Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

A few minutes before the rain of arrows…

tig-dig, tig-dig….

The Golden Ferghana horse neighed and ran faster as Jun Xie whipped it. He had just noticed someone trying to attack Ye Tian Yun out of nowhere.

Even though he had expected a few troubles, he hadn't expected it to be that problematic.

Just as he thought he should turn around to see if Ye Tian Yun was alright, he suddenly received a spirit message from the latter.

[[Create an illusion. Stop others as soon as I jump and go away from this place. Also, put on an illusion over my ability - just hide my attack.]]

He didn't understand the whole thing but instinctively nodded.

Just then, he suddenly heard a slithering noise, and upon raising his head, he saw thousands of arrows coming at him.

[[Now!]]

He suddenly heard Ye Tian Yun's words and immediately cast an illusion and took control of everyone else's horses, stopping them from charging forward.

Only Ye Tian Yun and his horse went out while the rest stopped in confusion.

And as soon as Ye Tian Yun jumped up, Jun Xie immediately spread his Spirit Sense as fast as he could and cast an illusion of fog.

And before he could think of anything else, there was a huge explosion, and the next thing he saw was the burning forest - full of destroyed landscapes and charred bodies.

It took everyone a few moments to understand what had just happened, and as Jun Xie removed the illusion to let others on the horses know what had just happened, they too were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Gao Xuan suddenly sprinted his horse and, without hesitation, went inside the burning forest,  looking for Ye Tian Yun.

The others soon followed him, and it didn't take long for them to find their friend.

They found Ye Tian Yun interrogating a heavily injured man, who had his hand nailed on the tree.

"I am from the Ling Clan." 

They heard the injured man confess and consequently heard the remaining information.

Jun Xie, who was also hearing the man's words, suddenly noticed an intense emotional reaction around Gao Xuan.

And before he knew it, Gao Xuan shouted, "Is this the truth!?"

The man and Ye Tian Yun turned around to see them, both of them having the opposite expression.

Ye Tian Yun was frowning at him, while the man looked as if he had just seen a ghost.

"Ha-how!?" The man's jaw trembled, and teeth crackled.

Jun Xie saw Gao Xuan jump forward and put a knife on the injured man's neck. Gao Xuan gritted his teeth, "Tell me, whatever you just said, was that all true?"

The man gulped and nodded. Endless fear prevailed through his eyes.

Ye Tian Yun stared at the man with a frown, lost in his thoughts,

Gao Xuan interrogated him a bit more, but the answers of the man were still the same.

Gao Xuan rubbed his face and let out a long sigh.

For the others, this was Gao Xuan, but in truth, it was Gao Suyin, disguised as her younger brother.

Because the actual Gao Xuan was long dead - killed by the hands of the Princess.

However, the Ling Clan was behind all this, then didn't that mean that she was preparing against the wrong enemy all this time?

It was hard for her to believe this.

The Ling Clan was known for keeping a very low profile and was on good terms with almost all big or small clans.

Also, her brother Gao Xuan was a very close friend of Ling Yun.

'Is this true? Is the Xin Royal Clan actually the innocent ones?' She was confused.

On the side, Ye Tian Yun simply frowned and remained silent.

Jun Xie glanced at Ye Tian Yun and then saw Gao Xuan lose his strength and fall on his knees on the ground.

'Is the shock too much for him to handle?' The others were confused.

On the other hand, Ye Tian Yun sighed, and sitting on one knee, he put his hands on Gao Suyin's shoulder and said, "Brother Gao, wait for a minute before coming to any conclusion."

Gao Suyin raised her head and saw blurred Ye Tian Yun through her moist eyes.

She immediately rubbed her eyes, and then raising her head once again, she asked, "What do you mean… Brother Fang?"

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and turned towards the man.

Confused about what was going on, the man gulped upon seeing Ye Tian Yun's expression.

But Ye Tian Yun's next words unexpectedly surprised him.

"What will you do if we forgive you and let you go?"

"Hm?' The man was taken aback.

He didn't know how to answer. To tell the truth? No, he couldn't risk it now.

To go on with his story? That seemed to be the only plausible way.

The man then took a light breath and started to speak in a trembling voice, "I… I just want to go back… to my daughter…. She's four years old… I don't know how she will survive without me… please… please let me… I… I swear I will leave the Capital and never come back… please…"

Ye Tian Yun sighed, "That's quite sad. I hope you raise your daughter well."

"Huh?" The others frowned at Ye Tian Yun's words.

'Is he going to let this man go?'

Even Gao Suyin was confused and quite angered too.

How could she just let her enemy go?

This man had just confessed to killing her brother. Even though the latter didn't die according to him, but she knew the truth.

Gao Xuan was as dead as one could be.

She pursed her lips and stared at Ye Tian Yun, "Are you really going to forgive him? He killed… I mean, he tried to kill me."

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "But aren't you alive right now?"

Gao Suyin clenched her teeth.

But Ye Tian Yun didn't wait for a response. He turned towards the man and said, "As for you, your sob story would have been a bit convincing if you weren't a eunuch."

"Huh?!"
