow himself to get too close with her. After all, she doesn't even know his real identity, and will quite possibly hate him forever if she came to know of the truth.

'I will just keep my distance so she doesn't feel a big loss when 'Fang Chen' dies.'

Ye Tian Yun nodded to himself.

On his side, Gao Xuan remained silent for the remaining distance.

Author/Trivia:

-  Even though he had many branches of taverns, Gao Xuan's information network bases were mainly in the taverns of different clans and sects, or even at random places. He did use his own taverns to strengthen his information network but never used them as a base of the Nightcrawler Surveillance Network.. This was why no one ever suspected the declining Gao Clan's Fourth Young Master Gao Xuan to be its master.
