"What do you mean by that, Disciple Fang?" n Head Zheng Yuan was quite offended.


    Ye Tian Yun replied, "You heard it right. To be honest, this mission might leave the whole city bathed in blood."


    "Hm?" n Head Zheng''s expression turned serious, "Disciple Fang, I hope you''re not joking."


    "I am not," Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "I have been sent early to make a few arrangements for the disciples arriving in the Silver Mist City."


    "Oh! When will the rest of the disciples arrive?"


    "Hmm, they will arrive anytime now. Just look out for two carriages with Fu n banners."


    "Fu n? The capital city''s Fu n?" Zheng Yuan frowned.


    Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Indeed. That Fu n."


    n Head Zheng Yuan asked, "Then what is going on, Disciple Fang? Please exin it to me thoroughly."


    Ye Tian Yun smiled and began to exin to him.


    "n Head Zheng Yuan, the situation is now prettyplicated."


    "At first, there was only going to be just us and our target. However, now it seems as if there are a few more parties gathered here."


    "They are waiting for us to strike first, and then they will reap all the benefits."


    "And this is where your nes into the picture: The Zheng n is where the Crown Prince has told us to stay, but considering the current situation, the Zheng n will be a battlefield if we choose to stay here."


    "Therefore, everyone had collectively decided not to associate with the Zheng n."


    Seeing the paling face of n Head Zheng, Ye Tian Yun added, "At least not yet."


    "We have decided that we will stay in a tavern."


    "Now, n Head Zheng, if you can arrange a good tavern for the Gracious Sword Sect, it would be a great help."


    n Head Zheng''s face rxed; they hadn''t fully lost the chance to be close friends with the Gracious Sword Sect.


    "As you say, Disciple Fang."


    Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and added, "Now, n Head Zheng, there is onest thing I want to add."


    "Yes?"


    Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips and nced once at the guard standing near the door.


    n Head Zheng immediately understood the implication, and stood up, and shouted, "Everyone, get fifty steps away from this ce. No one is allowed to enter this area unless I take back this order!"


    "Yes, n Head!"


    n Head slightly nodded his head and turned towards Ye Tian Yun; he asked, "What is it, Disciple Fang?"


    Ye Tian Yun leaned forward and began to whisper.


    "n Head, I hope you understand the importance of this situation and hide all the young ones by putting a lockdown within the n."


    "You can even alert the allied ns about this, but don''t reveal anything rted to the sect mission."


    "Now, the reason why I have made you send away the guards are because I want to tell you, and you alone, that the escape route of the disciples will be through your area."


    n Head frowned, "That''s no big deal. I would have objected if the escape route was through somewhere else."


    Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "I know, but I doubt if you will say the same when you listen to what I am about to say next."


    "Actually, n Head Zheng, there''s another ally within the city, and he''s working for the Gracious Sword Sect alone."


    "Hm? What do you mean, Disciple Fang? Aren''t we also working for the Gracious Sword Sect?" n Head Zheng asked in confusion.


    Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "There''s a difference. Also, Crown Prince Xin himself is involved with you. However, for this n, there''s only the Gracious Sword sect."


    "Which n is it?"


    Ye Tian Yun cleared his throat and whispered, "Jia Lei n."


    "What!?" n Head Zheng Yuan was shocked.


    "Since when did they have connections with the Gracious Sword Sect?" He was confused about this.


    Jia Lei n had never shown any signs of affiliation to any powerful sect. They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and stood alone.


    ''To think they are backed by Gracious Sword Sect… that bastard Jia Lei Shan hit it well.''


    n Head Zheng inwardly snickered, but then he suddenly remembered an important thing.


    ''Wouldn''t that mean we will have to be allies!? Impossible!''


    He looked at Ye Tian Yun, who just shrugged and gave him a wry smile.


    After a long thought, he let out a sigh and said, "Alright, Disciple Fang."


    "But tell me, what is Jia Lei n''s role in this mission?"


    Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Ah, don''t worry about that. Jie Lei n''s contribution is insignificant whenpared to yours. The only thing they''ll help with will be during the escape of the disciples. Even then, since we will be escaping through your area, the credit will go to you."


    "Oh," Zheng Yuan felt a bit relieved.


    Ye Tian Yun smiled and stood up, "n Head Zheng, I will leave now. But keep in mind that you must not reveal this to anyone. Not even the Jia Lei n, or else they might hesitate and not give their best - in the end,promising the whole mission."


    "n Head Zheng, I hope you have understood my words, and also the fact that while you will get immense benefits after this event, you will also create a big trouble for yourself if this mission fails."


    n Head Zheng raised his hands, "Disciple Fang, we have already talked about this to the Crown Prince."


    "The Zheng n will give it''s all. If the mission fails due to the error of the Zheng n, I will present him my head. However, if it fails due to someone else''s mistake, the Zheng n shall not bear the brunt."


    Ye Tian Yun smiled, "Well, that''s a good choice then. I hope Zheng n is ready for the next few days."


    "We are."


    "Alright then," Ye Tian Yun said, "Please prepare the tavern for the Gracious Sword Sect disciples and tell the guards that they will arrive in two Fu n carriages."


    "I will."


    After a few minutes, as Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Yuan were heading towards the exit, n Head Zheng Yuan suddenly asked, "Disciple Fang, do you know my son is also part of the Gracious Sword Sect? His name is Zheng Xiang. Have you two ever met?"


    Ye Tian Yun smiled slightly when he heard those words.
