BXBX NOVEL Chapter 609 - 609 | Encounter
Outside the Purple Sprint Garden.
Ye Tian Yun and Jun Xie had stepped out and were making their way back to the Fang Clan.
"Are you sure you haven't fallen for the Princess?" Jun Xie asked.
"No. Why do you ask?"
"Really? But with how intimate you were acting, anyone would think you both like each other a lot…"
Ye Tian Yun smiled upon hearing Jun Xie's words.
"Jun Xie, you haven't seen her real attitude yet. She's someone who acts cute and hard to get, but in truth, she's a bitch. If not for the fact that I needed her in the future, I would have reaped her life long ago."
Jun Xie frowned, "Did you ever mention what's your enmity with the princess?"
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "I don't remember… maybe?"
"Tell me again."
"Well…" Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and said, "Think of it like this: That princess is one of the potential reasons behind your sister-in-law's death in the coming future."
'Gao Suyin's death?' Jun Xie was a bit taken aback.
But upon thinking about it, it did make some sense.
Because Gao Suyin was part of the Gao Clan, while Princess Xin was part of the Xin Royal Clan, and both parties hated each other.
But… wasn't this too far-fetched?
"Why are you worried about something so distant in the future?" Jun Xie asked.
Ye Tian Yun froze for a moment before replying, "Well, I just don't want to take any more chances."
"Oh?" Jun Xie frowned, "But didn't you once say that it will be Fang Chen marrying Gao Suyin, not you?"
"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "What's that have to do with this?"
Jun Xie shrugged, "Well, you did just say that you are protecting your wife, but you also said that you wouldn't love your wife. So, I am just a bit confused. What are you trying to say?"
Ye Tian Yun stared at him for a moment and then nodded.
"Ah, I get it now." He said, "You thought I was talking about Gao Suyin. No, I wasn't."
"Hn? Then who?" Jun Xie frowned, "Wait, don't tell me, there's another sister-in-law!?"
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Not yet, but maybe in the future."
"Hm…" Jun Xie frowned, "Your life is going to be hella complicated. Two wives, two different identities, two different lives."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "It's not as complicated as you might be thinking."
Jun Xie shrugged, "Up to you, man. I won't interfere in your relationships. But I hope you don't make any stupid decisions. What if the wife you love doesn't love you, but the other one does, whom you don't even want to touch?"
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "That will never happen. Fang Chen will die because of an explosion after the Grand Spirit Hunt."
Jun Xie sighed, "Ok, this will be the last time I will bother you about this: do you know that by doing so, she will become your widow?"
Ye Tian Yun shook his head, but before he could say anything else, Jun Xie interrupted.
"Don't bullshit me with 'Fang Chen marrying her'. You're not justifying anyone but yourself. You are the one who doesn't want to open up to her. What if… she accepts your real identity too?"
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Jun Xie, let's not talk about this anymore. I am not a righteous person, and I do what I see as right. If I don't like someone, I would never change my mind."
"You sure?" Jun Xie frowned, "Then, how about a bet?"
"A bet? What kind of bet?"
"Well, I hope you don't ruin someone's life if you truly have a change of heart."
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Alright, we will see. Let's go - wait, is that Gao Xuan?"
"Hm?" Jun Xie looked up and found Gao Xuan sitting under the shade of a tree.
"What is he doing here?" Jun Xie asked.
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Who knows? Let me change back to Fang Chen. I have something to ask from him."
"Oh?" Jun Xie frowned, "Are you planning to invite him for the trip to the Thunder Valley?"
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yes. I have this intense bugging feeling in my mind, and it wants me to bring him with me."
"Oh?" Jun Xie was surprised, "Maybe he will become very useful in the coming future?"
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "Who knows, but yeah, there is one thing in which we might need his help."
….
At the corner of the street, under the shade of the banyan tree, was Gao Suyin, disguised as Gao Xuan.
The reason she was here was pretty simple: to encounter Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun.
Not that she was stalking him or was desperate to meet him. Rather, she wanted to visit the Thunder Valley.
She had come across some old records in the last few days, and now she really needed to visit that place to verify her doubts.
Because she knew that whatever was in that valley could quite possibly change the destiny of not only her clan but the whole Lower Heavens!
'No matter what way they chose, this banyan tree is a common point in all the paths. I hope he invites me, or else things will get delayed.'
There was actually another reason why she wanted to join Ye Tian Yun's party.
It was the Golden Ferghana Horses.
They were very expensive and very limited.
She had her assets, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, right now, her liquid assets were very low.
'If I can join them… I might get to use the Golden Ferghana Horse…'
There were about sixteen days left for her wedding, and if she left in a normal carriage or on a Ferghana Horse, it would take her about ten days traveling.
But her father wanted her to be in the Gao Clan at least a week before the wedding.
That meant she only had eight days!
And she couldn't even use any other clone, as she was afraid of some mishap. Thus she used her main body to create a disguise.
Just as she was thinking, she felt the presence of two people slowly approaching her.
