Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 234 He's enraged! But not completely enraged yet! The final spark
"Happy! Of course I'm happy!"

Hear this.

Guan Bao quickly forced a smile and congratulated Yun Hu.

"Hahaha!"

Unfortunately.

Yunhu, who was in a bit too excited, didn't notice Guanbao's emotional problem at all.

Perhaps it was because Yunhu didn't suspect Guan Bao at all, so he didn't think much of it and took the opportunity to put his arm around Guan Bao.

"Don't worry, when I become the Ninth Prince, I will never forget you!"

Yunhu isn't stupid.

Guan Bao is quite capable, and he's one of our own. Having him by my side would definitely be more comfortable than having others around!
In the past, Guan Bao would have been extremely happy to hear this.

just now.

do not know why.

Guan Bao felt increasingly uneasy the more he thought about it, and he couldn't feel happy at all, so his smile seemed even more forced.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yunhu finally noticed something and looked over with a puzzled expression.

"No, nothing!"

Realizing something, Guan Bao quickly shook his head at Yun Hu.

"It's just that lately I've been feeling my internal energy fluctuating more and more frequently, as if I'm about to break through, which is why I'm feeling a bit uneasy!"

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Yunhu had no doubts.

I felt the same way when I was about to break through to the Grandmaster level.

Hearing that Guan Bao was about to break through to the Grandmaster level, Yun Hu was naturally happy.

"That's wonderful! Once you break through to the Grandmaster level, with the two of us Grandmasters joining forces, who in the Great Qian Dynasty will be more glorious than us two brothers! Hahaha!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Guan Bao smiled and nodded.

But that smile just doesn't look natural at all!
On the way back, Yunhu had a big smile on his face, and he couldn't hide his joy.

After returning to the mansion.

Yunhu went back to his room to cultivate first. After all, if he wanted to become a Nine Thousand Year Old, his cultivation at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm was still a little short.

I don't expect him to reach the late stage of the Grandmaster realm like Wei Hongfang, but he should at least be at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm!

Yunhu was quite confident about this.

only.

Watching Yunhu's departing figure, Guan Bao stood silently in place for a long time before returning to his residence.

After everyone else had left.

Guan Bao could no longer hold back.

"Damn it! You all look down on me, don't you? All of you, start it now!"

Wei Hongfang was like this, and so was Yan Fuhai.

The only thing they valued was Yunhu; to them, he was more like an accessory, and nobody cared about him at all.

All of this was because his cultivation level was still at the Innate stage, and he had not yet broken through to the Grandmaster stage.

If I were to break through to the Grandmaster level, how could those people still ignore me like they do now?

It is precisely because of this.

In Guan Bao's heart, a strange sense of jealousy arose towards his second brother, Yun Hu.

Why is it that everyone cultivates the same technique, yet Yunhu's cultivation is so smooth and unimpeded, while I'm stuck at the Innate Perfection realm, with absolutely no feeling of breaking through?

As for what he just said to Yunhu about breaking through, it was just an excuse.

Guan Bao clearly knew this as well.

The higher Yunhu's cultivation level, the better it will be for him.

But it's just inexplicable.

Guan Bao's mood became increasingly irritable, and he even had the idea of ​​killing Yun Hu directly.

"call!"

But Guan Bao immediately suppressed this terrible thought as soon as it came to mind.

He immediately adjusted his breathing.

How could I have thought that!

Even Guan Bao himself found it incredibly unbelievable.

Why would such a thought appear in my mind?

Could it be that the lack of breakthroughs over a long period of time has led to excessive psychological pressure and thus caused him to overthink things? Guan Bao attributed everything to his own psychological problems.

Therefore, Guan Bao has no doubt whatsoever about the 'War God Skill' he is currently practicing, and still regards it as a treasure.

shook his head.

Guan Bao temporarily banished the thoughts from his mind.

but.

This is only temporary.

As long as Guan Bao hasn't broken through to the Grandmaster realm, this idea can never be completely suppressed.

Think of this.

Guan Bao immediately sat cross-legged, preparing to cultivate.

He simply refused to believe that if his second brother could break through to the Grandmaster realm, then he certainly could too.

Guan Bao is still confident in himself, but he feels that it will take some time.

,,,

at the same time!

"Is the news accurate?"

Inside the Prime Minister's residence of Fu Zhengqing.

Looking at his subordinate's report, Fu Zhengqing looked somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting such a thing to happen.

"Your Excellency, everything I have said is true!"

The serious and earnest answer from his subordinate made Fu Zhengqing realize that this was no joke.

Although Yan Fuhai has not yet issued an imperial edict.

But most of the people who need to know already know that Wei Hongfang's position as the Ninth Prince is gone!
All the people of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Everyone knows that Wei Hongfang was Yan Fuhai's most loyal dog, but now he has been kicked aside by Yan Fuhai.

Such an ending is truly heartbreaking.

Fu Zhengqing didn't care whether Wei Hongfang was still the Ninth Prince or not. In any case, even if they had interacted before, it wasn't a good relationship. In fact, Fu Zhengqing didn't care whether Wei Hongfang was alive or dead.

What Fu Zhengqing was really concerned about was another issue.

"So, in other words, our retired emperor never left the palace from beginning to end, and all matters were handled by his subordinates, right?"

"Uh! Yes, sir!"

Although I don't know why Fu Zhengqing suddenly asked that question.

But after a moment of silence, his subordinate nodded obediently, confirming that it was indeed the case.

",,,"

Fu Zhengqing immediately fell silent.

His eyes seemed to be deep in thought, and the surroundings were quiet. His subordinates clearly did not dare to disturb him while he was pondering.

All they could do was obediently stand by and watch.

"You go down first!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Only after receiving Fu Zhengqing's permission did the subordinate dare to bow and leave.

Not only that.

Fu Zhengqing also dismissed the other maids and servants in the courtyard.

He was left alone, his face full of thought.

"Could it be true?"

Fu Zhengqing inexplicably thought of Ye Liuyun and the people he had mentioned that day in Linshui City.

Although Yan Fuhai has broken through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, it comes with significant side effects, making it impossible for him to act freely. If this is true, then perhaps there are many things that can be carefully planned.

Think of this.

A strange look flashed across Fu Zhengqing's eyes.

After inquiring about part of the story, Fu Zhengqing was able to deduce the whole story on his own.

After all, Fu Zhengqing himself had such an experience.

When Fu Zhengqing broke through to the early stage of the Grandmaster realm, he was quite proud of himself and even began to fantasize about whether he would have the opportunity to glimpse the legendary realm of the terrestrial immortal.

Then.

That was the end of it. After being warned by Yan Fuhai, who subtly implied that his life would be in danger if he broke through again, Fu Zhengqing had no choice but to stay at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.

It seems that Ye Liuyun has gone through the same thing as me.

The difference is that when I contacted him, it was Yan Fuhai himself who came to me, while when Ye Liuyun contacted him, it was just Yan Fuhai's subordinates. Moreover, Ye Liuyun's attitude was completely different from mine at the time!

Of course.

None of this is the point.

The key point is that Wei Hongfang had already been directly beaten out by Ye Liuyun.

However, Yan Fuhai did not confront Ye Liuyun directly in anger, but instead dispatched other subordinates.

It seems like there's nothing wrong.

In the past, Fu Zhengqing would have just found it strange, but he would have stopped caring about it soon.

However, if we combine this with the information we received from Ye Liuyun, the situation is clearly different.

Yan Fuhai has never been a magnanimous person. When he was young, he did things like wiping out an entire family over a trivial matter.

Even though I'm getting older now, this mindset has never been more expansive.

They even take power more seriously now.

Instead of personally going to their door, they sent other subordinates to continue the investigation, which was a matter that had saved face for them.

Is it that Yan Fuhai doesn't want to go to their door in person, or is it that he simply can't do it?

"If it's true!"

The thought that Yan Fuhai might truly be unable to act freely now seemed irrelevant.

The emotions emanating from Yan Fuhai's eyes became even more intense. Perhaps, his chance was really coming!

As long as Yan Fuhai is gone.

Yan Shuzhu is no threat at all. By then, all the power in the Great Qian Dynasty will probably be concentrated in my hands. The only trouble then will probably be Ye Liuyun.

but.

Ye Liuyun is young after all, and Fu Zhengqing is quite confident that if they were to fight, he would be able to win.

after all.

After all, he's not just a Grandmaster in his early stages; he's also a Rank 4 sorcerer.

but.

Fu Zhengqing is not an impulsive person.

On the contrary, he remained very calm.

After a brief moment of excitement, he quickly regained his composure.

"call!"

As he exhaled a breath of stale air, Fu Zhengqing's mind became much clearer.

"We still need to probe further to find out the specifics!"

Everything right now is just speculation. We still need to test the waters to see if Yan Fuhai really can't be attacked lightly.

Think of this.

A series of thoughts began to flash through Fu Zhengqing's mind.

A plan began to take shape in Fu Zhengqing's mind.

,,,

A few days passed quickly.

In the past few days, Ye Liuyun has not stopped cultivating. It will be impossible for him to break through again in a short time.

but.

Taking advantage of these few days, Ye Liuyun successfully consolidated his current cultivation level.

It can be said that he has firmly established himself at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm, and has also made significant progress in his mental state.

Ye Liuyun has already made arrangements and can begin preparing for breaking through to the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm.

It's called preparation, but it's really just about collecting talent attributes. You can't really rely on proper cultivation to break through your cultivation level, that would take ten or eight years!

Ye Liuyun clearly didn't have that kind of patience.

and.

There are clearly methods without any side effects available, yet they insist on going into grueling seclusion to cultivate. Isn't that just plain stupid?

Anyway, for the next period of time.

Ye Liuyun has already made all the arrangements.

The process was like going to the Zhaoyu Prison today and the Lianyu Prison tomorrow.

Strive to upgrade all of your talent attributes to gold quality, or even red quality, as soon as possible.

Compared to Ye Liuyun's relaxed situation.

The situation at the former residence of the Ninth Prince, Wei Hongfang, is completely different now.

Just a few days ago, this place was a prosperous and glorious place, with people visiting almost every day, wanting to befriend Wei Hongfang, or people who wanted to curry favor with him and were willing to become his godson.

But only a few days have passed.

Wei Hongfang's mansion seemed to have suddenly become much more desolate.

Even the number of servants in the mansion has decreased significantly.

After all, Yan Fuhai was very disappointed with Wei Hongfang at the moment and directly withdrew his people. Most of the servants in Wei Hongfang's mansion were people arranged by Yan Fuhai. Now that they have been withdrawn, the mansion has suddenly become much emptier.

Not only that.

It was also because he lost his status as the "Nine Thousand Years Old".

All the spies that Wei Hongfang had previously placed throughout the imperial court suddenly broke off contact with him and switched sides.

Now, let alone visiting Wei Hongfang.

Even when he was outside, Wei Hongfang could hear people making contemptuous and mocking remarks about him.

It is precisely because, although Wei Hongfang no longer holds the title of "Nine Thousand Years Old," he is still a martial artist at the late stage of the Grandmaster realm. Otherwise, those people might not have been cursing him behind his back, but would have been cursing him directly to his face.

"Oh!"

Looking around at the empty space.

Wei Hongfang finally couldn't hold back any longer. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and smashed the teacup hard on the ground. His eyes were gloomy and his face was extremely ugly.

A few servants were scattered around.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone remained silent, as if afraid of being affected by Wei Hongfang's anger.

"Damn shit!"

Hunting geese all day long, only to be pecked by geese.

Wei Hongfang never expected this.

One day, I was actually trampled underfoot by my former adopted son.

He had thought he might lose to Fu Zhengqing and to Yue Xiu, but he never imagined he would lose to his former godson. This was the thing Wei Hongfang found most unbearable.

Just thinking about the smug looks Yunhu and Guanbao gave him when they looked at him...

Wei Hongfang's heart grew increasingly gloomy.

No.

These two answers are the only ones who must die; neither of them can survive.

But what about now?

He couldn't even get into the palace, so he had no way to act freely. Thinking of this, Wei Hongfang's expression suddenly became much more dejected.

Some resentment towards Yan Fuhai arose in his heart.

"Master, I've served you for so many days, why are you treating me like this over such a trivial matter!"

Looking up, Wei Hongfang couldn't help but sigh, his expression wistful.

,,,

"not enough!"

Within the Jiaofang Division.

Although Ye Liuyun said he was going to work hard in his cultivation, occasional relaxation was still necessary.

Moreover, I have a legitimate reason for coming to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution).

Meiji and Granny Liu, who were standing in front of them, were happy because of the news that Wei Hongfang had been demoted.

after all.

From this perspective, Ye Liuyun's first step in his plan has been a success.

only.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun said in a calm tone, "Being demoted is far from enough."

"At present, Wei Hongfang may harbor resentment towards Yan Fuhai, but it is far from enough. This resentment is not enough to support Wei Hongfang in directly betraying Yan Fuhai!"

estimate.

Even if Wei Hongfang harbors resentment at the moment, he will probably still be thinking that if he has the chance, he must regain Yan Fuhai's favor.

Then they took back everything they had lost.

It doesn't mean they'll actually take action against Yan Fuhai.

Therefore, we must make Wei Hongfang face reality.

Ye Liuyun's words caused Meiji and the others to exchange glances and smile slightly.

Finally, it was Mei Ji who stepped forward and said to Ye Liuyun with a smile.

"Leave this to us!"

"Ok?"

Ye Liuyun was still thinking about how to maximize Wei Hongfang's motivation when he suddenly heard Meiji's words.

Ye Liuyun was clearly stunned for a moment, and looked over with some surprise.

"you?"

"Don't underestimate us!"

Noticing Ye Liuyun's gaze, Mei Ji smiled smugly and then spoke directly.

"Over the years, although we've mostly been in hiding, we haven't been idle. We have quite a few informants in the capital, though their positions aren't particularly high!"

"But that's precisely why it's even more effective at disgusting Wei Hongfang, isn't it?"

Meiji is indeed a clever woman.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow slightly but did not refuse.

"Since you've put it that way, then this matter will be left to you!"

Perfect, it saves Ye Liuyun from having to think of other methods.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun also wanted to see just how capable this Enchantress really was.

"Just wait and see!"

Seeing that Ye Liuyun had agreed, Meiji's smile widened considerably. She was determined to make this happen and show Ye Liuyun her skills.

What happened before.

It was all done by Ye Liuyun.

Meiji also wants to show off her abilities!
Just as Meiji was wondering how surprised Ye Liuyun would be after she accomplished this, Ye Liuyun patted his sleeves and stood up from his seat.

"Alright, it's getting late, I'll head back now!"

Today, we'll mainly talk about Wei Hongfang.

Now that everything has been said, it's time for me to go back.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Meiji immediately realized what was happening, dispelled her fantasies, and stood up from her seat.

"Are you leaving now?"

Before him stood a man of exceptional talent, renowned throughout the capital.

And the man who helped her take revenge—it's impossible for Meiji not to have any ulterior motives.

Originally thought.

We'll talk about other things after we've completely avenged Sister Qing and everything has settled down.

But some things, like feelings, aren't things you can simply stop thinking about just because you say you don't want to.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Seeing Mei Ji's strong reaction, Ye Liuyun looked over.

"No, nothing!"

Meiji first shook her head, then immediately added a sentence.

"I just think it's getting late, and the way back is too far, so why don't we rest here for the night?"

",,,"

Is the way back too far?

The way you say that makes people think my home is outside the city.

but.

Ye Liuyun wasn't exactly a straight man, and seeing Meiji like this, he couldn't help but tease her.

"The rooms here aren't very big. If I rest here, where will you rest?"

"I...I can rest at Grandma Liu's place!"

Grandma Liu also has her own room here.

only.

Upon hearing Meiji's words, Granny Liu simply replied.

"I'm getting old and I'm a light sleeper, so I prefer to rest alone. Why don't you rest with Young Master Ye, Mengzhu?"

"Ah this!"

Although that was exactly what Meiji originally thought.

But being told so directly by Granny Liu still made me a little embarrassed.

How could Granny Liu not see through Mei Ji's little scheme?

She even said she'd rest at my place, but I bet that Meiji will sneak back after I fall asleep.

If that's the case, then it would have been better to have been together from the beginning, so I wouldn't have had to get woken up again.

"Ahem! It's getting late, I won't disturb you any longer, I'll go and rest now!"

Granny Liu had a very good impression of Ye Liuyun, especially since he was such a young Grandmaster. Meiji would obviously have a better future if she followed him!

Grandma Liu didn't want to disrupt this marriage.

talking.

I was about to leave the room.

only.

As I was leaving, I noticed Qu Zheng standing in the backyard, still looking like he was watching the show.

Grandma Liu was speechless.

Does this old geezer really not know how much trouble he's in?

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Huh? I'm not sleepy!"

As if he hadn't expected to be asked this question, Qu Zheng replied without hesitation.

only.

No, you're very sleepy right now!

After saying that, without giving Qu Zheng a chance to say anything else, he grabbed the other man by the collar and left.

"Wait, wait! I can walk by myself!"

Qu Zheng was dragged away like that, struggling all the way.

Unfortunately, the difference in cultivation level made Qu Zheng's struggles seem extremely futile and had no effect whatsoever.

See this scene.

Meiji couldn't help but laugh.

"When Qingshui Pavilion was still around, Granny Liu and Grandpa Qu had a very good relationship! I heard that Grandpa Qu joined Qingshui Pavilion back then because of Granny Liu!"

“It’s really good!”

Feelings are truly the most wondrous thing in the world.

With that, Ye Liuyun withdrew his gaze and looked at Meiji again.

"However, now doesn't seem like the right time to talk about such things!"
