Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 46: Meeting Zheng Xiang

Early in morning, the artistic golden sun got up like a little baby and started painting the dark black night into a bright blue sky. The bright looking milky clouds got up from sleep, giving off a majestic aura and started travelling around the sky visiting the serene and wonderful environment.

Dense, white mist coated the Gracious Sword Sect peaks as a new day had begun, and for few disciples, this day was going to be the start of a new arc in their lives.

Ye Tian Yun was one of them, as he woke up rubbing the remainders of sleep from his eyes, gazing out at the horizon; its vivid light extended across a blue sky. He supposed this was something the majority of people would consider beautiful, but he found it strange, hard even, to find something so meaningful in something so every-day. It's not like the sun wouldn't rise, it had, after all, been reliably happening since the beginning of time. So what was so special about it? He thought for a while and guessed, maybe this was a sense of accomplishment, a feeling which had become unfamiliar to him since long ago.

He felt accomplished to get one step closer to his goal. Now, if all went simple, he was going to slowly reveal his cultivation talent, put his name in the Gracious Sword Rankings of the Inner Court and qualify for the Grand Spirit Hunt.

Taking a deep breath, he got ready to start a new chapter in his quest for the Token Of Fate.

Soon, he reached the chain bridge to get to the first peak. He wasn't the only one present, one more disciple was there, waiting for the lift to return from the other side of the chain bridge.

Standing straight and proud, with a serene smile on his face, he was Zheng Xiang, the biggest dark horse of the last day's Inner Court Entrance Hunt.

Ye Tian Yun felt this was too coincidental, and now, he wasn't going to let go of an opportunity to know this anomaly in the plot.

He broke the ice, "Brother Zheng, are you also heading towards the Resource Hall?"

Zheng Xiang who was daydreaming heard someone calling him. He turned to find himself face to face with his new fellow Inner Court Disciple, Fang Chen.

Many thoughts flashed through his eyes and the most pressing was an urge to spar with the number one disciple of seventh peak standing in front of him.

Calming himself, he replied, "Yes, Brother Fang. I am going to the Resource Hall to receive my robes, token and the Qi Strengthening Pills. And by also, did you mean you too are heading there?"

"Indeed, I am also going there and once I get my robes and token, I will head towards the Martial Book Pavilion to choose a Rank 4 cultivation manual, let's see how it goes."

"Oh, then let's go together if you don't mind. I too have the exact same plan."

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Alright, let's go together."

"Ha-ha, that would be great. I didn't introduce myself formally, I am Zheng Xiang from the Silver Mist City's Zheng Clan."

"Oh? The Silver Mist City?" This new piece of information surprised Ye Tian Yun, not because it was Zheng Xiang's home, but because the city itself was roots to one of the big events in the future. And maybe, Zheng Xiang was also affected due to it and didn't appear in the later events.

"Ah? Have you heard of it? That's surprising," Zheng Xiang raised in eyes brows in surprise.

"Yes, in fact I have even been to the Silver Mist City once. I passed through there when I was on a two day visit to the Shi Clan few years back." Ye Tian Yun blurted some nonsense, just to keep the conversation ongoing.

"Oh, maybe next time you visit the city, you can stop by my clan for some rest."

"I won't miss the chance. Well, the lift is here, let's get on."

The lift soon reached the Seventh Peak. After the onboard disciples came down, both of them got into the lift.

As the lift began to move towards the First Peak, Zheng Xiang said, "Brother Fang, I am a bit surprised by your simplicity. Before personally meeting you, I have heard a lot of rumours about your arrogance, but now it looks like they were false, or maybe they were true and your arrogance is a facade?"

"Well, I have had my own reasons." Ye Tian Yun shrugged and asked, "What are your plans on the type of manual you're going to select from the Book Pavilion?"

Zheng Xiang didn't mind the change of topic and replied, "I do have something particular in my mind. My aim is to comprehend the legendary Sword Intent, and reach the fabled realm of Sword Saint. I will be looking for a manual which can help me in this path. What about you, Brother Fang?"

"I won't lie, actually I don't have anything in mind regarding what I want. As long as the manual is interesting, I will take it. I may sound a bit conceited or foolish, but this is what I have in my mind. Also, if you're aiming to become a Sword Saint, I will suggest you look for a sword cultivation manual which focuses on more on speed rather than fancy moves, this will make you focus more on understanding the true nature of sword and help you in comprehending the Sword Intent faster."

"Oh? Brother Fang sounds knowledgeable on this subject, are you also aiming to become a Sword Saint?"

"Zheng Xiang, just understanding the sword intent doesn't make someone a Sword Saint, there are many prerequisites other than just comprehending Sword Intent."

"Ah? Have Brother Fang ever met a Sword Saint?"
