Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 222 The Ninth Prince is Getting Anxious! A Fight Has Broken Out?

"I didn't summon you here to watch you argue!"

Say it in one sentence.

Both Wei Hongfang and Yun Hu and Guan Bao immediately fell silent.

Obviously,

Regardless of any conflicts between them, neither dared to show them in front of Yan Fuhai. With just a word, both sides immediately became obedient.

This is exactly the situation that Yan Fuhai is most happy to see.

No matter how you argue in private, you must behave obediently in front of me.

This inevitably gave Yan Fuhai a feeling of being in control of everything, and as a result, his mood improved.

His gaze naturally turned towards Yun Hu and Guan Bao.

"You all did a great job this time. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"

Two innate masters joined forces to defeat a grandmaster. Regardless of what happened in between, a victory is a victory, and such a story, if it gets out, will benefit the Great Qian Dynasty.

In this case.

This brought a smile to the faces of both Yunhu and Guanbao.

After waiting for so long, isn't this the opportunity they've been waiting for?

And now.

This opportunity has finally arrived!

The two brothers bowed with their hands clasped in a gesture of respect.

"It is an honor for us to share His Majesty's burdens. We dare not hope for any reward. If possible, my brother and I hope to serve by His Majesty's side and follow his lead!"

Rewards and such are all fleeting.

As long as you can work by Yan Fuhai's side, how could you not receive plenty of rewards in the future?
The intricacies of this situation were clear not only to Yan Fuhai, but also to Wei Hongfang, who was standing nearby.

He glanced sideways at Wei Hongfang's less-than-pleasant expression.

Yan Fuhai's lips curled into a slight smile.

Let's fight!

It's more interesting when people argue.

"That,,"

I was just about to say something.

But Wei Hongfang, who was standing to the side, quickly said something.

"Your Majesty! These two are not from the palace, and they may not know the rules. How about I teach them the palace etiquette first, and then let them enter the palace to serve Your Majesty?"

I can see it.

Judging from the brothers' behavior, it seems they're going to have a complete falling out today.

If Yunhu and Guanbao were to work for Yan Fuhai, there's no guarantee that one day these two brothers wouldn't try to take advantage of him.

He was being bullied by his former adopted son.

If that kind of thing were really troublesome, Wei Hongfang would probably want to die. So no matter what, it's impossible to let Yun Hu and Guan Bao work smoothly by Yan Fuhai's side.

"What you said makes sense!"

Yan Fuhai seemed to have been persuaded.

Nod slightly.

"Then let's do as you say and wait a month before entering the palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although they only managed to secure a month's time, it was still quite good, and Wei Hongfang naturally had no objections.

But Yunhu and Guanbao's side.

The way they looked at Wei Hongfang was somewhat distorted.

The opportunity that had been so hard to come by was now going to be delayed for another month because of Wei Hongfang's words. It wasn't that they couldn't wait, but the opportunity was right in front of them, within easy reach.

It just flew away like that.

This is something that would be hard to accept for anyone!

"What's your opinion?"

Yan Fuhai then looked at Yun Hu and Guan Bao.

"We obey!"

Yun Hu and Guan Bao dared not say a word against Yan Fuhai's order and immediately agreed.

All the hatred was focused on Wei Hongfang. Blocking someone's path to wealth was like killing their parents. In just one moment, hatred was formed.

Yunhu and Guanbao's gazes.

Wei Hongfang naturally noticed it as well, but he didn't care.

Although he didn't know how Yunhu and Guanbao managed to defeat a Grandmaster, Wei Hongfang was confident in dealing with them, as he was at the late Grandmaster level.

So there's nothing to be afraid of.

After saying a few more words, Yunhu, Guan Bao, and Wei Hongfang left the palace.

"interesting!"

Watching the group of people leave.

Yan Fuhai smiled slightly.

What those in power might most enjoy seeing is their subordinates fighting tooth and nail for even the smallest bit of power.

This would give Yan Fuhai the feeling of being the one holding the pieces, in control of everything.

Let them fight, let them make a scene.

In the end, it is ultimately oneself who controls everything.

Yan Fuhai treated it all as a farce from beginning to end and didn't take it to heart at all.

,,,

When we left the palace.

It was already getting late outside.

Yun Hu, Guan Bao, and Wei Hongfang all stopped at the same time as they left the palace, looking at each other without saying a word.

At a time like this, it would seem rather thoughtless to bring up matters of godfather and godson.

"You're quite lucky!"

In the end, it was Wei Hongfang who spoke first with a cold laugh.

"Although I don't know how you two brothers defeated a Grandmaster, a Xiantian is still a Xiantian. As long as this family lives, you will obediently be suppressed by us and don't even dream of ever getting ahead!"

Forget about the others.

But Yunhu and Guanbao are his adopted sons.

Wei Hongfang would never allow himself to be trampled underfoot by his adopted son one day.

Even the slightest hint of something.

Wei Hongfang would also personally extinguish it.

"In that case, we'll see, Your Majesty!"

When it came to the last form of address, Yunhu clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his expression indifferent.

Similarly, this is the term used.

This also meant that she had completely severed her relationship with Wei Hongfang.

Although from the very beginning they only became Wei Hongfang's godfather for profit, there couldn't possibly be any real father-son relationship between them.

"Humph!"

Wei Hongfang naturally understood the meaning behind Yun Hu's words.

He let out a cold snort, showing no sign of regret.

To reiterate, given Wei Hongfang's status, if he truly wanted to adopt a son, there would be at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, people in the capital city who would be willing to be his godson.

There is absolutely no shortage.

They really are ungrateful wretches; thankfully, we discovered it in time.

"Don't worry, we'll teach you all a lesson about manners over the next month!"

Done.

Wei Hongfang didn't intend to waste any more words and simply turned and left.

"Second brother!"

After Wei Hongfang left, Guan Bao couldn't help but move closer to Yun Hu.

"This Wei Hongfang is going too far! We were just about to be able to work by His Majesty's side, but because of his words, we're going to be delayed for another month. What about palace rules? I think he's just trying to cause us trouble!"

That's the principle.

If Guan Bao could see it, how could Yun Hu not?

There was nothing they could do; Yan Fuhai had already agreed, so how could they possibly disobey?

"Second brother, why don't we find an opportunity to kill this old bastard? That way, His Majesty will only have the two of us by his side!"

by that time.

The only people Yan Fuhai trusts most are those two brothers, right?
",,,"

Yunhu fell silent.

I neither agreed nor refused.

Clearly, Yunhu still harbored such thoughts in his heart.

only!
"Not in a hurry!"

After calming down for a while, Yunhu still shook his head.

“Wei Hongfang is at the late stage of Grandmaster, which is different from the previous one who was at the early stage of Grandmaster.”

There's a small realm between them, and it's not something you can easily deal with.

"but!"

Despite saying that, Yunhu's face didn't show much worry.

"Once I break through to the Grandmaster level, even if I can't compare to Wei Hongfang's late-stage Grandmaster realm, I won't need to worry about anything anymore!"

This victory over a Grandmaster with the innate ability has truly boosted Yunhu's confidence.

Even at the Innate stage, one can already deal with early-stage Grandmasters.

But once I reach the early stage of Grandmaster, wouldn't it be a matter of course to deal with Wei Hongfang, who is at the late stage of Grandmaster?

Think about it this way.

Yunhu's lips couldn't help but curl upwards again.

Meanwhile, Guan Bao stood to the side.

After hearing what his second brother said, he obviously realized something, and his gaze toward his second brother instantly became excited.

"Second brother, could it be..."

If that's the case, then a breakthrough must be imminent!
Seeing Guan Bao's incredulous gaze, Yun Hu nodded with a smile.

"That's right, I can already sense that glimmer of opportunity. I think it won't be long before I can break through and reach the true Grandmaster realm."

"Great!"

At present, Yunhu and Guanbao are closely related by interests.

The fact that Yunhu can become stronger is also a great benefit to Guan Bao.

So Guan Bao celebrated Yun Hu without a second thought.

only.

While celebrating, Guan Bao still felt a touch of envy.

"As expected of you, Second Brother, your talent is truly remarkable. Why is it that I still don't feel like I'm about to break through to the Grandmaster level? And I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like my internal energy is becoming increasingly volatile!"

but.

This feeling is still very faint and not very strong.

That's why Guan Bao didn't take it too seriously.

"It's normal!"

Yunhu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Guan Bao's expression.

He said it in a very natural tone.

"Breaking through to the Grandmaster level isn't that easy. Even if we obtained a peerless manual like the 'War God Technique,' breaking through to the Grandmaster level wouldn't be a simple matter."

"You're still too impatient, that's why you're like this. With more time to reflect and mature, you'll definitely be able to break through!"

After Yunhu's words of comfort.

The last bit of worry that Guan Bao had was immediately gone.

That's right, just like my second brother said. I was just too anxious and overthinking things.

"I know, second brother!"

Seeing that Guan Bao was so obedient.

Yunhu nodded in satisfaction and stopped worrying about cultivation level.

"Just be patient for this month!"

"it is good!"

Anyway, I've endured it all these years. Now the opportunity is right in front of me. It's just a matter of enduring for another month. What's that?

So Yunhu nodded without much thought and agreed quite naturally.

,,,

Just as Yunhu and Guanbao had guessed.

The next month.

Wei Hongfang often used the pretext of teaching palace rules to embarrass Yunhu and Guanbao, and the two brothers endured it all.

Watching the two brothers, who always kept their anger hidden whenever they were provoked.

Wei Hongfang showed no sign of smugness; instead, his expression grew increasingly grim.

If they get really provoked and then take action, then so be it.

But this current act of forbearance clearly indicates that he intends to settle scores with me later.

Think of this.

Wei Hongfang's eyes had become much sharper.

Anyone who stands in my way, whether they are my godson or my biological son, I will get rid of them.

,,,

"A fight started?"

Jiaofang Division.

Inside the private room on the top floor.

Ye Liuyun held a wine glass in one hand and drank the wine leisurely.

Meanwhile, Meiji was looking at the information she had gathered.

The remnants of Qingshui Pavilion include not only Meiji, Qu Zheng, and Granny Liu, but also some other people. Although their cultivation levels are not very high, they are more than enough to gather intelligence.

This is not.

The news brought back was about a fight between the Wei Hongfang and Yun Hu and Guan Bao brothers.

The end of the month is getting closer.

Seeing that there was no chance at all, Wei Hongfang became somewhat anxious.

So he planned to find some excuse to attack the two brothers, in order to eliminate them directly.

"How is the result?"

Upon hearing this news, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but become interested.

He put down his wine glass and glanced over.

"It should be a draw. In any case, Yunhu and Guanbao both left Wei Hongfang's mansion unharmed. Moreover, after the two brothers left, the people gathering intelligence heard a lot of smashing and looting sounds coming from Wei Hongfang's mansion, as well as Wei Hongfang's angry roars!"

As for the specific details...

That's unknown.

Wei Hongfang is a grandmaster, so it's already quite impressive that he can gather information outside the mansion. To actually go inside the mansion to see for himself would be a bit too disrespectful to a grandmaster like Wei Hongfang.

but.

We can still glean some intelligence from this information.

Without the ability to escape unscathed, given Wei Hongfang's personality, it would be absolutely impossible for him to let Yun Hu and Guan Bao leave so easily.

"It seems that Yunhu has already broken through to the Grandmaster level!"

There is no other possibility.

Come to think of it, almost a month has passed, so it's not surprising that Yunhu would break through.

If the cultivation speed of demonic techniques is not fast.

There are still people there who are willing to risk the side effects to cultivate.

As for whether Guan Bao had broken through, Ye Liuyun had never witnessed such a possibility.

Ye Liuyun had already noticed it when they first met.

This is generally the case in the cultivation of the leopard.

It would be good enough if you could break through to the innate level in this lifetime, so don't even dream about anything else.

With the shortcuts available now, reaching the peak of the Innate Realm is already the limit. If we try to break through any further, I'm afraid all the vital energy in my body will be completely drained.

With Yunhu's Grandmaster-level cultivation and Guan Bao's perfected Innate Realm cultivation, confronting Wei Hongfang wouldn't be difficult at all.

Of course.

This is also related to the fact that Wei Hongfang himself is quite useless.

A grandmaster at the late stage, yet he was injured by a martial artist at the innate stage before, it's utterly shameful.

"Your technique is really effective! It makes me want to try it myself!"

Mei Ji, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ye Liuyun.

Reaching the mid-stage of the Innate Realm at my age is already quite remarkable.

But breaking through to the Grandmaster level still feels like a long way off.

Having never encountered this before, Meiji finally understands why so many people want to take shortcuts to cultivate demonic techniques. The cultivation speed is truly astounding!

"sure!"

Glancing at the enchanting woman, Ye Liuyun spoke in a very natural tone.

"With your talent, you could easily become a Grandmaster, let alone a Grandmaster!"

"seriously!"

When Meiji heard the words "Grandmaster," her eyes visibly brightened.

No surprises yet.

Ye Liuyun's voice continued to come through.

"After you cultivate for a year or two, your body will be depleted of qi and blood, you'll look withered, your eyes will be sunken, and your cheekbones will be sunken. If you become like that, you might actually have a unique charm."

"Even if you break through to the Grandmaster level by then, you'll be like a candle in the wind, easily shattered!"

Do you really think demonic cultivation techniques are so easy to master?

The side effects are very severe.

Otherwise, if everyone were to cultivate demonic techniques, who would still be here seriously practicing asceticism?

"this,,"

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this.

Meiji was stunned at first, and couldn't help but recall herself in that appearance, which really looked like a ghost.

Just thinking about it.

Meiji quickly shook her head.

"I don't want to learn anymore! I don't want to learn anymore!"

Just thinking about how it would turn out made Meiji feel utterly opposed to it.

If I were to become that inhuman, ghostly creature, I'd rather just honestly and seriously cultivate myself.

",,,"

Looking at this enchanting beauty.

Ye Liuyun simply shrugged, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

In the private room.

Besides Ye Liuyun and Meiji, Qu Zheng and Granny Liu were also present. After looking at each other, the two old men couldn't help but laugh as they watched the playful scene unfold.

If everything is alright, then this scene would surely be beautiful.

"You're just trying to scare me!"

At this moment, Meiji also realized what was happening.

Ye Liuyun must be trying to scare me by saying that.

"However, Yunhu and Guanbao are about to start working for Yan Fuhai. When can our plan begin?"

You can tell.

Meiji was particularly anxious when it came to dealing with Yan Fuhai.

Looking at their eager eyes.

It was as if they couldn't wait to rush to Yan Fuhai's side and avenge their sister Liu.

"almost!"

Knowing what Mei Ji meant, Ye Liuyun simply said one sentence.

"Don't worry, it won't be long. Neither Yun Hu nor Guan Bao, nor Wei Hongfang, are magnanimous people. The day when this conflict completely erupts is definitely not far off!"

Wei Hongfang was not a magnanimous person, and neither were Yun Hu and Guan Bao.

To be honest, Yunhu is quite shrewd.

It's a pity that although everything seemed fine after Yunhu broke through to the Grandmaster level, his potential for blood and energy was completely exhausted.

If one continues to cultivate...

The mind and spirit will inevitably be affected, and one's temper will become irritable and easily angered.

Under such circumstances, even the most shrewd person cannot remain calm.

"OK then!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun say this.

Meiji could only nod, suppressing her emotions.

,,,

Everything was proceeding as Ye Liuyun had planned.

same.

Yan Fuhai also received news from Wei Hongfang's residence.

But obviously.

Yan Fuhai was better prepared with the information he received, since the person in charge of the information was watching the battle from the sidelines, and Wei Hongfang also knew that there were people arranged by Yan Fuhai in his residence.

They just didn't dare to show it at all.

Based on the information brought back by his men, Wei Hongfang estimated that he would cause trouble for the Yun Hu and Guan Bao brothers and take strong action.

However, they were defeated and driven back by the combined efforts of the Yunhu and Guanbao brothers.

In this battle.

Yunhu has fully demonstrated his Grandmaster-level cultivation, clearly indicating that he has broken through.

Guan Bao did not make a breakthrough.

But thanks to their tacit cooperation, they were not intimidated at all by Wei Hongfang, a late-stage Grandmaster.

"Your talent is quite good!"

Seeing the news that Yunhu had broken through to the Grandmaster level, Yan Fuhai nodded in satisfaction. The stronger the cultivation of his subordinates, the more at ease he, as the one in charge, would be.
only.

I've seen it said.

After Wei Hongfang's ruthless attack failed to subdue the two brothers, Yan Fuhai's mood became somewhat dissatisfied.

"What a waste!"

Even if Yunhu breaks through to the Grandmaster level, he will only be at the early stage of the Grandmaster level.

Wei Hongfang, a dignified late-stage Grandmaster, couldn't even defeat a Grandmaster at the early stage or a Perfected Innate Realm expert. What else could he be but a waste?

really.

During his seclusion, Wei Hongfang must have become lax.

and.

It's likely that Wei Hongfang felt he only had one loyal subordinate, so he didn't need to worry about his position being taken away by someone else. Therefore, Wei Hongfang didn't care much about cultivation level at all.

Anyway, I can't break through to the Grandmaster level.

Perhaps they felt that being stuck at the late Grandmaster level was just right, neither too high nor too low.

"Humph!"

Thinking of this, Yan Fuhai let out a cold snort.

Deep down, she already harbored some resentment towards Wei Hongfang.

but.

Because they've been by my side for a very long time.

Yan Fuhai would not easily give up on Wei Hongfang; he was only thinking of using the brothers Yunhu and Guanbao to give Wei Hongfang a good warning.

You are not the only capable person I have by my side.

If we continue to slack off like this, we'll be eliminated.

Feeling a sense of crisis, Wei Hongfang will definitely work hard to restore his strength.

Think of this.

Yan Fuhai nodded in satisfaction, then waved to the eunuch beside him.

"Give the order that from now on, Yunhu and Guanbao will serve as bodyguards by my side!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
