Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents Chapter 128 - 17: The Hidden Enchantress, Brahma Sect Discip

Si Nan still started explaining.

"Nanmu City is the wealthiest city in Great Qian except for the Dynasty, and it’s also called the granary of Great Qian."

"So that’s how it is!"

Listening to the explanation.

Shi Sheng nodded, looking suddenly enlightened.

"So this Nanmu City is loaded, right?"

"Uh! That’s true!"

Although it felt like sothing was off, Si Nan froze for a mont but still nodded; that was basically the idea.

Nanmu City really is rich.

Quite a few Embroidered Uniform Guards like to take cases heading to Nanmu City.

No other reason.

It’s just because being rich ans there’s plenty of grease, and you can rake in so nice stuff.

So when Si Nan found out the case this ti was in Nanmu City, he was honestly pretty pleased.

But—

"Sir, according to the file, Nanmu City has had a bunch of won go missing for no reason lately. For a case like this, it shouldn’t be reported up to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, right? Nanmu City has its own yan, shouldn’t they be able to handle it?"

If it’s just disappearances, it’s probably not that big a deal.

Nanmu City itself has a yan and constables, just gather people and go look—problem solved, right?

Si Nan asked this with genuine doubt.

Ye Liuyun didn’t find it odd.

When Ye Liuyun first read the report, he was curious too, so he looked into it especially.

"It’s simple. People in Nanmu City suspect this has sothing to do with the Demon Sect. Snatching those won is supposedly for so kind of demon skill cultivation."

"So far, the missing won are either young beautiful ladies from wealthy families, or famous beauties that everyone knows."

If it was just for murdering, it should be random.

But these missing won all share a trait—they’re all extrely pretty.

Nanmu City’s people can handle regular bandits or vagabonds with no problem.

But if it’s really Demon Sect disciples, they’re not a match at all.

"So that’s how it is!"

Si Nan nodded in total understanding.

The Demon Sect isn’t just one sect—any demon school in the world counts as part of the Demon Sect.

These people are nasty and ruthless.

And if you ss with one demon sect, it could provoke revenge from others.

No wonder the people of Nanmu City had no choice but to seek help from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"So the enemy this ti is Demon Sect disciples, right?"

Unlike Si Nan,

Shi Sheng’s eyes actually lit up at that news.

He clenched his fists.

Looking ready to throw down at any mont.

"Just be careful, don’t end up face down in the gutter!"

Seeing Shi Sheng’s hothead look, Si Nan was speechless for a while but still decided to warn him.

Honestly worried Shi Sheng would lose his head and rush in without thinking.

Demon Sect disciples don’t care about Jianghu etiquette—their dirty tricks just get nastier each ti.

"Relax!"

Shi Sheng grinned wide, totally unconcerned, and waved his hand.

"I’m not stupid. Sir’s with us, I’ll just stick by him!"

He might look impulsive, but he’s not actually just all brawn with no brain.

"... ... ..."

That’s a hard argunt to refute—even Si Nan was at a loss for words.

He withdrew his gaze, and naturally looked toward Ye Liuyun.

"Sir?"

But noticing Ye Liuyun was turned toward so direction, staring intently, Si Nan called him out curiously.

Si Nan looked where Ye Liuyun was staring and saw nothing.

"Nothing."

Ye Liuyun just shook his head simply and withdrew his gaze.

He didn’t intend to explain.

He spoke directly.

"Nanmu City isn’t far from the Imperial City, we should get there by tonight. Let everyone pick up the pace!"

Nanmu City isn’t so backwater, so you don’t need to travel for days and nights to get there.

"Got it!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s orders, Si Nan didn’t say much—he just nodded seriously.

Then turned to pass instructions to the n under him.

... ... ...

"Sharp senses, huh?"

As Ye Liuyun’s group pushed on,

not far away, in the direction Ye Liuyun had just been watching, a feminine shadow stepped out from behind a tree.

Her bright eyes gazed after Ye Liuyun, full of interest.

From so far, he could actually sense soone watching him.

The woman’s face was breathtaking.

Ye Liuyun had only sensed soone watching him from the shadows—he hadn’t noticed exactly who. And since that gaze didn’t have any killing intent, Ye Liuyun just didn’t bother with it.

If he got a little closer,

Ye Liuyun would have discovered this person watching him was the Illusion Sound Sect witch, Shu Fan—the very sa one he’d escorted to the Celestial Prison a while back, and who’d then been "released" that very sa night.

After leaving the Imperial City,

Shu Fan had always wanted to find a chance to see Ye Liuyun again.

Although their previous encounters couldn’t be called pleasant, Shu Fan was just particularly curious about Ye Liuyun.

Wanting to figure out what kind of man he really was.

But unfortunately,

Because of so things, Shu Fan’s schedule got delayed.

The next mont,

She was still staring off at Ye Liuyun’s departing group, but as if she sensed sothing, her delicate brows imdiately pinched together.

"These damn Brahma Sect bastards are really like glue—how long are you gonna chase !"

She hadn’t even done anything lately, so why’d they suddenly start hunting her?

"I’m dying to see what you’re hiding that nobody’s allowed to see."

Shu Fan could sense these Brahma Sect disciples seed to be intentionally driving people away from Nanmu City’s territory.

Thinking of the way Ye Liuyun and the others just went,

Shu Fan grew even more curious. With a few quick leaps, her figure swiftly vanished from sight.
