Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 251 More interesting than I imagined! Troublemakers come knocking.

Obviously.

There are some things that cannot be discussed casually, even as a member of the Xie family.

It seems Xie Ling'er has inquired about quite a bit of information.

"Aren't you afraid the head of the family will find out if you just tell me all this?"

Ye Liuyun was not afraid of any insidious or vicious martial arts techniques.

He's only at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm; he can't turn the tide.

He glanced at Xie Ling'er beside him, as if making a joke.

This kind of thing should be considered a secret, and shouldn't be told to others casually.

The teasing and sarcasm directed at Ye Liuyun.

Xie Ling'er didn't say anything, but she rolled her beautiful eyes at Ye Liuyun.

"She's completely yours now, what else can't I tell you!"

Xie Ling'er was very clear that she and Ye Liuyun were now one, sharing both glory and loss.

Only when Ye Liuyun becomes better can I become better, and vice versa.

This is a secret message.

Xie Ling'er naturally wouldn't hide it from Ye Liuyun.

Regardless of Xie Ling'er's true feelings, Ye Liuyun was still quite satisfied with this explanation.

"Perfect timing! I'm also very curious about what kind of person the owner of the Xie Clan Chamber of Commerce is!"

Mid-stage Grandmaster.

Let's see if the other person has any decent talent attributes. If so, they might become valuable assets for me in the future.

Just as Ye Liuyun was embracing Xie Ling'er.

As they walked into the mansion, a slightly arrogant voice suddenly rang out.

"It's been a long time, cousin Ling'er!"

Then, a figure of similar age to Xie Ling'er blocked Ye Liuyun and Xie Ling'er's way.

Beside the young man stood a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, holding a long sword in his arms. He was dressed as a martial arts practitioner and had a haughty air about him.

Upon seeing the other person, Xie Ling'er visibly frowned.

It's clear that the two don't get along.

"This man is named Xie Zheng, and he is my distant cousin. However, he is a wicked man who has been good at using tricks since he was a child!"

Xie Ling'er did not rush to answer Xie Zheng's question.

Instead, he leaned close to Ye Liuyun's ear and whispered the other person's identity to Ye Liuyun.

Even if Xie Ling'er didn't say it.

Ye Liuyun could also see that when Xie Zheng looked at Xie Ling'er, his eyes were filled with undisguised greed and covetousness.

Think about it too.

With Xie Ling'er's looks, how could she not have several admirers?

"I didn't expect that my cousin Ling'er would bring people with her this time!"

Xie Zheng had obviously noticed Ye Liuyun, but he didn't take it too seriously at first.

But now, looking at Xie Ling'er, not only did she not pay attention to him immediately, but she was also whispering something to Ye Liuyun. Even if we don't know what they were saying, we can tell from this.

The other person's relationship is definitely better.

Thinking of this, Xie Zheng glanced at Ye Liuyun with a subtle look in his eyes.

The Xie family's ancestral motto is to cultivate good relationships, so almost every member of the Xie family knows to support talented martial arts heroes in order to expand the Xie family's network.

Just like the middle-aged swordsman beside Xie Zheng, he was someone Xie Zheng befriended by using some cultivation resources.

I suppose Ye Liuyun is the same way.

Thinking of this, Xie Zheng actually laughed.

"Cousin Ling'er is really young. You know, there are geniuses in this world, but what use are they if they don't grow up?"

Clearly, Xie Zheng did not know Ye Liuyun.

Moreover, seeing Ye Liuyun's youthful appearance, Xie Zheng's attitude became much more unrestrained.

There's nothing we can do; even geniuses need time to grow.

Judging from Ye Liuyun's young age, even if he is a genius, at this age, he would be lucky to reach the Acquired Realm, and probably not even the Innate Realm.

Who knows, I might die in some remote corner in the future.

Let me introduce you!

At this point, Xie Zheng suddenly became confident.

Taking the opportunity, he introduced the swordsman beside him to Ye Liuyun and Xie Ling'er.

"This is the renowned Qingfeng Swordsman in the martial arts world, who is skilled in the thirty-two styles of Qingfeng Sword Technique and is a master of the martial arts."

"Now that my cultivation has reached the late stage of the Innate Realm, I think I can definitely break through to the Grandmaster Realm within twenty years!"

Listening to Xie Zheng's introduction.

The middle-aged man, known as the Gentle Breeze Swordsman, became even more arrogant.

Not everyone is like Ye Liuyun, who can directly cheat his way through.

To be able to break through to the Innate Realm at such a young age is indeed a genius in the world. However, whether he can break through to the Grandmaster Realm in the future depends on fate.

After all, there are countless martial artists who are stuck at this level.

Qingfeng Swordsman was quite clever; he knew he needed to rely on the Xie family's cultivation resources.

So when facing Xie Ling'er, although his attitude was arrogant, he still nodded in acknowledgment.

But when he saw Ye Liuyun...

"Humph!"

With a soft snort, she raised her head with a rather arrogant expression, as if she didn't even want to have much interaction with Ye Liuyun.

Upon seeing this, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Liuyun felt that he was long past the age of comparing himself to others in such matters.

"So you're the Gentle Breeze Swordsman! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

He smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, indicating he had never heard of it before.

They are probably not martial artists from the Great Qian region, but there are many similar titles in the world, such as swordsman or sword general. They sound impressive, but they are basically just for show.

They're considered "minor fish" in this context, and many of them even give themselves that title.

And Ye Liuyun's attitude.

In Xie Zheng's view, it was Ye Liuyun who had backed down, and his smile became even more disdainful.

They couldn't be bothered with Ye Liuyun anymore.

He turned his head and looked at Xie Ling'er.

"Cousin Ling'er, I think you should think it over carefully. If you're with me, I'll help you manage Fanlou. You just need to be a beautiful bride quietly, and leave everything else to me!"

Although the Xie Clan Chamber of Commerce has opened many branches in fourteen states across the country.

But the quantity is ultimately limited.

Even if each building is entrusted to only one member of the Xie family for management, many members of the Xie family will still be left without a job.

Not every member of the Xie family is qualified to deal with Fan Lou.

Xie Zheng is a perfect example.

However, Xie Zheng was also qualified to mobilize some resources of the Xie Clan Chamber of Commerce. When traveling the martial arts world, he made friends with and won over some martial arts heroes. This Qingfeng Swordsman was won over by Xie Zheng in this way.

But in fact.

Xie Zheng still harbored some resentment and always wanted to manage a brothel.

It just so happens that Xie Ling'er is in charge of a brothel, and given her beauty, Xie Zheng's mind naturally began to wander.

only.

With Xie Ling'er's intelligence, she saw through Xie Zheng's intentions long ago.

Xie Ling'er had not attended the previous family auctions.

On the one hand, they felt it was meaningless, and on the other hand, they naturally wanted to avoid Xie Zheng.

But now, it's no longer necessary.

In the past, Xie Ling'er wouldn't have said anything too harsh to Xie Zheng; she would have at least gone along with it to save face.

But things are clearly different now.

"Cousin, that's quite a nice way to put it. Do you really think I don't know anything? The family arranges who manages Fanlou according to the abilities of each family member."

"Instead of coveting the brothel I own, cousin, you should reflect on why the family doesn't allow you to manage a brothel."

Speaking of it.

Xie Ling'er's tone.

There was a noticeable pause.

Then, with a big smile on his face, he looked at Xie Zheng.

"Could it be that, in the family's eyes, my cousin is just a good-for-nothing, completely incapable of managing Fanlou?"

",,,"

That's really aggressive.

Even Ye Liuyun, who was standing to the side, looked at Xie Ling'er with some surprise, as it was the first time he had seen this side of Xie Ling'er.

She seemed to have noticed Ye Liuyun's gaze.

Xie Ling'er glanced over, smiled sweetly, and then snuggled up to Ye Liuyun.

Xie Ling'er is naturally very aggressive towards others, but she immediately becomes obedient when facing Ye Liuyun.

Xie Zheng had originally seemed very confident.

unknown.

Everyone thought that Fanlou, which was in Xie Ling'er's possession, had already fallen into Xie Zheng's hands.

but now.

With just one sentence, Xie Zheng's face instantly turned ugly, as black as the bottom of a pot, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

"My cousin Ling'er is really sharp-tongued!"

Xie Zheng basically said the last few words through gritted teeth.

The lack of management rights over any of the buildings has always been a thorn in Xie Zheng's side.

What I can't stand the most is being told that I'm useless and incompetent.

Now that Xie Ling'er has brought it up so bluntly.

It's already quite good that Xie Zhengneng didn't break through the defenses and go berserk, but even without breaking through the defenses, it's close enough.

"It seems that Cousin Ling'er's previous well-behaved demeanor was all an act!"

In the past, Xie Ling'er always seemed well-behaved and sensible. But now it seems...

That was all an act.

after all.

They are all from the same family, and Xie Zheng has parents, but Xie Ling'er's parents passed away early.

To be able to grow up under such circumstances and successfully inherit a prosperous building.

In a sense, this already demonstrates Xie Ling'er's abilities.

",,,"

Xie Ling'er was somewhat conflicted.

In fact, I had long found Xie Zheng disgusting and wanted to curse him out directly, but in the past I was too weak and had no opportunity.

Xie Ling'er was a little worried that if she were to say it directly now, it might cause trouble for Ye Liuyun, since this was Xie family territory.

"Just say what you want to say!"

Ye Liuyun could still see the gloom in Xie Ling'er's eyes.

With a smile on his lips, Ye Liuyun said something in a very casual tone.

"Ok?"

Seemingly surprised by Ye Liuyun's words, Xie Ling'er looked over with a somewhat unexpected expression.

"I can handle it!"

Faced with Xie Ling'er's gaze, Ye Liuyun didn't offer much explanation.

He simply said something in a rather lazy manner.

What about the Xie family's territory?

Moreover, the strongest among them is only at the mid-stage of Grandmaster, although Ye Liuyun's current cultivation level is also at the mid-stage of Grandmaster.

But thanks to the Starfall Immortal Scripture he had recently obtained.

Even if we don't say he's at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, Ye Liuyun would still be a formidable opponent even at the late Grandmaster stage.

afraid?
It doesn't exist at all.

Meeting Ye Liuyun's gaze, Xie Ling'er stared for a while before suddenly laughing.

Unlike her previous pretense, this smile was a genuine smile from the heart.

One can imagine how much effort Xie Ling'er has put in to get to where she is today without the support of her parents. The hardships she has endured are probably only known to Xie Ling'er herself.

But today, it seems I have someone to rely on.

With a smile, Xie Ling'er looked at Xie Zheng again.

"Being born into a family like this, if you didn't know how to pretend, you probably wouldn't have survived to this day. After all, not everyone is like my cousin, with his own parents looking after him!"

"?"

Xie Zheng frowned slightly.

It seemed that Xie Ling'er hadn't expected to be so blunt.

Could it be because of that Ye Liuyun?

Xie Zheng glanced at Ye Liuyun, scanning the area, but found nothing unusual about the young man.

"What good are my parents? I am who I am today because of my own hard work!"

Although his parents had indeed helped him a lot, Xie Zheng was unwilling to admit it.

If I admit it, wouldn't it make me look like a useless person with no ability?

but.

Such an answer.

This made Xie Ling'er unable to help but laugh, and her laughter was filled with contempt, which she made no attempt to hide.

"Although I've seen it before, I still have to say, my cousin is really shameless!"

"you,,"

It was already somewhat vulnerable.

Hearing this now, he was even more furious and was about to say something.

But Xie Ling'er continued speaking.

"How many people in the family don't know that my cousin is a good-for-nothing? I'm afraid that even being able to recruit this Qingfeng Swordsman was thanks to my uncle and aunt's help. Otherwise, how could a good-for-nothing like my cousin be recruited? It's good enough if we don't offend him."

"You still want to covet Fanlou, cousin? The most valuable thing about a person is to know their own limitations. Wouldn't it be better to just be a good-for-nothing, a freeloader? Why do you always covet things that are beyond your capabilities?"

",,,"

Xie Zheng was no longer able to speak.

She was so angry that her face turned red.

This was also the first time I had witnessed the aggressiveness in Xie Ling'er's words.

But there was nothing they could refute.

Just as Xie Ling'er said, Xie Zheng's parents did help recruit this Qingfeng Swordsman, providing him with a lot of resources. Otherwise, Xie Zheng himself would not have even looked at this Qingfeng Swordsman.

"Do you really think that just because we're both from the Xie clan, I wouldn't dare kill you?"

When Xie Zheng looked at Xie Ling'er again, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"You think you can beat me?"

A soul-searching question!

This left Xie Zheng, who was about to say something, speechless.

Indeed, if we're talking about individual painting skills alone, Xie Zheng is no match for Xie Ling'er.

The fact that she hadn't made a move before doesn't mean Xie Ling'er was truly no match for Xie Zheng.

This was more than just self-contempt; Xie Zheng didn't know how to describe his feelings.

"gentlemen!"

His face was gloomy.

Xie Zheng did not make a move, but instead looked at the Qingfeng Swordsman standing to the side.

"Didn't you say you needed a Breakthrough Pill? I happen to have a few on hand, which is exactly what you need!"

",,,"

The swordsman Qingfeng, who was standing to the side with his sword in his arms, had a noticeable flicker in his eyes when he heard the words "Breakthrough Pill".

This type of elixir.

It is still very useful for martial artists at the Innate Realm.

"She is a member of the Xie family!"

However, Qingfeng Swordsman wasn't stupid. Instead of attacking directly, he looked at Xie Ling'er and said something.

Regardless, this is Xie's territory.

As a member of the Xie clan, Xie Zheng naturally wasn't worried about the consequences of taking action against Xie Ling'er.

But I'm clearly different!
"I won't make things difficult for you, sir!"

As he spoke, Xie Zheng's lips curled into a cruel smile.

Their gaze shifted from Xie Ling'er to Ye Liuyun.

"I think challenges between martial arts heroes are a perfectly normal thing!"

In the world of martial arts, some hot-tempered people might resort to violence if they don't like someone, which is perfectly normal.

The Swordsman of the Breeze clearly understood the meaning behind Xie Zheng's words.

If we can't do anything to Xie Ling'er, can't we at least do something to this chivalrous swordsman that Xie Ling'er has recruited?
"you!"

Xie Ling'er, realizing what was happening, was also filled with surprise.

He looked at Xie Zheng with disbelief.

No, are you really that brave?
"What, are you scared? But I can give you another chance. As long as you are willing to marry me and hand over Fanlou to me, with my abilities, no one among my peers can be my match!"

",,,"

Xie Ling'er didn't answer immediately, probably because she was a little taken aback.

Sure enough, after a while, his emotions gradually calmed down.

"If you truly possess such ability, why doesn't the family let you manage a prestigious building?"

That's true!
Xie Zheng's statement, besides making Xie Ling'er understand that Xie Zheng possessed a mysterious self-confidence, also...

That's all.

"You deserve to die!"

Hearing about Xie Ling'er again after so long, Xie Zheng was completely enraged.

"kill him!"

Too lazy to waste any more words with Xie Ling'er, he simply said something to the Qingfeng Swordsman.

This is the young man Xie Ling'er recruited. Perhaps he has some talent, but he is so young. What is the point of having talent if he has not fully matured?

He thought about how Xie Ling'er would be furious, but she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Xie Zheng's lips were adorned with an irrepressible smile.

"Remember what you promised!"

Qingfeng Swordsman did not consider himself Xie Zheng's subordinate; he was merely someone Xie Zheng needed to do.

He glanced at Xie Zheng, who was acting arrogantly and unrestrainedly, before drawing his long sword.

"Young man, blame your own bad luck!"

Staring at Ye Liuyun, the Qingfeng Swordsman spoke in a cold tone.

Although there is no enmity, how many people in this world fight each other over a little bit of cultivation resources?

",,,"

Hmm! That's quite interesting.

With his arms crossed, Ye Liuyun watched the Qingfeng swordsman approach with a long sword in his hand. His expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even say anything, just watched with great interest.

This trip to the Xie family has been even more interesting than Ye Liuyun had imagined.

"Pretending!"

I thought I would see the other person panicking.

The current situation made Xie Zheng frown. As he had said before, in Xie Zheng's opinion, what kind of cultivation could a young man like Ye Liuyun possibly have?

He was probably panicking inside, but he was still pretending to be strong on the surface.

The Xie family mansion is very large, and this is the front yard. The surrounding area is extremely open, which is just right for fighting.

Some members of the Xie family in the vicinity have already noticed this situation.

No one said much.

Most people were just watching the show.
