"Just be alert and wait for my signal. A lot of things will happen in the secret mission, as long as you keep safe for the next two days, you will live."
Ye Tian Yun frowned as he heard Xiao Ming's words.
"What are you planning?" He couldn't help but narrow his eyes at him.
"I am not planning anything; it's just we both have sothing at stake. You have your life, while I also have sothing important."
"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun nodded his head but didn't inquire much.
He had a feeling this conversation would go nowhere.
"So it's a deal?" Xiao Ming asked, seeing Ye Tian Yun go silent.
Ye Tian Yun let out a smile and shrugged his shoulders, "Do I have any other options? It's a deal."
Xiao Ming nodded his head and slowly whispered, "If we both are successful in keeping what if ours, after this mission, our lives will change for the better."
Ye Tian Yun stared at him for so ti but didn't say anything else.
*tap* *tap* *tap*
Turning their heads, they soon found an elder heading towards them. He was coming from the direction in which Yuan Shcuhun headed to.
"Follow , both of you." The Elder ca closer to them and turned while saying this.
Ye Tian Yun and Xiao Ming nodded their heads and followed behind.
Ye Tian Yun had a hunch where they were going - to the Grand eting Hall, at the top of the First Peak.
And it turned out to be true.
Soon the three of them were climbing up through a stairway, and by now, even Xiao Ming was able to guess where they were most probably heading to.
"We're here." The Elder said as he pushed open the gates once they reached the end of the stairway.
The Elder stayed behind while Ye Tian Yun and Xiao Ming passed through the door.
As soon as they entered, the first person they noticed was none other than Yuan Shuchun.
She turned her head towards them and gave them a nod.
Xiao Ming moved towards her and stood close to her, Ye Tian Yun following suit.
In all this interaction, be it present or the future, Ye Tian Yun didn't wish to be the center of attention and keep an as low profile as possible.
He wanted to strike at the right ti and was waiting for the right opportunity.
Being in disguise, he would be making a grave mistake if he tried to interact much with others; after all, he didn't know Shu Xian's character very well - except for him being an arrogant brat.
But he also didn't wish to take any risk at this stage. By chance, if any of the other mbers of the mission were to know that Shu Xian from before and were quite familiar with him, it would only bring him more trouble.
Keeping a low profile and not being the main character in this situation was the best option for him.
Talking about the other mbers on the mission, Ye Tian Yun was surprised that there was no one else in the eting Hall except for the three of them.
It was not that they were the only ones going for the mission; in fact, there were a few more Core disciples who would be part of the entourage.
While they were waiting for the arrival of the other mbers, Xiao Ming suddenly asked, "Senior Sister, do you know who else will be participating with us?"
Yuan Shcuhun nodded her head, "Yeah, you will know them soon."
"Why haven't they arrived yet? In fact, no one had arrived yet. Why did you bring us early?" Xiao Ming added.
"You will know the reason soon." Yuan Shuchun added.
Xiao Ming shrugged and didn't say anything else.
Ye Tian Yun however had a hunch that Yuan Shuchun was definitely preparing for sothing outrageous, or it was probably sothing very unexpected.
Just as Ye Tian Yun was trying to guess, the gates of the Grand eting Hall were pushed open.
When the three of them turned their heads, it turned out to be none other than Seventh Peak Master Duan.
Ye Tian Yun wasn't much surprised to see him, considering his close relationship with Sect Leader Su Ming.
However, he suddenly felt sothing was off - especially between the exchange that happened between Yuan Shuchun and Peak Master Duan.
It was for a split second.
And they didn't even exchange amy words.
Only expressions.
However, that was enough to fire off the alarm bells in Ye Tian Yun's head.
He had a very strong hunch that sothing was wrong.
Sothing was definitely wrong.
Maybe he was missing sothing, but that sudden exchange between Yuan Shuchun and Peak Master Duan was certainly off.
He didn't wrap his mind around it - Yuan Shuchun and Peak Master Duan were in totally two different factions and should be hating each other.
Why were their expressions so amiable?
"Greeting, Peak Master Duan," Ye Tian Yun's thoughts didn't last long before he was interrupted by Xiao Ming's greeting.
Surprisingly, Yuan Shuchun only nodded her head at Peak Master.
This confused Ye Tian Yun even more.
He had a hunch of a relationship between Grand Elder Xuan and Yuan Shuchun; however, there was no indication of anything between Yuan Shuchun and Peak Master Duan in the reports. Though, by now, Ye Tian Yun has learned not to solely depend on the reports. They tended to be wrong at the important parts.
And Yuan Shcuhun's response confird that he wasn't thinking too much, and there really was sothing that he had really missed to notice.
'Yuan Shuchun would even greet Grand Elder with respect when in public; why didn't she greet Peak Master Duan? It can't be overthinking because I know Yuan Shuchun's character. She won't make such simple mistakes and would always appear on the good side of the story.'
'So what is going on here?'
Before Ye Tian Yun could contemplate more on this, soone suddenly pushed the doors of the hall once again.
This ti, the new entrant was actually a disciple who would be part of the secret mission along with them.
