Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince - Chapter 576: Truth (II)

“You… you… you are Kai Yang!?”

Ye Tian Yun didn’t say anything and repeated his actions. And when he once again glanced at Jun Xie, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

“Shu… Shu Xian!?”

Ye Tian Yun smiled, “Don’t be too agitated, or you will lose control over the illusion.”

“Yeah.. yes.” Jun Xie rubbed his forehead.

A lot of memories suddenly flashed in his mind.

After a few moments of silence, he glanced at Ye Tian Yun and asked, “You killed Shu Xian and then disguised as him to join the entourage to take part in the mission… later, you faked his death….”

Ye Tian Yun smiled, “Ah, your observation skills are finally coming to use. But why do you assume this is the exact truth?”

Jun Xie clenched his teeth, “I am sure this is the truth because when I saw Shu Xian’s corpse, I could easily tell that the corpse was at least a day old. I felt something was wrong, but I didn’t bother much.”

Ye Tian Yun nodded, “Good. Well, now you know. As for Kai Yang, do you remember when you both separated in the Silver Mist City?”

“Hm?” Jun Xie thought for a moment, and soon his eyes were wide open in another shock, “Don’t tell me… the Kai Yang who came back was you!?”

Ye Tian Yun nodded, “Yeah. I needed Kai Yang to infiltrate the group once again, so I targeted him. And before you go all righteous, let me be clear that Kai Yan wasn’t a normal guy, he is part of a big clan from the Middle Heavens, and that clan… has a bad history with my clan.”

Jun Xie frowned, “That’s just your way of justifying the murders….”

“Nah,” Ye Tian Yun shook his head, “I don’t need to justify anything to anyone. I didn’t come here to be a righteous hero. I have my goal, and I will go to any lengths to get them. I was never supposed to be the good guy in the first place.”

Jun Xie exhaled, “What was your goal?”

Ye Tian Yun smiled, “I was there to kill Xiao Ming, but because he had something precious, I had to create an opportunity and catch him off guard at the right moment.”

Jun Xie sighed, “After I was unconscious… How did my father appear in the Silver Mist City?”

“The pendant, of course,” Ye Tian Yun shrugged, “Your pendant broke, and it alerted your father. And at that time, he was with my father, so both of our fathers arrived in the Silver Mist City in an instant.”

“Oh…” Jun Xie turned his head towards Ye Tian Yun, “What did my father… say when he met me.”

“He was extremely worried,” Ye Tian Yun smiled, “And only calmed down when you got out of danger.”

“Then why didn’t he wait for me to wake up? Don’t give me the ‘You were not ready’ bullshit.”

“Nah.” Ye Tian Yun shook his head, “It’s quite the opposite, I think. He’s the one who wasn’t ready to face you. Also, I think people from the Heavenly Oracle Sect were also coming, so they had to take leave.”

“Crown Prince Ye-”

“You can call me Brother Yun,” Ye Tian Yun smiled, “Even though we’re not related in blood, you’re still my brother. Even though I didn’t care much about you when I first met you in the sect, but with time, my opinion of you has changed. You’re a level-headed and calm person, and that is the reason why I wanted you to come to the Fang Clan and cultivate with me.”

“Oh?” Jun Xie asked, “Then, when were you planning to reveal the truth? Do the others also know of this?”

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, “In the whole world, you’re the only person who knows the truth. Even our fathers are unaware of my identity as Fang Chen, though they do know that I am in the Lower heavens.”

Jun Xie nodded, “That feels good to hear, but Crown Pr- I mean, Brother Ye… What about the Fang Clan? What if one day they hear the truth? What about Sect Leader Su and Madam Fang Bai? Fang Chen was their son, right? And you killed him. What will they do when they hear the truth?”

Ye Tian Yun sighed, “Jun Xie, parental love is the only love that is truly selfless, unconditional, and eternal. But one can’t roam in this world considering his enemy’s parent’s feelings. I can’t change the past, nor do I regret it. Killing Fang Chen was something which I would have never hesitated to do.”

Jun Xie stood up, “But still, what will you do if they ever know the truth?”

“I will fake Fang Chen’s death once I am done with my work in the capital. After that, Fang Chen will be officially dead,” Ye Tian Yun replied, “They will never know the truth… Unless you choose to tell them.”

“I am not a snitch,” Jun Xie replied, “But I don’t know if I will be able to stay with you any longer. You may be close with my father and have a huge backing… but I am unsure if I can stand by someone with morals like yours.”

Ye Tian Yun smiled, “There is no evil and no good. There is only power, and those who are weak seek it. You can choose to leave and go your own way; I won’t stop you.”

After a slight pause, Ye Tian Yun added, “And you don’t have to feel like you owe me something. The spatial ring belonged to you from the start. I can even tell you a bit more about your father, and you can go on your own journey to meet him.”

Jun Xie pursed his lips, “Two days ago you said Kai Yang gave you the information about King Xin; that was clearly a lie since you’re Kai Yang. And you never trusted any of your friends enough to reveal the truth.”

Ye Tian Yun also stood up from his seat, “Well, you can take it however you like. The first thing I cleared with you was that I am not interested in begging you to stay with me. You’re a grown-ass man, and you can make your own decisions. As for me, well, you will have to excuse me. The person I have been waiting for so long has finally arrived.”

Without waiting for any response, Ye Tian Yun stepped forward and headed in a certain direction.

Jun Xie followed the latter’s gaze and saw Princess Xin Xue Qing looking around as if searching for someone.
