"Fang Chen… you did not threaten them to break off the marriage, right?... right?" Prime Minister Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Ahem," Ye Tian Yun cleared his throat, "Well, it was not a reckless decision."

"You…" Prime Minister Fang Yuan stood up from his seat and stared at him with his eyes wide open.

Ye Tian Yun didn\'t back down and stared back calmly. At least from the outside, this was the case.

"Fang. Chen. Do.. You. Know. What. Have. You. Done?" Prime Minister Fang\'s breathing quickened as he stressed each word.

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "As I said, this was not a reckless decision. The Thunder Valley is important to me, and I cannot compromise with that."

Prime Minister Fang Yuan shook his head, "The Gao Clan will never agree on handing over the Thunder Valley. What Gao Kang told you is only half true. Do you really think the Gao Clan will be so petty as not to give a small valley as dowry?"

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "What\'s in the Thunder Valley?" 

"It\'s their ancestral land," Madam Fang replied, "Right?" She asked Prime Minister Fang for confirmation.

"Hmm," Prime Minister Fang pursed his lips and said, "Well, I was not planning to tell you this, but since your mother has already laid out the facts, I will confirm that it\'s the truth. The Thunder Valley is very important to the Gao Clan because the place is their ancestral land. If you visit now, you will still see the ruins of Gao Village."

"What…." Ye Tian Yun frowned.

He was unaware of such a thing. 

\'Then how did Wang Yao get his hands on the Thunder Valley? There is no way anyone would allow a stranger to take over his ancestral land.\'

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and said, "I cannot give up on the Thunder Valley. It\'s a must for me."

Madam Fang frowned, "Son, what are you saying? No one will give their ancestral land, no matter what condition you put."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head.

The only way for him to get hands-on with the next target was getting that Thunder Valley. 

The enemy was in the Wu Kingdom\'s army, which will march from the Northern Border, and the only point where they could be held back was the Thunder Valley.

Ye Tian Yun must become the owner of the Thunder Valley.

\'Should I talk to Gao Xuan?\'

A thought flashed in Ye Tian Yun\'s mind, but he rejected it.

He had noticed the reaction Clan Head Gao had when he saw Gao Xuan in the Guest Hall.

\'That reaction too… from what I know, Gao Xuan was doted on by everyone in the family. Why was he treated like an outsider today?\'

It was quite confusing for him, but this wasn\'t the right time to think about it.

"Why do you need the Thunder Valley?" Prime Minister Fang Yuan asked, "Give me a valid answer."

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "I will go and live there."

"What?"

Everyone in the room turned their heads at him.

"Why would you live there!?" 

Madam Fang was the first to react, "Why do you want to leave such a good place and live in the wild?"

Everyone waited for his answer.

Ye Tian YUn shrugged, "I have my own plans. This time, I just want everyone here to trust me. There are a lot of things I need to do, and Thunder Valley is very important for my plans."

Prime Minister Fang frowned, "Tell me your plans. I can\'t help you without knowing what you\'re up to. People in this room may trust you, but those at the Gao CLan do not."

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "I know. This is why I didn\'t waste much time on them. I have already told them what I want, and I will get it, by hook or by crook."

Prime Minister Fang narrowed his eyes, "Fang Chen, your words are not helping you here."

Then glancing at Fang Yunru, he asked, "Yun\'er, did you not try to stop him?"

Yun\'er lowered his gaze, "uncle, I was too shocked to react. Things happened too fast."

"Too fast?" Behind him, his father Fang Ji frowned, "This is not even a good excuse."

"Father, I-"

"Shut up!" Fang Ji frowned, "Do you know when everyone heard that Xiao Chen had left the clan, how panicked they were? The only thing that calmed us was the fact that you were with him. We put our faith in you that you won\'t let Xiao Chen act recklessly. And look what happened - you were too shocked to react!"

"But -"

"No buts," Fang Ji got even more, angered, and then glancing at Ye Tian Yun, he said, "Xiao Chen, how many more times are you planning to put the clan in a tight spot? Don\'t you know why we\'re doing all this? How could you take the matter of marriage so lightly?"

Ye Tian Yun exhaled, "I have no other choice. I don\'t plan to cause trouble, but if I have to do it to get to the Thunder Valley, then trust me, this is not my limit."

Fang Ji frowned and glanced at Prime Minister Fang.

Prime Minister Fang stared at Ye Tian Yun for a moment and said, "Tell me, Chen\'er, how far are you willing to go for this Thunder Valley."

Prime Minister Fang was trying to gauge the importance Thunder Valley had for Ye Tian Yun. The latter was not revealing any plans, so he wanted to gauge how serious he was about his \'plans\'.

Ye Tian Yun had already seen through his intentions.

With a smile, he said, "If I fail to get the Valley from the Fang Clan\'s support, I will have to look for someone who can help me."

"And that someone is…?" Prime Minister Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "There are few in the Royal Palace. Like, the Crown Prince...."

"Fang Chen!" Fang Ji couldn\'t hold back this time, "Do you know what you\'re saying!?"
