"What!?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised upon hearing Butler Liu''s words.


    "Yes," Butler Liu said, "It was because of the Great Ling n, those guys leaked the news."


    Ye Tian Yun frowned.


    This is not how things transpired in his previous life.


    The Great Ling n never told a soul about the engagement because to the public, the Great Ling n and the Great Ye n were big enemies.


    This was also the reason why it was easier to change the bride to Ling Qing''er after Ling Feng''er''s death.


    ''Why did they leak the news now?''


    "What are your thoughts on this, Crown Prince?" Butler Liu asked, "Personally, I am a bit dissatisfied with the Lings."


    Ye Tian Yun thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure about this, Butler Liu? I don''t think Ling n would leak such an important matter..."


    Butler Liu clenched his teeth, "I trusted them on this too but looks like we overestimated them."


    He sneered and, "Crown Prince, they just wanted to preserve Miss Ling Qing''er''s reputation by throwing out your name. Now because of the leaked news, they have left no way to step back for the Great Ye n."


    Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes, "I can see. Looks like our n had gotten toox on these people."


    Butler Liu slowly nodded his head.


    "By the way…. What was Father''s reaction?" Ye Tian Yun couldn''t help but ask.


    "Of course, he was furious," Butler Liu replied as a matter of fact, "Let me tell you in short what actually transpired."


    "It all began when we first returned from the Lower Heavens with Miss Ling Qing''er. Almost everyone in the Imperial City had witnessed our arrival, and everyone was curious."


    "And after about half an hour, the n Head of the Great Ling n, Heavenly King Ling, and his wife came to the Imperial Pce."


    "Many soon joined the two cases and concluded that the mysterious girl with the Crown Prince was most probably the mysterious Second Miss of the Great Ling n."


    "However, the main question of the hour was - Why was she with the Crown Prince? What rtionship do they have? Why did the Crown Prince himself personally go to bring her back?"


    "And we all know people have some wild fantasies. This was why there were rumors starting to flood the Imperial City about your and Second Miss Ling''s rtionship."


    Ye Tian Yun nodded.


    This didn''t happen in his previous life.


    In his previous life, the three of them didn''te to the Imperial Pce, instead directly went to the Great Ling n.


    Butler Liu continued to add, "The Great Ling n were facing trouble. They didn''t wish to see this since Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun would be engaged with the First Miss rather than the Second Miss. Therefore, they leaked the news about the Engagement, shocking the already chaotic Imperial City. And then, the news spread like wildfire. People didn''t even doubt this since it wasing personally from the Lings and also because you had brought the Second Miss to the Middle Heavens. This had instead helped the people in believing the Ling n''s words."


    Ye Tian Yun nodded.


    Butler Liu, however, wasn''t done yet.


    "Crown Prince, but do you know that this was actually a trap by the Ling n!? Your engagement is not yet finalized, but because they had leaked the news, the Great Ye n will have no other choice but toply, or else it might sully your reputation."


    Ye Tian Yun smirked but didn''t say anything.


    ''Great Ling n.... what are they nning?''


    ''They better not n something funny... or they will end up digging their own graves.''


    ''If only my Token Of Fate was working-''


    Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun noticed one thing.


    There was a prompt above Butler Liu''s head!


    As soon as Ye Tian Yun''s eyesnded on it, he was able to understand it.


    [Liu Lei. 5 Star Favourability. Will never betray you and only wishes the best for you. Because he had no other choice but to be away from his family, he has spent many years with you and treats you like a son.]


    Ye Tian Yun was surprised by this prompt.


    ''When did thise? This is more detailed than any I have ever seen….''


    Previously, in the Lower Heavens, all the prompts were just one-line statements without much detail.


    And now that they were back, the details had also increased.


    ''Butler Liu''s family…''


    The only person that Ye Tian Yun knew that was rted to Butler Liu was Jun Xie. He never asked or heard about Butler Liu''s wife…


    "Butler Liu, if you don''t mind, can I ask you something?" Ye Tian Yun asked.


    "Yes, Crown Prince?"


    "Do… no, what… ahem, I mean, where is your wife?" Ye Tian Yun asked after carefully deciding the question.


    Butler Liu''s expression faltered for a moment and then instantly reverted back to normal.


    "Crown Prince," He pursed his lips and said, "Not that I want to hide anything from you, but it''s better to remain ignorant about some things."


    Ye Tian Yun frowned but didn''t pursue the topic anymore.


    Wang Yao had also once said something along the lines of being ignorant is good.


    Ye Tian Yun changed the topic and asked, "What else happened, anything of major significance?"


    Butler Liu nodded, "Yeah, a few more things. Most important of them was that the Heavenly Oracle Sect has a new Head Elder."


    "What!?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised upon hearing this.


    There had not been any new Head Elder of the Heavenly Oracle Sect in his previous life!


    ''How did this happen?''


    Because Ye Tian Yun knew that this sect was a hidden enemy, he had decided to put extra attention on it.


    And now, the first news that he heard about it was something that never happened in his previous life!


    "Who is the new Head Elder?" Ye Tian Yun asked.


    Butler Liu replied, "The previous Third Grand Elder, Jia Rong."


    Him!?


    Wasn''t he Qin Wentian''s Master?
