"Zheng Xiang."


    "Yes, Brother Fang?"


    "Um… cultivate well."


    To reveal his identity.


    It was an absurd thought—a truly absurd one.


    And Ye Tian Yun chose not to follow it.


    Under normal circumstances, his identity and background would have awed anyone, but in the current situation, it was his biggest weakness.


    And with all he had been through, trusting someone enough to tell him his biggest weakness was not easy for Ye Tian Yun.


    ''It''s not about how much they trust; it''s about how much I trust them.''


    "I will take my leave." Zheng Xiang smiled and headed back to the main room.


    As he left, a thought shed in Ye Tian Yun''s mind.


    ''I should get individual rooms for everyone. These people won''t have privacy during cultivation in the current situation.''


    Leaving his room, he called out a nearby guard and told the butler to prepare two more rooms for the guests and arrange maids and servants for that courtyard.


    All five of them would have food in the courtyard from now on.


    ''This will help increase familiarity between Jun Xia and Zheng Xiang. And I also won''t have to eat with the Fang couple.''


    No matter how normal the current situation seemed, YeTian Yun never forgot that he was in someone else''s disguise.


    He had personally slit the throat of this ''someone''.


    ''I shouldn''t get myself too close with the Fang n.''


    He reminded himself once again.


    Taking a deep breath, he returned to his room, and then closing the door, he sat cross-legged on the bed.


    ''Time to cultivate. I need to reach the Second Level of Core Formation by the end of this month.''


    Closing his eyes, Ye Tian Yun appeared in the cultivation space and began to cultivate.


    …


    Study Hall, Ling n.


    Ling n is one of the Big Four ns of the Capital City and is the third most powerful n in the whole Xin Kingdom after the Xin Royal n and the Fang n.


    Headed by Ling Xiaochun, the n was also the branch n of the Great Ling n from the Middle Heavens.


    Although this was not a well-known fact, the higher-ups of the Xin Kingdom knew about it.


    This acted as a warning and a buff for the Ling n. Also was one of the reasons why the Xin Royal n never antagonized the Ling n too much.


    However, today someone arrived, whom even the n Head Ling Xiaochun respected.


    It was a guest with the Token of the Great Ling n.


    He was near the age of his son, but the aura around him contained grace, and his demeanor was an altogether different story.


    "I hope you don''t mind this, Young Master. But may I know your rtionship with the Main Branch?"


    n Head Ling Xiaochen asked.


    He was a level-headed person and never acted recklessly.


    Even with the backing of the Great Ling n, he never let himself be conceited and arrogant.


    "I am Feng Yun." The young man in front of him said, "And the token in your hand is not a normal token."


    "Hm?" n Head Ling Xiaochun frowned and now began to inspect it carefully.


    After a few minutes, a light exmation escaped from his mouth as he raised his head towards Fang Yun in surprise.


    "This… this is Token by the n Head."


    "Indeed." Feng Yun nodded, "Heavenly King Ling personally gave me this."


    "I believe you." n Head Ling didn''t need any more proof.


    Anyone with this token was an utmost exalted guest for the Ling n. And he was sure that this was a real token, not a counterfeit.


    ''And only the n Head of the Main Branch can give out these tokens. This Young Man must have a powerful background. At least on an equal footing with our n.''


    "How can I help you, Young Master Feng?" He humbly asked.


    Feng Yun waved his hands and replied with a smile, "n Head Ling, you don''t have to be humble yourself. Consider me as a junior of your n. I will be troubling you for the next few months."


    n Head Ling Xiaochun smiled, "It''s no problem, our Ling n has enough space for Young Master Feng. I will arrange things right away."


    "Thank you."


    Just then, faint footsteps were heard, indicating someone''s iing arrival.


    "Father, may I enter?"


    A calm voice called out from outside. It appeared to belong to a young man.


    "Ah, Yun''er,e." n Head Ling Xiaochun called the person in.


    A young man pushed open the gates, and the first thing he noticed was an unknown young man standing beside his father.


    "Oh, you have guests." He was taken aback.


    ''I didn''t even sense this guy…''


    "This is Young Master Feng Yun," n Head Ling Xiaochun introduced the unknown guest, "He will be staying in our n for the next few months. He''s an important guest, and I want you to take care of him."


    The young man nodded, "Yes, Father."


    n Head Ling smiled and then nced at Feng Yun; he said, "Young Master Feng, this is my eldest son, Ling Yun. If you face any trouble, you can contact him. Your room will also be near his courtyard, so you can also practice together if you get time."


    Feng Yun nodded and then, staring at the young man in front of him, he let out a smile while cupping his fists, "Brother Ling Yun, I will be in your care."


    "Brother Feng Yun." Ling Yun cupped his fists.


    n Head Ling Xiaochun asked, "What happened, Son? Do you have something important to tell?"


    Ling Yun nodded his head, "Father, I was just here for the resources that I asked for. Were you able to arrange them?"


    "Ah, yes," n Head Ling nodded, and then taking out a pouch from his spatial ring, he handed it over to Ling Yun, "These are the ones you asked."


    "Yes, finally!" Ling Yun exhaled.


    "Brother Ling Yun is an alchemist?" Feng Yun asked out of curiosity.


    Ling Yun shook his head, "No, I am more of an array guy."


    "Ah, arrays," Feng Yun nodded, "What Rank of Array Master are you?"


    "Peak Second Rank." Ling Yun smiled.


    "Ah," Feng Yun nodded, "You still have a long way to go. Since I will be troubling you for the next few months, how about I help you with arrays? I am also quite knowledgeable when ites to this subject."


    "Really?" Ling Yun raised his eyes in surprise, "What''s your rank?"


    Feng Yun shrugged, "It''s a bit high. I will tell you if you can reach within the range of about two ranks of my rank."


    "Range of about two ranks of your rank?" Ling Yun frowned.


    After a moment, a shocked expression formed on his face, "Are you a Fifth Rank Array Master!?"


    Feng Yun smiled but didn''t say anything.


    "Impossible!" Ling Yun felt it was too absurd.


    Even though Arrays were not as hard as Alchemy, it wasn''t easy for someone his age to reach the Fifth Rank.


    In fact, the most powerful Array Master in the Lower Heavens was at the Peak Fourth Rank!


    And Feng Yun was iming to be even more powerful than that person!?


    This was too absurd.
