Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents Chapter 308 - 77: Meet Force with Force, Meet Water with Ear

Ye Liuyun could understand, after all.

After all, he was the sa kind of person. But, if their positions were swapped, Ye Liuyun couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t start a war between two dynasties for his own desires.

But if you think about it carefully—

If I were a Grandmaster, would I still be here putting up with this crap?

If they don’t want here, there are plenty of other places for to go.

As a Grandmaster, with such a vast world, where couldn’t I go?

When it cos down to it, this Fu Zhengqing is just too cowardly. Useless. Getting old and scared of everything. That Grandmaster’s cultivation, what a waste on him.

"They all call a Demon Sect witch, but these people who look all righteous—what they do is even more demonic than the Demon Sect itself!"

Shu Fan couldn’t help blurting out.

At least I wouldn’t start a war between two dynasties for so selfish motive, dragging so many people into the conflict.

"So what do we do now?"

Shu Fan turned to look at Ye Liuyun.

Now that they’d figured out Fu Zhengqing’s goal, Ye Liuyun definitely wouldn’t just stand by and watch him pull this off, right?

Ye Liuyun tapped his finger lightly on the table.

After thinking for a bit, he finally smiled and said,

"We don’t need to do anything."

"Do nothing at all?"

Shu Fan was a bit surprised.

"Right now, all we know is Fu Zhengqing’s motive; we still don’t know exactly what he’ll do. Let’s just wait and see—deal with changes by staying unchanged."

If the troops co, we block them; if the water rises, we build a dam.

However—

Ye Liuyun wasn’t the type to sit back and let himself be bullied.

So—

He was already hatching plans in his heart. In the next couple of days, maybe he should find so trouble for Fu Zhengqing to keep him busy.

No particular reason, just to ss with Fu Zhengqing a bit. Annoy him, that’s all.

"Alright then!"

Shu Fan and Ye Qinzhen might not have known what Ye Liuyun was really thinking, but they still chose to trust him.

They nodded, then didn’t dwell on it any longer.

That night—

Ye Qinzhen was still relatively reserved. Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to return to the inn.

Only—

When she was about to leave, Ye Qinzhen noticed that her senior sister Shu Fan didn’t look like she had any intention of leaving at all.

"Senior Sister?"

Ye Qinzhen looked over in confusion.

"Ahem!"

Shu Fan, realizing what was happening,

waved her hand in front of Ye Qinzhen’s gaze and said directly,

"You go ahead. I’ve got sothing to do. If Master asks, help cover for , will you?"

"..."

Ye Qinzhen didn’t say anything.

She glanced at Shu Fan, then at Ye Liuyun, finally nodding knowingly.

"Got it!"

With that, she turned and left.

Once Ye Qinzhen was gone, Shu Fan turned her gaze to Ye Liuyun, her tone a little teasing as she spoke:

"Who’d have thought, the girl you ransod from the Imperial Music Bureau would end up as your sweetheart!"

It wasn’t jealousy, just so friendly ribbing.

"What’s that, jealous?"

Ye Liuyun, not afraid of anything, shot right back.

"Tch, I’m just worried by then you’ll have the heart, but not the strength."

"???"

Well damn, provoking like this?

Ye Liuyun was shocked.

"Well then, I’ll have to show you whether I’m up to it or not!"

With that, he scooped Shu Fan up and carried her into the room.

...

The next day—

Ye Liuyun didn’t go to the morning court assembly.

Every day, having to drag yourself awake for morning court? Even cattle and horses get to sleep in longer than that.

So Ye Liuyun simply excused himself, saying he had a case to work on, and took a few days off.

By the ti he’d finished breakfast and left the residence, it was already bright outside.

"Isn’t this the perfect ti to start work? I really don’t get why they have morning court so early!"

Because more people were out and about, the shops and peddlers lining the streets were also far more than usual.

But when Ye Liuyun approached, his official robe made the once-crowded street open up a path, everyone quieting down until he passed by.

Once Ye Liuyun was gone, the street returned to its usual hustle and bustle.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard’s fierce reputation preceded them—especially among the common folk. No one even dared to talk loudly when one was near.

This sort of situation—

Ye Liuyun had experienced plenty by now, and was used to it.

Likewise, he had no intention of trying to change anything.

Cultivation, after all—

If it’s not all about getting strong and throwing your weight around, then what’s the point?

...

"Sir!"

When Ye Liuyun got to the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters, Si Nan and the others were already there.

Shi Sheng and Jiang Jing were training, and although Si Nan was also "training," his lazy and limp posture looked more like he’d had his essence sucked out by a demon or sothing.

"What happened, did so female demon drain you dry last night or sothing?"

Seeing Si Nan like that, Ye Liuyun burst out laughing and teased him.

Si Nan, for his part, wasn’t the least bit embarrassed by the ribbing.

Instead, he grinned,

"Sir, you weren’t there last night, but the Imperial Music Bureau really did send a bunch of ’demon girls’ over. Their looks, their figures, tsk!"

By the end, Si Nan’s eyes were still savoring the mory.

"If you don’t believe , you can ask Jiang Jing!"

With that, Si Nan pointed to Jiang Jing—after all, they’d gone together last night.

Suddenly hearing his na,

Jiang Jing stopped practicing, turned around, and said,

"Yeah, they were indeed beautiful."

"..."

Seeing Jiang Jing’s dead-serious face, Ye Liuyun didn’t even know what to say.

Back when he’d served as a bodyguard for Prince Jin, Jiang Jing was such a rigid, serious guy.

But ever since he’d joined up here, it felt like he’d already gone bad.

No way this is my bad influence, right?

Hmm!

No, definitely not. Clearly, he’s been led astray by Si Nan!
