Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"How long will it take Senior Brother Qin Wentian to return? I don\'t want to stay anymore in this shitty place."

"He will be back soon," One of the other two young men replied, "Do you really think he\'s interested in staying here for long?"

"Of course he\'s not, but why\'s he even interfering with things here? There was no need to go to this backwater sect." The first guy remarked.

The other two nodded their heads as one of them said, "Well, I do agree on this part. Staying here any longer just makes me feel sick. Not to forget that there was basically no need to be a good samaritan. After all, Senior Brother wasn\'t going to get any rewards from these poor peasants." 

As he finished, the last person who had been silent all this time opened his mouth and said, "Both you are acting like arrogant young masters. I don\'t understand why the Sect sent you two with us."

"Dare to say this again!?" One of the earlier guys almost shouted as he stood up from his seat. The atmosphere at the table had taken a sudden turn.

The third guy rolled his eyes when he saw the two in front of him get infuriated over his words, "I can say this a hundred times - both of you are just a fucking burden. But even then, you\'re still a part of the Heaven Oracle Sect, so let me give you a little warning - Don\'t bitch about Senior Brother Qin\'s decision. He can do whatever he wants. You don\'t get to question his decisions. Just finish your meal and get the hell out of here."

Just as the other two were about to snarl at him, the tavern\'s gates were pushed open.

Everyone\'s head turned towards the gate. A young man entered the hall.

The three at the table stood up and simultaneously greeted, "Welcome back, Senior Brother Qin."

"Hmm," Qin Wentian nodded his head and said, "You three stay here," And then he looked at the tavern owner who was standing motionless behind the desk and said, "And you, get out of this building, and take your people with you. Don\'t let anyone get close to within fifty meters of this building."

"Yes, Master." The tavern owner hurriedly shouted at the servants, "Didn\'t you hear the Master\'s command? Get out of here!"

After a few minutes, only the three young men and Qin Wentian remained in the building.

The three of them had cleaned themselves and the table by then. As Qin Wentian came close to it, he took out a piece of paper from his spatial ring and put it on the table.

This was the same thing on which Qin Wentian had scribbled something at the site of Kang Bai\'s death.

The other three stared at the paper with confusion, and one of them asked, "Senior Brother, what happened? What\'s making you so restless?"

Qin Wentiam let out a deep breath and said, "You will know soon. First, bring me the communication talismans."

Soon five black orb-like things were placed on the table in some kind of formation.

Qin Wentian took out some high-tier Qi stones and began to arrange a mini array.

It didn\'t take long for the table to lit up as the array had been successfully set up, and after a few minutes, a bust of an elder began to materialize like a projection above the black orbs.

"What happened, Tian\'er?" An old voice rang throughout the hall. 

"Greetings, Master." As Qin Wentian greeted the old man\'s projection, the other three disciples immediately kneeled on the floor.

"Hmm, tell me what\'s so urgent? Did something go wrong in your mission?" 

"No, Master. The mission was quite successful. However, the incident that happened while heading back is what made me disturb your cultivation."

"Oh? Tell me everything." The old man spoke; this time his tone was laced with intrigue.

Qin Wentian nodded his head and said, "Master, yesterday while we were heading back to the Middle Heavens after finishing the mission, I suddenly received a simple request from an old friend."

"He told me that the young master of his clan met an untimely death during an exam at a sect. The sect was claiming that the death of that youngster was due to coincidence, and there was no human involvement. My friend wanted my help in verifying this claim. Thus, we detoured a little bit and came here to this sect to inspect."

"About an hour ago, I went to that sect to assess the situation. I was told that this youngster had lost his life while trying to stop a high-tier spirit beast. However, this story seemed too good to be true. It even made me suspicious towards the Sect."

"Later, I noticed that there had been few changes in the array system which was placed to entrap the high-tier spirit beasts - clearly, someone had messed up with the array mechanism. My suspicions were turning out to be true, but to confirm one last time, I asked the Sect Leader to take me to the location where the incident had taken place."

"After we reached the site, to my surprise and shock, I found something that just shouldn\'t be possible to exist in this place. It made me so shocked that I almost lost my cool. My mind became distracted. I closed the case in a hurry and came back here straight to summon you as soon as I can."

"Oh? What was it that you found?" The old man frowned. 

Qin Wentian took a deep breath and said something which shocked everyone present at the scene, "Master, I have found traces of Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun!"
