Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents Chapter 459 - 128: The Imperial Music Bureau’s New Courtesan

"If you embarrass yourself later, don’t bla !"

This could count as a bit of pre-ga trash talk.

Si Nan and Shi Sheng threw lines at each other, one after the other.

Anyway, both of them were wearing that ’I refuse to admit defeat’ look. Honestly, with all this drama, even Ye Liuyun was starting to look forward to the match.

He couldn’t help but wonder, what kind of scene would it be when Si Nan and Shi Sheng really went at it?

Yeah!

This good show just had to be enjoyed up close.

But since they weren’t going to fight now, seeing Si Nan and Shi Sheng still itching to spit more trash talk, Ye Liuyun slamd the table and said,

"Alright, save the words for when the real fight starts. We’re here to have a good ti today."

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun say that,

Si Nan and Shi Sheng finally reined in their gazes and answered Ye Liuyun together.

Only then did things quiet down.

But you could still tell, Si Nan and Shi Sheng were both far from convinced by each other.

At that mont,

The lody downstairs suddenly changed, and Ye Liuyun noticed even the courtesan Ruo Xi who was originally playing the qin had switched out.

The new tune, compared to that gentle one from monts ago, was definitely more grand and majestic.

"Who’s that?"

Had it really been that long since he’d last co to the Imperial Music Bureau? When did such a gorgeous beauty appear, and how had he not noticed? Yeah, to avoid being left behind by the tis—

Places like this really do need frequent visits.

"Sir!"

Si Nan was clearly a seasoned regular at venues like this.

Noticing Ye Liuyun’s confusion, he imdiately explained,

"She just arrived at the Imperial Music Bureau recently. Sir, you haven’t seen her yet, so it’s normal. I heard she’s called i Ji. Though she hasn’t been here long, rumors say she’s likely to be the next Courtesan!"

"i Ji?"

Well, the na fits—the charm is real.

Draped in a red gauzy robe, compared to Ruo Xi’s always-white attire before, she was way more eye-catching for sure.

Her brows held that sly, foxy allure, her eyes seeming to contain so soul-hooking magic.

"Definitely charming enough!"

When the song ended, watching i Ji rise gracefully from her seat, Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but smile.

As if she sensed his gaze,

i Ji naturally lifted her head and looked directly at where Ye Liuyun was sitting.

Their eyes t perfectly. Instead of looking embarrassed, i Ji just curled her lips into a smile,

turned to leave without hesitation.

At this point, the crowd was still lively, so people shouting for i Ji to play again. So even whipped out their silver and flung it up onto the stage.

Too bad.

No matter how much money was thrown, i Ji didn’t give them a single glance.

"If sir likes her, I can arrange it right now."

Noticing that Ye Liuyun’s gaze lingered in i Ji’s departing direction, Si Nan chid in right away.

With Ye Liuyun’s power and status these days,

it would be easy to spend the night with any girl in the Imperial Music Bureau.

Never mind that i Ji wasn’t even the Courtesan yet—even if she was, there would be no way to refuse.

"No need!"

Ye Liuyun waved it off straight away, since he knew it was impossible anyway.

Think about it—a Martial Artist at the Innate stage, how could she be so easily manipulated? If she couldn’t win, she’d just run, wouldn’t she?

Exactly.

The only reason Ye Liuyun had been staring at this so-called i Ji just now had nothing to do with her beauty.

If he just wanted to ogle pretty girls,

there were plenty waiting at his own place! Worst case, he’d enjoy the view back ho.

He was simply in the habit of using his system’s ability to scan talent entries whenever he saw soone new. By chance, he discovered that this i Ji was actually an Innate Martial Artist!

"Target: i ngzhu.

Cultivation: Innate, mid-stage.

Talent Entries: Born With Allure (Purple), Concealing Breath (Purple), Seven-Orifice Exquisiteness (Blue),"

Two purples and a blue—not bad at all in terms of talent entries.

It must be this Concealing Breath ability that’s hiding her strength, so no one realizes her true cultivation.

i ngzhu was likely her real na. As for ’i Ji,’ that was clearly just a codena she used in the Imperial Music Bureau.

An Innate mid-stage Martial Artist hiding out in the Imperial Music Bureau—if Ye Liuyun didn’t suspect an ulterior motive, he’d never believe it.

"Have soone check her out."

"Understood!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s order,

Si Nan, who only thought Ye Liuyun was taken by i Ji, nodded imdiately.

With the skills of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, looking into a prostitute’s background was child’s play.

"Don’t get caught. Be sneaky about it."

Seeing Si Nan’s slightly off expression, Ye Liuyun reminded him in passing.

"Hm?"

What does that an?

Why be sneaky—could it be there’s sothing more going on here than I know?

Though Si Nan couldn’t quite figure it out right now, he still nodded accordingly.

"Don’t worry, sir!"

In this regard, Ye Liuyun really did trust Si Nan. Seeing Si Nan agree, Ye Liuyun didn’t pursue the matter further.

Instead, the focus shifted to i Ji.

Although she wasn’t yet the Courtesan, everyone at the brothel was already saying i Ji would soon replace Ruo Xi as the new Courtesan of the Imperial Music Bureau.

So i Ji’s status here was worlds apart from the other girls.

Not only did she have her own room, there were even personal maids waiting on her.

"Miss!"

Sitting at her dressing table, i Ji casually took out a few hairpins from her hair.
