Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Ye Tian Yun just shrugged and tried to change the topic, "Well, nothing much, just about the Inner Court and the upcoming challenges by existing Inner Court disciples."

"Oh, yeah," Zheng Xiang nodded his head and continued, "Even I thought about this thing, but I think if we make use of the next three months well, maybe we will be able to fend off some of those challenges from the older Inner Court disciples."

"Yes, the next three months will be disturbance-free, I will be able to focus on my cultivation." Ye Tian Yun nodded his head in agreement.

…

As they continued to discuss the upcoming months in the Inner Court, their turn soon came to get on the Chain Bridge to get to the Seventh Peak. This Chain Bridge was much bigger and spacious than the ones at the Second Peak. As it started to head towards the Seventh Peak, Zheng Xiang asked, "Brother Fang, talking about the months we have, do you remember what those Disciplinary Hall disciples said at the Second Peak?"

Ye Tian Yun had a slight frown on his forehead as he replied, "Are you referring to what they said about the upcoming month? I actually do have a guess or two regarding this matter."

"Oh?" Zheng Xiang continued, "Do tell then. I was confused about what they were referring to."

Ye Tian Yun nodded as he put out his thoughts, "My guess is that they were talking about the sect missions."

"Sect missions? Isn't this too early for that? We haven't even properly settled in the Inner Court, let alone cultivate here for some time. In fact, we are just Inner Court disciples in name, right now, our cultivation is equal to that of the Outer Court disciples. Most of the Inner Court disciples are already in the Qi Condensation Realm, while we haven't even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm."

Ye Tian Yun slightly nodded with his response, "I think the missions will be pretty easy and as per our cultivation; it will be absurd for the sect to send us on a sure death mission."

"Let's hope our sect doesn't have different plans" Zheng Xiang sighed while finishing his words.

As they approached the Seventh Peak, Zheng Xiang asked, "By the way Brother Fang, I was thinking, maybe we should go together to the Heaven's Grace banquet."

"Oh? So you really are coming, huh?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised at this, he then said, "Well, I don't have any problem. For now, I have something else to worry about."

"About what?"

"You need to show me the way to the Inner Court."

Zheng Xiang had a slight smile when he heard that, "Ha-ha, don't worry about that. Just follow me. We need to get to the Elder Hall at the southern side of the Peak where we will be assigned our cultivation abodes and then we will head to our abodes which will be inside the peak, and if my guess is correct, it should be somewhere in the middle area, not too low, not too high."

Ye Tian Yun stared at him, "Don't tell me this was also told at the Sect Entrance Exam?"

Zheng Xiang laughed as he denied, "Hehe, no, it was my cousin who told me about this when I left the Zheng Alliance building."

"Ah yes, you're not going back to the Zheng Alliance?"

"I am still undecided about this. On one hand, I don't even wish to interact with those arrogant jerks, while on the other I don't wish to disappoint my father."

"Hmm, in my opinion, you should follow what your heart desires and what will benefit you in cultivation. Think properly before you do anything, and be selfish in this situation."

"Yeah, I will think about this later."

…

Soon they had reached Seventh Peak. After getting down from the Chain Bridge, they headed towards the Elder Hall to know about their cultivation abodes.

The Elder Hall was a distinct building on the southern side of the Peak. It was the place where one will find the elders to talk about issues related to cultivation or even complain about disputes.

For instance, when Ye Tian Yun first arrived on the Seventh Peak and broke arms of Du Xiu, the outer court disciple who challenged him, it was this place where Du Xiu and his lackeys went to complain about their grievances and called Elder Mu to get 'justice' for Du Xiu and get back 'his' cultivation abode.

Even though for some unknown reason Elder Liu decided to side with Ye Tian Yun and silenced Du Xiu, the elders were usually impartial and fair.

The Elder Hall was a two-storey building and to get information about their cultivation abodes, the disciples didn't actually need to go inside and meet an elder, but instead, there was a large exquisite board outside this building that stated everything that Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang had come for. It was the ranking board of the Inner Court Entrance Hunt results.

On this board were the details regarding rank, score, and most importantly the new cultivation abode in the Inner Court which was designated to the new inner disciples based on their ranking in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt.

Ye Tian Yun looked at the first rank, and as expected, under his name were the details regarding his cultivation abode.

[Rank 1] [Fang Chen] [118 Beast Cores] [Abode 43, Level 6]

"So, my abode is number 43 on the fifth level, and yours is..." Ye Tian Yun read the third line which stated,

[Rank 3] [Zheng Xiang] [314 Beast Cores] [Abode 69, Level 7]

"...level 7?" Ye Tian Yun finished in a surprised tone and turned towards Zheng Xiang only to find him frowning at the Ranking Board.

After sometime Zheng Xiang sighed as he said, "Well, looks like I won't be as close to the base as I had expected. Level 7 is decent enough and the rest of the top ten disciples are also given an abode on the 7th Level and others from the top fifty are on the 8th level while the rest of them are on level 9. Brother Fang, you really have a good fortune, cultivating at level 6 will be really helpful."

Ye Tian Yun nodded and after a while, he asked, "So the older disciples will challenge us after three months, out of which, we won't be able to cultivate for this month. So that leaves us with only two months. Zheng Xiang, does this not make you nervous?"

Zheng Xiang pursed his lips and took his time in replying, "Brother Fang, it makes me nervous and excited at the same time. It's motivating me to cultivate hard in these two months. What about you, Brother Fang? Those challenges excite you too or are you nervous?"

"Haha, those challenges are the last thing I am worried about. For now, I am looking forward to heading to the banquet. The banquet will surely be very interesting and see for myself how good he really is. In fact, I am actually looking forward to this "

"He?" Zheng Xiang was confused about who Ye Tian Yun was referring to.
